Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 264 Reflecting Heaven and Earth

Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Reflecting Heaven and Earth

"Grandma and Grandpa don’t care about me at all, I originally wanted to come out and find my mom and dad."

"Now I’m not looking anymore, I’m fine on my own."

Xia Wenbing said this with a smile, but his expression seemed somewhat desolate.

Perhaps he had looked for them, or even found them, but it just wasn’t what he expected, and he ultimately chose to wander alone.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Xia Wenbing shook his head immediately upon hearing this; if he had plans for his life, he wouldn’t be wandering and just getting by.

"How old are you?" Shen Siyuan asked again.

"Sixteen."

"When did you drop out of school?"

"I never went to primary school," Xia Wenbing said.

"At your age, going back to school might be impractical. Have you considered learning a craft?" Shen Siyuan thought for a moment and said.

"A craft?"

"Barbering?" Xia Wenbing tentatively asked.

"If you want to learn, I can find someone to teach you," Shen Siyuan said.

"I don’t want to learn," Xia Wenbing said.

Shen Siyuan frowned upon hearing this and then said, "It’s okay if you don’t learn, but you at least need the ability to support yourself. You’re sixteen; even manual labor in a factory might not take you, can you keep wandering like this forever?"

Xia Wenbing didn’t respond to that but turned his head and asked Xiao Xue, who was busy eating, "Are you going to adopt Xiao Xue?"

"I can’t adopt her, but I will find someone to take care of her. She is still young and definitely needs to go to school. She can’t always be wandering outside, struggling even to get food, and it’s not safe."

Shen Siyuan did not hide his thoughts, and Xiao Xue, who was busy eating, looked up at him with a frightened and uneasy expression.

Ruan Hongzhuang probably understood Shen Siyuan’s intentions and upon seeing Xiao Xue so panicked, comforted her, "Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid. The reason we can’t adopt you is that we do not meet the adoption criteria; the government won’t allow it. However, we will arrange for someone to take care of you, just like Tang Tang..."

Ruan Hongzhuang pointed to Tang Tang, who was engrossed in eating from a bowl.

Shen Siyuan gently rubbed Tang Tang’s little head with a somewhat amused expression, "You really can eat, didn’t you just have lunch?"

"Then... will you come to visit me?" Xiao Xue asked timidly.

Her gaze stayed on Shen Siyuan, with tears swirling in her eyes.

The reason she became so dependent on Shen Siyuan in such a short time was simply because he was a friend of her mom; it was that simple.

This also indirectly shows how important her mom is in her heart.

"Of course, we will come to visit you often. You can also call me if there’s anything."

"I don’t have a cell phone," Xiao Xue said softly.

"Don’t worry about these things; you’ll have one," Shen Siyuan said reassuringly.

Then he shifted his gaze back to Xia Wenbing.

"Can I come to visit Xiao Xue sometimes?" Xia Wenbing asked.

"Of course you can, but you should also think about what you’re going to do in the future," Shen Siyuan said.

This time, Xia Wenbing didn’t hesitate and asked directly, "Can I learn auto repair?"

"Auto repair? That’s really hard work," Shen Siyuan said, taken aback.

"I’m not afraid of hard work," Xia Wenbing said.

"If you want to learn auto repair, then learn it well. I’ll find someone to teach you..."

After finishing speaking with Xia Wenbing, Shen Siyuan didn’t bother them any longer and let them eat their fill.

Then, he drove them straight to Rainbow House.

And Xu Liangyou and his wife finally learned of Jiang Yingxue’s identity, the wife of the chairman of Eastern Shipping, a top ten large shipping conglomerate in the country, with assets worth hundreds of billions.

She provides funding for Rainbow House, so they don’t have to worry about funds in the future.

As for the cost of raising each child and the operating costs of Rainbow House, they already have this information, as Jiang Yingxue was not the first to donate to Rainbow House; there were some companies or individuals who were interested in these details.

After understanding the situation, Jiang Yingxue immediately approved funding from Eastern Shipping for Rainbow House and arranged for staff to connect with them this week.

Besides that, Jiang Yingxue personally donated three million at the scene, exactly ten times what Shen Siyuan and his wife had donated last time, filling the couple with great joy, as they no longer had to worry about the funds for Rainbow House.

So when Shen Siyuan returned and said that he wanted to leave Xiao Xue in Rainbow House and entrust her to Xia Wenbing for a few days, Xu Liangyou and his wife immediately agreed.

Had it been before, they would not have been so willing, as due to funding issues, the number of children Rainbow House could take in was limited; it was not a case of accepting however many that came.

They did not have the ability to provide salvation to all, they could only help as many children as possible within their ability, ensuring basic security for the children without expecting all to succeed, but at least to be self-reliant, not becoming a scourge to society.

Thus, when Shen Siyuan mentioned that Xia Wenbing wanted to learn auto repair, Xu Liangyou immediately took on the matter.

"Not all children are meant for academic study, so over the years I’ve also been in touch with some craftsmen. These masters are all carefully selected by me, not only are they good-natured, but they also teach real skills, making sure the children aren’t wasted..."

"You saying that puts me at ease, I was actually planning to ask a friend for help."

The friend Shen Siyuan referred to was naturally Hong Wenqing - his family was not only wealthy but also had some influence in Bin Hai; finding a job in auto repair was not difficult for him.

However, since Xu Liangyou could help, there was no need to trouble Hong Wenqing.

After understanding the details, Jiang Yingxue immediately smiled and said to Yu Guilan, "Add these two children to the personnel list we discussed before, and Eastern Shipping will take care of all their expenses from now on..."

Yu Guilan hadn’t even spoken when Jiang Yingxue added, "How about I double the number of personnel? I don’t know if you can handle twice the number of children?"

"We definitely can’t manage that. Taking care of thirty-two children is already our limit," Yu Guilan said.

"Then let’s make it forty, we can increase the budget a bit, and you can hire more staff," said Jiang Yingxue.

"That could work," Yu Guilan pondered.

Thus, Jiang Yingxue and Xu Liangyou redrafted the agreement, while Yu Guilan arranged beds for Xiao Xue and Xia Wenbing.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan once again sat on the steps in the courtyard; Tang Tang ran over and snuggled next to him, resting her small face on his leg.

"Do you want your daughter to see you with her own eyes? If you want, I have a way," Shen Siyuan said.

Wei Qiulan, standing aside, was stunned, and after a long while surprisingly asked, "You mean, let Xiao Xue see me?"

"Yes, I can make you visible, so not only can she see you, but she can also talk to you," replied Shen Siyuan.

Wei Qiulan was delighted to hear this, but then hesitated.

"Then after the meeting, do I have to leave? I can’t possibly stay with her forever, right?" Wei Qiulan cautiously asked.

"Of course, it’s only for a short rendezvous, or maybe a day’s time with her," Shen Siyuan replied.

It’s not possible for everyone to have the same privilege as Dou Dou and the others, becoming Banner Master souls of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, freely wandering the Mortal World.

That would not only completely disrupt social Order but also completely blur the boundaries between life and death.

"Then forget it."

Wei Qiulan declined the meeting with her daughter, which surprised Shen Siyuan.

However, Wei Qiulan had her reasons.

"I don’t want her to be heartbroken a second time."

"When I died, she was heartbroken once. Since I can’t guarantee to always be by her side, why make her heartbroken a second time?" Wei Qiulan said.

Her thoughts were right, but how many can achieve that? At least, Wei Qiulan was the first Shen Siyuan had encountered so far.

"I’ll go check on Xiao Xue," Wei Qiulan walked towards the house.

Shen Siyuan didn’t linger on her decision but instead looked up into the sky, his mind stirred, and the illusory shadow of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner flew out from his Sea of Consciousness, expanding into the wind, instantly spanning heaven and earth, casting an invisible shadow over the land.

And the shadows of everything under the sun started to twist, as if something terrifying was dragging them away, disappearing for an instant.

Tang Tang, who had been lying on Shen Siyuan’s legs, suddenly sat up straight, her eyes wide open staring into the void.

"Oh... oh..."

She pointed at the void with her hand, emitting incomprehensible sounds to Shen Siyuan in some panic.
