Lord Tian considered it for a long time but still felt that this was not a good idea. "I'll wait for him here."
The King of Hell almost lost his temper. "Why are you so inflexible? Can't you look somewhere else? How many years have you been waiting here? If she were going to come, she would have come long ago."
Seeing that King Yama was about to faint from anger, the judge quickly said, "Yes. Maybe you'll find it in another place. If you still can't find it, come back and wait. The gates of the underworld are always open to you."
"this……"
Judge: "Stop with the pleasantries. You've given my master so many suggestions over the years, and he only let you go to the human world to express his gratitude. Other ghosts don't get this treatment."
King Yama: "Yes. We've known each other for so many years, I've long considered you a close friend. I really can't bear to see you continue to wait in vain."
Lord Tian was deeply moved. "I also consider you a close friend."
"Then listen to me. I won't hurt you. I'll find you a good family."
"this……"
The King of Hell waved his hand. "Enough talk, it's settled then. I have other matters to attend to, you should go back now. I'll send someone to fetch you once I find a good family."
"this……"
The King of Hell said, "Go back and wait for my good news," and then slipped away with the judge.
Lord Tian stayed in the King of Hell's palace for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before leaving.
After he left, King Yama and the judge came out from behind the main hall.
The judge asked curiously, "Do you think he will be reincarnated?"
Even the King of Hell doesn't know. "Didn't his attendant come down a few days ago? Go and have a good talk with that attendant. Tell him that if he can persuade that guy to leave, we'll find him a wealthy family when his time to be reincarnated comes."
"Yes, I will go find him right away."
On the other side, after leaving King Yama's place, Lord Tian went to wait at the entrance to the underworld.
He waited for five or six hours before returning to his residence.
His attendant greeted him as he returned. "Master, you're back?"
"Hmm. Did you go out for a walk today?"
"I looked around, but couldn't find it."
The two walked into the house while talking.
As soon as he entered the room, the servant smiled. "Congratulations, sir! The judge just came to see me."
Lord Tian smiled. "I've been watching the King of Hell for so many years, and he's finally had enough of me and is finally sending me to find that Jia fellow."
The servant congratulated Lord Tian again. "Master, there are still two things I don't understand."
"explain."
"Thank you, sir. Sir, how did you know that the King of Hell would send you to Lord Jia?"
Lord Tian looked at his attendant and said with a smile, "Because he is the King of Hell. With his status, even if he doesn't know why the man surnamed Jia hasn't come to the underworld, he also knows where the man surnamed Jia went."
The servant seemed to understand. "So, you're just focusing your efforts on him alone?"
Lord Tian nodded. "In my past life, I was angered to death by that Jia fellow. I've been watching the King of Hell for so many years, and he probably wants to throw me into a vat of boiling oil."
“But I have done some things for the people. So, when he can’t stand me anymore, he will send me to the Jia family so that I can continue to fight with the Jia family. This way, I won’t make any mistakes and I can vent my anger.”
"Besides, he probably wants me to be angered to death by that Jia guy again."
"..." Really? "If you go up there and come down again in just a few days, won't someone be watching him again?" M.cascoo.net
Lord Tian reiterated his previous statement: "He's the King of Hell; he can watch me make a fool of myself and then send me to that Jia family."
"..."
"Then watch me get so angry I die, and then send me back."
"...Sir, you're really something." Look how angry you've made the King of Hell.
"I don't want it to be like this either, but I can't think of any other way. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"I...I'm afraid you'll be angry."
"I'm not angry." He's in a good mood now. "Go ahead and say it."
"Yes." The servant looked at Lord Tian cautiously and said, "Master, why do you insist on finding Lord Jia? Although Lord Jia doesn't get along with you, he didn't make things difficult for the young master and the others after you left."
"Is that even a question? I was so angry with him that I had to go and settle the score with him."
The servant thought to himself, "In my humble opinion, you're just not convinced." Then he looked at Lord Tian and said:
“My lord, I am your servant, so please don’t try to fool me. You have known all along that you have an incurable disease. You deliberately argued with Lord Jia in front of the entire court and deliberately blamed your death on Lord Jia, just to use your death to bring Lord Jia down. You were afraid that after you died, no one would be able to stand up to Lord Jia.”
Lord Tian never expected that his thoughts would be seen through by a mere servant. Even the man surnamed Jia hadn't realized it. Unfortunately, even in the main hall, he couldn't bring down the man surnamed Jia.
Lord Tian glared at his servant. "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Sir, please stop pretending. I saw you coughing up blood."
Lord Tian's expression remained unchanged; in fact, he tapped his servant. "You idiot, have you forgotten that I like to drink fruit wine? Have you forgotten that I always carry a jug of fruit wine with me?"
"...Sir, do you mean that what you coughed up that day wasn't blood, but fruit wine?"
"Hmm." After fighting with the man surnamed Jia for seven or eight years without defeating him, he thought: if his lifespan is not as long as Jia's, he will use his death to bring Jia down.
