Bab 1259: A "bad" son

He drifted closer to Hao Xuan stopping just an arm's length away.

"Thank you for giving us a resting place, senior brother. Who knows how long our souls would have wandered this plane if it wasn't for you. Those demons, they would not have let us go even in death."

Hao Xuan shook his head in dismay, "Wait a second, are you saying that all the people that didn't get a proper burial won't be able to move on?"

"Mhm, I only realized this after we died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel and no door to pass through. All I could do was haunt this world. Now-" he looked over his shoulder with a smile, "-I can see it. It's...beautiful, senior brother. I feel at ease just looking at it."

But when he thought about leaving his expression turned sour.

"Senior brother, I know I have no right to ask this of you but...can you maybe do me a little favor when you have time?"

"Of course, anything!" Hao Xuan agreed without hesitation.
