Because of Su Chen's delay on the way, Lu Jingnian didn't drive the old Taoist priest back to the Taoist temple until dawn.
Together with the old Taoist priest, he reburied his uncle and set up a new memorial tablet. Only after everything was done did he leave the Taoist temple with Jiang Yue.
Before leaving, the old Taoist priest gave Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue two talismans.
"You help me bring my junior brother back, and in return, I will give you these two talismans. You must carry them with you at all times. With these two talismans, no one will be able to steal your luck anymore."
The old Taoist priest handed the talisman to Jiang Yue and then said, "Little girl, I've done everything I could to help you."
That's all I can do for now. From now on, my karma with you is considered settled, so please don't come looking for me again.
Of course, if you want to visit my junior brother, you can still come, but I won't help you with anything anymore.
The old Taoist priest disliked these mundane affairs, and it was already quite an achievement that he had been able to help so much.
"Thank you, Taoist priest."
Jiang Yue was very grateful for the old Taoist priest's help.
After leaving the Taoist temple with Lu Jingnian, Jiang Yue put the folded talisman into Lu Jingnian's pocket.
"When we get home, I'll make a small lucky bag, put the talisman inside, and hang it around your neck so it won't get lost easily."
Jiang Yue put the talisman away and said to Lu Jingnian with a smile.
"Then you have to make it yourself."
After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he reached out and hugged Jiang Yue, kissing her on the cheek.
"Yueyue, I'll probably be busy when I get back and won't have much time to spend with you."
And I might have to go on a business trip soon..."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Yue understood him. "I'm fine now. Didn't the Taoist priest say that I won't have any problems for the next five years? You can go and do your work."
I'm waiting for you to come home, but remember one thing: you must take good care of yourself and nothing can happen to you.
"Um."
Lu Jingnian nodded obediently, "I'll listen to my wife."
Having driven all night and spent the morning busy at the Taoist temple, after Lu Jingnian drove away from the temple, Jiang Yue told him to find a guesthouse to rest for the night and drive back the next day.
Lu Jingnian did not object.
After parking the car in the courtyard of the guesthouse, while Jiang Yue went to check into her room, Lu Jingnian went to the nearby phone booth to make a call.
"Has the person I asked you to find arrived in City A yet?"
When he asked that person for help, they agreed that the person he found would go to City A in three days.
Today is the third day.
"We'll be in City A in about half an hour. Should we have them come directly to you, or should you go to them?"
The other party asked.
“I’m not in City A right now,” Lu Jingnian said. “Could you please ask them to stay in City A for one more day? I’ll take my wife to see them after I get back tomorrow.”
"Okay, I'll talk to them."
The other party readily agreed to Lu Jingnian's request, after all, Lu Jingnian was the person they thought the most.
If Lu Jingnian can complete the mission and return alive this time, his future prospects will be limitless.
"By the way, how's your wife?"
"It's alright for now, but only temporarily. If possible, I would still like to ask you to help me invite a few more masters."
Jiang Yue's condition is not something that a single master can solve. He had spoken with the old Taoist priest, who said the same thing as Master Liaoqing: a master with profound skills can only temporarily suppress the problem of Jiang Yue's two souls clashing.
This is also why Lu Jingnian insisted on doing this mission even after Jiang Yue was alright.
He wanted to find more masters to see if there was a way to completely resolve the problem of Jiang Yue's two souls clashing.
However, his individual strength is limited, and only this person can help him do what he wants in a short period of time.
"That's good. You don't need to worry too much. Just focus on completing your mission. We'll take good care of your wife."
Receiving such a reply, Lu Jingnian felt much more at ease.
"thank you."
The phone booth was right outside the guesthouse, and Lu Jingnian could see inside just by tilting his head. Seeing that Jiang Yue had already checked in, he quickly hung up the phone.
Jiang Yue took the key from the receptionist and saw Lu Jingnian come over after finishing his phone call.
She smiled and said, "There's a restaurant in the guesthouse. Let's go to our room to put our things down first, then go get something to eat before we rest. I'm a little hungry."
"good."
Lu Jingnian nodded and took her hand as they walked upstairs.
This guesthouse is considered the best in the neighboring city.
Jiang Yue's room was on the third floor, and it was the best there, very clean.
After putting their things down, Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian went downstairs.
The restaurant is located on the second floor of the guesthouse, and the facilities inside are quite nice.
Jiang Yue didn't want to eat anything too greasy, so she ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish, as well as two bowls of noodles.
That's enough for her and Lu Jingnian to eat.
Lu Jingnian wasn't picky about food; he ate whatever Jiang Yue ordered.
Just as Jiang Yue finished ordering the food, she suddenly felt a heat below her and froze.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that her expression was off, Lu Jingnian quickly asked.
"I...I think I've started my period."
Jiang Yue explained in a low voice, her face so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
She had completely forgotten that she was supposed to get her period.
what to do?
Nothing was prepared.
Lu Jingnian was also stunned, but he quickly reacted and took off his coat and wrapped it around Jiang Yue's waist.
"Let me take you back to your room first."
"Then what about the dishes we ordered..."
Jiang Yue reminded her.
"I'll go and talk to them, and ask them to bring it to the room once it's ready."
Lu Jingnian helped Jiang Yue fasten her clothes, then turned around and told the restaurant staff her room number, asking them to prepare the food and deliver it to her room.
When Jiang Yue was ordering food, he observed the restaurant and noticed that they offered to deliver the food to the room.
The staff member readily agreed.
"Let's go back to our room first."
Lu Jingnian had heard from those in the camp who had wives that women experience severe abdominal pain during their periods, so he was very worried about Jiang Yue, fearing she might be uncomfortable.
"Does your stomach hurt? I'll go buy some brown sugar in a bit."
Lu Jingnian helped Jiang Yue upstairs, but because he was too worried about her, he didn't notice the person coming down from upstairs.
The other person was walking in a hurry with their suitcase and accidentally bumped into Jiang Yue when they met.
Before Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian could speak, the other party immediately began apologizing repeatedly to them: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"I'm so sorry, I overslept and was in a rush to catch my train, so I didn't notice the road and bumped into you. I'm really sorry."
The other party was a young woman in her early twenties, and her apology was very sincere.
Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Jiang Yue had no doubts and waved her hand with a smile: "It's alright, you should hurry up and catch your train."
"Thanks."
The other person thanked them gratefully, then quickly ran downstairs with their suitcase.
