As he spoke, his gaze dimmed: "Actually, I... I have thought about telling you, but I'm still afraid."
"Afraid of what?"
"Do you remember that time we went to Ban Yan Temple to send off the spirits, and on our way up the mountain, we met Jiang Yu, who told the story about borrowing a corpse for reincarnation?"
"Of course, I remember."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye also recalled, especially the end of that story, where the snake catcher who reincarnated into the young miss's body was nailed into the coffin and suffocated to death by her family because he was deemed a demon.
He said, "So, you didn't tell because—"
Shang Ruyi looked down sadly and said, "I'm afraid you'll think it's bad luck and detest such supernatural things..."
Yu Wenye remained silent.
