“So, Mr. Tang did not set up a mourning hall?” Fang Tianshi’s expression darkened. “Do you realize that without a mourning hall, your eldest daughter has no home? She will remain a wandering ghost and will never be able to enter reincarnation. Unable to reincarnate, she will naturally resent you. This matter is likely related to your eldest daughter.”
“Is that so?” Tang Lusheng’s face changed. “Then what should I do?”
“Give me your eldest daughter’s birth date and time. I will calculate and see whether she is nearby. And if it is truly her, Mr. Tang, you must speak kindly and persuade her to forgive you.”
“And if she refuses to forgive me?” Tang Lusheng asked.
“Then I will have no choice but to take her away. I hope Mr. Tang does not mind.”
“I don’t mind. Not at all,” Tang Lusheng replied quickly. He would not even mind if she were destroyed completely, but he still added, “If she has changed, Master Fang, please do not harm her.”
“Naturally. As long as she has not harmed any lives, I will not make her soul scatter.”
Tang Lusheng hurriedly recited Tang Guo’s birth date and time, along with her name.
When Fang Yunchi heard the name Tang Guo, he could not help but ask, “Tang Guo?”
“Yes, my eldest daughter is named Tang Guo. Little Master, is there a problem?”
Fang Tianshi also glanced at Fang Yunchi.
“Master, I mentioned before that in that mountain village, I encountered a particularly powerful female ghost. Her name was also Tang Guo. But surely there cannot be such a coincidence in this world.”
Tang Guo watched Fang Tianshi calculating and smiled faintly. If she were only the original Tang Guo, Fang Tianshi would indeed be able to determine her location.
But she was not only Tang Guo of this world. She was another Tang Guo as well. Unless she allowed it, Fang Tianshi would never be able to detect her existence.
“What do you plan to do?” Qin Jiu asked.
“I won’t spare Fang Tianshi,” Tang Guo replied with a smile. “Of course I want his life.”
Qin Jiu showed no particular reaction. “Then be careful. I’ll hold off Fang Yunchi.”
“As for Fang Yunchi, that little minion, I don’t care about him. I could flick my sleeve and paste him onto a wall.”
Qin Jiu was amused by her proud tone. “Still, be cautious. Demon catching Daoists have a long heritage. They have all kinds of methods. Even those from the same sect differ in their techniques. Especially Fang Tianshi. He never shows mercy to ghosts.”
“Daoist Qin, are you worried about me?” Tang Guo blinked, meeting his gaze.
Qin Jiu looked slightly uncomfortable but still answered, “If you think so, then yes.”
“If you’re worried about me, you can just say it directly. No need to be shy. I won’t laugh at you. Knowing you care about me makes me very happy.”
Qin Jiu’s ears reddened again. This female ghost was never serious. She always slipped into ambiguous words without warning. Yet for some reason, he felt inexplicably pleased.
“How do you intend to do it?” Qin Jiu quickly changed the topic.
Tang Guo narrowed her eyes. “Doesn’t Fang Tianshi like catching ghosts? Then let him become one.”
“Daoist Qin, just wait here. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
Without waiting for his reply, Tang Guo drifted toward the villa, deliberately releasing a trace of her aura for Fang Tianshi to sense.
Fang Tianshi indeed sensed her presence and instinctively shouted, “Tang Guo, where do you think you’re going!”
