If he knew earlier, even a thousand dollars wouldn’t be able to by an ‘if he knew earlier.’ Now, Xie Yiyuan was very sorry for messing with Song Ruoxi. His family’s company was losing business, while the employees were losing their lives.

  But Xie Yiyuan was also full of bitterness. Who would think that Song Ruoxi was followed by a Phantom King? When a boy met a girl he liked, he would definitely pursue her.

  After all, Xie Yiyuan’s conditions weren’t bad either. His family had money. Although he couldn’t be compared with Feng Yin, in ordinary people’s eyes, he was outstanding.

  Xie Yiyuan’s face was pale and irritated. Looking at Ning Shu, he said in a fierce voice, “Is there really no way to kill him? How about we destroy his soul?”


  Xie Yiyuan had pent up rage inside him. The other party wanted to strangle him to death, and there was no way he would just take it lying down.

  Now was just a start.

  Ning Shu pressed her lips together. “Everyone has weaknesses, even if they become ghosts. However, we have no choice but to take it step-by-step.”


  “That won’t do. I’m worried that he’ll do something to the company’s employees,” said Xie Yiyuan.

  This was also entirely possible.

  After all, the death of this female supervisor had brought trouble to the Xie Family. If something happened to any of the company’s other employees, the Xie family wouldn’t be able to afford it.

  The string of deaths would push the Xie family over the edge.

  Xie Yiyuan was also concerned about this. He wasn’t afraid of the Phantom King coming to the Xie Manor. Rather, he was worried the Phantom King would do this.

  Ning Shu’s body was a bit uncomfortable. She had just transcended the female superior, so she really didn’t feel well right now. She said to Xie Yiyuan, “Let’s go back first.”


  Xie Yiyuan drove the car, and Ning Shu sat on the passenger side. Xie Yiyuan suddenly stepped on the brakes.

  The car violently stopped as the tires rubbed against the ground with a sharp screech. Ning Shu’s body leaned forward all of a sudden. Ning Shu’s heart pounded, and her face went white.

  “Why the sudden breaks?” asked Ning Shu in a bad mood.

  Xie Yiyuan said, “I just saw a guy standing in the middle of the street, so I hit the brakes.”


  Ning Shu rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless.

  People with poor health would see ghosts in the daytime, too, it seemed.

  Ning Shu stuck some talismans on Xie Yiyuan’s body. “Straighten your chest. What’s there to be afraid of? As long as your conscience is clear, you don’t need to be afraid of any demons or monsters.”


  Back at the villa, Ning Shu walked into the living room and saw an old man in a Daoist robe. His hair was combed back into a bun, and he had a cloth sail with a Yin and Yang diagram drawn on it. The cloth had the words ‘Point the way to the lost gentleman, and free the long-suffering’.

  It was very dusty.

  At the moment, he was talking to Xie Weiming while stroking his slightly graying beard from time to time.

  Ning Shu was pleasantly surprised to see him. She hastily walked over and said, “Master, what are you doing here?”


  Shouldn’t the old man be a thousand miles away? Why was he suddenly here?

  The old man turned his head to look at Ning Shu and noticed her pale face. “Injured?”


  He immediately grabbed Ning Shu’s wrist, took her pulse, and looked at her with slanted eyes. “How did you get yourself into such a mess?”


  Ning Shu asked, “What are you doing here? What about the junior brothers and sisters? You just left them like that and came running?

  “What if something happens?”


  “Okay, okay, stop being so noisy. I arranged for your junior siblings to be placed in a farmer’s home.” The old man said, “I couldn’t shake off this restless feeling lately. I felt something had happened to you, so I came over to see.”


  Ning Shu exhaled in relief.

  “What’s the matter with you? Didn’t I tell you not to face powerful ghosts head-on?” said the old man in a bad mood. He then took out a pill and gave it to Ning Shu. “Take it.”


  Ning Shu somewhat hesitantly ate something like a clay pill. She suddenly remembered the compass and told the old man about its strangeness and that a dragon actually flew out of the compass.
