"I haven't thought about it yet, but you've already agreed," Lan Yu said with a grin.
"So if you want me to kill and set fires, am I supposed to do it?" Aivenxing's eyes widened.
"Don't worry, the thing I ask you to do is definitely not illegal, and you can definitely do it," Lan Yu assured him, patting his chest.
"Okay! I promise you!" Aivenxing readily agreed, "Anyway, there are so many people witnessing this!"
Having received Ai Wenxing's words, Lan Yucai proudly pulled a small red cloth bag from his pocket.
Su Ruyi stood up at this moment, her expression solemn: "Elder Ai, I must tell you something first."
“I know—my father is gone, otherwise why would you talk about a living soul? I know a little about living souls, they are souls that haven’t been reincarnated yet. Maybe my father was thinking about something?”
“This…” Su Ruyi didn’t dare to look Ai Wenxing in the eye, “Let your father tell you this himself.”
"Will I really be able to see him?" Aiven's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Yes, but... you can only meet in your dreams."
"No matter where we meet, as long as I can see him even once, my life's wish will be fulfilled!"
Lan Yu handed the red cloth package to Ai Wenxing: "Put this in your inner pocket. Don't take it off, keep it close to your body for seven days! Don't take it off even when eating or sleeping! Oh, and don't take a bath during these seven days!"
"Why is that?" Aiven asked, puzzled.
Actually, this is because the contents of the red cloth bag are imbued with Su Ruyi's aura.
The reason Ai Wenxing carried it close to his body was to absorb Su Ruyi's scent and thus better enter the dream.
But he couldn't tell him this, so Lan Yu could only glare at him: "Just do as I say. Do you think I have to tell you the secrets of our Xiaomei Mountain?"
"Look at you, old man, your temper is even worse than mine! Fine, fine, I'll take you!"
"Remember, no showering!"
"Okay! No washing! -- Then should I take it off when I poop?"
"Don't take it off no matter what!"
Lan Yu was so angry that his beard trembled. "We'll come back in seven days. Let's go!"
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
Ai Wenxing said to Su Ruyi, "Little Divine Doctor, please wait."
Su Ruyi turned around stiffly: "Old Ai, please speak."
Ai Wenxing sighed, "How is my father, my dad?"
Su Ruyi could no longer bear it. "I'm sorry, Elder Ai! The one who begged your father to send her away back then was me!"
"It's you? How could it be you? That was in 1930, 45 years ago! And you... don't tell me you're already in your sixties or seventies?"
"This matter is not easy to explain in a short time. Let your father explain it to you. In short... I owe your Ai family a great favor! I, Su Ruyi, will put this down here today—Su Ruyi will be at your beck and call for the rest of my life. No matter when or what, I will be there whenever you call."
Upon hearing this, Ai Wenxing scratched his head and said, "Why do I feel like... what you're saying sounds like... you killed my whole family?"
Tears welled up in Su Ruyi's eyes: "Although I didn't kill your whole family directly, it was close enough."
Ai Wenxing waved his hand: "Little Divine Doctor, put your mind at ease—I know your character. Even if there were any unforeseen events, grudges, or resentments in the past, you have healed my heartache and will soon fulfill my lifelong wish, so it all cancels out."
After saying this, Su Ruyi felt a warm sensation coming from the finger where she was wearing the ring.
She couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly said a few more words of farewell and fled from Aivenxing's house as if she were escaping.
...
Seven days later, Lan Yu, Su Ruyi, and Qi Yasheng arrived at Ai Wenxing's house on time.
As soon as you enter, you're greeted by the scent of face powder.
Ai Wenxing scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I haven't showered for seven days. I know that old people like me naturally have a smell, so please don't mind, especially Little Divine Doctor!"
After these seven days, Su Ruyi had come to a slightly better understanding.
Regardless of the cause and effect of the past, and regardless of who was right or wrong, the seeds have already been sown.
All she can do now is try her best to make amends.
She took out a bottle of pills she had prepared in her spatial dimension: "Elder Ai, Master Qingfeng said that meeting with a living soul will weaken your luck for a period of time, and your body may also develop various ailments. These are pills to strengthen your constitution. Take one pill on an empty stomach every morning when you wake up—do not take it with tea, but with warm boiled water."
"Oh, you're so kind, even giving me a bottle of elixir!" Ai Wenxing happily accepted it. "Made by the Little Divine Doctor, it must be something good!"
Su Ruyi smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary pill."
Qi Yasheng said discontentedly, "What about mine? Why don't I have any?"
Su Ruyi shrugged: "That's all we have left this year. How about I make some more for you next year?"
Qi Yasheng was a little unhappy: "Fine, I'll remember this. If you don't give it to me next year, I'll make a scene!"
Everyone was trying to liven up the atmosphere, but Aiven's nervousness was still clearly visible.
He asked Lan Yu, who hadn't spoken until now, "This... how do I meet with a living soul? What do I need to do?"
Lan Yu, carrying a large bag, said, "Stop arguing and find me an empty room first. I need to change my clothes."
Ai Wenxing called the nanny, who then took Lan Yu away.
Ai Wenxing then served tea to Su Ruyi and Qi Yasheng.
While pouring the tea, she hesitated for a moment and said, "How about... I take these cups away later? I'm afraid that if I see a living spirit, I might not be able to control myself..."
"No, you just need to get some sleep," Su Ruyi replied.
"Huh? I can just take a nap? Why didn't you say so sooner! I can sleep a lot—I was so nervous, I was awake all night!"
As they were talking, Lan Yu had already entered.
He changed into a pure white satin Taoist robe, which made him look very ethereal and otherworldly.
"Clean up everything on the coffee table."
After Lan Yu finished speaking, the group started clearing the coffee table.
He then took out a white silk cloth and laid it on top.
They placed the incense burner, lit three incense sticks, and set up an altar.
"Old Ai, just lie down on the sofa and find a comfortable position!"
"Oh, now? Just lying here?"
"Yes, hurry up! The auspicious time is almost over!"
Aivenxing lay down, his hands trembling with nervousness.
"Okay, now you can sleep."
Upon hearing this, Ai Wenxing stared wide-eyed at the ceiling without blinking.
