It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Mu Qian and Jiang Ting looked at Liu Jin rolling on the ground, not understanding what was wrong with him, nor what to do.

Fortunately, Liu Jin's condition did not last long.

He sat silently on the ground, without saying a word.

Mu Qian knelt down beside him. "Comrade Liu Jin, what's wrong?"

Liu Jin didn't answer his question, but instead asked another one, "Why would Yun Li want to destroy her soul?"

Mu Qian frowned. He didn't want to talk about Yun Li's private matters without her consent.

Liu Jin didn't receive a reply, nor was he upset. He simply pushed himself up and walked to Yun Xuan.

"Xuanxuan!" he called softly.

Yunxuan reacted because the voice was so gentle. She raised her head, and even though her eyes were filled with tree branches, she could still see clearly.

He was a stranger.

Why did he call her so gently?

I wanted to ask who you were, but I couldn't make a sound.

"I am Liu Jin, and I was born and raised in the same village as you."

Upon hearing this, both Mu Qian and Jiang Ting became wary.

Liu Jin knows Yun Xuan, and I'm afraid he might rescue her.

The souls that Yun Li wants to destroy will never be rescued.

Yunxuan tried hard to recall, a village?

Why doesn't she remember?

"It's okay if you don't remember, I want to ask you what exactly you did."

Yunxuan was curious; even though she hadn't said a word, he seemed to know what she was thinking.

It's okay if you don't speak; I can hear what's in your heart.

Knowing this, Yunxuan wasn't too surprised. After all, the fact that she was still alive in her current state was surprising enough.

"You've come to save me?"

Liu Jin was in agony; he couldn't say that he had come to destroy her.

"Since you know me, then help me kill Yun Li, kill that little beast."

"Smack!" A vine lashed out and struck Yunxuan's face.

"If you dare to say another word against Yun Li, I will make you suffer even more than you are now."

Upon hearing Yun Xuan's request, Liu Jin frowned; he couldn't possibly kill Yun Li.

They couldn't kill them either.

"Xuanxuan, tell me, what did you do to make Yunli hate you so much?"

What did I do? Of course, I did a good deed by bringing her into this world.

Without me, she wouldn't even have had the chance to come into this world.

Liu Jin was completely baffled by her thoughts. If it was really a good thing, why would Yun Li hate her so much that he wanted to destroy her soul?

Even though he didn't know exactly what had happened, he could see the sins she was full of.

Fine, since she's unwilling to say, then he'll see for himself.

He gently touched the nose ring, and two spirit stones fell into his palm, which he clenched slightly.

Yunxuan had experienced a soul search once before, and immediately sensed what was happening.

No, you're not allowed to look!

Get out of here! Get out of here!

Liu Jin heard her thoughts, but he didn't stop. Now, some things needed to be settled.

The cause and effect stemming from a promise should come to an end here.

Jiang Ting only saw Liu Jin standing motionless without speaking, but Mu Qian knew that he was searching Liu Jin's soul.

Not surprising, because he could do it too.

Half an hour passed.

Jiang Ting glanced at Mu Qian, and seeing that he showed no abnormality, she remained silent.

Two hours passed, and Liu Jin remained in the same position.

Jiang Ting figured out what he was doing, and Mu Qian knew it too.

She was the only one present who didn't know.

However, I wasn't upset about it.

Three hours later, Liu Jin finally reacted. After reading all of Yun Xuan's memories, Liu Jin closed his eyes in pain.

I never imagined that such a lively and cheerful little girl would have such a wicked soul.

It's impossible that he broke his promise and turned her into this.

Because she was reborn, all the resentment and hatred in her soul were washed away. In addition, she did not have the memory of the life in which he broke his promise, so it was impossible for her to become evil because of him.

All I can say is that her soul is inherently evil.

I'm somewhat relieved that he didn't keep his promise back then. If he had really taught her how to cultivate immortality and gain power greater than that of ordinary people, it would probably have been a disaster.

At first, he calculated that his karma in this world was related to Yun Li, and thought that she was connected with someone who truly had karma.

Only now do I realize that it wasn't just a connection, but rather that his cause and effect was Yun Li.

Yunxuan, on the contrary, was a side effect.

It was only at this point that he realized that what he couldn't calculate outside of Laozi and Zhuangzi was Yunli.

Yun Li, who possesses the love of heaven and the compassion of earth, has already stepped onto the ladder to heaven.

She hadn't reached the top yet; he needed to escort her up the last step.

The merits have now been accomplished.

After thinking everything through, he turned and left.

Mu Qian frowned slightly, glanced at Yun Xuan, who was still alive, and did not destroy her soul.

Could it be that he changed his mind because he had a past with Yunxuan?

Jiang Ting has already regarded Yun Li as the most important person in her life, and her affairs are her affairs.

Seeing this, he chased after Liu Jin and grabbed him, saying, "You haven't done what you promised Yun Li."

Liu Jin looked ahead and said calmly, "I'll do that later. There's one more thing to do before that."

"No, Yun Li's matter must be taken care of first."

Liu Jin turned his head. "The first thing we did was also about Yun Li."

Jiang Ting was slightly taken aback, and released her grip on his arm.

After that, Liu Jin stayed in the room arranged by the Bureau of Otherworldly Affairs for a month without leaving.

No one bothered them, of course, as he had instructed beforehand.

Mu Qian hasn't left the house for a month, as he's keeping an eye on Liu Jin. Jiang Ting, on the other hand, has been actively taking on missions since joining the Otherworld Bureau and is currently on a mission.

……

While Liu Jin locked himself in his room, Yun Li also found Yun Xuan and Chen Baoguo's two children.

The military region leaders wanted to save the two children and made the decision to send them away; their initial intention was good.

However, due to domestic policy reasons, they dared not send anyone to follow them, but secretly gave them some gold and instructed the local villagers to help take care of them.

The person who gave the confession was not from their own country, and they were so far away that it was impossible to know whether the other party had been conscientious.

The person being instructed knew that the other party couldn't check on them all the time, so they just gave them a bite to eat and didn't care about anything else.

Their exotic appearance led to the two children being ostracized and bullied by the local children.

At that moment, the boy was fighting desperately with a knife, using all his strength to protect his injured sister behind him.

Yun Li watched coldly as he stabbed someone, had his knife taken away, and was then punched and kicked.

The sister he was protecting, who was on the verge of death, saw her brother being beaten, struggled to her feet, and rushed over to take a kick for him.

This nearly killed the girl; blood was streaming from her mouth, clearly indicating internal organ damage.

"sister!"

Ignoring the blows, the boy crawled toward his sister.

The older sister also stretched out her hand with great effort, trying to grab her younger brother's outstretched hand.

The person who was hitting the younger brother saw this and pulled him back with a laugh. Just as the siblings were about to be caught, they were separated.

However, the distance of just one person became the greatest distance between the siblings.

They must have had enough, because the group of people who did the beating walked away arm in arm.

The younger brother crawled toward his older sister again, his eyes only on his sister, who was born of the same mother, seemingly oblivious to the pair of feet that had walked between them.

"I am the Bone Crusher."

The sound rang out abruptly in the dark and damp alleyway.
