speaking about the affairs of the Wu family."If Aunt Zhen had told me her identity sooner, I could have written to my grandmother to comfort her."“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t. Whe...When Madam Pan saw the black mist, she was startled and cried out in alarm:

What is this

Immediately, she noticed that as the black gas poured out faster, her son Wenbin's body was shrinking at a visible rate. In less than five breaths, she smelled a foul odor, and she directly pointed at her son's sunken cheeks and screamed:

"Ah! Master!"

Then his legs went weak, and he fell directly onto Lord Pan.

Master Pan instinctively reached out to support his wife, and his voice was unsteady as he called out to Lianyi.

"Fairy, fairy, Bin'er, what's wrong"

After stuttering out the sentence, he too caught a whiff of that foul odor. His face drained of color. Master Pan knew very well what it was: the smell of decaying flesh.

Driven out of Pan Wenbin's body, the demonic energy found its assailant and flew directly at Lianshui.

Liàn Yī coldly snorted, this time directly throwing out a thunderball which collided with the mass of evil energy. For a moment, a violent wind raged through the room as the two forces clashed. Because the thunderball was supported by Liàn Yī's spiritual energy, it ultimately strangled the mass of evil energy completely, and the room finally returned to peace.

"Good, the evil spirit has been banished."

The ripples of the voice woke up Mr. and Mrs. Pan, who were huddled together on the side, They finally lifted their heads. Mrs. Pan took a step forward and rushed to Pan Wenbin's bedside, but the next moment she was sickened by the smell and vomited directly.

“As I said, your son is already dead. What keeps his body going is a demonic entity. It will gradually devour Master Pan’s flesh. You see him still breathing now, but it’s just an illusion created by the demon. Please cremate your son's corpse as soon as possible and bury it. Don’t keep him in mourning.”

The ripples noodle spoke without emotion.

"This is going to leave my son nothing but bones! No way! Absolutely not!"

Madam Pan had stopped feeling nauseous by now. Hearing Lian Yi's words, she immediately refused and shouted loudly.

The ripples didn't get angry, they just said faintly:

"Can your son now be buried, or is it because I'm here that he remains What exactly did he do Why is he haunted by spirits You should know this better than me!"

This fairy doesn't want to say much. If Master Pan wants the entire Pan family to be buried with him, then do as your wife demands! Lu Yao has said her piece!

The ripple's voice was somewhat cold; after speaking, it turned and left Pan Gongzi's bedroom.

"Look at the fine son you've raised. He committed such heinous acts that he brought this retribution upon himself. Do you still want to drag the entire Pan family down with him"

Immediately, a sharp ripple of sound reached his ears, followed by the crisp slap of a hand. Then came Master Pan’s commanding voice, and the thudding footsteps as he pursued.

"Lu Yao Fairy, please stay!"

After the ripples met with Minmin and Wenlu, they nodded at the two, indicating that the matter had been taken care of. Mr. Pan also caught up to them.

"Thank you, Lu Yao fairy, for helping my Pan family escape disaster."

Mr. Pan expressed his sincere gratitude and had the steward hand over two silver ingots worth a thousand taels each. Minmin stepped forward and took the silver ingots.

"Master Pan, since this fairy has made a move, I must ensure there are no future troubles. Could you tell me about the entanglement between your son and that courtesan Lian Yue"

After the ripples settled, she asked very directly.

"Alas! To be honest, it's my fault for failing to guide him properly."

Mr. Pan's face was full of shame, and he immediately told everyone what he knew.

The Pan family has been in control of Shuangqi Town for generations. Their family business brought them modest wealth, but I always longed to change our fortunes. So, I sent my youngest son, Wenbin, to the academy, hoping he would pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to our name.

He met several young masters from prominent families at the academy—the Zhao family, the Qian family, the Sun family, and the Li family. The young men often played together, and their wives did not restrict them from spending money, so under their instigation, he frequently took them to Yuelou Tavern, where he met Lady Lian Yue.

This Lian Yue girl was a pure maiden. She was also a clever woman, knowing that the four young masters were only after temporary freshness and wouldn't redeem her, let alone take her into their families. Because of her background, in those official households, she wasn't even qualified to be a lowly concubine.

So she only showed favor to my son, hoping he would help her escape her misery. The four young masters were rejected by the beauty and naturally felt resentful. Therefore, on the day Wenbin decided to redeem Lian Yue, they got Bin'er drunk, and what happened after that, I don't know. All I know is that when Wenbin was sent back home, he was drunk and unconscious.

When he went to redeem her the next day after sobering up, she was gone. The madam told him, "You're a step late, son. A wealthy merchant who passed by took a liking to her and redeemed her that very night."

Wén Bīn felt that he had been deceived by Liányuě Girl and was very depressed for a period of time. Afterward, there were rumors that Liányuě was not redeemed and left, but was taken away by the four young masters. Wén Bīn went to inquire at each of their homes, but they were all driven out by their servants and never even saw the faces of those young masters.

Ever since then, he has been gloomy and despondent. Shortly after, rumors of the Red-Clad Ghost Woman spread, and all four young masters met with misfortune, including even the madam of Yaoyue Tower. Now, it is my son's turn.

Master Pan sighed helplessly.

"As for the exorcism I did for you, feel free to spread the word, especially to those four families. This fairy wants to see how they're doing. Do you understand"

The ripples are a metaphor.

"Yes, old man understands!"

Master Pan immediately agreed, and Lian Yi bid farewell very crisply.

Back at the inn, Minmin finally spoke.

"Miss, do you believe the reason Pan Laoye gave"

He definitely favors his own son, but I'm sure these five people did something terrible to Lian Yue. Combining what Luo Huai heard from the rumors, Lian Yue should have been bullied by these five people, and when she was left with her last breath, they abandoned her in a mass grave.

Ripples shared her guess.

"Miss, are you releasing this message to help those four families get rid of evil spirits"

"Evil spirits must be dealt with, but not to help them, only to prevent them from growing stronger."

"Miss, can you really exorcise spirits When did you learn"

Minmin looked at him with a face full of doubt.

"Of course, I learned it from books. Your young lady is so intelligent; naturally, she would learn it right away. Otherwise, spending three years on the farm wouldn't be bearable at all."

R ripples came up with an excuse at random.

Wen Lu gave her daughter a look, stopping her from asking further. Since the young lady didn't want to say, they wouldn't press her.

After dinner, Luo Huai even came to urge his young lady again. She always felt that this place was not safe.

After being soothed by the ripples and receiving another thousand tael silver note, Luo Huai started planning to buy more things.

The next day at noon, the Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li families all sent their most capable managers to invite Lu Yao Xianzi to help exorcise the evil spirits.

Having donned their best attire, Lianyi set out with Wenlu and Minmin once more, returning to their role as wise and esteemed figures.ppens first.Li Qian knew that it wasn't easy for everyone to endure three months of the rainy season, so he deliberately slowed down, acting as a guide and leading them in the right direction. They di...
