Master Changling listened quietly to Lu Qingyan's story, and he could imagine how miserable she must have been.
There are only two people in the family, and the other one is useless, so there is no one who can help her.
Lu Qingyan lowered her head in disappointment, saying, "I had no way to resist him. He brought me here. My mother was terrified when she saw the first scene. Even I, her daughter, don't know where she is buried now."
Master Changling's eyelids twitched, but there was no other movement.
"After I entered the manor, I didn't have time to do anything before Meng set a trap and I lost my life."
As Lu Qingyan spoke, she breathed into the ear of the Taoist priest Changling: "Taoist priest, I died young, and I was unwilling to accept it."
At that moment, Lu Qingyan clearly saw the shy face of Daoist Changling.
Master Changling coughed and said, "I think there's nothing in this world worth staying for."
A person who can become a Taoist priest will naturally no longer be attached to worldly affairs, especially a highly accomplished person like him, for nothing can easily touch his heartstrings.
Lu Qingyan frowned and poked him with her finger, saying with dissatisfaction, "Then let's see if there's anything we should care about, Daoist Master?"
Master Changling said, "It is my duty to subdue demons and uphold justice."
"I died unjustly back then, so why didn't anyone come to speak up for me? My mother's life was coming to an end, and I'm letting it go for the sake of Wenwuquan, who went to the battlefield to fight the enemy and protect our country. But that Meng woman, so many years have passed, and I haven't seen her get any retribution."
Master Changling frowned and patiently explained, "That Meng woman, I don't know where she learned those crooked Taoist arts, and she has killed many people. By all accounts, her life should have ended long ago, but she used some insidious methods to steal other people's lives so that she has survived until now. Sanyang has already handed her over to the underworld officials."
Lu Qingyan's eyes lit up, and she asked him, "You, Changsheng, are you the most powerful of the ghosts he captured?"
"Although that person has taken lives, it was not his intention, so it is somewhat understandable. Moreover, he already had good deeds to his name and was destined for great wealth and honor, but he was unexpectedly reborn as a slave, so he should be compensated. Therefore, he will still be a human in his next life, and his family's situation will not be too bad."
Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow. So, he will become that scholar in his next life?
Master Changling glanced at Lu Qingyan as he finished speaking, his tone becoming somewhat unpleasant: "I have foreseen that he will have some entanglement with you in his next life."
Lu Qingyan stiffened and asked, "Now that you've caught me, what entanglement could I possibly have with him?"
"I actually foresaw that there was a predestined relationship between you and him." This news was hard for someone as rule-abiding as Daoist Changling to accept. A love between a human and a ghost? Isn't that forbidden? He could actually foresee that, which meant that the Heavenly Dao must have approved it.
Even if Heaven grants his request, he would absolutely not allow it to fall into his hands.
Master Changling said, not giving him a chance to refuse: "From now on, you will follow me. When the time is right, I will let you reincarnate."
Lu Qingyan narrowed her eyes: "Do I need you to calculate my birth time for reincarnation?"
"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Master Changling asked.
