Chapter 47: The stubborn Tu Zhizhuo was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, unconscious...

Tu Zhizhuo was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, drowsy.

Lei Yinyin was gone for a long time and took her cell phone away. She had nothing to do now and could only force herself to sleep.

But the more you force yourself, the more obvious the facts become in your mind.

What else could Lei Yinyin be dealing with? Su Huaiwang's matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have confiscated her phone.

There was a knock on the door, and Tu Zhizhuo said weakly, "Come in."

A strange woman walked in: "Are you still awake?"

She was about forty years old and well-maintained, with only fine lines around the corners of her eyes. Even when she was smiling, she gave people a sense of majesty without being angry.

Tu Zhizhuo didn't answer. The woman's tone of voice was a little too intimate.

The woman didn't mind: "It's just right that you didn't sleep yet." As she said this, she put the person on her shoulders on the other bed.

Tu Zhizhuo flipped up from the bed and exclaimed, "What happened to her?!"

Lei Yinyin was lying on her back on the bed, her face looking painful, her hair disheveled, and both her hands wrapped in thick gauze.

The woman looked unconcerned, "Nothing, just a minor injury. He won't die." However, she expressed concern for Tu Zhizhuo's injury: "Is your foot healed? Won't moving around so much affect the healing process?"

Tu Zhizhuo nodded randomly, his eyes still on the unconscious Lei Yinyin: "It's okay, nothing compared to her."

The woman burst out laughing. "She's a Celestial Master. This injury is nothing to her."

Tu Zhizhuo glanced at her, surprise gleaming in his eyes. "Your working environment is terrible."

"It's okay. We're well-treated." The woman came over and said, "Hold out your hand."

Tu Zhizhuo obediently stretched out his hand.

The woman gently grasped her hand, a white light emanating from it. A familiar warmth seeped into the small bloody holes in Tu Zhizhuo's hands, each pierced by the broken glass. It was gentler than what Lei Yinyin had done to her, but the effect was far more powerful.

"I knew she didn't treat your hand." The woman said with a hint of anger, "This child has always been impatient since he was young. He is not careful at all."

Tu Zhizhuo withdrew his hand and looked around curiously.

The skin on his hands was as smooth as new, with no sign of previous injuries.

"How amazing..." She couldn't help but mutter to herself, and then she looked up again: "Did something happen to Su Huaiwang? How is she?"

Lei Yinyin had returned in such a state, what about Su Huaiwang... She didn't dare to think about it. The worry that had been suppressed by the woman's powerful face suddenly burst out.

She ignored all etiquette and grabbed the woman's hand hanging in front of her: "Please tell me!"

The woman looked at her with a smile and said, "This is not something you should worry about."

"Varied……"

The next moment, Tu Zhizhuo fell down and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the two younger generations sleeping in the room, Lei Zhengqing raised his eyebrows.

-

When Lei Yinyin woke up, it was almost dawn.

The light of day was faintly visible outside the window, and she sat up from the bed despite the pain all over her body.

Tu Zhizhuo was sleeping soundly on the other bed in the room. She knew that she had returned to the back mountain.

She subconsciously reached for the talisman at her waist, but it disappeared after taking effect.

She sighed, limped to the table, and poured herself a cup of tea.

The tea had already gone cold, but she was so thirsty that she didn't care.

After drinking all the water, she saw in the dim light a spell stuck at the bottom of the tea tray.

[After you wake up, come find me in the main hall]

The spell flashed and disappeared instantly.

With another sigh, Lei Yinyin stood up.

The injuries on her body had been treated by Qianqian, but they had not yet fully recovered. Her hands were destroyed, and now she could not perform any hand gestures, so she had to walk to the main hall obediently.

It had been a long time since she had measured the height of the mountain behind her, step by step.

He clenched his teeth and drops of sweat flowed down his cheeks.

The journey that usually takes only a few seconds with the Thousand Miles Escape Technique was extended by dozens of minutes today.

But she was not angry, she just thought that this might be a punishment for her failure in the mission and almost death.

I just don't know how the vengeful ghost was dealt with in the end.

When she thought of the ghost's expression as if he had never taken her seriously, she gritted her teeth even tighter.

When the morning sun reached the pinnacle of the hall, she finally arrived.

Some disciples who got up early had already started activities and training. They were not surprised to see her injuries and just asked if they could give her a ride.

Lei Yinyin refused them all.

The heavy wooden door of the hall was pushed open, and a few rays of light shone into the shadows from the window, barely providing conditions for vision, but Lei Yinyin still could not see the expression of the person sitting at the top.

"sit."

My mother's voice was calm, as always.

There were only the mother and daughter here, but Lei Yinyin still sat upright and carefully according to etiquette.

Lei Zhengqing: ...

"You don't have to continue this mission." Lei Zhengqing spoke first.

Lei Yinyin didn't foolishly ask questions like "Why?", but just calmly replied, "Okay."

"Nothing you want to ask?"

"Has that vengeful ghost been dealt with?"

"No."

"Is she that vengeful ghost of the highest rank?"

"yes."

"So when does the Ghost Punishment Department plan to deal with her?"

“It won’t work.”

If Lei Yinyin could handle the first two questions calmly, she really couldn't help herself with the last question.

"Why?" Letting a top-tier vengeful ghost wreak havoc outside? She had never thought she would hear such words from the Director of the Ghost Punishment Department, who had always taken maintaining peace as his mission.

"I'd rather ask you first, didn't you learn this in school? Hateful ghosts cannot be eliminated."

"Yes, but we can capture her, lock her up, and then find a way to make her become a Buddha."

There is such a facility in this back mountain. Although there are not many resentful ghosts in it now, the Ghost Punishment Department does have such a plan.

"It's easier said than done. Do you know how much it would cost us to capture a top-tier vengeful ghost?"

Lei Zhengqing finally opened her eyes. Her eyes, a golden light like lightning, allowed her to clearly see her daughter's unwilling face in the dim light.

"If we really want to capture her, not only me, your grandmother, your teacher, but also those famous celestial masters you can name will have to pay a heavy price. And paying all this just to catch a vengeful ghost who has never harmed any innocent people, is it worth it?"

It's not worth it. Lei Yinyin knew it, but she couldn't accept it.

"Then we can try our best to help her become a Buddha. At least, at least it's not..."

"At least we're not sacrificing one person to hold her back, are we?"

As a mother, how could Lei Zhengqing not see what her straightforward daughter was thinking?

"You always think in such extremes. How can you unilaterally conclude that this is a sacrifice?"

Lei Yinyin sneered: "Deceiving the ignorant and involving the innocent, the nature of ghosts cannot be changed."

All ghosts are born out of malice, representing hatred and resentment towards the world, especially resentful ghosts.

Love is like a piggy bank. If no one deposits money, it cannot be withdrawn. Ghosts are born without the ability to love, only hate. She doesn't believe that once Su Huaiwang knows all the truth, he will still be willing to live with a ghost.

Lei Zhengqing was helpless: "You seem to have a lot of opinions about her. When you fell into her hands, she let you go."

Lei Yinyin frowned.

"If she really wants to kill you, I can't stop her. I might even be used as a scapegoat, and we'll be buried together in a grand ceremony."

Lei Yinyin:?

Her expression suddenly turned ugly: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"You were born in a good era. You've never encountered top-tier demons. You don't know what level they are at."

Lei Yinyin wanted to pull her hair in frustration, but she couldn't do it because her hands were wrapped in bandages, which made her even more frustrated.

"...How can I get the top grade?" Lei Yinyin complained secretly, but Lei Zhengqing could not escape his ears:

"Oh yeah, her profile is blocked to you guys, right?"

Lei Yinyin looked up, not knowing what her mother meant.

Lei Zhengqing remained impassive. "She's a collection of resentment, born in the 1980s. Resentment collections like her are usually incredibly powerful upon birth, but often also mentally unstable, with a tendency to harm innocents from a very early stage. Therefore, the beings we've eliminated before were all relatively insignificant demons.

"But she's different. She's restrained and sober, and has never hurt anyone innocent who has nothing to do with her grudges. That's why we haven't been able to discover her, and she's been able to grow to the top level.

"Su Huaiwang was the first innocent person she tried to harm."

Hearing the name Su Huaiwang, Lei Yinyin stood up excitedly.

Lei Zhengqing glanced at her: "...but she didn't hurt her in the end.

“In fact, we got the news immediately after Su Huaiwang entered her evil dream.

"But she was too difficult to deal with. Even after losing half her territory, she refused to hand over. And she hadn't hurt us before. We didn't have many ways to subdue the vengeful ghost, so we really couldn't do anything to her. Su Huaiwang was trapped in her little world for a whole month. It was only after she gave up on her own that we were able to rescue him.

"She also modified Su Huaiwang's memory. I don't know if it was because she didn't want her affairs to be exposed in front of us, or for some other reason."

"She modified it?!" Lei Yinyin couldn't help but exclaimed, "This has already become..."

Lei Zhengqing gave her a speechless look and put the rest of her words back: "I'm not saying all this to make you sigh about this. I want you to think about it yourself. This is what you should do when facing this matter."

"...She clearly gave up on Su Huaiwang herself, so why is she looking for him now?"

"How would I know about this kind of thing? Go ask her." Lei Zhengqing raised his eyebrows maliciously.

"I asked her?"

"Yeah, she won't kill you anyway. In that case, isn't it just the right person for a sparring match?" Lei Zhengqing raised the corner of his lips and said, "I've prepared another talisman for you."

"Ah...thank you." Lei Yinyin took the talisman, always feeling that there was some ill intention in what her mother said.

She shook her head, trying to get rid of the illusion.

"By the way, remember to send the one sleeping in the room away. I've already modified her memory."

"Tu Zhizhuo? Okay."

When talking about business, the motherly feeling that was unique to Lei Zhengqing disappeared, leaving behind the majesty of a superior. Lei Yinyin straightened her back unconsciously.

"The only thing I'm dissatisfied with you about this mission is that you involved people who were not involved in this matter. Don't do that again next time, okay?"

"yes."

Lei Yinyin responded.

"But I asked her to keep that number. If anything goes wrong again, remember to keep an eye on it."

"yes."
