Xiao Lejin was no longer a spirit, but a person. Wan Jiao could only send her back to the capital city and have Si Yue take care of her.
As they parted, Xiao Lejin held Wan Jiao's hand, not wanting her to leave, "Mother, I don't want to be separated from you."
After regaining her memories, Xiao Lejin was able to remember everything about when she was still in Runling's belly.
She knew that her mother loved her very much.
Wan Jiao was also unwilling to leave Xiao Lejin alone, as her body contained the Heavenly Book of Ming Jin, which was a very dangerous thing.
But some things have to be done.
"Little Jin, I'll be back after this episode is finished. Be a good girl and listen to Sister Si Yue. Cultivate diligently."
Little Lejin blinked. "Mommy, but I want to be with you and my little brother."
This little girl, she's thousands of years old, but she's still like a baby.
However, Wan Jiao felt more tenderness and affection for her. She reached out and gently ruffled Xiao Lejin's hair, "When you have achieved a certain level of cultivation and are able to protect yourself without relying on the Heavenly Book, I will take you with me wherever I go."
Xiao Lejin is very smart.
She knew she was weak and would cause trouble for her mother.
Knowing that using her father's secret book outside would bring endless trouble, she had no choice but to obediently nod, despite her reluctance, "Mother, let's pinky swear."
Wan Jiao: "Okay!"
The mother and daughter hooked their little fingers together.
The scene was exceptionally heartwarming...
To give Xiao Lejin a more suitable identity, Wan Jiao gave her the formal name: Ye Zhao.
To the outside world, she said that she and Ye Jin had adopted her daughter, and she entrusted Si Yue with the entire matter of registering her household registration.
…
When Wan Jiao returned to Mingcheng after dealing with Xiao Lejin's matter, Old Cui and the relevant departments had already cleaned up the mess. Wan Jiao went over to inquire and confirmed that the staff and sisters of the Running Man program were all safe and sound and had returned to the villa. She didn't linger and went back as well.
There's no way around it; once you've taken the money, you have to do your best and not give others anything to criticize you for.
She had just walked out of the haunted house and was trying to find a secluded spot to teleport away when a tall, imposing figure blocked her way.
This person looks familiar.
But Wan Jiao really couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
"Who are you? Do you need something?"
Wan Jiao's tone was icy and very businesslike.
But Li Wen was overjoyed to see her standing in front of him and talking to him.
His eyes and the corners of his mouth were filled with a smile he couldn't even be bothered to hide.
"You heartless woman, don't you remember who I am?" Li Wen's question, asked almost by accident, nearly sent Wan Jiao to her death.
She used to be indifferent to romantic feelings and couldn't quite grasp the nuances of ambiguous relationships, but things are different now. For example, at this moment, she can clearly sense that something is off about Li Wen's words.
How can I describe that feeling?
Yes, it's like there's something unusual about the relationship between her and him.
etc.
She thought she had just seen that he wasn't human.
He wasn't human, and she couldn't discern his identity, so he was...
"I know who you are." Wan Jiao suddenly leaned closer to Li Wen, lowered her voice, and questioned him with an extremely arrogant tone: "Li Wen, how dare you abandon your post as the head of the Seven Kings of Hell in the Underworld?"
If before Li Wen only suspected that Wan Jiao had regained some of the memories belonging to 'Run Ling', now he is almost certain.
Ah, this cunning woman.
"With Hades missing, the Underworld is leaderless. It is only natural for me, as the head of the Seven Kings of Hell, to come out and search for the missing Hades."
As Li Wen spoke, he pulled out a warm ID card that he had just acquired and handed it to Wan Jiao. "Captain, I am Li Wen, the newly arrived deputy captain of the Seventh Team. From now on, I hope you will take good care of me."
Wan Jiao lowered her eyes and glanced at the identification in Li Wen's hand. Sure enough, it was the identification of the deputy captain of the Seventh Team of the Special Security Bureau.
First, he casually and nonchalantly mentioned the search for the missing Hades, and then revealed that he had joined the Special Security Bureau and become the deputy captain of Team Seven.
The disappearance of Pluto could be a big deal or a small one.
This Li Wen is truly cunning and shrewd; his threat was perfectly timed.
Wan Jiao smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Li Wen didn't care. He had already achieved his goal, and the rest... he would have to deal with gradually!
…
Because of this trip to the haunted house in Mingcheng, the popularity of "Running Man" has remained high across all platforms. Even many overseas netizens are paying attention to them.
This is a very good thing for Director Xia.
He saw Wan Jiao coming downstairs and quickly walked over, "Master Wan."
Wan Jiao glanced at Director Xia, then at the staff and sisters who had mostly recovered, and said, "Director Xia, I have something to tell you."
Director Xia nodded and led Wan Jiao to his temporary office. This place wasn't for public broadcasting, so it was perfect for discussing matters and holding meetings.
"Master Wan, please just tell me what's on your mind, and I will definitely..."
Before Director Xia could finish speaking, Wan Jiao interrupted him, "Director Xia, I know it's not appropriate to say I'm quitting Running Man right now, but I do have a lot of things to do."
Even before Wan Jiao said anything, Director Xia had already guessed that she might not want to participate in the show. Indeed, he himself felt that for an outstanding metaphysical master like Wan Jiao, participating in variety shows would be a drain on her.
Now that Jiao has brought it up herself, from a professional standpoint, Director Xia should keep her. From a personal standpoint, he should let her leave. He's caught in a dilemma.
