Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Tracing the Bloodline of the Ancestors

Jiangli took the items, placed them on the table, and instructed Xia Xin, “Prepare a set of writing brushes and Vermilion Yellow Talisman Paper.”

“Yes!”

Xia Xin nodded, and like the wind, he dashed out in an instant.

Two minutes later, he hurried back in.

“Great Ancestor, I’ve brought everything you asked for.” Xia Xin laid the items out on the table, one by one.

Jiangli nodded slightly and picked up the brush to write down Shuaishuai’s birth date and time.

...

Meanwhile, ever since Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong had entered, Shuaishuai had been running around them, hopeful for their attention.

Liu Rongrong looked around as if searching for something.

“Rongrong, what’s wrong?” Xu Yang noticed his wife’s behavior and asked softly.

Liu Rongrong shook her head slightly, her eyes warm with emotion, “I don’t know why, but even though I can’t see Shuaishuai, it feels like he’s right here with us.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang’s nose tingled with emotion, and he held Liu Rongrong’s hand, saying nothing.

Unaware of these emotions, Shuaishuai kept running around his parents, hoping to get their attention.

But no matter how hard he tried, it seemed his parents couldn’t see him.

After a few laps, Shuaishuai sat on the ground red-eyed and on the verge of tears, looking dejected.

Perhaps because he had been with Shuaishuai for the past day and night, Xia Xin could see him.

Noticing that Shuaishuai was about to cry, Xia Xin felt sympathetic. Taking advantage of a moment when Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong weren’t looking, he went over, gently touched Shuaishuai’s little head, and quietly led him behind Jiangli.

Shuaishuai clung to Xia Xin’s leg, looking pitiful, but still staring at his parents, seemingly unable to understand why they were ignoring him.

He suddenly looked up at Xia Xin and asked, “Big brother, don’t my mom and dad want me anymore?”

Xia Xin glanced at the focused Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong, and whispered, “How could that be? Your mom and dad love you the most. Shuaishuai, you must believe that they absolutely don’t want to be separated from you. It’s just… there might be too many imperfections in this world, and they had no choice but to part from you.”

Shuaishuai didn’t understand, “But why…”

“Because…”

Xia Xin turned away from them, squatting down before Shuaishuai, looking into his teary eyes, not wanting to say what needed to be said, but he had to, “Because you’ve already died.”

Shuaishuai looked bewildered, “Died?”

“Yes, like older people or those who have had an accident, they must leave us at some point,” Xia Xin said, his thoughts drifting back to the old Taoist, “A few days ago, my master passed away, too. When you die, it means you have to part from us and go to a place far, far away. Although none of us wants that, it’s the way of nature, and we have to accept it.”

Shuaishuai hiccuped, “Like my grandpa? He also left, a long, long time ago, and I couldn’t see him anymore…”

Xia Xin patted his little head, uncertain of how to comfort him.

At that moment, Jiangli had finished writing down Shuaishuai’s birth date and time and placed it on a Talisman, looking towards Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong on the other side.

“I’ll need a bit of your blood.”

Xu Yang and Liu Rongrong were taken aback.

“Blood?”

“Yes, a blood connection makes the tracking more accurate,” Jiangli explained as she passed them a fruit knife, “Just a little bit will do.”

Thinking of their child, Liu Rongrong was the first to pick up the fruit knife and make a small cut on her fingertip.

Xu Yang also made a small cut.

The moment the fresh blood appeared, Jiangli took the Talisman Paper, dipped it in their blood, and dotted it on the Talisman core.

Immediately afterward, she folded the Talisman Paper into a triangle, stuffed it inside a stuffed tiger toy, and handed it to Liu Rongrong.
