Gu Lili, worried, asked him, "Then you have to hide well, don’t get caught."
"Don’t wander off anymore in the future," Gu Lili admonished, "Just stay in Xiliang Mountain, from now on, I want you to send me a message or call me every ten days."
Su Changzhi methodically pressed the lid of the pot, slowly pouring her a cup of green tea, "Are you worried about me?"
"Of course, I’m worried about you. You’re my friend. I don’t hope you reincarnate too soon now, I hope you can realize your dream, find the reincarnation of your beloved, and live the life you want to live."
"Lili, just tell me what you need help with, and I’ll take care of it."
"Changzhi, I don’t want you to help with this matter anymore." Gu Lili thought for a moment and insisted, "I’ll find another way."
"I’m unhappy with this," he said slowly, "I never even considered whether I would eventually reincarnate or not. If I find my beloved, her life is finite. If she dies, should I continue to seek her out? And if she’s grown old with many descendants, I couldn’t be with her either. Of course, maybe I’ll get caught by the Ghost Messenger before I find her, these are uncertainties. I want to help you because I have a request for you as well, so we’re mutually helping each other. If you don’t let me help you, then I can’t make my request." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
"It’s about Gu Xichen, the son of my master..." She told him everything, and in the end, she said, "Using such means to turn the tables is indeed dishonorable, and unfair to Mr. Gu, because the assets are his, and he has the right to decide on his own. But the world is inherently unfair, as others have been unfair to him, he has also done unfair things. In his assets, under the laws of S country, two-thirds belong to Gu Xichen. My master never divorced him until her death, legally she had control over half of Mr. Gu’s assets, and Gu Xichen, being Mr. Gu’s own son, has legal inheritance rights as well. All these have been entirely deprived by Mr. Gu."
Gu Lili paused for a moment, then continued, "Since he wants to start, why can’t we make a move too? I can’t just stand by and watch. If my master knows from the underworld, she would be very saddened. Everything I do is for my master; she adopted me, raised me, educated me. I haven’t had the chance to repay her before she left, so I can only repay it through Gu Xichen, because he is my master’s only biological son. Initially, when Gu Xichen and I broke off our engagement, I thought about cutting ties with him, not contacting him anymore. Now, as my relationship with him has warmed up after getting married, my thoughts have also changed."
Su Changzhi, after listening to so much, nodded his head, "Alright, I will handle this matter."
"I feel that when I die, I will definitely be cast into hell."
He raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"Do you need to ask? I’m too unkind to those who offended me."
Su Changzhi laughed with a "pfft", "In that case, don’t provoke anyone but especially not you."
"I’m not a saint, I can’t be as compromising and maintain my dignity like my master," Gu Lili drank her tea and leaned on the table, tapping her fingers against the cup making a ringing sound, "But it’s come to a point where there’s no turning back. If I live life without regrets, then facing Yama Palace, if I descend to hell, actually, I’ll have no complaints or regrets."
