Later, Ning Xiangsi and Fang Yunchi divorced.
At first, Fang Yunchi refused.
But in the end, Ning Xiangsi simply took Fang Siyun and left their home.
She bought a new villa with an extremely advanced security system.
When he called her, she told him clearly that if he would not agree to divorce, she would never see him again.
Ning Xiangsi also said to him, “Think carefully, Fang Yunchi. Your sins have already fallen upon your daughter. Fang Yunchi, I’m begging you. Let’s divorce. I can’t bear the risk of something happening to Sisi. We won’t always be this lucky. Tang Guo won’t always appear and give our daughter a life-saving bead.”
Fang Yunchi still refused at first.
But one day, after school, Fang Siyun was suddenly struck by a speeding car and thrown into the air.
If not for the bead she wore, her life might truly have been in danger.
He saw that another crack had appeared on the bead.
Clutching it tightly, Ning Xiangsi cried and said to him, “Do you see now? We don’t know how much longer this bead can hold. Fang Yunchi, are you trying to get our daughter killed?”
This time, Fang Yunchi could no longer dismiss it.
For the first time, he began to doubt whether everything he had done was truly right.
During the days he hesitated, Fang Siyun encountered various minor accidents. Although no new cracks appeared in the bead, those incidents caused her constant trouble.
Looking at the wounds on Fang Siyun’s arm, he finally gave in and agreed to divorce.
After the divorce, Fang Siyun stopped having accidents.
When Fang Yunchi realized this, he stood there in a daze.
He looked at the small ghost beneath his sword and gritted his teeth, still intending to strike.
“Yunchi, stop.”
A familiar voice rang out.
Fang Yunchi froze. He looked up at the figure drifting toward him and stared in disbelief. “Mas… Master.”
“Master, is that really you?” Fang Yunchi said in shock. Then his expression changed. “Master… you’re a ghost?”
Fang Tianshi looked at him in pain. “I am a ghost. What, are you going to kill me?”
“No, Master, how could I kill you? I would never kill you.” No matter how much he despised ghosts, he would never harm his own master.
“Yunchi, you see that I am a ghost, yet you will not kill me. Then why must you exterminate every other ghost?”
Fang Yunchi dropped his sword. “Because they harm people. Master would never harm anyone.”
Fang Tianshi’s expression was full of sorrow. “Yunchi, put down your sword. Stop being a ghost-catching Daoist. All of this is my fault. I led you down a path of no return.”
Fang Yunchi shook his head. “No, Master. There are still many ghosts in this world that need to be caught.”
“Yunchi!”
Fang Tianshi shouted and changed his appearance.
Fang Yunchi’s eyes widened. “That… that’s the ghost I’ve tried to kill countless times but never could.”
Fang Tianshi then returned to his original appearance and explained everything to him.
“Do you know that over the past decade, I have escaped from your sword several times each year?”
“Master, I… It’s all that female ghost’s fault. Otherwise I would never have failed to recognize you.”
Fang Tianshi did not know what to say. “You were the one who failed to distinguish right from wrong. Many ghost friends of mine had done nothing at all, yet you cut them down with one strike.”
Fang Yunchi stepped back, his expression crumbling.
“No!”
He turned and ran, as if he had lost his mind.
