Chapter 304 Method
The Zhu family, who had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But they still didn't dare to speak, for fear of attracting the attention of the five ghosts again.
After a long while, the five ghosts seemed to calm down. When they looked at Zhong Nian Yao, they were still vigilant, but less ferocious.
"What do you mean?" As the leader of the Five Ghosts, Wealth Ghost asked directly, "Are you on our side today, or on the Zhu family's side?"
"I'm on the side of reason," Zhong Nianyao said calmly. "I'll side with whoever is right. The Zhu family broke the agreement first, so it's understandable that you want revenge. But if you want to take their lives, that's too much, and I can't just sit back and watch."
"So what do you want?" Lu Gui stepped forward and said, "Even if you can stop us today, you can't stop us forever. Unless you beat us to death today, we will find an opportunity to take the lives of the Zhu family no matter what."
As they spoke, the five ghosts looked towards Lu Yichen warily. From Lu Yichen's simple display of his hand and the spell cast by Zhong Nianyao, they knew that the strength of this man and woman was unfathomable, definitely far superior to their own.
If this man and woman really wanted to beat them to death, they would probably not be able to fight back at all.
Zhong Nian Yao looked at the Five Ghosts, then at the injured members of the Zhu family, and a hint of deep thought flashed in her eyes.
Because of the Zhu family's inconsistency, Wu Gui and the Zhu family are now in a state of endless conflict. Just as Wu Gui said, even if she stopped it today, she would not be able to stop it forever.
The Five Ghosts were indeed the victims of this incident. If she allowed them to die, it would be against the will of Heaven.
After a moment, Zhong Nianyao spoke again, "What if the Zhu family donates all their wealth now? Then I will help you to pray to the heavens and return all the sins committed by the Zhu family to them. The merits accumulated from their donation will belong to you."
"Once you have offset your karma and accumulated merit, your path to reincarnation will open up."
After hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said, Wu Gui couldn't help but be moved.
The reason they were willing to become the five ghosts who carried the Zhu family's wealth was because they were unable to reincarnate due to various reasons. If they wanted to reincarnate again, they had to accumulate merit. However, as ghosts, it was very difficult for them to accumulate merit.
This is how they made the deal with the Zhu family. Everything they did was just to open the path of reincarnation and be reborn as a human, instead of having to live as a lonely ghost, worrying about being devoured by evil spirits or being taken in by those heavenly masters.
If there really is a chance for them to reincarnate again, then whether they can take revenge on the Zhu family doesn't seem to be that important.
The five ghosts looked at each other for a while, communicating silently with their eyes, and finally the leading ghost of wealth stood up.
"Are you telling the truth? Or are you just trying to trick us and take advantage of the opportunity to save this Zhu family member?"
"Now that I've said it, it's naturally true." Zhong Nianyao said, "As for the Zhu family, I have no kinship with them and have no obligation to save them. The reason I'm here today is to prevent you from committing murderous sins, becoming evil spirits, and wreaking havoc on the people."
"Okay, then we promise you," said the Wealth Ghost, "but how can you guarantee that the Zhu family can do it? What if they refuse?"
Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow and slowly walked to Zhu Yu. She looked down at the collapsed Zhu Yu and said, "If I asked you to donate all your wealth to save your life and the lives of your descendants, would you be willing?"
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's question, Zhu Yu turned his head and looked at his injured sons in the living room, as well as the pitiful appearance of his grandchildren.
Everyone in the Zhu family looked at Zhu Yu with pleading eyes, obviously hoping that Zhu Yu would agree.
Although they were used to living a life of wealth, they found that being forced to live in poverty was worse than death. However, when faced with the threat of death, they realized that they feared losing their lives more than money. If they lost their lives, what good would all the money do them?
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
Only as long as you are alive, there is hope.
In the expectant eyes of his descendants, Zhu Yu nodded slowly and said with some difficulty, "I will donate all my family wealth."
Although he said this, he still had a secret plan in his heart. He still planned to leave some money secretly. At least, he still wanted to ensure that so many people could live a normal life!
They have to have a place to stay and food to eat, right? As for the rest, this is all we can do for now.
As if seeing through Zhu Yu's thoughts, Zhong Nianyao sneered a few times, then said, "Since you have agreed, then just swear an oath! Use your own life and the lives of all your descendants to swear that you will give away all the family wealth, including this villa we are standing on right now."
"If even the house is donated, what are we going to do?" One of Zhu Yu's grandsons grumbled quietly, "We can't be left without a place to live!"
Although the sound was very small, everyone could still hear it in the quiet living room.
Zhong Nian Yao glanced indifferently at the person who spoke, then glanced at Zhu Yu, and then saw the evasive looks from the other members of the Zhu family.
Obviously, in the Zhu family's cognition, even if they want to donate all their wealth, they should at least keep a place to live!
"If you don't want to, then forget it." Zhong Nianyao continued, "Then you can handle the matter between the Five Ghosts and your Zhu family yourselves! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao walked over, took Lu Yichen's hand and was about to walk out.
Of course, she did not forget to break the spell cast by Master Sanqing, and then signaled the other party to follow her and leave.
Master Sanqing was already injured, and now that the spell had suddenly broken him, he was about to fall flat on his face. He quickly steadied himself and looked up at Zhong Nianyao, as if he wanted to say something. However, facing Lu Yichen's cold gaze, he remained silent and followed the two of them quietly.
