The brothers thought it over and decided that one would go while the other watched the body.
Tingting let his younger brother go.
Stars imdiately went, and when his foot stepped on the bridge, his body instantly stood motionless, and his soul naturally left his body.
Stars looked back at his own motionless self and then quickly ran off.
Tingting just stood there waiting.
Soon, less than ten minutes later, Stars returned, with Su Changzhi in tow.
"Uncle Nine."
Su Changzhi took off his cloak and wrapped both of their bodies with it, held them together, and said with concern, "You really have so nerve finding your way here; your parents are worried sick."
"Uncle, did you send soone to notify them?" Tingting asked.
"How could I not?" Su Changzhi said softly, "I’ll take you back now."
By the ti they got to Qin Garden, Long Qian had already awakened.
Seeing them, Long Qian cried tears of joy, "My darlings, it’s good that you’re safe."
"Grandma, sorry for worrying you."
Long Qian affectionately brushed Tingting’s little face, "It’s Grandma who should apologize for not protecting you, why are you naked?"
"That old witch stripped us of all our clothes and we were freezing..."
"Your bodies are as hot as fireballs; could it be a fever?" Long Qian felt their foreheads, "Indeed it is. Chang Zhi, watch them while I call the family doctor."
Su Changzhi nodded, "Okay."
"Uncle Nine, give a bath, I’m too dirty," Tingting frowned, a naturally born cleanliness-freak.
"I want a bath too."
Su Changzhi took them to the bathroom, quickly rinsed them with hot water, then dressed them. Just as he carried them out, the family doctor arrived and took their temperatures: 39.5 degrees.
Normally, children don’t get IVs or injections; the doctor prescribed fever-reducing dicine for them to take.
The room was ward up, and the feverish twins had rosy cheeks.
When Gu Lili ca back, they were asleep.
"The fever just broke," Su Changzhi whispered, "No wonder they’re your sons, they’re so brave. Both of their clothes and shoes were taken by Dai Ji, and they were tied up. The two kids managed to wear the rope down against a stone wall. Tingting even rolled down a slope, spraining his foot. It’s been treated, and his head was bleeding from a bump, already bandaged. At the riverbank, they asked the Water Ghost, who, upon hearing they were Long Chan’s sons, directed them to the Netherworld, where they found ."
Gu Lili bent down, gently touching each of the sleeping children’s cheeks, her eyes a bit red, "Dai Ji dared to defy us; I’ll not take this lightly."
"Are you going to kill her?"
"No, I have another way to deal with her."
Gu Lili’s eyes were like a deep, tranquil pool, betraying no hint of what she was thinking at that mont.
"Earlier, I had set up a barrier in this room, but I forgot to reset it." As she spoke, Gu Lili set up a new barrier that covered the entire room, allowing only a few close people to enter.
"Divine Mother, Dai Ji has been captured and returned to Yunxiao Palace. The Heavenly King requests your presence," the maid beside Jun Yu reported.
"Alright, I’m coming now."
When she arrived, Dai Ji was kneeling on the ground, looking sowhat disheveled.
A biological mother kneeling to her son, it is sowhat ironic.
But according to rank, it should be so.
