Once Sun Han and the other three had fully recovered, the nine men and one wolf first accompanied Cheng Shuang to Youjian Inn. The little girl standing at the entrance hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Du Jun patted the little girl's head and rang the doorbell for her.
Cheng Shuang actually had a feeling that she still wouldn't be able to see her sister this time.
Don't ask, it's just my intuition.
The two gatekeepers opened the door as usual.
The two boys, named Hong and Cang, did not show much surprise when they saw Cheng Shuang and her group. On the contrary, the composed boy Cang even had a hint of regret in his eyes.
He stepped forward and bowed again, saying, "The boss is away on business and will be back soon."
Tong Zihong skipped over and winked mischievously at Cheng Shuang, "The boss left a gift at the Samsara Star office, you'll definitely like it!"
Cang glanced at Hong, initially blaming his companion for being impatient, but seeing the girl in front of him unable to hide her disappointment, he couldn't help but soften his voice, "If possible, the boss also wants to reunite with the stationmaster as soon as possible; her longing for her family is just like yours."
Du Lanshan and the others couldn't help but look at Cheng Shuang, who hadn't said a word, with concern, afraid that she would feel worried and wronged. Liao Yuewei wanted to go forward to comfort her, but Sun Han held her back.
With her head bowed, Cheng Shuang sighed softly. "What is my sister busy with?" The disappointment in her eyes had vanished, replaced by a sharp glint in her gaze. "Is what she's busy with related to me?"
Hong's eyes widened, and he suddenly took half a step back, shaking his head in a panic.
Seeing his expression, what else could the others not understand?
According to what Xiao Q said before, there seems to be no subordinate relationship between the inn and the Gate of Reincarnation. It's more like a transaction, providing a place of rest for those tourists who have nowhere to go but are quite powerful.
Given the close relationship between the Cheng sisters, Cheng Shuang and Cheng Qing, it's highly likely that Cheng Qing wouldn't want her younger sister to be constantly in danger, so it's understandable that she would try to manipulate things for her.
The Gate of Reincarnation is not a charity; its existence is intertwined with Earth's consciousness, and its purpose is far from selfish. They must have invested considerable effort in cultivating these maintainers. If Cheng Shuang were merely a simple maintainer, that would be easy. However, she represents a complete and mature resting place, so if Cheng Qing wants her freedom, he will likely pay a heavy price.
Cheng Shuang could easily understand the intricacies of the situation. It was precisely because she understood her sister's concern for her that she couldn't blame her sister for acting on her own initiative.
She couldn't leave her companions, but she also didn't want her sister to worry about her, or even... sacrifice herself for them.
The young girl couldn't stay any longer. She flatly refused Tong Zihong's invitation to come in and tour the inn, and prepared to leave decisively. She was going to the office to ask about her sister's whereabouts, and if possible, she would stop her sister.
Cang sighed softly, unsure whether he was lamenting his companion's impatience or the sisters' repeated missed opportunities. Finally, as Cheng Shuang turned away, he spoke up to advise, "The boss's idea won't be easily achieved, and the Earth's consciousness isn't a heartless and cold-blooded entity. In short, you..."
Cheng Shuang turned around and waved gratefully, "I understand, thank you!" She took two steps and then stopped, "Oh, right, these are for my sister."
She poured out a bunch of odds and ends from her spatial pouch, but of course, she didn't hand over the spoils that belonged to Du Lanshan and Liao Yuewei.
Hong pounced over immediately, extremely excited. "I didn't expect there to be so many good things in the Land of Death, hahaha!" he said, and began to put them into his spatial equipment.
Cang frowned and stepped forward to stop him, "This is for the boss!"
"I know, I know, I'll keep it for the boss, hehe!"
"Alright, keep it! I've written it all down. If anything is missing, see how the boss punishes you!" This is a gift from the boss's beloved younger sister.
Cang watched the departing figures, then slowly closed the door, too lazy to even glance at Hong's greedy and ugly behavior.
The group of people who had been traveling along the road became unusually quiet.
They had countless thoughts on their minds.
The most common thought is that if Cheng Shuang leaves, what will they do after losing their rest stop?
Yes, none of them ever intended to stop Cheng Shuang from escaping the Land of Death and truly returning to reality. This was a great opportunity, so why would they stop her? They would even support her going back.
Although Cheng Shuang is the station manager, she is also a child (younger sister) whom they want to cherish. She should return to a normal and peaceful social atmosphere and continue to enjoy her studies and life.
The affairs of the Earth are enough for the adults to bear.
That's all they said; they were genuinely quite reluctant to part with it.
Gong Zhu was the first to break the silence. She and Du Jun had brought back a rechargeable bus from the previous death zone. The nine people sitting in the bus in complete silence immediately became unbearable for her. "I say, this is a good thing! How should we celebrate? How about we find a restaurant or a rest stop for a meal?"
Cheng Shuang sniffed, her mood dampened for the first time, and said, "No way! I think this celebration should be held in the real world. We can celebrate together when everyone returns to the real world to visit their families. That would be so much more meaningful!"
Every family has its own troubles. The Du brothers lost contact with their relatives when their parents died at a young age. Gong Zhu didn't care much about his parents who had remarried. Du Jun's family was abroad, but he didn't have a good relationship with his family either, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to China to go to university.
They want to save up a few more days of vacation so they're not in a hurry to go back now.
The Sihai siblings, Sun Han, and Liao Yuewei all have healthy parents and close family ties. The four of them decided to use their day off to spend time with their families, so that they wouldn't have any regrets if something were to happen to them later.
