Chapter 1966 How old is he exactly?
Lu Zhaoling, however, felt that Qian Dingxing was more than worthy of her gratitude.
Because he also drew a portrait of her father, she gained a little more understanding of him, as if she had walked through the ghost market streets her father had frequented. It was on that occasion that she first felt that her and her father's paths could overlap.
Moreover, he saved Yama this time as well.
Yan Jun was also considered her elder.
Even without this connection, bringing back Yama would be equivalent to helping her junior brother, and her junior brother's affairs would be her affairs.
Even if Yin Yunting didn't ask her to convey her gratitude, she would still thank Qian Dingxing herself.
"Well deserved."
Lu Zhaoling said, "Then the little...child will stay there for now; that's where he should go."
At this moment, she couldn't say that it was Yama, nor could she directly say it was the Underworld.
“There are people he used to know there who can take care of him and help him find out the cause of his death. He will have his own place to go afterward.”
Qian Dingxing could tell that she wasn't entirely telling the truth, but she didn't doubt it too much and believed what she said later.
Upon hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and appeared much more relaxed.
“That’s wonderful. Otherwise, there would be nowhere to take him in, and I wouldn’t be able to keep him with me. I couldn’t even solve the problem of feeding him.”
He wanted to bring the child ghost to Lu Zhaoling, intending to entrust the child ghost to her or find a way to send him to the afterlife.
But Qian Dingxing also understood that it might not be so easy for a child ghost to be reborn in the Pure Land, because it seemed that there were still some other karmic ties that had not been severed.
Now that Lu Zhaoling has indeed managed to properly settle the child ghost, Qian Dingxing feels that he has achieved his goal for this trip.
“Yes, so you don’t need to worry. Also,” Lu Zhaoling added, “his acquaintances also asked me to convey their gratitude and to ask you if you have any requests or desires. If it is within my ability, I will definitely do it as a token of my appreciation to you.”
If the eldest disciple knew that she had referred to him as an acquaintance of the King of Hell, he would probably be speechless.
But you can't exactly call him a "familiar ghost," can you?
"I don't lack anything..."
Before Qian Dingxing could finish speaking, Sheng Xiaohan asked expectantly, "Brother A-Xing, didn't you say you don't quite remember how old you are? Can we ask a master to help you calculate it?"
She kept asking Qian Dingxing this question all afternoon. Qian Dingxing himself couldn't remember. After he turned fifty, he found that his appearance hadn't changed, so he became too lazy to remember how old he was.
Living for too long can sometimes feel quite disorienting.
So when Sheng Xiaohan pressed him for his age, he told her that he couldn't remember, but he was definitely much, much older than her.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Xiaohan now wants Lu Zhaoling to help him calculate how old he is.
Lu Zhaoling also did not expect Sheng Xiaohan to be so persistent.
"Xiao Han, you..."
Sheng Xiaohan hurriedly explained, "Master, I didn't want you to calculate Brother Xing's age because of my own selfish reasons. I just wanted to..."
She gritted her teeth, feeling a little embarrassed to continue.
It was only at this point that she realized this problem might be very cruel for Qian Dingxing.
However, she didn't dare to continue, but Qian Dingxing understood what she meant.
He looked at Sheng Xiaohan, his heart softened slightly, and he took the initiative to continue.
"You want to know when my life will end?"
"Brother Xing, I really didn't mean anything by it, I'm just a little worried about you." Sheng Xiaohan said anxiously.
“I know,” Qian Dingxing nodded and said, “It’s because I told you that I’m much older than you that you thought of this question. You’re afraid that I’m already past my prime.”
Sheng Xiaohan's eyes reddened.
“I don’t want you to die, but you always say you’re too old.”
Sheng Xiaohan was worried and heartbroken.
She was genuinely afraid that he was really old and about to die.
It had nothing to do with whether she was suitable to marry him; she simply didn't want him to die.
Sheng Xiaohan truly gave Qian Dingxing her whole heart.
Qian Dingxing sighed.
"Life and death are predetermined. Even if I die tomorrow, that's normal. I've lived long enough, and death is a very ordinary thing for me."
As he spoke, he saw tears streaming down Sheng Xiaohan's face.
Qian Dingxing paused.
Sheng Xiaohan turned around and ran out.
Qian Dingxing opened his mouth, but didn't call out to her.
However, Zhou Shiyue saw him move slightly, and in that instant, he subconsciously thought of getting up and chasing after him.
His eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
Lu Zhaoling said to Qingyin, "Go and see her."
"Yes, princess."
Qingyin followed her out.
Lu Zhaoling then turned to Qian Dingxing.
"Xiao Han has a lot of feelings for you."
“I have no doubt about that.” Qian Dingxing sighed. “A young girl’s infatuation is actually the purest, without any other motives.”
He never questioned or disliked such sincerity, nor did he show any impatience or dislike towards Sheng Xiaohan.
However, he consistently and earnestly rejected her.
I didn't expect her to be able to hold on for so long.
"Was what she just said true? Have you really forgotten how old you are?"
“I am indeed a little confused,” Qian Dingxing said, “but I have never thought about determining my age. I used to think that knowing exactly how old I was would not be of any use.”
Zhou Shiyue only spoke up at this moment.
"But now you're starting to wonder?"
Lu Zhaoling looked at him in surprise.
She felt like Zhou Shiyue knew Qian Dingxing's thoughts very well, even though they weren't familiar with each other at all. They couldn't have become acquainted just from playing a couple of games of chess, could they?
She quickly looked at Qian Dingxing, very curious whether Zhou Shiyue had guessed correctly.
Qian Dingxing was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly.
"Your Highness is right."
Huh? Lu Zhaoling was somewhat surprised.
Zhou Shiyue was right after all.
"Now I'm starting to wonder. If the result shows that I'm nearing the end of my life, then I can be even more ruthless to that girl, so she won't have to worry about me when I die."
Moreover, if he were really going to die, he wouldn't want to go back to the Ghost Market or see Sheng Xiaohan again.
He really had nowhere else to go before, and he didn't really care about this little girl. There was no need for him to leave the place he was used to just to avoid her.
But Sheng Xiaohan has grown up now, and we can't continue to let her be like she was when she was a child.
It's time for him to leave.
"If you can, please take a look at it for me."
Qian Dingxing said, "I also want to know if I'm about to die."
End this life where the appearance never changes.
Lu Zhaoling asked, "Do you really want to see it?"
"Look."
