The Ren family's spirit has long since moved to another location. Besides, this is their main base, and spirits in the vicinity generally don't approach it. Instead, it has become the cleanest place in the village.
Hua Xiangyun didn't want them to carry this fear in the future. "Even if something really happened here, what does it have to do with us? It wasn't caused by us. Even if there is a grudge, it won't be attributed to us."
We really need to be scientific, otherwise all those people who died unjustly will cause chaos in the world.
People who used to live here were wealthy; who would dare to indulge in pleasure now?
Besides, there's only one house, and everyone wants to live there. How can so many people in the village share it?
We're just staying here temporarily; let the village handle these matters from now on, and don't get involved.
Let's cook the rice and other dishes first; the rice is almost done cooking.
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it made sense. They hadn't harmed anyone, and even if no one had ever seen such a thing, they hadn't done anything wrong.
As for why the villagers don't live in this house, that makes sense; nobody wants their class background to be problematic.
They're just jealous now, making a few idle remarks and intimidating them, but there's nothing they can do about it.
Once they figured it out, everyone sped up and focused on finishing the meal quickly so they could have more time to rest.
As for the Ren family, who moved to the back mountain, they felt particularly uneasy as they watched the smoke rising from their house.
The house has become a place of life, but it is not inhabited by one's own descendants.
Even these spirits had no choice but to hide in the back mountain.
However, they were outmatched in strength, and they still wanted to see the day when the other's descendants would return. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only continue to hide in the mountains.
With Hua Xiangyun's advice, even if Wu Yanxin and the others heard some of the villagers' private conversations, they would listen from a different perspective, as bystanders, and they would find the villagers somewhat ridiculous.
It's one thing that everyone tells a different version, but the underlying sourness in their words is almost palpable.
They became even more convinced that the villagers had ill intentions and couldn't bear to see them living comfortably.
With the family's subsidies and their united efforts, they could live their own quiet lives behind closed doors, except when they were at work, and they were quite content.
Hua Xiangyun went to Chen Xiaoli's house every two days to check on Hong Zhengmen's situation.
Six days have passed, and Hua Xiangyun has come to Chen Xiaoli's house again. The mother and son were already waiting in the backyard.
Even after so many days, Chen Xiaoli was still a little scared. "Master, this can't go on, someone will die."
She trapped the person in the backyard. Without food or water, he had initially thought that this young master wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but so many days had passed and she showed no intention of releasing the person, making him live in constant fear these past two days.
Because of Xiao Bao's existence, she is not afraid of spirits, but that doesn't mean she dares to harm people.
Hua Xiangyun glanced at Xiao Bao, whose soul had become more solidified in the past two days. "You mean to release him?"
Chen Xiaoli was speechless. If she let her out, what if they tried to catch Xiaobao again?
"Now that you've reminded me, it seems to make sense. Giving them a lesson is fine. I'll release them right away."
"No," Chen Xiaoli quickly stopped her. The little master couldn't possibly guard them here every day. What if the other party developed feelings for Xiaobao again? How could she, an ordinary person, stop it?
Hua Xiangyun would help, but she wasn't willing to be a fool. "Just like you said, it could lead to someone's death."
After saying that, he began to break the formation. When Hong Zhengmen reappeared in the courtyard, he was lying weakly on the ground. Hearing the noise, he only looked up once before closing his eyes again.
Chen Xiaoli regretted it. Why did she say those things before?
If the other party is saved, they will definitely take their anger out on his family later. "Master, why don't you just make him disappear..."
Hua Xiangyun ignored her and instead poured a glass of water directly into Hong Zhengmen's mouth.
Hong Zhengmen greedily gulped down the water before opening his eyes and looking at Hua Xiangyun. "Young friend, we've become friends through a fight. If you let me go, you'll be my best friend from now on. Feel free to come to me if you need anything. I can even swear on it."
Now he no longer thinks about how to take revenge on Hua Xiangyun, he only thinks about getting out of here alive.
Besides, Hua Xiangyun is quite capable, and befriending her wouldn't do me any harm.
This is what he has wanted to say these past few days, but the other party has trapped him and hasn't shown up since.
Now that he's finally seen the person and managed to pull him back from the brink of death, he naturally has to seize the opportunity. If the other person leaves again, then it's truly his fate to die.
He was finally about to master his skills, and he didn't want to perish at this moment.
There's no need to think about the choice between gains and losses; it's just a matter of losing face and humbling yourself. If the two become friends afterward, it's actually a beautiful story.
Besides, this girl is pretty; maybe with a little effort, she might one day be the one in my arms…
All these fantasies meant that when Hong Zhengmen faced Hua Xiangyun again, there was no hatred in his eyes, but rather a scrutinizing gaze.
Seeing that he still had the energy to speak, Hua Xiangyun took advantage of his unpreparedness and patted him a few times. Hong Zhengmen felt that the spiritual energy he had cultivated was leaking away. Even if he wanted to resist, it was too late, let alone that he was powerless to resist now.
"What are you trying to do? Do you want to make an enemy of my Nan'an Sect?" Hong Zhengmen panicked. "You dare to cripple my cultivation technique?"
Hua Xiangyun said, "What can we do? I've already done it. So what if I'm ruined? You're simply a disgrace to our Xuan Realm. Just for using such insidious and vicious methods to refine the Hundred Ghost Banner, even your sect can't protect you."
The Xuanmen (Taoist sect) has its own rules, and even if the interface changes, the essence remains the same.
"I'm going to kill you," he said, pulling out his Hundred Ghosts Banner, but it vanished from his grasp the moment he got it.
Hua Xiangyun waved the banner in front of him and said with some disdain, "These unorthodox methods are not the right path. Do you think you can be invincible by mastering this?"
"How ridiculous! You've committed so many evil deeds, you're already burdened with karma, do you think you can get away with this?"
Hua Xiangyun took out a box, put the White Ghost Banner into the box in front of him, and then cast several hand seals and used several talismans to temporarily seal it.
Seeing his hard-earned achievements taken away like this, Hong Zhengmen panicked, "You can't do this..."
Hua Xiangyun didn't waste any words with him. She came up behind him, grabbed his collar, and said, "Now that you've regained your strength, get out of my sight before I change my mind, or I won't hesitate to leave your life here."
Hong Zhengmen knew he couldn't do anything to the other party now, and he couldn't avenge this grudge, so he could only look for another way.
Little did he know that the scheming in his eyes had been seen by Hua Xiangyun.
