At this moment, Xiao Cui noticed the words carved on the stone tablet.

He carved out every single word of the original text on the stele!

But the broken tombstone could never be pieced back together, so how did he know that?

"You..." Xiao Cui was surprised and didn't know what to say.

Mu Tiantian carefully placed the tombstone upright and asked, "Is there any incense?"

“Yes…” Xiao Cui nodded blankly, “I…I’ll go get it for you.”

After a long while, Xiao Cui brought over a few sticks of incense.

Mu Tiantian tried to ignite it by channeling her inner energy.

"It's a success." Mu Tiantian smiled.

Qi Tong was shocked: "Your body is new; it's impossible for you to have internal energy."

Mu Tiantian: [There can be many clones, but there is only one soul.]

Qi Tong: [What do you mean?]

Mu Tiantian didn't say anything, but bowed and placed the incense sticks in front of the monument.

Xiao Cui had witnessed the power of the Fiery Palm.

To be able to ignite a fire out of thin air, one must at least have mastered the eighth level of the Phoenix Blazing Flame technique.

Currently, the only people who can reach the eighth level are the sect leader of the Phoenix Buddha Sect, a few elders, Bei Mingchuan, Xing Wusong, and the deceased Manor Lord Mu Tiantian.

The man in front of us not only erected a monument for Xiangxue, but he could also write out the inscription on the monument in its entirety.

he...

“Xiao Cui, Xiang Xue used to take good care of you. Do you remember when she bought you candied hawthorns and you broke your tooth? You should light two sticks of incense for her too.”

Upon hearing his gentle, sweet voice, Xiao Cui blurted out, "Sister Tian Tian..."

Mu Tiantian gestured for her to be quiet. "Shh, don't say it yet. Just call me Young Master Xing. Let's offer incense."

Xiao Cui was still in shock when she lit incense in a daze.

"Tian...Young Master Xing, how...how could this be..." Xiao Cui was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

I clearly have a lot of questions to ask.

Mu Tiantian glanced around and said to her, "Actually, I faked my death. Don't tell anyone yet."

"But...but I've seen your body. Could it be a fake?" To this day, Xiao Cui still remembers the night Bei Mingchuan brought back her body and married her.

Eerie and terrifying.

That same night, many people in the villa were frightened away.

Mu Tiantian touched her nose and said, "Yes, it's fake."

Xiao Cui beamed with joy and immediately tried to hug Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian quickly stopped her, patted her head, and said, "Don't let others find out. And don't reveal my identity yet. Tell me what's going on with Xiangmei?"

"I don't know why Sister Xiangmei suddenly changed. She was very obedient in front of the Pavilion Master and the Manor Master, but she was very arrogant and domineering in front of others, and she made everyone bow to her when they saw her."

Xiao Cui pouted, "The manor lord is rarely seen, the pavilion master rarely comes back, Young Master Yu is not familiar with the situation of the manor, and I am weak-willed, so no one else in the manor dares to say anything."

"Why do you bow to her too? Didn't you and she come to the manor at the same time?" Mu Tiantian asked.

Xiangmei is only one year older than Xiaocui. When she was alive, they always addressed each other as sisters and got along very well.

There are no messy rules like bowing.

Unlike now, where people are treated like servants.

"Sister Xiangmei said she's a year older than me, so it's only right for a younger sister to bow to her older sister. I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Xiaocui said with a silly look on her face. "She said that since Sister Tiantian and Sister Xiangxue are no longer here, I'll have to rely on her from now on, so I have to be filial to her and listen to her."

"Next time you see her, you don't need to bow. Just call her 'sister' to show respect. You can ignore her too. If she causes you trouble, just say that I never made such rules. If she dares to lay a hand on you, come find me."

Mu Tiantian gently patted Xiao Cui's head and said softly, "I'll support you."

Xiao Cui felt a warmth in her heart and had an urge to cry.

Seeing that her eyes were red, Mu Tiantian pinched her chubby little face and said, "Our Xiao Cui has grown up. Don't cry."

Xiao Cui nodded, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go ask the kitchen to cook for you."

"I'm not hungry. Get me some peach tree seeds and I'll plant them."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiao Cui hurriedly ran towards the warehouse.

Qi Tong: [So you've officially exposed your identity now. Aren't you afraid Xiao Cui will betray you? It's been five years, after all.]

Mu Tiantian: [She has little experience in the ways of the world. I can tell at a glance whether she trusts me or not; she won't.]

Seven Unifications: [Bei Mingchuan's corruption level is 95. If anything unexpected happens, this world will be finished.]

Mu Tiantian: [The last few points of my corruption value are very difficult to increase. I've thought about it carefully. If Bei Mingchuan really likes me and wants me to come back to life, then even if I really see two 'Mu Tiantians,' my corruption value won't easily reach its maximum.]

But bringing them all down won't be so easy.

As long as he harbors hostility towards this world, or distrusts it and her, then this "darkening value" cannot be reset to zero.

Seven Unifications: [Even if his corruption level isn't full, he'll still question things and it will have an impact on the world.]

Mu Tiantian: [Then we can only take a gamble. As long as his corruption level isn't too high, nothing will happen in this world.]

Seven Unifications: [...gambling addict.]

Mu Tiantian: [You've known me for a while now.]

Qi Tong didn't care: [Anyway, the level of this world isn't high, so failure is failure.]

Xiao Cui brought over the peach tree seeds and planted them with Mu Tiantian.

She instructed Xiao Cui to treat her like any other person at the villa, and not to reveal her true identity to anyone.

Xiao Cui was very obedient and did as she was told.

Mu Tiantian could also use the identity of "Xing Mu" to see what Wushuang Manor had become.

...

evening.

Xiao Cui tells Xiang Mei about the fabricated backstory of "Xing Mu" by Mu Tian Tian.

Xiangmei had no doubts.

Mu Tiantian went to the wine cellar to pay her respects to Xiangxue.

She brewed a lot of wine back then, but now there's not much left.

She took a small jar of pomegranate wine and secretly headed towards the back of the mountain.

This scene was witnessed by Bu Xiuyi, who had come to see her, and he quietly followed her.

Seven Commanders: [Bu Xiu is also behind you.]

Mu Tiantian: [If he wants to come, then let him come.]

Qi Tong: [Didn't you ever intend to hide your identity from him?]

Because it saw that she didn't change her personality when she was with Bu Xiuyi.

Mu Tiantian: [He has plenty of experience in the underworld; he can tell the difference between truth and falsehood, so there's no need to act in front of him.]

She carried the wine to Xiangxue's grave. Before she even sat down, she smelled the aroma of grilled fish and the fragrance of osmanthus wine.

Mu Tiantian followed the scent toward the cave.

A fire was burning not far away, and a figure with a full head of white hair was sitting next to it.

The old man grilled the fish while burning paper money, muttering, "Apprentice, your master is burning more paper money for you. If that's not enough, come to your master in a dream."
