The Taoist priest, who had run a long way, sat down, panting. Luckily he was fast, otherwise that little girl would have definitely recognized him.
At this moment, the Taoist priest removed his disguise. Who else could he be but the old man who was with Granny Xue back then?
As for why he came, it all started on that day. He and Granny Xue saw Sheng Ying and Rong Mo discussing whether they could come back through the Water Cloud Mirror, and they even talked about whether they should have a child in another time and space.
Granny Xue watched this scene with a serious expression, then asked the old man, "Calculate whether Mingying and Rongmo should have had a child in their timeline?"
The old man calculated with his fingers: "They don't have one, but the little girl and Rong Qi should have another child."
Granny Xue glanced at him: "The current Mingying and Rongmo are Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi. What are you thinking? If they have children in that time and space, how do you plan to bring them back? Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi have bodies in this time and space, what will happen to their children?"
The old man fell silent. He had indeed wanted the little girl to complete the karmic cycle of her past life, but he hadn't considered what would happen if she had a child. The main reason was that in her past life, as an assassin, her karma prevented her from having children. Now, reborn in Ming Ying's body, he hadn't thought that far ahead.
"If all else fails, we'll have to bring the person and their soul back together in the future." This person was naturally referring to the possibility that Mingying and Rongmo's child would have been born in that timeline.
Granny Xue stopped what she was doing: "You should think this through. Bringing people here will consume tens of thousands of years of your cultivation."
The old man didn't seem to care: "Ten thousand years is ten thousand years. I've lived so long that I can't even remember how many years I've lived. Who told this little girl to call me master back then? Besides, who knows what the future holds? Furthermore, Mingying and Rongmo's deaths are just karma. By taking the little girl and Rong Qi there, it's as if they're both consuming the little girl's remaining lifespan from her previous life. They should be able to return soon."
The little girl should have lived to seventy in her past life, but because she saved someone, she only lived to thirty. If those forty years were divided equally between Mingying and Rongmo, each would get twenty years. Five years have already passed; how far is she from returning? As for the children's destiny, let them wait a little longer.
Granny Xue sighed upon hearing the old man's words: "Just think it through, but I think you'd better go. Otherwise, they won't know anything about what to do or how to do it in the future. If they do something contrary to what you said, then all your efforts will be in vain. Oh, and this compass can hold both the body and the soul at the same time. It should be able to help you withstand half of your cultivation. That's all I can do for you."
The old man beamed with joy after taking the compass: "As expected, Granny Xue is still the best to me, always thinking of me. I will stay with you until the end of time."
Old Lady Xue angrily kicked him, saying, "Get out of here and don't delay my work."
The old man took the compass, turned and left, leaving behind the words: "I will be back soon."
Watching his disappearing figure, Granny Xue patted Little Xue at her feet: "Little Xue, you know, that old rascal, how could he be so indecent? He's such a grown man, yet he still talks about accompanying people. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't care whether he lives or dies."
Xiaoxue rested her head on Grandma Xue's lap, whimpering to express her dissatisfaction.
Grandma Xue stroked its head: "Okay, besides that stinky old man, Little Xue is here with me too."
But once that little girl comes back, you'll have to leave, and you'll have to leave with that old geezer.
Xiaoxue finally calmed down, looking in the direction the old man had left. "Hmph, you stinky old man."
But it also missed its master, wondering if he was doing well over there. Although it couldn't speak, it understood everything. Why didn't the old man take it with him?
Grandma Xue seemed to know what it was thinking and quickly comforted it: "Little Xue, you are not a species from that time and space, so you can't go. All of your master's pets are sealed in the space. You are no better than them. At least for now, you are free, right?"
Xiaoxue thought about it and realized that her master was indeed the best to her, so she quickly nodded her wolf head.
Grandma Xue patted it: "Alright, I'm going to cook now. How about I stew some meat for Little Snow?"
Awooooo, I want to go too!
"Alright, you come along. Oh, I still have to make snow lotus porridge for that old geezer."
"Awooo! Everyone's gone, I won't cook it for him."
"We can't not cook it for him. He's so old, it's not good for him to go hungry. Let's be considerate of his age and have some pity on him."
Okay, okay, Grandma, hurry up and cook the meat, I'm starving!
"Okay, I'll be right there."
When the old man returned, he handed the bag of gold to Granny Xue. The snow lotus porridge had just been cooked, and the stewed meat was already done, so the man and the wolf began fighting over the food. Granny Xue didn't care at all; she just wanted to be full. She was impartial; whoever grabbed the food got it.
