"Then thank you very much, until we meet again."
Su Mu clasped his fists and departed by boat from that place.
....
Lady Houtu stood on the stone bridge, watching the distant silhouette until it vanished from sight, then she sighed softly.
She wasn't sure whether her choice today was correct.
However, even if she chose wrongly, she seemed to have no regrets. She would leave everything to time for the answer. She had lived for far too long, so even failure and oblivion in death might be a form of relief for her.
As long as reincarnation does not cease, she would be forever confined to this place, unable to leave. Isn't this also a kind of imprisonment?
Managing reincarnation, yet imprisoned by it, this is a causal loop.....
Perhaps the next person to take charge of reincarnation might break this deadlock. If Houtu could choose, she would hope that person is Su Mu.
