I nodded.

Luo Qingguo paused and said, "Before that, let me first explain to you why I'm not dead. I think you're still confused about this matter. I didn't have time to talk to you before... Actually, there was a female killer who wanted to assassinate me in order to seize the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl. But she didn't kill me. She just made me lose consciousness and go into temporary shock. After she took the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl away, outsiders thought I was assassinated by her. Even she might have thought I was dead. However, I didn't die. Later, Huo Liang discovered my secret that I was not dead yet. He took the opportunity to ask me about the whereabouts of the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl. From then on, I knew that Huo Liang was actually disguising himself. I said that the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl had been taken away by a female killer, so he locked me up and found a scapegoat to send to the crematorium in my place. From then on, everyone thought I was dead."

I was stunned. Damn, this kind of thing happened back then? I only dealt with Huo Yan and Luo Yujia's issues back then, and didn't bother with Luo Qingguo's affairs. I didn't expect Huo Liang to have been planning this from that time on!

I asked him why Huo Liang wanted the Sui Hou Ghost Pearl so much?

Luo Qingguo covered his gaunt face with his pale hands and said, "The Suihou Ghost Pearl is said to be essential for opening the gate to the Sui King's palace. There are terrifying things in there, countless treasures, and magical instruments and talismans that drive Taoists, Yin-Yang practitioners, Feng Shui practitioners, and other practitioners crazy. It's an unprecedented mausoleum! If Huo Liang gets his hands on the things inside, I'm afraid he will be a terrifying existence in both Taoist Yin-Yang and the Ghost Dao!"

I was shocked. If this was true, I had to take the beads back. Damn, I couldn't let Huo Liang succeed!

"Fortunately, the whereabouts of the beads are unknown now." Luo Qingguo breathed a sigh of relief.

But I’m so upset. The beads were taken away by Huo Liang a month ago. How can I tell Luo Qingguo?

Just when I was at a loss as to what to do, Luo Qingguo said, "Okay, let's get down to business. The court's verdict has come down. On the surface, Huo Liang lost. In three days, the court will go to Huo Liang's house to arrest him. But I'm afraid Huo Liang has people behind the scenes helping him, and if that happens, a lot of people will be killed. That's why I thought of asking you for help."

My legs trembled. Damn it, I was confident that I could deal with Master Yin Gui, but I had a feeling that Huo Liang would be crushed to death!

Luo Qingguo said worriedly, "Just last night, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that an evil ghost came to me and told me to withdraw my appeal against Huo Liang within two days, otherwise I would die immediately... I think it must be the ghost master behind Huo Liang. Tomorrow is the second day, and I'm worried that I will die before Huo Liang is punished by the court."

I frowned and asked, "What did the evil spirit you dreamed of look like?"

Luo Qingguo thought for a moment and said, "I can't quite remember the female ghost that crawled on the wall like a gecko..."

Isn't that Cheng Qian? I didn't expect my Samadhi Fire didn't burn her to death...

I smiled and said, "Her...don't worry, I will protect you for the next two days."

Luo Qingguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next night arrived quickly, and Luo Qingguo went to sleep, but before he fell asleep, he stared with fear in his eyes, not daring to fall asleep. I told him to sleep peacefully, saying that I was there for him, as well as his bodyguard.

This made Luo Qingguo fall asleep in a state of anxiety.

Time quickly reached past midnight, and I was dozing off when the bodyguard suddenly called me, waking me up. Pointing at Luo Qingguo sleeping on the bed, the bodyguard said, "Master, he's having a nightmare. Is that evil spirit coming to find him again?"

I looked over and found that Luo Qingguo's body was tense, he was talking nonsense, and his body shook violently from time to time, as if he was struggling violently.

It looks like sleep paralysis, but it's not.

Su Xiaoniu said: "This is a ghost that is taking away souls. You can see it with your psychic medium."

I nodded, sat down beside the bed, and used my medium to connect the Yin and Yang worlds. Just then, I saw Cheng Qian sitting on the bed, two ghostly claws pressing on Luo Qingguo's body. At the same time, a white, crystal-like shadow kept coming out of Luo Qingguo's body, being dug out by Cheng Qian...

I guessed that this must be Luo Qingguo's soul. Cheng Qian was actually trying to seduce Luo Qingguo's soul and wanted to kill him!

"Stop!" I rushed forward and kicked Cheng Qian, who had no time to react, off the bed.

Luo Qingguo's soul, which was half pulled out, immediately returned to his body.

"It's you again! Why do you always ruin my plans?" Cheng Qian got up from the ground and glared at me angrily.

"You have done such evil things and yet you still don't repent. What's more, Luo Qingguo is my main witness against Huo Liang. If he dies, what can I use to fight Huo Liang? How can I rescue Zhao Xi from Huo Liang?" I said to her harshly.

Cheng Qian seemed stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and said, "So you like Huo Liang's wife Zhao Xi... No wonder you are not interested in me..."

What did she say? I frowned.

Cheng Qian sighed and said, "Forget it. I don't want to care about it anymore. I'm leaving."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." I said subconsciously.

"Can't you be a little gentler to me and try to keep me just once?" Cheng Qian said with her eyes wide open.

I scratched my head and said, "I really can't do this kind of fake affection..."

"You...always...surprise me!" Cheng Qian said with a helpless smile, "Before I leave, I want to ask you, have you ever liked me?"

I shook my head like a rattle and said no.
