Especially this Iron-faced Judge, who regards his own magical power as supreme, how could a newly awakened tool spirit be his opponent?

Thus, this Iron-faced Judge volunteered to take three to five Yin Cha to find the Soul-Calling Bell.

Unexpectedly, the Soul-Calling Bell was in the Mortal World, having run off to the enchanting Mount Damang to enjoy itself.

So, in that mountain, after not more than three hundred rounds with the Soul-Calling Bell, the Judge’s pen was snapped in three by the opponent! Since then, Iron-faced Judge bore a grudge against the Master of Wangchuan.

In the end, he returned in disgrace, declaring his irreconcilable hostility with the Master of Wangchuan.

However, Ah Ling paid him no mind at all; as a spirit of a Divine Artifact, she had no need to appease this hopeless judge.

The Iron-faced Judge’s failure meant that only the Ten Yama Kings could intervene.

As it happened, the Ten Yama Kings went and also returned defeated, the reason being that a wild girl got the Soul-Calling Bell to recognize her as its master, and each of the Ten Yama Kings returned in disgrace.

Later on, everyone said that Ah Ling had achieved great fortune, having been taken in by a giant!

From then on, the Soul-Calling Bell was no longer on Wangchuan Road, yet the bell sound that automatically guided souls along Wangchuan Road always remained.

Thus in Wangchuan, as long as she came, she was still the Master of Wangchuan!

"That’s right, I heard others call her that!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Princess Lianchun finished speaking, watching the Judge fall into contemplation.

When he came back to his senses, his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth.

"With Ah Ling’s person, you being under the wing of that snotty little girl, just go find her if you need help, why seek me?"

Lian Chun furrowed her brow at these words, and couldn’t help but emanate a chill.

"You... you do not want to help me restore my memory?

Why is that?"

"There’s no particular reason, you’re a living soul, I manage matters of the Underworld, forgive me for being powerless!"

Whenever the Iron-faced Judge thinks of the grudge from Ah Ling snapping his Judge’s pen, he grits his teeth in resentment.

Just hearing Ah Ling’s name, his heart feels like it’s bursting with fireworks, crackling away, how could he have any face to help her find a living soul’s memory?

Princess Lianchun saw that the Iron-faced Judge was unwilling to help her, frowning deeply, unable to understand why he wouldn’t assist her.

So she began to sort through everything since she awakened in her own mind.

"Ah Ling clearly said, as long as I reached the head of Naihe Bridge, the Yin Cha would inquire and take me to see the Judge, and as long as I stated my request, the Judge would surely help me recover my memory."

Upon hearing this, the Iron-faced Judge couldn’t help but sneer, saying, "Because Ah Ling says I’ll help you, I must? You’re a living soul, not under my jurisdiction, I’m a Judge of the Underworld, I only manage the dead souls of the Underworld, your memory was lost in the Mortal World, you have to return to the Mortal World to find it, why should I help you restore your memory irrationally?

This is the Underworld, you’re a living soul and cannot stay long, though you’re that broken bell’s person, I also have my principles, I won’t make things difficult for you, I’ll arrange someone to escort you out!"

After the Iron-faced Judge finished speaking, the Yin Cha who had brought Princess Lianchun earlier made a gesture of ushering her out.

Seeing the Iron-faced Judge truly unwilling to assist her, Princess Lianchun sighed helplessly, speaking softly.

"Judge, you obviously can help me, but why won’t you?

Ah Ling and Suisui both said you’re the one who can help me?"

This seemed both a self-question and an accusation, but as she spoke, she turned and followed the Yin Cha out.

"Suisui?"

The Iron-faced Judge repeated the name, paying it no mind.

However, as he turned to sit and continue his work, he suddenly noticed a mark on the palm of Princess Lianchun’s hand as she stepped out of the Palace.

The Iron-faced Judge’s mind went blank for a moment, staring dumbfounded at that mark...

"Wait!"

The Iron-faced Judge quickly stood and walked towards Princess Lianchun, who was exiting the palace, pointing at her hand.

"Show me your hand!"

In confusion, Princess Lianchun blinked, remembering something, and hurriedly extended her hand to the Iron-faced Judge.

"This is a mark Suisui drew on my palm, I had forgotten all about it, Ah Ling said that as long as I had this mark, the Judge would definitely help me find my memory."

The Iron-faced Judge looked at the circle in the palm of Princess Lianchun’s hand, with a dot inside, thought for a moment, and said, "Come with me!"
