He made up an excuse to go to the bathroom and brought the trapped baby spirit along.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan had done something to the baby spirit, making it expressionless but compliant. When asked a question it would <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spill everything it knew, sharing all of its opinions and holding nothing back<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It left behind its previous fierce facade as it spoke, making it appear somewhat childlike again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he had finished with his questions, Yu Zhen\u2019s knitted brows still didn\u2019t relax.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The baby spirit called itself San\u2019er* because it was Qiu Xiehua\u2019s third child. He was birthed by a secret mistress that Qiu Xiehua had after his first wife had passed away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>*It\u2019s an affectionate(and quite old fashioned) way of calling a third child. San=three. Er=child.<\/sup><\/span><\/em><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the very beginning, Qiu Xiehua had no intention of letting the child live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In those times, old superstitions were rampant. Qiu Xiehua looked like an upright and earnest individual but, in reality, he was a superstitious person through and through. One year, the Qiu family\u2019s business had encountered a crisis. At the same time, he had heard of a method for changing fortunes \u2014 raising a young ghost.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qiu Xiehua had heard of an advanced version of raising young ghosts. The ghost couldn\u2019t be a young ghost that was invited to his family. It had to be his own child.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His third child was the one he had prepared to become a young ghost.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San\u2019er had been \u2018kidnapped\u2019 by its nanny and it died tragically and alone in a ravine.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The innocent baby spirit was then brought back and trapped in the residence by its own father through the use of a secret technique. Later on, when Qiu Feixiong secretly caused a half-formed spirit to develop, it had absorbed the spirit and gained a sense of self.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From then on, it had stopped protecting the Qiu family, causing the Qiu family\u2019s business to go on a decline.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All three of the half-formed spirits it had absorbed were the result of the Qiu family men causing trouble with beauties, then secretly dealing with the problem using abortion or other means.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children who were aborted, or otherwise unfortunately lost, would normally not become half-formed spirits. If they failed to be born in that reincarnation, they could still reenter the cycle of reincarnation again. However, possibly due to the influence of Old Man Qiu or the guilty consciences of the Qiu men, once they had caused the loss of a life, they had also used Old Man Qiu\u2019s method of trapping the departed soul via the phony \u2018ceremony\u2019 to help the spirit \u2018pass on\u2019.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coincidentally, the time at which the baby spirit had absorbed the first half-formed spirit was around the same time that Yin Yan was born. Then the Qiu family\u2019s business became very bad. Old Man Qiu\u2019s superstitious nature reared its ugly head, and he blamed it on Yin Yan\u2019s birth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, Yu Zhen didn\u2019t do anything to the baby spirit. Instead, he acted on his own initiative and released it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he arrived back in the living room, the group of people who\u2019d gone to see Old Man Qiu had already returned. He looked at the dignified men of the Qiu family and only saw murderers whose hands were covered in blood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The younger generation of the Qiu family had all woken up and headed downstairs. Qiu Feixiong had two sons while Qiu Feijun had a son and a daughter. Yu Zhen glanced at each of them and realized that, apart from Qiu Feixiong\u2019s youngest son, all of them had been tainted by something.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His eyes fell on Qiu Feixiong who continued to talk about business. He had a thin layer of negative energy on him. Lowering his own eyes, Yu Zhen gripped Yin Yan\u2019s hand.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was an old saying that he agreed with \u2012 a human heart is scarier than the supernatural.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Qiu family was as Yin Le had described. They were both annoying and poison-tongued. They asked about Yu Zhen\u2019s family background in a roundabout way, as if looking to assess his social status so they could treat him accordingly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike usual, Yu Zhen didn\u2019t try to keep up his usual politeness. He treated them like they were empty air and Yin Le followed his lead and talked back to them. Qiu Feiting couldn\u2019t bear to see the annoyed looks on the face of her sister\u2019s children, so she stepped in and asked three questions that the younger generation least wanted to hear during the New Year \u2012 How is your school work going? Do you have a partner? Did you have any achievements at work this year?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As he was thinking that the atmosphere in the living room was stifling, Yu Zhen\u2019s attention was caught by the female ghost drifting in the back. She looked like she wanted to wrap herself around Qiu Junwen again but was afraid of Yin Yan. After a moment\u2019s thought, Yu Zhen made his first attempt to use the method of drawing spirits closer that Yin Yan had taught him. He pulled the female ghost to him and then tugged on Yin Yan\u2019s hand, indicating that he should leave the room with him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan returned his hold and stood up. Looking at Qiu Feiqian and Qiu Feiting, he said, \u201cMom, Aunty, I\u2019m taking Yu Zhen to the balcony for some fresh air. It\u2019s a bit stuffy in the room so he feels a little uncomfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qiu Feiqian looked over and saw that he truly didn\u2019t look too well. She almost lost control of the anger built up by the unpleasant words of her impolite nieces and nephews, but she endured it and replied, \u201cThe heat in this room and certain people can really make one feel unwell. Go on. The balcony will be cold. Make sure to put on your coats before going out. And don\u2019t stay too long. We\u2019ll be going home soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan nodded. Then they went to the entrance hall and put on their coats and scarves before heading to the balcony<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWell, country folk will always be country folk. So used to being cold in the winter, they can\u2019t get used to central heating,\u201d Qiu Junwen mocked.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qiu Feiqian\u2019s expression turned dark, but before she had the chance to explode, Qiu Feiting threw her melon seeds aside and sharply said, \u201cJunwen, you\u2019re thirty-one, right? How is your work? Do you have a partner? Xiao Yan has already started working at the company and is handling some projects. When he was on assignment to the branch office, he did his job extremely well. How about you? Are you still working in that video game company that can make you big fortunes?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPfffftttt,\u201d Yin Le jeered. \u201cAunty, isn\u2019t that game company old news? That plan has long fallen through. Right now, he\u2019s running an entertainment club. It\u2019s one that\u2019s quiet by day, but busy by night. It\u2019s doing very well.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quiet by day, but busy by night. Qiu Feiting was quite delighted at Yin Le\u2019s phrasing and she meaningfully commented, \u201cOh, an entertainment club. That\u2019s also a profitable business&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The disdain and ridicule hidden underneath those words made Qiu Junwen turn red and feel suffocated. He couldn\u2019t talk back since Qiu Feiting was an elder, making him feel doubly choked with resentment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the balcony, Yin Yan immediately waved a hand and set up a boundary so that no one could overhear. Then he quietly moved to one side, not disturbing Yu Zhen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen looked at him gratefully, then brought the female ghost, whose face was full of terror, closer to him. He relaxed his expression and asked, \u201cWhy are you harassing Qiu Junwen? And this negative energy from your body\u2026 You\u2019ve harmed someone before?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The female ghost frantically shook her head. She replied in a panic, \u201cI-I haven\u2019t hurt anyone. This was given to me by my little daughter. I\u2019m staying around Qiu Junwen because I want to protect my son. I\u2019m begging you, don\u2019t get rid of me. I beg you.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little daughter?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen was surprised. He saw how she touched her belly subconsciously and he felt a sudden sadness wash over him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a pregnant woman died unexpectedly because of an accident, their maternal instinct or other attachments could very easily cause them to become evil spirits. The negative energy from her body was no doubt stronger than that from other ghosts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd the cause of your death&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The female ghost calmed down. Tears suddenly dripped down her face as she replied, \u201cDrug overdose\u2026 How could I have possibly taken drugs?! Qiu Junwen had someone hurt me! He didn\u2019t want the child I was carrying! I want revenge! I want reve- No, I can\u2019t. I want to protect Ruijie. He\u2019s still young. I can\u2019t leave him alone in this house. I can\u2019t&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even after taking everything into account, she was still an evil spirit. Negativity dominated her being, but her maternal nature allowed her to suppress it. She had only lingered around her most hated person, making him unable to sleep at night and unable to rest whenever he laid down. Besides that, she just watched over her child from a distance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ghosts have reasons for their evil actions, but sometimes when people commit evil deeds, those actions were the ones that were pure evil.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen decided to let the ghost go. He made an opportunity to get close to her son, Qiu Ruijie. Under Yin Yan\u2019s instruction, Yu Zhen placed a protective barrier over the boy, making him immune to the influence of ghosts and allowing the female ghost to remain close to him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they left the Qiu family residence, Yu Zhen was silent. Qiu Feiqian thought that he had been worn down by Qiu Junwen and the rest of the horrid company. The resentment she felt for her side of the family almost overflowed. As soon as they arrived home, she took care of their lunch, making good food for Yu Zhen in hopes of making him feel happier.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing her worry, Yu Zhen forced himself to act cheerfully while he ate lunch. Then he used the excuse of a bedtime nap to return to his room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Why let them go?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan walked behind Yu Zhen and placed his hands on his head. Then he began to gently massage it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen\u2019s attention drifted back from his thoughts. He raised his head to look at him and replied, \u201cI just felt that they weren\u2019t bad\u2026 Although the baby spirit absorbed three half-formed spirits, he left Xin Xiaoxiao\u2019s spirit to roam in the villa. It\u2019s clear that it\u2019s not a truly evil spirit. As for Xin Xiaoxiao\u2026 She only wants to protect her child.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEvil spirits are fickle. Although they haven\u2019t harmed anyone before, there\u2019s no guarantee that they won\u2019t do so in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen lowered his head. He replied quietly, \u201cI know\u2026 If they really want to have their revenge on the Qiu family t-then where there\u2019s a cause, there\u2019s an effect. Innocent people will be protected, but the murderers\u2026 I don\u2019t want to help them. I don\u2019t want to help them at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grandpa had once said that actions will have consequences. If things are difficult because of the consequences of evil actions, let nature take its course. Heavenly law will give these causes and consequences a conclusion.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen couldn\u2019t bring himself to cause the baby spirit\u2019s soul to scatter into the winds, and he also couldn\u2019t force a mother to leave her child so that she could enter the reincarnation cycle. As a result, he chose to let nature run its course. He would pretend he didn\u2019t see or hear anything. In the end, the heavens would give a conclusion to these issues.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan remained calm as he asked, \u201cHave you thought about what might happen when the baby spirit loses its intelligence? Not only could it seek revenge, but it could also harm innocent bystanders. Not everyone in the Qiu family is bad.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen froze.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Most of the time, evil spirits can\u2019t control themselves.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen was dumbstruck. He thought of the housekeepers and guards at the Qiu family home, and of the youngest son of Qiu Feixiong. The light in his eyes dimmed a little. \u201cDo we have to send them away? Did I&#8230;do the wrong thing?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His heart was filled with a suffocating sense of despair. He called into question the good and bad in the world, and he doubted himself. A part of him felt unwilling to do the deed and the conflicting feelings burned within him.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source of his feelings came from the deepest part of his soul, where his negative energy was rooted. There was a feeling of indignation and anger.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are ghosts automatically bad? Do people have to be saved? Because the heavens favor humans, when both sides oppose each other, do we have to unconditionally stand on the side of people?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But weren\u2019t ghosts humans before they became ghosts? Before they became ghosts, when they were still humans and were harmed by other humans, <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why didn\u2019t the heavens help them<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isn\u2019t there a saying that virtue will be rewarded and evil will face retribution?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby spirits were ignorant babies. How did they turn evil? Xin Xiaoxiao was an ordinary, beautiful young woman. She was a mother who\u2019d believed in a scumbag. Why was she considered evil? Who will balance the accounts of her tragic death?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many innocent people in the world who have been cheated and trampled on by the people around them. They couldn\u2019t just take the injustice lying down. They wanted revenge, they wanted to watch over their attachments, or they wanted to let go of their past and live another life. They became \u2018evil spirits\u2019, but did that mean they were truly bad? Did they deserve to die? Should everyone call for them to be hurt and exterminated?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they deserve it?\u2026 Could they not have even their smallest sliver of happiness?<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yu Zhen\u2019s newly formed Taoist heart was suddenly pushed to the brink of shattering. The anger at the injustice resonated in the depths of his soul. The energy on his body slowly changed and his eyes lost focus. Faint negative energy appeared.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yu Zhen!&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yin Yan\u2019s expression changed greatly. He moved around and held Yu Zhen\u2019s shoulder. Then he set up a barrier to block the emanating negative energy. He looked into Yu Zhen\u2019s eyes and earnestly said, \u201cYou weren\u2019t wrong. I\u2019m here. You weren\u2019t wrong. The heavens have no emotions, but we do. You can help them, restrain them. Let them live in a more appropriate manner in this world. Contradictions have always existed. There aren\u2019t just the two choices of letting them live or letting them die. Yu Zhen, I\u2019m here. Look at me!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The turbulence in Yu Zhen\u2019s heart remained in a dangerous state. Yu Zhen\u2019s unfocused eyes slowly drifted over, as if he was looking at Yin Yan but also as if he wasn\u2019t looking. He looked numb and empty. Reaching out a hand, he whispered, \u201cMaster\u2026 I don\u2019t want to die\u2026 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Save me<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bang.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As if someone had taken a hammer to it, Yin Yan\u2019s heart was violently struck. He immediately grabbed hold of the half-extended hand that was falling downward as Yu Zhen passed out. Yin Yan\u2019s body was as rigid as stone. His hands slowly tightened around Yu Zhen and his fingertips turned white from his tight grip.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had pictured thousands of different things that his disciple might have said before he died, but he hadn\u2019t thought of that. He had thought his disciple was wholeheartedly ready to die. He truly never imagined that his last words could have been something like that.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Save me.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His disciple had asked for help.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He bowed his head, his voice full of sorrow and almost inaudible. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, I couldn&#8217;t save you.
