Evelyn Bert raised her gaze and smiled faintly.Although she hadn't said a word, Song's father felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.Soon, however, Song's father found the situation somewhat amusing.No matter how formidable Evelyn Bert was, she was, after all, just a young girl skilled in some esoteric arts. How could she possibly exude such a powerful aura? It must have been his imagination.What Song's father didn't know was that his current thoughts would soon be completely overturned, leaving him no room for doubt.At this moment, Evelyn Bert looked up at the night sky and then turned to Madam Song, saying, "It's about time. We can go up now."Upon hearing this, Madam Song nodded and instructed the butler to lead the others up, while she herself quickly followed behind Evelyn Bert.Evelyn Bert, along with Qingzhi and Luli, led the way, followed by Madam Song and Song's father. The butler and the strong men they had brought to help carry the tree trailed behind.The group

Following the direction he pointed, Evelyn Bert saw the main hall of the temple!Song Zhichen had actually died in the main hall, which was certainly not a good omen!Qingzhi, standing beside her, also noticed the main hall. A look of concern appeared on her beautiful face, and she asked, "Miss, didn't you say this afternoon that something was off about the main hall? Are we going in now?"Hearing this, Evelyn Bert's expression turned somewhat grim as she replied, "I'll go in. You stay outside and keep watch. If anything unexpected happens and I don't come out, take them and leave. We'll figure everything out once I'm out."Seeing her determination, Qingzhi immediately disagreed, "No, Miss, you already said something was wrong inside. It's so eerie here; you can't go in. Can't we wait until daylight?"Evelyn Bert sighed, "I wish we could wait until morning, but time is of the essence. If we delay any longer, things will only get worse."With these words, Evelyn Bert looked at Qin

Could someone who walks the same path as Evelyn Bert be an ordinary person?Whether others believed it or not, Madam Song certainly did not.At this critical juncture, she simply could not afford another trial and error, let alone take such a risk. Moreover, the words Evelyn Bert had spoken at the foot of the mountain were still fresh in her mind. All she wanted was to quickly return that banyan tree, which was meant to bring doom to their Song family, to its original place.With this thought, the look of apology in Madam Song's eyes when she gazed at Qingzhi became even more pronounced.As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains are there, one need not fear the lack of firewood!Meanwhile, Mr. Song, who had been held back by his wife, was glaring at her with a disgruntled expression, seemingly puzzled as he asked, "Why are you stopping me? Didn't you see the look on her face when she said those words just now?""Our Song family is no less than the leader of the East Dist

Upon hearing this, the butler, in a gentle tone, reassured them, "We didn't expect this sudden situation tonight. I know it's been tough, but please bear with us a little longer. The price isn't an issue; I will compensate everyone for the waiting time based on the hourly rate we initially agreed upon."Seeing the butler make such a promise, the crowd felt much more at ease."If you had said so earlier, there wouldn't have been any problem. We're not unreasonable people. It's just that waiting here for two hours has been quite taxing," one of them said."Exactly, you know we rely on our hourly wages to support our families. We aren't trying to take advantage of the situation; it's just that this delay has really set us back," another chimed in."Come on, we're all old friends here. We don't mind these small inconveniences," someone else added."I think I'll take a nap then. Wake me up when you need us, or I might not have the energy later..."After receiving a satisfactory respon

Receiving the pleading look from Mrs. Song, Evelyn Bert spoke up in a calm tone, "It's not that all the roots can't be cut; it's just that the main root mustn't be severed. The others, if they break a little, it doesn't matter. But if the main root is broken..."Evelyn Bert didn't finish her sentence, but Mrs. Song instantly understood what she meant, and her face paled a bit.From Evelyn Bert's words, Mrs. Song had already sensed something, but she dared not say it out loud, fearing that someone with ill intentions might hear and act against the Song family. She truly did not want the Song family to collapse under her watch. She didn't want to face the ancestors of the Song family in silence after she passed away. She wanted the Song family to be well...Thinking of this, Mrs. Song quickly pulled herself back from her wandering thoughts and, following Evelyn Bert's guidance, began to dig carefully. With each swing of the shovel, her heart tightened, fearing that she might accidenta
