After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.

Jing Yucheng, who hadn't spoken until now, spoke first.

"why?"

Ling Yue suddenly stood up, as formally as if she were giving a speech on a stage when she was a child.

"It might have seemed a bit mundane at first, but the ghost-catching business at Lin Heng's construction site made me realize how lucrative it is. However, what truly solidified my current thinking was Zhang Lei's case. I believe that ghosts and humans are not so different. Just as there are good and bad people, there are also ghosts. We cannot arbitrarily define them."

After saying this, Ling Yue gave Su Shiming a meaningful look.

Su Shiming knew what she meant, and somewhat awkwardly touched his head of red hair.

"Ghosts also have needs, such as grievances or unfulfilled wishes, just as people who have lost relatives, friends, or lovers do."

"Is it possible to use a medium to accomplish these things, so that the injustice can be redressed, the wishes can be fulfilled, and there will be no regrets?"

"And I want to be that kind of media. I think doing this kind of thing is meaningful and cool!"

"Wandering among people like a ghost."

After her impassioned speech, Ling Yue noticed that the two people opposite her were increasingly silent.

No, Su Shiming's silence shouldn't be called silence.

His head was down, his hands covered his face, but his shoulders were shaking.

"You, you guys..."

Seeing that Ling Yue was about to get angry, Jing Yucheng glanced in Su Shiming's direction and couldn't help but frown.

A slap landed on the back of his head.

Su Shiming's shoulders stopped shaking, and he covered the back of his head, looking at Jing Yucheng with a resentful expression.

Then, in a serious tone, he exclaimed, "Wow, I never knew my sister-in-law had such great ambitions! I really admire her!"

Ling Yue, who was about to lash out, angrily took a big gulp of her Long Island Iced Tea.

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you!"

"So, are you finally able to leave Xuanqing Temple?"

Su Shiming's brain went completely blank.

So after all this time, this is the real purpose of our meeting, right?

When Ling Yue asked this question, she was observing Su Shiming's expression. Seeing that he hesitated, she quickly pressed her advantage.

“Look, there are only a few of us in the Ghostly Human Realm. We’re busy with the shop and doing business in the Underworld. You simply don’t have time to manage the affairs of Xuanqing Temple. Am I right?”

"After saying all this, I just want to tell you that in this ghostly world, you can still do whatever you want, like catching ghosts, right?"

After saying all that without Red Hair saying a word, Ling Yue decided to use her trump card!

She ran up to Su Shiming and whispered, "I have a secret manual here, it's incredibly powerful! I can share it with you for free, how about it? How about it?"

Sure enough, the trump card is quite tempting.

Su Shiming glanced at her, pretending not to care.

"What secret technique?"

"You have to agree first, then I'll give it to you."

Perhaps seeing that the two of them were too close, Jing Yucheng said impatiently, "Hurry up and agree to him, or I'll tell Grandpa about all the shady things you did at Xuanqing Temple, and I guarantee you'll never be able to leave the house again."

Su Shiming immediately stood up and solemnly promised: "I hereby announce my withdrawal from Xuanqing Temple and my formal joining of the Ghostly Human World."

cut~

If she had known it would be this easy, Ling Yue wouldn't have bothered with all that talking; it would have been just a matter of a single sentence from Jing Yucheng.

Calling Jing Yucheng was indeed a wise move.

Just as I was about to raise a glass in celebration, the wind chimes at the door rang.

The three looked towards the doorway in confusion.

There was a man who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, wearing a military overcoat, a large hat, and surprisingly, bright red socks and sandals...

The three of them were somewhat stunned, but Ling Yue reacted the fastest.

He quickly got up and stepped forward to ask, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with? Our shop isn't officially open yet, hehe, have you come to the wrong place?"

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly stepped back out, looked at the doorway seriously, and then pushed the door open and came back in.

They took off his big hat.

Ling Yue reflexively stepped forward to take it and placed it on the shelf next to the door.

"You didn't go to the wrong place. Old Zhang from the cordyceps shop sent me here."

Old Zhang, the owner of the cordyceps shop?

Grandmaster...Grandmaster?

Why does this shop assistant not seem very bright?

After the old man came in, he really acted like one, finding a booth and sitting down on his own.

Ling Yue followed closely behind.

"Give me a glass of your signature drink."

Ling Yue was truly stumped by the question; what did she know about wine? And what about the brand name…?

Su Shiming immediately replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."

A moment later, Su Shiming came over carrying a tray.

I walked over to the old man's booth, bent down at a ninety-degree angle, and placed a triangular transparent wine glass from the tray in front of him.

"Martini, welcome to try it."

Ling Yue also left with Su Shiming.

Just then, the old man stopped him: "Who is the owner of this bar?"

I was walking along when I was suddenly called out.

Ling Yue quickly returned: "This is me. May I ask if there is anything else you need?"

The old man seemed greatly shocked, and then stood up.

"Please sit down, please sit down. I do have something important to ask of you."

Ling Yue was still somewhat unaccustomed to his change in attitude.

But he sat down in the seat opposite him.

“I dreamt of my father last night. He has been dead for twenty years and has never appeared in my dreams before. Last night, for some reason, he was crying and begging me to go to his grave to see him.”

"This morning I didn't even eat breakfast before I bought offerings, burned paper money, and went to the ancestral graves."

"I checked the calendar and realized today was the anniversary of his death. I thought it was him reminding me in a dream to pay my respects, so I didn't think much of it. After paying my respects, I went home. I didn't expect that he would appear in my dream again during my lunch break!"

"I kept crying without saying why. I didn't sleep well either, I kept thinking about this. After dinner, I went to find Old Zhang and told him about it. He told me to come to your bar, have a drink, and maybe everything will be fine."

"Here I am. But I'm not stupid; do you really think a single drink can solve this?"

After saying that, he picked up his glass and downed the entire martini in one gulp.

"Spicy on the palate, but leaves a pleasant aftertaste; a good wine!"

"Continued Cup!"

Just as Ling Yue was about to get down to business, Su Shiming interrupted her with a torrent of words.

"Still Martini?"

Seeing the old man nod, he immediately went to mix drinks, completely ignoring Ling Yue's gaze.

What's going on with this guy?

Are you addicted to bartending?

Thinking about it carefully, this old man was introduced by her ancestor, and his skills are much higher than hers, so why didn't he solve the problem for her himself?

Is this an invitation to promote business to oneself?

The first business deal for the Ghost Human Realm was actually recommended by the patriarch.
