Princess Lianchun quickly followed, leaving only the Yin Cha who guided her here standing in place, scratching his head in confusion, "Is there sothing special about that mark?"
Unable to figure it out, he decided not to think about it any further.
The Iron-Faced Judge took Princess Lianchun to a water mirror.
"This mirror is called the Mirror of Past Lives. As long as you enter it, you can obtain the mories of this lifeti, the past life, and all your lives. However, this only applies to dead souls. You are currently a living soul, so I need to seal off your mories of past reincarnations. You can only retrieve the mories lost from this life!"
Princess Lianchun nodded. She only wanted this life’s mories and wasn’t interested in the mories of her past lives.
"Thank you, Judge," she said.
"No need for thanks, go on in!" With that, the Iron-Faced Judge waved his sleeve over the mirror, creating a ripple that seed to open a door inviting Princess Lianchun to enter.
Without hesitation, Princess Lianchun approached the mirror and stepped in!
Seeing her enter, the Iron-Faced Judge turned and went to another great hall where King Qin Guang was half-reclining on a bone throne, nursing his injuries.
Yes, King Qin Guang was recuperating. Soti ago, he sensed that person’s aura, so he dug out half a heart and created a clone to search for her in the mortal world.
"Master, I have an important matter to report!"
The Iron-Faced Judge stood at the hall’s entrance, cupping his hands respectfully.
"I have already ordered, unless it’s a major issue, do not disturb . All affairs of this palace are entrusted to you," King Qin Guang said, leaning on the throne, squinting at the Iron-Faced Judge standing at the door.
"If I may, Master, this matter involves a certain mark that I believe would interest you."
"Oh?"
"Please look, Master!" The Iron-Faced Judge extended his hand to manifest a mark, which flickered and disappeared before taking shape. But King Qin Guang was already excited.
"Where... Where did you see this mark?"
He stepped down from the throne in a few strides, approaching the Iron-Faced Judge and asking.
"In response, Master, this mark appeared on the palm of a living soul. She said it was drawn by soone nad Suisui," he explained all at once.
King Qin Guang hastily inquired, "Where is that living soul now? Why is there a living soul in our Underworld?"
The Iron-Faced Judge quickly replied: "Master, the living soul lost her mories from the mortal world and ca to the Underworld to find them."
Hearing this, King Qin Guang furrowed his brow.
"How could a living soul co to the Underworld? Crossing the Wangchuan River alone would turn the soul into a remnant."
"Master, the reason this living soul safely reached the Naihe Bridge is that she was under the protection of the Wangchuan’s master, allowing her to co this far."
"Ah Ling protected her here, I see. Ah Ling was subdued by her, and whenever she descends to the realm, Ah Ling will surely find a way to locate her."
"Sub... Subdue Ah Ling? Master, who is this person to elicit such excitent from you, and this mark—even looking at it makes uneasy.
It’s not just unease; it also makes feel awe, as if I should worship, too intimidated to resist!"
In front of King Qin Guang, the Iron-Faced Judge laid out his feelings candidly, and only after speaking did he breathe a sigh of relief.
King Qin Guang looked up, gazing at the gray sky. In the Underworld, there is no sunlight, but there is a boundary between heaven and earth.
"Have you made arrangents for that living soul?"
Once asked, the Iron-Faced Judge imdiately responded, "It’s already arranged. She should co out in about two more hours."
"When she cos out, find out which realm she is from and what connection she has with the one who drew that mark for her."
"Yes!"
King Qin Guang waved his hand, dismissing him.
The Iron-Faced Judge hurried to leave, standing guard in front of the Mirror of Past Lives, waiting for Princess Lianchun to erge.
King Qin Guang continued to look up at the gray sky.
He murmured, "If I’m not mistaken, you are in the Profound Celestial Realm, aren’t you?"
In front of the Nine-Tiered Pagoda, Xiaosuisui let out another big sneeze.
Ji Youyuan heard it and didn’t even bother to check her pulse.
"Just how long are you going to keep sneezing?
Your uncle just fell asleep, and you’ve already woken him up!"
Xiaosuisui pouted, rubbed her nose, and helplessly said, "I don’t know what’s going on either.
I just keep sneezing easily, though I’m not sick, and haven’t you been checking my pulse all along, Uncle?"
Xiaosuisui tilted her head in thought and asked Ji Youyuan, "Hey! Uncle, do you think it’s because Grandma and the others miss too much, that they keep talking about , and that’s why I keep sneezing?"
