The Liang residence on the other side.
Liang Xin held a thin, white jade teacup tightly in his hand. He had already drunk all the water in the cup, but he seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed on the threshold.
The beautiful woman behind him gently massaged his shoulders and asked softly, "My lord, is something troubling you?"
Liang Xin ignored the concern of the beautiful woman behind him, focusing only on how to find a more capable Taoist priest to subdue the demon.
He was already convinced that Lin Wanyue was definitely a monster!
He's also a highly powerful demon!
It's all Zhang Xiangyang's fault, that useless bastard. I don't know where he went to find that pretentious old Taoist priest who's all show and no substance. He's so old but has no skills, he can't even subdue such a small demon.
If it weren't for these useless things and that bunch of troublemakers, how could he have ended up in such a sorry state today?
Thinking of the spit Lin Weiming had given him, Liang Xin hated Lin Weiming even more!
After he deals with Lin Wanyue, he'll capture Lin Weiming and make him spit every day until he dies of dehydration!
Liang Xin reluctantly withdrew a large sum of silver and ordered his servants to find him a Taoist priest with spiritual attainments.
However, he was unaware that several ghosts from the Lin family had already gathered near the Liang family's residence.
"This guy still won't give up? He even wants to pay people to come and cause trouble for our family! We'd better teach him a lesson tonight." Little Pink Butterfly rolled up her sleeves, ready to go and cause trouble for Liang Xin.
"Wait a minute." Lin Xiangwu stopped her: "You don't need to do anything. He dared to bully my son and granddaughter. I have to take revenge myself."
Lin Xiangwu's eyes were glowing red, clearly showing how much he hated Liang Xin.
Little Pink Butterfly, Hu Jiuyuan, and Laifu, the three ghosts, exchanged glances.
They were worried that Lin Xiangwu's fighting skills were too strong, and that if he really killed Liang Xin... that wouldn't be impossible.
No, given Lin Xiangwu's personality, he would definitely kill Liang Xin!
But that would be hard to explain to those below...
After all, Lin Wanyue had promised Yama that she would keep an eye on them and prevent ghosts from killing people, even if the person was a corrupt official. After all, there is order in the underworld!
If Lin Xiangwu really kills Liang Xin, the ghost messengers from the underworld will definitely come to investigate, and they might even take all of them away.
“Well, brother…” Thinking of the Lin family’s feelings for Lin Xiangwu, Laifu quickly advised, “Why bother you with such a small matter? We can handle it! Besides, we are all experienced. When the Jiang family came to cause trouble before, it was us who took care of them.”
"Hmm?" Lin Xiangwu looked at Lai Fu and asked, "What's going on with the Jiang family?"
Lai Fu then recounted everything about the Jiang family, focusing on how he had touched every member of the Jiang family several times, causing immense misfortune to everyone in the family, including the cats and dogs.
“General, it’s not that we don’t want to deal with this Jiang fellow, it’s just that Wanwan promised the underworld that she wouldn’t take lives arbitrarily. Even if you want to take action, please show mercy,” Little Pink Butterfly added.
"I know what I'm doing, don't worry." Lin Xiangwu's cold and serious face looked like he was about to kill Liang Xin a hundred and eight times over.
Lai Fu: "..."
They were still very worried and were about to try to persuade him again when Lin Xiangwu added, "I won't let him die."
As long as he doesn't die, that's enough!
Master Cui and his colleagues also did not want to protect Liang Xin, this corrupt official.
After all, the Taoist priest Liang Xin found might not be able to harm Lin Wanyue, but he might be able to harm these ordinary little ghosts.
With Lin Xiangwu's guarantee, plus the other ghosts, even if they were all combined, they couldn't stop him, so they had no choice but to agree.
That night, a huge gust of cold wind enveloped the entire Liang residence...
——
The next morning.
The servant sweeping the floor noticed that all the leaves on his tree had been blown to the ground. He looked up and saw the county magistrate, Liang Xin, with bloodshot eyes.
"Sir, why...why are you up so early?" The servant quickly concealed his displeasure and said respectfully.
Liang Xin ignored him, her face tired and her body stiff as she walked to the small flower hall.
His thoughts are still lingering on last night's dream.
He is a thoughtful person and often has dreams, but the dream he had last night was completely different from his usual dreams.
He dreamt that he was desperately running away in a black fog, and just as he was about to study, he saw a great general in armor leading thousands of troops, surrounding him from all sides.
Liang Xin was merely a civil official, and his two legs couldn't outrun four, so he was quickly beheaded by the general with a single stroke.
He watched as his head rolled around on the ground with his own eyes.
Liang Xin was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder felt like they were about to burst, and his soul was shaken.
However, when he opened his eyes again, he saw himself desperately running away, with a surging momentum of shouts and killing behind him. No matter how hard he ran, his head would be chopped off with a knife.
Liang Xin was too exhausted to run anymore, so he simply stopped running and stood still, intending to argue with the general.
"Who are you? How can you be so unreasonable? Why do you keep killing me?" Liang Xin asked angrily.
But all he heard was the general's cold voice telling him, "You are not worthy to know."
Liang Xin: "..."
This time, the sharp, gleaming longsword didn't strike his head directly, but instead sliced his hands, feet, and stomach, almost chopping him to pieces piece by piece.
