Seeing this, everyone was shocked, especially the infant spirit, who trembled all over and almost fainted.

Ye Jingke moved closer to Cheng Ai, his eyes narrowing slightly as he became wary.

The little devil in front of me hasn't been sent away yet, and now two more have arrived?

The Black and White Impermanence glanced around, and the moment their gaze landed on the infant spirit, the Black Impermanence, wearing a tall hat that read "Peace Under Heaven," immediately threw out a soul-snatching chain, which tightly wrapped around its neck and dragged it to its feet.

Li Xiaolin was terrified and rushed over to protect the infant spirit, but was stopped by Bai Wuchang, who was wearing a tall hat that said "May you make money at first sight".

Lu Hanmo pulled her back into his arms and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, they've come to take our son to be reincarnated."

"Really?" Li Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, then, after realizing what she had said, she was both surprised and delighted. She quickly bowed to Bai Wuchang and pleaded, "Please, you must treat my son well...please..."

Her tears flowed uncontrollably, filled with anticipation.

But White Impermanence ignored him, and simply took a few steps back to stand side by side with Black Impermanence.

Cheng Ai wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and asked with trembling lips, "How is my master now?"

With a blank expression, Bai Wuchang coldly replied, "He was reincarnated, but before he left, he kept repeating the same sentence."

Cheng Ai ignored the latter part, her eyes filled with shock, "How could this be? He has achieved perfect merit, why can't he ascend to become an immortal?"

“It’s on you.” Bai Wuchang said calmly, as if he were talking about the weather.

Just four words shattered Cheng Ai's last glimmer of hope. Her face turned deathly pale, and her lips moved several times before she could barely find her voice, "Then... what did he say..."

Bai Wuchang glanced at Ye Jingke beside her, seemingly unintentionally, and said, "The true love has appeared. I hope my good disciple can overcome this calamity with him."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ai's head buzzed, and she collapsed as if all her strength had been drained.

"Ai Ai!" Ye Jingke quickly caught her. "Are you alright?"

Cheng Ai stared blankly for a moment, then grabbed his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "He...he said something else..."

White Impermanence silently shook his head, and together with Black Impermanence, lifted the infant spirit and quickly stepped into the vortex.

"Wait!" Li Xiaolin craned her neck and shouted anxiously, "Son, will we ever see each other again?"

The infant spirit turned back, their eyes met, and a deep sense of reluctance rose in both of their hearts.

They both knew that this parting would be forever, but Li Xiaolin still clung to a sliver of hope and asked the question.

"Uh..." The infant spirit seemed to be considering it, until the vortex disappeared, and then its childish voice came out, "I won't give you a second chance to hurt me, Daddy and Mommy. From now on, my little sister will continue to love you in my place. Goodbye."

"Baby!" Li Xiaolin screamed shrilly, in unbearable pain.

Lu Hanmo held his wife tightly, letting her vent her emotions freely.

At the same time, a beautiful blue butterfly appeared in mid-air, flapped its wings and flew down, landing on Cheng Ai's jade hairpin, and gradually disappeared from sight.

Cheng Ai took off the jade hairpin, stared at it for a long time, and then put it back on.

Now she finally understands the real reason why her master left behind the thousand-year-old jade.

My body is too weak to store spiritual energy. The only way is to carry a suitable container, and jade happens to be the perfect one!

Her master went to great lengths to arrange everything for her, but she knew nothing about it. She was truly a derelict disciple.

Cheng Ai took a deep breath, broke free from Ye Jingke's embrace, and walked upstairs step by step.

Seeing this, Lü Hanmo quickly wiped away his tears and hurriedly said, "Xiao Ai'ai, I apologize for my previous reckless behavior. Thank you for today. If you have any requests, please feel free to make them. As long as it is within my power, I will do it without hesitation!"

Cheng Ai didn't stop walking, she just waved her hand indifferently, "No need, Xiaolin's three meals a day are my payment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared around the corner.

Lu Hanmo was stunned. After regaining his senses, he sat down on the sofa with Li Xiaolin in his arms and murmured with a sigh, "No wonder you were so insistent on cooking for me. It turns out you had ulterior motives..."

"No." Ye Jingke handed over one of the two glasses of white wine he had just poured, his voice as calm as ever. "Ai Ai thought that the infant spirit was caused by Xiao Lin in the hospital, so she repeatedly asked to cook to stop her from going back to work."

But it was only when she saw the infant spirit jump onto your head that she suddenly understood the relationship between you.

But if Xiaolin had yelled and screamed like you did at the beginning, Ai'ai would probably have already given up and abandoned the situation.

Lu Hanmo took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I was too petty and arrogant. I almost caused a disaster."

Ye Jingke's eyes darkened as he took a sip of his drink. "Let Xiaolin get some rest tonight, and take her to the hospital for blood tests tomorrow morning."

Lu Hanmo placed the business card he had just received on the coffee table and said apologetically, "I'll return the land and the 200 million investment to you. I'm too ashamed to accept it."

Ye Jingke glanced at it briefly before looking away, a dark and unfathomable light flashing in his eyes. "What's given away and then taken back? Once the house is built, save me the best one. I'll decide the decorating style, and you'll pay for it!"

"Not just one, ten sets will do!" Lü Hanmo picked up the business card again and carefully put it away. "If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Ye Jingke nodded slightly and watched the two leave.

Only when he heard the roar of the car engine gradually fade into the distance did he put down his wine glass and slowly walk upstairs.

Too much has happened in the past few days; he needs time to sort it out.

Standing in front of the bedroom, just as I was about to go in, I heard the girl's suppressed sobs.

Ye Jingke frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally reached out to knock on the door, "Ai Ai, it's me."

"Come in," Cheng Ai replied, her voice choked with emotion.

Ye Jingke pushed open the door. The room was pitch black, but with the help of the faint moonlight, he could vaguely make out a petite figure lying on the edge of the bed.

He didn't turn on the light, but quietly approached, bent down and grasped her trembling shoulders, asking in a deep voice, "Why are you crying?"

Cheng Ai looked up, her wet eyes fixed on him for a few seconds, then suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, “Master transferred all his merits to me… Why did he do that… I don’t deserve it… I really don’t deserve it…”

Ye Jingke wasn't good at comforting people, especially girls. At this moment, he could only gently pat her back and coax her in the gentlest voice, "He has his own considerations. You don't need to blame yourself."

Cheng Ai sobbed for a while before stopping, and asked in a choked voice, "I'm new here, and almost everyone I've met is dead. Brother Lü has a wife, I've only met your assistant once, and your father is too old. So, will you be the true love my master was talking about?"
