As the seven of them walked out of the burial hall, they all turned to walk behind the fiery talisman that was still burning in the air and was floating to the left.  Even though Tao Guotin and the others were scared out of their wits they didn\'t dare to drag their feet behind them after all, right now the only thing that they wanted was to get out of this haunted tomb and go back home!

Mei Xing was scared by the ghostly hands as well but she was doing much better as she chased after Song Yan and asked, " Are you a celestial master?"

" I am," answered Song Yan as she lightly glanced at the young girl next to her, she already knew that Mei Xing possessed the Yin and Yang eyes or else she wouldn\'t have bothered tinkering with her bracelet. In fact, half of her heart wanted to leave Tao Guotin and the rest of these brats to their fate but she remembered the heart-wrenching condition of Madam Tao after the death of her only son and couldn\'t turn a blind eye to Tao Guotin.

In her past life when Tao Guotin went missing and was never found, it didn\'t take long for Old madam Tao to breathe her last and as for Madam Tao, she simply went crazy. She would hug anyone and call him, her son … it was a pitiful sight to watch, even Song Yan who didn\'t have much humanity left in her back then couldn\'t help but feel sorry for Madam Tao. In the end, Madam Tao was run over by a truck while she was chasing her imaginary Tao Guotin but even after her death, she never got peace, she stayed where she was looking for her son\'s soul hoping that she will see him one last time before moving on—— something that never happened.

To think that because of this child\'s stupidity, two lives were lost just like that.

If not for the small flicker of pity that she had for madam Tao, she would have left Tao Guotin to his faith and be done with it.

" Yu Shen, after you go home make sure to call the parents of these kids and tell them what they have been up to," Song Yan suddenly spoke from the front causing shivers to dance down the spines of the young teens. " I don\'t care how their parents sort them out but," her gaze dropped to Tao Guotin before she coldly announced,  " make sure that Tao Guotin is punished by the family rod."

" Why?" Tao Guotin was so scared that he started hiccuping, the family rod. If that fell on his butt then his peach would become a little melon! Why was he being treated like this?

Song Yan paused and then turned to look at Tao Guotin, under the golden light her face was terrifying enough to make Tao Guotin\'s hiccups stop. " Why?" She scoffed with a smirk. " The others I can understand why they are rebellious… they have elder brothers and elder sisters to make up for them, even if something happens to them, their parents would somehow manage to recover themselves for the sake of their other children but you … you are different, you are the only son of the Tao family, your grandmother and mother are all relying on you but instead of taking care of them, all you do is make trouble for them every now and then, have you ever thought about what would have happened to your old grandmother and mother if I didn\'t come here on time and something happened to you?"

There was nothing Tao Guotin could say in response, the reason he was this rebellious was that even if his mother and grandmother were to get angry with him, they would never raise their hands on him even raising their voice was something they hardly did and whenever they scolded him, he would just fight back and stop eating his meals waiting for someone to come and coax him.

He thought that it was because his mother cared about the family business more than she cared about him but when he was on the verge of dying right now he realised that he was nothing but a big fool.  His mother genuinely cared for him and yet——

No one said anything in support of Tao Guotin, they were in trouble themselves, so how could they say anything in support of Tao Guotin?

" Ehuang!" They were still silently pondering over what Song Yan said when a familiar voice called out to them. Stunned, Fan Ehuang raised her head and looked at Li Na\'s smiling face, for a second she was shocked but a second later she came out of her daze and loudly shouted, "Na Na!"

" No, wait Ehuang!" Fan Ehuang only heard Mei Xing\'s scream as she ran towards Li Na and then she was wrapped in a dark mist.

" What the f*ck just happened?" Tao Guotin didn\'t even get a chance to blink and all of a sudden Fan Ehuang who was standing right in front of him vanished into thin air.

" What are we going to do?" Mei Xing hurriedly looked at Song Yan\'s calm face and asked in a hurry, she knew that Song Yan knew what was happening or else she wouldn\'t be this calm but she couldn\'t remain calm either!
