Chapter 155: The Soul of Another World Returns to Its Original Body
The boy who opened the door gave him a suspicious look and said, "Please wait a moment."
Although he didn't quite believe it, he decided to give it a try and went to report it anyway.
Not long after, Ling Feng hurried out, "Is what the Taoist said true? If you can really cure my daughter's crying, I will give you whatever you want."
"My name is Wujin, I have no desire in life, everything in the world is predestined, let me go and see the young lady."
"Master Wu Jin, please come this way." Ling Feng bowed respectfully and walked in front to lead the way.
Taoist Wu Jin looked at him for a long time, then said, "Miss's destiny is not here, but in another world."
"What do you mean?" Ling Feng and his wife were both confused.
"The young lady's soul and spirit have left her body and gone to another world to recuperate. From now on, the young lady will be mentally incomplete and heartless."
The general's wife, Mrs. Qiao, was so frightened that she sat on the ground.
Ling Feng hurriedly helped his beloved wife up, "Please Taoist Wu Jin save my daughter."
Taoist Wu Jin shook his head and said, "Everything in the world is determined by fate. If you forcefully call back the soul, I'm afraid you'll end up with a beautiful but tragic life."
"Now, one soul and one spirit will go to another world to recuperate. When the time is right, they will come back. Then the young lady will be able to recover and return to normal."
Ling Feng and Qiao were silent for a long time before they finally accepted this news that overturned their cognition.
"Master Wujin, what's wrong with that little girl's crying?"
Taoist Wu Jin waved his whisk and said, "Miss, aren't you crying now?"
When the two looked over, they saw that Ling Shuangshuang had indeed stopped crying and was sleeping soundly.
"Thank you..." The two turned around, but only saw the back of Taoist Wu Jin leaving.
There were also words he transmitted from afar, "Your daughter will face another disaster this year, which may separate you for several years. You can give her a new name so that you can recognize each other in the future."
The couple were both startled and ran after him, but Taoist Wu Jin was nowhere to be seen.
"Madam, what do you think of what Taoist Wu Jin said just now?"
Jiang said gently but firmly, "My husband, it is better to believe it than not to believe it."
"Alas!" Ling Feng sighed deeply, "Our daughter has suffered so much. Madam, please give her another name."
"Okay." Qiao looked at the moonlight outside that was gently covering the earth and said, "Let's call her Ling Yueqing. She is as gentle as the moon and as beautiful as a country."
"Okay, I'll do as you wish, ma'am."
Later, just as Taoist Wu Jin had said, after Ling Yueqing recovered, she was no longer as cheerful and playful as before. Instead, she would often stare at one place stupidly, neither crying nor making a fuss, which made people feel heartbroken.
Taoist Priest Wu Jin's prophecy soon came true.
Ling Feng received the order to go to the battle. After just a few days, several men in black broke into the general's mansion, burning, killing, looting and setting a fire.
At the critical moment, Mrs. Qiao handed her daughter to Nanny Li, "Nanny Li, take Qing'er away quickly. Remember, from now on she will only be called Ling Yueqing. The name Ling Shuangshuang is not allowed to be mentioned anymore."
"Madam, I will stop them. You take the young lady away." Nanny Li refused to leave. As a servant, there was no way she could leave her master alone and run away.
"Madame Li, please don't say more. I'm weak and can't run far. Qing'er is now in your care. You must let her grow up safely."
Qiao placed the jade pendant in Ling Yueqing's arms, then bowed deeply, "Luo Wan thanks you in advance."
Madam Li returned the greeting and said, "Madam, rest assured. I will protect the young lady even if it costs my life. Please take care of yourself, Madam."
After saying that, Nanny Li gritted her teeth, picked up Ling Yueqing and ran away. Thanks to the fact that Ling Yueqing didn't cry or make a fuss, they escaped very smoothly.
The rest of the people were not so lucky. More than half of the people in the mansion were killed or injured. When the city defense troops arrived, they only had time to put out the raging fire.
After receiving the letter, Ling Feng rushed back day and night, but he only saw his injured and unconscious wife and the empty and dilapidated yard.
Ling Feng sighed deeply, looked at Ling Yueqing and said, "After that, I resigned from my post to the Emperor, and focused on taking care of your mother at home while sending people to look for your whereabouts."
"It's my fault. I haven't cured your mother or found you in all these years."
The iron-willed General Ling also shed heroic tears at this moment.
Ling Yueqing didn't know what to say for a moment. She had shocked others several times, and this time it was her turn to be shocked.
As far as she could remember, it was after she was five years old, when she was already in an orphanage.
Unexpectedly, she was actually a person from ancient times, and this time she didn't travel through time, but returned.
This body originally belonged to her, and she was Ling Yueqing, the daughter of Ling Feng.
After a moment's pause, she gladly accepted it. She was a person with a strong ability to accept things, so this result was good for her. Otherwise, she would always feel like she was occupying someone else's body.
Especially after being with Xiao Mingchen, I sometimes worried about his sudden arrival or sudden departure, but now I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
It was obvious that Xiao Mingchen thought the same, and there was an imperceptible joy in his eyes when he looked at Ling Yueqing.
Ling Yueqing looked towards Ling Feng and called out, "Dad."
"Oh!" Ling Feng's eyes were full of shock and joy. He never thought that happiness could come so suddenly.
He had imagined the scene of finding his daughter several times, and he had also silently rehearsed in his mind several times how to make his daughter believe what he said, but when it really happened, he was still a little ecstatic.
"Okay, okay, if your mother knew that you grew up safely, she would definitely be very happy."
After the two talked for a while, Ling Yueqing asked, "Dad, didn't you resign from your post? Then why did you go to the battlefield again this time?"
Xue Feng sighed deeply, "To be honest, your mother has not been in good health since the incident thirteen years ago. She sleeps more than she is awake. I have sought out famous doctors over the years, but not only has she not been cured, her condition has only gotten worse."
"Now your mother only wakes up a few times a month, and the time she is awake is getting shorter and shorter."
"A few days ago, the emperor sent someone to find me and said that there is a miracle doctor who can cure your mother. The condition is that I will lead the army to fight again. Regardless of whether I win or lose, I will cure your mother as scheduled."
"So I came. I haven't launched an attack these days because I want to wait for the news that your mother has recovered. I have been used to a peaceful life these years. I no longer have the killing spirit in my heart and can't lead the troops."
"But just yesterday, I received news that your mother was critically ill. She might not live long, so I wanted to make this a quick decision. Even if I lose and have to be punished, I have to rush back as fast as possible."
Ling Yueqing comforted him, "Dad, it seems like this is a good time for us to meet each other. I may not be good at other things, but I am really good at treating illnesses."
