My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 66 Divine Manifestation, Family Reunion

Liu Xiangbai's voice was hoarse and choked with emotion, "It's our Liu family that has dragged you down, making you suffer along with me."

He was filled with remorse; if he had known this would happen, he would never have come to ask for her hand in marriage.

Madam Liu sensed her husband's thoughts and grasped his hand tightly. "Husband, why do you say that? I was not valued in the household since I was a child. After I came to the Liu family, my father-in-law treated me very well, and you treated me very well too. Everyone in the household also respected me. Whether in the past or now, I have never regretted marrying into the Liu family."

Her tone was firm, her gaze fixed on her husband, wanting him to know that even if something happened to the Liu family, she would always guard her father-in-law's memorial tablet for him, waiting for his return and for the family to be reunited.

With tears welling in his eyes, Liu Xiangbai held his wife tightly in his arms and promised, "I will definitely come back."

"I believe you."

A flash of white light, and his wife's voice and face gradually blurred as Liu Xiangbai suddenly woke up!
He ripped off his blindfold. The reunion with his wife in his dream was so real, it was as if he had actually seen them.

Liu Xiangbai's heart was pounding. He tucked the blindfold into his clothes and pressed it tightly against his chest. His usually dim eyes lit up. He was determined to return to the capital!
Meanwhile, in a small house on the outskirts of the capital, Madam Liu awoke from her dream, calling out for her husband.

When she saw everything in the room, she realized she had been dreaming again, and a sense of loss spread through her.
The daughter had woken up sometime earlier and was squatting by her bedside, watching her. When she saw that her mother was awake, her bright eyes sparkled, "Mother, I dreamed that Father came home!"

Madam Liu was slightly taken aback. Her daughter had also dreamed about it?
Ever since news of the exiles' encounter with bandits reached the capital, her heart had been in constant turmoil; she kept dreaming of her husband being killed, covered in blood.
Last night's dream felt like a blessing, bringing her some peace of mind.

She pulled her daughter to sit on the bed and comforted her with heartache, "Your father is busy, but he will definitely come back in a few days."

The little girl grinned, "Yes, yes! I believe Daddy will definitely come back!"

Madam Liu felt that the dream was very mysterious. Thinking of her husband's mention of the Lu family deity in the dream, she decided to buy some incense and make some pastries as offerings. Even if the Lu family deity was fictitious, she still wanted to bless her husband with peace and safety.

The system alerted Gu Xingzhao, who felt a pang of heartache upon learning that Madam Liu had set up an altar to offer incense for him.

She appeared in the small courtyard. The young lady had set up a small table in the courtyard, with incense burning in the incense burner. There were only two kinds of pastries as offerings, which showed that the family was indeed struggling financially.

Although he didn't receive any offerings, Gu Xingzhao was moved by the lady's sincerity. Oh well, it was just a small favor.

She took a piece of paper, carefully wrapped the two portions of pastries, tucked them into her hand, left a note, and left gracefully.

"Mommy is gone!" the little girl exclaimed, running around the small table.

She had been waiting to eat, staring longingly at the pastries on the table, and suddenly, they were all gone!

Madam Liu was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up from the ground. She noticed that the two plates of pastries that had been on the table were gone, and a note was left on the table: "I will deliver the food to Liu Xiangbai for you. Just thank me in your heart. You are not a member of the Lu family, so you don't need to offer me any food."

Holding the note, Mrs. Liu pinched herself with trembling hands, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain!
Last night's dream was real; my husband is safe and sound.

She pulled her daughter down to her knees again, kowtowed several times, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you, God, for protecting my husband!"

The little girl didn't know what was happening. Seeing her mother kowtow, she followed suit, her eyes curiously fixed on the table. To her delight, two pieces of pastry that had disappeared suddenly reappeared, neatly arranged on the plate.

The little girl's pleading eyes were so pitiful; she looked like she was about to drool. Gu Xingzhao couldn't resist her pitiful appearance, so he opened the paper package, took out two pieces, and put them back on the plate.

She reached out and patted the little girl's head, laughing out loud, "What a little glutton!" The little girl grabbed her mother's arm in fright, "Mommy, someone touched my head!"

She hid behind Madam Liu in fear, only revealing half of her head, her big, watery eyes still preoccupied with the two pastries on the table.

Overjoyed, Madam Liu wept tears of relief, comforting her daughter, "Silly child, that's a deity."

"May our good gods bless us."

Seeing that it was getting late and she still needed to go back to the modern world to get her car, Gu Xingzhao didn't want to delay any longer. She left with the pastries and teleported to the vicinity of the exile team. She attached a note to the paper-wrapped pastries and put them in the bamboo basket. Then Lu Qing said something.

"Lu Qing, Liu Xiangbai's wife made some pastries, which I put in a bamboo basket. When you have time, please have someone send them to him, as a memento."

Lu Qing was surprised: How did our ancestors know Liu Xiaozhi's wife?
Gu Xingzhao explained, “Last night I saw that he missed his wife, so I fulfilled his wish and let him reunite with his wife and daughter in his dreams. His wife got up early this morning to make pastries to offer to me. I thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate to send them to him.”

After all, pastries are nothing special to him, but they were made by Liu Xiangbai's wife, and only in his hands do they become precious.

Lu Qing understood what his ancestor meant and said that he would deliver the items to Liu Xiangbai intact when the team rested.

Back in the modern world, Gu Xingzhao tidied himself up, hailed a taxi, and prepared to go to the city to pick up the car he had bought a few days earlier.

As she was leaving, she ran into Lin Ting, who was only wearing a thin sweater and bringing soup. When he saw Gu Xingzhao locking the door, he stopped in his tracks, his knuckles red from the cold. "Sister, are you going out?"

Gu Xingzhao nodded. "I bought a car, and I'm going to pick it up now."

Her gaze fell on the bowl of soup in Lin Ting's hand, and she unconsciously licked her lips. "Cover the soup first, and I'll drink it when I come back later."

Upon hearing that Gu Xingzhao had bought a car, Lin Ting smiled and said sincerely for her, "Congratulations, sister."

Having grown up with Gu Xingzhao since childhood, he knew all too well how important things like buying a car or a house meant to her.

Gu Xingzhao smiled, glanced at his phone, and said the taxi should be arriving soon. "Why don't you put the soup down and come with me to check?"

Lin Tingwei was slightly taken aback. What are you looking at? The car?
Seeing his lukewarm reaction, Gu Xingzhao raised an eyebrow slightly. "What, not interested?"

She had assumed that boys would be interested in cars, but it seemed that Lin Ting was an exception.

Lin Ting immediately took the soup home, put it away, grabbed her coat, and ran outside. She took three steps at a time and followed Gu Xingzhao into the car.

Sitting in the back row, Gu Xingzhao laughed out loud. It seemed that Lin Ting was no exception.

Lin Ting didn't know what Gu Xingzhao was laughing at. Her mind was racing, and her ears were burning. She wasn't interested in the car; she just wanted to be by her side during her important moments.
