Time flies, and no matter how reluctant Lin Wanyue was to part with her relatives and friends in this era, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon it was time to say goodbye.
Lin Wanyue was carrying a package almost as big as herself, while Lin Yanping, standing behind her, was carrying even more. These were gifts from the Lin family, as well as Qi Yuan and Qi Sichen.
Qi Yuan packed up all the novel trinkets from the Manufacturing Department and gave them to her. Qi Sichen didn't have much experience in giving gifts, but with a wave of his hand, he packed up all the precious jewelry he had accumulated in his private treasury over the years and gave it to Lin Wanyue.
Lin Wanyue found it difficult to refuse them, so she accepted them all.
When they left, Lin Wanyue and the Lin family were all in tears, but Qi Yuan, the only one who didn't have the surname Lin, was the one who cried the most.
His cries were deafening, drawing attention from the Lin family.
Lin Weiming held his daughter tightly, refusing to let go. After crying for a while, he wiped away his tears and said, "Daughter, why don't you take me with you? I'll go to heaven with you and become an immortal!"
Everyone present: "..."
You're really dreaming, aren't you?
Lin Yanping glanced at Lin Weiming with some surprise, wondering how this guy could have such a thick skin.
If everyone in the world knew to use his shamelessness to block the city wall, then there would truly be no war and the world would be at peace.
Lin Wanyue politely declined, saying, "That might be a bit difficult..."
Liu Junlan grabbed her embarrassing son and said irritably, "What are you thinking? You're such a grown man, and you're crying even harder than your son. Is that proper? Wanwan is going to heaven to live a good life. It's not like she's never coming back. Hurry up and wipe your tears."
"Mom, how can you bear this? This is my daughter! I raised her with great difficulty. When you first brought her home, she was so short, and now she's grown so tall... How can you take my daughter away like this?" Lin Weiming refused to let go and continued to wail.
Liu Junlan was worried that Lin Weiming would delay Lin Wanyue's ascension to heaven, so she called out to the butler Wang Youcai behind her, "Drag him away! Don't let him get in the way here."
"Yes, Madam, I'm coming right away!" Wang Youcai quickly brought two old women and dragged Lin Weiming aside. Afraid of offending anyone, he quickly brought over a stool and water.
Finally, they managed to pull the people apart, and Lin Yanping and Lin Wanyue both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Wanyue suddenly felt a fluffy tail touch her wrist. She looked down and saw Lin Diaodiao climbing up her skirt.
Lin Diao Diao stared at it with its pair of dark eyes, its little tail swaying back and forth.
"Can I take it with me? It's very light." Lin Wanyue looked at Lin Diaodiao's pitiful little appearance and felt very reluctant to part with it.
She understood the rules of heaven; she couldn't just take anyone up there.
But Lin Diao Diao is different; it's just a pet, and he can hide it in his sleeve at any time so that other gods won't find it.
Lin Yanping said calmly, "It was originally yours; it just came down with you."
"?" Lin Wanyue was a little confused. Could it be that her father meant that Lin Diaodiao was originally following her in the sky?
But she has no memory of being in the sky, so she doesn't know what's going on. She just happily raised her hand, and Lin Diaodiao climbed up her arm and onto her shoulder, wrapping around her like a small scarf.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Lin Yanping lightly tapped his hand, and a thick mist rose from beneath their feet.
Lin Yanping lifted Lin Wanyue into his arms, and the two of them soared into the air, the clouds drifting beneath their feet. The people still standing on the ground grew smaller and smaller, and the entire capital city shrank further and further in their view, gradually being obscured by the clouds.
"Dad, where is this? What are we doing here?" Lin Wanyue looked around curiously and found that it was a very tall and large mountain.
But it doesn't seem to be in the sky.
Lin Yanping said, "This is Mount Tai. There is still one thing you haven't returned."
"You mean the Soul-Summoning Bell?" Upon hearing the name Mount Tai, Lin Wanyue suddenly thought of the underworld and exclaimed in realization.
Lin Yanping nodded.
The Lord of Mount Tai is the true ruler of the underworld, and even the Ten Kings of Hell must submit to him.
Not long after Lin Yanping and Lin Wanyue landed on Mount Tai, a very dignified-looking man appeared before them.
"What brings you here? It's been many years since we last met," the man greeted Lin Yanping.
Lin Yanping replied, "I came here to take my daughter back. She received something from your underworld and came here specifically to return it to you."
"Oh~ this is your daughter?" The man then turned to look at the little girl he was holding. "What is she?"
Lin Wanyue quickly pulled out the soul-summoning bell that Uncle Black and White Impermanence had given her from her sleeve.
The man's lips twitched when he saw the tiny thing: "This kind of little thing can be kept for my niece, why did you have to come all the way here in person?"
Lin Yanping shook his head and said, "It's just a small thing to you, but it's a very precious help to my daughter here. We should thank them."
Upon hearing this, the man beckoned to the little ghost behind him, ordering someone to investigate the owner of the soul-summoning bell.
While on official business in another region, the Black and White Impermanence suddenly found themselves traveling a thousand miles a day and were summoned before the Lord of Mount Tai. They were so terrified that their souls nearly left their bodies, and they dared not even look up at him.
"Is this yours?" the Lord of Mount Tai asked in a majestic voice.
Only then did the Black and White Impermanence cautiously raise their heads and see Lin Wanyue being held in the arms of an old man.
Lin Wanyue gave them a sweet smile, blinked, and said, "Don't you recognize me, Uncle Black and White Impermanence? I'm going back now, I'll return this to you."
Black and White Impermanence quickly nodded, "Reporting to our lord..."
"Take it back." The Lord of Mount Tai made his decision coldly before they could finish speaking.
Black and White Impermanence dared not say anything more and quickly packed up their things to leave.
They were both surprised and astonished. Lin Wanyue's background was even more impressive than they had imagined, as she was even connected with the Lord of Mount Tai.
It's important to understand that the underworld and heaven are not entirely part of the same system. The gods in heaven are in heaven, and the gods in the underworld are in the underworld, but they are not entirely under each other's jurisdiction.
The Lord of Mount Tai and the one in the heavens are equally matched.
And now this person is actually the Lord of Mount Tai himself coming out to meet her. Could it be that Lin Wanyue has some connection with that person in heaven?
The Black and White Impermanence couldn't understand it, but Lin Wanyue stuffed several large gift packages into their arms, saying, "Consider these as a thank you for your help."
"Thank you, thank you..." Black and White Impermanence immediately accepted the gifts, feeling flattered.
