CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 428: DOUBTS

But, evidently, Mrs. Lu believed it.

Not only did she believe it, but she also became somewhat flustered.

The feeling of being out of place here grew stronger.

"Come with me, and I can guarantee you’ll have longevity, live as long as you want." Xia Mian’s voice had a few threads of enchantment, falling into Mrs. Lu’s ears.

Xia Mian intentionally tried to confuse people, how could ordinary people resist?

Immediately, Mrs. Lu’s mind became a bit muddled, "I’ll go with you."

Xia Mian smiled, "That’s more like it~"

Xia Mian took Mrs. Lu and immediately left this turbulent era.

She feared that if she was a moment late, Mrs. Lu would have second thoughts!

From the shadows, the Heavenly Dao disdainfully pursed its lips. This little girl was quite scared of him. Just look at her running speed, as if dogs were chasing her!

Xia Mian brought Mrs. Lu’s soul back to the Lu Family. In the Lu Family’s room, Lu Zechuan watched Xia Mian emerge from the River of Time, and the heart he was holding finally settled back in his chest.

Xia Mian didn’t waste words with Lu Zechuan, "Go to grandmother’s room."

Helping people settle their souls was not a first for Xia Mian. Very quickly, she reinstalled Mrs. Lu’s soul back into her body.

It wasn’t long after the soul body returned to its place that Mrs. Lu finally awoke.

Looking at everything in front of her, Mrs. Lu felt both familiar and strange.

The memories of that segment in the Republic, felt like a dream, yet not a dream.

She remembered them vividly.

However, since Xia Mian said that old guy in that world was a jerk, he must indeed be a jerk. She’d still come back to this world, and burn some paper money for her husband who died young!

Mrs. Lu woke up, but her body was still very weak. Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan didn’t stay long in Mrs. Lu’s room. Before leaving, Xia Mian gave Mrs. Lu a piece of jade, which carried her aura.

As long as someone with ill intentions approached Mrs. Lu, she would be able to sense it immediately.

Mrs. Lu was getting on in years and couldn’t handle being tormented like this repeatedly.

After settling Mrs. Lu’s affairs, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan called Ji Hua, asking them to arrange the old man’s discharge from the hospital and his return to the Ji Family.

After a brief explanation to the Ji Family, they were all dumbfounded.

Initially, they thought the old man was just a bit weak after going missing, not realizing his soul had been hooked away!

Not only hooked away, but taken to another world?!

If it weren’t for Xia Mian saying in person that she saw the Ji Family old man’s soul in another world, they would sincerely believe it was pure fantasy.

Of course, they had absolute trust in Xia Mian’s words, so without saying another word, they arranged the old man’s discharge.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan arrived at the Ji Family mansion almost at the same time as the Ji Family members.

Both sides didn’t engage in much pleasantries. Xia Mian instructed the Ji Family to quickly settle the old man before coming to see her.

The Ji Family worked efficiently, and ten minutes later, Ji Changlong and the other three brothers, along with Ji Hua, came to see Xia Mian.

"I’ll go bring back the old man’s soul." After Xia Mian finished speaking, she asked Ji Hua to arrange a quiet room for her.

She then summoned the River of Time again, entering it to search for the Ji Family old man.

Compared to Mrs. Lu, the Ji Family old man had more attachments to people and things in the present world. Realizing he was out of place in his environment, he had already grown some skepticism.

After Xia Mian appeared, the Ji Family old man felt an inexplicable closeness to her.

So, whatever Xia Mian said, he believed, making it easy to bring the Ji Family old man back.

After bringing back the Ji Family old man’s soul, Xia Mian returned it to him.

The Ji Family old man also slowly awoke.

Upon seeing Xia Mian, the Ji Family old man’s eyes instantly filled with excited light.

Miss Xia had saved him once again!

If Xia Mian had arrived just a bit later, he would have died under the bullets of the warlords!

Dying in that world, his soul would also have dissipated immediately.

"The old man’s body is still weak, he needs to rest well." Xia Mian nodded slightly toward Ji Chenggong, also leaving a piece of jade by his side.

The Ji Family expressed another wave of deep gratitude and thanks.

When Xia Mian took her leave, the family escorted the two to the gate.

As the car drove away, Xia Mian’s expression was somewhat complicated.

Opening the Two Realms Channel and acting as a go-between in both realms was something she had started on a whim.

But now, it’s clear someone has taken advantage of her loophole.

Moreover, she was clearly short on manpower, needing to bring in some people from the Divine Clan.

And the situation with Yukun Mountain, she also needed to send someone over to inquire.

Seeing Xia Mian deep in thought, Lu Zechuan’s brow also furrowed slightly, "Send someone to check the Mystical World?"

Xia Mian mused for a moment, "Let’s wait for Ling Fei and the others to return this time."

Currently, they were short on manpower by their side.

If the two of them also left the present world, their people could only wait to die if they encountered trouble again.

Lu Zechuan responded with a hum.

Worried that something might happen at the Lu Family again, Lu Zechuan, and Xia Mian didn’t return to their Riverfront Villa but returned to the Lu Family’s old house.

On the night they returned to the Lu Family’s old house, Xia Mian instructed Shu Dao Temple to visit Yukun Mountain.

For now, with her and Lu Zechuan holding the fort, no major issues would arise at the Lu Family.

But the situation with Yukun Mountain left Xia Mian feeling uncertain.

Initially, Xia Mian concocted things, becoming their Grand Ancestor, but Su Yu and Qin Xiang had no doubts about her, even sending Shu Dao Mountain and Shu Dao Temple to accompany her to the present world and assist her.

Therefore, if Yukun Mountain really encountered trouble, she wouldn’t sit idly by.

Meng Meng, targeted by the Beast Taming Clan, nearly faced danger, and Shu Dao Temple worried something might happen to Yukun Mountain, so after Xia Mian assigned him the task, he rose without a word and returned to the Mystical World.

Now, with Xia Mian possessing the Space-Time Gate, traveling between the two realms was no longer a difficult task.

After Shu Dao Temple left, Meng Meng seemed a bit down. Truth be told, she also missed her parents a bit.

Especially when bullied, the longing for her parents grew stronger.

Xia Mian gently hugged her, "Miss home?"

Meng Meng looked up, "Mm."

Though in this world, there were people who loved and protected her, and friends to play with, she still occasionally thought of her parents.

"In a while, I’ll take you back for a visit," Xia Mian said softly.

Lu Zechuan’s grandfather returned to the Mystical World, saying he’s arranging their wedding in the Mystical World. By then, they’ll take Meng Meng and Fu Zhou to be flower children at their wedding.

Meng Meng’s eyes lit up immediately, "Really?"

Xia Mian gently tapped her little nose, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Meng Meng was visibly happier, a smile spreading across her face, "I knew it, you’re the best, sis!"
