After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

After Wen Baizhi returned to the temple, he went to Baili to ask where the Buddha was as agreed.

On the one hand, she really wanted to catch up with her old friends.

On the other hand, Baili Wendao must know a lot of things, so she still needs to ask him a few questions.

Baili asked as if he expected her to come.

She had already brewed the Longjing tea that she loved most back then.

When Wen Baizhi arrived, Baili Wendao was sitting at the table with a cup of tea in his hand.

He looked like he was waiting for her.

Wen Baizhi didn't bother to be polite and sat down at the table, picking up the cup of tea left for her.

"Old man, you didn't recognize who I was when you saw me in the teahouse that time, did you?"

She asked after finishing her cup of tea.

Baili asked, raising his eyebrows: "My friend is still so smart, no detail escapes your eyes."

Wen Baizhi only now thought of the look that Baili Wendao had cast on her back at that time.

Even when her eyes met his, it was clear that he was looking at her as if she were someone familiar.

Now that I think about it, he recognized her at that time.

"Master Tianfa said that you gave him the Soul-Resurrection Lamp."

Baili Wendao nodded slightly: "Indeed, I gave it to him."

Wen Baizhi raised her own question: "But why didn't you give it to him earlier or later, but had to give it to him after Si Jiu lost me? Does this have something to do with me?"

She hadn't wanted to ask that question.

Because adults often only care about the results, the process is actually not important.

But since it was related to Si Jiu and the timing was so coincidental, she couldn't help but pay attention.

Baili Wendao had known Wen Bai for a long time, and he had expected that she would dig deep into the matter.

"It is true that I gave the Soul-Resurrection Lamp to Tianfa, but it has nothing to do with Dugong. In my opinion, I have always believed that the dead cannot be resurrected. Although the Soul-Resurrection Lamp was with me before, I did not believe in its effect in my heart."

Wen Baizhi was even more confused: "Then why does the Resurrection Lamp exist? In other words, if you don't believe that the Resurrection Lamp has any effect, why did you give it to Master Tianfa and let him give it to Si Jiu?"

Baili Wendao said something that she still remembered afterwards.

He sat there quietly amidst the aroma of tea and spoke to her.

"That's because people always have to have something to think about and hope for when they are alive. How can a person who has lost his loved ones survive in this world is always a difficult problem. If he can have the hope to persevere, he may get what he wants. Look, he has waited for it."

Wen Baizhi walked out of his yard aimlessly.

If no one knows whether the resurrection lamp can really bring back the person in your heart.

If people always have something to look forward to in life.

So at that time, Si Jiu really needed some hope.

Otherwise, she might not be able to see Si Jiu again today.

The more you interact with Si Jiu, the more you will be infected by the despair in his soul.

How desperate and sad it is when people walk helplessly in this vast world.

Her mood did not improve until she met Si Jiu again.

After she left, Si Jiu asked Ping An to add a few more braziers in the room.

The quilt on the couch felt a little damp because he had sweated too much while he was unconscious.

He then asked Ping'an to change the quilt.

Therefore, when Wen Baizhi came back, Si Jiu did not lie on the couch, but sat on a stool beside him with great effort.

But because there is a wound on the back, any slight bending will cause pulling and pain.

So he sat very upright, with his upper body very straight.

When Wen Baizhi went in, the quilt on the couch had not been changed yet.

Wen Baizhi knew at a glance why Si Jiu was sitting here.

She didn't say anything, but just walked silently behind Si Jiu, making herself someone he could rely on.

But Si Jiu was so thoughtful, how could he not notice the low pressure she was feeling at the moment?

After leaving safely, Si Jiu held Wen Baizhi's hand that was hanging by her side.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

After Wen Baizhi analyzed the pain she experienced as Wen Bai with Si Jiu, she is now more willing to explain her true feelings to Si Jiu.

Besides, lovers should not only share joy, but also bear frustration together.

So she said frankly: "Nothing happened, it's just that Mr. Baili talked to me a little, and I met Qingyao, but she left before I could talk to her."

She subconsciously forgot about her cousin.

Si Jiu now knows that Wen Baizhi still longs to be with her old friends.

"I have heard over the past few years that the daughter of the Yun Xiang family would often come to Baoen Temple, but I didn't expect that you would meet her here today."

He said.

"If you want to find a chance to meet her, it's not impossible. After a while, Princess Shang Yao will organize the ladies and wives of the wealthy families in Kyoto to go to her house to attend the Spring Banquet. Miss Yun has always attended in the past. This year, you can also go and you will have a chance to meet her then."

Wen Baizhi naturally knew Princess Shang Yao.

Shang Yao is Qi Yan'an's only sister.

Years ago, because her mother was not favored, when she reached marriageable age, she was arbitrarily assigned by the late emperor to the family of a minister who also had no achievements in the court.

Not only did the minister's family have no place in the court, but their family style was also shocking.

Shang Yao is a princess who has to do rough labor after getting married, and serving her parents-in-law and sister-in-law is a daily necessity.

But she was so diligent that she didn't dare to cause trouble, simply because she was worried about causing trouble for Qi Yan'an, who was competing for the crown prince at the time.

But since she was not living well, her brother naturally couldn't feel at ease.

Finally, when Princess Shang Yao was pregnant and had a miscarriage, she was kicked to the ground by her husband because the ink she ground for her was not dark enough.

Shang Yao could endure whatever she wanted, but she couldn't bear to see her child being killed.

She found Qi Yan'an in tears.

But Qi Yan'an was unable to extricate himself at that time, and it was Wen Bai who helped Shang Yao escape from the devil's cave.

With the help of Wen Bai, Shang Yao successfully reconciled with the beast.

In the end, she paid the price of being unable to have children again.

But she was free.

After that, when Qi Yan'an ascended the throne, Shang Yao also became the eldest princess.

Even though the emperor's sister had been divorced before and was unable to have children, there were still many people who wanted to marry her.

But Shang Yao has already seen through everything. She only wants to keep a few male favorites for the rest of her life and never commit herself to any man again.

"When does the Spring Banquet start?" Wen Baizhi felt that she wanted to attend.

Si Jiu calculated the time in his mind: "There are about seven or eight days left. Princess Shang Yao usually sends a message in advance to those she wants to invite."

Wen Baizhi was a little curious: "But she and you probably don't know each other, why do you think I am qualified to be invited?"
