Chapter 301 Heavenly Master 8
Although Gong Lanfang had said earlier that she would drive back overnight, she also feared that something might happen if she drove while tired. So after leaving Zhu Ming’s house and driving for over an hour, she found a hotel in a nearby county to stay overnight.
Early the next morning, the three of them ate breakfast. Only then did Gong Lanfang drive back home, and because she could always be with her mom and no longer had to stay at the grumpy grandmother’s place, Jiajia was especially happy.
She was very sensible and didn’t make a fuss. Her expression of joy was merely staring at her mother and constantly grinning with her rosy little mouth. This reaction made Gong Lanfang’s heart ache a little, and she resolved never to let her daughter suffer at the hands of that old lady again!
Initially, Gong Lanfang intended to take Situ Shuangshuang all the way home, but Situ Shuangshuang didn’t want that, so she got off halfway, used a Thousand Miles Talisman, and in the blink of an eye, she was at her doorstep.
When Situ Shuangshuang arrived home, there were four plates of stir-fried vegetables with warming talismans on the table inside. Although they were all vegetarian dishes, they were all her favorites. Her master, Chen Qi, sat by the table watching the news, and the warm feeling that rushed over made Situ Shuangshuang’s heart warm up involuntarily.
Seeing her little apprentice return, Chen Qi immediately got up and carefully examined Situ Shuangshuang from head to toe, concernedly asking, "Shuangshuang, how are you? Was it easy to handle this time? Did you have to take action? Was the opponent tough? Are you hurt?"
Situ Shuangshuang’s facial expression was stiff and cold from years of restraint, but her tone carried much warmth as she said, "I’m fine. This time it was just our class teacher, Teacher Gong’s child’s Life Soul leaving the body, which was easy to handle. It’s just that the child’s physical body was quite far away. Teacher Gong and I had to travel a distance overnight, which delayed my return home."
Hearing Situ Shuangshuang talk so lightly, and since returning a Life Soul to its body indeed posed no danger, Chen Qi also felt relieved, then continued earnestly to remind Situ Shuangshuang.
"As long as you’re not hurt, that’s what matters. No matter what, safety comes first. In the future, if you encounter powerful ghosts, demons, or monsters, if you can take them down, then do so. But if not, prioritize your safety and run away quickly! There’s nothing more important than your own life!"
Situ Shuangshuang didn’t know how many times she had heard these words from Chen Qi since she was a child. Still, every time, she listened earnestly, feeling touched, and made sure to agree wholeheartedly, repeatedly assuring that she would never overestimate her abilities or attempt to train demons and spirits she couldn’t handle, until Chen Qi was satisfied.
