Inside the house, Lin Jiang and her sister hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice: "Sister, do you still remember what I told you before?"

  Wan Jieer slowly came back to herself and asked: "What was said?"

  "Those words about Yuwens downfall and the Lin familys destruction."

  "Sister Wan was shocked, Brother, are you serious?"

  She thought that was her brothers excuse to encourage her to live on, seeing her brothers solemn face, she couldnt help but say: "The child doesnt speak of strange powers and gods, where can ghostly affairs be accurate..."

  Wan Jieer froze, staring wide-eyed at the back of her brothers head. Half a beat later, she raised her hand to rub her eyes, and saw that the disheveled girl and the white-bearded old man were still standing behind her brother, and both of them nodded slightly towards her.

  Lin Jiang followed her gaze and couldnt help but glare at Bai Weng secretly, his sister was timid, if she suddenly appeared like this, what if she scared her to death?

  Bai Weng silently lowered his head, looking at the sky and the ground but avoiding Lin Jiang.

  Wans sister saw her brothers calm expression and slightly put down her guard, carefully asking: "Brother, who are these two?"

  "One is a celestial being, and the other is a helper found by my brother," he paused and said: "Sister Wan, I recently had some opportunities and inadvertently learned about past and future events. I also gained some skills. Although its difficult to prolong life, its not impossible. As long as your will is firm, living for several more decades is achievable. The accumulated merits of the Lin family over several generations are considerable, and using them to bless our descendants is only logical. So, you should reconsider?"

  Sister Wan looked at her brother, then at the two people behind him, and felt a sense of emotion in her heart. She slowly shook her head and said: "Since heaven and earth have spirits, ghosts and gods, there must also be reincarnation. Brother, please forgive Qingwan for being selfish."

  Since she and Xie Erge couldnt be husband and wife in the world of the living, they can finally be together in the afterlife.

  Lin Jiang understood and sighed: "Okay, then brother has one thing to ask of you."

  He turned his head to look at Lin Qingyan and said to Yan Jie, "This Miss Lin has the same name and surname as you, and her eight characters are compatible. She is a helper brought by Brother from another world. The life of Yubin should be on you and her."

  "You," Lin Jiang said with difficulty: "After you die, I want her to possess your corpse, perhaps it can give Yu Bin and the Lin family a glimmer of hope."

  Sister Qing looked at Lin Qing, clutched the quilt and asked, "Since brother can prolong his life, why not prolong his own life?" Why go to great lengths to find someone from outside instead?

  Lin Jiang said dejectedly: "I cant stay here for long, otherwise it will be detrimental to the Lin family, Yu Bin and this world."

  If he could live, why would he think of death?

  Even if he became an immortal after death, there was nothing more important in this world than his daughter and the Lin family.

  If he cant even preserve these two things, whats the point of him becoming an immortal?

  But Bai Weng said he was the reincarnation of a Golden Immortal, and once his body died, the sealed memories and magical powers would awaken, and this small world could not bear the presence of his soul.

  Otherwise, he wouldnt have gone to great lengths to run to a different realm to find Lin Qingyu.

  Wans sister glanced at the white-haired old man behind her brother, as if she had realized something. Her brother was able to obtain a heavenly fate, and it seemed that he wasnt an ordinary person. So, this is unavoidable?

  Wans heart was filled with sorrow and grief. Since the disaster of Geng Wu, the Lin family members lives were not long. Looking at her pale-faced brother, she remembered what he had said to her not long ago - that he only had half a year left to live.

  She slightly bit her lip, glanced at Lin Qingyan, and knew that this must be the person her brother had gone to great lengths to find. Although she was somewhat uneasy about her body being used by others, for the sake of the Lin family...

  Wans sister nodded slightly, seeming to agree, but couldnt help asking: "Then, will she get married in the future?"

  The three of them were stunned, clearly not expecting the little girl to ask this question.

  Lin Jiang was stunned and couldnt react, Lin Qingyan was the first to come back to her senses, shaking her head: "Of course not, my home is in another world, after Ive dealt with things here, I still have to go back home."

  Wans sister let out a sigh of relief, but still glanced at her brother. Lin Jiang hastily said: "No, I plan to have her guard the gate and return home as the mistress of the Lin family."

  Wans eyes lit up and she sat up straight, "Is it true? Then Ill have to get married with Xie Erge?"

  Lin Jiangs heart felt a pang of sadness, "Xie Er hasnt even been buried yet, I will discuss with the Xie family as soon as possible..."

  "Brother," said Wan Jie with a hopeful gaze, "Let me go to the wedding ceremony, even if its just holding the wedding tablet, Ill be content."

  Lin Jiang pursed his lips, and when Xie Yiming got into trouble, he was heartbroken and angry, but afterwards, he thought about his sisters future.

  He had planned it long ago, after changing his sisters fate, he would hurry to arrange another marriage for her, and even selected three candidates, but unfortunately, he didnt calculate his sisters feelings towards Xie Yimeng.

  She refused to continue her life!

  Looking at his sisters eyes, he reached out to touch her head and nodded in response: "Okay, but you have to survive until then. The wedding ceremony cant be done overnight."

  Sister Wan immediately became as happy as a child, "Brother, dont worry, I will definitely make it to the wedding ceremony."

  But Bai Weng still said to Lin Jiang: "Even if she is determined, it wont take more than ten days at most, so hurry up."

  Lin Qingwan looked at Wan Jie with a somewhat melancholic expression. She was only fifteen years old, still just a child.

  Wan Jie saw the unbearable and heartache on Lin Qingwans face, she couldnt help but smile slightly at her, "Miss, dont sympathize with me, Im feeling happy, a happiness that Ive never felt in the past half month."

  Lin Qingwan sat down beside her bed and asked, "Your fiancé must be very good, right?"

  Otherwise, how can she die for love?

  Wan Jies eyes sparkled as she smiled slightly, "He is of course good, he is the best person in this world."

  Wan Jie knew that Lin Qing Wan would be her in the future, and her brother kept her back mainly because he hoped they could spend more time together and understand each other, so as to avoid being discovered by others later.

  So although she was shy at heart, she was still willing to tell her about her and Xie Yimings affairs, and talking about these past events made her feel very happy, as if she had been soaked in honey.

  It was probably because she was about to marry the one she loved that Wan Jie was so happy, and after finishing her own story, she still had the enthusiasm to ask Lin Qingwan, "Lin girl, have you engaged?"

  Looking at Lins age, she should be married already, right?

  Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "No, I havent been as lucky as you, I still havent found the one I like."

  Wan Jie was surprised, "Miss, how old are you? Doesnt your family worry?"

  "Im just ten years older than you, at home," thinking of her grandfather lying in the hospital, Lin Qingwen said somewhat dejectedly: "Because Ive been studying in school all along and wasnt very old, so my family didnt rush. Now that Grandfather is seriously ill, hes probably getting anxious."

  So he secretly contacted his former comrades-in-arms, wanting to find a place for her to settle down.

  Wan Jies eyes widened in disbelief and she said: "Isnt twenty-five old enough?"

  Lin Qingwan looked at her silly appearance and couldnt help but laugh as she stroked her hair, saying: "In our place, its not uncommon for people to get married late. Many people dont get married until theyre over 30. Besides, the law has regulations, the legal marriage age for women is 20 years old, theres no upper limit, even if you never get married in your lifetime, the country wont bother you."

  Wans spirit shook, and she sighed: "Thats really good. Unlike here, if a woman isnt married by the time shes eighteen, she has to pay a penalty in silver. Ten or more years ago it was twenty, then it was lowered to nineteen, and now its been lowered again to eighteen."

  Although she has someone in mind and is eager to get married, she also knows that its better for a woman to marry later, like her older brother who originally wanted to keep her at home until she was over 17 before marrying her off, just barely meeting the legal age requirement.

  Only countries at war or after the war would lower the upper limit of marriage age. Lin Qingwen was still in the dark about Daliang, and upon hearing this, she couldnt help but ask, "Is Daliang at war, or has it just ended a war?"

  Wan Jieer looked at her with a puzzled expression, nodded and said: "Yes, two years ago we had a war with Da Chu, the eldest prince died in battle. I heard that the situation in Chu is still unstable now, General Zhong has been tied up on the border."

  Wan Jieer hesitated for a moment, but still couldnt help asking curiously, "How did Lin Niang guess that there would be war on the main beam?"

  Lin Qingwan sighed, "In the past, it was only when the population decreased too much and the country urgently needed new labor force that the marriage age would be lowered. I think apart from lowering the marriage age, the punishment for not getting married on time has also been increased?"

  Wan Jieer fell silent for a moment, then nodded dejectedly: "Yes, in the past it was a fine of five coins per year, but now families who are late to marry must pay an additional two coins, five bolts of cloth and one dou of grain."

  Lin Qingwan was shocked, "This fine is also too heavy, right?" It exceeded the head tax of all previous dynasties.

  "Yes, so girls are eager to get married early." Wan Jieer secretly glanced at Lin Qingwan, and at this age, she had not yet married or engaged, and it was the first time she saw such a rare girl.

  "Lins daughter just said youve been studying at the academy all along?" Yuen sister, to avoid her embarrassment, hastily changed the subject, "It seems that not only is the young lady intelligent, but also comes from a family of scholars, and has been able to study at the academy all along."

  Its really hard to read books in this era, its not something you can do just because you have money.

  Lin Qingwan knew she had misunderstood and couldnt help but laugh: "In our place, as long as youre not too stupid and have perseverance, anyone who wants to read this many books can do so."

  She lived in a good era, the cost of reading was not great, plus the expansion of schools, wanting to get into college, getting into graduate school, I dont know how much easier it would be than now.

  She studied history and knew how difficult it was in ancient times to produce a scholar, sometimes requiring the efforts of an entire clan or even village. A single book might require a family of three to go hungry for a year just to afford it.

  Lin Qingyuan then told her about the countrys nine-year compulsory education and talked a bit about their situation back in the day.

  Wan Jieer listened with a sparkle in her eyes, as the two of them took turns introducing the ancient and modern times. They surprisingly found that their understanding of certain things was astonishingly similar, despite being separated by over a thousand years. The two of them suddenly felt like they had met too late.

  Lin Qing looked at Wan Jie with admiration and said, "When I was your age, all I thought about every day was studying, what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or where to play with my classmates. Who would have thought about national policies and peoples livelihoods?"

  Every day after school, the first thing she does when she gets home is to turn on the TV and watch cartoons. After dinner, whenever her grandfather changes the channel to the news broadcast, she goes back to her room to do her homework, and by the time she finishes her homework, the news broadcast is also over.

  When she was a kid, she would fight with her grandfather over the remote control and roll around on the sofa. Sometimes, in order to prevent her grandfather from finding the remote control, she would deliberately throw it into the painting box, where there were dozens of scrolls of paintings, and her grandfather couldnt find it at all...

  If it werent for her having ten more years of experience, this modern woman would probably be ashamed to see this little girl.

  Wans younger sister was still young, but she had a remarkable presence of mind. When she heard her praise, she felt somewhat self-satisfied and said, "Xie Erge just said that if I were a boy, I could take the imperial examination with him and compete for honors and titles."

  As for her fiancé, Wans expression paused, and her face turned pale: "Actually, I know he was just coaxing me. How easy is it to be enfeoffed as a marquis? It was just to amuse me, but he was so good, yet hadnt even come out of the imperial examination before..."

  Wans sister bit her lip, holding back the tears in her eyes and said: "If I had known this earlier, I wouldnt have sent that poem, letting him travel thousands of miles from Xidu to return, only to lose his life in vain."

  Lin Qingwan pursed her lips and didnt speak, she had no idea what happened to them. However, she didnt want to ask her, lest it would tear open the wound in her heart again. She could only stretch out her hand to hold hers, hoping to give her some encouragement, but her hand went right through hers.

  Wan Jieer came back to her senses and smiled slightly at her, saying: "Lin sister, dont worry about me, Ive cried all the tears I should have in these two weeks."
