"Yueyue, it's really Yueyue." Liao Qingshan quickly pushed his granddaughter away after making sure he wasn't dreaming, and looked at her carefully. "You've grown taller and fairer, but why are you still so thin? You must have suffered a lot in the countryside, right?"

His Yueyue must have had a very hard time alone this past year...

Li Xiyue smiled and shook her head, but for some reason, tears kept falling uncontrollably. "Grandpa, I haven't suffered. I'm living a good life. I, I just miss you so much..."

In fact, the original owner had a bad life. She was beaten to death by Li Muqing and her brother.

"Grandpa misses you too. Grandpa is concerned about your safety every day." Liao Qingshan's eyes also turned red.

The incident happened suddenly and he had no time to say anything more to his granddaughter. Moreover, given the situation at the time, even if he could say something, he didn't dare to, for he was afraid of implicating his granddaughter.

"I asked around for you, but no one knew where you were, Grandpa. I thought something had happened to you. I was so scared..."

Liao Qingshan hugged his granddaughter and coaxed her, "Don't be afraid, Grandpa is fine, isn't he?"

Chu Xun, who was watching this scene, felt very distressed. It turned out that Yueyue's strength was all a disguise. But it was true. She was a teenage girl who went to the countryside alone and had no one to rely on. She could only be strong on her own.

It is understandable that she is so vigilant. She almost died at the hands of her own siblings, and even her father did not help her. She was isolated and helpless. If she had not been on guard, how could she have survived until now?

"Grandpa, it's great that you are alive." Li Xiyue wiped away her tears and was sincerely happy.

She had previously guessed that the original owner's grandfather might be alive, and later got confirmation from Chu Xun, but she could only be completely relieved when she saw him alive with her own eyes.

"Yueyue, come on, let's talk inside." Liao Qingshan looked at his granddaughter's face, suddenly became serious, and pulled her into the house.

Chu Xun knew that they had a lot to talk about, so he went to see his father first.

"That's right, the missing soul has been completed." Liao Qingshan carefully looked at his granddaughter's face and finally confirmed it.

Li Xiyue was puzzled, "Grandpa, what did you say?"

What does it mean that the soul is incomplete?

"Yueyue, actually your grandpa's ancestors were not ordinary doctors, but witch doctors," said Liao Qingshan.

Li Xiyue was surprised, "Witch doctor?"

She had heard that witch doctors could predict people's fortunes and perform magic.

"The witch doctors are well versed in the I Ching and divination. Besides curing illnesses, they can also predict a person's fortune. Some powerful witch doctors even use sorcery to heal illnesses, not only curing illnesses with medicine but also bringing the dead back to life."

Could it be the long-lost art of incantation?

Liao Qingshan sighed and continued, "But there are also some witch doctors with ulterior motives who have used witchcraft to harm people. As a result, witch doctors were suppressed, and gradually, many traditions were lost. By the time of my generation, we only know a few basic witchcraft techniques. We can only read people's faces and tell fortunes."

So, since he knows face reading, can he also tell that she is not the original owner?

But he didn't say she wasn't the original owner, but rather that her soul was complete. Could it be...

"In addition to being witch doctors, our Liao family also has a unique ancestral skill, the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles. This acupuncture technique actually requires some skills to use, and there will be backlash after using it. Under normal circumstances, we will never use it lightly."

Li Xiyue knew this. When she taught herself the Thirteen Ghost Needles, she knew there would be backlash.

But in her opinion, there is no such thing as backlash. In fact, it is because of interfering with the cause and effect of others that she gets the bad consequences.

Everyone has his own cause and effect, and others cannot interfere at will. Once you interfere with the cause and effect of others, you will have to bear the bad consequences for them.

"I've used the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles twice in my life. The first time, I saved a high-ranking official for the sake of fame and fortune. However, I suffered a backlash and your three-year-old uncle died... From then on, I stopped using the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles and never dared to use them again."

It turns out that the original owner's uncle died young because the original owner's grandfather used the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles?

"It wasn't until more than 20 years ago that the military approached me and asked me to rescue the old commander Chu Xingbang. That was the second time I used the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles." Liao Qingshan said with a firm look in his eyes, "But that time, it wasn't for fame or profit, but only for the greater good of our nation."

Li Xiyue stood in awe.

The original owner's grandfather used the Thirteen Ghost Needles in order to save a great hero who was defending his country. Isn't this for the sake of national justice?

"I used the Thirteen Ghost Needles to break the Japanese evil magic. I knew I would suffer backlash, and this backlash would be on my child."

Li Xiyue was secretly shocked. So the original owner's mother's death was also the retribution for the original owner's grandfather interfering in the cause and effect of others?

Liao Qingshan's eyes were filled with sorrow. "In order to keep your mother alive and safe, I asked her to stay away from the medical field, become an ordinary person, and marry an ordinary man. Who knew that I still couldn't change her fate?"

"Luckily, she left you, Yueyue, for me." Liao Qingshan smiled at his granddaughter, but the smile dimmed as he thought of something. "...However, I could tell when you were born that your soul was incomplete. I don't know why you lost one soul and one spirit. I read your fortune and found out that you would die when you turned eighteen."

So, it was fate that the original owner suffered at the hands of Li Muqing and her brother?

"But after careful calculation, I found that there is a glimmer of hope in your death. As long as you survive this disaster, your life will be safe and smooth."

Liao Qingshan was delighted when he said this: "When I saw you just now, I found that your missing soul seemed to be complete. I thought I was seeing things, but when I went back to the house and took a closer look, it turned out to be true."

It turns out that the granddaughter's life was saved by a desperate attempt.

Li Xiyue completely understood that she was the soul and spirit that the original owner had lost. After her death in the end of the world, her soul and spirit returned to the original owner and completed her soul.

To put it bluntly, she and the original owner are the same person, but her soul is split into two and they live in two different time and space.
