Chapter 180 - 115: Ruan Lang Lost (1)
Ge Lan tugged at Ran Yan’s sleeve and grasped her wrist, writing in her palm, "The melody is ’The Bewitched Scholar’."
’The Bewitched Scholar’ is a song from the music academy, generally about two men who mistakenly enter a paradise and, captivated by its beauty, forget to return. This was the information Ran Yan had obtained from the original host’s memories; she knew no more details than that.
However, there was no rush for this. Since Ge Lan knew the name of the song, she likely knew the details as well. They could have her write it down once they returned.
"Shall we check it tomorrow? I need to burn incense to inform my mother and ask for her forgiveness first," Huan Kong said urgently.
Traditionally, one must not casually disturb human remains, so Huan Kong’s statement wasn’t unusual. However, Ran Yan felt slightly dissatisfied. There must be something amiss beneath the grave; it wasn’t possible for someone buried six or seven years to still emit such a scent.
After thinking it over, since there was such a strong scent of blood, it likely couldn’t be moved overnight. She calmed the eagerness in her heart and stood up, saying, "Then let’s do it tomorrow."
No sooner had she spoken than Ge Lan urgently tugged at Ran Yan’s sleeve, making a gesture to look around.
