Chapter 31: Sister's Plea for Help, Renbao's Inevitable Path

Renbao's fingertips twirled and twisted, his childish voice slightly unsteady: "Grandpa Wei."

"It's because my lectures were too boring." Wei Huaihao could see that Jin Tuanzi was feeling guilty, and his heart softened. He smiled kindly and said, "It's not your fault."

Renbao's eyes lit up, and she instantly became full of energy. She jumped off the small couch and ran to his side, saying sweetly, "Grandma Meng said that Grandpa Wei is the most amazing teacher. Renbao can learn so much from you, and I will study hard!"

Wei Huaihao rubbed her little head and said "good" repeatedly.

Wen Shu, who was on the other side, was stunned.

When Grand Tutor Wei was teaching at the Imperial Academy, he was meticulous and always had a stern face. The students in the hall would fall silent and hold their breath when they saw him, feeling fear in their hearts.

But what he saw now was not only a warm smile on Grand Tutor Wei's cold and hard face, but also a hint of doting.

Wei Huaihao asked Renbao, "Renbao, do you have any requirements for treating patients and saving lives?"

"Good person," Renbao said, stretching out his chubby little hands, baring his teeth and howling, "Bad person, I'll take him away right away!"

Wen Shu was stunned. He looked at the soft-spoken Ren Bao and then asked Wei Huaihao, "Grand Tutor, could it be...?"

His heart skipped a beat.

Wei Huaihao stroked his long white beard: "The little miracle doctor you're looking for is right here, though far away."

Wen Shu suddenly stood up from the stool, rushed to Ren Bao and bowed deeply: "Little miracle doctor, please cure my brother's eye disease."

Renbao tiptoed to reach the jujube seeds on the table, but she couldn't reach them.

Wen Shu hurriedly took one and handed it to her.

Renbao took a small bite of a jujube seed: "What's wrong with your brother's eyes?"

"I can't see anymore." Wen Shu looked at her expectantly. "Little miracle doctor, can you cure me?"

Renbao chewed on a jujube seed: "We'll have to see for ourselves to know."

"Little Divine Doctor, would you like to come with me to the manor?" Wen Shu couldn't wait to take Renbao away from the Wei manor.

Renbao saw that Wen Shu was about ten years old, and she shook her head: "You're still a child."

Wen Shu nearly lost his composure, clutching the hem of his shirt: "Does the young miracle doctor have to consider age?"

But she was much younger than him.

"My lord, Miss Su is here to see Miss Su," the butler announced as he entered the study again.

Renbao's eyes lit up as he looked at Wei Huaihao.

"Go ahead, get out of class is over now," Wei Huaihao said with a smile.

"Sister!" Renbao ran out excitedly with her little legs.

Wen Shu lifted his leg and went to chase after him.

Wei Huaihao couldn't stop him for a moment, his heart was with his brother, and this kind of mentality is rare and precious.

Su Shuying paced back and forth in the main hall, her eyes revealing anxiety despite her usual calm demeanor.

"Sister!" Renbao rushed towards her.

Su Shuying subconsciously squatted down and caught Renbao in her arms: "Renbao."

Renbao's little face froze. He cupped Su Shuying's face in his chubby little hands, looking her up and down, his voice a little anxious: "Why are you crying, sister? Did someone bully you?"

Renbao clenched his chubby hands into fists, revealing a cute yet fierce expression.

"No." Su Shuying quickly shook her head, her voice filled with deep sadness. "My good friend Liu Shang is sick, and I wanted to ask Renbao to see if he could cure her, is that alright?"

During the years when Su Shuying's fate was changed and her mind was clouded, Liu Shang was the only true friend who cared for her sincerely.

Upon learning that she was terminally ill and would soon die, Su Shuying could barely stand and rushed to the Wei residence to find Renbao.

Wen Shu, who had just caught up with her, overheard what she said and paused, not going over.

Renbao immediately nodded: "Okay, let's go find Sister Liushang quickly."

Wen Shu watched as the two sisters boarded the carriage.

The guard said, "Young master, should we give chase?"

Wen Shu shook his head: "Now that we know the little miracle doctor is the beloved daughter of Minister Su, there's no need to rush."

The atmosphere at the Liu residence was somber.

Liu Shang lay on the couch, her delicate face devoid of color. Beside her, her grandmother Qi and mother Yin were weeping uncontrollably.

Doctors came in waves, all telling us to prepare for the worst.

"Grandmother, Mother, Chang'er has been frail and sickly since childhood. The doctor predicted that she would not live past the age of three. Now, ten years have passed, and I am already very content." Liu Chang tried to make the corners of her mouth turn up slightly to comfort her sad relatives.

Qi choked back tears: "Shang'er."

Her granddaughter is only thirteen; she hasn't even reached the age of coming of age.

Yin covered her mouth tightly, sobbing, tears streaming down her face.

"Madam, Madam, Miss Su has arrived." A maid entered the room.

Liu Shang's lifeless pupils focused slightly: "It's Shu Ying, Mother. I want to see her."

Su Shuying carried Renbao and hurried into the house. Upon seeing Liu Shang's lifeless face, her heart skipped a beat: "A-Shang!"

"Shuying, you've arrived." Liu Shang looked at her and saw Renbao in Su Shuying's arms. "She must be your younger sister, Renbao. She's so beautiful, like a celestial child."

Liu Shang's hands were groping everywhere.

"What is Chang'er looking for?" Qi asked hurriedly.

Liu Shang said, "Grandmother, I'm looking for the tiger-head shoes I embroidered; I'm going to give them to Renbao."

She has been unwell lately and has been staying at home.

Knowing that Su Shuying's younger sister had returned home, she was genuinely happy and immediately began embroidering tiger-head shoes suitable for Renbao.

Madam Qi hurriedly got up and went to get it herself.

"Renbao, can it be cured?" Su Shuying asked softly.

Renbao looked at Liushang and shook his head.

Su Shuying's heart sank completely.

If Renbao said there was no hope, then there really was no hope.

Su Shuying's tears, which she had been holding back, suddenly burst forth. She kept her head down, her fingers clenched until they turned red.

Renbao could sense Liu Shang's kindness and affection for her, the sadness of the Liu family, and her sister's grief.

A mix of emotions surged through her, Renbao's little face tightened, and she clutched her chest.

Is this what "human" emotions are?

She is the Little Yama King who rules the underworld, and she was born without feelings.

The ghost messengers of the underworld often have to collect and restrain souls, and their emotions towards people have long been stripped away.

Sensing the emotional fluctuations of Little Yama, Black Impermanence was the first to lose his composure and opened the Yang Mirror to check on Renbao's current situation.

"Little Yama looks very uncomfortable." Black Impermanence couldn't stand it after just one look and started making a fuss about going to the mortal world.

Bai Wuchang pressed him down: "Listen to Granny Meng."

Meng Po walked to the Yang Mirror: "All causes and effects in the world are subject to reincarnation. Renbao's lack of a soul may be the will of Heaven."

The Little Yama King is born without feelings or thoughts. He must personally enter the mortal world, experience the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and the six desires of separation and reunion, before he can return to the underworld and become a true Yama King.

That is a necessary step in Renbao's spiritual journey, and none of us are allowed to interfere.

Black Impermanence said with a gloomy face: "Liu Chang looks like she's about to die. I have to go up and bring her soul down. I can't control myself when I see Renbao, Granny Meng."

Meng Po looked at Ren Bao: "Who said today is Liu Shang's death day? Little Yama is right beside her. If Yama wants to spare her life, no one can take her away."

Black Impermanence jumped up and down: "Granny Meng means you want Renbao to give her special treatment? No way! Absolutely not! That would diminish Renbao's merits, and the karmic consequences would fall on Renbao!"
