The seventh day was a big day, Lin Qingyuan didn't let Shang Mingjie stay behind, and even sent away Bai Mei and several maids to rest, leaving only Lin Yuhbin.

  After she put Lin Yuhong to sleep, Lin Qingyan leaned against the pillar and stared at Lin Jiang who was sitting opposite her.

  After this night, Lin Jiang will leave and can only watch them from the upper realm, unable to interfere with the operation of this world again.

  Lin Qingwan found it hard to see each other again before leaving, the two should have had a lot to say, but what they wanted to say, the two had said everything in these six months, and for a moment, they were speechless.

  The sand in the hourglass was about to run out, Lin Qingyuan stepped forward and added oil to the long-life lamp in front of the spirit, then looked at Lin Jiang and said: "Let's go, I'll see you off."

  Lin Jiang stood up and walked out, standing with Lin Qingyuan in the courtyard outside the mourning hall, both of them raising their heads to gaze at the twinkling stars in the sky.

  Lin Qingwan sighed and asked softly: "Will you become a star in the sky?"

  Lin Jiang twitched his mouth and said, "I'm human, those legends are deceiving, don't believe them."

  Lin Qingwan smiled and said with a sigh: "This one farewell, I'm afraid we won't meet again until the day I leave."

  Lin Jiang looked at her seriously and said, "Lin girl, I don't know if I've ever told you, but actually you and my little sister have a lot in common. Several times I even mistook you for my own sister."

  Lin Jiang paused for a moment before saying, "I know that the task I entrusted to you is difficult. This curse was created by the celestial beings of the Upper Realm, and even I, a Golden Immortal, cannot withstand it. It's unfair to place this heavy burden on your shoulders, so don't worry. Even if you ultimately fail to protect Yu Bin, I will come to escort you away."

  Lin Qingwan's face turned serious, and she nodded: "Don't worry, I will keep Yu Bin safe."

  The white-haired old man beside him wanted to speak but stopped, seeing the sky that was originally full of stars gradually gathering a dark cloud, and the wind slowly picking up. He immediately swallowed the words that had reached his lips and stepped forward in a low voice, reminding: "Immortal, it's time, let's go quickly."

  Lin Jiang looked at Lin Qingwan, and Lin Qingwan also stared back at him. Meanwhile, Lin Yubin was also looking in their direction without either of them noticing.

  Of course, she couldn't see her father and Bai Weng, but she could see Xiao Gu facing the empty space in front of her talking, and vaguely heard what she said.

  If others saw her, they would think that Lin Qingwan was heartbroken and talking to herself in the empty space, or that she had hallucinations.

  But Lin Yuhu's intuition told her that Xiaomei had really seen their father.

  On this basis, although she couldn't hear what her little sister said or what her father said, she could still guess roughly. Her eyes were involuntarily red, and her small hands tightly grasped the ones placed beside her, with tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes.

  She bit her lip and tried not to make a sound, watching the empty space with her younger sister, as if they could see people through that vacant place.

  Lin Jiang had already followed Bai Weng to leave when the dark clouds were gathering, and the two slowly rose up, breaking through the barrier of this world after leaving Lin Qingyuan's line of sight.

  Lin Qingwan lifted her head to watch them leave, watching the dark clouds gather and slowly disperse in the sky, the covered stars reappeared, a gentle breeze blew over, blowing the white flags hanging in front of the spirit hall fluttering, the lamp fire in the house trembled, but under Lin Qingwan's gaze it did not go out, after that gust of wind passed, it reignited and had a tendency to burn brighter.

  Although it was a very terrifying scene, Lin Qingwan saw the helplessness and compromise of the heavenly way in it, and there wasn't even a bit of fear in her heart.

  Lin Qingwan smiled and lit three incense sticks for Lin Jiang, then added some lamp oil to the Longming lamp before sitting cross-legged on the mat without moving.

  Lin Yuhbin had already closed his eyes, but still secretly opened a slit to look at him. Seeing the little girl's continuous movements, he couldn't help but glance out at the empty sky. Had Father left?

  Is he going to reincarnate, or will he be watching over them from heaven, or is he coming back?

  Lin Jiang had returned to the Upper Realm with Bai Weng, but he didn't go back. Instead, he found a secluded spot and asked Bai Weng to take out the Celestial Mirror to show him Lin Qingyuan's situation.

  Bai Weng twitched his mouth and said: "Upper Immortal, the Sky Observing Mirror isn't used like this, it's very costly in terms of magical power, only to be used at critical moments..."

  Lin Jiang quietly watched him, the pressure gradually increasing, and he calmly said: "If that's the case, then use magic, but it's just a small world of divination, you're a heavenly immortal, you won't even know how to do this, right?"

  Bai Weng sensitively perceived the change in Lin Jiang, his eyes widened incredulously. Could it be that he had started to recover his memories even before returning to his true body, just by leaving the small world?

  Lin Jiang squinted his eyes at Bai Weng and said, "What, won't you?"

  "Indeed, indeed," the old man hastily nodded and said: "It is indeed possible, but you are not looking at it for just one or two days, but rather for several years. During this period, the amount of spiritual energy that will be consumed..."

  Lin Jiang furrowed his brow and said: "I'll give you a few more bottles of that Restoring Yuan Dan?"

  A few bottles...

  Bai Weng nodded in confirmation, Lin Jiang had not recovered his memory. He quickly collected the expression on his face and said solemnly: "Don't worry, senior, I will do my best."

  Lin Jiang nodded in satisfaction and added a bit more politeness towards Bai Weng, "Thank you."

  Bai Weng finally found Lin Jiang's feeling again, and thought for a moment before saying in a low voice: "Immortal, I wanted to say this earlier when we were down there. The curse is centered around you, the more you resist it, the stronger it becomes. So you think changing Miss Yuhin's fate is difficult, but replacing her with someone else would be different, not to mention Lin girl is still a direct descendant of Miss Yuhin, making things even easier."

  He didn't mention these things, and Lin Jiang would know them once he regained his memory, so he told him early on to avoid being held accountable by the Upper Immortal after he recovered his memories.

  Lin Jiang heard this and didn't regret it, instead he became excited and said to Lin Qingyan, "So that means her chances of success are even higher than I thought?"

  Bai Weng was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly in response to him.

  Lin Jiang burst out laughing, his temperament instantly changing from indifference to warmth, and the pressure on Bai Weng's body eased a lot. He couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  One immortal and one soul stayed on this side, watching the small world projected by the spell, while time in the small world flew rapidly as they broke through the barrier to find a foothold. Lin Jiang's funeral had already ended, and Lin Qingwen had sent away all those who came to mourn, wanting to take Lin Yuhong back to his hometown with the coffin.

  As for this mansion, Lin Qingyuan only left two households to take care of it and have them manage the yard.

  This was bestowed by the emperor, it's not good to sell it.

  Lin Run and three old men, as well as Lin Yong's father and son, together with the Shang family brothers, the servants of the Lin mansion, a large group of people left Yangzhou for Suzhou.

  Many people have come to see them off, now that the autumn harvest is over and they have some surplus grain at home. At this time, everyone remembers the grain that Lin's house released when there was a shortage of food in the spring.

  Those grains helped them get through the most difficult times, so they wouldn't have to sell their children or let the elderly starve to death, and thus avoid family breakdown.

  In comparison, Lin Jiang's forced military taxation in spring was nothing worth mentioning.

  After all, it's not something Lord Lin can decide on his own, he is also carrying out the policies of the imperial court.

  The poorer the people, the more they remembered this kindness, so when they heard that the Lin family was returning to their hometown, everyone brought dry food from various towns and villages to see them off.

  Lin Qingyan had just left the city when she encountered a wave of people walking together, and was momentarily stunned.

  Lin Guan's eyes were slightly red as he stepped forward to report: "Young mistress, they've all come to see off the old master. I heard there are still many more people on their way here."

  Lin Qingwan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let everyone slow down."

  She said softly: "Having traveled such a long way to get here, I should at least let them take a look or it would be a pity."

  Lin Guan's family should go down and instruct.

  The Lin family's convoy gradually slowed down and moved forward slowly. The people who came after saw the convoy and knelt down to bid farewell one after another.

  Lin Qingwan pulled Lin Yubin out of the car and bowed to thank them. The people opposite saw their mouths move, and they deeply nodded their heads.

  The aunt and niece didn't get back in the car, but instead walked alongside the motorcade, waving to the people around them.

  More and more people joined the farewell procession, and the two sisters continued to return their gifts until they walked three miles away. The entourage stopped only when no one else was added, and the two sisters finally returned a gift to everyone before getting into the car and leaving.

  Lin Yuhong walked so far for the first time, sweating profusely and feeling physically exhausted. She should have felt very uncomfortable, but she was actually very happy inside.

  "Little aunt, have those people come to see Father off?"

  Lin Qingwan nodded, "Your father is a good official."

  Lin Yuhuan's eyes sparkled, "I know, Father is just like our great-grandfather."

  The sadness in his heart decreased a lot, Lin Yubin became happy, "Tonight we will recite scriptures and pray for Father, tell him all these things, I think he will be very happy when he knows."

  "Good!"

  The convoy traveled slowly and failed to reach the relay station, so they had to camp outdoors. Lin Yubin solemnly burned the handwritten scriptures, knelt before the spirit tablet and whispered to his father, "Dad, I know everything now, you didn't leave but are watching over us."

  Lin Yuhong looked around and said in an even softer voice: "I also know that Little Sister can see you, Father. Can you show yourself to me too?"

  Lin Jiang, who was gazing at her from above, glanced at Bai Weng.

  "Absolutely not, Upper Immortal. We'll be struck by lightning if we do. Even if we're no longer in that world, it will find a way to track us down. And even if it can't find us, it will still hold Miss Yuhin accountable."

  With Lin Yuhuan's physical body and that curse, if he is really remembered by the Heavenly Dao, I'm afraid he won't live for three breaths.

  Lin Jiang's gaze fell back in disappointment.

  Lin Yuhu waited for a long time, but didn't see her father appear, and couldn't help feeling disappointed. She looked up at the stars in the sky, after the seventh day of mourning, her younger sister also stopped talking to the empty space, was it that Father would never come back again, could only watch over them from heaven like her younger sister said?

  So it's not that he doesn't want to show up, but rather can't?

  "Yu Fan, come and have your meal," Lin Qingwen stood beside the car and beckoned to her: "After finishing your meal, go and recite scriptures for your father, hurry up."

  "Oh." Lin Yuheng quickly got up and reunited with Yingyan behind him before returning to the horse carriage.

  The kitchen maid had already prepared dinner, a bowl of small noodles, topped with a layer of green vegetables and an egg, the amount was tailored to Lin Yuhong's appetite, which didn't seem like much.

  She and her sister-in-law are in mourning, at least three months during which they cannot eat meat. Lin Yuhbin also doesn't like to eat meat, so he didn't feel uncomfortable with this change.

  It's just Lin Qingyuan who suffered.

  Of course, because Wan Jie also doesn't like eating meat that much, so she's... very calm, can only be calm.

  Lin Qingwan bit into her greens and thought that she and Lin Jiang had gone through all sorts of hardships, but never thought they'd have to give up eating meat.
