Chapter 146 Go back and take a look, so what?
"The affairs of Fengdu must not be spread outside."
"Also, please convey this message to my young friend Lin..."
"I...I'm not going back..."
After the Celestial Venerable left, the Emperor of Fengdu spoke in a muffled voice devoid of emotion.
Only Li Jie noticed the pain in his eyes.
After all, being separated from one's child by death is a painful experience for anyone.
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
"Okay...I understand..."
"What's wrong with going back and taking a look?"
While everyone remained silent, Li Jie looked at the Emperor of Fengdu and said softly.
"I can't look, and I dare not look. I'm afraid... if I look, I won't be able to leave..."
"But I wonder how my young friend Li Jie knew where I was going?"
Um.......
Upon hearing this, Li Jie shook his head, not continuing the conversation with the Emperor of Fengdu, but instead continued speaking on his own.
"Can you please stop putting so much pressure on yourself?"
"What, after reincarnation and merging memories, you don't even care about your family anymore?"
"Enma is dead, so there's no rush to deal with the rest."
"Why not just find a reason to turn them away?"
"........."
Even the Emperor of Fengdu hesitated. After thinking for a while, he spoke with suspicion.
"Is this really possible?"
"It's fine. I'll stay in Fengdu until you come back, so you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Fengdu quickly waved his hand in refusal.
Are you kidding me? You want Li Jie to guard this place?
If that brat were to create another hole in the sky, letting the scorching sunlight into the ghost realm, then most of these wandering souls would be beyond saving.
"There's no need for that, young friend Li Jie. I'll go out with you..."
..........
Conditions in Anta County were indeed a bit harsh, Li Jie leaned against a pine tree covered in snow.
She stared blankly at the middle-aged man walking towards the collapsing hotel.
In fact, Li Deyang is now a little confused about whether he is still the same guardian deity of Anta County as before.
He had already gotten quite close, but then he started to have second thoughts.
Left with no other choice, Li Jie had to ask Lin Qiye and the others to accompany him inside.
Was it to give him courage?
"Aren't you going to go?"
Xian'er floated out from Li Jie's dantian, leaned against him, and asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Li Jie shook his head.
"There's no need for that. The more people show up, the more suspicious Uncle Li's father will become."
"fool...."
"Ok?"
"Actually, you're afraid of saying the wrong thing, aren't you...?"
"Why do you say that?"
"If you were there, you might just ruin the warm atmosphere with just a few words..."
"Am I that scary?"
"Have."
"........."
Hearing this, Li Jie's face became even more embarrassed. Who said I couldn't speak properly?
Even if someone is terrible at talking, can they be as witty as that chubby kid?
Hum~!
You all just don't understand me!
Inside, there was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Li Jie looked at the thin film covering the window fluttering in the strong wind and shook his head with a smile.
He then turned and walked into the mountains and forests.
Aren't you going to say goodbye?
Xian'er quickly caught up with Li Jie, who was braving the snow, and asked him with great interest.
Upon hearing this, Li Jie tightened his cloak and replied calmly.
"I have already said goodbye to them."
"And...we will meet again someday."
.......
Inside the hotel, the old man warmly invited Lin Qiye and the others to eat dumplings.
While dealing with the enthusiastic Old Man Li, Fatty whispered a question in Lin Qiye's ear.
"Shall we just leave Brother Lei out here all by himself?"
Upon hearing the question, Lin Qiye replied calmly.
"He left already."
"gone?!"
With those words, he completely shattered the warm atmosphere in the room...
"Um...it's okay, it's okay, everyone eat and drink well!"
He first awkwardly greeted everyone, then whispered a question in Lin Qiye's ear.
"Really gone? We barely even exchanged a few words..."
He said, "We'll meet again someday..."
"But...my dad's birthday banquet is coming up soon...I was hoping to invite him to Guangzhou or Shenzhen..."
A birthday banquet?
Fatty didn't lower his voice intentionally, and everyone present heard him clearly.
Realizing he'd said something wrong again, the chubby boy gave an awkward smile and went back to struggling with the dumplings in his bowl...
.........
After saying goodbye to Li Deyang and his two grandsons.
Lin Qiye and the others had one more thing to do: go to the Night Watchmen's camp in Anta County to inform them of Li Deyang's 'death'.
As a member of the Night Watch squad stationed at the northernmost edge of Great Xia, Chen Han had long wanted to say goodbye to this godforsaken place.
He had already drafted his transfer application and was just waiting for Captain Li to come back and sign it.
However, instead of waiting for Li Deyang to return safely, he received a heartbreaking message that he refused to believe.
"This can't be true, you must be lying to me!"
Seeing that he was losing control of his emotions, Lin Qiye did not intend to say anything more. He simply showed his straight sword and emblem, and Chen Han lost all hope of being transferred.
After confirming Li Deyang's 'death', he sat down beside the stove with lifeless eyes, staring at the flickering flames inside, remaining silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye spoke softly.
"Uncle Li also said that you helped him use all those 'treasured' items in his drawer."
After saying that, he led everyone outside without any hesitation.
It wasn't until the heavy sound of the door closing that Chen Han finally came to her senses.
He walked listlessly to his desk and opened the second drawer.
He pulled out a cigarette rolled from old newspapers from the rusty iron box.
He picked up the A4 paper from the table and walked back to the stove.
He first picked up a piece of red-hot coal and lit a cigarette, then expressionlessly stuffed the A4 sheet of paper into the stove.
Wisps of smoke drifted from his mouth.
Chen Han took a deep breath and couldn't help but cough violently.
As he coughed, tears seemed to involuntarily slide down his cheeks.
"Uncle Li... your taste... cough cough... it's really not very good..."
........
On the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, high in the mountains, Li Deyang, dressed in a black royal robe, first glanced at the grandfather and grandson who were walking away into the distance, and then looked in the direction of the Anta County government.
His consciousness involuntarily drifted out, and when he saw the burning application for transfer, an ugly smile appeared on his lips.
"Kid, from now on, things in Anta County... are counting on you..."
"But don't worry... your Uncle Li will always protect you..."
