Chapter 565: Chapter 563 Digging Up the Grave of the One You Loved Most_1

Mu Zixuan’s heart skipped a beat, and she gaped at Mu Zisu, speechless for a moment before murmuring, "Yaoyao... this isn’t good..."

Although there was a great chance that Xiaoxiao was alive, they couldn’t completely exclude the possibility that she wasn’t. If they rashly went to...

"Only in this way can we get the answer in the shortest and quickest time..." The depths of Mu Zisu’s eyes shimmered with determination.

"Now is the best opportunity!"

Mu Zisu’s next words suddenly stunned Mu Zixuan again...

"Yaoyao... otherwise, let’s investigate a bit more..." Mu Zixuan still wanted to stop Mu Zisu’s method.

After all, there was a saying, ’rest in peace,’ and if Xiaoxiao was really inside, then... she would not rest peacefully...

Mu Zisu’s gaze was firm as he looked steadily at Mu Zixuan, "Right now..."

Mu Zixuan had no choice but to nod silently, realizing that sometimes the best solution was the one that was not really a solution at all!

"I’ll go back to my room for a moment..."

Mu Zisu nodded, then followed her out.

"What are you doing?" Mu Zixuan turned to look at him. He was supposed to wait for her.

"Getting tools..."

"Keep it down..."

Mu Zisu nodded and walked off in the other direction.

Mu Zisu cautiously went back to his room to put on a coat and then changed his slippers...

Just as he straightened up, Mu Ziqing, who had been sound asleep, suddenly mumbled drowsily, "Sis... why are you taking so long just to go to the bathroom..."

Mu Zixuan’s actions froze abruptly. When had Qiqi woken up?

"Uh... haha... Qiqi, I have a stomachache, I need to go one more time..." Mu Zixuan said as she got up to leave.

Mu Ziqing suddenly stood up from the bed, "You’re lying! What are you doing getting so dressed up just to go to the bathroom?"

Mu Zixuan suddenly felt an urge to spit blood--

Mu Ziqing hopped off the bed and looked at Mu Zixuan discontentedly, "Are you going off again to rummage around for stuff on your own?"

Unable to hide it anymore, Mu Zixuan reluctantly nodded to her.

"What are you looking for? I’ll go with you..." Mu Ziqing suddenly perked up.

Mu Zixuan quickly waved her hands, "No need, no need, you get some sleep. I’ll be fine by myself. Besides, it’s still dark outside..."

"No way, I’m going with you..." Mu Ziqing said as she started changing her shoes.

Mu Zixuan suddenly held her forehead and sighed. This little girl, would she faint from fright if she went with them?

"Let’s get this straight first... once we get there, you mustn’t scream. Just follow us quietly..." Mu Zixuan said seriously.

Mu Ziqing’s heart skipped, follow them quietly?

Were there more people than just the two of them?

"Sis... you didn’t call big brother too, did you?" Mu Ziqing asked suspiciously, looking at Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan nodded helplessly. Wasn’t it Yaoyao who had called her out? But it was no use explaining now. After she nodded, she pulled Mu Ziqing towards the door—

Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing had always stayed in this courtyard when they came here, and they knew there was a back door. When Mu Zisu arrived with tools in hand, they led him towards the back door...

Mu Ziqing looked at the items in Mu Zisu’s hands with astonishment, not understanding why he had brought all these things. But since both Mu Zisu and Mu Zixuan had stern expressions and said nothing, she didn’t dare to ask and just followed them quietly out the back door...

Mu Zisu’s heart fluctuated between high hopes and deep valleys. He was full of anticipation, but at the same time, he feared what he might find.

He hoped the answer would match what he wished for, yet he feared that the sight awaiting him would break his heart and send him into despair.

The moonlight was like a hook, draping the night with a hazy silver veil. The sky’s silver moon bestowed a solemn and mystical grandeur. Arriving at the graveyard’s entrance, Mu Ziqing suddenly grabbed Mu Zixuan’s arm and wouldn’t move forward...

"Sister, what... what are you doing here at this time?" She glanced again at the things Mu Zisu was carrying, a sense of dread filling her.

Mu Zixuan turned to look at her. "Do you remember the promise you just made in the room..."

Mu Ziqing made a pitiful face and then nodded miserably. But how could she have known they were coming here to search for something?

Her eyes widened suddenly. "You... You’re not planning to rob a grave, are you?"

Mu Zixuan touched her forehead in resignation and then nodded, "More or less..." What they were about to do was indeed not so different from grave robbing, was it?

Mu Zisu looked at Mu Ziqing, "Just follow us..." He then turned and entered the graveyard.

Even though the moon was bright in the sky, the dense trees within the cemetery walls blocked much of the moonlight, casting an eerie gloom that sent shivers down one’s spine...

Mu Ziqing was close to tears. She couldn’t understand why her sister, who loved causing mischief and seeking thrills, had managed to drag their brother into this nonsense too.

Looking at the sinister graves, she held onto Mu Zixuan’s hand tighter...

This cemetery housed more than one grave. Presumably buried here were their aunt’s great-grandparents, as well as their grandparents who had passed away a few years ago. Hence, Mu Zixuan too began to feel a tinge of fear...

Mu Zisu walked up in front of a tombstone, caressed its cold surface with tenderness, and after a while, he gently said, "Xiaoxiao... I’m sorry... If... If you’re really in there... you wouldn’t blame me, right?"

"But I hope, you’re not in there..."

Mu Zixuan sighed quietly in her heart, sharing the hope that Xiaoxiao was not inside.

Upon hearing Mu Zisu’s words, Mu Ziqing’s eyes widened in shock as she fully realized the true intent of their visit!

Could it be? Xiaoxiao... she... wasn’t dead?

In an instant, she forgot her fear and stared fixedly at the grave in the night, which seemed filled with a chilling aura...

The graves in this cemetery were all simple, just small mounds of earth piled high, and this very simplicity now facilitated Mu Zisu’s task...

His movements were steady, yet only he knew that both his heart and his hands were trembling. Unearthing the grave of his most beloved was a cruel task indeed!

But for that fifty percent chance of hope, he had to open the coffin to see, whether she was really there or not...

Mu Zixuan also picked up a tool from the side and began to dig—

Mu Ziqing, still in shock, struggled to come to terms with the news. This revelation was too shocking for her. If Xiaoxiao was alive, it would be the greatest joy for the Mu Family!

Time passed unknowingly, and Mu Zixuan felt sweat covering her whole body. Although her arms were sore and painful, she persisted, biting her teeth and continuing the work with Mu Zisu...

Finally...

Mu Zisu and Mu Zixuan both stopped at the same time...
