"Here he comes, he's coming out..." When Wan Hongguang and Song Hushan peeked through the gaps in the metal fence, they suddenly saw a dark figure approaching from afar. Judging by the silhouette, it should be Xiao Yu.

Song Hualing and Zhou Ruoying, who were seated inside the car, heard the shouts of Wan Hongguang's group and all got out of the car to look at the metal fence with hope in their eyes.

When Xiao Yu walked up to the entrance of the metal fence and saw several people outside, he sighed in relief. As soon as Xiao Yu stepped out from behind the metal fence, his feet were unsteady and he nearly lost balance.

"Xiao Brother, how are you Are you alright" Song Hushan and Wan Hongguang, who had been waiting at the entrance of the fence, saw that when Xiao Yu came out, his face was pale and he almost stumbled. They hurriedly rushed forward to support him with worried expressions.

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Help me into the car."

Seeing Xiao Yu come out, Song Hualing and Zhou Ruoying also rushed over quickly. However, seeing Xiao Yu’s state, they did not say anything despite their mouths opening to speak. When they saw him get into the car, they followed suit.

The look in Wan Hongguang's driver Zhiguo and the three female PLA soldiers' eyes towards Xiao Yu was no longer that of looking at a charlatan but one filled with admiration. After all, they were all from rural backgrounds, having heard village elders talk about some ghost stories to varying degrees, so they had some level of acceptance. Moreover, today's incident was something they had witnessed firsthand; it would be impossible for them not to believe it. However, they wouldn't tell others as no one would likely believe them anyway and might even accuse them of promoting feudal superstition, which is strictly forbidden in the military.

"Xiao Yu, how's it going Did you find her" Once inside the car, Song Hualing could not hold back any longer. She looked at Xiao Yu with hopeful eyes brimming with anxiety, dreading to hear bad news from his mouth. If she couldn't find her here, she didn’t know where else to look—could she just watch her daughter live a life of dim-wittedness

Upon hearing Song Hualing's question, Wan Hongguang and Song Hushan also turned their gaze towards Xiao Yu. Even Wang Zhiguo in the driver’s seat, although outwardly calm, had his ears pricked up waiting for Xiao Yu's answer.

In reality, Wang Zhiguo was not as composed as he appeared. Since he started working as a chauffeur for Wan Hongguang several years ago, Wan Jia Yi never treated him merely as a driver but rather like an older brother from the neighborhood whom she respected greatly. When Wang Zhiguo saw Wan Jia Yi, it reminded him of his own younger sister back in their rural hometown.

Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly with hope-filled eyes, Xiao Yu nodded and smiled faintly before saying, "I've already found her!"

Hearing this from Xiao Yu, Wan Hongguang's group was initially stunned but then erupted into cheers. Watching their excitement, Xiao Yu felt a sense of satisfaction well up inside him.

After Wan Hongguang and the others calmed down, when they looked at Xiao Yu, their faces were full of gratitude. Seeing Xiao Yu's weak appearance and pale complexion, they didn't need to think to know that this journey hadn't been smooth sailing.

In the car behind, the three female PLA soldiers exchanged glances upon hearing the cheers from the front car, showing expressions of surprise. At this moment, in their hearts, Xiao Yu was already associated with mystery.

"Brother Xiao... Thank you!" At this time, Wan Hongguang didn't know what else to say and could only bow deeply, saying it excitedly.

"Yes, Xiao Yu, really thank you!" Zhou Ruoying's look at Xiao Yu now had a hint of awe mixed with closeness. After all, mysterious things always make people feel awe.

"Let's hurry back! So that she can wake up sooner!" Seeing the slight distance in Zhou Ruoying and others' gazes towards him, Xiao Yu gave a helpless smile. He said this looking at the umbrella in his hand.

In fact, when Song Hushan looked at Xiao Yu, there was neither distance nor estrangement; instead, there was a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Wan Hongguang and others noticed that Xiao Yu's left hand held an oil paper umbrella only after he had pointed to it. They clearly remembered that when Xiao Yu entered, he hadn't brought anything with him, but upon returning, there was now an ancient-style oil paper umbrella. However, considering Xiao Yu's mysterious nature, this wasn't surprising at all.

The car quickly started and headed towards Wan Hongguang's house. Upon arriving at Wan Hongguang's home and entering Wan Jiayi's bedroom, Xiao Yu said to Song Hushan and others behind him: "You guys go out first!"

Song Hualing and Zhou Ruoying looked back longingly at the unconscious Wan Jiayi lying on the bed. After everyone in the room had left, Xiao Yu opened the umbrella, allowing Wan Jiayi's soul and the earth spirit to float out from it. Seeing her own silly self lying on the bed, Wan Jiayi felt very strange. Having her soul standing here observing her body made her feel awkward inside.

Wan Jiayi's soul flew around in the room, looking at the familiar environment and feeling the pull of her body. She was about to fly towards it.

Suddenly, Wan Jiayi forcefully suppressed her impulse to return to her body and turned to look at the earth spirit: "Earth Brother, will I still be able to see you after I reincarnate"

The earth spirit didn't want to deceive Wan Jiayi. Shaking his head slowly, he said: "After reincarnation, it's a separation between Yin and Yang; we won't ever meet again!"

"Ah... Then I won't reincarnate! I'll still stay with you!" Hearing that she wouldn't see the earth spirit after reincarnation, Wan Jiayi exclaimed.

For more than half a year, Wan Jiayi had been with the Earth Ghost. The Earth Ghost accommodated and took care of her in everything, but now that she would never see him again from this day forward, she felt an overwhelming sense of reluctance.

"Silly girl, your family is waiting for you! Besides, since your physical body isn’t dead yet, how can you not return to it" Upon hearing Wan Jiayi's wish to stay with him, the Earth Ghost was very relieved. However, he knew that he couldn't be so selfish and said firmly.

For more than half a year, the Earth Ghost had been watching this mischievous little girl every day until it became a habit for him. He had even made up his mind to accompany her until their souls were scattered.

But he didn't expect that Wan Jiayi's physical body still existed. Now, upon hearing her words, he wanted to keep her by his side, but he knew he couldn’t be so selfish; Wan Jiayi should have her own life.

Wan Jiayi looked at the Earth Ghost with reluctance and slowly flew towards her physical body. Her soul gradually became ethereal as it merged back into her body.

Xiao Yu saw that Wan Jiayi's soul had fully merged with her body, so he opened the door and allowed Wan Hongguang and others who were waiting outside to enter the room.

Song Hualing, Wan Hongguang, and Song Shanshan entered the room and saw Wan Jiayi lying on the bed slowly opening her eyes. Although there was still a hint of confusion in her eyes, the sparkle within them told them that she had regained consciousness.

"Jiayi, you’re finally awake! You scared Mom to death!" Upon seeing that Wan Jiayi had awakened, Song Hualing quickly walked over to her bedside and hugged her, crying.

Wan Jiayi opened her eyes lying on the bed, looked around in a daze, then saw her mother hugging and crying over her and was stunned. She asked, "Mom, what's wrong Why are you crying What happened How did I end up at home Didn't I go out to play with my classmates"

“Hahaha… Good!…” Wan Hongguang burst into laughter: "Jiayi, you're finally awake!" Although he was laughing, tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"It’s nothing, I’m just so relieved to see that you’re awake," Song Hualing said blankly upon hearing her daughter's words. Her heart skipped a beat: did she forget about the accident She then turned and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu walked over beside Wan Jiayi and took her pulse. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Jiayi’s body is fine, but it seems that an injury to her cerebral cortex caused the loss or sealing of memories during the healing process!"

Earlier, Xiao Yu had been wondering if Wan Jiayi would remember being a ghost when she merged back with her physical body. He never expected how miraculous nature was and found that it simply sealed away her memories from this period as a ghost.

"Then she won't have any other aftereffects, right" When Wan Hongguang heard Xiao Yu say that Wan Jiayi only lost a segment of her memory, he secretly sighed with relief but was still worried about potential side effects.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "No."

Seeing that Wan Jiayi had recovered from the worst, Xiao Yu felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue. He bid farewell to Wan Hongguang and went to rest in the guest room Wan Hongguang had prepared for him.

The next morning, Xiao Yu woke up from meditation. After a night of sitting practice, his spirits were somewhat restored, and he noticed that his cultivation speed with the Righteousness Technique had increased by one-third compared to usual, which was quite surprising. However, this wasn't necessarily bad, so he didn't delve deeper into it.

Xiao Yu stretched a bit and moved his slightly stiffened body from sitting meditation into the living room, where Wan Hongguang's family, Song Hushan’s family, and Wan Jiayi were chatting.

Upon seeing Xiao Yu come out, everyone stood up and looked at him with gratitude. It was simply incredible to think that Wan Jiayi, who had been declared by multiple hospitals and rehabilitation centers as someone who would never wake up again, had been cured in less than twenty days by Xiao Yu.

Wan Jiayi curiously looked at Xiao Yu; last night she heard from her mother how she got injured and became a vegetative state patient before being declared uncurable. It was Xiao Yu who put his heart into saving her, but initially, Wan Jiayi thought he was an old man, only to learn that he was the young man she briefly met the previous evening.

Of course, Song Hualing didn't mention the part about Xiao Yu summoning Wan Jiayi's soul back; instead, he described Xiao Yu as a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

"Little Brother Xiao, please sit down and rest for a while. We will go eat soon!" When Wan Hongguang saw Xiao Yu approaching, he quickly offered him a seat.

Seeing that Wan Jiayi's complexion was rosy and her breathing steady, indicating she had fully recovered, Xiao Yu politely excused himself from the family. He hadn't been home for over half a month now, so he naturally wanted to return as soon as possible.

The moment "going home" was mentioned, Xiao Yu couldn’t stay still any longer and wished to get back immediately. Naturally, he didn't have time to eat breakfast, planning instead to grab something on the way.

Seeing how eager Xiao Yu was to go home, Wan Hongguang and Song Hushan asked their driver Wang Zhiguo to take him there. On the road, Xiao Yu ate some breakfast with Wang Zhiguo before continuing his journey. After more than two hours of travel, Xiao Yu finally returned to his hometown.t making much fuss.To them, this kind of achievement seemed nothing short of miraculous. If they hadn't seen him for over a year and learned he'd become a billionaire, they would believe it because we...
