Before she could finish speaking, Qin Luo was already filled with mixed emotions.
"Thank you for informing me, Aunt. So, are you going to take Father back to the Underworld for trial next? Zhao'er is no longer a vengeful spirit, so could you leave her in the human world?"
After saying that, Meng Po refused decisively.
"I'm afraid not. If you hadn't already gone through countless reincarnations, you wouldn't have been able to escape this punishment either, so please don't make things difficult for your aunt, okay?"
Qin Luo wanted to say something more, but Wu Hua stopped her.
"Sister Zhao'er will be alright, you can trust me."
His resolute expression reassured Qin Luo, so she stopped bothering Meng Po and waved goodbye.
"Then I won't delay your business any longer, but whatever the outcome, I hope the ghost can tell me something."
"Okay, you also need to take care of yourself, and remember to come visit me when you have free time."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely go."
After she finished speaking, the Three Ministers and the ghost soldiers vanished from the spot.
Qin Luo calmed herself down, then looked around at the empty space before asking, "Where is this?"
Wu Hua raised her hand and pointed into the distance.
"Outside Pingru City, I wonder if Sister Wang and her husband are home at the moment."
"Let's go, we'll find out if we go and take a look."
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he released the donkey-hide gelatin, and the two of them drove the donkey cart straight towards the direction of Wangjia in Xiushan.
Completely forgetting that Qi Guan had been blown away by the gale and had vanished without a trace.
"Luo Luo, why don't you ask me how I know Ming Zhao will be alright?"
"Because you will definitely tell me, so there's no need to rush."
Wu Hua smiled upon hearing this.
"You know me best. Based on my guess, not only will Ming Zhao be fine, but he will also take over Ming Yi's previous position."
"real?"
"It's pretty much true. You've forgotten Meng Po's reaction when you asked if Ming Zhao could stay in the human world."
Qin Luo thought back for a moment but didn't notice anything different.
"The rejection was swift and reasonable; I don't see anything wrong with it."
After hearing this, Wu Hua wore a smug expression.
"The problem lies in the word 'rapid'."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"You're so stupid, do you even need to ask?"
"Oh, just tell me, my dear son."
Wu Hua then told her all her guesses.
"I think that for thousands of years after Mingyi left, the River of Oblivion should have been managed by Meng Po."
"Probably, but what does this have to do with Zhao'er?"
"The relationship is extremely important."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Think about it, Meng Po has to brew soup for the ghosts crossing the Bridge of Helplessness, and she also has to resolve the knots in the River of Oblivion. She goes from working at fixed times to working overtime every night. If you were in her shoes, would you be happy?"
After listening, Qin Luo shook his head vigorously.
"No way, nobody wants to work overtime, nobody wants to."
"That's right, so Ming Zhao will definitely be fine. Meng Po will also do her best to protect her so that she can have some leisure time."
Hearing this, Qin Luo felt both happy and sad.
"Zhao'er, such a little girl who longed for freedom, will be trapped in the River of Oblivion for all eternity. Isn't that a kind of punishment?"
Recalling what Ming Zhao had said in the past, Wu Hua remembered that her greatest wish was to travel the world with Qin Luo.
They were supposed to go to Weisi County to see the relatives Qin Luo always talked about, but in the end, they didn't get to do so.
"Compared to Ming Yi, this is already the lightest punishment."
Mentioning Ming Yi, Qin Luo felt another pang of heartache, but she could still clearly distinguish right from wrong.
“He committed a serious crime and deserves any punishment. My only concern is whether the medicine we gave him before is still effective.”
"Of course there is. That medicine targets the soul, so whether you have a heart or not doesn't affect its effectiveness."
"That's good. With a strong soul, even without a heart, one won't completely lose their mind."
"Well, so let's just wait and see."
"Okay, right, we're all out now. Where are the others from the small world? Where did they go?"
"I don't know. They might have been sent to another place by Mingyi. They've all become mortals now and won't cause much harm to the human world, so don't worry!"
"Yes, yes, we have to thank those ghost soldiers for that; they worked so fast and efficiently."
The two chatted back and forth, completely unaware that the Heavenly Dao was on the verge of madness.
He suddenly sensed a surge in the human population, and after a quick calculation, he angrily cursed at the void.
"Mingyi, you'd better never let me see you again..."
When Qin Luo and Wu Hua arrived at the gate of Xiushan Wangjia's house, they saw that the gate was wide open and that Ah Shui was sewing something inside.
Wu Hua jumped off the donkey cart and rushed inside, shouting, "Brother-in-law, I'm back, brother-in-law!"
Seeing this, Qin Luo immediately rushed inside with the donkey-hide gelatin.
"Son, slow down, you might fall."
When Ah Shui heard Wu Hua's voice, he thought he was hallucinating.
Then, upon hearing Qin Luo's voice, he stood up and looked towards the door.
Once he confirmed that the two of them had indeed returned, he hurriedly caught Wu Hua, who was running towards him.
"Little one, is that really you? You're back?"
"Yes, I'm back. Brother-in-law, I'm hungry. I want to eat the noodles you make."
Upon hearing this, Ah Shui had no reason to object.
"Okay, okay, brother-in-law will go and make it for you right away."
Then, she looked at Qin Luo, who was tying up the donkey cart, and asked, "What would Luo Luo like to eat?"
"I also want to eat the noodles my brother-in-law makes."
"No problem, I'll make extra, enough for you two to eat your fill."
