"It just so happens that I've never witnessed such a grand scene as the ritual to release an old corpse before, so I can go with you all to see it!"

Lin Xue understood her master's difficulties, so she wasn't angry.

Instead, he happily carried his small cloth bag and followed his senior brothers to escort the coffin to the burial site prepared by the Gu family.

Accompanying them were the younger generation of the Gu family; when they arrived, there were already dozens of people there.

A large group of people, young and old, were waiting for the coffin to be delivered.

Lin Xue followed behind her two senior brothers. With the eldest and second senior brothers around, she basically didn't need to help them.

She was just there to watch the fun.

When the old zombie was placed on the firewood pile to be burned, the crackling sounds and terrifying roars frightened many of the children in the room into tears.

If it weren't for the restrictions placed on this old zombie by its master and uncle, it probably would have jumped out of the fire and escaped by now.

Lin Xue glanced at the burial site chosen by the Gu family.

This place is truly a rare and auspicious feng shui location. There are also several large tombs around here, which must be the ancestral tombs of the Gu family.

"Sister, aren't you scared?"

Lin Xue was engrossed in reading when suddenly a pair of delicate pink hands tugged at her sleeve.

She looked down and saw a little girl who looked about six or seven years old.

Although the little girl was wearing a drab gray mourning dress, her rosy cheeks still betrayed her cuteness.

"If you're not afraid, baby, how could your older sister possibly be afraid?"

"Besides, your ancestor is returning to the underworld, and he can then bless your Gu family to live a healthy and happy life!"

"This is a good thing, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Lin Xue patted the little girl's head, showing extra patience towards the soft and cute girl.
