The aftermath of the royal court's affairs are still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Li Ji, the four palace maids around her, and Che Zhaohua were all released, but Grand Tutor Che was left behind.

After all, he was once a loyal minister of the Northern Kingdom, so we had to dig some information out of him.

Jiaojiao originally wanted to take a look at the secret passage, but Qiao Tianjing did not agree.

According to him, "How can my little sister stay in such a dirty place?"

Jiaojiao gave up after hearing that. Everyone was busy, but she was free, so she simply went to bed early that night.

Before falling asleep, she was still thinking that everything here was settled and it was time to go home.

"My mother must be worried sick, why don't you pack up and prepare to go back tomorrow..."

She mumbled something to herself and soon fell asleep.

.......

Old Yanwang said that they would meet soon, but Jiaojiao didn't expect it to be so soon!

Seeing that she was already in the pavilion, with the old king of hell sitting opposite her, Jiaojiao quickly bowed in a proper manner.

Old King of Hell raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this still the girl who shouted "Old King of Hell, Old King of Hell" at him?

"Old Yama! You're here so fast!"

After Jiaojiao finished her greeting, she grinned, climbed onto the stool opposite Old Yama, and rested her arms on the stone table with a smile.

Old Yama: “…”

Forget it, at least I know to use "you".

Jiaojiao is not afraid of the old King of Hell, he has a good temper!

"Now, can you help me clear up my confusion?"

As expected, the old King of Hell didn't care at all and nodded casually.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao became more serious and asked directly, "Why me?"

The old king of hell seemed to have anticipated Jiaojiao's question. He lightly tapped his finger on the stone table, and a thick book appeared in front of him.

Jiaojiao stretched her neck curiously, "What is this?"

"Take it and have a look." The old man pushed the book in front of Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao immediately lowered her head and saw big black words written on the cover of the book - "Record of Injustice".

Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately opened the book. What caught her eye was a familiar name: Qiao Zhongguo!

“Daddy!”

Jiaojiao cried out softly and looked carefully hastily, only to see that the "Record of Injustices" recorded in detail her father's birth and death years, his life deeds, and...injustice!

Turning to the back, there are mother, elder brother and second brother, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, brother emperor, sister Xiao, Xiao Si, Empress Dowager, cousin An Ning...

This book "Record of Injustice" is so thick that every page represents the soul of a person who died unjustly.

Jiaojiao's hands couldn't stop shaking as she turned the pages one by one. By the time she reached the end of "Record of Injustices", she had never heard of the names that appeared in it before.

Among them were the martyrs of the Huguo Temple, the children of the Tzu Chi Agency, and the innocent people who died of the epidemic in Minzhou...

At this time, the old King of Hell's voice sounded solemnly: "This king is in charge of the cycle of life and death. There are thousands and thousands of small worlds in the world, and there are unjust, false and wrong cases and people who have died unjustly everywhere."

"But in such a small world, there are so many resentful souls crying out for justice. There must be something wrong."

"As for why I chose you..."

When Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately raised her head and heard the old king of hell slowly say:

"Because you are already part of this small world. You are the daughter of the Qiao family."

Jiaojiao's eyes widened suddenly when she heard this. The old king of hell continued:

"You died at the age of three, and after entering the underworld, you were reincarnated. In your new life, you died at the age of eighteen, but after returning, you brought with you a lot of merits. That's why I received you."

"It was at this time that I discovered that you were from that small world in your previous life, so I decided to make an exception and intervene."

"To go against the will of heaven and change one's fate is against the order of heaven and earth. This opportunity was obtained by the people in the Record of Injustice with reluctance and injustice, and it was also obtained by your merits."

"You only have one chance. Fortunately, you did a good job."

Having said that, a faint smile appeared on the old King of Hell's face for the first time.

He waved his right hand lightly, and the "Record of Injustice" in front of Jiaojiao gradually turned into ashes and soon disappeared into the void.

"My fate has been changed, my grievances have been resolved, and everything has started over again. Naturally, this book, "Records of Injustices", no longer exists."

Jiaojiao was shocked when she heard this, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw "Record of Injustice" disappear into thin air with her own eyes.

Very good......

And she, it turns out that she is the child of her father and mother!

The old king of hell thoughtfully gave Jiaojiao enough time to digest the food. After a while, Jiaojiao calmed down and looked up and asked:

"Old King Yan, since the world has come true, will you take back this Merit Mall?"

Last night she used the Merit Mall to heal Xiao Si's hand that was struck by lightning. The mall was still usable at the time, but Jiaojiao was not sure whether she could continue to keep this golden finger.

Upon hearing this, the old King of Hell simply said, "This is what you deserve."

"Besides, if you are such a kind-hearted person like you and you see others suffering and are unable to do anything about it, you will surely feel bad."

Jiaojiao didn't expect that the old king of hell would be so straightforward and considerate of her so much, and she was deeply moved.

"Thank you, old Yama!"

When the old king of hell saw Jiaojiao suddenly look like a servile person, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Thank yourself, but there are indeed changes in the Merit Mall. From today on, merit points will only decrease and not increase. You should make good use of them."

"As for the merits you will accumulate in the future, you can settle them with me after you die."

Jiaojiao keenly caught the words "died of old age" and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Old King of Hell, you've let the secret out! It looks like I can live a good life to old age!"

The old king of hell didn't seem to care about Jiaojiao knowing it, he just curved his lips and said:

"Your efforts have saved, or rather created, a whole new world, a world that has broken away from the established trajectory and is heading towards the unknown."

"From now on, all the good times and beautiful scenery are what you deserve. Just live your life with a clear conscience."

Seeing that Old Yanwang was talking to her seriously, Jiaojiao thought back on the journey she had taken. Although it was only three or four years, she had indeed exhausted all her energy and given it her all.

There is no need to say much about the difficulties involved, but fortunately, good deeds will eventually lead to good results.

Thinking of this, Jiaojiao quickly jumped down from the stone bench and bowed to the old King of Hell in a proper manner.

"Okay, go ahead."

The old King of Hell was straightforward. He waved his right hand lightly, and Jiaojiao was ejected from the dream without any explanation.

The pavilion disappeared in an instant, and the old King of Hell stood in nothingness.

Looking at the direction where Jiaojiao left, the old king of hell raised his lips, his eyes full of admiration.

"What a clever mind..."

"This girl will have great fortune in the future."

————

Jiaojiao kicked her feet suddenly and woke up from her dream instantly.

What caught my eye were the concerned faces of Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjing.

"Jiaojiao, why did you sleep for so long? It's already noon, are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Zhongguo reached out and rubbed Jiaojiao's head, his face full of worry.

Jiaojiao blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that she had only sat with the Old King of Hell for a short while in her dream, but such a long time had passed in reality.

She quickly shook her head, and suddenly thought of what the old king of hell said, she was originally her father's daughter...

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly sore, Jiaojiao immediately threw herself into Qiao Zhongguo's arms and said in a trembling voice:

"Daddy, Jiaojiao is fine. Jiaojiao just... misses mommy and wants to go home."
