The next day, Zheng Ze put on his clothes and came to Sima Mansion.
Yan Lingji came with him after all, and for some unknown reason, she wore a light blue dress, which restrained her original bright and coquettish beauty, giving her a more feminine feel.
Her thoughts were like a ball of flame, changing all the time. Zheng Ze just watched and didn't spend much time trying to figure out what she was thinking.
At least, attending the funeral dressed like this didn't look so special.
But even so, as he walked through the guests who came to see Master Sima off, he could still feel the gazes directed towards Yan Lingji beside him. Her face and invisible temperament were really too charming.
Hard to conceal.
Zheng Ze's face was expressionless, but Yan Lingji's seductive eyes accidentally looked at his side face and read a trace of unhappiness in it.
She leaned close to Zheng Ze's ear and whispered: "What, you don't want your sister to be seen by other men?"
Hearing this, Zheng Ze curled his lips, but before he could speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure in the crowd from the corner of his eye. He felt that it looked familiar. Just as he was about to go over and take a look, he was stopped by a voice.
"Uncle Liu!"
With the help of the servant, Liu Xian limped over and said, "The time is coming. Xian was injured last night. Since uncle is here, why don't you help take care of it?"
While talking, Liu Xian couldn't help but notice Yan Lingji next to Zheng Ze, and his eyes unconsciously showed a touch of surprise. This woman is so beautiful!
While sighing, I suddenly felt that I was still thinking about my aunt and this uncle before... It was because of my villainy.
With such a beautiful woman, would anyone want to seduce a husband, oh no, a widow? Impossible!
Logically speaking, Zheng Ze is a guest and he shouldn't say that. But Liu Xian's move undoubtedly shows that I treat my uncle as a family member.
The corner of Zheng Ze's mouth moved. The other party's attitude obviously changed because of what happened last night, but he still pointed in the direction just now, "There was a child here just now. Do you know whose family it belongs to?"
Liu Xian looked in the direction he pointed and frowned. There were no children!
He didn't think much and replied casually: "I have hosted a banquet for some neighbors in the past two days. I didn't know these neighbors before. I don't know which family the child is from. Is it a child who bumped into you?"
Zheng Ze shook his head. The children looked exactly the same, and he wasn't sure if he was overthinking it.
Seeing this, Liu Xian felt that the time for the funeral was approaching, so he urged Zheng Ze to go to the mourning hall earlier.
Yan Lingji and Zheng Ze walked with him. Yan Lingji, who was side by side with Zheng Ze, suddenly approached Zheng Ze's ear and said, "There was something wrong with that child just now? Do you want me to catch him?"
She seems to have always been like this. When Zheng Ze talks about business with others, she stays silent beside Zheng Ze and just watches his every word and action.
Only when Zheng Ze was over, would she express her thoughts, and her thoughts were still towards him.
I have to say that besides being beautiful, this woman is actually very comfortable to get along with.
Regarding his proposal, Zheng Ze shook his head, "No need to bother."
He just felt that he was overthinking it. Logically speaking, that person would not appear in South Korea.
Regarding his denial of her good intentions, Yan Lingji curled her lips but didn't say anything.
Just a casual expression on her face can make the owner of those furtive glances look straight at her.
When we arrived at the mourning hall, a large number of people were kneeling here. Almost all of Liu Yi's clan relatives, sons and nephews came as long as they were related to him.
However, as Liu Xian is Liu Yi's nephew and has some abilities, he is the person designated by the clan to be in charge of this matter.
Passing by these people, Zheng Ze looked at the coffin made of cypress trees according to the etiquette. This was different from the coffins that people in later generations had in mind.
Coffin coffin, inner coffin and outer coffin. Inside is the coffin containing the body of the deceased, and outside is the coffin with exquisitely carved patterns.
Yan Lingji glanced at the scene in front of her and then looked at Zheng Ze. She was actually not interested in any of this. What she was interested in was Zheng Ze.
However, when she looked at Zheng Ze, she found that Zheng Ze had a solemn look on his face, staring closely at the coffin in the center of the mourning hall.
Dai Mei frowned slightly, and when she followed his gaze, she saw nothing unusual.
She couldn't help but asked aloud: "Is there any problem?"
After many days of getting to know each other, she knew very well that Zheng Ze's every move had a purpose. He suddenly became solemn and only explained what he had discovered.
Zheng Ze's response was to hold her wrist and said seriously: "From now on, don't leave my side."
Yan Lingji was surprised by his reaction, but her first thought was not to refuse, but to feel the possible dangers around her.
It won't be too simple to make him so dignified!
Although Liu Xian just said that, it was impossible to really ask Zheng Ze to help with the work, so he just waited on the side.
Mrs. Hu was with her female relatives at this time, and he did not rush to find her to do some work. Since he came to the mourning hall, his attention has been on the coffin.
Seeing him like this, Yan Lingji also looked at the coffin made of cypress wood with great interest. According to the etiquette, the coffins of kings should be made of pine wood, ordinary people should use miscellaneous wood, and it is correct for Liu Yi's status to use cypress wood.
She looked at it for a long time and found nothing wrong with the coffin.
Without waiting for her to think too much, the wake-up ceremony soon began. After some instigation by the alchemist, a group of relatives and friends set off from Sima Mansion and marched towards the chosen cemetery.
The farewell team was very long, most of them were covered in white cloth. The guide held a wooden pole with white flags and led the people behind him to move forward slowly.
The route was planned in advance, so we made arrangements and there were no other people to disturb us along the way.
"who?!"
Suddenly, I heard a servant in the team scolding me, and then there was the sound of a sword cutting through the void.
By the time others reacted, someone had already fallen down, and the scene began to become chaotic.
A group of masked killers seemed to have been ambush for a long time. They ignored all obstacles and rushed to Liu Yi's coffin.
Before they could take action, the next moment, Yan Lingji's coffin, which showed no abnormality, was suddenly crushed to pieces by the sword light, and the sharp sword energy continued unabated, heading towards the killer who was approaching the coffin!
Liu Xian, who was supported by his servant, realized what he had done. He was stunned at what had just happened. The killer was so fast that no one had time to react. He only had one idea now.
My uncle's coffin exploded?
In the middle of the coffin bearers, a woman suddenly appeared, and around her, the whole place was filled with mourning.
Without any communication, just kill with a sword!
Zheng Ze looked deeply at this woman. The sword in her hand was very exquisite and strange.
Faced with a well-prepared ambush, she did not feel at a disadvantage. She provoked her opponent and left with extremely powerful movements.
When the killers saw this, they chased after him.
Yan Lingji looked at Zheng Ze's expression, and she finally understood why Zheng Ze was so solemn just now. That woman is so strong!
But at this moment, she suddenly turned her head and looked warily not far away.
The two killers did not leave, but slowly walked towards this side with their swords pressed. Just when they saw the murderer, the guests were already running away. Now that they saw the killer coming, they were even more frightened and ran back desperately.
So Zheng Ze and Yan Lingji, who were standing still, suddenly appeared.
Seeing this, a ball of flame rose up in Yan Lingji's palm, and her red lips parted slightly, "Nothing good has ever happened to Liu Yi since he met you, and he won't even rest in peace until he dies. He is really lucky to meet you."
As she spoke, she took a step across and stood in front of Zheng Ze. These two killers were both on the sixth level and were the weakest among the group they just formed.
The eyes of the two killers ignored Yan Lingji and fell directly on Zheng Ze's face. They looked at each other with shock and did not dare to step forward for a while.
But... they searched for that small figure in the crowd, trotting towards Zheng Ze with a pair of short legs.
Zheng Ze lowered his head and saw a little girl pulling on the corner of his clothes and timidly saying: "Dad, I'm scared!"
Hearing this clear childish voice, Yan Lingji couldn't help but turn her head.
