This bow, along with these words, was extremely sincere.
At first, Hu Ma had thought Granny left this as a test, to be claimed once he had the ability to resolve the issues in Juehu Village.
But later he realized that Granny never intended to test him. Regardless of his identity, he was a descendant of the Hu Family. No matter his abilities, he was still the only living heir of Zhensui Mansion; inheriting the family estate didn't require a trial.
Since this was the case, there must have been a compelling reason for her to place the Hu Family's token here. The resentful souls and fierce ghosts in Juehu Village, then, were effectively acting as guardians of the token for the Hu Family.
Even if they were not consciously aware of their role, and it wasn't intentional on their part, as a descendant of the Hu Family, he had to show his gratitude.
