The Quinn Family.
When Elias Quinn’s parents woke up, they found themselves lying on the bed together.
They were sowhat puzzled, as they clearly rembered being in the living room before they fell asleep, yet here they were waking up nicely on the bed.
"Did our eldest co back?"
Besides Elias, there was another child in the Quinn family, but he was away.
They thought their son must have rushed back upon hearing about the incident in Sea City.
However, soon they knew the answer.
Walking out of the room and arriving in the living room, Mrs. Quinn imdiately noticed a bunch of keys placed on the shoe cabinet.
The keys had a keychain resembling a mini keyboard, clearly belonging to Elias.
Mrs. Quinn’s eyes reddened instantly.
"These are Elias’s keys."
She asked her husband, "He must have been back, but why did he leave again?"
And leaving the house keys felt like a complete break from the family.
Mr. Quinn also wore a serious expression.
In fact, until now, they still didn’t know what exactly Elias did.
First, he was taken away by the Security Bureau, and then they said he disappeared from the Bureau.
They were just ordinary people, so the only possibility they could think of was—
Their son might have been tricked into a pyramid sche.
Seeing that he clearly could co ho but didn’t see them, he might have been brainwashed.
"He never caused any worry from childhood to adulthood, yet growing up, he started to worry us... Sigh."

At the villa, Ashton Todd got his fragnts and pondered over how to modify them.
Upon seeing this, Scarlett Jennings simply pushed Ivan’s business card on the Spiritual Affairs platform to him.
"If you want to make it into a Magic Artifact, you could ask Ivan for help."
Though he charges a high fee, his work is definitely reliable.
Moreover, considering it’s a Ghost Gate fragnt, Scarlett Jennings thought probably no one knew better than him how to harness the power of these fragnts.
Thinking of this, Scarlett suddenly recalled Amber Livingston’s side of things.
Although she had seen Ivan bring his soul aperture back from the Ghost Gate, she had been too busy dealing with the Ghost Fog thereafter to ask about his and Elena Hamilton’s situation.
As she was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing Lucas Jennings’ call, Scarlett sowhat surprised, answered it, only to hear, from the other end, Lucas’ voice sounding both terrified and excited,
"Sis! Co ho quickly! Kingston is in trouble!"
Kingston!!
Scarlett’s heart sank.
Thinking about how he previously used the Power of Word Spirit to awaken Layla Xalvadora, indirectly waking all the people in Sea City controlled by the Dreamy Tapirus and trapped in dreams.
This effect, in turn, caused a massive consumption of the Power of Word Spirit.
Lifespan impacts were inevitable. Scarlett’s only concern was whether his newly repaired Living Soul would beco weakened again.
Only, mom was at ho, logically, nothing should happen.
No ti to think more, Scarlett rushed back ho with Donovan Jennings in a hurry, yet was surprised to see many people gathered in the Jennings family living room.
Besides the Jennings family, there was an unexpected guest—
"Amber Livingston?"
Hearing Scarlett’s voice, Amber, who was just holding the tiny beautiful paw and feeling excited, stood up abruptly.
Showing obvious excitent on his face, while trying to contain and appear a bit reserved.
"Little friend Jennings, you’re back~"
Amber feigned composure in addressing her as little friend Jennings, which in turn inexplicably reminded Scarlett of how he pretended to be profound the first ti she saw him on the show.
Just feeling inexplicable, she saw Adam Jennings and Lucas Jennings stand up simultaneously.
Though Adam seed eager to say sothing, Lucas’s voice ca quicker,
"Sis! It’s good that you are back. Amber just ca looking for you, he said he might be able to solve the issue of Kingston’s lifespan reduction!"
Once Lucas said this, Scarlett suddenly looked over towards Amber Livingston.
Only now, did she notice there seed to be sothing faintly extra on him.
Where once she thought was the spiritual power generated from reconnecting with Elena Hamilton, now it seed there was more to it?
As Scarlett pondered, Lucas quickly approached, whispering in her ear,
"Sis, look if he’s being deceitful again. If he is, no ssing around is allowed. Grandpa and the others are quite concerned."
As a loyal viewer of "Inspiration," Lucas surely knew Amber’s "track record."
Though Aunt indeed said he had the Immortal Fox inside of him, seeing the tiny pretty one willing to shake his hand was evident enough.
Still, Lucas wasn’t assured.
Upon hearing that Kingston used the Power of Word Spirit again and his lifespan would be reduced, even Uncle’s expression turned solemn.
Not to ntion Brother Adam, whose aura was so low, it seed murderous.
The whole Jennings family, no one didn’t hope for Kingston’s recovery.
But they feared, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointnt.
Just like Adam, that was how he felt now.
Wanting to believe, yet fearing it’s a fraud.
Scarlett didn’t say anything imdiately but walked over to Amber Livingston, closely observing the faint spiritual light newly erged at his spiritual platform, then looked towards Magnolia Hearne as if wanting to confirm with her.
Just to see Magnolia Hearne nodding,
"I just explored his soul, he seed to have gone for a turn at the Ghost Gate, and gained a bit of fortune."
Upon hearing Magnolia Hearne’s words, Amber was first dumbfounded.
Explored his soul?
When did she explore it?? How co he didn’t know?!
Magnolia Hearne smiled.
When she handed him tea just now.
Regardless of what fortune Amber gained, now the Jennings family was more concerned with the thod he ntioned could help recover Kingston’s lifespan.
Scarlett was also very curious about what thod Amber had.
Just hearing Amber clear his throat and say,
"Earlier my soul aperture accidentally got sucked into the Ghost Gate, Mr. Ivan should have told you, the gate I was sucked into, was the Five Turbidities Gate."
The Five Turbidities are, Calamity Turbidity, View Turbidity, Affliction Turbidity, Beings Turbidity, Lifespan Turbidity.
Amber, at that ti, mistakenly entered the Five Turbidities with his soul aperture and passed the View Turbidity judgnt.
The View Turbidity judges on correct knowledge and correct view, saying if View Turbidity arises, virtuous qualities diminish.
He said,
"After passing the View Turbidity judgnt, I entered a place called the rit Exam Bureau."
Inside, the officials said he was a clear-minded soul, and that they lacked ghosts there, intending to keep him to work. Luckily, Ivan arrived in ti, saying he would take him away.
Seeing he was under Ivan’s protection, the officials asked if he wanted a part-ti Official position.
Amber, in his muddled state, ended up fixing himself a part-ti role at the View Turbidity Bureau.
After being brought back from the Ghost Gate and returning to his own body, it took him quite a while to realize he gained a part-ti job in the Netherworld.
Unlike the Walking Impermanence, he had a clerical position.
"Mr. Ivan found today unexpectedly saying this role can assess living people’s rit repercussions, he said your cousin Kingston might utilize , and suggested I best co."
Upon arrival, he also learned from Elena what Kingston did.
At this mont, looking at Kingston earnestly, he said,
"Mr. Jennings used the Power of Word Spirit to indirectly help Sea City citizens break free from Dreamy Tapirus’s control without causing any bitter consequences, which constitutes a rit plant.
Originally by the rule, these rits would have been calculated by the rit Exam Bureau post-mortem for use in your next reincarnation,
But considering your special circumstances, if you’re willing, I can help submit an application to convert this rit into lifespan for use in your current life."
