Chapter 124 Giving Lu Yifei a Favor
Because there were family members of the victim nearby, Yu Xiaoluo didn't want others to know about this, lest it spread and cause unnecessary trouble.
In order to put the family at ease and not let them continue to worry, they had no choice but to tell a lie: "Your daughter has already been reincarnated because she has accumulated a lot of merit."
Upon hearing the news, a slight smile finally appeared on the worried faces of the two families. "Ah, as long as my daughter can have a good life in her next life, that's all that matters."
"Yes, I hope they can live out their lives peacefully."
Yu Xiaoluo smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle and Aunt, please don't worry."
"Thank you, Master."
A quarter of an hour later, the spirits reluctantly bid farewell to their loved ones and began the ritual of deliverance. Shen Yujie also joined their procession.
She looked a little reluctant to leave, bowed deeply three times to Yu Xiaoluo, and said goodbye to everyone she knew present, "Miss Yu, Young Master Yu, Brother Bao, Brother Hua, Brother Nanshan, Brother Zhuo, Miss Qiao, Grandpa Qiao, Xiaozhuzhu and Haha—please also say goodbye to Xiaoxianxian and the others on our behalf. Thank you all for being willing to stay with me and help me during this time."
Yu Xiaoluo gently hugged Shen Yujie, "Sister Shen, it's you who helped us so much."
Yes, all along, Shen Yujie has been like an older sister, taking care of everyone in every little way, doing a lot of things without ever complaining about getting dirty or tired.
If it weren't for that, she could have cultivated to a higher level.
"Sister Chen, go in peace. We'll take care of the restaurant. As long as we're here, the restaurant will stay. If you remember us in the next life, come visit often."
Yu Xiaolu smiled and said, and Miss Shen nodded with tears in her eyes.
The ritual of deliverance was performed by Yu Xiaoluo, after all, this was a ritual for the deliverance of 16 souls, and Hua Zi's spiritual power was almost exhausted when he summoned the souls.
There were originally four spirits, but they have disappeared from the world forever.
Although Yu Xiaoluo could help them pass on without using a ceremony, with Zhuo Fan and Qiao Hongzhu present, and with the victims' families also there, the ceremony would feel more solemn.
So Yu Xiaoluo still followed the rules and helped the 16 souls pass on, until they kept turning back and reluctantly disappeared into the night.
Shen Yujie followed them, her eyes filled with tears.
As they watched them disappear completely, the family members wiped away their tears and expressed their deepest gratitude to Yu Xiaoluo and her family, thanking them for being able to see their child one last time and say a final goodbye.
At this moment, a system notification sounded: [Completed 15 good deeds, accumulated good deeds value 37, function value +15, accumulated merit value 112.]
Yu Xiaoluo: [Aren't there 16 soul spirits?]
System: [Master, don't lie to me. Shen Yujie already gave it to you, so it doesn't count.]
Yu Xiaolu thought about it and agreed, so she didn't ask any more questions.
After the family members had all left, Yu Xiaoluo solemnly said to Nanshan, "Recently, Soul Eaters have appeared, so everyone should be careful."
Nanshan's eyes widened. "You mean, those other ghosts who didn't show up earlier, they're gone?"
Yu Xiaoluo nodded. "Like Zhang Yue, this matter is a bit tricky."
"Should we hand this over to the three great masters of metaphysics?"
"No, I don't believe them."
Yu Xiaoluo's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Nanshan was a little troubled. "This is a matter concerning ghosts, and it's not really my place to interfere."
Yes, there have been so many murders lately, he can't even keep up with the dead, let alone the ghosts. He sighed softly, "Luo Luo, I'll report this to my superiors. If you have time, please keep an eye on this matter and see if you can resolve it."
Yu Xiaoluo nodded.
So they moved some things, removed others, and after cleaning up, they went back to rest. It was already past midnight when they got home.
Yu Xiaolu was really exhausted that day. After washing up when she got home, she fell asleep almost immediately.
The same applies to other people and demons.
Just the opening ceremony alone, which saw 100 people, almost wore them out. Then there was the fortune telling at the banquet, and later the midnight ritual to help these souls pass on. Everyone was exhausted.
Regardless, the Yu Family Metaphysics Academy has made a name for itself.

Early in the morning, Chen Mi called Bao Shuoyu to come downstairs.
Bao Shuoyu was sleeping soundly and ignored him, but he couldn't stand the phone calls, so he had to get up and go downstairs, looking grumpy. "Are you in such a hurry to be reborn? You're disturbing my sleep so early in the morning."
Chen Mi paced anxiously downstairs. When she saw Bao Shuoyu arrive, she rushed up to him, exclaiming, "Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Bao Shuoyu frowned. "What major incident could possibly happen? Speak like a human being."
"Something happened to Lu Yifei?"
Bao Shuoyu was startled, but still maintained a nonchalant expression. "What could possibly happen to him? Did he lose an arm or a leg?"
"He committed suicide!"
Bao Shuoyu was genuinely shocked. Suicide? Wasn't he killed by me? How did it become suicide? Doesn't this negate all my hard work?
Uh, no, the real Lu Yifei actually died a long time ago. He was killed by Ming Jiuyou. What does that have to do with me?
Thinking about it this way, he felt particularly at ease, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Suicide? How could he commit suicide? How did he die?"
"Jumping off a cliff, jumping from such a high mountain, his neck was broken, he died a terrible death."
Bao Shuoyu's lips twitched. "How can this be considered suicide? What if someone pushed him?"
Chen Mi said definitively, "The police have all said that the current verdict is suicide because there was a note left on him."
A note? Bao Shuoyu's face darkened. "What note? Can't you just finish what you're saying?"
Chen Mi was a little flustered when she saw Bao Shuoyu suddenly get angry. "The note said: I'm going to another world to cultivate immortality, Mom and Dad, don't worry about me—"
Was this something Shangguan Peiyu came up with?
Sigh, this woman is quite thoughtful; she seems to have completely distanced herself from Lu Yifei and their past.
Bao Shuoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was a pretty perfect disguise, saving him a lot of trouble.
"Good."
Chen Mi looked at Bao Shuoyu in surprise, "Pretty good?"
Bao Shuoyu quickly changed the subject, "No, no, that's not my explanation. Sigh, I'm also heartbroken that Lu Yifei is gone. After all, we explored the Savage Valley together. He was so young."
Chen Mi couldn't find any heartache on Bao Shuoyu's face, but she didn't care. "Hey, he's probably gone crazy playing games, that's why he did something like this. But the game we play isn't about cultivating immortality, it's really strange—his parents are heartbroken. Let's go see them and do them a favor."
