"The Purple Jade Pill was given to me by my brother. You should know my brother, he is Han Qianmu."
Cui Han nodded, then a flash of red light appeared on his body and he disappeared, vanished, vanished...
Han Lingxi looked at the spot where Cui Han had disappeared. Didn't he want to give her some thanks? He could have given her some rare treasures, a promotion, or a raise. Why did he just leave like that? All her efforts had been in vain.
Han Lingxi walked back to her residence in confusion, and as soon as she entered the door, Han Qianmu gave her a hard knock on the forehead.
"Ouch, brother, what are you doing? It hurts so much!"
Han Lingxi said with dissatisfaction while rubbing her forehead.
"So you still feel pain? Where did you go? You didn't go to work in the human world yesterday either. I've been looking for you all day."
Han Qianmu said angrily, but there was also a hint of relief in her tone.
"Brother, it's only one day, why are you in such a hurry?"
Han Lingxi asked, puzzled.
“Yesterday, Hades cleansed the underworld. I was afraid you might not realize the importance of this and run off there. But the ghost messengers said you didn’t go to guide the new souls, and they can’t find you anywhere.”
"Purge the Yellow Springs? What does that mean?"
Han Lingxi didn't understand why Han Qianmu could remain so calm even though Hades was seriously injured and all the ghosts in the Yellow Springs had disappeared.
"You've only been here a short time, so you naturally don't know that if there are evil spirits running rampant in the underworld, the King of the Underworld will take action to wipe out that area."
Han Qianmu explained. Han Lingxi recalled yesterday's events; it was clearly Cui Han who was caught stealing and got into a fight, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the purge.
"Doesn't Hades give any advance notice?"
If it were always like this, the original owner would have died countless times in his previous life while ferrying people across the Yellow Springs.
"They would usually notify us, but not this time. Maybe Hades forgot."
Han Qianmu said somewhat uncertainly.
Han Lingxi finally understood. Cui Han must have accidentally cleansed the Yellow Springs, making everyone think it was intentional. Little did they know that a great battle had taken place there, and no one would know that he was injured. This was probably beneficial for his management of the Underworld.
"Okay, brother, I won't forget to go to the human world next time."
"If you dare to do that again, I won't plead for you when Po Yi punishes you. Let her teach you a lesson with the thirteen-section snake bone whip."
Han Qianmu tried to scare Han Lingxi, but Han Lingxi stuck out her tongue at him and ran away, not believing him at all. He said he would never abandon Han Lingxi, no matter who she was. Even though Han Lingxi had committed a grave mistake in her past life, he still went around begging for help and gave away all the fine wine he had hidden to save her life.
Han Lingxi left the underworld with many underworld messengers to bring back a dead local gentry and a poisoned concubine to the underworld. Her work for the day was done. Han Lingxi looked at the sky and saw that it was just past the hour of Chou (1-3 AM). She had an hour of free time left, so she decided to go to the Luo residence to see Luo Shaoxuan.
Han Lingxi wandered around the Luo residence and finally arrived at the courtyard where Luo Shaoxuan lived. Although she could pass through walls, she always felt strange when she did, especially when she found someone inside the house after passing through the wall. So she tried to walk as much as possible.
Upon arriving at Luo Shaoxuan's courtyard, Han Lingxi walked directly through the bamboo grove and into Luo Shaoxuan's room. She found the room seemingly empty, but there were signs that someone had slept on the bed. Had he gotten up so early? Han Lingxi left the bedroom in confusion and turned to look at the study, where she noticed the light was on.
