Wanfo Temple.

After carrying Guilai in his arms, Old Man Chen rushed in and headed straight for the Buddhist hall.

He placed Xiao Guilai on the prayer mat under the Buddha statue, then took out a red dagger and cut his palm. Blood gushed out and fell to the ground, where it seemed to come alive, constantly moving and surrounding the prayer mat and Xiao Guilai.

Then Old Man Chen stuck a few more talismans on Gui Lai's body.

At this moment, the abbot of the temple came over, saw what Old Man Chen was doing, and immediately knelt down next to the Buddha statue and began to chant sutras.

As the chanting began, the blood began to change continuously, eventually forming a complex array. Then, a flash of red light entered Xiao Guilai's brow.

Old Chen knelt on the prayer mat, muttering something under his breath, and didn't get up for a long time...

Lu Erbo and the others who came with them did not dare to go in and disturb them, and stayed outside the Buddhist hall with the monks in the temple.

I didn't sleep a wink all night.

The next morning, as the sun rose in the eastern sky, a baby's cry was heard from the Buddhist hall.

Old Man Chen and the abbot opened their eyes, looked at Xiao Guilai on the prayer mat, and breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a gratified smile.

"It's done."

When Old Chen spoke, his hoarse voice sounded more than ten years older than before.

The abbot nodded, "As expected of a spirit child, it knows how to save itself right after birth. This child's future is immeasurable. Congratulations, old friend, after waiting for so many years, you have finally found a satisfactory successor."

Old Chen nodded, tears welling in his eyes, his voice trembling with emotion, "Yes, we've finally waited for this."

Old Chen picked up the child, Xiao Guilai, and lovingly stroked his face, smiling happily.

When Uncle Lu and the others saw Old Man Chen carrying a child out of the Buddhist hall, they were all stunned in shock.

"Master, your...your hair..."

In just one night, the master's hair turned completely white.

"I'm already quite old, and my hair has long turned white."

Old Chen didn't take his own changes to heart; nothing was more important than his precious grand-disciple right now.

“The child is fine now, let’s go back to the hospital. He’ll be hungry when he wakes up.”

Old Chen carried Guilai into the car and headed to the hospital.

Lu Yan, who hadn't had a chance to speak until now, finally had the opportunity to ask Old Man Chen after getting into the car, "Master, now that my nephew is alright, will my sister-in-law be alright soon too?"

Mentioning Jiang Yue, Old Man Chen's face showed a look of heartache. "I will do my best to wake Yueyue up as soon as possible."

...

At the hospital.

Mrs. Lu watched as her father, who had just returned home after sending the elderly relatives back, took advantage of the time while Ping An was asleep and pulled him into the stairwell.

"I'm asking you, can you find a way to contact Jing Nian?"

"Madam Lu asked in a low voice."

She knew she shouldn't ask that, but just thinking about Jiang Yue lying in the hospital bed, not knowing when she would wake up, made Madam Lu want Lu Jingnian to come back as soon as possible.

"What kind of question is that? Jing Nian went on a mission, and what he did was classified. How could I possibly contact him?"

Mr. Lu spoke helplessly.

Doesn't he want to contact his son?

Don't you want to know how your son is doing now?

But the rules cannot be broken; he cannot do that.

"Why can't you?" Madam Lu cried as she spoke. "Look at how much Yueyue has done for him. To ensure the safe delivery of the child, Yueyue has been lying in the hospital bed, not knowing how long it will take for her to wake up."

This is the time when she needs Jing Nian the most, but Jing Nian is not here…

"Qintong, I know you feel sorry for Yueyue, and I feel sorry for Yueyue too."

If I could, I would also like to bring Jing Nian back, but Jing Nian is a soldier, and he must obey orders.

Mr. Lu hugged Mrs. Lu with heartache, "I believe that if Yueyue were awake, she would definitely understand Jingnian."

“But I really feel sorry for Yueyue.” Madam Lu cried even harder. “I don’t care. When Jing Nian comes back this time, I will make him retire from the army.”

He wanted him to stay with Yueyue from now on; he couldn't let her worry about him like this anymore.

Mr. Lu nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to him about this."

Even if Madam Lu didn't mention Lu Jingnian's discharge from the army, he would probably choose to do so after returning from this mission. He has suffered many injuries over the years, and his body is no longer suitable for staying in the military.

After comforting Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu helped her out of the stairwell, when they saw Old Man Chen returning with the child in his arms.

"Master, you..."

Upon seeing Old Man Chen's full head of white hair, Mr. Lu stared in shock.

"It's alright."

Old Chen waved his hand dismissively, then handed the little boy in his arms to Lu's father.

"The baby will probably be hungry when she wakes up soon, so I'll leave the feeding to you. I'll go check on Yueyue."

Mrs. Lu quickly took the child and bowed gratefully to Old Man Chen, saying, "Thank you, Master."

“Madam Lu, there’s no need to be so polite. I am Yueyue’s master, and this is what I should do.”

After finishing speaking, Old Chen turned and walked towards Jiang Yue's ward.

Jiang Yue is currently unconscious and in the intensive care unit; she has not been returned to a regular ward.

Since it wasn't visiting hours, Old Man Chen could only peek at Jiang Yue through the glass of the ward. After confirming with the doctor that Jiang Yue's condition was relatively stable, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

...

border.

Lu Jingnian stared uneasily at the great river before him. The day before yesterday, he had been sleeping when a sudden, sharp pain in his stomach woke him up.
