Inviting someone to deal with Lu Sheng was probably a little more reliable. What was the difference between asking a ghost-raising master for help and sending him to his death?
Lu Sheng smiled disapprovingly and said, “After all, they don’t know who I am.”
“Master, we’ve kidnapped those two fools for you.”
Halfway through, Jia Zheng and Tan Jun suddenly appeared. Behind them were two bruised ghosts.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “What happened?”
Jia Zheng chuckled. “The two of them were disobedient and even wanted to escape and harm others. Hence, Tan Jun and I beat them up and tied them up for you.”
“Well done!”
Lu Sheng gave the duo a thumbs up.
The two ghosts knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. “Lord, please spare us! We were instructed to do something. We didn’t mean to harm anyone!”
“Instructed?” Lu Sheng clicked her tongue. “Someone instructed you to find a substitute?”
“Yes, yes!”
The two ghosts nodded frantically. The other said, “It was Liu Daxian. He instructed us to do so!”
“Why did he make you do this? Did he receive money from others or did he do this deliberately?” Chu Sihan asked faintly.
“An old woman went to Liu Daxian yesterday and spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy that girl’s life. We had no choice.”
“Yes, yes! We were forced too. If we didn’t listen to orders, Liu Daxian would destroy our souls. We still want to be reborn. We don’t want to die!”
“What a joke!”
Jia Zheng placed his hands on the heads of the two ghosts and pressed them forcefully. He said angrily, “You want to be reborn? Let me tell you. If you go to the Netherworld, you’ll only be thrown into the River of Forgetfulness to feed bronze snakes and iron dogs.”
“Huh?”
The two ghosts were shocked.
“Why?” one of them asked blankly.
“Why?” Tan Jun said coldly, “Because that girl hasn’t done anything outrageous. If you find her to be a scapegoat, you’re killing people. No matter if it’s a human or a ghost, they won’t have a good ending.”
When Lu Sheng heard that, she looked up at Tan Jun.
Tan Jun killed that beast who bullied his mother just to avenge his mother.
To Lu Sheng, killing a person and killing a beast was different.
She pursed her lips and made a decision.
She could not let them follow her forever. After all, it was better to be a ghost than a human.
Lu Sheng did not want to listen to the two ghosts’ quibbles anymore. She took out the talisman and kept them away.
Tan Jun and Jia Zheng also returned to the Nurturing Talisman.
On the way back to the Wang family, Lu Sheng kept her head lowered and was silent.
Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Chu Sihan hurriedly asked in a low voice, “What are you thinking about?”
Lu Sheng pondered for a while before saying lightly, “I’m wondering if I should let Tan Jun and the rest leave.”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “Why do you suddenly want to let them go?”
“I just feel that rather than being ghosts who were restrained by humans, they might as well be carefree humans.”
Lu Sheng sighed deeply. She pursed her lips and continued, “Let them return to the human world.”
Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “What do you plan to do?”
Lu Sheng smiled and looked at him. “It’s time for us to treat Song Yufeng to a meal, right?”
Chu Sihan seemed to have guessed her intention and could not help but smile helplessly. “Let’s treat him when we get back.”
It seemed like she wanted to ask Song Yufeng for help to arrange for Tan Jun, Jia Zheng, and the rest to enter the cycle of reincarnation first..
