As soon as Jing Yucheng carried Ling Yue out of Jing Yan's house, Ling Yue struggled to get down.

"Don't move, Jingyan is still watching us."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue stopped moving.

"Jing Yucheng, what does your older brother do? He seems so mysterious. By the way, how does he know me? And why does he call me sister-in-law?"

"Stay away from him as much as possible in the future; he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. As for how he knows you, it's simple: our whole family knows you."

Ling Yue became increasingly curious; she wasn't some big star: "The whole family?"

"Grandpa has already posted our marriage certificate in the family group chat. My cousin Su Shiming even investigated you and posted a short essay about you in the family group chat."

Su Shiming? That name sounds so familiar.

Seeing that they had already walked quite a distance, Ling Yue patted Jing Yucheng, signaling him to put her down.

Just then, they felt a dark figure walk past them.

Why are there people walking around this villa area in the middle of the night?

But the dark figure quickly retreated.

"Cousin? Is it really you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night... Um, is this a Linghua vase?"

As soon as he uttered the name "Ling Flower Vase," Ling Yue knew who he was.

It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived.

Ling Yue quickly jumped down, somewhat exasperated, and said, "Why do you still call me a vase? You damn redhead, you're not allowed to call me a vase anymore!"

"Tch, don't you call me Red Hair too? We're even now."

Su Shiming touched his red hair, but in his heart he was complaining that Ling Huaping didn't understand fashion!

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Jing Yucheng was noticeably stern when facing Su Shiming.

Su Shiming seemed to have long been used to Jing Yucheng's strictness and didn't care at all.

"By the way, Ling Huaping, there's something I feel I need to tell you."

Su Shiming stammered, and without a doubt, it wasn't anything good.

"Say it, I'm listening."

"That ghost who tried to steal my mission that day, my master sent me to capture him. You performed a ritual to release him from suffering, causing my mission to fail, and my master even put me in solitary confinement..."

"Tonight I was suddenly given another task: to disguise myself as a food deliveryman, deliver a birthday cake to a certain place, and then wait for a ghost to appear so I could capture him."

"I just finished turning in my mission and came out of my master's place."

"I only found out it was the ghost you performed the exorcism for that night after I captured it. So, I felt it was necessary to tell you."

After all that, it turns out this guy kidnapped Brother Zhang Lei's ghost!

"Where is your master? Take me to your master right now!"

Ling Yue grabbed Su Shiming and asked urgently.

"My master lives in the villa next door."

Having received the answer, Ling Yue disregarded Su Shiming and ran directly in the direction he pointed.

He hadn't run two steps before Su Shiming pulled him back.

"My master can't see you right now."

"What about the ghost you kidnapped? What does your master want with that ghost?"

"Of course we'd refine it. Otherwise, why would we capture it and keep it as a pet?"

Refining?

What do you mean?

Lu Boqing stepped forward and explained, "This is a forbidden technique that enhances one's cultivation by refining ghosts."

Ling Yue acted as if she hadn't heard anything and ran desperately toward Su Shiming's master's residence.

Jing Yucheng hurriedly chased after her and managed to stop her with great effort.

"Xiao Ming just said that Zhang Lei's ghost has already been refined..."

"Your going won't help..."

Ling Yue struggled and shouted, "Why can he refine ghosts at will? I have to settle accounts with him!"

“My master said that any ghost that lingers in the mortal world should not be allowed to stay, because the longer they stay, the more people they will harm.”

“My master also said that he was accumulating good deeds and bringing blessings to all living beings by refining these evil spirits.”

Listen to this! What sanctimonious nonsense!

"Everything is said by your master, your master says, who is your master? Is he the ruler of this world? Are you so tall because of something? Don't you even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? If he told you to kill or set fires, would you do it?"

Ling Yue seemed to have used all her strength to yell at Su Shiming.

After yelling, her body seemed unable to support her, and she slowly squatted down and began to cry silently.

Jing Yucheng also squatted down, hugged the person in his arms, and looked up to glare at him.

Su Shiming was initially stunned by Ling Yue's outburst, and her relentless questioning left him speechless.

Then I received a look from my cousin, as if I had done something wrong...

But he didn't know where he went wrong, or what the correct thing to do was.

"Don't cry, Ling Huaping. Maybe you're right. My mind is a mess right now. Did I mess things up?"

The three remained locked in a stalemate, and without Jing Yucheng's instructions, Su Shiming dared not move.

Not long after, Ling Yue either cried herself unconscious or fell asleep, it was unclear.

She had a dream.

In her dream, she saw Zhang Lei!

At that moment, Zhang Lei was actually smiling at her.

“Ling Yue, thank you. That one hour, though brief, felt like a luxury to me. I have no regrets. Don't blame yourself; I was already dead. As for how I ended it, it doesn't matter anymore…”

"But I still want to ask you a favor: when you have time, could you please go and check on my wife and daughter for me? Please!"

After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he smiled at Ling Yue again, waved his hand, and turned to leave...

He disappeared without giving Ling Yue a chance to apologize.

No matter how Ling Yue called his name, he didn't turn around.

Ling Yue was panting heavily when she suddenly woke up.

I stared at the ceiling for a while before realizing that it wasn't the ceiling of my own room!

So he quickly sat up, looked around, and made sure again that this was not his room.

where is this?

Without thinking twice, she quickly got out of bed and opened the door.

But she bumped right into Jing Yucheng, who was walking towards her.

"You're awake? Is anything bothering you?"

I'm only now realizing I have a bit of a headache. Could it be because of that glass of red wine I drank at Jingyan's house?

who cares.

Ling Yue then thought of Zhang Lei, who had appeared in her dream.

Perhaps it was a wisp of his divine consciousness that appeared to him in a dream?

Although Brother Zhang Lei didn't blame him, this matter was caused by her, and it can't be left like this.

She wanted to see just who Su Shiming's master really was.

"what time is it now?"

After Ling Yue finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her throat.

"Jing Yucheng, what's wrong with my throat?"

"Oh, it's probably because they kept calling Zhang Lei, but they couldn't wake him up."

It's already 8 PM, where is Lu Boqing? I haven't seen him.
