"Wanwan, why are you back?"
Lai Fu shouted in surprise.
Lin Wanyue looked at Laifu with a smile and noticed that the dense black aura around him seemed to have diminished considerably, which she found rather strange.
“I missed you all, so I came back to see you… Where did you go just now?” Lin Wanyue asked.
Before leaving, Lin Wanyue entrusted Lai Fu and Hu Jiuyuan to protect the Lin family.
Back when I was still alive, Laifu would spend almost every day sunbathing on the roof of the Lin family's house, eating candy and not going anywhere.
But now that I'm back, none of the ghosts in the house are there, and even Lin Xiangwu, who always stayed by my grandmother's side, is not at the Lin family home.
Lin Wanyue had some uneasy thoughts, wondering if they were all going to abandon the Lin family.
But Laifu doesn't seem like that at all; instead, he seems more sunny and cheerful.
Laifu came over with a grin, and even reached out to hug Lin Wanyue.
But Lin Wanyue still kicked him away without any mercy: "Don't come any closer, I don't want to keep having bad luck."
"Hahaha! Wanwan, I just wanted to show you that I'm not so unlucky anymore, am I?" Laifu spun around triumphantly, and then his clothes accidentally touched Lin Diaodiao, who was lying on top of Lin Wanyue.
Lin Diaodiao lost her grip and fell to the ground with a 'thud'.
Lin Diao Diao: (▼へ▼メ)
It turned its face and made a contemptuous expression with its small, beady green eyes.
"Uh..." Laifu could only cough awkwardly twice: "This, this was an accident! Didn't you just ask me where I went? I went to the city with the General to deal with other ghosts!"
“Wanwan, you don’t know, ever since you left, some evil spirits in the capital have started to cause trouble. The general was afraid that they would harm the people, so he took me and Lao Hu to drive away those bad ghost leaders… I found that since we did this, I’ve had much less bad luck. I’m so happy now.”
Lin Wanyue was somewhat surprised to hear this. She hadn't expected that even an unlucky guy like Laifu could change his bad luck by doing a lot of good deeds.
Indeed, doing good deeds and accumulating good karma is beneficial.
Just like when she was punished to suffer in the mortal world, she inadvertently prevented a potential war and even saved countless lives by eliminating the root cause of the turmoil that could have led to the downfall of the Great Yan Dynasty, the eldest prince Qi Xiao.
Her tiny mistake seemed insignificant compared to such immense merit.
That's why her father was able to bring her back to heaven so easily, and no other gods dared to say a word.
…
In the afternoon, Lin Weiming also received the news and hurriedly ran home with his eldest son, who had rushed back from the Hanlin Academy.
Lin Weiming hugged Lin Wanyue and cried loudly, "Daughter, you're finally back! I missed you so much! I thought you didn't want us anymore."
“Little sister, your family misses you very much. This time… could you stay a little longer?” Lin Zhongyuan looked at her, his eyes also a little red.
Lin Zhongyuan is only seventeen years old now, just the age when he has grown up. His beautiful figure is like a tall and handsome sapling, and his fair face has a touch of gentleness and refinement.
Lin Wanyue was a little out of breath from Lin Weiming's embrace. She struggled to break free and thought for a moment before answering her elder brother: "Okay, I can stay a few more days! Brother, your clothes are really nice, they make you look so energetic."
Lin Zheyun chuckled and said, "Brother, you're wearing the robes of a Hanlin scholar. How could you not look good? I'll never have the chance to wear one in my life."
Lin Wanyue only found out after asking that her older brother had failed the exam the year before last, but he persevered the following year and actually became the top scholar.
It was at that time that Master Cui, having fulfilled his lifelong wish, voluntarily followed the underworld messengers down to the underworld.
Lin Zhongyuan was heartbroken for a long time. After passing the exam, he was assigned by His Majesty to the Hanlin Academy, where most of the newly appointed Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) worked. He could only force himself to work hard.
At this point, Lin Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wanwan, now that you're back, do you want to go see His Majesty? His Majesty still talks about you, and the Regent has mentioned you a few times as well."
Thinking of her godfather and Brother Yuan, Lin Wanyue also felt that she missed them, so she nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll go see them tomorrow!"
However, before the next day, while the Lin family was having dinner, someone knocked on their door.
Lin Zheyun was the fastest runner, so he was naturally assigned to go and see what was going on.
"Your Majesty? Regent, why are you so late?" Lin Zheyun asked the question, then realized he had asked something unnecessary.
That must be because His Majesty and the Regent found out about their sister's return!
It's also his fault; he shouted loudly at the door, so someone must have heard him.
In the past two years, the Regent and His Majesty have not blamed the Lin family for Lin Wanyue's departure, and have continued to promote members of the Lin family. Now, not only has the eldest brother, Lin Zhongyuan, entered the Hanlin Academy and obtained an official position, but Lin Weiming's position in the Ministry of Rites has also been promoted two ranks, making many people in the family envious.
But there's nothing that can be done; His Majesty and the Regent simply dote on the Lin family.
Regent Qi Sichen smiled at Lin Zheyun: "I heard your sister returned tonight? His Majesty insisted on coming to see her. I hope we didn't disturb you."
"Your Highness, you're too kind! My sister was just saying she wanted to visit you tomorrow," Lin Zheyun said with a smile.
Qi Yuan strode into the dining room and saw Lin Wanyue sitting next to Liu Junlan. She looked just like she did two years ago, with a soft, fair face and beautiful, curved eyes that seemed to be filled with stars, almost overflowing.
He! She's still so beautiful and adorable.
It's exactly the same as when she left two years ago.
Qi Yuan didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
He has grown up a lot now and is no longer as sickly as he was two or three years ago. As a result, he has grown much taller and is gradually taking on the appearance of an adult.
But she was still so small...
The age gap between them is getting bigger and bigger!
What was never a strong possibility to begin with has now become like a candle on a table that could be blown out at any moment.
"Brother Yuan, what's wrong?" Lin Wanyue couldn't help but ask, seeing Qi Yuan's increasingly crumbling expression.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but say, "How come you still look exactly the same as before? Doesn't that make me look much older than you?"
