Han Lingxi recovered after a few days of rest. Although being whipped by the Thirteen-Section Snake Bone Whip was indeed very painful, Han Lingxi's perfect stamina was not to be underestimated, and she was lively and energetic again after a few days.
During her convalescence, Han Qianmu had a very serious conversation with Han Lingxi. Han Qianmu earnestly warned Han Lingxi not to meddle in mortal affairs anymore. No matter what relationship she had with people in the mortal world in the past, it was all in the past now. She had to remember her identity.
Han Lingxi gave a very serious answer.
“Brother, I’m not dwelling on the past. I only started liking Luo Shaoxuan after I became a ghost. That happened after I became a ghost.”
Han Qianmu was so angry that he almost beat her up, but in the end he didn't, because Han Lingxi pretended to be very weak and kept saying that her wound hurt. Han Qianmu raising his hand was just to scare Han Lingxi.
The ideological education ended there, but Han Qianmu was still worried about Han Lingxi going to the human world, fearing that she would cause trouble again, so he kept her from leaving the house under the pretext of recuperating from her injuries.
Han Lingxi naturally wouldn't stay obediently at home, after all, she still had a mission to complete. So, while Han Qianmu was on duty, Han Lingxi secretly slipped out and mingled with the Netherworld Envoy's team, running off to the human world. Although Han Lingxi kept her head down, she felt that Po Yi must have noticed her, but she didn't know why she didn't expose her.
Han Lingxi tried to minimize her presence and leave safely, but unexpectedly, Po Yi came close to her and whispered in her ear.
"I can let you stay in the human world forever, but in return, you have to do something for me."
"What's up?"
Han Lingxi asked reflexively.
You'll find out later.
Po Yi didn't answer Han Lingxi's question and went straight back to the Underworld. When Han Lingxi looked back, Po Yi was already gone.
Han Lingxi was speechless. She hadn't even agreed yet, and Po Yi was being far too domineering.
While Han Lingxi does need to stay in the human world, it would be best if Po Yi could help her. However, agreeing to do something for Po Yi is too broad a scope. Pouring a glass of water is one thing, but fighting the King of the Underworld is another. How can these be the same?
Han Lingxi always felt uneasy about making such a promise.
But that's all we can do for now. Anyway, Po Yi has already tacitly agreed to the deal. If she were to go to Po Yi and say she disagreed, she would be courting disaster.
The Netherworld Envoys' team dispersed, and Han Lingxi went directly to Luo Shaoxuan's courtyard. Anyway, Po Yi said she didn't need to go back to the Underworld, so Po Yi should be able to take care of things there.
When Han Lingxi arrived outside the courtyard, she noticed that the barrier she had set up when she left had been damaged. It seemed that someone had tried to force their way in, but they obviously failed. Luo Shaoxuan should be out of danger.
Relieved, Han Lingxi slowly walked into Luo Shaoxuan's room, only to find no one there. After a moment of confusion, she went to the study and found that Luo Shaoxuan was indeed there.
She walked silently up to Luo Shaoxuan and found him intently looking at the letter in his hand. Han Lingxi couldn't help but go to his side and saw that it was a letter from the Crown Prince, which should be related to the matter they investigated last time.
Before Han Lingxi could even read what was written in the letter, Luo Shaoxuan gripped it tightly in his hand and looked around. Although he didn't see anything, he didn't let his guard down.
"Ha, you managed to spot that."
Han Lingxi said playfully.
