“Miss Liu is right.”

Zhu Zongyang’s voice seemed to have aged many years. He helped Madam Yu up and looked at Master Wang and Madam Wang coldly. “I’m the one who’s guilty of my daughter’s death. I’ll spend the rest of my life in regret, but you won’t have a good life either. I’ll wait to see the Wang family being wiped out.”

Zhu Zongyang looked at Liu Sanniang and lowered his head. “Miss Liu, I’m sorry… and thank you.”

Zhu Zongyang staggered towards the bed and picked up Zhu Yan. Madam Yu seemed to know what he was going to do. She wiped her tears and followed him.

Their voices were low, but it made people’s hearts break. Zhu Zongyang and Madam Yu said softly, “Yan, we’ll take you home. Don’t be afraid. When we’re home, there is nothing you need to be afraid of.”

Zhu Zongyang carried Zhu Yan’s corpse and walked out of the mansion step by step. No one dared to stop him.

Wei Shilai frowned and looked at Master Wang and Madam Wang.

Li Guanfeng said, “Magistrate Wei, there should be nothing for us to do here. Let’s go.”

Wei Shilai looked at Master Wang and Madam Wang fixedly without moving. Li Guanfeng seemed to know what was on his mind. He patted Wei Shilai on the shoulder and continued. “Magistrate Wei, Miss Liu is right. Humans know no mercy, but the heavens do.”

Wei Shilai looked away. Indeed, the heavens had mercy.

Even if there were still many injustices in this world, the heavens were fair. When the right time came, punishment would befall on those who deserved it.

Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, nice meeting you.”

Liu Sanniang nodded slightly.

Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang. He felt that she was different. She seemed to have been more enlightened. In her eyes, everything in the world had become the same.

He said, “Miss Liu, let’s go together.”

Master Wang and Madam Wang immediately responded. “Miss Liu can’t leave yet.”

As soon as everyone left, Master Wang and Madam Wang looked at Liu Sanniang. Master Wang suppressed the fear in his heart as he said, “Miss Liu, you’re a cultivator. You can’t just watch this vengeful soul kill people, right? We have plenty of money. Name a price. As long as you can subdue that soul, any price is fine.”

Madam Wang echoed. “That’s right. We can pay however much you want.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Master Wang and Madam Wang indifferently. “If I subdue him, his soul will dissipate and he will never be able to reincarnate. Is that what you want?”

Master Wang and Madam Wang’s expressions changed drastically. Madam Wang frowned. “Is there no other way to subdue it? Can’t you just use a formation to seal it forever?”

They had killed their son in exchange for overflowing wealth. How could they bear to let go of such a great temptation?

At this moment, Master Wang and Madam Wang did not treat Liu Sanniang as an ordinary person. They looked at Liu Sanniang with hope, revealing undiluted greed in their eyes. They did not care about their son’s soul being destroyed or being unable to reincarnate for eternity. They only cared about whether this wealth could last forever.

To Master Wang and Madam Wang, it was worth sacrificing one son in exchange for generations of prosperity. Even if this son died, they could still have another one.

However, they had no idea how painful it was to be sealed.

“Father, Mother, he, he’s here again…”

At this moment, Wang Xu woke up and let out a terrified cry. He crawled towards Master Wang and Madam Wang. His parents hugged Wang Xu and comforted him. “Xu, don’t worry. If that ghost doesn’t listen to us, he won’t be able to live for long. He asked for it.”

Master Wang looked at Liu Sanniang calmly. “If you can’t seal him, then get rid of him and make him unable to reincarnate.”

Wang Peng walked out with a vicious expression. “You evil old thing, if you dare, I’ll kill you all.”

After saying that, Wang Peng turned around and looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. “You went back on your word. I curse you to die a horrible death. If you dare to do that, I’ll wait for you in hell. I’ll wait ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years. At that time, I’ll definitely eat your flesh and drink your blood.”

Liu Sanniang walked towards him, but Wang Peng retreated and disappeared.

Master Wang and Madam Wang were both stunned. Hearing what he said, they became even more certain about getting rid of him. If he didn’t die, they would die.

Liu Sanniang said, “Ten thousand taels.”

Madam Wang gasped. “Miss Liu, that is a lot.”

Liu Sanniang asked calmly. “Is that a lot?”

Madam Wang didn’t know what to say. Old Master Wang continued. “It’s not a lot. As long as Miss Liu can help us get rid of the ghost, it’s not a lot at all.”

Wang Peng was getting stronger and stronger. He hated the entire Wang family to the core. It was true that he wanted to kill them all. If they died, what was the use of all the fortune they had accumulated?

After weighing the pros and cons, ten thousand yuan was nothing.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Take me to the place where he was sealed and dig him out.”

Upon hearing that, Master Wang frowned. “This…”

Before Master Wang could say anything, Liu Sanniang had already turned around. “Master Wang and Madam Wang, think about it.”

With that, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked out.

Madam Wang looked at Master Wang. “What should we do?”

At that time, the master who taught them this method said that the place where their son was sealed had to be kept a secret and no one was allowed to approach it. Otherwise, their fortune would be gone. They were hesitant and suspected that Liu Sanniang didn’t really want to help them. However, Liu Sanniang turned to leave without even waiting for them to ask her anything.

For a moment, Master Wang and Madam Wang did not know if they should trust Liu Sanniang.

Wang Xu trembled. “Dad, Mom, why are you hesitating? That thing is getting stronger and stronger. The formation can no longer hold it in place. If we can’t get rid of it, we’ll constantly live in fear.”

Master Wang frowned. “Leave it to me. I have plans.”

Madam Wang also said, “Xu, don’t worry. We will definitely consider it carefully. Don’t be afraid.”

Wang Xu gritted his teeth in anger. “When he’s gone, I can get married and have children to replace him. Do you really think he’ll let us go? If he doesn’t die, we’ll die. Father, Mother, think about it.”
