Chi Shuyan didn’t care whether this woman surnamed Zhou was enthusiastic or not. She said coldly, “Miss Zhou, as I said before, if you want to solve this matter, you still have to ask yourself: How did you run into evil? If you don’t tell the truth, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do anything. You can only look for someone else!”

Zhou Manqing’s expression changed and her hands trembled slightly.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes were fixed on the trembling hands of the woman in front of her. She seemed to be deep in thought. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and said, “Miss Zhou, I believe you should have some idea as to how you ran into this evil. Even if you don’t, why don’t you answer a personal question of mine first?”

Zhou Manqing bit her lip and said after a while, “Speak!”

“Miss Zhou, have you taken a human life before?” Chi Shuyan’s casual question caused Zhou Manqing’s expression to change drastically. Her pupils contracted. Zhou Manqing wanted to drink from a cup of water, but just as she picked up the cup with trembling hands, it accidentally fell out of her hands and smashed onto the floor.

“Manqing!” Yu Rong and Assistant Gao jumped in shock. Without waiting for Zhou Manqing to speak, Yu Rong, who had been Zhou Manqing’s manager for almost six to seven years, couldn’t help but defend her subconsciously. “Master Chi, you must have seen wrong. How can Manqing have taken a human life? Usually, Manqing does a lot of charity work and can’t even bear to kill a few ants. How could she possibly have killed someone?”

Beside her, Assistant Gao also spoke up for Zhou Manqing. He also didn’t think that Sister Zhou could kill anyone!

Chi Shuyan’s expression didn’t change as she continued to stare at Zhou Manqing, and she asked, “Miss Zhou, why don’t you say something?”

After a while, Zhou Manqing said slowly, “I didn’t kill anyone!”

Chi Shuyan’s lips curved up, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes. “Miss Zhou, if I’m not wrong, you are indeed haunted, and it is by a very cruel and difficult malicious ghost!”

Yu Rong and Assistant Gao were already mentally prepared, but when they heard Master Chi say “malicious ghost,” they were still shocked.

Chi Shuyan glanced at Zhou Manqing, whose lips were trembling in fear, and continued, “Generally speaking, there are two scenarios in which you would be haunted by a malicious ghost: One, you went to some place you shouldn’t have and happened to become entangled with a malicious ghost. Two, you had an extraordinary relationship with this malicious ghost. Before death, the person knew you and became entangled with you. Those who can become malicious ghosts are usually especially resentful before they die. The scariest is if they bore a grudge against you when they were alive. Unless you can really find a Celestial Master to get rid of the malicious ghost, it will never rest until you’re dead!”

Chi Shuyan paused for a moment. She stared at the trembling and bulging veins on the other party’s hands, and said meaningfully, “Of course, a Celestial Master can’t indiscriminately get rid of all kinds of evil spirits without distinguishing right from wrong. What if it had been wronged before? Miss Zhou, why don’t you tell me which kind of malicious ghost it is? I also advise you to tell the truth. If anything goes wrong, I’m not the only one who will be in trouble!”

For some reason, Zhou Manqing was reminded of the tragic image of the Daoist priest’s hollowed-out stomach. If she had been outside, would she have been the one to die?

She had a faint guess. No, no. She didn’t want to die. She didn’t want to die, and she couldn’t die. She was living so well. She had everything. How could she bear to die?

Zhou Manqing’s face turned pale. She suddenly grabbed Chi Shuyan’s hand and pleaded agitatedly, “Master Chi, I’ll say it. I did have some conflict with that malicious ghost when she was alive, but I really didn’t kill her. I also didn’t treat her unjustly at all. I know that she envied me. She’s always envied me. Whether before or after she died, she’s always been envious of me. Master Chi, can you help me destroy that malicious ghost? I’m begging you, no matter how much it costs! No matter how much it costs!”

When she said the last sentence, Zhou Manqing cried bitterly, her face full of pain.
