Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?

At dusk, Shen Siyuan met Lan Xinyi once again.

As soon as they met, Lan Xinyi's mother, Bai Yulan, knelt before him.

"Thank you, Master Shen, Xinyi told me everything. Thank you for your help and for giving me the chance to see her again," Bai Yulan said while kowtowing to Shen Siyuan.

Not only did she kowtow herself, but she also pulled Lan Xinyi to kowtow.

"No need for this, meeting is fate."

Shen Siyuan quickly supported Bai Yulan's elbow, helping her stand up.

Bai Yulan felt her body lift lightly, and she was effortlessly raised, unable to kneel again.

Despite her weight of over a hundred pounds, his mere palm support made her feel weightless. How strong he must be.

This is truly a capable person, and her heart grew more respectful.

"Master Shen, I don't know how to thank you. This is my small token of appreciation, I hope you don't mind."

Bai Yulan took out a bank card and respectfully presented it to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan waved his hand and said, "I told you, meeting is fate, not for your money. Take it back."

Bai Yulan heard this and didn't know what to do for a moment, frozen in place. Shen Siyuan didn't take it, which made her anxious.

"Mom."

Lan Xinyi, who had been silent on the side, tugged at her mother's sleeve.

Bai Yulan glanced at her daughter, pursed her lips, and turned to Shen Siyuan again, "Master Shen, may I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Will I have another chance to see my daughter?" Bai Yulan asked hopefully.

Shen Siyuan looked at Bai Yulan and slowly nodded.

"Others may not, but you can."

Bai Yulan was surprised by his words but even more delighted.

She understood his words, knowing that he had seen she didn't have much time left.

"Then... please take care of Xinyi in the future," Bai Yulan said gratefully.

"Rest assured, when the time is right, I'll send her back to reincarnation," Shen Siyuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yulan tensed and quickly asked, "Will it be soon?"

"No, I believe your daughter has told you some things about ghosts?"

Bai Yulan nodded. Her daughter, being sensible, had told her everything she knew.

Through her daughter's words, she learned that death was not scary, but very lonely.

One could become a monstrous form, or a lonely wandering ghost, or let go of all attachments and completely disappear into this world.

This revelation made her no longer fear death, and even a bit joyful. This way, she could always accompany her daughter, so she wouldn't be alone.

She asked her daughter about the Underworld and reincarnation, but her daughter was clueless about it all.

Now, hearing Shen Siyuan mention reincarnation, she thought the prerequisite for reincarnation was having someone send the ghosts back.

"Thank you, I'll handle things quickly and come see Xinyi again."

Bai Yulan reached out and stroked her daughter's small head, looking at Shen Siyuan pleadingly.

Shen Siyuan understood her intentions and nodded in agreement.

Bai Yulan let out a deep breath and said, "Thank you."

She then released her daughter's hand, gently pushing her towards Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan smiled at Lan Xinyi, saying, "It's time, you should go back."

Lan Xinyi wouldn't resist Shen Siyuan's command, so she turned and waved at Bai Yulan.

"Mom, goodbye."

"Goodbye," Bai Yulan forced a smile, waving her hand.

Then Lan Xinyi disappeared before her eyes, turning into a gust of Yin Wind, returning to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Bai Yulan bowed to Shen Siyuan and turned to walk towards the beach.

She had just come from the back garden, leading her daughter.

Seeing Bai Yulan leave, Ruan Hongzhuang then walked over gracefully.

"Duoduo said that was the neighbor we met on the beach earlier," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Yes, that young girl is her daughter," Shen Siyuan casually explained.

"Ah, she's another unfortunate soul."

Ruan Hongzhuang sighed and didn't pursue further.

Being with Shen Siyuan, she had seen too many of these joys and sorrows.

Asking too much would only affect her emotions and cause herself distress.

"Having seen so many tragedies, aren't you affected?" Ruan Hongzhuang was curious.

Not to mention others, just the experiences of Xiao Yue and Duoduo alone were enough to make one grit their teeth, angry and sad.

Compared to them, Dou Dou was fortunate, as her death was accidental.

"I used to be, but not anymore," Shen Siyuan replied.

"Why?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked curiously.

"Because... because I have the sun in my heart," Shen Siyuan laughed.

"You're just spouting nonsense," Ruan Hongzhuang scolded playfully.

But soon her expression froze, remembering that brilliant sun in Shen Siyuan's consciousness, under which all ghosts and monsters had nowhere to hide.

Shen Siyuan actually meant it.

Bai Yulan descended the steps, glanced back, and her eyes were full of confusion.

Though she was filled with gratitude towards Shen Siyuan, her heart was full of worry.

No mother would entrust her child to a stranger.

She knew nothing about Shen Siyuan, whether he was good or bad, but did she have any choice?

She had thought of keeping her daughter, but her daughter shook her head, saying it was impossible, the Banner Master's words couldn't be ignored, she had to go back when the time came.

She didn't know what a Banner Master was but knew her daughter couldn't defy his orders.

However, judging from the previous children, he wasn't a bad person.

Of course, this was merely her own comfort.

She stood on the steps for a long while, then walked along the beach back to her home.

Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably, a fear of the unknown future, a lament for her and her daughter's fate...

The sunset elongated her shadow, making it appear desolate and lonely.

But once she returned home, she regained her composure and dried her tears.

She was always a very strong woman, otherwise, she would've ended her life long ago, being patient with the pain of losing her daughter for so many years.

She needed to arrange everything quickly, so her daughter wouldn't have to wait too long. Whatever her daughter was going to experience, she hoped to be by her side.

But before that, there was still one thing to do.

Her daughter couldn't die in vain.

He was living a happy life now, with a perfect family, what irony.

All of it was exchanged with her daughter's life, fate is so unfair.

If Heaven won't give her fairness, she would take it back herself.

A fierce glance appeared in Bai Yulan's eyes.
