Chapter 299: Chapter 298: If You Can Spare Someone, Spare Them "Qin Liuxi said she believed her, and a faint glimmer of light appeared in Fusheng’s eyes, but she didn’t miss the message in her words. ""Are you suggesting that this so-called Master of Buddha Bones is an Evil Cultivator?"" Qin Liuxi did not reply to this question, merely glancing at her sideways: ""Why, thinking of snatching these Buddha Bones to become a Ghost Cultivator?"" ""Could I?"" Fusheng’s eyes brightened even more. Qin Liuxi showed a cruel smile. ""Forget it. Compared to these Buddha Bones, that flame of yours is far more terrifying,"" Fusheng said warily, looking at her. ""You know what’s good for you."" Fusheng looked towards Xiao Qinghan and asked, ""How do you intend to deal with me? Shatter my soul into pieces?"" ""Although you have caused the loss of lives, the number is not large. King Yan’s Yama Hall will judge you; why should I strike you? If you are obstinate and unrepentant, then I’ll have no choice but to use force,"" Qin Liuxi sat down and said indifferently, ""You died unjustly. You can plead your case to King Yan underground, whether you face punishment or become a laborer, you will get through it. It’s up to you."" ""Can’t I stay?"" Following her gaze, Qin Liuxi said, ""The paths of the living and the ghosts are separate; if you stay by her side, she won’t live long, and your transgression will be recorded in the Merit and Demerit Record."" Fusheng fell silent. ""Your remains have already been collected by them, and I will find a peaceful place for your burial. If Xiao Qinghan is willing, setting up a memorial tablet for you is also a form of solace. That should be sufficient,"" Qin Liuxi said. ""But if you linger here with her, she won’t meet a good end."" ""Will she be alright if I leave?"" Qin Liuxi was silent for a moment before saying, ""She will keep the company of an ancient Buddha by the dim light of a lantern."" Fusheng’s expression changed, and after a long pause, she asked, ""Because of me? Then what’s the point if I leave?"" ""She must also redeem the sins to you on behalf of her family."" It’s a sin, and it’s also a result of karma. Tears welled up in Fusheng’s eyes, and she placed her hand on Xiao Qinghan’s cheek: ""I don’t need this. Little Taoist, please save her. Can you make her forget me, so she won’t become a monk? It’s too painful."" Qin Liuxi said indifferently, ""Even so, she will repay in another way, such as shortening her lifespan, among other things."" ""Why so? It was her father who killed me; why should she be the one to repay? What about Governor Xiao and the others, do they continue to sit comfortably in high positions? That’s just too unfair,"" Fusheng wept. ""He has his own karma and will be judged for his crimes in due time. You don’t need to sigh it’s unfair. Sometimes, the Heavenly Dao is just."" Fusheng sneered coldly in response, accepting neither affirmation nor denial. Qin Liuxi glanced outside and said, ""Her evil energy hasn’t dispersed, and she won’t get better. You can’t stay long."" Fusheng immediately panicked. Qin Liuxi took a bell bracelet from the makeup box, examined it, cast a spell on it, and said to Fusheng, ""Come inside first."" Fusheng hesitated, reaching out to touch Xiao Qinghan’s face. ""You’ll see her again. She’s not awake now, and there’s no use watching over her. Come in, otherwise Governor Xiao and the rest will burst in here,"" Qin Liuxi said impatiently. Fusheng reluctantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and entered the bell. Qin Liuxi breathed a sigh of relief, put the bracelet into her bosom, glanced at Xiao Qinghan on the bed, pressed a Soul Stabilizing Talisman under her pillow, and then walked out of the room to burn an exorcism talisman, clearing out all the evil spirits lingering in the courtyard. She still needed to paste a Golden Light Divine Spell on the eaves, but that had to wait, as she had no materials at hand. After everything was done, Qin Liuxi felt a dull pain in her chest and rubbed her temples before pushing open the courtyard gate." Governor Xiao and the others rushed over as soon as they saw the courtyard door open, but they didn’t dare to enter. The noises coming from the courtyard were anything but subtle; the howling gale had scared everyone’s complexion pale, even those who didn’t believe in ghosts and spirits were on the verge of kneeling. Just imagine: while everywhere else in the residence was calm and peaceful, only the courtyard of his daughter was eerily strange, with shrill screams that were incredibly terrifying. So, even as they reached the entrance of the courtyard, they didn’t dare to step in, until Qin Liuxi appeared in their view, safe and unharmed. "Master, how is my daughter?" Governor Xiao swallowed hard, turning his gaze towards the interior of the courtyard. Even though he tried to stay calm, his slightly trembling voice still revealed the panic in his heart. Qin Liuxi stepped aside and said, "Come in. Your beloved daughter is safe but her Primordial Qi is greatly depleted. She needs to be taken care of." The two men were overjoyed. Xiao Zhanrui hurriedly told Housekeeper Jiang to inform his mother so she wouldn’t be overly concerned, and then turned to look at Qin Liuxi. Seeing her face as white as paper, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of alarm: "Master, are you alright? You don’t look well." Governor Xiao also just noticed Qin Liuxi’s complexion, and, recalling the earlier commotion, asked, "Master, are you injured?" "People of the Mystic Sect pursue the extermination of evil spirits and the protection of the Dao; it’s not uncommon for us to sustain injuries," Qin Liuxi replied with deliberate profundity. A little bell in her arms jangled. The unexpected sound of the bell startled both father and son, who changed color and asked, "Where did that bell sound come from?" Qin Liuxi took a bracelet with small bells from her bosom. "This belongs to my younger sister..." "That’s right, it is Miss Xiao’s," Qin Liuxi said. A daughter’s personal belongings should not be casually handled by others, even if the person is a Daoist. Thinking that Qin Liuxi wanted to return it, Governor Xiao reached out to take it. Qin Liuxi then added, "The ghost of Fusheng is sealed inside it." Governor Xiao’s hand retracted like a lightning bolt, stepping back in horror, he looked at the bell with a wary expression. Xiao Zhanrui was also terrified, swallowed hard, and said, "Fusheng... is it really the ghost of that actor Fusheng?" The bell bracelet suddenly and violently shook, causing the sound of the bells to ring out clearly and crisply in the quiet courtyard. Qin Liuxi’s hand didn’t move, but the bell went crazy like that; it was hard for the father and son not to believe. Governor Xiao said in a stern voice, "Master, if it’s truly that person causing trouble, why haven’t you banished her soul to oblivion?" The fact that the bell bracelet, which belonged to his daughter, still contained Fusheng’s ghost, what did that mean? The bell bracelet shook even more violently, as if it was about to break free from Qin Liuxi’s grasp. If Governor Xiao and his son were to touch the bell, they would realize the depth of the malevolent energy within it. Qin Liuxi continued, "She is here for a reason. Mr. Xiao, Fusheng died wrongfully because of your orders to torture and kill. Even if you didn’t do it personally, you gave the order. The karma is already formed, so don’t add to it, otherwise it will do you no good." Governor Xiao’s face turned pale upon hearing this. "Spare those that can be spared. She is dead, and wishing for her to never be reborn is too much," Qin Liuxi flicked the bell, and magically, it became quiet at her touch. This trick inspired awe in both the father and the son. Xiao Zhanrui quickly said, "Master, my father was only worried for my younger sister. Fusheng is dead, and we wish to conduct a ritual over forty-nine days for her rebirth and find a feng shui treasure for her burial, in hope of atoning. Please, we beg Fusheng to forgive us on my sister’s behalf this time." They killed her and now they want her to forgive them on behalf of their sister? This request was rather shameless.
