The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

The vibrant ball of light within the Soul-Nourishing Bowl quickly drew the attention of all the ghosts.

Before Yun Yici could even get a good look at the decorations of the entire palace, those strange "people" surrounded her.

They lowered their heads, wishing they could press their huge eyes against her.

Yun Yici wasn't afraid of being watched. She took off and landed on the spot, diving into the bowl.

After being nourished by the Soul-Nourishing Bowl for seven days, her soul was no longer as light and airy as it had been on the first day when it could be blown away by the wind.

She probably feels as heavy as a small stone now.

So when Yun Yici jumped into the bowl, it was like throwing a small stone into the bowl.

The liquid in the bowl was agitated and splashed onto the people who were crowding around.

"Ouch!"

Some unlucky ones probably got the splash in their eyes, which startled them so much that they flew up and flew around the entire hall.

Having learned from this example, those who had come closer were all frightened and retreated, no longer daring to get too close to the Soul-Nourishing Bowl.

Yun Yici peeked out again, and this time she finally saw that there were five people in the palace. From a distance, their bodies and faces were covered with a layer of gray mist, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

When they approached, their eyes were very clear; Yun Yici saw them. There were human eyes, and there were eyes that didn't belong to humans, such as vertical pupils and horizontal pupils.

Moreover, these "people" were as light as a wisp of air, and would run around the palace in a panic when startled.

Someone said, "Whose soul is this? It's completely different from those chaotic wandering souls."

There was another person who was very dissatisfied with Yun Yici's offense, so he vented his dissatisfaction on Xiao Ji: "Xiao Ji, you wouldn't be showing favoritism just because Xiao Xun is your descendant, would you?"

"He captured a wandering soul and returned to replace Xiao Xun to report back."

Yun Yici was startled. Xiao Ji had only lived for ten years. How could he have descendants?

Xiao Ji, who had been smiling as he watched Yun Yici repel those "people," frowned and asked, "Lord Geng, what do you mean by this?"

“Ah Ming went with me and saw with his own eyes that Xiao Xun was alive and kicking. Even if that person came in person, he could not interfere with the fate of a living person.”

Ah Ming, who was standing nearby, immediately proved Xiao Ji's innocence.

"Xiao Ji did not show favoritism."

After Ah Ming said this, the person who was looking for trouble fell silent.

"But the Book of Admonitions clearly shows Xiao Xun's name and his death date..."

Yun Yici was openly eavesdropping when she suddenly realized that Xiao Ji and A Ming's relationship was not what she thought.

She originally thought Xiao Ji and A Ming were good brothers and partners, but seeing the five people's doubts about Xiao Ji and their trust in A Ming, A Ming might be used to keep an eye on Xiao Ji.

Yun Yici watched as the five people whispered among themselves, not knowing what they were saying.

One of them stepped forward and said to Xiao Ji, "Since the Book of Admonitions has made a mistake in its prediction, this matter must be reported to the leader."

"As for the soul you hold..."

Xiao Ji quickly replied, "Yue Niang is in need of a page. I promised her long ago, but we haven't found a suitable candidate yet."

"Ha, what can this thing in your hand do without even a physical form? You might as well get rid of it as soon as possible."

Xiao Ji retorted without backing down: "If that's the case, then when Yue Niang comes to demand our return, you can explain to her."

The person who had questioned it was momentarily speechless. Whether out of genuine fear of Yue Niang coming after him or not, he surprisingly agreed to register the little wild ghost.

Yun Yici saw the figure in the misty fog pull out a white, glowing balance from somewhere, and then said fiercely, "Go up."

Xiao Ji placed the small bowl containing her on the level of the steelyard, making it easier for her to climb in.

The wide scale pan was like an empty space to her, except that it was luxuriously made of white jade and carved with strange patterns.

Yun Yici has gotten used to climbing bowls these days, so getting onto a scale is a piece of cake for her.

But as soon as she stepped onto the scale pan, the heavy weight that had been hanging in the middle of the straight scale beam rushed toward her.

Yun Yici was terrified and was ready to jump back into the bowl at any moment to avoid being hit on the head.

Fortunately, the person holding the scale reacted quickly and reached out to move the balance towards the end of the pole.

Even so, the entire balance still tilted towards the pan carrying Yun Yici.

It's obvious that the meaning and wording are too heavy, so heavy that they can't balance the scales at all.

Everyone present was dumbfounded. One person murmured, "For an ordinary cultivator, a single steelyard can weigh his soul. What's going on?"

The mysterious man holding the scale said speechlessly, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, go get an even bigger one!"

Yun Yici also felt something was wrong. She didn't feel that heavy. She had been living in a bowl these days, and Xiao Ji had been carrying the bowl very easily.

Soon, a second, larger steelyard arrived, replacing the first one, but Yun Yici still managed to crush the steelyard.

“That’s strange, that’s strange. The last person who was a virtuous person for ten lifetimes was only this weight.”

"Change it again, change it again!"

Yun Yici stood on the scale pan, watching them busily working on it, changing more than ten steelyards but still unable to balance the scale.

She asked, "What exactly are you weighing?"

The five of them had been fiddling with it for so long, and they were all incredibly shocked. They looked at Xiao Ji and A Ming, who were equally surprised.

"Who...who exactly is this person?"

What Yun Yici didn't know was that this Yin-Yang Scale was no ordinary scale; all registered ghost cultivators had to pass through it first.

This Yin-Yang Scale was crafted by the previous Ghost Immortal. It measures good and evil, fortune and merit.

Good and evil are determined by whether a person's actions in their lifetime were good or evil; this can be determined by weighing the above.

Luck is whether a person is favored by Heaven.

Merit refers to whether a person's virtues and actions during their lifetime have benefited all living beings and earned them the respect of the world.

Yun Yici has never done anything bad.

Needless to say, she was already incredibly lucky. Although the heavens took away her luck, she made it back.

Furthermore, she enjoys the favor and trust of many lucky individuals, which combined makes her incredibly lucky.

As for the merits, the outer pavilion of the Lingwei Sect was almost open to the public for free, and cultivators in the human realm were very grateful for the generosity of the Lingwei Sect.

Currently, there are only two people in the Lingwei Sect: her and Shen Huaichuan. Shen Huaichuan's situation is special, so all the merits of passing on these skills are attributed to Yun Yici.

Not to mention, she also saved the city of Juexian, indirectly changing the course of the war between the human and demon realms and saving many lives.

Good and evil, fortune and merit are all equally difficult for ordinary people to obtain, and Yun Yici excels in all of them, so the scales of yin and yang cannot weigh the weight of her soul.

As the saying goes, humans have their way of life, and ghosts have their way of life. If you want to enter the ghost realm, you must first cross the scales of yin and yang.

The weight of your soul determines your status and treatment in the ghost realm.

Yun Yici's actions were somewhat accidental, as the once unruly group of five now all looked at her with fawning expressions, afraid of offending her.

“Xiao Ji, Yue Niang is too fierce. If you send her to Yue Niang, she will suffer from Yue Niang’s torment and will inevitably hate you.”

"Yes, yes, it would be better to leave her here and let her be worshipped by all the ghosts. In the future, she will be highly respected and will surely thank you."

When Yun Yici heard these old ghosts, who had been arrogant at first but were now obsequious, repeatedly trying to persuade Xiao Ji to keep her, she quickly said, "I want to go to Yue Niang's place."
