CHAPTER 426: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 426 RESCUING PEOPLE

Ever since Xia Mian came to the River of Time last time to fetch people, and got the better of Heavenly Dao, recently, Heavenly Dao just didn’t want to see anything about Xia Mian.

But now, Xia Mian’s presence has appeared again in the River of Time!

Heavenly Dao felt a bit uncomfortable inside, what the heck?

Do they think he’s a pushover, coming over to challenge him every now and then?

Though thinking this way, Heavenly Dao truly did not want to continue confronting Xia Mian.

After all, every time he confronted Xia Mian, he lost both his dignity and face.

Whatever Xia Mian wanted to do, he couldn’t stop her!

Xia Mian thought this matter involved Heavenly Dao, but in reality, Heavenly Dao absolutely did not want to have anything to do with her...

Xia Mian investigated inside the River of Time and discovered Ji Chenggong’s soul presence in one small world, and Mrs. Lu’s soul presence in another.

Sure enough, they were placed in the River of Time by someone.

Xia Mian’s expression became a bit grim.

Getting them from the River of Time wasn’t too difficult, but who put these two elderly souls into the River of Time?

This was Xia Mian’s main concern.

If the person behind this wasn’t exposed, such things would keep happening again and again.

Seeing Xia Mian’s serious expression, Lu Zechuan couldn’t help but lightly furrow his brows, "Is this matter troublesome?"

Xia Mian lightly shook her head, "Not too troublesome."

After all, the River of Time already acknowledged her as its master, so entering and leaving was not as dangerous as it initially was.

"Their souls are trapped in the River of Time." Xia Mian said softly, "I can retrieve them once or twice, but if the one manipulating behind the scenes cannot be caught, then this will likely keep happening."

Lu Zechuan lightly furrowed his brow, "Who could it be?"

Xia Mian pursed her lips, "I’ll go fetch them first!"

The two elderly are already advanced in age, they can’t bear too much strain, and if their souls don’t return for long, their physical bodies won’t last.

The urgent task was to save them first, then slowly find out who was causing trouble behind the scenes.

Lu Zechuan looked a bit serious, Xia Mian had already entered and exited the River of Time several times, yet he still worried about her.

After all, within the River of Time, that Heavenly Dao and Xia Mian did have some grudges.

"Be careful." Although Lu Zechuan really wanted to enter the River of Time with Xia Mian, he knew well that he couldn’t offer much help inside.

Xia Mian was the master of the River of Time, and wouldn’t be rejected by it, whereas he was an outsider to the River of Time.

Not only would Heavenly Dao be watching him closely, but the River of Time would also reject him.

"Mm, I’ll be back soon." Xia Mian smiled at Lu Zechuan, comforting him.

Lu Zechuan nodded, "I’ll wait for you."

Xia Mian nodded seriously, then returned to the room, set a barrier, and activated the mark of the River of Time in her mind.

After the River of Time recognizes its master, it can appear wherever Xia Mian wishes it to.

So, even if it’s not in the Mystical World, Xia Mian can summon the River of Time.

However, due to the scarcity of spiritual energy in the current world, the River of Time cannot be sustained for too long.

"Quick in, quick out." Lu Zechuan stood before the River of Time appearing on the wall, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.

Xia Mian made a noise, not talking much about the slight flaw of summoning the River of Time to the present world.

As long as she was fast enough, she should be able to return before the River of Time vanishes.

Xia Mian wasted no more time, turned, and immersed herself into the River of Time.

Mrs. Lu’s soul was trapped in the Republic World.

The body hosting Mrs. Lu’s soul was a young lady from the Republic era.

A young lady from a military family during the Republic period, raised in luxury, pampered and delicate, yet still able to get whatever she wanted in this tumultuous era.

It would be better to say that Mrs. Lu’s soul was trapped here than to say she returned to her younger days.

Mrs. Lu came from a prominent family, and in those war times, she met Old Master Lu. Later, the two went through tough youthful years, starting from scratch and gradually building the Lu Family’s substantial estate.

Old Master Lu passed away early. The biggest regret of Mrs. Lu’s life was not seeing her old man grow old with her.

Now, this regret was realized here.

So later, even if she sensed the oddity of being here, even if she knew it wasn’t the real world, she still hesitated to leave.

The reason is simple; here, there’s the young him.

That memory buried deep in her mind was replaying here.

Xia Mian arrived in this unfamiliar world, looking at the buildings rich in Republic style and those around bustling for a livelihood, her mind in turmoil.

This was a chaotic era, where ordinary people struggled to survive, but Mrs. Lu was immersed here, unwilling to return...

Indeed, as long as you have money, no matter what era, life is good.

Mrs. Lu was indulging in the past, not wanting to return to the present world, but Xia Mian couldn’t let Mrs. Lu remain here.

After all, Mrs. Lu was already elderly, and without any sustenance, her body couldn’t last more than a week.

Thinking this, Xia Mian shouldered her backpack and stepped into the girls’ school ahead.

This was the school the young lady hosting Mrs. Lu’s soul was attending.

The everyday lessons inside were all-encompassing, from physical activities for health to etiquette classes for temperament, as well as various professional skill training.

Mrs. Lu attended the etiquette class, and as a young lady from a military family, she couldn’t lack in temperament.

Xia Mian then followed to the etiquette class to see if she could find a chance to take Mrs. Lu away.

Xia Mian arranged a status for herself equivalent to the young lady hosting Mrs. Lu’s soul, and during class, she deliberately sat next to Mrs. Lu.

When Mrs. Lu noticed Xia Mian, she looked at her twice, feeling that this girl seemed familiar.

Xia Mian didn’t engage much with Mrs. Lu, she came to take her away, yes, but she also wished to respect the rules of this world as much as possible.

Mrs. Lu had a nemesis at school, both being fond of the same man.

Usually, she couldn’t get along with Mrs. Lu in various ways.

After class, when Mrs. Lu went to the bathroom, she would take her group with her to block her.

Although Mrs. Lu’s memory was somewhat confused, she looked down upon such childish antics.
