“Sister Siyu, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for implicating you.”Gu Xingyu said guiltily.

“Don’t say that. It’s not your fault. If I had ignored my parents’ objections and insisted on going to the Gu family back then, none of these things would have happened. You wouldn’t have been bullied and suffered in the Gu family. “We should both be more careful in the future and try to stay away from her. If we can’t avoid her, just treat her like you treat me, call her ‘sister,’ and try to please her. After all, we’re still young, and you’ll have to be part of her family for decades to come. If you upset her, she’ll definitely target you,” Lu Siyu advised.

Gu Xingyu, however, clenched her teeth and coldly snorted, “Pleasing her? In her dreams.”

Lu Siyu sighed and continued persuading her, “Xingyu, I’m only looking out for your best interests. I’m genuinely worried that if things continue like this, one day she might drive you out of the Gu family…”

“Siyu sister, thank you for caring about me. I know you mean well, but you don’t have to keep persuading me. I know what to do,” Gu Xingyu said before hanging up the phone directly.

Hearing the sound of Gu Xingyu angrily hanging up the phone, Lu Siyu on the other end of the line smirked.

In the afternoon after school, Lu Miao took a taxi to Xu Zhenzhen’s house.

Previously, she borrowed Xu Ran’s Three Pure Bell. After the array was broken, she was first sent to the hospital. Then it was Gu Zhixing’s matter. She was even dragged to the capital by Gu Ziheng. She had never had time to return it.

Moreover, the spirits of Xu Zhenzhen and her parents were still in the human world.

After pressing the doorbell, Xu Xinran quickly came to open the door. Xu Zhenzhen followed behind her, bouncing around with the two little chirps on her head.

When she saw that it was her, she happily pulled her and called her sister.

Lu Miao ruffled her little head and then looked up and down at Xu Xinran.

With refined makeup, she looked much better than the last time Lu Miao saw her.

Pressing her lips together, Lu Miao entered the house with her.

They sat down on the living room sofa, and Xu Xinran poured tea for her before gently addressing Xu Zhenzhen, “Zhenzhen, go play with your grandparents first. Mom and sister Lu Miao need to talk.”

“Alright, Sister, don’t leave, okay? Zhenzhen will come to play with you in a while, ” Xu Zhenzhen looked up at Lu Miao and said sweetly.

Lu Miao nodded with a smile, “Sure.”

The little girl skipped away cheerfully.

Lu Miao reached into her bag and took out the Three Pure Bell, placing it on the table in front of her. “Miss Xu, here’s your bell. Thank you.”

Xu Xinran clenched her fists and said with difficulty,” Master, I have a presumptuous request that I would like to discuss with you.”

Lu Miao tapped the table lightly with her fingertips and looked up at her.” You want to use the Three Pure Bells to exchange for the gourd pendant?”

“Not entirely,” Xu Xinran bit her lip. “I just want to borrow this gourd pendant from you for a while. But don’t worry, I won’t borrow it for free. I’m giving you the Three Pure Bell as compensation for lending me the pendant. At most, six months, and I will definitely return the pendant to you.”

Lu Miao withdrew her hand, “You want to use the pendant to spend more time with them until your body can’t hold on any longer, and then go with them.” Xu Xinran remained silent without speaking.

Zhenzhen had mentioned before that bad uncles used to come to take people away at night.

But the pendant could keep Zhenzhen and her parents safe at night. This way, not only would tney avoid tne danger ot being taken away, but tne Impact tney had on her would also be somewhat diminished compared to before.

She had no family left, and she couldn’t bear to simply let them go and live alone in this world.

Moreover, her body wouldn’t hold up for much longer. In that case, she’d rather spend more time with them until her final moments.

By agreeing to this, she was essentially accepting it.

Lu Miao raised her hand and touched her forehead, “And if I don’t agree?”

Xu Xinran smiled bitterly, “It’s okay if you don’t agree. It just means they’ll have less time with me. I just feel regretful that I won’t be able to see Zhenzhen grow up and take care of my parents as they age. So, I want to spend as much time with them as possible.”

“You’re putting on makeup to conceal your changing complexion in front of them. But have you asked for their opinion?” Lu Miao inquired.

“Master, I’ve already made up my mind. You don’t need to persuade me anymore. Thank you for helping me see them. I’ll prepare a will in advance, and when I’m gone, I’ll give you the Three Pure Bell.”

After Xu Xinran explained everything, she felt much calmer. She smiled and said,” As long as you can use it to help more people, it’s a good thing for me.”

Lu Miao sighed.” I have another way.”

Xu Xinran’s eyes lit up instantly, looking at Lu Miao with excitement and nervousness. “What method? Master, please tell me. As long as I can spend more time with them, I’m willing to pay any price.”

“Let them follow me. I will set up memorial tablets for them in the City God Temple and place them there. However, this requires you to personally go to the City God Temple, offer continuous prayers day and night, and keep the incense burning,” Lu Miao explained.

As soon as Lu Miao finished speaking, Xu Xinran nodded eagerly, “I’m willing.”

“Think it through. This means that you’ll be bound to the City God Temple for the rest of your life and won’t be able to leave,” Lu Miao reminded her once again.

“I’m willing, I’m willing,” Xu Xinran repeated twice, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Living day and night with the spirits had taken a toll on her health. Based on the current situation, even if Lu Miao lent her the pendant, she could only hold on for another six months at most. In comparison, being able to stay with them for a lifetime in the City God Temple was an incredible gift!

Lu Miao nodded, “Alright, I’ll take them back today and arrange everything. I’ll call you once it’s sorted.”

After finalizing their plan, Lu Miao spent a little while playing with Xu Zhenzhen before taking her and the two elderly spirits with her. She didn’t stay for long and left after ensuring they were settled.

Xu Xinran personally escorted her to the door, knowing that she didn’t have a car. Without hesitation, she grabbed the car key from the table, which belonged to a brand-new G model, and placed it in Lu Miao’s hand.

“I bought this car just two months ago, and Wen Yaoyang hasn’t driven it much. I won’t need it in the future anyway. Consider it a small token of gratitude from me to you.”

For all the help Lu Miao had provided, giving her a car was a minor gesture. Xu Xinran had already started considering how to liquidate her assets at home and convert them into cash to give to Lu Miao.

Lu Miao could only sigh helplessly, “It’s not that I don’t want to accept it, but at my age, driving on the road might not be a good idea if I end up getting caught.”

In the end, Lu Miao had truly helped her in a significant way. Even if she had given her all her possessions, it wouldn’t have been too much..
