“Daughter-in-law of Laoer, stop talking nonsense!”

“Wretch! Shut up!”

Hong Jianlin and Laoer, their eyes reddened, shouted together.

Laoer lunged forward to cover his wife’s mouth, and quickly explained, “Officer, don’t listen to her babble… She has brain issues… All, you bitch, are you biting me?”

Laoer’s wife bit her husband, broke free, and screamed, “It was them, those heartless three brothers, my father-in-law originally had five years of mortal lifespan left, but they sought that old witch to cast evil sorcery that killed my father-in-law!”

At her words, the two Hong brothers became frantic and lunged over to stop her from saying more.

While Laoer’s wife appeared somewhat hysterical.

She ran madly around the living room, and for a while, the two grown men were unable to grab her.

“Officer, it was all their idea!”

“They killed the old man, so they were punished on the day of the funeral!”

“MLGB, I want a divorce!”

“Then we’ll divorce, you flaccid rubber man, I’ve had enough…”

Smack!

She tripped over the unconscious wife of Hong Jianlin and fell to the floor.

Laoer took advantage of this and grabbed his wife, spanking her unceremoniously.

Xu Yang and Bai Wei, watching this unsightly farce, were dumbfounded!

Bai Wei shook her head and sighed, “A family should never come to this.”

Xu Yang lit a cigarette, watched the farce before him, and said, “This is human nature…I once read a saying, it goes, ‘Humans know ghosts to be terrifying, ghosts know humans to be poisonous.'”

“The human heart.Js even more frightening than ghosts!”

Xu Yang originally had not given much thought to that saying.

But as he comes into contact with spirits and ghosts, he suddenly realizes…

Spirits and ghosts can be quite naive.

Good means good.

Evil means evil.

It is very clear.

But human hearts are unfathomably deep…Who could have imagined that the three Hong brothers, living in a villa, driving luxury cars, marrying beautiful wives – appearing to live a perfect life but secretly they’re capable of such despicable deeds?

“Officer!”

“Officer!”

While Laoer and his wife were fighting, Hong Jianlin said, “My father died of natural causes; you must not listen to Laoer’s wife…”

He wanted to explain.

After all…

The old master did truly “walk away” on his own.

Even if the police were to investigate, they wouldn’t find anything.

“I’m not the police; you don’t need to explain anything to me.”

Xu Yang said indifferently and then raised his voice, shouting, “Everybody, shut up… Bai Wei, close the curtains.”

Bai Wei closed the curtains.

Xu yang then unfolded his hand, taking out an incense burner, and lit three incense sticks.

He bowed to the air and muttered, “Old Master Hong, 1 know you have grievances, you have hate, come out.”

With his action…

Whooosh!

A sudden gust of Yin wind swept the room.

A figure slowly materialized out of thin air.

The temperature in the large living room dropped instantly!

Unlike Wan Qian’s grandpa.

Wan Qian’s grandpa’s spirit was very feeble. He was barely able to materialize on his own, and he couldn’t even put his thoughts into words.

His was a lingering obsession, an unfinished wish.

But the ghostly figure in front of them, with its astonishing malignance and aggression, was instantly materialized, making Bai Wei tense. She suddenly gasped, “Not good!”

“A B-level Yin spirit!”

Apparently.

The Supernatural Affairs Bureau has its own grading system for spirits and ghosts.

As she spoke, Bai Wei was about to unleash her energy.

Xu Yang waved his hand and said, “Miss Bai, don’t be anxious, hold back, don’t attack yet.”

As soon as he had entered the room, he had sensed the Yin energy pervading it, guessing that the so-called “Elder Hong’s” spirit was there…The Hong brothers’ frequent fits were in fact caused by Elder Hong’s spirit obsessing them.

Logically, Elder Hong’s spirit, with its great malignancy and aggression, could have killed the three Hong brothers long ago.

But it did not.

This suggests…

He doesn’t want to kill.

He doesn’t want to seriously harm his own three adopted sons.

As the ghostly figure coalesced, the Yin spirit revealed itself.

Hong Laoer and his wife, who were previously arguing, came to a halt.

Even Hong Jianlin’s wife, who had fainted, woke up.

The four of them stared in unison at the figure floating in the center of the living room, their faces flashing with disbelief!

And this look of disbelief quickly turned into shock and fear!

Thump!

Hong Jianlin was the first to kneel down, crying out, “Father…! was wrong, I’m worse than pigs and dogs!”

Slap! Slap! Slap!

He slapped himself crazily across the face.

The remaining three also knelt down, slapping themselves in frantic guilt.

“Father, I have not been a dutiful son.”

“Father…”

One by one, they implored the ghostly figure for forgiveness.

The ghost hovered a foot off the ground, wearing a set of black silk mourning clothes. The rage that had filled his face slowly dissipated.

“I don’t blame you.”

“I just don’t understand…1 devoted my entire life, every bit of my heart and soul, to raising you three as my own sons. Why did you treat me this way?”

Eider Hong spoke.

He had been unable to speak during his life, which is why when he possessed the bodies of the Hong brothers, they behaved so crazy and growled like beasts.

But now, as his resentment dissolved,

He could suddenly speak.

His eyes, filled with blood light and fierce energy, were gradually clearing.

All his resentment turned into a sigh, and then his figure gradually faded away.

Ding!

“Congratulations, you have successfully guided the spirit to transcendence. Reward: 300 merits.”

The system notification echoed in Xu Yang’s mind.

He was a little taken aback…

This old man materialized but didn’t take revenge on the three brothers. He only spoke a few simple words, sighed, and then left the world of the living…Perhaps deep down, he still cared for the sons he’d raised.

Bai Wei was also stunned.

That was it?

The spirit was a Class-B Yin Spirit!

Just a step further and it could have matched the power of a “Red-dressed Vengeful Ghost” of Class-A!

Even with her full strength, she could barely have captured such a powerful Yin spirit, let alone banished it. But Master Xu had effortlessly resolved the issue without even lifting a finger!

Xu Yang was not the least bit pleased with the 300 merit points he had earned.

Feeling strangely agitated, he walked over and kicked Hong Jianlin onto the ground, saying coldly, “Now…will you confess your wrongdoings?”

Whimpering…

Hong Jianlin, tear-stricken, confessed everything.

Everything.

It was consistent with what Xu Yang and the others had learned from their investigations and hearsay.

The three brothers were indeed adopted by Elder Hong, who treated them as his own sons. Despite being mute, he raised the three of them, spent all his hard-earned money on their education, and this was clear from the toil he suffered.

Having made their fortunes and started families, it was supposed to be time for them to support the old man and let him enjoy his retirement.

However, Elder Hong had an accident that left him bedridden and paralysed from the waist down.

Filial piety often disappears when a parent falls ill for prolonged periods.

The daily nursing and caretaking, coupled with the daughters-in-law — who lacked caring and filial piety, bickering over trivial matters and causing trouble gradually changed the brothers’ attitudes.

“We…we invited Mrs. Zhang because we heard she possesses miracle-working powers, and we hoped she could heal my father’s legs.”

Hong Laoer choked up, “Mrs. Zhang came and said my father’s legs were beyond cure…she bluntly told us my father would suffer on his sickbed for another five years. She said she could help him find peace…”

“We, brothers, blinded by foolishness, actually agreed to Mrs. Zhang’s proposal!”

“You three brothers are indeed no good!”

Xu Yang said coldly, “What did Mrs. Zhang do? Did she kill your father?”

“No, no, no…she didn’t kill anyone.”

“She performed a ritual…drew many strange characters on the ground, found a candle and a red string, tied one end of the string to my father’s finger, and the other end to the candle.”

“When…when the candle burns out, my father’s lifespan would also end!”

Witchcraft! Searing Away Life to Seize Fate!

Xu Yang recalled an evil sorcery mentioned in the Divine Ascension Scripture which stirred him!

Meanwhile, Hong Jianlin continued, “Just recently, I called Mrs. Zhang, but she didn’t answer.”

Xu Yang’s expression shifted, and he turned sharply to Bai Wei, “Quick, to Guoqiao Village…”
