An offering table was set up under the tree, with offerings and an incense burner on it. There was still a half-burnt incense stick in the burner. The table was clean and tidy, and the offerings were fresh and undamaged, indicating that someone was taking care of it.

Ye Shuang raised an eyebrow. She hadn't paid much attention to what was happening in the village for just one day, and these mortals had already put together this whole offering ceremony for her?

Li and Huang Juan were already kneeling on the prayer mats under the incense table. Ye Shuang, being a child, was placed in the children's gathering area not far away. These children had been instructed not to cause trouble there, so even if they were curious, they could only watch from afar.

"I haven't left the house for a few days, how come there's this place?" Ye Shuang asked her friend.

Ye Shuang's authority was still intact, so the group of children started chattering away, each saying a sentence.

After listening for a long time, Ye Shuang finally understood that it was that old Taoist priest again. He had chosen a place specifically to worship her, so that these mortals who had received her kindness would have a place to express their gratitude.

As for why this place was chosen, it must have been because some clues were discovered. Since Ye Shuang wanted to keep a low profile, it was better to completely hand this place over to all mortals for safekeeping. That way, if anyone discovers anything in the future, it will be regarded as a gift from the immortals and they won't mess with it.

While they were still having a lively discussion, Huang Juan and Li Shi had already started begging, still about Huang Juan's two daughters.

Ye Shuang scratched her head. Ah, although the matter has been resolved, it will probably take another day or two for those two children to come back.

The food Huang Juan brought out smelled delicious, and it was clear that she had put a lot of effort into making it. However, since it was being offered up in such a prominent place, she was destined never to be able to eat it.

After the two kowtowed several times, Li got up, but Huang Juan remained kneeling, seemingly trying to move the immortal with her sincerity.

Ye Shuang shook her head. If she really wanted to decide whether or not to take action based on this method, even if Huang Juan broke her knees, it wouldn't make a difference.

However, her sincerity seemed to have moved the heavens. In the afternoon, Li Wenyi returned in his official robes with a number of yamen runners, each carrying a child in their arms.

"Mother, Shuang'er, I'm back." Li Wenyi's first stop was to go home and say hello, then he picked up Ye Shuang and walked towards the center of the village.

Ye Shuang pouted. Why did she have to be dragged into this again? She didn't want to get involved in all this messy stuff.

Unfortunately, Li Wenyi wouldn't let go of this opportunity to spend more time with Ye Shuang. He tried every means to make her laugh along the way: "Shuang'er, don't you miss your brother? Your brother missed you so much. Look how majestic your brother is today! Do you want to come with your brother to the county government office later?"

Ye Shuang glanced at Li Wenyi a few times, then leaned weakly on his shoulder. Looking at the yamen runners behind him, she rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, Father said the other day that if you lure me to the county yamen again, he'll break your legs and force you to resign."

Li Wenyi choked, and then he heard the yamen runners behind him laughing. He said in annoyance, "Father only knows how to spoil you. You're such an ingrate. It's obvious you don't miss your brother at all."

Ye Shuang snorted, her little voice full of arrogance: "Since brother thinks I'm an ingrate, why did you make me go to the county government? Why don't you just play by yourself? Why drag me along?"
