Chapter 208 I picked up a deity as my disciple!
Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan never expected that their guilty conscience would expose them instead.
Now that he was exposed, he had no more worries and simply found a comfortable position to fall asleep.
Over the next two days, the torrential rains in Ontario, Southern Ontario, and Hamburg, like those in Henan Province, gradually came to an abrupt end.
People no longer have to live in fear, constantly checking the weather forecast, and are filled with the joy of surviving a disaster. Meanwhile, everyone is talking about how the sudden stop of the rainstorm was a divine intervention. Just wait and see, the rainstorm in Jiangsu Province will also stop tomorrow.
The meteorological experts tried to explain that it was due to atmospheric circulation, but no one believed them. They thought, "If you're so good, how come you didn't predict the weather would clear up? The weather forecast was wrong for three days in a row."
Lin Xi and Lin Dayuan have been eating and sleeping in the car for the past few days, and they have been working to stop the rain and reinforce the dams everywhere. They look visibly haggard.
Although Lin Dayuan was sore all over, he was in good spirits. He and his daughter were doing a great thing, protecting the property and lives of countless people. Every time he saw the relieved smiles on people's faces, he felt extremely proud and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Xi was the same; she also received Love Coins.
The 300,000 Love Coins I had before setting off have been accumulating as they've been used up, and now they've reached 600,000. I've used more than ten Defense Talismans and six Rain Stopping Talismans, spending over four million Love Coins. Fortunately, the income is also considerable, so I'm not going to be broke.
Now that only Jiangsu Province remains, once that's done, she can go home. With that in mind, Lin Xi sent a text message to Lin Guiying, telling them not to worry, as she and her father would be returning soon.
Since her granddaughter passed away, Lin Guiying has been sitting at home watching the news every day, keeping a close eye on the latest reports from the southern region. She has even stopped going to her favorite square dancing.
When her phone beeped, she immediately opened it, and after reading the message, a loving smile appeared on her face.
My granddaughter is finally coming home!
She awkwardly typed a reply, "Okay, Grandma will wait for you to come back. Be careful."
As if she had thought of something, she typed for a long time but didn't send it, looking conflicted. Should she tell Xiaoxi that her master and mistress already knew the truth? Oh well, she'd talk about it when she got back.
Xiao Xi, you really can't blame Grandma for this. Your master is your master after all. How could you possibly hide it from him?
The next morning, after Liu Erli went to the shop, Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu arrived at the Lin family's house with dark circles under their eyes.
Neither of them slept well that night; one sat in the study all night, while the other lay in bed staring blankly into his mind.
As soon as Wu Jingshu entered, she said, "Guiying, are you out of your mind! How could you allow Xiaoxi to go to such a dangerous place!"
Lin Guiying knew that only that fool Liu Erli would believe what she said yesterday.
Seeing their haggard and anxious appearance, I felt guilty and showed them the text message Lin Xi sent to let me know she was safe.
“Jing Shu, Xiao Xi didn’t want to tell you because she was afraid you would worry. Before she left, she said she would be back in less than a week, so don’t worry too much.”
Although she was extremely worried, she could only say this to Mr. and Mrs. Fu Wenyuan.
Wu Jingshu felt somewhat relieved, but was still a little dissatisfied. "How could you bear to let her go? Even if Da Yuan accompanied her, it wouldn't be enough. If something happens, we won't be able to help in time, given how far away it is."
Fu Wenyuan also said, "Xiao Xi does have some skills, but how many people can she save? Can she defy God? Gui Ying, you... just say I'm sick, very sick, and quickly call her back."
Wu Jingshu's eyes lit up. "Yes, Guiying, that's what we should say! Xiaoxi has always been filial, she'll definitely come back!"
Lin Guiying looked troubled. She knew this was a good method, and it always worked, but she didn't know how heartbroken her granddaughter would be if she came back and found out the truth. She didn't want to deceive the child.
She pulled Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu, who were looking at her expectantly, to the sofa. "You two have taken the Qi-strengthening Pill, so you should know that Xiaoxi has some special abilities."
Fu Wenyuan became even more anxious upon hearing this, "She has to feed each person the pills one by one? Isn't that even more dangerous?"
"Don't worry, she has some skills that you don't know about. Now that we're family, I won't hide it from you. You only know that she rushed into the fire to save people, but do you know how she put out the fire?"
Fu Wenyuan was taken aback. "Didn't it just happen to rain?"
"Yes, but that rain was something Xiaoxi begged for. Otherwise, how could it be that it was raining in the forest when everything else was cloudless? How could the rain stop as soon as the fire was extinguished? What a coincidence! That's the real reason she fainted."
“She went to the south this time to stop the rain. She has the ability to do this but she doesn’t help. How can she live with herself? So even if I’m worried, I can’t stop her.”
“But you don’t need to worry too much.” Lin Guiying pointed to the sky. “There will be someone protecting her up there.”
Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu were both stunned and couldn't come to their senses for a long time.
If they didn't know Lin Xi, they would definitely think Lin Guiying had mental problems just from what she said.
But they knew Lin Xi; she always seemed to possess things that shouldn't exist in this world, and her wisdom and insight far surpassed those of children her age. However, they didn't think much of it, nor did they want to.
Fu Wenyuan thought that some reclusive master was helping Lin Xi, but he never expected that this master was so great that he was actually a person from heaven. He had lived most of his life and was a staunch atheist. Now he was bewildered. What kind of world is this?
Wu Jingshu was the same. The more knowledge she learned, the more convinced she became of her own understanding. But now everything was shattered. Is this... a fantasy world?
However, the two quickly realized that they were about to be buried, so why should they think so much? Wasn't it a good thing that Xiao Xi was being protected by the gods?
They immediately began discussing things with Lin Guiying, such as the risk of her falling into a coma, what to do if she were discovered, and the need to remind the child to be careful. They also had some rather strange questions, like whether Xiaoxi was now considered a little fairy, and whether she would stay on earth forever. What if she flew up to heaven? ...
Ultimately, all the two elderly people wanted was for their child to grow up safely and happily by their side. No matter how capable or special she was, in their eyes, Lin Xi was just a child who hadn't grown up yet.
Lin Guiying felt extremely gratified. She knew that Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu were trustworthy, and that their concern and anxiety were genuine. She didn't mind saying more to put their minds at ease.
Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu listened with great interest, as if they had opened the door to a new world.
Then the news broadcast came over the television: "At 10:20 p.m. last night, the torrential rain in Lin'an City, Henan Province, suddenly stopped, which completely exceeded the experts' expectations, since they had previously predicted that the heavy rain would last for at least a week..."
"We received a call from a resident saying that outside his yard, one side was experiencing torrential rain while the other side was bathed in sunshine. Reporters are on their way to the scene..."
Lin Guiying's face lit up with pride, "It must have been Xiaoxi who did it."
