In the private room upstairs, Chen Bichen was indeed already waiting there.
He stood with his back to the window, looking at the people coming and going on the street outside, feeling the atmosphere of the world.
"You're here." He said calmly when Xiao Shuangbao opened the door and came in. Then he turned around and looked at the newcomer with gentle eyes.
"Junior Master..." Shuangbao looked at his gentle gaze and suddenly didn't know how to start.
She stepped forward and walked up to him.
Behind him, Yun Wuchen also followed in.
Chen Bichen glanced at him, then looked at Xiao Shuangbao: "You came to ask me if I am dead, right?"
"...Yeah." When Xiao Shuangbao saw him ask this, he stopped being shy and nodded directly to show his affirmativeness.
"I am indeed dead." Shen Bichen said in a very calm tone, took her little hand, and took her to sit down at the table.
Fingers were cold, without a trace of the warmth of a living being.
Xiao Shuangbao felt complicated for a moment and began to doubt his own abilities.
"Why couldn't I tell that Junior Master-Uncle wasn't alive?" she said somewhat depressed.
"Back then, I was hunted down by assassins from the Loulan royal family, but your mother didn't give up on me. It was she who guided me on the path of ghost cultivation. Afterwards, when your mother died, I collected her soul and nurtured it with my own. Your mother's spiritual power is extremely powerful, which has also made my abilities unprecedentedly powerful. Therefore, under the cover of magic, you can't tell that I am not a living person. Moreover, I carry your mother's soul in me, which is close and gentle to you, so you will not realize that my true identity is a ghost cultivator."
Chen Bichen explained, "It is precisely because I am a ghost cultivator that I cannot perform salvation for Su Wanwan. Ghost cultivators cannot perform salvation for other ghosts."
"You, you really have my mother's soul in you?!" Xiao Shuangbao was shocked when he heard it!
"Of course it's true." Shen Bi Shen smiled at her gently.
Then, in front of Xiao Shuangbao's shocked gaze, he directly pulled out Yun Lingjun's soul from his own body.
The withdrawal process is very painful.
Chen Bichen's face quickly turned pale, and the strength around him continued to weaken.
But he didn't show anything and didn't say a word.
Finally, he completed the withdrawal, and a ball of red soul in his palm jumped like fire.
"I have finally waited for this day, and I can hand over my senior sister's soul to her daughter." Chen Bichen's strength was directly weakened by half, but there was a relieved smile on his pale face.
Little Shuangbao looked at the red soul and finally came to his senses. He carefully stretched out his hands and took it.
As soon as the warm touch touched her palm, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mother...it's really you...Shuangbao, Shuangbao can feel it!" she said in tears.
"That ancient copper coin of yours was carefully refined by my senior sister. It is the best soul container in the world. From now on, you will nurture your mother's soul in it, go to the Xuanmen of Southern Yan Kingdom, retrieve her body, and then you can revive her." Chen Bichen said again.
"Then, what about you? Junior Master, I can feel that your strength has weakened a lot..." Xiao Shuangbao said with a guilty feeling.
"It's okay."
Chen Bichen smiled at her in a relaxed tone, "If it weren't for your mother, I would have been dead long ago. Although my strength has weakened now, time is passing slowly. I just need to practice well and I will be able to practice to my current level again.
"Besides, what I did for your mother is very insignificant and cannot compare to the sincere friendship she showed me back then."
When he said this, Xiao Shuangbao felt relieved and at the same time, he gained some insights.
Time is long.
As long as people don't give up on themselves, everything can start over again, and there is still time to do anything.
At this moment, she nodded and carefully placed her mother's soul into the space of the ancient bronze vessel, making a perfect place for her to be nurtured...
"Shuangbao, you've almost done what you should do in Beirong. Next, it's time to go to Nanyan and put an end to all this there." Chen Bichen said, raising his hand and gently touching the top of her head. "Don't be afraid. You have your mother's love, which is enough to not fear anything that makes others afraid in this world."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yun Wuchen with a meaningful look.
Yun Wuchen understood what he meant and immediately gave a wry smile.
What Chen Bichen meant was that everyone was afraid of the Ghost Mother, but little Shuangbao didn’t need to be afraid at all.
He guessed right.
Before Yun Lingjun died, he must have done something to Xiao Shuangbao, so that she didn't have to be afraid of the ghost mother at all. Instead, the ghost mother was very afraid of her.
What exactly this is? When Nan Yan sees the ghost mother, she will know it clearly.
"Junior Master, you must take good care of yourself. I will bring my mother back to see you later." Xiao Shuangbao raised his little hands and hugged Chen Bichen, saying obediently.
"Okay." Chen Bichen nodded and smiled gently.
Everything that needs to be said has been said.
Next, do what you should do.
Xiao Shuangbao brought Yun Wuchen back to the Yun family and told Jing Xi and others about his next plan.
"You're going to Southern Yan? Why so suddenly? Aren't you going back to Eastern Qi?" Wen Yunzong looked at her and asked.
"Let's go back and see daddy." Xiao Shuangbao thought for a while and said.
"Since you've made your decision, let's leave quickly." Jing Xi said, glancing at Zhong Liyu. "What are your plans?"
"Of course I want to go back to Nanyan with Shuangbao. Of course, I need your father's consent." Zhongli Yu said half seriously and half jokingly.
"That's easy. As long as it's for Shuangbao's good, father will naturally not object." Jing Xi knew Emperor Chengxuan very well.
Once things are decided, everything will be done with great vigor and determination.
Xiao Shuangbao went to tell Yun Ting and Ying Xiao first.
When the two heard that it was about Yun Lingjun's resurrection, they naturally did not dare to let her delay and immediately prepared to leave for her.
Previously, Xiao Shuangbao had made plans in Beirong. Now, the eight major families are either cooperating with the Ying family or have many of their weaknesses grasped by Xiao Shuangbao. How the Ying family will become emperor next depends on themselves.
After Xiao Shuangbao asked Ye Yuaner and Ruoer for their opinions on leaving, Ye Yuaner was still worried about her parents and was reluctant to leave.
Ruoer and Yuaner have a good relationship, so she decides to stay with Yuaner.
Xiao Shuangbao respected their opinions and wrote a letter to Yun Mu, a senior member of the Yun family, asking him to train Ruo'er and Yuan'er well. Then, after meeting the head of the Ying family, he left.
The carriage sped along.
Half a month later, Xiao Shuangbao returned to the imperial capital of Dongqi.
"It's been a long time." Ling Ge lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the towering palace. He felt a sense of emotion. After all, he had lived here for many years, and now it was time to leave.
