Pei Heng had never believed in such supernatural things until his father banged his head on the ground until it bled. Only then did his father tell him that the thing the Pei family worshipped did not need gold, silver, or incense and faith; it only needed to be reborn into the Pei family.

“He has both good and evil sides.” When Pei’s father spoke of this, his expression still showed undisguised fear, as if he had also witnessed an extremely terrifying scene when he was young.

"What does it mean to be born into the Pei family?" Pei Heng didn't understand his father's meaning at all.

By this time they had already left the Pei family's ancestral hall... After the two had gone far away, the father said, "He sometimes wants to borrow a human body to wander around the human world."

Next came some mysterious things. According to Pei's father, the place where that thing was located was different from the laws of the human world. Its power was too great, and it could not come to the human world without a container to descend to.

The Pei family was the vessel He chose for His descent.

“He’ll go back when he’s had enough fun,” Pei’s father whispered. “A few years, a dozen years…”

He understood his father's meaning: Pei Baijun was the vessel through which "He" descended to earth, or rather, his uncle was the one who descended to earth—

"But my uncle has already passed away..."

According to Pei's father, that uncle should have had his fun and gone home, so why should the Pei family still be so obedient?

“That was the arrival of failure,” Pei’s father said in a low voice. “Your uncle is just one aspect of it.”

Pei Heng still remembered that the statue was two-sided. "You mean, there's another one that didn't successfully descend?"

Pei's father was sweating profusely, but in the end he could only nod.

...

Cen Yu listened for a while, then looked at Pei Heng and asked, "So Pei Baijun is the evil one?"

No wonder the entire Pei family was so afraid of Pei Baijun, as if they were worried that he would kill their whole family.

"Where is the one who is good?"

Pei Heng looked at Cen Yu, "You think so too?"

"I've always thought so too..."

He didn't believe his father's words at the time, but because both his mother and father were adamant, he still wrote down the marriage certificate and burned it for Pei Bojun, just to fulfill the wish of his deceased relative.

At the time, Pei Heng had a difficult problem to solve. According to the original method, it would have cost at least a large sum of money to resolve it smoothly, but after the marriage certificate was burned... that problem was solved just like that.

Both the father and the old lady said it was the result of "that person" appearing to them.

"At the time, I always thought that neither my father nor my grandmother were close to my uncle because he was in poor health and had a special destiny, so he couldn't handle any stress." Pei Heng now finds it all very ridiculous.

His father and grandmother were actually terrified of that person.

That's why I thought of sending him away to avoid the limelight.

“The human body is still fragile, so Pei Bojun passed away at the age of 15,” Pei Heng said.

“I didn’t realize you were such a good actor,” Cen Yu mocked. “At the funeral, I said your uncle had appeared, and you looked so surprised.”

Cen Yu still remembers the astonished look on Pei Heng's face when he heard the description of the boy's appearance at the funeral. It seemed that he never expected that his uncle, who had died long ago, would appear as a vengeful ghost in the funeral hall.

“I was genuinely surprised.”

“I haven’t seen him in all these years.”

Pei Heng said, "He only leaves a few words in my dreams." He looked at Cen Yu, "He misses his wife who is still alive, so he hopes I can sponsor you... and give you a betrothal gift."

"Nonsense!" Cen Yu cursed inwardly.

"After saying all that, can't you even get Pei Baijun to come out and see me?"

“No,” Pei Heng said.

Why do you think Pei Baijun always looks like a 15-year-old boy?

Although Cen Yu couldn't leave the reading chair, he could still move his hands a little... He wanted to find the talisman that Shen Wei had given him, but he also had to be careful that Pei Heng didn't find it.

The system had already told him—

Because he has almost no plot in this book; his role is limited to attending the funeral at the beginning, which leads to the news of Pei Leyun's death.

Even later on, the description of the scumbag's departure from the story is only one sentence—

She died silently in her dream, and some people suspected that it was the vengeful spirit of Pei Leyun seeking revenge.

"So... you can probably do whatever you want?" the system said uncertainly.

The fat cat was completely taken aback when it saw that Cen Yu's sponsor was Pei Heng. It had originally thought that Cen Yu's role in this book was small, and it could move on to the next level in just a few days. Although it was a bit of cheating, it was still a quick way to pass the level.

But the system didn't expect that the Pei family, which only appeared as Pei Lejun's wealthy background in the novel, actually hid such a secret.

"Host is so frail." The fat cat was very worried. "They're either gods or vengeful spirits... I'm really worried you might accidentally die!"

Cen Yu thought to himself, he really might accidentally die in this instance.

The novel mentions that he died in a dream, and the people in the apartment suspected that Pei Leyun was the one who was taking his life, probably because he inadvertently revealed to someone that he had seen Pei Leyun in a dream.

Of course, he still remembered Pei Heng's question when he said Pei Baijun was evil. If Pei Baijun wasn't evil, then after thinking about it, it could only be his deceased marriage partner.

"Why?" Cen Yu was still secretly taking out talismans.

Pei Heng walked over, squatted down in front of him, and pressed his hand down. "Don't move."

He took out the talisman that Shen Wei had given him from Cen Yu's pants pocket.
