Chapter 433 - Repay Them In My Next Life
When Ms. Qiu was alive, she could not stand being judged by others. She could not stand being a sinner. She kept thinking that her body was filthy. It was so filthy that she could not stand it. It made her want to die immediately.
However, she was wrong.
The moment before she died, her son saw her.
That fearful gaze made her heart ache, causing her endless pain.
Her son was only ten. The night before, he told her not to be afraid.. Her son was braver than her, but she chose to abandon him!
So now, she wanted to accompany her son and stay by his side forever.
"Can"t I accompany him without hurting him?" Ms. Qiu asked with a trembling voice, "I want to protect my son. It doesn"t matter even if I can never be reincarnated. I can even disappear into thin air. All I want is to protect him for ten years."
Ten years later, his son would get married and have a family.
When he grew up, he would be braver than how he was now.
"Is this your wish?" Xie Qiao asked.
"Yes," Ms. Qiu nodded.
"Do you know how much effort your parents put in for you? Have you ever thought that they would do anything for you?" Xie Qiao asked, "You only think about what you owe your son, have you ever thought about what you owe others?"
Ms. Qiu trembled.
She did not dare to think about her parents.
"I-I"ll repay them in my next life..." Ms. Qiu was extremely humble.
Xie Qiao smiled, "In your next life... that"s far away."
Who knew if she could return?
"As a parent, and as someone who lost their child, they hope that their child can be reincarnated safely into a good family in the next life. If you choose to stay for ten years and use up your own fortune and virtue to protect your son, that would be stabbing a knife into your parents" hearts. Do you understand?" Xie Qiao asked.
How could Ms. Qiu not understand?
"Young Lady Xie, please... Don"t tell my parents..." Ms. Qiu immediately said.
"Some parents care about their children to the extent that they can understand each other telepathically. Whether you"re doing well or not, they might sense it. There"s no need for others to tell them," Xie Qiao"s att.i.tude remained the same.
Ms. Qiu covered her face and cried bitterly.
Xie Qiao was indifferent.
She had seen too many things like this.
Sometimes, she thought her father and brother had a pretty good att.i.tude. They knew that she could die at any time, but they still looked calm. Even if she really died, they would be able to think things through and would not dwell on it.
"My son is young... allow me to be selfish one last time. Please help me inform my Father. Tell him that his daughter is unfilial. I hope that my parents are well. Don"t be sad for their daughter."
Ms. Qiu"s soul knelt and bowed to Xie Qiao.
"Okay, if you insist, I will do that for you," Xie Qiao thought for a while and said.
Ms. Qiu felt better now.
Xie Qiao mentioned Ms. Qiu"s parents because she wanted to tell her that this was the law of the world. They would owe each other and no one would be able to repay them.
If she could figure it out, she would be reincarnated. It was better than being a ghoul.
A ghoul that was stupid enough to go to the academy.
If she floated around as she wished, she would vanish sooner or later.
Xie Qiao put her away for the time being.
When she saw Master Qiu later, she would tell him about the matter. Then, she would find a dharma instrument like a jade pendant and seal her inside so that Zhou Kaiyun could bring her along.
There was a connection between mother and son. If Zhou Kaiyun kept the jade, he would keep her as well. If Zhou Kaiyun was really in danger, the soul in the dharma instrument could indeed play a role.
However, ten years was so long. The possibility of accidents happening in the future was high.
For instance, if Zhou Kaiyun went astray, the jade he kept would also have some evil nature. It would not be good for Ms. Qiu either, and she would lose a lot of good karma.
