Su Tao took a mouthful of high-degree alcohol and sprayed it out towards the candle. The alcohol quickly caught on fire as it blazed, causing the surrounding people to exclaim out.

　　Although Su Tao did not put on a Taoist robe, he still gave off an unearthly vibe from his long robes as he brandished the wooden sword. His moves were perfect, looking like a Daoist priest from Mt. Mao.

　　Ni Jingqiu was enjoying his performance while recalling a martial arts novel she read when she was young, hiding under the quilt and imagining herself to be the female protagonist. After all, it's not common to see someone dressing up in Su Tao's style, and he seemed like a young martial artist from those novels.

　　Su Tao wasn't aimlessly brandis.h.i.+ng the sword, he was using the Jiang Clan's Swordplay taught to him by his master, Jiang Qinghan.

　　The Jiang Clan's Swordplay was not only powerful in actual combat, but also extremely graceful to watch.

　　Occasionally, he would leap into the air and would brandish swings with his wrist. Even if everyone here were amateurs, they couldn't help exclaiming in their hearts from Su Tao's impressive performance.

　　After scattering a handful of rice in the sky, Su Tao stabbed a yellow talisman and swirled it around the air a few rounds before he jabbed it at the candle.

　　The yellow talisman swiftly caught on fire, which blazed into a lump of eye-catching flames that left the spectators in exclamation.

　　After the talisman was burnt, Su Tao placed it in a bowl of water with a smooth movement.

　　Standing to the side, Ni Jingqiu felt both teased and annoyed when she looked at Su Tao's earnest performance. Turning her head over to w.a.n.g Qiaozhen, she saw her mother holding onto her Buddhist bead as she chanted Buddhism sutra.

　　A Daoist ritual was performed while the host chanted Buddhism sutra. It's practically out of place.

　　But despite how the scene looked out of place, both Su Tao and her mother were extremely focused.

　　She was well-aware of what's going on, but there was nothing she could do due to her trust in Su Tao's medical skills. She knew that there must be a reason for Su Tao to act in this manner.

　　At the same time, she had also guessed the reason why her mother would cooperate with this act.

　　Finally, Su Tao's performance came to an end and he drew a pattern with the wooden sword before placing the sword aside and raised the bowl of water. "Please, drink the holy water."

　　w.a.n.g Qiaozhen only briefly hesitated before she chucked down the 'holy water' and walked up the altar. Looking at her mother's memorial tablet placed at the center, she started to cry her heart out.

　　In everyone's eyes, w.a.n.g Qiaozhen was a mature and calm mistress who would wear a smile on her face at all times. No one has ever seen her losing control of her emotions in this manner.

　　Initially, w.a.n.g Qiaozhen only wanted to go with the act. However, she never expected that she would lose control of her emotions and cry the grievance that was in her heart out.

　　Her life had been bitter these years due to her sister-in-law's insults, which she endured. Before she married Ni Buwei back then, her w.a.n.g Family was also a prominent family, so her marriage with Ni Buwei couldn't be considered as social-climbing. It was so much so that Ni Buwei's operation these years was supported by the w.a.n.g Family's political and commercial powers.

　　However, she had been silently enduring her sister-in-law. But facing her mother's memorial tablet, she finally lost control of her emotions and cried her heart out.

　　No one understood her; only her mother, who had pa.s.sed away, knew how many grievances she suffered.
