The old Taoist priest, dragging his weary body, along with the rest of the people he had brought, purified the mass grave.

Once the demonic energy in the mass grave disappeared, the entire atmosphere changed.

Although the ground was still littered with corpses, the chilling atmosphere had vanished.

"Master, do you think what they're saying is true or false?"

Someone behind me asked.

"I don't think they are bad people. If it weren't for their rescue yesterday, we might have all fallen into demonic possession."

The old Taoist priest remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we have nothing to do with him anymore. If we meet again in the future, just pretend we didn't see him."

"But they are our benefactors."

Those who cultivate the Tao value cause and effect most highly.

The universe operates on a cycle of cause and effect, with karmic retribution. Those who have received kindness from others should repay it. Otherwise, it will surely become an obstacle on their path of spiritual cultivation.

"We'll see when the time comes," the old Taoist priest sighed softly. Debts are easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay. Who knows what will happen then?

Ning Hong led Ning Zhaozhao across the mountain smoothly; on this side of the mountain was a city.

“Diancheng.” Ning Hong looked up at the majestic city and reached out to adjust Ning Zhaozhao’s veil.

"Brother, the veil is lost."

She left her veiled hat in town.

"It's okay, your brother has prepared a lot for you, so you can take any of them with you."

"Brother, is it because you dislike Acha's eyes?"

"How could that be? I like her too much to bear it. It's just that Acha's eyes are prone to causing trouble. I don't want to waste my time on these people."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Have you ever seen your brother lie to you?"

"It seems so." She always felt that her brother had lied to her many times.

"when?"

"I can't remember."

"If you can't remember, then it must be gone."

Ning Hong then patted her head as usual.

"Let's go find a place to stay first."

"Second Young Master, you're still alive? Second Young Master?" Just as Ning Hong was pondering whether they were going to rent or buy a house, a servant suddenly rushed up to him excitedly, "Second Young Master?"

"Who are you?" Ning Hong asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Second Young Master, don't you recognize me? I'm Mo Yan."

Seeing Ning Hongze's unfamiliar gaze, the servant's eyes reddened with anxiety. "You really don't recognize this servant?"

"Mo Yan?"

Ning Hong turned her neck and said, "I can't remember. There are many things I can't remember."

After emerging from the mass grave, his mind went completely blank.

Could it be that his home is in this city?

But if that's the case, why was the original owner of this body thrown into the mass grave in that small town?

Where are the servants around him?

Where are the guards?

Where did they all go?

"I'm sorry, I was seriously injured and I forgot a lot of things after I woke up."

"Young Master, you're injured? Where are you injured? How are you now? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing that Ning Hongze was injured, Mo Yan panicked.

"I've fully recovered, but I can't remember many things."

"Young Master, how can you be so pitiful?"

Mo Yan suddenly covered her face and cried.

"I think I'm fine. Maybe you've mistaken me for someone else."

That's also possible.

After all, people can be similar.

"Admit a mistake? Impossible, a servant would never mistake someone for someone else."

Mo Yan shook his head, "This servant has served the young master since childhood. This servant knows exactly what the young master looks like. The young master has a red mole on his chest."

Ning Hongze: "—"

The original body did seem to have a red mole?

Could it be that the original owner of this body was really this person's second young master?

"If I really am your second young master, then I suppose there is no place for me in this family."

"Why would the second young master say that?"

"I'm recuperating on the other side of this mountain. If anyone really cares about me, they can find me as long as they cross this mountain."

It's okay if you don't turn over.

The journey would take ten days to half a month, but if one were on horseback, it would be much faster, taking only three days. "However, he spent more than a year recuperating from his injuries there, and never saw or heard of anyone coming to find him."

So this family never even looked for him.

Mo Yan fell silent; it was indeed the truth.

For the Ning family, having one qualified heir is enough.

"The eldest young master is young and promising, and full of vigor. Now he has married the second young master's sweetheart, Miss Ou Lanyue of the Ou family, and with the support of the Ou family, he is even more powerful. Basically, the next head of the family should be the eldest young master."

"oh."

Ning Hong nodded calmly.

"Does the second young master not care about the position of family head? Nor does he care that Miss Ou Lanyue will marry the eldest young master?"

"I don't care," Ning Hong shook her head. "I don't care at all."

He's not the original owner of this body, so why would he care about these people's feelings?

As for that Oran Moon?

He already has Acha, what need does he have for anyone else?

What is a sweetheart?

Acha suddenly spoke up, pulling Ning Hongze's hand slightly.

“A sweetheart is someone you like. The Second Young Master used to be very fond of Miss Ou Lanyue,” Mo Yan said. “Who is this young lady?”

"Like?" Ning Zhaozhao pulled Ning Hongze behind her. "Brother, you're not allowed to like anyone else, you're only allowed to like me."
