The gentle strains of Cantonese opera echoed through the bamboo grove.

She held her lotus fingers gracefully, with her curved eyebrows and charming eyes, singing, "Even without a duet of mandarin ducks, my heart and soul are already pledged to my love..."

Her figure grew increasingly ethereal, and she gave Yu Feiyang a tender smile.

"Farewell once more, Yu."

Guo Fengdan transformed into a sprinkle of golden light, dissipating into the vast expanse of the universe.

Yu Feiyang sat dazed on the ground, staring at his hands.

Just moments ago, he seemed to have grasped a glimmer of that golden light.

Chu Yuening had already guided all the Guo family ghosts to the other side, leaving no malevolent spirits in the bamboo grove. Hence, Chu Yuening was no longer worried about Yu Feiyang's safety and left the bamboo grove together with Zhou Fengxu.

As they exited, they heard Shi Boren roll down his car window and honk frantically, his face fraught with urgency.

"Brother Xu, where were you? I just searched the entire bamboo grove and couldn't find you."

Zhou Fengxu replied, "It's nothing."

After he spoke, he turned his gaze to Chu Yuening.

The girl seemed to still be absorbed in what had just occurred, holding onto her peach wood sword for a while before she came back to her senses.

"Oh right, it's nothing," she echoed.

After all, no one would take anything that happened in the bamboo grove seriously.

"Supernatural and mysterious, I have no idea what you two were up to," Shi Boren commented, then suddenly recalled something and turned to look at Chu Yuening, scratching his head. "Brother Xu clearly went into the bamboo grove alone, so how did he come out with another person?"

Chu Yuening opened the back door of the car and got in. "Dumb, I entered from the other side of the bamboo grove! I just happened to bump into Zhou Shazhan while he was investigating, so we ended up together."

"Oh. Then you two really do have a telepathic connection, running into each other while investigating."

Zhou Fengxu also sat in the back seat, while Gan Yizu pitifully clung to the car window, barely occupying any space, leaving an empty spot for Chu Yuening.

There was still a distance of over ten centimeters between them. He believed that such an arrangement would not cause any inconvenience to the lady at all. Throughout the journey, Shi Boren kept telling jokes and then asking if they had found any useful clues. Zhou Fengxu shook his head. They had encountered bizarre incidents as soon as they entered, so even if there were any criminal footprints at the scene, they would have been ruined by now. "There's a residential area outside the bamboo forest. Judging from the footprints, the murderer should be inside that area. Let's send someone to investigate in the neighborhood tomorrow." "Sounds good," Chu Yuening muttered, eyeing Zhou Fengxu up and down.Ordinary people would have already lost their composure in such bizarre situations, yet he remained calm despite almost having his soul swallowed to serve as a vessel. Zhou Fengxu sensed her gaze and turned to look at her. After some thought, he still asked his question. "Has Guo Fengdan been completely destroyed or has she reincarnated?" Chu Yuening whispered, "Of course she's reincarnated." "Reincarnation is real?" Zhou Fengxu was surprised.

"Nonsense, where else would she go?" Chu Yuening sighed softly.

"What about Guo Fengdan's next life?" he asked again.

"She will be reborn into a healthy and enlightened family, and she'll live a very happy life," Chu Yuening replied.

"But," Chu Yuening said, puzzled, as she calculated again, "In this life, neither she nor Yu Feiyang have any marriage lines; they only have strong career lines."

The once visible marriage lines had suddenly vanished, leaving nothing but emptiness.

This meant that Yu Feiyang wouldn't find love in this lifetime and would spend it alone.

However,

Their karma was not yet exhausted. After this life, Yu Feiyang would wait for Dan Dan in the underworld, and their connection would continue in their next life.

At that time, they would be of similar ages, and upon reunion, they would fall in love at first sight. Yu Feiyang would bring fortune to Guo Fengdan's career, and they would harmoniously complement each other, sharing a lifelong bond of marriage.

Shi Boren glanced in the rearview mirror and complained, "Strange, I have no idea what you two are talking about. Brother Xu usually doesn't talk so much, does he?"

Zhou Fengxu spoke softly, "Focus on driving."

"Oh." Shi Boren withdrew his furtive gaze, his tone tinged with resentment, "You get annoyed even when I ask a couple more questions. Sigh, such a high-handed young master's attitude."

Zhou Fengxu said, "You can be quiet."

An indignant huff from Shi Boren reached Zhou Fengxu's ears.

Chu Yuening leaned against the window with her peach wood sword in hand, gazing at the moon in the sky.

She smiled slightly.

In this lifetime, she hoped she could take Cantonese opera further.

Chapter 55

It was the weekend.

Chu Yuening took a shower early in the morning; she had returned home late last night. The shower in the apartment was located at the end of the corridor, and its sound insulation was mediocre. If the showerhead was turned on, it would rattle for a long time. To avoid waking Chu Yi, she quickly rinsed herself off.

When she emerged with her hair towel-dried.

The curtains by the side of the hall were already drawn, allowing golden sunlight to spill onto the khaki-colored carpet. Chu Yi was sprawled on the floor, opening a colorful plastic bag and picking up scattered mineral water bottles one by one to put them inside.

"Isn't it rare to have a weekend off? Why don't you rest more?" Chu Yuening asked as she continued drying her hair and searched for a hairdryer.

"Sis." Chu Yi lifted her small head, her eyes sparkling when she saw her beloved sister. She abandoned counting the bottles and tugged on Chu Yuening's arm, pouting.

"What have you been busy with lately? I barely see you at night."

Chu Yi usually woke up at six-thirty for school, and it wouldn't be appropriate to disturb her sleeping elder sister. One had an early rise and early return, while the other had a late departure and late arrival, resulting in minimal overlap between them despite living under the same roof.

As Chu Yi pouted, her lips resembled those of a baby duck more and more.

Chu Yuening reached out to pinch her plump, baby cheeks.

"We're seeing each other today, aren't we?"

She fished out a hairdryer from a drawer, plugged it into the socket, and switched it on, sending warm air flowing from it.

Chu Yi didn't interrupt, instead crouching down to gather the mineral water bottles again. Recalling something, she looked up and said, "Teacher plans on taking the whole class out for a BBQ trip. We'll be staying outdoors for a day."

Chu Yuening felt a bit worried.

After all, Hong Kong's nightlife wasn't particularly safe. Many wayward youngsters rode their small motorbikes through the streets, causing a ruckus.
