Deep in the night, the gentle moonlight shone through the window onto Qimu's body. She had her hands around her knees as she hugged herself. Her pitch-black eyes were lowered as she thought about everything that had happened today.

"Ever since she was young, her education has taught her that there are no ghosts or gods in this world. What about that monk? Who is he? Is it a god or an immortal or a Buddha? Sigh, he wasn't an ordinary monk after all.

That monk said, this walk of his is Boundless? Where was he going? Back to modern times? Will he come back? Why did he want to save her? "What is her cause and effect? If she can't pass the third tribulation, what will happen to her? Also, whose debt does she owe …"

He couldn't help but let out a light sigh as his fingertips held onto her smooth forehead and lightly swayed left and right, as if trying to get rid of the entanglement on her mind. However, his gaze inadvertently swept across the sleeping figures opposite him.

In order to let her have a good rest, he let Yangyang sleep with them. Thus, the four of them slept together in the same bed, but luckily, it was a bit crowded. Fortunately, they slept well, and Qimu felt less burden.

Qimu looked in the opposite direction. Yang Lili was overthinking things during the day, and even when she was asleep, her eyebrows were still tightly knitted together. Her beautiful face revealed a faint trace of unease.

As for the others, Ye Dazhuang hugged Little Yiran. Little Yiran curled up in a ball and slept soundly. Yangyang's little fat foot was placed on Ye Dazhuang's waist. The family slept soundly, yet they were all ordinary and cute.

The monk's words weighed heavily on Qimu's heart. It was clearly late at night, yet she was completely devoid of sleep. After thinking for a while, Qimu dressed herself and put on another coat before quietly getting out of bed and walking towards the tightly shut door.

She might as well learn from the ancients and go out for a night of candlelight and poetry. On this ancient night, the stars would revolve around the moon, bright and peaceful, a very beautiful sight to behold. It was a rare night to travel once every thousand years, she did not want to let down this endless night.

"Grandfather?" "Grandfather."

When Qimu gently pushed open the door, the figure of Old Master Ye, who was sitting alone under the big tree in Ye Family 2 room, suddenly appeared in her sight. Qimu blinked her eyes. After confirming that there was no mistake, she smiled playfully and walked up to greet him with light steps.

"Who is it? Mu? "

Old Master Ye was suddenly frightened by Qimu's hand on his shoulder and shouted. Seeing Qimu making a "hush" gesture, thinking that the other people in the second room were still sleeping soundly, he lowered his voice and said,

"Little girl, why aren't you sleeping at this time of the night? Are you trying to scare your grandfather to death in the middle of the night?"

Qimu quickly sat on the ground next to Old Master Ye. She smiled and said in a loud voice.

"Isn't grandpa getting stronger and stronger with age? I'm just a girl, how can I scare you like that? "Besides, I can't sleep in the middle of the night. What is grandpa doing in the middle of the night?"

Old Master Ye stretched out a rough finger and lightly tapped Qimu's forehead. He smiled and said:

"I only said a single sentence to you and you actually replied with my big basket. Those who don't know it, I thought you were the old man of the family."

"What old man?" Is there an old man in our family? How come I've never seen my granddaughter before? All of them are tall and strong, and are very handsome. "

As Qimu spoke to Old Master Ye, she made exaggerated gestures with her hands. The smile in Old Master Ye's eyes became deeper and deeper. She squinted her eyes and said,

"All eighteen generations of our ancestors were honest. When it comes to your generation, you actually came up with such a glib tongue. Tell me honestly, it's the middle of the night. Why are you out if you're not sleeping?" Don't tell me that you've had thoughts and came out to meet a lover while hiding them from your parents? "

Old Master Ye looked at Qimu from head to toe as if he was a spy. Even though he knew that she was a cheap grandpa on purpose, Qimu's cheeks were slightly flushed. She said stubbornly:

"Grandfather doesn't like to laugh, and doesn't like the council. I always felt that grandfather was a proper person, but I never thought that he was this improper. Even my granddaughter couldn't sleep at night, came out for a look at the moon, and blew the wind, yet he still used to make fun of me like this.

"Hmph, if I really don't have anyone left, then I'll just stay at home for the rest of my life and not leave."

"If you don't want to leave, then don't! "I still can't bear to part with such a clever girl like you, but to let someone else marry you for nothing. Keep it well, keep it well …"

"… …"

After the grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed for a while, they both raised their heads and looked at the night scene that was bestowed by the heavens.

Old Master Ye looked at his granddaughter's innocent and naive face and sighed in his heart. He thought to himself, such a good child, if only it was a boy, then she would definitely be able to create a whole new world, then she wouldn't have to worry about losing her Ye Family.

After a moment of thought, Old Master Ye slowly reached into his pocket and took out a yellowed envelope, handing it to Qimu.

"Grandfather, what's this?"

Under Old Master Ye's instructions, Qimu stretched out her hand to retrieve the envelope and then carefully took out the letter inside. Looking at the heavenly book's dense text, Qimu looked at Old Master Ye with a bitter face. She was now truly 'illiterate' and could at most read a few words, but this letter... What does grandpa mean by this?

"Girl, you also have times when you can't do it?"

Old Master Ye looked at Qimu's bitter face. Before he explained, he didn't forget to tease Qimu a little bit. Then, he said slowly:

"Didn't you say that you want to learn how to read and write?"

Qimu's heart moved when she heard Old Master Ye's words. She originally thought that her grandfather wouldn't care about what she said. Obviously, the other day … Xiao Yan raised his eyes slightly. With a joyful frown, he carefully said:

"Can you teach me to read?"

Old Master Ye's heart ached slightly when he saw Qimu's disbelieving expression. This girl was probably the one who most wanted to go to school in the entire Ye Family. A woman's body and a man's heart, he was truly a good descendant of his Ye Family!

He smiled, looked at Qimu with eyes full of kindness and concern, and said:

"Didn't I tell you? In the past, your great-grandparents helped a lot of people, and that included the person who wrote this letter. "

"This was written by a scholar. When he went to the capital to take the exam, he was given the paper by your great-grandparents, and the scholar wept tears of gratitude. Before he left, he left behind a letter, which said: If there is a day when he has the name of the Proclamation of Golden Distinction, he will definitely report it to the Ouroboros Clan."

"And today, that scholar has already become famous. The best boy school in Wutong Town, you know? His Donghua Empire are all famous! He is the Head of the Academy. Regarding the matter of the entire Academy, he is the one who keeps his word. "

"Tell me, is the weight of this letter enough for you to learn a few words?"

When Qimu heard this, she hugged the letter and laughed in a silly manner for a while. However, after a while, she knitted her brows and raised her eyes as she asked:

"However, if that person was sincere and wanted to repay the favor, he would have already done so. Why wait until now?"

What he meant was that the scholar had been gone for so many years and had not come to repay his gratitude. Could he be an ungrateful person? If that was the case, what was the use of her eagerly taking the letter? What a joke and a waste of her time!

Old Master Ye smiled at Qimu and said with certainty:

"That's not true, that person has a conscience. He came to look for us before, I moved my entire family to the Niu Village at that time, and purposely avoided him many times. That's why I haven't contacted him for so many years."

"Then why did grandfather avoid it?"

"You are still young and don't understand how difficult this is to deal with. At that time, our family was in decline, how many eyes were fixated on our family. He just had a foothold, we can't drag him down …"

"So that's how it is. The purple sandalwood chairs in the main hall are not something that an ordinary family can have. I was wondering at the beginning, now that I think about it, did you bring them along with you to the Niu Village?"

Old Master Ye's expression changed, but the more he looked at his granddaughter, the more he liked her. This kind of clever and quick-witted attitude was something that no one in his generation could pass and he said:

"Humph, with your sharp eyes!"

"Put this letter away and quickly go to bed. Look at the girl in the village, which family is like you, strolling around in the middle of the night?"

Hearing Old Master Ye tease her, Qimu stuck out her tongue at him and carefully put away the letter. Then, she stood up and patted the dirt on her body. Facing Old Master Ye who was still sitting down, she stretched out her delicate hand and said:

"Look at the village, which family's old man sits under a tree and watches the moon without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

"Grandfather, you should get up quickly. It's cold at night, we should both go back and rest."

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled. Old Master Ye was smiling so much that his wrinkles were bunched up, but his face was getting more and more amiable. He didn't hold back, directly holding Qimu's hand and getting up.

Before he left, he said in a serious tone:

"You have to properly tell your parents about this matter. If they have any objections, then tell them to come and find me. Let's see how your father will teach that brat a lesson!"

Qimu covered her face as she smiled and waved to Old Master Ye.

"Got it, grandpa. When you go back, be careful. It won't be easy to walk on the road when it gets dark, don't fall."

"Girl, you talk too much! Curse your grandfather? "

"No, grandpa …"
