Lu Ming tried to 

smile

. “I’m okay.

” Then, he remembered what I said. “M

y ancestor is in trouble?” 

I nodded. 

“I 

knew

 he 

was being plotted against

!” As soon as Lu Ming 

knew

 that Lu Yu 

was

 in danger, he was stirred up

. It was 

as if he had just 

received

 an energy boost. He pulled me

 and rushed 

toward the village. 

Along

 the way there, Lu Ming told me that he heard the old man cal

l

 him while 

he was 

sleeping. He saw 

the man wave 

at him. Instinctively, he walked toward him. When he came 

near

, he recognized it was 

Mr. Big Mole

. But 

b

efore he could run, his surroundings changed. 

Lu Ming knew he couldn’t escape

, so h

e turned and 

looked

 at 

Mr. Big Mole, 

ready to risk his life if 

necessary

. Unexpectedly, 

Mr. Big Mole

 didn’t want to fight him. He turned

and 

left

. Be

fore he left he said, 

“I’m going to 

deal with

 that old man first. Then, it’

ll be

 your turn…” 

Lu Ming knew things had gone wrong at that time. Afterward, he asked me, “Are you sure you can deal with the thirty-six female ghosts?” 

“What do you mean? Those female ghosts want to kill Lu Yu?” I halted

 and frowned. 

L

u Ming

 nodded. “

Since

 we are both fine and not in danger, only those thirty-six women could make my ancestor come out of the teapot.” 

Even though the women had a deep love for Lu Yu, they had died with resentment. After one thousand years, their resentful energ

ies

 had grown extremely powerful. If 

Mr. Big Mole

 wanted to pour oil into the fire by telling the women that Lu Yu wasn’t dead 

at

 that time, the women’s wrath 

w

ould

 skyrocket

!

Lu Yu wouldn’t be afraid of them. However, 

because of

 his guilty conscience, 

he could

 let them hurt him without fighting back… 

I carefully considered the possibility

 and thought 

that even if I could deal with the thirty-six ghosts, Lu Yu wouldn’t allow me to hurt them. The only solution now was to find 

Mr. Big Mole

 before the women could take action. It was the only chance to awaken 

their

 love for Lu Yu. 

“What do you have in mind?” Lu Ming sounded worried 

as

 I had kept silent. 

I told him my idea. Then, I said, “Do you know where 

Mr. Big Mole

 is?” 

“I thought that he lived in the village, but now…”

Lu Ming shook his head

. H

is face looked haggard. “Is there 

a

 different solution you 

can

 think of?” 

“Let’s go to the scene to see

,

” I said helplessly

. 

I had no hope now. 

If Lu Yu 

wasn’t

 cruel to the girls, then no matter how hard I tried, it would be like 

talking to a

 person

who didn’t want to live anymore

.

When we reached the village, we saw wisps of purple Yin energy 

roll

 into a vortex. Lu Yu 

held

 a cane in his hand

. He stood 

in the center of the vortex. 

The female ghosts 

surrounded

 him. They were tearing his body. Lu Yu didn’t resist. He sighed

. T

ears roll

ed down 

his face. 

The situation was exactly 

as I

 had imagined! 

“Damn it! I’m going to risk my life!” When Lu Ming saw 

the scene

, he seemed to have 

turned

berserk

 instantly

. His 

eyes 

turned

 red. Then, he roared

 and dashed forward.  

His voice was really loud

, so all the

 female ghosts turned around. I felt like there was a drum being hit inside my head. Luckily for us, the female ghosts kept their focus on Lu Yu. They just took a glance 

at us and then

 resumed their attacks 

on him

.  

I pulled Lu Ming

 and restrained 

him

. Then, I slapped 

him. 

“Can you behave? I’m not an immortal. I can’t save you from the claws of those thousand-year-old female ghosts!” I clenched my jaw. 

After yelling at him, my nose felt a little sore. I’d been 

working on this case

 for half a month and this was going to be the ending. I felt somewhat lost. 

Lu Ming smiled at me

. His 

voice was strangely calm. “Master Zhang, I understand 

what you’re thinking

. I’m going to get in there, but 

it’s

 not because of my impulsive intention.” 

“What?” I was surprised. 

He wanted to get in there to 

make

 the female ghosts attack him.

Lu Yu could ignore his safety, but he wouldn’t neglect his descendant. 

The old man

 might attack the female ghosts to save Lu Ming, which would scare the female ghosts away. 

It wasn’t a bad idea. However, it was too risky. If Lu Yu hesitated for a second, those ghosts would tear Lu Ming apart. I considered

 it and asked 

helplessly, “Is it worth risking your life to save a man who died more than one thousand years ago?”

“He’s my ancestor!” Lu Ming replied then patted my shoulder. “Master Zhang, I

’ve

 transferred a little sum to you today. Please accept it as the payment. If I can’t escape, you should run.”

He unbuttoned his suit and vest

. Then, he dashed 

forward. 

I had tears in my eyes. I had thought that Lu Ming was a timid man. I had never thought that he 

could be

 so manly. 

As he charged

 forward, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat his 

blood

 out. 

The se

ven or eight ghosts 

closest

 to him screeched in pain. 

Since Lu Ming’s soul was already weak, tha

t

was all

 his blood could do. Still, he had provoked the female ghosts. They screamed

 and jumped 

toward him. Lu Yu didn’t move

. He acted 

as though he didn’t see anything. 

My heart 

skipped a beat

. Instinctively, I 

rushed

 in to save him. At the moment our lives were at stake, Lu Yu suddenly laughed. 

His 

laughter

 sounded even sadder than 

a man’s cry

. However, it proved that Lu Yu had made his choice. I exhaled

 and held the

 Peach Soul Flower tightly. 

A

fter Lu Yu laughed, his body emitted a dazzling silver light. This light swallowed the thirty-six ghosts’ purple Yin energy. A second later, all the ghosts stopped their attacks. They 

were

 still, just as if they were 

frozen

. 

I eased my mind

 and gave 

Lu Ming a thumbs-up. He smiled at me then kowtowed to Lu Yu three times

. He asked 

the old man to leave with him. 

Lu Yu looked at Lu Ming. Finally, he 

gave 

a kind smile. However, he didn’t move

. His 

eyes 

shifted

 from Lu Ming to the female ghosts. Lu Ming wasn’t in danger anymore, which made Lu Yu hesitant

.

It wasn’t good if we lingered like this. I looked at the spirit talisman in my hand

 and thought 

about using a talisman to subdue Lu Yu. No matter what, he was wounded and couldn’t escape. 

However, before I could move, the situation changed again. The female ghosts started to shake as if they had 

received an

 electric shock. 

I suddenly had a bad premonition. Indeed, the female 

ghosts soon regained control of 

their 

movements

. The silver halo Lu Yu had created shattered into pieces

, vanishing 

shortly after. 

Lu Yu fell 

to

 the ground. At the same time, I heard someone 

screech

. I was surprised. It was 

Mr. Big Mole

’s voice! It turned out he was hiding nearby!
