Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

However, even if she kills a regional chosen one, it will only be a temporary problem; it doesn't mean she can't kill them.

Her own backlash was already extremely strong; if she wanted to, what harm would it do to add this little bit of cause and effect?

The two rhetorical questions, coupled with the seemingly provocative final remark, made Chu Xia freeze in place.

She looked at Jing Li with suspicion, wondering how the girl in front of her knew that it was her master who had asked her to bring Nangong Qian along.

As early summer approached, her thoughts raced, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it really be that her master had done something to her?

If not, why did Master insist on taking Nangong Qian with him?

Master... did he really help me borrow luck?

The many doubts in her mind remained unresolved.

She still couldn't believe that her master was the kind of person who could do such a despicable thing.

In her heart, her master was a loving elder, a wise, loving, and strict mentor, a moral exemplar, and someone who would never do something so contrary to the laws of nature.

How could I doubt my master...?

But what do all those instructions before leaving matter?

It must be because Nangong Qian has done too many bad things in her life that she deserves to be brought here.

"I don't care how you know I have a master. My master has his reasons for doing things, and it's not your place to interfere." Chu Xia paused, coldly scanning Nangong Qian and the others, before finally focusing her gaze on Jing Li. She chuckled, "I suppose this vengeful ghost is one you raised? What kind of good person can someone be accompanied by a malevolent ghost? They must have done all sorts of evil deeds and are about to be punished."

This girl is incredibly capable; she can actually associate with vengeful ghosts.

Such a henchman of evil must have countless lives on his hands. No wonder she felt uneasy whenever she saw her; it was a strange feeling, as if something was constantly reminding her: eliminate evil, and the girl opposite her is evil.

Most incredibly, she couldn't see through the evil in the girl opposite her at all; it was just an intuition deep in her soul.

The most wicked people all carry a trace of bloodlust in them, more or less.

The girl opposite him didn't have any on her.

In early summer, one cannot see through other people's destinies, but as a born esoteric practitioner, one still has the ability to distinguish evil.

Jing Li gave a strange smile upon hearing this.

Interesting, it seems to have really broken down...

The stark truth was laid bare before her, and her first reaction was to rush to refute it, rather than to seriously consider the beginning and end of the matter. Those chosen by Heaven aren't that foolish...

A smart person understands immediately.

The one she encountered before was incredibly powerful.

Ha! I almost killed her.

"you......"

"To interfere?"

Nangong Qian and Jing Li's voices rang out at the same time. After hearing Jing Li speak, Nangong Qian suppressed her anger and withdrew what she was about to say, silently listening to Jing Li's words.

"That's the truth, and it's your business if you don't want to believe it. But you surely understand that stealing someone else's luck will backfire, right?"

If she hadn't broken the spell, the person who cast it would have ultimately relied on the power of the sorcerer to resist the negligible backlash that they hadn't witnessed; at most, they would have just been a bit unlucky.

Unfortunately, she interfered and broke the luck-borrowing talisman midway.

That backlash... is probably Nangong Qian's original fate.

Since ancient times, no sorcerer has been able to escape the bondage of cause and effect.

Speaking of her, perhaps she is an exception.

Jing Li looked away from Chu Xia, offering no explanation regarding Qin Ruolan's matter, and secretly calculated the time in her mind.

Her nonchalant and unambitious demeanor completely provoked Chu Xia. She took two steps forward, her tone becoming urgent, "What do you want to say?"

As a sorcerer, she certainly understood what backlash meant.

It's almost time.

Facing the village chief's house, Jing Li's calm eyes flickered with a hint of emotion, and a genuine smile appeared on her lips. Sure enough, she had heard Chu Xia's words from below. She slowly turned her head, and whether out of kindness or a mischievous impulse, she bluntly told Chu Xia a shocking piece of news: "Your master is dead! My karma is something that most people can't bear."

"And her, can't you see the merits on her body?" Jing Li pointed at Nangong Qian with amusement. "Your body has some problems."

The flat tone seemed to reveal a hint of pleasure, but to Chu Xia's ears at this moment, it sounded no different from the mocking tone of a petty person.

How could Master have died?

Ha! Even if she's a sorcerer, can she be stronger than my master?

That's definitely just blatant lies and nonsense!

At this moment, Nangong Qian's mouth gaped open slightly, as if she were incredulous.

Even Qiao Feng, who had remained silent until now, widened his eyes in shock and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

What did he just hear?

If he wasn't mistaken, what he just heard was...

Does Sisi possess merit?

Master Huang is dead?!

How can it be? !

He had met Master Huang before; he appeared to be a kind and benevolent old man with a venerable and dignified air. This strange woman must have never met Chu Xia before, right? How could she know that Chu Xia had a master, and even say that the person was dead?

"Shut up!"

Chu Xia's eyes flashed, and her voice became urgent as she coughed violently. Her hands clenched involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with anger. She wished she could teach this ignorant girl who spoke without thinking a lesson right now.

"Hmm? I'm just trying to be helpful, but you seem to have quite a temper. You'd better hurry up and leave; it looks like you're about to lose control of your murderous aura."

Jing Li paused, then added, "Also, don't even think about killing me; you're not qualified."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xia's pupils dilated slightly, and she looked at Jing Li in disbelief.

The shock she felt made it impossible for her to calm down and think.

How does she know everything?!

Who is he?

Do you know yourself?

Chu Xia stared at Jing Li for a long time, thinking of everyone around her, but still couldn't figure it out.

She couldn't help but wonder if something had really happened to her master.

On the other side, Chu Xia's master, Huang Quande, was offering incense.

Huang Quande runs a Taoist temple located in a remote mountain area. Only villagers from the surrounding villages come to him. Huang Quande has some medical skills and often treats villagers for free. Going to hospitals in the county or city would cost a lot of money, so villagers would usually endure their illnesses alone. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they would seek out Huang Quande for any ailment.

Huang Quande provided free medical treatment and his medical skills were quite good, so most of the villagers liked him very much and would often go to the Taoist temple to offer incense.

The Taoist temple was left behind by Huang Quande's master. He took Chu Xia in when she was a child and raised her in the temple.

Receiving offerings from the incense offerings of the Taoist temple, the two depended on each other for survival. In early summer, under Huang Quande's tutelage, they learned esoteric arts that were difficult for ordinary people to access, thus opening the door to another world.
