Chapter 1336 The Girl Is the Master
This old witch had passed the inheritance to her; she herself was her own Master, so when Mengyu uttered the word "Master," it was heartfelt recognition.
When that girl heard Mengyu say the word "Master," a smile appeared on her face that didn’t match her apparent age.
She said kindly, "You don’t need to deliberately repay your Master’s kindness. As long as you do more good deeds and widely accumulate Merit, that will be the greatest repayment to your Master!"
Mengyu felt something was a bit strange. Why did the girl’s words sound so much like a Master’s teachings to her disciple?
She lifted her head, and the wooden hut was empty; where in front of her was there still any girl?
Mengyu understood. That girl was the old witch, the Master she acknowledged in her heart. The face she showed in the previous life had just been a change of appearance; what she saw now was her true form.
And those words Master had just spoken were also an acknowledgment of her as a disciple.
She had never expected that after borrowing the name of Master for so long, she would now truly have a Master, only to meet her once and never be able to see her again.
Mengyu hurriedly knelt down. "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I respectfully see Master off!"
By Mengyu’s ear came the girl’s voice: "Go back now, cultivate well. The day your Merit is Perfect will be the day we Master and disciple meet again."
After Master left, Mengyu still sat blankly in the spot where Master had just been sitting in the wooden hut, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Gougou saw that Master had been inside for so long and hadn’t come out, so he wanted to go in and take a look. As it turned out, that barrier which had been blocking anyone from entering was already gone.
He hurriedly walked in and saw his godmother sitting there in a daze. He quickly called out, "Godmother!"
Mengyu looked up and saw Gougou gazing at her with pleading eyes.
She sighed and said, "The witch has already left. Let’s go."
Gougou was puzzled. "The one who was just talking in this room was the witch? She was clearly an old lady—how did she turn into a little girl?"
Mengyu was startled and looked at Gougou. "How do you know she was an old lady?"
Gougou was also taken aback, then quickly said, "I saw it in a dream. In the dream she even gave me a ring, and I took the ring to give to you, but Zhou Erleng snatched it. I told you about it last night."
Mengyu stared fixedly at Gougou. Even though he was a little kid, he was already four; he should know dreams aren’t reality. Yet he was using what happened in a dream to question reality.
So, it hadn’t been a dream at all—he was fully aware that he had been reborn.
She suddenly asked, "How did you die in your previous life? Why did you die, and when did you die?"
"After you escaped." Gougou had barely gotten the words out when he immediately came to his senses—godmother had figured out his situation.
He hurried to explain, "Godmother, I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me, and I was afraid you’d mind my rebirth, so I didn’t tell you about it."
Mengyu let out a sigh. She herself had been reborn and hadn’t told him. No one wants to speak of something like this. He deliberately used the excuse of a dream to tell her, which was also a way of reminding her.
"Enough, I’m not blaming you. Gougou, you should know that I’m reborn too, right?" Mengyu said, then looked into Gougou’s eyes.
Gougou no longer put on the demeanor of a small child. "Yes. I was reborn last summer, when in your last life you were trafficked into Tiger Valley. But I didn’t see you, so I knew your fate had changed and that you must have been reborn like me."
Mengyu’s heart stirred. He had actually been reborn together with her.
