Although it was his obsession that prevented her from escaping, keeping her trapped by Jiang Shengying's side day after day, her soul was repeatedly burned.

All the causes and effects stemmed from what happened more than twenty years ago: she harbored resentment and wanted to take revenge on Jiang Shengying, which led her to appear before that child.

Bai Wanzhen: "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

Jiang Yunli smiled and nodded.

Even if one's heart is churning with turmoil, one must maintain a calm demeanor on the surface.

Bai Wanzhen thought for a moment, then turned to Ming Zhuo and said, "I can sense a familiar aura about you..."

She paused for a moment, thinking that she must have made a mistake.

"The person who harmed me is from the same lineage as me. At first, I couldn't say, and later I didn't want to say, but he wanted to obtain the power of the Bone Jade..."

Bai Wanzhen sighed, "But the power of the Bone Jade is so dangerous. I was once tempted to lose my mind and did many wrong things against my will. I can't bear to see him make the same mistake again and again."

She stepped forward and wrote a name in Mingzhuo's palm.

"Jiang Shengying is just a pawn in his game. He's probably already got his eye on you. Please be careful."

Mingzhuo opened the gates of hell and sent Bai Wanzhen away.

Jiang Shengying endured the pain and got up, looking at Jiang Yunli, "Why did you let her go? She was dead, yet she came back. It must be the power of the Bone Jade protecting her! Don't you want to investigate what happened? Don't you want to obtain that power?"

He looks like a madman now, and there's not a trace of his former dignity left.

Jiang Yunli coldly replied, "Why should I obtain those powers?"

Jiang Shengying: "You are still young now, but your body will soon start to decline. Don't you want to live forever?"

Jiang Yunli: "And then, like you, be corrupted by desire and greed, becoming like a demon in human skin? I'd rather die."

Jiang Shengying was struck dumb: "What did you say about me?"

“You’re like a monster, neither human nor ghost!” Jiang Yunli said coldly.

As Jiang Shengying's eldest grandson, he knew all too well how to stab someone in the back.

Don't you pride yourself on being from a prestigious and righteous sect, the leader of the Xuanmen? Don't you take it upon yourself to slay demons and monsters, and be irreconcilably opposed to evil spirits and monsters?

You look down on Wanzhen as a beast, but you are even worse than a beast.

Jiang Shengying was so angry that she made a gurgling sound in her throat.

Mingzhuo: "Oh no, he's so angry he's about to have a stroke. We need to leave quickly to avoid being scammed."

Although Wanzhen bit Jiang Shengying a few times to vent her anger, none of the wounds were fatal. She would recover quickly as long as she drank the talisman ash water to remove the yin energy.

But a stroke is different. What if she becomes paralyzed? Wouldn't people blame her for using evil magic to harm people?

Mingzhuo quickly killed the incense ash gu, then hurriedly made his escape with Gu Xu and He Wangyao.

Jiang Yunli was to stay behind to handle the aftermath and take charge of the overall situation.

He was very shrewd and cunning. Although he was unable to cultivate Taoism due to his physical condition, he was very good at winning people's hearts.

The entire Xiangshi Xuanmen community has long recognized him as the vice president. Jiang Shengying has been out of the public eye for many years, and all that remains of his name is his reputation.

Before leaving, he told Mingzhuo who the person behind him was, which was also a way of explaining to the special department.

After all, the one who really harmed people was the person behind the scenes, and Lin Xuelan was the one who carried out the plan. Jiang Yunli was meticulous in his work, and no investigation could uncover anything.

It would be better to release him and let him stabilize the situation, so as to prevent the Xuanmen sect in Xiangshi from spreading any conspiracy theories.

——

With the matter considered settled, Mingzhuo had just returned to his room when his phone rang.

She said to Gu Xu, "My mom called, let's hurry home."

Ruan Mulan has been busy reorganizing the company these past two days. She has a premonition that once her identity is exposed and she moves from behind the scenes to the forefront, the company will definitely be targeted by that person.

That's why we need to be extra careful and not let the other party take advantage of us.

Seeing the overwhelming news online, she worried that something might have happened to Ruan Mingying, so she immediately rushed home.

It's always better to face things as a family than to go it alone.

However, the car encountered some problems not long after leaving the hotel.

Several cars suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded their vehicle, with the people inside taking pictures of it.

After trying to shake them off several times without success, Mingzhuo simply rolled down the car window and greeted the paparazzi.

"You've had a long and tiring journey following me. Okay, everyone, let's go home. My sister got home a long time ago."

Once Ruan Mingying's identity was exposed, she knew without even realizing it that paparazzi would be following her.

So she used a little trick, taking her paparazzi friends on a roundabout trip, while Ruan Mingying had already been picked up by Xu Shanglou.

The paparazzi had been staking out the place all night, and although they were disappointed, their eyes lit up when they saw Mingzhuo.

My sister is so pretty, she deserves to be featured!

When Mingzhuo returned home, her photo was already on the latest news feed: "..."

——

Pei Di went to perform an exorcism ritual for someone early that morning.

Cultivation is not about a day or two, but about long-term accumulation, so he cherishes this opportunity.

He has a calm mindset; it's good to make a little progress every day.

However, the problem they encountered this time was a bit tricky. The ghost that had been haunting the master suddenly turned into an evil spirit and injured Pei Di's arm.

Not only could they not be sent away, but the evil spirit became even more resentful.

The glutinous rice scattered on the ground turned into charred footprints, and a chilling atmosphere filled the room.

Pei Di looked at the evil spirit. He didn't want to use the exorcism talisman Ming Zhuo had given him unless absolutely necessary. He wanted to see if he could beat the evil spirit into submission...

At that moment, a peach wood sword flew over and pierced the evil spirit through.

The man, who had been trembling with fear, suddenly looked at the newcomer with overjoyed delight: "It's you! You're that very popular junior sister!"

Cheng Jingru happened to pass by and sensed the overwhelming resentment emanating from the house, which is why she took action to slay the ghost.

She saw Pei Di pause for a moment, somewhat surprised, but didn't say anything more.

Then a person with a microphone clipped to his collar came in from behind. Seeing Pei Di treating his wound, he hurriedly told the photographer to point the camera at Pei Di.

The voice spoke excitedly: "This evil spirit is quite powerful. It can already use yin energy to condense into steel blades to hurt people, and the wounds are so deep! But our junior sister is still a cut above the rest, and she killed the evil spirit with her magic sword."

Pei Di was performing hand seals and chanting incantations to treat her wounds when she realized the camera was pointed at her, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

"What are you doing?" he asked warily.

These people looked so strange, and there was a bunch of them filming him. He immediately had a bad feeling.

Host: "Handsome guy, don't be nervous. I have some great news for you! You're on a TV show! You have the chance to be on a show with your junior sister. Aren't you excited?"

Pei Di thought the host was an idiot. "He's crazy! Cut all my scenes!"

The host paused for a moment, "No, you're on the show with your junior sister, do you understand what that means?"

Pei Di: "I'm just asking you, are you going to delete it or not? No, are you live-streaming this?"

He stood up, already somewhat angry.

The idiot host was still saying, "We'll pay you, aren't you happy? It's more than you earn catching ghosts..."
