Chapter 486 The Dust Settles
Master Liaoran had a very good impression of the two people's past, especially Ye Wanxi.
Prior to this, the group had only met once in Linjia Village, but in that simple encounter, Ye Wanxi gave him such a valuable item as the Soul-Summoning Banner without reservation.
And they are willing to seek justice for these unjustly deceased souls they never met, to wash away their resentment, and to send them into the cycle of reincarnation.
There are many capable people in this world, but what is even more valuable is a person who is capable yet still has a kind heart.
When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. Upholding the bottom line, protecting the weak, and never forgetting one's original aspirations are the true virtues.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, the three entered the temple.
Ye Wanxi and her companion came to send Zhen Huijuan and the others to reincarnation. The temple was solemn and dignified, with a Buddha statue guarding the main hall, making it impossible for ordinary ghosts and monsters to get close.
In other words, Zhen Huijuan and the others had gotten rid of their obsessions, and before they came, their little rabbit had caught them and sucked their breath, so there was no trace of resentment on their bodies, which is why they were able to enter the temple safely.
Master Liaoran led the two into the backyard under an old banyan tree, where he took out the soul-summoning banner that Ye Wanxi had given him earlier.
Before the cycle of reincarnation appeared, Ye Wanxi confirmed with the others one last time: "Are you all ready?"
The group exchanged glances and nodded in unison, their expressions a mixture of displeasure and agreement: "Yes."
The culprit who killed them is dead, the great revenge has been achieved, and those who covered up for the murderer have also received their due punishment. They have no regrets.
The departure was brief, yet it left one with a sense of loss.
Zhen Huijuan and Sister Fu were the last to leave. Before leaving, the two bowed deeply to Ye Wanxi to express their gratitude.
This bow was not only to thank Ye Wanxi for helping them avenge themselves, but also to express their gratitude for her help in settling their lingering concerns.
During this time, Zhen Huijuan stayed with her parents. After her death, her parents and her childhood sweetheart were forced to move away from that city and return to their hometown because they refused to accept Qi Yanjiao's father's compensation to settle the matter peacefully.
The couple only had one daughter, Zhen Huijuan. The loss of their daughter was a devastating blow.
Upon seeing her parents, who looked at least ten years older than she remembered, Zhen Huijuan nearly burst into tears, and her resentment towards Qi Yanjiao intensified.
However, what surprised her even more was that the warm and sunny boy she remembered had somehow shed his naivety and become mature and melancholic. He had even recognized her parents as his godparents and had been taking care of her, who had passed away, for the past few years.
At first, Zhen Huijuan only took it as his guilt for dragging her down. Later, she realized that besides feeling indebted, this big boy had actually liked her.
The phrase "girlfriend" he used back then was both a way to get rid of Qi Yanjiao's entanglement and a test of his youthful, innocent first love.
They could have been an enviable couple, but Qi Yanjiao's madness ultimately separated them by death, leaving each other with an indelible wound in their hearts.
That's why he has never given up his efforts to bring the murderer to justice over the years.
Unfortunately, but also thankfully, everything settled down before he was tormented day and night by guilt and hatred and did something crazy.
When Zhen Huijuan left, news of Qi Yanjiao's arrest, sentencing, and subsequent death in prison finally reached that remote little county.
As Zhen Huijuan watched her parents weep bitterly, although she was saddened, a light returned to her previously lifeless eyes.
The boy looked up at the sky, seemingly trying to see the person he wanted to see, or perhaps simply trying to keep the tears in his eyes from falling.
Zhen Huijuan felt sad watching from the side and couldn't help but lean over and kiss him.
Even if you can't touch the other person, some feelings are still beyond your control.
"Forget me."
These were the last words Zhen Huijuan said to him, and also her final wish for him.
Fate sometimes plays cruel jokes, where two people who are clearly in love are destined to be apart.
Given this, she only hopes that in the near future he can meet a girl who loves him and whom he also likes, forget her, start over, and live a good life.
Sister Fu is the same. She has no boyfriend, nor any close female friends. The only person she can't let go of is her younger brother, with whom she has depended on each other since childhood.
Sister Fu was born into a particularly distressing family. Her parents didn't discriminate against girls because they treated boys and girls the same.
For them, children are nothing more than tools to ensure a worry-free retirement.
It was because of these parents that the two siblings worked so hard, supporting each other to climb the social ladder, all so that one day they would have the means to escape this family and break free from their control.
Sister Fu almost succeeded, but died on the eve of her success.
After Sister Fu died, her parents' first thought was not to seek justice for her death, but to think that their daughter was dead and what benefit she could gain from losing her life.
As a result, the two caused several disturbances at the company, forcing the company to give them a large sum of money to keep quiet.
Because of this incident, the younger brother became completely disillusioned with his parents and moved out not long after, but he still couldn't escape their entanglement.
When Sister Fu went to visit her younger brother, she discovered that he was already married and his wife was heavily pregnant and about to give birth. However, the young couple was facing a huge crisis in their livelihood.
The reason was that Fu's parents once again caused a scene at his younger brother's workplace to demand money, resulting in his brother being fired.
Seeing her sister-in-law cradling her pregnant belly and silently weeping by the bedside, while her brother curled up in a ball with his hands covering his head, breaking down and crying like a child, Sister Fu was so angry that she almost turned into a villain on the spot.
Fortunately, with Ye Wanxi's secret help, Sister Fu's brother was finally able to completely cut off contact with his parents and only needed to pay a monthly allowance.
Although it's still a burden, it's much better than the previous bottomless pit of bloodsucking; at least it gives people hope.
When Sister Fu left, her brother's wife had just given birth to a girl. Her brother stood outside the delivery room, holding his newborn daughter, crying and laughing, but calling out Sister Fu's name.
Sister Fu was both surprised and gratified to see this.
It turns out that there is still someone in this world who has never forgotten her and has always remembered her, even though she is no longer alive.
When Ye Wanxi helped these people, she had already made it clear beforehand that after the matter was completed, she would need their willpower to strengthen Fengtianyu's soul.
The power of aspiration requires the giver to be purely grateful. The more gratitude there is, the stronger the power of aspiration, which manifests as a larger and brighter light falling upon them.
As it turned out, these people were indeed grateful to Ye Wanxi, but the amount of their blessings varied.
The two largest and brightest orbs were undoubtedly given by Sister Fu and Zhen Huijuan, who were the last to leave. As soon as the power of their wishes floated out, it was absorbed into Feng Tianyu's body.
Ye Wanxi watched nervously from the side, and as soon as the light went out, she couldn't help but ask, "How was it? How did it feel?"
