Chapter 384: Chapter 384: The Final Guard_1
Lu Yimin sighed deeply, unsure whether to feel joy or sorrow.
Qin Sisi reminded him from the side, "You should have also noticed, they are now students at the city’s first middle school."
Lu Yimin nodded with a bitter smile, "I noticed."
The two people he had been desperately pursuing, who haunted his dreams, were actually very close to him. To him, was this trick of fate magical or cruel?
Seeing Lu Yimin’s indescribable sorrow, Qin Sisi felt a twinge of sadness. Yet, she had no intention of talking to Lu Yimin any further.
She spoke directly, "Now you can move in sunlight and you won’t be seen by others. I’ll take you to find them. Once your wish is fulfilled, please keep your promise and give your Soul Power to ."
Lu Yimin detected a hint of indifference in Qin Sisi’s tone. He wanted to explain sothing but in the end, could find no words to say.
What goes around cos around. Always the cause first, then the effect.
Lu Yimin nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for facilitating for , Mage. I’ll definitely keep my promise."
Having settled their plan, Qin Sisi summoned the Wings of Rainbow.
When Lu Yimin saw two colorful, large wings sprout from the back of Qin Sisi, he was startled, both marvelling at Qin Sisi’s ability and the dazzling beauty of the Wings of Rainbow.
Qin Sisi did not bother explaining and simply signaled at Ye You.
Ye You leaped onto Qin Sisi’s shoulder and launched the Invisible Bubble. Qin Sisi and Ye You then disappeared from Lu Yimin’s sight.
Just as Lu Yimin was at his wit’s end, a hand materialized out of thin air and grabbed a corner of his clothes.
Before Lu Yimin could react, he was pulled by Qin Sisi into an almost transparent spherical bubble.
With a stunned and surprised face, Lu Yimin admired Qin Sisi even more, but felt a bit of fear as well.
Pulling on Lu Yimin’s clothes, Qin Sisi leaped off the balcony under the concealnt of the Invisible Bubble, flying towards the residence of Fan Xiaoe and Zhou Yuan.
Lan Di had provided their address in a text ssage. It was very close to the first middle school. Having experienced flying to the school before, Qin Sisi was more familiar with the route. Plus, it was daylight, the light was bright, and the visibility was good, so Qin Sisi flew relatively fast.
When they arrived at Fan Xiaoe and Zhou Yuan’s ho, it was exactly noon and the family of four was having lunch together.
Looking at them, Qin Sisi noticed the two teenagers had a lot in common, though they also had clear differences. It was not hard to tell them apart, they must be fraternal twins.
Their ho was not luxurious, but very neat and clean. Beside the TV was a dish of pink lilies, emitting a faint fragrance.
Their parents were dressed in simple and comfortable casual clothes, looking amiable, and the whole family was happily chatting and laughing as they ate.
Lu Yimin smiled faintly at the sight of this happy family.
They were doing well, and that was great. His guilt could be alleviated a bit. He could leave this world without any regrets.
Qin Sisi gave Lu Yimin a few instructions and told him she was going back first. She asked Lu Yimin to go back to find her after dark.
Lu Yimin looked at Qin Sisi with so confusion, and asked, "My wish has been fulfilled, aren’t you afraid that I might take the chance to run away and betray you if you leave?"
Qin Sisi replied, unperturbed, "A person who feels guilty about their past wrongs should not be faithless."
Lu Yimin’s face changed slightly, feeling that Qin Sisi seemingly had seen through him.
Contrarily, Qin Sisi changed the subject, speaking with a bit of coldness, "Moreover, escape if possible, but you wouldn’t leave them behind, would you?"
"Them" naturally referred to Fan Xiaoe and Zhou Yuan in this lifeti.
Lu Yimin’s face changed abruptly, and he exclaid, "Don’t harm them! They are absolutely innocent in this life."
Qin Sisi stepped back a few steps and said clearly, "I do not wish to harm innocent people, and I also believe you wouldn’t break your promise. But if I am unfortunate to have misjudged you, soone will have to pay the price for your betrayal."
Lu Yimin imdiately replied anxiously, "Don’t worry, I will definitely co to find you tonight."
"That’s good. Take care of yourself then!"
After stating her last sentence, Qin Sisi turned around indifferently, spread her Wings of Rainbow, and flew back ho concealed by the Invisible Bubble.
Watching Qin Sisi’s retreating figure, Lu Yimin felt his heart pounding. He had no intention of breaking his promise, but Qin Sisi’s words still made him nervous.
In the past life, two young won had paid the price of their lives because of him.
In this life, without him, they must live happily. They couldn’t be involved with him again.
He had already witnessed Qin Sisi’s abilities, while Fan Xiaoe and Zhou Yuan were just ordinary people. It would be easy for Qin Sisi to harm them.
It took a while for Lu Yimin’s heart to calm down. He scolded himself for worrying too much. As long as he went back to find Qin Sisi as planned in the evening and give her his soul power, Fan Xiaoe and Zhou Yuan would naturally be safe.
With this in mind, Lu Yimin felt at ease. He set aside those unwarranted concerns and just watched attentively the joyful interaction between the twin sisters Fan Xiaoe and Zhou Yuan.
When they laughed heartily, he laughed along.
When they argued and bickered, he got worried with them.
When they helped their parents with so household chores, Lu Yimin was convinced that they would certainly beco virtuous wives and good mothers in the future.
The term "virtuous wives and good mothers" pained Lu Yimin’s heart. As he thought about the fact that they would encounter their own love in the future, love unrelated to him, Lu Yimin felt sad.
However, he knew he no longer had the right to feel sad.
The ti that Qin Sisi took to return was even shorter than the ti it took to get there, probably because she was more familiar with the route.
Ye You looked at Qin Sisi, who was pressing her lips together in a stern expression, and asked softly, "Why did you scare him? Even if he really breaks his promise, you wouldn’t hurt innocent people."
Qin Sisi paused before replying, "No reason. I just thought this thod was simple and effective, so I used it. Besides, he asked what I would do if he broke his promise. I couldn’t just say I wouldn’t do anything, could I?"
Ye You remarked in a deep voice, "How could you have no recourse? He stayed in my Portable Space; I could feel his magnetic field, he can’t run away."
Qin Sisi exhaled, "So, the greatest punishnt we can give him is to scatter his soul, but do you think he would be afraid?"
Lu Yimin, bear guilt in his heart, lingered in the world as a wild ghost for many years, seeking redemption. He shouldn’t care too much about his own soul power anymore.
After dealing with so many ghosts, Qin Sisi gradually realized that appeasent is not always the best thod. For so ghosts, what’s required is finding their pain point, making them fearful and compelling them to keep their promises.
