Qianji glanced at Rong Zhan who was sleeping soundly on the bed and asked softly, "He probably doesn't know about the existence of Master Qiansui yet, and the secret of your rebirth, right?"

Hearing this, Su Yang subconsciously turned his head to look at the man on the bed behind him, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"Well, he doesn't know, but he knows about my special abilities and the evil things."

"I have temporarily put him into a deep sleep, and he can't wake up. But after all, he is quite special, so, Miss Su, can we talk somewhere else?" Qianji retracted his gaze and looked at her with a gentle smile: "It's about the earthbound spirit you encountered last night."

Su Yang was surprised, but after regaining his senses, he nodded: "Then let's go to the main hall on the first floor!"

When we went downstairs, Qianji had already set up a barrier in the hall and was waiting by the sofa.

Su Yang looked around the blue barrier, walked over, and spread his hands: "Please sit down."

Qianji nodded at her, sat down on the single sofa, and said sincerely: "The one who came to see you yesterday was the earthbound spirit from Wuxi Mountain Cemetery. He had no ill intentions. He just suffered a lot of injustice when he was alive, and he still has resentment in his heart and refuses to leave."

"Then... why did he come to see me? And he suddenly disappeared last night." Thinking about how he looked without a tongue last night, Su Yang was a woman after all, so she still felt scared.

"I forcibly transferred him away last night, and I also went back to check the Book of Life and Death. He has been dead for some time, nine years ago, and he was only 17 years old when he died. In the past, he would follow you every year when you went to Wuxi Town or to the cemetery to pay tribute to your mother, but you couldn't see or sense him before."

"Follow me?" Su Yang was a little confused: "When he saw me yesterday, he was gesturing to me, but I didn't understand."

"When I subdued him yesterday, he was very resistant and unwilling to reincarnate, so I went into his past life's memories to see it. Miss Su, do you want to see it? But... the process is a bit bloody."

Su Yang pursed his lips and was about to nod and say "see" when Qianji waved his hand and the evil spirit of the soul with the stench of corpse floated in the space.

It still had the same eerie and scary feeling as yesterday.

"Since the scene is too brutal, I think it's better for you not to watch it, so... let me wait for him to tell him, okay?" Qianji smiled gently and turned his head to look at the black shadow, asking for his opinion.

The black shadow nodded immediately and gestured a few more times in the air.

"Don't worry." Qianji calmly soothed his anxious heart, and then looked at Su Yang: "Miss Su, this matter may be a blow to you, on the spiritual level, so you need to be mentally prepared."

"Okay, go ahead." Su Yang pursed her lips and nodded.

"His name is Lu Zheng. I think you should be familiar with this name."

“Lu Zheng?” Su Yang stood up in surprise, looking at the black figure with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth in disbelief: “You…you are Lu Zheng?”

The shadow nodded silently again.

Lu Zheng was her childhood playmate, two years older than her. He took good care of her when they were young, and they went to and from school together. But after she was taken to the Su family by Su Huai at the age of nine, she lost contact with all her playmates in Wuxi Town.

It was also at that time that she learned from her neighbors that Lu Zheng had disappeared in the sixth year after she left. The entire Cangwu city was searched for but no trace of him could be found, and the police could not find any clues either, so the matter became an unsolved case.

I didn’t expect... that he was already dead, and died so miserably.

"He actually kept looking for you and making gestures with you because he wanted to tell you the truth about your mother Wen Tanyue's death." Qianji continued, "He happened to witness Su Huai and a somewhat capable Taoist priest trying to steal your mother's luck, so he set fire to and killed Wen Tanyue. You happened to be at a classmate's house that night and were lucky enough to escape."

After hearing the truth, Su Yang's eyes were very calm, without any ripples.

When she died in a fire in her previous life, her wandering soul knew the truth, so she hated the Su family and Su Huai so much.

But to his surprise, Lu Zheng actually witnessed it all.

Calculating the time, he was only eleven years old at that time! She looked at the dark shadow, and her originally cold eyes were mixed with a bit of heartache. What could a person of that age do even if he saw it?

"He hid himself because he was too scared. After you were taken away, his family also experienced misfortune. His parents divorced, and his mother remarried within three months. In order to survive, his father went out to work, leaving only him and his grandmother at home. He kept this matter in his heart and dared not speak out."

"Everything was peaceful until the Qingming Festival when he was 17 years old. He went up the mountain to sweep your mother's grave without telling his family. He confessed everything he saw in front of your mother's grave. He blamed himself for being cowardly and not standing up in the first place. He also felt ashamed to face you and your mother."

"But... unfortunately, the Taoist priest who had conspired with your father heard it. This was the beginning of his nightmare. After that, he was kidnapped by your father Su Huai and suffered extraordinary torture. He was whipped, had his tongue cut, and finally died of torture. His best years ended in the early summer when he was seventeen years old. This was his life."

Su Yang raised her hand to cover her lips, tears welling up in her stunned almond-shaped eyes. She had never thought that he was in such a miserable state now because of that scumbag Su Huai.

"He wanted to use gestures with you yesterday, just to tell you the truth. These things also became his incurable inner demons after his death, so he has been reluctant to reincarnate. However, due to the boundaries of the land, he cannot leave Wuxi Town. He can only wander in the cemetery, guarding your mother's tombstone, waiting for your arrival. However, he cannot speak because he has no tongue, and cannot tell you, so he lets out desperate and mournful roars."

Su Yang's mood suddenly fluctuated violently. Without even looking at those scenes, she could imagine how much pain Lu Zheng would feel before his death.

Thinking of this, Su Yang's hatred for Su Huai increased a little more.

"I'm sorry... for making you suffer." Su Yang stood up from the sofa, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and bowed deeply to Lu Zheng.

After all, everything that happened to him was caused by her family.

He could have lived a happy life, but it was cut short at the prime age of 17.

He refused to go into reincarnation for a long time and insisted on waiting for her in Wuxi Mountain to tell her the truth. It has been so many years. Just think about it, how sad and difficult it must be for him!

Lu Zheng quickly shook his head, and tried to help Su Yang with his hands of varying sizes, but he couldn't touch her at all. He could only gesture in the air again, feeling very excited.
