System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

Chapter 44: Wei Zheng, the Rewarding Department

The cry of "niece" made the person who was hitting, the one who was hit, and the one who was watching others being hit stop. Only Zijian was left in the air, moving back and forth, up and down.

It seems like asking again: You were fighting, why did you stop?

A judge wearing a green robe and a warm smile squeezed into the encirclement and came to Xuzhou Jiao with a smile, not afraid of the murderous intent around her: "Niece Jiaojiao, when did you get here?"

He reached out and grabbed the sword that was baring its teeth at him in mid-air, and handed it to Xuzhou Jiao cheerfully: "My little niece, it's not good for a lady to fight. It will easily ruin her image."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and added, "If someone snarls at you and swears at you, you can still hit him!"

Grinning? Cursing? Did you feel the Zijian cursing at you as he struggled in your hand?

Xu Zhoujiao took over the struggling sub-sword, and combined it with the mother sword, and together they turned back into a bone hairpin and put it back into her bun.

After so much trouble, the person in front of her is exactly what she wanted.

But why did he call himself Jiaojiao's niece? Did he know Daddy?

"I was so happy to see my niece Jiaojiao that I forgot to introduce myself. I am Wei Zheng, from the Underworld's Rewarding Department."

One of the four great judges? The Underworld’s Rewarding Department? Wei Zheng?

Xu Zhoujiao kept repeating Wei Zheng's name in her heart. She always felt that it was very familiar. Not only the name was familiar, but also the aura on his body was familiar.

Before Xuzhou Jiao could remember, Pingfan behind him yelled and rushed to Wei Zheng. He looked at Wei Zheng with tears in his eyes: "Senior Brother? You are my senior brother, right?"

Wei Zheng smiled and nodded.

Tongfu burst into tears and hugged Wei Zheng tightly: "Ah~ Senior Brother, Senior Brother Xiaotong misses you so much, Senior Brother."

Senior Brother? That's Pu Zhen!

Xuzhou Jiao and Yinshan Du looked at each other. Was he Pu Zhen, who left the letter? The director of the Imperial Observatory who voluntarily lit the life lamp to lock Jiaojiao's soul - Wei Zheng?

He is actually the judge of the underworld?

Xu Zhoujiao looked at Wei Zheng, who was comforting her in a soft voice. She finally knew why she felt his breath was familiar. It turned out that he was the uncle Pu Zhen who gave his life for her and took the blame for his father.

Wei Zheng comforted Pingfan and bowed to Yinshandu: "Your Majesty, it's been a long time since we last met. Seeing that your Majesty's mind is clear, I believe you have returned to your true self."

Yinshan Du quickly supported him and replied with a guilty look on his face: "Thank you for your concern, I am now completely awake, but I harmed your life and the lives of your disciples during the chaos. I am extremely ashamed and blame myself."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. This is our fate. It has been our long-cherished wish to protect Xiao Jiaojiao. We are all just retiring after accomplishing our mission."

Wei Zheng looked at Xuzhou Jiao who had been looking at him without saying anything, and smiled: "Jiaojiao, my little niece, is it that Uncle Puzhen has changed his appearance and I don't dare to recognize him? When Jiaojiao was little, she loved to pester uncle to buy flowers. Do you remember?"

As he spoke, Wei Zheng couldn't help but recall his childhood in Xuzhou.

Back then, when Jiaojiao was less than two years old, he told Xuzhou Chuang that Jiaojiao was in danger and it would be dangerous to stay in the capital, so he asked him to move back to Xuzhou to avoid the disaster.

When he left, he also went to Xuzhou and stayed there until Xiao Jiaojiao was six years old.

After leaving Xuzhou, he returned to the capital, entered the Imperial Observatory, changed his name to Wei Zheng, and became the director. He never admitted Pu Zhen's identity to Jiaojiao until her death.

He was in the Heavenly Prison on the day Jiaojiao died. He immediately locked up Jiaojiao's soul and brought it back to the Imperial Observatory, where he carefully nurtured it in the life lamp for a month.

Afterwards, he and his disciples formed a formation and guarded her for a whole year.

Until he was brought to justice.

Wei Zheng watched Xu Zhoujiao's evil eyes fade away, and her bright eyes were flashing with tears.

He also felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Although his soul returned to the underworld and he was restored to his original form in the past two years, the scene of Jiaojiao's tragic death kept lingering in his mind and could not be dispelled.

The little girl whom he loved like a daughter died in a conspiracy. He could have saved her, but he couldn't. No one could understand the pain he felt when he watched his little girl die but was powerless to do anything. That pain accompanied him like a slow torture.

He would often hear Jiaojiao crying out in pain, calling for daddy, mommy, brother, and asking for help...

"Jiaojiao, it's not that Uncle Puzhen doesn't want to save you..."

Before Wei Zheng could finish his words, he saw Xuzhou Jiao stretching out her hand towards him, with a South China Sea water lily lying quietly in her palm.

"When I was six years old, you left. They said you didn't go to see the flowers, but to pursue your own way and benefit all living beings. When I saw you again after growing up, you told me that you recognized the wrong person. It was not until I saw your letter that I knew you were dead."

"I thought I would never have the chance to give this flower. It's great to see you again today, Uncle Puzhen."

Xu Zhoujiao's tone was calm and composed, as if she was telling a very ordinary story.

"You said that you wanted to see the water lilies in the South China Sea the most. I found them for you. The flower god was considerate and used his own spiritual power to seal the flowering period. From now on, it will never wither."

Wei Zheng stared blankly at the South China Sea water lily.

He mentioned this flower when he said goodbye to Jiaojiao. He said he was going to look for water lilies in the South China Sea, and would come back once he found them.

But he didn't say that the water lilies in the South China Sea sleep for a hundred years and only bloom for ten years. He had missed the blooming period ten years ago.

That is a promise that will never be fulfilled.

Tears rolled down Wei Zheng's cheeks like beads that had broken off a string. He quickly wiped them away with his palm and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Xiao Jiaojiao, are you blaming your uncle for lying to you?"

Xu Zhoujiao raised her lips with a hint of happiness in her smile: "Uncle didn't lie to me, I have already met uncle."

Wei Zheng could no longer control his emotions after taking the water lily, and he felt his tears were about to fall again.

He was interrupted by his considerate junior.

Pingfan beside him cried loudly, and he tightly grasped Wei Zheng's sleeve: "Ah~ It's so touching, it's really so touching, the deeds of Senior Brother and the Queen are so touching, woooo~ Queen, how can you be so kind, for a lie of an old man, you have been looking forward to seeing the sky again, and you found the flower yourself. Never wither~ It's really touching."

"Brother, you weren't even that kind to Pu Zhen. You burned your life for a girl who is not related to you by blood! Ah~ It's so touching."

After saying that, he wiped his nose fiercely with Wei Zheng's sleeve.

The ghost riders around him whispered to each other and discussed his words: Why does his expression of being moved sound so much like an insult?

"Who do you call a yellow-haired girl?"

"Who do you call an old man?"

Pu Tong looked at the two people who were glaring at him, and was so scared that he wiped away his tears, covered his mouth tightly, slowly moved behind Yin Shan Du, and secretly asked Yin Shan Du: What happened to them?

Yinshan Du looked at Tong Puzhi behind him and shook his head and sighed. He had never seen such a touching scene.

Such a touching scene was broken by Pingfan single-handedly.

Lu Daozhi, who had been ignored the whole time, was extremely angry when he saw the two people reminiscing about the past!

"Wei Zheng, what are you doing? Xuzhou Jiao broke into the underworld first, and then injured the ghost soldiers. I, the Chacha Division, was ordered by the law to arrest people. Not only did you not help, but you are also here to reminisce about the past with the witch. Are you showing favoritism?"
