Tie Ruonan felt a little embarrassed listening to this. He glanced at Wen Xi's cold expression.
Helplessly comforting, "Wen Xi, don't listen to his nonsense. He must have been provoked today, so he said such things. You know, he loves you the most. I occasionally say a few words, how great it would be if you were my sister, and he will come to stab me. Don't take his words to heart. This guy is quite obsessed with your mother..."
"Yeah, I know, I'm fine!"
Wen Xi suppressed his thoughts, pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "Captain Tie, don't worry about me. Go back and report first. If you need me, contact me again!"
"Okay... Then I'll have someone take you back."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
When she returned to the Wen family villa, it was already dawn, and Wen Qingshan and Wen Jianghan were still waiting for her to come back.
Wen Xi told them everything about her meeting with Cheng Yan and Zhang Yayan, including the fact that Wen Chenxi left alone.
Wen Qingshan's eyes welled up with tears, and he spoke with trembling hands, "So my Yayan had actually experienced something like this. She was so close to losing her soul. I don't know why, but now I feel a little grateful to Cheng Yan. At least he didn't give up on Yayan completely, but was trying to find a solution."
Wen Jianghan's jaw was clenched, and a violent storm swept through his deep eyes.
He said coldly, "Dad, you have to understand. It was his indifferent observation that almost caused Mom to lose her soul. He also took away Mom's body for so many years without saying a word. No matter what, this guy is definitely not a good person."
"I know. I'm just glad that Yayan's soul is still here. This way, at least we have a chance to meet again."
Wen Qingshan sighed lightly, feeling that the heavy burden on his shoulders for so many years could finally be lifted off a little.
"As for the nonsense that Wen Chenxi said, Xiaoxi, you don't have to take it to heart. He has been working in the Special Management Bureau for many years, and he is under a lot of psychological pressure. His thoughts are more than those of ordinary people!"
Wen Jianghan raised his eyelids slightly and comforted her in a low voice.
"Don't you really think that it was my fate that harmed my mother?"
Wen Xi pondered for a moment, and finally asked. She had to admit that some of Cheng Yan's words did have an impact on her.
"Of course not. How could you have such an idea? If I had taken you to the mountain that day and encountered something like this, Dad would have risked his life to save you. You are our precious daughter. This kind of love is unquestionable. Blood is thicker than water, Xiaoxi."
Wen Qingshan looked at her with heartache and said in a firm tone.
Wen Xi lowered her head, her long curly eyelashes trembling slightly. After a while, she said "hmm".
"I understand, Dad. Please ask for leave from school for the next two days. I want to find out if there is any way to help Mom repair her soul."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will ask for leave for you."
"Um."
After Wen Xi went upstairs, Wen Qingshan sighed softly, his eyes full of sorrow.
"I'm very worried about Xiaoxi. She left home when she was young, and now she has to bear the absurd rumors that she killed her mother. Even though she doesn't say it, I can still feel how bothered she is by this matter. I don't know what's wrong with Chenxi, but she actually said such words. I don't have any wishes in this life. I just hope that while I'm still alive, I can see Yayan again, and that you two siblings get along well!"
Wen Qingshan's brow was filled with sorrow and sadness.
Wen Jianghan's face remained calm, but his tone was firm, "Dad, don't worry. As long as I'm here, the Wen family will unite and work together to bring Mom home."
"Okay, okay, Jiang Han, you've worked hard too."
Wen Qingshan suddenly looked much more mature. He stood up and patted Wen Jianghan on the shoulder. The atmosphere was terribly depressing.
In the following days, Wen Xi returned to the underworld and had been studying the documents the old man had left her, looking for ways to repair her soul.
"Miss, I seem to have some impression of this Cheng Yan you mentioned."
Meng Po sat seductively on her desk, one hand supporting her chin as she pondered, "That was many years ago. He did come to Naihe Bridge and drink my Meng Po soup, but his willpower was the strongest I've ever seen. He didn't even forget the past and still retained his memories. And then he ran away. Humph, after drinking my Meng Po soup, he was able to run away. He's really brave."
"Well, not only did he escape, he also caused unrest in the underworld, released many evil spirits who had committed serious crimes in the Eighteen Layers of Hell, and even went deeper into the forbidden area of the underworld, taking away some of the dark and foul air."
Wen Xi said lightly as he flipped through the files.
"Tsk, if this guy was devoted to the righteous path, with his abilities, he would definitely be able to seek an important position in the underworld. It's a pity... he's a love-brained person. Tsk, tsk, it's better to be like me, heartless and find a man to fall in love with occasionally to relieve the loneliness."
Meng Po said with some sigh.
"Have you found the other information I asked you to look up for me?"
"Of course I found out. Don't you think about who I am? I'm a senior Meng Po."
Meng Po blinked and smiled charmingly. "Originally, the spirit imprisoned deep within the underworld was a collection of all the resentful emotions of heaven and earth. Initially, its own intelligence was still naive. The then-current Emperor of Fengdu kept it in the underworld to guard the forbidden area. Later... the boundless resentment and the foul air of the forbidden area affected it, and it developed emotions and desires. It began to yearn for the mortal realm, and indeed, it did go there and commit evil for a while. Later, the Emperor of Fengdu captured it and cast it into the forbidden area."
"I only know that his power comes from the foul air and the resentment of the world, so his strength is unpredictable. If you face him, you must be careful. After all, you don't have the palm seal yet, and the power of the Fengdu Emperor cannot be fully exerted. I don't know if you will be injured."
Meng Po stopped joking and spoke to her seriously and solemnly.
"Okay, I know."
Wen Xi raised his eyes and smiled at her gently, "Thank you, A Yan."
Meng Po was stunned. It had been a long time since anyone called her by her nickname in the mortal world. Every ghost in the underworld respectfully called her Lady Meng Po. Even she herself was almost forgetting this name.
"Hey, since I helped you, we should start the team building in advance."
After a moment of silence, Meng Po suppressed the emotion in her eyes and approached her with a playful smile.
"Okay, no problem. This time I'm going to the mortal realm, you can come with me. I'll let the Yin Law Department take over your position temporarily!"
Wen Xi agreed very readily, but Meng Po was confused for a while. When she reacted, a bright smile appeared on her charming face, and she threw herself on Wen Xi and gave her two sweet kisses.
