Ming Li nodded, "I saw."
Er Yazi turned to look at her familiar home behind her. After a moment of silence, she said, "Miss Su, can you do me a favor?"
Ming Li said, "Speak."
Er Yazi lowered her head with a look of loss, "I... I..."
Seeing Er Yazi stammering without uttering a complete sentence, Ming Li frowned. With a wave of her hand, the next second, Er Yazi's soul disappeared from its original spot and reappeared in the main hall of her home.
Feeling a blur before her eyes, Er Yazi had just come to her senses when she saw the people she missed dearly.
Er Yazi's parents also saw her suddenly appear. Upon seeing her semi-transparent soul three feet off the ground, her mother's tears immediately fell.
"Er Yazi..."
"Mother, you..."
Her mother, crying, was about to rush forward to embrace Er Yazi, but her arms passed through. Seeing this, Er Yazi's mother cried even louder, "Daughter! It's my fault! I knew long ago that it wasn't you in that body, but I didn't expect you to become a lonely wandering soul!"
Hearing this, Er Yazi's face filled with disappointment, "Mother..."
Her mother wiped the tears from her face and continued, "Mother also found a Celestial Master, but those Celestial Masters all said that the water ghost in your body was powerful and they couldn't help. It's my fault!"
Er Yazi smiled and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her mother's face, but she forgot that she was now just a wandering spirit. So, her hand passed through empty. Seeing this, Er Yazi stiffened, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Father, Mother, thank you for raising me." As she spoke, Er Yazi's gaze fell upon the young boy beside them, "Brother, I'll leave Father and Mother in your care from now on..."
As she said this, her soul became fainter and fainter until it finally disappeared from its original spot.
Seeing this, the family cried even louder.
Ming Li, standing on the tree, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is the female lead?"
The system that returned to its space glanced at the system display screen and said, "Earlier, the male lead gave her a bracelet, and she has now left the mortal world with that bracelet. It seems she's going to find the male lead."
Looking for the male lead?
Ming Li frowned. Hadn't she just taken care of the male lead?
As if knowing what Ming Li was thinking, the system quickly said, "Um... Host, actually, last time, two soul fragments of the male lead secretly escaped back to the demon realm." So, the male lead was still alive...
Ming Li, "..."
After a long silence, Ming Li raised her hand and grabbed at the void. The next second, Er Yazi's dissipated soul reassembled. Seeing this, Ming Li paused for a moment, then took Er Yazi to the underworld for reincarnation.
Er Yazi, completely bewildered, "???"
-------------------------------------
The next day, under Ming Li's guidance, Su Ran left Dongjia Village and headed directly to the capital.
On the way, Su Ran curiously asked, "Sister, why are we going to the capital now?"
Ming Li replied, "The scholars in the capital are more knowledgeable, which will benefit you."
Hearing this, Su Ran fell silent.
After two days of traveling by carriage, Ming Li frowned, finding the pace too slow. Then... she unceremoniously threw Su Ran onto a silver sword, and the two of them directly flew towards the capital.
Two hours later, the two successfully arrived at the capital.
Su Ran, "..."
Upon arriving at the capital, guided by the system, Ming Li pulled a bewildered Su Ran towards a large mansion.
"Sister, why are we here?" Su Ran asked, her eyes widening as she looked at the three large characters "Guoshi Mansion" written in a vigorous calligraphy on the plaque above.
Ming Li said, "To help you find a master." The system had just told her that the most powerful person in the mortal realm was this Guoshi.
With that thought, Ming Li pulled Su Ran and their figures flickered, disappearing from their original spot.
At this moment, in the Guoshi Mansion.
A man with a slender build, dressed in a purple robe, was leisurely brewing tea.
Suddenly, he sensed something. The corner of his mouth, hidden beneath his white mask, hooked. He said in a faint voice, "Since you're here, why not show yourselves? Would you like some tea?"
Ming Li, hidden in the dark, raised an eyebrow. The next second, she directly brought Su Ran and appeared before the man brewing tea.
Seeing this, the man looked up. His pupils contracted, and he instinctively stood up from his seat, "You..."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. What was this guy's sudden outburst?
Looking at the two children before him, the man regained his composure and raised his eyebrows, asking, "What business do you have with me?"
Ming Li said, "I heard you are taking disciples."
The man was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who told you that?"
The system told me.
Ming Li pushed Su Ran forward and said, "If you take my brother, I can agree to any condition."
Hearing this, the man's eyes beneath his mask became filled with interest. "Any condition?"
Seeing the young girl in front of him nod, the man narrowed his eyes and blurted out, "I heard there's an immortal island in the East Sea called Penglai, and on the island, there is a..."
*Crash—*
Before the man could finish speaking, a large pile of glowing herbs suddenly appeared before him.
The man, "?!?"
Meeting the man's shocked gaze, Ming Li calmly pointed to the herbs on the ground and said, "Most of the herbs on that island are here."
The man, disregarding his composure, gulped, his eyes filled with disbelief. He quickly ran to his study and brought out a large pile of ancient books, flipping through them and comparing.
After an unknown amount of time, the man finally looked up. He looked at the girl not far away, his voice trembling, "You..."
