Fate Trading System – Chapter 70

Gift of the Spring Breeze 4

Life Situation

“Yu’er, are you going to leave?”

Ling Zhi no longer looked at Su Xin, but turned her head to look at the female ghost beside her.

Yu’er is the little female ghost that Su Xin was chasing.

“Yes! My resentment has already dissipated, and now only obsession remains. I want to return to see my father and mother, and after seeing them one last time, I will go to reincarnate.”

The little female ghost looked joyful and even made a ghostly face at Su Xin.

A true ghostly face.

Her features were twisted, her tongue hanging out, blood flowing from her seven orifices. In short, it was as terrifying and disgusting as possible.

Su Xin twitched the corner of her mouth and calmly ignored it.

“Hey, you can’t leave yet. You should first tell me what you know.”

Su Xin walked in and stood beside the little female ghost.

Yu’er quickly hid behind Ling Zhi, grabbing Ling Zhi’s red clothes.

“This has nothing to do with you, so why do you need to know these things? Can’t you let that person investigate by themselves? Besides, humans and demons walk different paths, so why help that person?”

The little female ghost wasn’t very old, but she spoke clearly and logically.

Yu’er was unwilling to speak, which must mean there are hidden circumstances.

She’s already a ghost; what could she possibly not say, unless the murderer is related to her.

Su Xin and the red-clothed female ghost standing there quietly looking at her exchanged stares; this ghost appeared unfathomable. If it came to a fight, she wouldn’t be able to win, but just now, this female ghost exposed the most important thing to her. It seems she can’t leave here, but she can borrow her strength.

Ling Zhi knew what Su Xin intended to do and showed a smile, her red lips curving in a frivolous smile, with the red lines on her face revealing a strange aura.

Master Fourteen, give me her information.

【Searching, already conveyed.】

The mechanical voice of Fourteen rang in Su Xin’s mind.

The next moment, Ling Zhi’s life appeared before Su Xin.

This is not an ordinary ghost; she died many years ago.

In life, Ling Zhi was a medicine person¹, a walking killing machine. After her death, her resentment was too heavy. Clearly, she was a god of death, yet she had a peaceful heart.

When she was brought to the underworld by Black and White Impermanence, the entire underworld was thrown into chaos.

Her power could influence ghosts, causing those ghosts to riot.

The six paths of reincarnation do not accept her, and her name is not in the Book of Life and Death, which is truly strange.

Yama did not dare to underestimate this matter and quickly reported it to the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court sent people to investigate, but they couldn’t find anything.

As a ghost beyond the three realms, she killed as a human in life and kills as a ghost in death. Even celestial beings cannot approach her, and placing her in a magic tool does not destroy her.

Fortunately, her killing intent gradually extinguished, and the celestial being trapped her in this temple. For several hundred years, there have indeed been no incidents.

Su Xin finished reviewing her information and didn’t find anything significant, only knowing that this ghost is very powerful, very extraordinary, and most importantly, unbeatable.

Ling Zhi felt this demon was really a bit dumb, suddenly staring at her face in a daze, yet not actually looking at her, but rather at a certain point in her direction, dazed.

“You saw it too, little demon, how about we make a deal?”

Ling Zhi was still holding her lantern, with the candle flame swaying.

Su Xin directed her gaze to Ling Zhi’s lantern, which had the same strange patterns as those on Ling Zhi’s face. She couldn’t understand what they were, but they were quite pretty.

“I’ll take you out, will you let her tell me that information?”

Su Xin pointed to Yu’er beside her.

“Correct.”

Ling Zhi nodded, looking at the pitch-black night outside with longing; she wanted to go out.

A gust of wind entered the temple, lifting the corner of Ling Zhi’s clothes. Su Xin blinked, and Ling Zhi was then standing in front of her, eye to eye.

“Okay.”

Su Xin nodded.

“Then let her speak first, and I’ll take you out.”

“No, what if you deceive us?”

Ling Zhi shook her head.

“I won’t, I definitely won’t deceive you.”

Su Xin said somewhat anxiously, having been out for a while, not knowing how things were going with Qin Yi. She originally went in invisible, so Qin Yi couldn’t see her. What if Qin Yi has already returned to the inn and still hasn’t seen her?

“How about you take me out first, and I let Yu’er accompany me? When you want to return to your place, I’ll then have Yu’er tell you. How does that sound?”

“Okay.”

Su Xin nodded without thinking.

Ling Zhi thought that this little demon really has no sense of defense at all.

The lantern in Ling Zhi’s hand turned into an umbrella, with a white surface and red patterns on top, very special.

“Holding this umbrella, you can take me out.”

Su Xin held the umbrella in her hand and wanted to grab Yu’er’s hand to teleport, but Yu’er slapped it away, showing a very resistant attitude.

With no way to leave Yu’er behind to teleport, Su Xin could only slow down and drift back with Yu’er.

People naturally cannot see ghosts, and with Su Xin using invisibility, she wouldn’t be seen by anyone.

Qin Yi, already accustomed to Su Xin’s sudden appearances, calmly watched Su Xin while drinking tea.

“Did you discover anything?”

“Yes, a major discovery, so I chased after it. I saw a female ghost at the prefect’s residence; she knows some things.”

Su Xin nodded, looking as if seeking praise.

“There is no ghost of the prefect in the prefect’s residence, likely because he has reincarnated.”

Su Xin spread her hands, indicating she was powerless in this matter.

“He reincarnated, which indicates there is no resentment.”

No resentment.

Qin Yi repeated these words, pondering something.

“Why did you bring back an umbrella?”

Qin Yi gestured with his chin towards the umbrella.

“It’s like this, I went to chase the ghost in the prefect’s residence, and then…”

Su Xin explained the entire cause and effect clearly to Qin Yi.

“You just agreed like that?”

Qin Yi stared wide-eyed, thinking this foolish child, what if you get deceived? Ghosts were humans before they died, and as long as they are human, they can deceive people.

Qin Yi looked at Su Xin as if looking at his own foolish child.

“She shouldn’t deceive me; that ghost is still here now.”

Su Xin pointed to Yu’er, who was shrinking in the corner.

“Hey, little ghost girl, why are you hiding so far away? Are you scared?”

Su Xin teased.

Yu’er glared at Su Xin, not looking very happy.

Qin Yi’s body has too much yang energy, which is like a scorching sun for Yu’er; approaching it would cause her injury.

Yu’er is still a weak little ghost, and she feels scared when encountering ordinary men with strong yang energy, let alone someone like Qin Yi.

Qin Yi looked in the direction Su Xin pointed, but naturally, he couldn’t see anything.

This means that there are currently two ghosts in the room.

Su Xin’s umbrella moved by itself, floating in mid-air.

The umbrella automatically opened in the air, with Ling Zhi holding it and looking at Su Xin.

She was not repelled.

It seems this demon is indeed special.

As the most powerful presence among ghosts, Ling Zhi’s appearance was naturally not difficult. Her gaze stopped in front of Qin Yi, then moved away uninterested after just a moment.

Qin Yi felt his good fortune wasn’t shallow, as at least the two women in front of him were both enchantingly beautiful, each with their own characteristics. However, one is a demon and the other a ghost, and he cannot afford to provoke them.

“I keep my word, since you brought me out, let Yu’er tell you what she saw.”

Ling Zhi looked at Yu’er in the corner, and Yu’er reluctantly appeared.

“Please walk a bit towards the corner, the farther away from her, the better. Your body’s yang energy will harm her.”

Ling Zhi said to Qin Yi, in a polite tone.

Qin Yi saw the little ghost girl in the corner and cooperatively walked to the opposite corner.

The following facts were somewhat surprising to hear, and Yu’er spoke with a smile.

“That bastard should have died long ago. However, quite a few people wanted to kill him. I don’t know exactly how he died, but I know he was poisoned by someone. After being poisoned, he was then stabbed by someone. He has a remarkably strong life force, as even then he didn’t die completely and was barely alive. After a while, he was about to die, and someone, unwilling to let him live, threw his body into a well. Don’t you think he made people hate him?”

Yu’er clapped her hands with joy, but when Qin Yi asked her to specify, Yu’er showed obvious hesitation.

“I cannot tell you who the person that poisoned him is, but the person who wanted to kill him was masked, and the person who threw him into the well was the steward of the residence.”

Yu’er revealed everything, except for the person she wanted to keep hidden.

Steward?

Isn’t it said that the steward is His Majesty’s spy? The steward threw the prefect into the well, but the residence outwardly claimed it was a death by illness, and the steward told His Majesty he was killed in the well.

What is this trying to achieve?

Currently, several questions are waiting to be resolved.

Is the person who threw the prefect into the well the real steward, and is he the real spy? If he is, then he can be initially determined to have already betrayed. If not, then whose person is he?

“I’ve said everything I know, Sister Ling Zhi. I’m leaving; I want to see my parents. Goodbye.”

Yu’er disappeared quickly, anxiously rushing to reincarnate.

“Why does she hate the prefect so much?”

Qin Yi looked at Ling Zhi, his intuition telling him that the woman in front of him knew something.

When Yu’er spoke of the prefect, it was with a very hateful tone, sounding like there was a deep enmity.

“Because Yu’er was abused to death by that beast.”

Ling Zhi’s gaze was very cold. She had planned to hand the prefect over to Yu’er for punishment after he died and before the black and white impermanence arrived, but she didn’t expect that he had no resentment and immediately followed the black and white impermanence, leaving her without an opportunity to act.

Qin Yi realized that not all the rumors were false. The prefect was indeed devoted and did not frequent brothels, but that devotion was superficial. He had a special perverted hobby of abusing children.

At twelve years old, Yu’er fell into his hands. Still a child, she was forced to lose her virginity and was abused and r*ped for seven months, eventually dying from a high fever.

After death, she couldn’t let go, harboring strong resentment and eager to kill the prefect immediately. However, the prefect’s yang energy prevented her from getting close, so she just caused trouble.

As a result, the prefect actually invited a Taoist priest to come. Fortunately, that Taoist priest was just an amateur, and Yu’er, scared, escaped to the Chenghuang Temple, where she met Ling Zhi.

During the daytime, Yu’er rested at the Chenghuang Temple with everyone else, and when night came, she would run to the prefect’s residence, constantly watching him.

So, on the day the prefect died, she witnessed the whole process.
