☆, 89, Rules of the Metaphysical Circle

Chapter 90

When Yu Jiuyin and the others arrived, only a maid from the Yu family came out to answer the call. After checking their IDs, she easily let them in.

"Is Yu Hong not home?" Yu Jiuyin was surprised by how smoothly it went. After all, normally, Yu Hong wouldn't be happy to see him. But the maid's explanation finally made Yu Jiuyin understand.

"The old man isn't here. Let me take you to see the young master first!" The maid was new, and the address was a little awkward. Normally, she shouldn't just let someone in. But she was new, didn't have much of a sense of belonging, and so naturally acted more casually. Also, for ordinary people, the very identity of a police officer was intimidating.

She had always thought the Yu family was really strange. They clearly called Yu Jinchen "young master," but Yu Hong insisted they call him "old gentleman." Addressing these two people every day felt like calling them from different eras.

However, when Yu Jiuyin heard the words "old gentleman", a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. However, he did not show it on his face and continued to follow the maid as usual.

Yu Jinchen's room was at the end of the corridor. Just as they reached the door of Yu Jinchen's room, An An in Yu Jiuyin's arms suddenly became excited.

"Master!" Without caring about the frightened look on the maid's face when she saw her, An An excitedly rushed to the front of Yu Jinchen's room, but was trapped by the talisman paper beside the door and could not go in.

Yu Jiuyin motioned her to come back first, then kicked the door, kicking the locked door open from the outside.

When I looked at the situation in the room again, I was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Yu Jinchen was pinned to the bed, a dark figure beside him shoveling rice into his mouth. The pace was so rapid it was unbearable for a normal person. Yu Jinchen couldn't even chew, and could only swallow mechanically, nearly choking to death. But the shadow seemed incredibly persistent, insisting Yu Jinchen eat all the food even after Yu Jiuyin kicked the door open.

Yu Jiuyin: Why don’t we wait until he finishes eating before going in?

Rongqing: ...Are you sure he won’t choke to death?

It made a lot of sense, but he was speechless. However, just as Yu Jiuyin was about to say hello, An An in his arms rushed in first.

"Master! An An knew you were still there!" Without caring about being elegant, An An rushed towards the black shadow like a madman, hugged her neck intimately, and then began to cry.

The black shadow was stunned at first, but after a while he recognized who was holding him.

"An An?" She touched the doll in her arms in disbelief, but when her dark fingers were about to touch its face, she moved away as if frightened.

"No, don't hug me, you'll get dirty."

"No, Master is not dirty, not at all!" An An said this, holding her hand tighter. But strangely, the black energy on the girl seemed to be contagious, starting from An An's hand, dyeing it black bit by bit.

"It's Yuan Chong, don't resist!" Yu Jiuyin stepped forward and hit three copper coins into the ground. Then he took out a small dagger from his pocket and drew a complicated talisman with the copper coins as the center.

As the Nine-Note Curse was completed, the blackness on the girl gradually dissipated, revealing her true appearance. Her pale, sweet features were exactly the same as Mu Tian from the previous investigation report.

"You're still here!" Yu Jinchen, who was almost choked to death on the bed, finally caught his breath. He looked at Mu Tian in horror and shouted in embarrassment.

"Yes, you are still alive, how could I die?" The reunion with An An brought Mu Tian a little comfort, but Yu Jinchen's words brought up her resentment again.

Yu Jiuyin's formation helped her reunite her scattered soul. Mu Tian's resentment was stronger than before, and she could do more.

It is in accordance with the laws of nature for evil spirits to seek revenge. Yu Jinchen had used the Xuanmen formation to harm her, so now she naturally wanted to retaliate severely.

Su Bai's hands pinched Yu Jinchen's neck, and Mu Tian's sweet face became distorted. The blood from the top of her head slid down her cheeks and dripped onto Yu Jinchen's body. The sticky and cold touch almost scared Yu Jinchen crazy.

"Let me go! I didn't kill you! It was you who was so careless!"

"How dare you say it's not true!" Mu Tian's grip tightened suddenly, and the resentment in her body suddenly burst out. The past scenes began to replay in the small room.

In the empty classroom, a group of boys were guarding a girl with all kinds of mischievous grins, and the leader was Yu Jinchen.

"Come on, put this on yourself! Don't you like doing this for dolls? Now put it on and show us! Don't worry, we won't tell anyone." As they spoke, they casually threw a set of black leopard print sexy lingerie on Mu Tian, ​​speaking in a nonchalant tone, as if they were going to eat something in the evening.

"No! I'm going to tell the teacher if you continue like this." Although Mu Tian was naive, she understood that these boys had bad intentions, so she struggled desperately, shouting for help.

"Brother Chen, this won't do! If she shouts like that, won't everyone be attracted here soon?"

Yu Jinchen pondered for a while and said, "I have a solution."

As he spoke, he took out something that looked like a magical instrument. After waving it in front of Mu Tian's eyes for a few seconds, Mu Tian became quiet and her eyes began to unfocus.

"What is this? It's amazing!"

"It's for gathering souls. It's my grandfather's magic weapon, and I stole it today! Now Mu Tian's soul has been controlled by me, and she can't resist at all. Whatever you need to do, do it quickly. I'll go play football later!"

Yu Jinchen said it lightly, but when it came to the actual action, he was more active than anyone else. They forced Mu Tian into wearing fabrics that even adults would find unsightly. They even called it dressing her up like a doll.

"Don't you like playing with dolls? Now you are our doll!" After taking the photos, Yu Jinchen and his group threatened Mu Tian that if she told anyone, they would post the photos all over the school.

Mu Tian was a little girl who had no idea what to do. Her only thought was not to let anyone know.

But if it were just like that, the tragedy that followed wouldn't have happened. But who would have thought that Yu Jinchen was such a dishonest bastard!

He spread the photos of Mu Tian and even posted them on the forum of the primary school affiliated to No. 2 Middle School. Mu Tian was a famous little princess in the school. When these photos were spread, they were met with countless people's contempt and discussion.

The sixth-grade girls already knew about shame and avoiding suspicion. They even imitated the adults and used disgusting words like "bitch" and "slut" to constantly attack Mu Tian.

Isolation, verbal abuse, and constant school violence made Mu Tian feel like she couldn't hold on any longer. And then the last straw came.

It was said that a peeping Tom appeared in the girls' restroom of the primary school affiliated to No. 2 Middle School, but the school had been trying to catch him for a long time without success. At that time, Yu Jinchen considered herself a big shot in the school, so she naturally wanted to find a way to catch him.

Unfortunately, they staked out the person for several days without success. Finally, they decided to imitate the Hong Kong dramas where police fish for criminals to catch the peeping Tom. When they mentioned this to the class, it immediately piqued the interest of many children.

It can only be said that the innocence of children is often the most terrifying weapon. Since they are going fishing, the person they choose as bait is Mu Tian, ​​who is considered a disgrace by the whole class.

"She dresses like this because she likes to be seen! Maybe she even gets a thrill out of being spied on!"

"Maybe, if you ask me, that peeping Tom might be targeting her. After all, she's the only one in our school who's a bad person!"

"Just let Mu Tian go! It doesn't matter if something happens anyway. Mu Tian is just a bitch!"

"That's right! Let Mu Tian go!"

"Yes! I vote for Mutian too."

The whole class voted Mu Tian out so easily, without anyone asking her what she thought. In their view, numbers mean justice, not to mention that they were doing this to eliminate a threat to the people.

As for Mu Tian's refusal? That's not a big deal! Yu Jinchen has many ways to make her obey.

But no one expected that it was this bad idea that made Mu Tian the target of the pedophile pervert.

When the hand reached out from under the toilet stall and grabbed Mu Tian's ankle, the little girl cried for help, but her classmates who were supposed to be waiting there went to play in the playground in front...

When they came back, they saw Mu Tian jumping down from the building.

Therefore, everyone in Class 4, Grade 6 is the murderer who killed Mu Tian!

"It's horrible! They're not children, they're animals!" The eldest brother had experienced this kind of darkness before, but he was better off than Mu Tian because he was already in high school at the time. At least he had the strength to resist and the courage to call the police. But what about Mu Tian?

Mu Tian was only a twelve-year-old girl at that time! What did those boys do? What did those girls do to him?

The master and servant are connected by heart. An An cried inconsolably. If Mu Tian hadn't said anything, she would have wanted to stab Jin Chen to death!

As for Mu Tian herself, she stared at Yu Jinchen intently and said word by word, "Is this what you call 'it doesn't matter'? Are you still not telling the truth now?"

"...You, you let me go! My grandfather will bring a powerful Taoist priest to take you in!" Yu Jinchen refused to apologize. He was absolutely wrong. Mu Tian liked to dress up dolls, and they were just doing the same thing as Mu Tian. Even if Mu Tian didn't like the clothes, she didn't even ask the doll if she liked them when she changed them.

As for the peeping Tom, it was someone else's mistake. What does it have to do with him? He was just getting rid of a nuisance for the people!

Thinking of this, he struggled even harder, and the hoarse threats in his mouth became louder and louder, "If you kill me, the heavens will not let you go! If it weren't for me killing you, you would have gone to find that peeping Tom!"

"I'm here to seek revenge on you because Heaven permits it!" Mu Tian's eyes were filled with tears of blood. "You indirectly killed my parents. If you don't die, who will pay for their lives?"

Mu Tian's fingers tightened more and more, Yu Jinchen's eyes bulged violently, and his tongue stuck out. It was obvious that he was about to lose control.

At this moment, an old man suddenly came in from outside and threw a silver bell towards Mu Tian. When the silver bell sounded, Mu Tian's soul, which had just gathered, shook violently, and the hand that was pinching Yu Jinchen's neck involuntarily loosened.

She turned her head and stared fiercely at the old man at the door. The resentment in her eyes had materialized, and the temperature in the whole room dropped to freezing point.

However, the old man who came in seemed not to see it, but looked at Yu Jiuyin with extremely shocked eyes.

"You, why are you here?"

"Investigate the case." Yu Jiuyin said in a light tone, and took out the police officer's ID from Rongqing's pocket and waved it in front of him.

"But you said you would stop caring about these things."

"I did say that, but there's nothing I can do. This is my baby. If he encounters a case, I will definitely take action." Probably intentional, Yu Jiuyin hugged Rongqing and kissed him intimately on the cheek.

The old man frowned and fell silent. Yu Jiuyin also waved towards An An and Mu Tian, ​​calling the two girls to his side.

"Now that everyone's here, tell us! I don't want to ask anything else, I just want to hear Yu Jinchen tell the truth himself." Yu Jiuyin pointed at Yu Jinchen, who was almost unconscious on the bed. "Of course, you can choose to continue hiding it, then he only has three years left to live. It's up to you whether you want this grandson or not."

The word "grandson" immediately revealed the old man's identity. The eldest brother and the others finally understood that the disheveled old man before them was actually Yu Hong, the renowned Feng Shui master in the metaphysical world. But for some reason, he seemed to be very afraid of Yu Jiuyin, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him was filled with guilt.

But even so, Yu Hong remained stubborn when it came to his grandson's future.

"Is there no room for maneuver? After all, it happened so long ago."

"Then let's go back!" Yu Jiuyin never liked talking nonsense with others, so he actually turned around and left.

"Wait. What exactly are you going to do to save Jin Chen?"

"Let him tell the truth about what he did to Mu Tian and follow the rules of the metaphysical circle, otherwise I will do nothing."

"But if that happens, Jin Chen's life will be ruined too! You've watched him grow up, how could you bear to let him go?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Yu Jiuyin thought Yu Hong's emotional play was ridiculous. He pointed at Mu Tian beside him and said in a mocking tone, "Your grandson is responsible for the lives of his entire family!"

"Xiaojiu!" Seeing that Yu Jiuyin really didn't care, Yu Hong subconsciously called out the affectionate name he used to call her. However, these two words were like a bomb dropped in the room, instantly making the atmosphere strange and unpredictable.

A powerful ghostly aura suddenly erupted from Yu Jiuyin's body. The next moment, it was as if a number of people appeared out of thin air in the room. There were men and women, and although their figures were blurry, they were clearly living, fierce ghosts. Each of their eyes was filled with bloodthirsty hatred. One of them even revealed his true form and rushed towards Yu Hong.

"Who gave you permission to call me brother like that?"

It was Rui Ning. Unlike the dignified and majestic figure everyone in the haunted house had seen before, the current Rui Ning finally revealed her fierce ghost side.

Half of her elaborate palace dress was stained with blood, and her five fingers, like claws, were firmly clasped around Yu Hong's head. With just a little force, Yu Hong's skull would be opened by her bare hands.

"I was just careless for a moment. I've already apologized for what happened back then."

"You apologize?" Rui Ning slapped Yu Hong in the face. "You ruined my brother's life, and you can just let it go with a simple apology?"

"Back then, my brother was the best student in medical school, with a bright future. And what happened? You sold him to the Yu family just for three million. Have you forgotten who helped you earn the title of Feng Shui Master? Otherwise, what could you do with your half-baked skills?"

"..." Yu Hong stared at Rui Ning, cold sweat instantly dripping from his head. He had no way to answer Rui Ning's question, but he certainly didn't mean to frame Yu Jiuyin. "I really have no choice. That's the Yu family!"

"Yeah! So you took the three million without a clear conscience and happily tricked my brother out. You watched him lose half his life, his future ruined, and now you live in a mansion, raising a grandson who is worse than an animal. Yu Hong, do you like human blood steamed buns?"

"Ruining, what do you mean by this?" In the room, the eldest brother and Rong Zhuo heard these things for the first time, especially the eldest brother, who became anxious.

Rui Ning had no intention of hiding anything. "Brother used to be a doctor, but ended up losing everything because of that bastard's frame-up. His left hand has become a little numb because of the injury he suffered back then, and it's not as flexible as before. If it were another profession, of course there would be no problem. But as a doctor, even the slightest problem with his hand could result in the patient's death. That's why brother dropped out of school after he recovered. It's all because of Yu Hong..."

"Ruining!" Yu Jiuyin interrupted Ruining forcefully, "That's enough, come back."

"Brother!" Rui Ning was unwilling, but finally let go of his hand and retreated back to Yu Jiuyin.

At this time, Yu Hong had already fallen to the ground in a mess, unable to utter a word.

Yu Jiuyin watched coldly and gave him an ultimatum, "By 1 a.m. at the latest, if Yu Jinchen doesn't tell the truth, I will personally help Mu Tian get revenge. It's not that I'm partial, but the rules of the metaphysical circle are life for life, blood debt must be paid with blood. Yu Jinchen killed someone, so he should pay with his life!"

With that, Yu Jiuyin and the others turned and left. Four years had passed, and Yu Hong was still as despicable as ever. As for Yu Jinchen, he was rotten to the core. How could he truly feel guilty? It seemed like this time, he had no choice but to take action.

——————————————-

In the car, Yu Jiuyin flipped through the documents, thinking about how to interrogate Cheng Tian's family later. After all, the case had to be resolved.

After finding Mu Tian, ​​even if those kids didn't tell the truth, Yu Jiuyin understood the truth. Of course, that didn't mean he'd let them off. A life for a life. Mu Tian had given them three years to breathe, and they were already kneeling in gratitude for not killing her. And yet they were still trying to preserve Qingbai's reputation? Then, when they teamed up to bully Mu Tian, ​​why didn't they consider the consequences?

"Rongrong, I think what happened back then needs to be exposed. I have a way to make these kids tell the truth. Tell Mingyu to get ready."

Yu Jiuyin was thinking about how to help Mu Tian clear her name, but Rongqing unexpectedly took the information from him.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

"I know what you are going to say, but I'm really not that fragile..." Knowing that Rongqing was worried about him, Yu Jiuyin hurriedly comforted him. However, before he could finish his words, Rongqing hugged him in his arms.

"Jiuyin, it doesn't mean you won't feel pain just because you're not fragile. Wouldn't it be better for you to rely on me more at a time like this?" Rongqing was really uncomfortable, and her usually calm voice had a hint of hoarseness.

“…” Yu Jiuyin’s body trembled almost instinctively, and then he relaxed and leaned into Rong Qing’s arms.

The two of them just hugged each other silently, neither of them saying anything. It was not until a long time later that Rong Qing asked Yu Jiuyin again, "Do you still want to go back to school?"

"Stop it," Yu Jiuyin couldn't help laughing. "What academic qualifications do I need as a Heavenly Master? I'm already 25, so why should I go back to school and be a senior? Besides, my current condition really doesn't suit me to be a doctor anymore."

However, although Yu Jiuyin said it lightly, Rongqing felt more and more uncomfortable.

It's not that I can't go back, but that I don't want to go back. Rong Qing thought of Yu Jiuyin's final exam results before she dropped out of school, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.

To Rongqing, Yu Jiuyin's experiences were like a blunt knife tearing through flesh, gradually separating him from his social circle. Rongqing couldn't even imagine how Yu Jiuyin had spent those four years since leaving the hospital and returning to the Taoist temple. And how long had it taken him to fully understand the coldness of human relationships?

The hand holding Yu Jiuyin slowly tightened, and Rongqing lowered her head and kissed him.

The kiss wasn't skillful, but it was soft and gentle beyond words. The kiss between their lips and teeth wasn't just about intimacy, but more about careful comfort.

Yu Jiuyin didn't know how to respond at first, but when Rongqing's tongue touched him, Yu Jiuyin hesitated for a second, and finally chose to indulge, letting Rongqing's taste infect him bit by bit.

Rongqing said something very true, it doesn't hurt that he doesn't care. God knows how desperate he was at that time.

But fortunately, everything is over. All the nightmares are over...

——————————————

Rong Qing felt really bad for Yu Jiuyin and wished time could go back and block everything for him. Rong Zhuo, who was in the car behind him, was also having a hard time.

The eldest brother had been wearing a sullen expression since leaving the Yu family. As for the four younger ones, Guiwa and the others in the back seat, their faces were even more gloomy. Even Bai Zhiqiu, the gentlest and most composed, had a sinister look that was terrifying.

"Rong Zhuo, I'm getting off here. You take Tiantian and An'an back first."

"What do you want to do? Don't be impulsive." Rong Zhuo immediately understood the boss's thoughts and stopped him immediately. "Does Yu Xiaojiu know?"

"It has nothing to do with my brother. You don't need to worry about it."

"You're not going to make it a fate!"

"No." The eldest brother raised his lips, "That kind of thing is not worthy of my brother to bear the consequences."

The ghostly smile looked very similar to Yu Jiuyin's from certain angles, but Rong Zhuo felt it was even more dangerous.

"I'll go with you." He blurted out subconsciously.

"Why?" the boss was puzzled.

"I'm going to keep an eye on you! You'll definitely be scolded when you get back if you act so recklessly. You're so thin, what if you get beaten?" Rong Zhuo made up an excuse, but was quickly refuted by the boss.

"My brother won't beat me up."

"Alright, alright, it doesn't matter where, I'll go with you." The boss's defense of Yu Jiuyin made Rong Zhuo laugh and cry. However, Rong Zhuo understood the boss's feelings very well. Yu Jiuyin was a person who was worthy of anyone's heart and soul.

Tiantian, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up. "I want to go too. I know all about the Yu family's structure. And I also know about the Yu family."

This is amazing! The dolls that had originally not planned to play with her immediately turned to look at her, their eyes sparkling.

Tiantian was a little shy, pursed her lips, and then whispered, "I've been wandering around his house for three years, and I even went to Yu's house once with Yu Jinchen. I remember all the places, and I can draw them. This is to thank Jiuyin for saving An An and helping me gather souls."

"Well done, little sister!" Lingling immediately and enthusiastically took Mutian's hand. As for the ghost doll next to him, he also made a gesture of "Come on, let's discuss this carefully."

The five little ones gathered together in a sinister mood to discuss what they were going to do, and this time, even the eldest one joined in. Rong Zhuo, who was driving, felt his foot go weak on the accelerator.

After changing direction, they were getting closer and closer to Yu's house...

Everyone must atone for the mistakes they make.

The author has something to say: Boss: Anyone who bullies my brother must be taken back!

Rong Zhuo: Be careful, don’t get scared to death.
