Chapter 1203: My Home Is in the Great Han, Lu Ding Reveals His Identity

Lei Xiao lowered her head: "Great Han, in the Great Han, in Yunjiang Province of the Great Han, Linyun City, Gonghai County, Tashui Bridge Village..."

A man's heart, a woman's body, made it impossible for her to blend into this bizarre world. Even after all these years, Lei Xiao still felt, every time she spaced out, that this was all a dream.

She was destined to never form any bond beyond friendship with anyone.

Whether the other person was a man or a woman, she herself could never accept it no matter what.

So going home had become her only obsession.

She named herself Lei Xiao, inheriting her former name, precisely so she would never forget who she truly was.

She was never that girl who had transmigrated into a ruined temple, into the body of a freshly dead little girl. She was Lei Xiao!!!!

Lei Xiao's murmured words drifted into Lu Ding's ears.

He heard them!!!

Lu Ding felt a slight shock in his heart at this moment.

Another one who had unintentionally gone from the Third Circle to the Second Circle, believing it to be a transmigration.

The only difference from Su Yun was that Lei Xiao carried the obsession of returning home.

But in Demon Province, she was destined to never return to the Great Han in the Third Circle.

As for the home she spoke of, Lingyun City, Gonghai County, it was right next to Yunhai, bordering Yunhai, not far at all.

Although Lu Ding could use a [Celestial Shift] to bring her back to the Third Circle.

There were many problems.

For instance, once Lei Xiao returned to the Third Circle, she definitely couldn't be allowed to stay there. Otherwise, with her level of strength, who could possibly control her?

Besides.

Lü Mountain normally did not permit people from Demon Province to go out.

If Lei Xiao were taken away by him.

As a direct disciple of Lü Mountain, wouldn't Lu Ding be smashing his own reputation?

All the Senior Uncles, Junior Uncles, Great-Grandmaster, Ancestral Master, and the Crooked-Mouth Old Man had been so good to him.

He couldn't do such a thing.

Lu Ding thought for a moment, organizing his words: "If you hadn't met me, what did you plan to do?"

Lei Xiao shook her head: "I don't know. What I thought was, keep advancing, keep breaking through, ascend, until I had enough power. Just like in the novels, turn back the river of time, and go home..."

Lu Ding listened.

If that was the case, then her desire to go home would be extremely difficult.

She couldn't leave Demon Province. To ascend, she would have to build a good relationship with Lü Mountain, and then ascend to the First Circle. Based on Lei Xiao's described personal situation, she would definitely reach the First Circle before the Great Han did.

By then, she would have missed it again.

By the time she learned that this world also had a Great Han, who knew how long that would take.

In the end, she would likely only meet with tragedy.

If Lu Ding hadn't come, Lei Xiao's outcome might have been one where everything had changed, where words failed her and tears flowed first.

He sighed.

The divine abilities within his body retracted, his form rapidly shrank, returning to his original appearance.

Standing still in place.

Scholar-warrior sleeves, Dan seal robe, rainbow-colored eyes, naturally born nobility.

Lu Ding knew that the Great Han's embassy had already opened in Demon Province. A declaration would surely be issued soon. Upon hearing the words "Great Han," there was no guarantee Lei Xiao wouldn't have a triggered reaction.

Better to explain everything to her clearly now.

At least Lu Ding could still control her.

To put it bluntly, the [Way of the Jinche] was the cure for all disobedience.

Organizing his words, he spoke: "Allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Lu Ding, from the Great Han. In your terms, naturally born nobility. The Great Han offers me the title of Corpse-Shattering Taishui. The new city honors me as the Sin of Arrogance. Former Great Han Yunhai 749 investigator, former Yunhai Baofan Area patrol investigator."

"I can send you home."

"But you'll need to follow arrangements, cooperate with me, and it will take time. However, I can have the authorities check on your parents' situation and take care of them."

Lei Xiao had long been frozen in place.

Unable to believe the information her ears were receiving.

"You... you're from the Great Han? You're from Yunhai!!!!!!?"

Lu Ding nodded: "Yes."

"We're fellow townsfolk."

Lei Xiao: "You... are you telling the truth? I... I didn't transmigrate? I... this is clearly Demon Province, it's an ancient era, it's another world with supernatural powers!"

Lu Ding explained to her: "This is indeed Demon Province, it's indeed a feudal ancient era, but this is the Second Circle."

"Where Yunhai is located is the Third Circle, and the Third Circle isn't without supernatural phenomena and powers either. It's just that ordinary people rarely discover them."

Afterwards, Lu Ding explained the general situation to Lei Xiao.

Listening carefully, Lei Xiao became very excited: "Then... does that mean I can go home?"

"I... I can return from the Second Circle to the Third Circle, see my dad, see my mom? See my uncle?"

Lu Ding nodded: "Yes, but you'll need to follow arrangements. After all, your identity is different now. You're like an overseas Han citizen stranded abroad. I'll find a way to send you home, but... it will take some time."

"You should have received some education. You should understand what I mean. But first I'll confirm the situation of your parents and uncle, then tell you, and help take care of them. Once we finish the procedures, I'll send you back for a visit?"

"As for the details afterwards, we'll still need to discuss further."

Lei Xiao couldn't calm down, but she could understand somewhat: "I understand, I understand, I get it. I'm an overseas Han citizen stranded abroad. I need my country to bring me back. I'm not anxious, I'm not anxious."

Lu Ding smiled: "Good that you understand. Now, do you still want to die?"

Lei Xiao kept shaking her head: "I don't want to anymore, I don't want to anymore. So I didn't transmigrate. I just went from the Third Circle to the Second Circle. Thank goodness, thank goodness I met you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would never have been able to return home in this lifetime, going further and further away from my original hometown in the opposite direction."

Lu Ding pulled out a jade talisman and asked: "What are your parents' names? And give me your ID number. I'll have them look into it. Results should come quickly."

"My name is Lei Xiao. My dad is Lei Hong, my mom is Luo Caixia, my uncle is Luo Anping. My ID number is**********......"

Those eighteen digits, he had always kept them engraved in his heart, never forgotten.

Lu Ding heard a familiar name ring in his ears.

"Luo Anping? Your uncle is called Luo Anping?"

Lei Xiao nodded: "Yes, that's right, Chief, you... you know my uncle?"

Lu Ding: "No need to call me Chief. You can just call me Lu Ding."

This was also one of the habits of Great Han people. Many ordinary people would address any public official as Chief, regardless of their actual position. Calling them Chief first might not be correct, but it would never be wrong.

"There are so many people with the same name. I don't know if it's the same person. If it is the same one, then we could be considered fated, very fated. I once received help from him as well."

As Lu Ding spoke, he transmitted the information Lei Xiao had sent to Yan Feifan, asking Yan Feifan to contact the Third Circle and help with the investigation.
