Zhou Chengxing handed Su Jingshu over to his two sons for support, then turned and ran towards the Mu family.
It's past midnight now; normally everyone would be asleep.
When Zhou Chengxing arrived at the Mu family's door, he was considering whether to knock or climb over the wall when the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Mu Chunping was startled when he opened the door.
"Brother Zhou, ouch!"
I was so scared…
Mu Chunping patted his chest, still shaken. The sudden appearance of someone at the door in the middle of the night had startled him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Mu Chunping calmed herself down and looked at Zhou Chengxing.
"Brother Zhou, what brings you here?"
What's the situation?
Is it going smoothly?
Knowing that we were sending off the old prince today, everyone in the family was still awake. I came over to check on things when I saw it was about time.
As soon as Mu Chunping finished speaking, a person from the Shen family next door came out.
Shen Junshan walked up to Mu Chunping and Zhou Chengxing and asked the same question as Mu Chunping.
Zhou Chengxing was deeply moved. These people, though not related to the Zhou family, were closer than relatives. He looked at the two of them…
"Chunping, Junshan, Ningbao is missing..."
Zhou Chengxing recounted what had just happened and the purpose of his visit.
Mu Chunping and Shen Junshan were initially very worried, but they breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhou Chengxing's words.
Mu Chunping smiled and gently patted Zhou Chengxing's shoulder.
"Brother Zhou, you scared me to death! I thought something had happened to Ningbao. Turns out she went to the underworld."
It's okay. Ningbao has been there a few times before and always came back safely. From its description to Lingling, it's like going on a visit.
Ningbao already said that she went to see the old prince off and made sure he was settled before returning. Brother Zhou, you don't need to worry; it's getting late, go back to sleep.
sleep?
Zhou Chengxing frowned. Could his little girl be the reincarnation of some great celestial being?
Otherwise, how could one go to the underworld and come back to it freely!
"Are you guys having a big meeting in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? How about I get you some wine, stir-fry some dishes, and have a few drinks?"
Master Sanqing walked out of the Mu family home, yawning and shuffling his shoes.
Zhou Chengxing repeated what he had just said.
After hearing this, Master Sanqing rolled his eyes at Zhou Chengxing.
"I thought it was something serious."
What's the big deal about something like this?
"Your daughter, let alone going to the underworld, she might even..."
Master Sanqing paused for a moment before continuing.
"We can't discuss the rest too much. Go tell your family that they don't need to worry about Ningbao."
She'll come back when she's done with her work and tired from playing. Your wife isn't feeling well, so comfort her and reassure her that Ningbao is alright.
Let me put it this way: that child is extraordinary. It's your blessing that she was born into your family, and it's also our blessing that we know her.
Ningbao is a kind-hearted child; let's all just behave ourselves and not cause her any trouble.
Alright, alright, go back and wash up and go to sleep. I'm so sleepy in the middle of the night...
Master Sanqing yawned and went back to sleep.
…………
Zhou Chengxing returned home and recounted the conversation between Mu Chunping and Daoist Sanqing. Everyone then went back to sleep in peace.
The underworld at this time presents a completely different scene...
