The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 67 "...I...see..." "...I can't see..."

The master and apprentice fell into a long silence, until the old man finally turned around and broke the silence.

"Alright, let's not waste time on this."

"Tell me, just how big of a mess did you get into in Fengtian City?"

Lu Yuan then recounted in detail his encounter with the Wang family, the family that had brought him to the brink of death, and how he was unable to cope on his own and ultimately had to ask Gu Qingwan for help.

Of course, this also includes the shocking scene of that super-fierce creature having its head smashed by Gu Qingwan with a single, nonchalant slap.

After listening, the old man pinched his chin, and a strange light shone in his cloudy eyes.

"Tsk tsk..."

"So, when she came back that day, she wasn't surrounded by some kind of ethereal aura..."

The old man suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Is it good karma?!"

ha?

Lu Yuan stared at the old man in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.

The old man, however, seemed to have discovered a new continent. Intrigued, he took a large gulp of wine and said with gleaming eyes:

"Just think about it, if it weren't for her intervention, how many people in Fengtian City would have died if that level of ferocity had gone out of control?"

"A mere leak of that thing's malevolent energy would cause a far greater damage than the collapse of those dozen or so temporary malevolent energy-nurturing sites!"

Listening to the old man's analysis, Lu Yuan blinked.

It seems... that makes sense?

Hi!

What are you thinking about for no reason?

Why not just call the person involved out and ask them directly?

Lu Yuan turned around and raised his hand to knock on the coffin behind him, but before his hand could fall, the old man stopped him.

"Stop yelling."

"Today is the full moon, the soul returns to its body, and the yin energy is at its peak, making it the best time to wash away the evil curse."

"I just cast a spell on her, and she's 'asleep' right now. Even the most important things can wait until tomorrow."

After saying that, the old man stood up unsteadily, patted the dirt off his bottom, and stretched as he walked towards the door.

"Perfect timing, you're back. You'll stay with her tonight."

The old man had his back to Lu Yuan, one hand laboriously pounding his lower back, groaning under his breath.

"Oh dear, these old bones of mine..."

With a creak, the old man pushed open the door and left, leaving only Lu Yuan and a coffin in the side hall.

To be honest, Lu Yuan has been quite tired these past few days.

That morning, after agreeing on a suitable place to raise the demons with Shen Shulan, Lu Yuan went straight to sleep at Aunt Qiao'er's house.

I woke up in the late afternoon of the second day.

Xu Erxiao, Wang Chengan, and I went out for a stroll in Fengtian City to buy some New Year's goods.

Early on the third day, the three of them headed back.

Now we've finally returned to Zhenlong Temple.

After a day of being chilled by the cold wind outside, the warmth inside the hall brought a wave of drowsiness.

He put the two cushions together and went straight to sleep.

When Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan return tomorrow, they'll have to go back to those desolate wilderness places to suffer again. They need to take a good rest now.

As for the matter of vying for the Heavenly Venerable title for the old man...

Lu Yuan closed his eyes, but his mind was very clear.

This year, the Celestial Master Ceremony and the Luotian Grand Ritual were held together.

However, it's different from previous years, when the Heavenly Venerable Ceremony was held first.

The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was held at the very end.

In this way, the seven newly elected Heavenly Venerables will be able to preside over the Luo Tian Grand Ritual that year.

This can be considered as making an appearance in front of the entire Guanwai Daomen.

However, this year, the Luotian Grand Ceremony is in the beginning, and the Tianzun Grand Ceremony is at the end.

It seems that Shen Shulan's father, Shen Jizhou, was behind it all.

By holding the Heavenly Venerable Ceremony after the Luotian Grand Ritual, we can have almost an extra month.

Let Shen Shulan destroy more of the cursed lands of the King of Destiny and accumulate more prestige.

This is also a good thing for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan now has nearly two months, enough time to completely eradicate all the evil spirit breeding grounds in Fengtian City!

Hi~

She benefited from Shen Shulan's fame again.

As for this Heavenly Venerable Ceremony, whether we can use it to make the old man a Heavenly Venerable...

Ok……

Will this matter be manipulated behind the scenes? Lu Yuan has the support of the people, but not the support of the Taoist sect.

that……

We might as well not have such a celestial being.

wrong!

If that's the case, Lu Yuan will ask his two beautiful aunts for help!

Can these two be of any help?

They were so helpful!

One is Aunt Qiao'er, who is the president of the Bailu Chamber of Commerce, the number one chamber of commerce outside the Great Wall.

The other one is Aunt Qin, whose younger brother is the head of the Fengtian City Security Corps!

With these two people helping him, Lu Yuan couldn't say for sure that he would get it, but he definitely had a chance!

Even if the process is filled with darkness, it can still tear open a path to hope.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan wouldn't have blurted it out so easily!

The prerequisite for human determination to overcome nature is that you must first do your best in everything you can do.

It's not about lying down and expecting to win against fate!

Alright, let's stop arguing about this!

sleep!

……

early morning.

Consciousness slowly rose from the slumbering depths of the sea.

Lu Yuan felt cool fingertips gently poking his cheek.

He opened his eyes.

The candles and oil lamps inside the hall had burned out, leaving only tiny flames flickering in the dim light.

Outside the window, the sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn, and the faint light filtering through the windowpanes cast a hazy, yellowish glow over everything inside the hall.

A scarlet figure was sitting quietly beside him in an adorable duck-sitting posture.

It's Gu Qingwan.

She just tilted her head and stared at herself without moving.

Lu Yuan instantly snapped awake and sat up abruptly.

He looked around, but the old man hadn't returned.

Having regained consciousness, Lu Yuan asked with a mixture of excitement and curiosity:

"I heard from the old man that you accumulated merit after you came back that day?"

Gu Qingwan tilted her exquisite, cold, and expressionless face, but didn't say a word.

Lu Yuan had seen this gesture many times, which meant—she didn't know.

Lu Yuan leaned closer and continued to ask:

"When you came back that day, did you notice anything different about yourself?"

Gu Qingwan shook her head again, expressionless.

Uh……

That day was so boring.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan thought of something, and while rummaging through his satchel, he said with a happy expression:

"The curse on your head has been mostly lifted!"

"At this rate, they'll all be gone by Chinese New Year!"

"Then I can help you remove the evil curse and even change your clothes~"

Lu Yuan found this red wedding dress utterly displeasing and unpleasant, and it made him angry.

This wedding dress is not for celebration.

It is a curse, a confinement, a malice, a disgusting insult.

Just like when the Qing dynasty invaded the pass, they forced the Han people to shave their heads and change their clothes, making them wear extremely ugly clothes and shave their heads into disgusting wild boar tails!

"Look, this is a catalog I brought back from Fengtian City. It's full of the most fashionable and beautiful clothes~"

Lu Yuan excitedly handed her a picture book, his eyes sparkling with a smile.

As he spoke, he pulled another book out of his satchel.

"These are Western-style dresses, I heard they're a style that came from overseas. You're so pretty, you look good in anything!"

"Take a look, see which one you like. I'll buy it for you during the New Year and have someone bring it back so your father can burn it for you to wear!"

Lu Yuan, you're a traitor!

You said Qingyao's clothes were ugly and wouldn't let her wear them, but now you're making Gu Qingwan wear Western-style clothes, huh?

Foreign things look good, right?

wrong!

The heinous crime of the Qing dynasty was that they not only forced you to shave your head and change your clothes, but they made shaving your head and changing your clothes the only option for you!

It leaves you with absolutely no choice.

Imprison your body!

Imprison your mind!

But people are free.

Gu Qingwan is the same.

However, Gu Qingwan simply sat there quietly, without any reaction.

The picture book was right in front of her, but she didn't move at all.

"..."

"...I...see..."

"……not see……"

The ethereal yet fragmented sound, like dandelion seeds drifting in the wind, gently rises.

Ok?

Lu Yuan's smile froze instantly.

Can't see it?

How is that possible...?

Suddenly, Lu Yuan understood.

Gu Qingwan previously relied on something similar to a Taoist's spiritual perception.

It can perceive everything around it, but cannot see it.

For a moment, Lu Yuan's hand holding the picture book stiffened, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress his surging emotions, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"No...it's okay, I'll buy them all for you!"

"The day your eyes recover, you'll be able to see and wear them immediately!"

Gu Qingwan remained silent for a long, long time.

The only sound in the entire side hall was the faint crackling of the burning candlelight.

"……I think"

"see……"

"you……"
