Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 337 On the Road (Part 1)

Chapter 337: Chapter 337 On the Road (Part 1)

Lin Jianming and Tao Guangsha’s families naturally did not come to see Shen Siyuan off.

Although they "respect" Shen Siyuan very much and try their best to establish a good relationship with him, they are cunning people and will not take the initiative to suck up to someone, as it would be considered inferior.

They naturally came to see off their own daughters.

After carefully admonishing them, they instructed their daughters to obediently listen to Shen Siyuan.

Then, they whispered that if they encounter bad people, fight if they can, and run if they cannot.

Shen Siyuan: ...

After giving instructions, Shen Siyuan set off on a journey with the two little ones, once again on foot. Watching their receding figures, the two originally playful kids around Shen Siyuan suddenly disappeared, leaving only Shen Siyuan striding forward alone until he vanished.

When Shen Siyuan’s figure completely disappeared, Jiang Yingxue then said to Ruan Hongzhuang, "Let’s go, let’s go back."

Holding a bunch of flowers, Ruan Hongzhuang turned to head back to the residential area.

At this moment, Jiang Wenxin suddenly said, "Aunt Jiang, Hongzhuang, are you free tonight?"

Her attitude was very enthusiastic, she stepped forward and approached, with Tao Guangsha hurriedly following behind her.

"Aunt Jiang, you’ve been in Bin Hai for so long and I haven’t had the chance to host you. Are you free tonight to come over to my house for dinner? I’ll also call Taozi..."

Because of Taozi, Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Wenxin were fairly familiar, and their relationship was not bad, but it wasn’t to the extent of a dinner at home – after all, she and Taozi were just cousins, and Ruan Hongzhuang was merely a good friend of Taozi.

This familiarity was only because there were mutual interests binding the two families; otherwise, they might not even know each other.

So, she was almost unfamiliar with Jiang Yingxue, but at this moment, each reference as "Aunt Jiang" felt as if she was close family.

What kind of person is Jiang Yingxue? Don’t see her now as an elegant lady who seems only to enjoy life; in reality, she too had struggled up from the harsh business world, and her demeanor towards people and things was absolutely top-notch. Furthermore, with Ruan Hongzhuang currently in Bin Hai, she indeed received much care from the Jiang Family.

Thus, she responded warmly with a smile: "That’s very kind of you. Ruan Ruan has been under your care these past few years too, and I’d like to visit to express my thanks. So, I’ll take up your offer tonight."

"It’s no trouble at all. It’s our honor to have you. How could it be considered a disturbance?" Jiang Wenxin quickly said.

Tao Guangsha promptly added, "Then please excuse us, we’ll go back now to prepare."

"Alright, we won’t disturb you any longer then." Jiang Yingxue replied.

Upon hearing this, Tao Guangsha and his spouse turned to Lin Jianming and his spouse, who were nearby, nodded slightly, and then departed.

Lin Jianming also went to the store, leaving only Song Qingwei and Ruan Hongzhuang to walk back, chatting as they returned.

-----------------

Duoduo and Dou Dou circled around Shen Siyuan, playfully fluttering up and down, left and right, like two spirited cranes dancing in the air, finally showing a bit of a protector’s demeanor.

Shen Siyuan took off his shoes and walked barefoot, the Earth Element Qi unique from the "Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Sword" flowing within him, connecting with the earth’s energy, entering from the bubbling well, making him unify with the land.

Under the scorching sun overhead, emitting boundless light, the land was enveloped in brilliance, and Shen Siyuan bathed in it. The fierce sun radiated inside and out, the bright sun in his Sea of Consciousness became even more intense; its light illuminated every shadowy corner within, clearing his mind and soul of all darkness.

All demonic thoughts and malice, at this moment, either sunk to the deepest part of the Sea of Consciousness or perished under the fierce sun.

As Shen Siyuan continued to stride forward, his figure seemed to infinitely elongate, as if a giant walking upon the earth.

"Big brother is so incredible," Dou Dou whispered into Duoduo’s ear.

She lay on Duoduo’s back, riding her, letting her carry her as they flew through the air.

As the main souls on Shen Siyuan’s Ten Thousand Soul Banner, they could feel Shen Siyuan’s power at this moment more than anyone else.

Stepping on the land, with his head under the azure sky, his body radiating the brilliance of the sun, he was like a golden armored deity walking in the Mortal World.

Just then, Shen Siyuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked towards a car parked by the roadside not far away.

There were two middle-aged men sitting in the car. Dressed ordinarily, one was smoking and picking his feet, the other was eating and drinking, their gazes casually scanning the pedestrians on the road, appearing quite languid.

But at this moment, Shen Siyuan halted, directed his gaze at the two men, and revealed a faint smile.

Their eyes, having casually glanced around, were immediately drawn to him, instinctively looking up at each other. Upon seeing his smile, they felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

The smoker subconsciously extinguished his cigarette, put down his upturned foot, pulled out the tissue from between his toes, while the eater quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and showed an awkward smile, hurriedly grabbing a tissue from the person next to him to wipe the remnants around his mouth.

Shen Siyuan merely glanced at them briefly and did not stay long, but continued walking forward.

As they watched his retreating figure, both men let out a long sigh of relief, exchanged glances, the smoker tossed the cigarette butt out of the window, started the car, and drove away in the direction opposite to Shen Siyuan.

These two people were likely from the Special Affairs Bureau; if not, they should be from a cooperating unit of the bureau. They believed they were being secretive, but in fact, from the moment they arrived, Shen Siyuan was aware of them, he simply didn’t take them seriously.

Just now, on a whim, he gave them a slight hint while also conveying a message to the Special Affairs Bureau that he was not oblivious, just unconcerned.

Different from last time, this time Shen Siyuan was walking very slowly, often stopping on the roadside to look at the sea, read a book, and observe the surrounding pedestrians, indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

Moreover, his barefoot walking did not attract much attention, because this is Bin Hai, where slippers are common footwear, flip-flops are essential, and barefoot walking is not unusual.

Hence, from leaving in the morning until noon, he had only reached Rainbow House as per Ruan Hongzhuang’s expectations, where he ended up having a meal.

Not every child at Rainbow House eats lunch at school; some come back at noon.

For instance, Lin Qiuxue, who hadn’t been seen for several days, her skin had become fairer and her face rosier; her personality was also livelier than before.

"Uncle, this is for you," she said, offering a chicken drumstick to Shen Siyuan from her bowl.

She added, "My chopsticks are clean, I haven’t eaten yet."

Shen Siyuan smiled, accepting her kindness, and then asked her about her studies.

"It’s going well! The teachers are all very nice, and I even made a good friend named He Yuyao. Her mom is a taxi driver, her dad drives a truck, and her mom drives her to school each morning. She also invited me to play at her house..."

Lin Qiuxue was quite excited talking about her schoolmates. However, her words subtly revealed some information.

For example, the parents of her classmates were not doctors, lawyers, civil servants, or other highly educated families, but ordinary grassroots citizens, because Rainbow House could only provide such schools for the children.

While it is said that there’s no class hierarchy, class is pervasive everywhere.

Regrettably, Xiao Yong was not seen this time; Shen Siyuan wanted to check on him, but he stayed at school during lunch, leaving him no choice but to bring Tang Tang next time.

After a fulfilling meal, Shen Siyuan bid farewell to Xu Liangyou.

Watching his departing figure, Xu Liangyou expressed his puzzlement to his wife Ding Guilan, "I always feel there’s something odd about Mr. Shen."

"Odd? Where is he odd? Why do you think so?"

"I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I always feel Mr. Shen has a unique aura, giving people a sense... a sense of being more than a mere mortal."

Hearing this, Ding Guilan seemed to realize something and nodded in agreement.

"Did you notice it too?" Xu Liangyou said, surprised.

"My son could find a beautiful rich young lady, and I’d also think he’s not from this world."

Xu Liangyou: ...

PS: Also, I hope to have three more updates tonight o(╥﹏╥)o
