บท 191: I Need to Get Stronger (1)

Jun Wu Xie returned to Lin Palace immediately and had a meeting with Jun Xian and Jun Qing in the study, to have them tell her all about the Soul Jade.

Jun Xian's expression grew grave as he heaved a sigh and said: "The Soul Jade has been buried together with your father."

Jun Wu Xie remained silent, as she observed Jun Xian's and Jun Qing's expressions. She gathered both father and son were reluctant to disturb her father's rest.

From Jun Xian, she learnt that people of this world would place a piece of jade into the mouth of the deceased to ward off evil, and believed that this would allow the soul to rest in peace. Having a piece of jade put in the mouths of deceased persons and buried was a practice Jun Wu Xie had heard of in her previous life as well. It was an ancient custom from a long time ago.
