, it's always good to have one or two powerful defensive artifacts. I don't like raising spirit guardians; if you raise one too long, it might turn on you and become a monster that devours its master....She wanted to see how this lifetime, when the weakened female ghost came to Mu Xi Nian, he would handle it.

And now Hongji has almost lost all her power, she can't harm people as easily as before. She didn't bother with the other party for now, and later there will be high monks from Fahua Temple coming to perform a Buddhist ritual for her, so she probably won't dare to stay here anymore.

Two days later, the Fahua Temple sent two high monks and a group of young novices to perform a Buddhist ceremony at the cemetery. Lian Yi also released Chen Meiyu.

"Madame Chen, your resentment has been dispelled. Follow the path opened by the high monk and you will be able to reincarnate. I wish you a good rebirth this time."

Chen Meiyue, already a transparent soul, has returned to her original appearance as a well-bred young lady. Accompanied by her maidservants, she bowed to Lianyi:

“Many thanks to the Celestial Master for your help, allowing me to escape a fate of scattered soul and spirit. Please accept this jade as a token of my gratitude!”

The ripples did not dodge, and were thanked by Chen Meiyue.

“You are trapped here because you were buried in this spirit-infested land after death. You cannot leave, nor can you be reborn. You yourself have done no evil, but the king is different. To build his tomb, he exploited the people, caused financial ruin, and even used living people for sacrifice. These acts alone are enough to shatter his soul.”

Ripple explained two things. If Chen Meiyue had also done evil, she wouldn't let the other party off.

Chen Meiyu also felt that her choice was wise, and finally went to be reincarnated happily.

Then the excavation work was entrusted entirely to Professor Ma. Lian Yi, having accomplished his mission, decided to return to Longhu Mountain.

This time, there was no need to rush, so she didn't use the army's helicopters. Ripples stayed in a village at the foot of the mountain for a night and left the next day by taking a small van to the town.

The original body had lived in Longhu Mountain for a long time. Her parents had passed away long ago, and she didn't have any siblings. She was the kind of person who could feed herself and her family wouldn't starve. Besides, she was naturally emotionally detached. So even though she was willing to spend time and energy on her disciples in her previous life, she didn't develop any feelings for Mu Xinyan beyond the master-disciple relationship.

This mission was completed successfully, her card had been credited, and she wasn't in a hurry to go back. She decided to relax by walking and playing along the way.

But while she was having a meal in the town, she was actually being watched by someone.

Although Master Wu is already in her thirties, she has achieved great cultivation. Her face is both beautiful and youthful, with the ability to pinch out water. Coupled with her own temperament, she is a beauty who shines brighter the more you look at her. Otherwise, Mu Xianian wouldn't have fallen deeper and deeper for her. The original owner had that capital.

The ripples didn't make a fuss, simply ate some food, bought some local specialties like cured meat, and checked into an ordinary inn. Even Taoist priests need to eat and sleep.

In the middle of the night, a puff of smoke drifted into Ripples' room. She turned over and mumbled something before going back to sleep, showing no interest in getting up to check what it was.

Half an hour later, the door was opened from outside using a key card. Two tall men came in, wearing sunglasses even late at night.

It seemed like they did this often. One would pack up Ripple's belongings while the other approached the sleeping Ripple, checking to make sure she was deeply asleep before wrapping her up in a blanket and carrying her out horizontally. The two then quickly left the room.

A black nanny car was parked at the front of the hotel. After sending both Ripple and Ceremony onto the car, the two people bowed respectfully until the car drove away, and they couldn't even see its taillights before standing up.

Then a mobile phone notification rang out. One man took out his phone and, upon seeing it, immediately burst into a grin and said:

"Second brother, the money has arrived."

"That's great, big brother! Now we can get married!"

"Haha! Now that we're rich, we can marry any kind of woman we want."

The two brothers, happily shoulder-to-shoulder, walked away without noticing the black talismans that had been subtly imprinted on their bodies. These talismans were a foreshadowing of their future misfortune, a fate they would endure unless they stopped doing evil. Otherwise, it would be an endless cycle of wickedness and suffering.

The nanny car drove the unconscious Ripples to a large suburban villa on the outskirts of the city. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pale and handsome man holding red wine and tasting it. His gaze towards Ripples was like looking at a commodity to be traded.t his pulse pillow and began to take Ripples' pulse. The room fell silent all at once, and Tang Huirong did not leave, waiting for the diagnosis.Dr. Liang felt Lian Yi's pulse while asking her some qu...
