Zhang Shichang tried to get up to help Lu Qing, but Wang Yanjun kicked him back to the ground.

"Behave yourself!"

Zhang Shichang was about to say something more, but Wang Yanjun glared at him and shut him up.

Wang Yanjun looked at Lu Qing and asked:

"What's your relationship with this kid?"

Lu Qing thought for a moment, then answered by counting on her fingers:

"His father's cousin's aunt's brother's uncle is my master!"

"So he and I are... are..."

Lu spent a long time trying to figure out his relationship with Zhang Shichang, but he still couldn't.

Wang Yanjun complained: "This is practically the only connection we have!"

Lu Qing: "Anyway, his father and my master had a very good relationship. I used to play with him a lot when I was a kid."

Wang Yanjun glanced at Zhang Shichang:

"Then ask him why he's here? And why he's controlling the female corpse to harm people?"

Getting back to the main topic, Lu Qing hurriedly asked:

"Little Chang, why are you here? And why are you controlling Zhao Meilian's corpse to harm people?"

Zhang Shichang glared at Wang Yanjun and said:

"You don't need to have Lu Qing relay the message; I can hear you."

"If you can hear me, then answer me properly, or I'll shoot you!" Wang Yanjun threatened coldly.

Zhang Shichang snorted coldly, dismissing Wang Yanjun's threat with disdain:

"You brute, I'm not going to answer your question!"

"You little brat, you're asking for a beating, aren't you!"

Wang Yanjun pretended to hit him, and Zhang Shichang quickly covered his head and shouted:

"Sister Xiaoqing, help me!"

"Brother, don't scare him, let go!"

Lu Qing spoke up, and Wang Yanjun had no choice but to lift his foot and let go of him.

Zhang Shichang quickly ran behind Lu Qing, grimacing and rubbing his chest as he complained:

"Sister Xiaoqing, why did you come down the mountain? And why are you hanging out with this kind of brute!"

Lu Qing glared at Zhang Shichang:

"Don't be rude, answer my question now!"

Zhang Shichang was traumatized by Lu Qing's beatings when he was a child. Her glare made his heart pound, and he could only obediently answer:

"Sister Xiaoqing, I didn't harm anyone, I just wanted to help that woman!"

Lu Qing frowned: "Help her?"

Zhang Shichang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, quite pleased with himself:

"Yes! This woman is so pitiful. Her husband had an affair and did not hesitate to kill her and her unborn child for the sake of the other woman. He even buried her in a barren mountain, preventing her and her child's souls from being reincarnated."

“I happened to pass by here that day and heard her recount her grievances. I couldn’t help but feel indignant, so I drew my knife to help her, pried open the coffin, and released the mother and child’s bodies.”

"I even used a Jianghai teleportation talisman to send that ghost baby to seek revenge on his father. It really cost me a lot!"

"But it's all worth it for the sake of justice!"

He waited for Lu Qing to praise him after he finished speaking, but instead of praise, he received two slaps.

"Zhang Shichang, with a brain like yours, even a zombie would shake its head if it tried to crack open your head!"

Zhang Shichang, feeling wronged after being beaten, covered his head and tried to explain:

Why did you hit me? I was just telling the truth!

Lu Qing's face flushed red with anger, her beautiful eyes filled with fury.

Zhang Shichang was genuinely puzzled: "Sister Xiaoqing, why are you so angry? I just want to help them get revenge!"

Wang Yanjun couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but retort:

"You're seeking revenge without even investigating the facts! What kind of revenge are you talking about!"

"You actually believe what that female ghost said? With your limited abilities, you were completely fooled by those two ghosts, one big and one small, and you're even feeling smug about it!"

Zhang Shichang was taken aback:

"What did you say? That female ghost lied to me?"

Lu Qing replied irritably:

"Yes! You've been fooled by the female ghost and the ghost baby! That ghost baby was a born superhuman when it was alive, and its malevolent energy only intensified after it died."

Lu Qing told Zhang Shichang about Li Ningqiang's situation, and Zhang Shichang was immediately dumbfounded.

He spent a Jianghai teleportation talisman and went to so much trouble, only to end up aiding and abetting evil, almost harming someone who didn't deserve to die!

He originally escaped to travel, and if his father found out, he would beat him to death!

Zhang Shichang was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud:

"Sister Xiaoqing, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, you have to help me, my dad absolutely can't find out about this!"

Lu Qing was speechless, listening to his wailing headache.

"Alright! Get up!"

Zhang Shichang obediently stood up.

He was too weak, and the female ghost's yin energy had already harmed him.

Lu Qing was about to exorcise the spirit for him when she realized that the boy had grown much taller than her, and it was difficult for her to even touch the top of his head.

He tried to reach it on tiptoe several times but still couldn't, and Zhang Shichang just didn't have the sense to notice.

Lu Qing panicked: "Why don't you just kneel down for me!"

Zhang Shichang: "Huh??"

The next second, Wang Yanjun kicked him in the knee, forcing him to kneel down.

Lu Qing was finally able to touch the top of his head, golden light surging in his palm.

Zhang Shichang felt a warm current enter his body from the top of his head, and the inexplicable chill that had appeared in the past few days suddenly disappeared.

After a moment, Lu Qing withdrew his hand:

"Alright! Get up!"

Zhang Shichang jumped up and down excitedly, then looked at Lu Qing with admiration:

"I feel much warmer now, Sister Xiaoqing, you're amazing!"

Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, looking smug, and said, "That's why I'm your older sister!"

"Sister Xiaoqing, I... I shouldn't be punished by heaven for this, right?" Zhang Shichang asked weakly.

"I've heard that some Xuanmen disciples who make mistakes are punished by heaven, struck by five thunderbolts, it's terrifying!"

Lu Qing looked at him with disdain:

"You? Heavenly punishment? You're too weak. Even the Heavenly Dao doesn't care about you!"

Zhang Shichang: "..." How about you punish me instead!

"Don't worry! This hasn't caused too much of a problem, I'll handle it!"

Lu Qing gave Wang Yanjun a look, and Wang Yanjun went over and collected Zhao Meilian's soul. Her body turned into withered bones and fell to the ground in an instant.

"I will take the ghost baby and Zhao Meilian back to deal with them. As for you..."

Wang Yanjun stared coldly at Zhang Shichang, who couldn't help but swallow hard.

How am I?

"He's a weakling, not even qualified to go to the investigation team's prison, so forget about him!"

Zhang Shichang was furious: "How dare you..."

Wang Yanjun shot him a glare: "How about it?"

In a fit of anger, Zhang Shichang lashed out.

"It's nothing! You're right, I'm indeed not qualified!" Zhang Shichang said with a fawning smile.

As soon as Wang Yanjun turned around, he performed a series of Tai Chi and Baguazhang moves behind him, which almost made Lu Qing burst out laughing.

"Alright! Let's hurry up and go, the Rain Goddess is waiting for it to rain!"

Just as the three were about to descend the mountain, a thunderclap suddenly rang out, followed by a torrential downpour.

Wang Yanjun was immediately shocked: "Lu Qing, I knew you were just bragging!"

"Hurry! This place is prone to landslides!"

Wang Yanjun grabbed one of them with each hand, intending to escape with them, but he couldn't budge Lu Qing no matter what he did.

"What are you looking at! Get out of here! Are you out of your mind?!"

Lu Qing frowned and looked into the distance, saying:

"This rain wasn't sent by the rain god; there's something wrong with it."

Wang Yanjun glanced at the eerie black mist faintly swirling around the distant mountain peaks, his heart tightening, but he had no time to think.

"Lu Qing, don't worry about who started the rain, let's get going, or we won't be able to leave once the mountain collapses."

Lu Qing frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook off Wang Yanjun's hand:

"You take Zhang Shichang and go first, I'll go check it out!"

After saying that, she ran off into the distance.
