Chapter 19 Hexagram
Speaking of this, Sikong Yan couldn't help but recall the kind female ghost he had met at the Ghost Market.

That day, after returning from the ghost market, he took the ginseng to see his father.

His father was very surprised when he heard what he had seen and heard. He picked up the ginseng and looked at it repeatedly. Finally, he determined that it was a 500-year-old ginseng, which was just right for his mother to nourish her body.

So, Dad quickly cut off some roots and gave them to Mom to eat.

Just the roots alone, and in no time, my mother's condition improved.

After that, Mom's health improved every day.

He still remembers that after seeing his mother get better, his father patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yan, you really met a benefactor that day. He not only told you about that director, but also lent you money to buy ginseng. We will never forget this kindness."

"Yes, Dad, I know." Sikong Yan knew that the female ghost, though seemingly aloof, was actually a kind and good ghost.

"You should prepare well for the matter of inviting the gods. Although our Sikong family has fallen into decline, who says that the gods only favor large families? The gods have always favored those who are destined for them."

What Sikong Yan's father didn't mention was that when Sikong Yan was born, his father, who was also Sikong Yan's grandfather at the time, cast a divination for him.

The divination indicated that Sikong Yan's fortunes were mediocre for the first ten years or so, and could even be described as somewhat unlucky.

But after meeting a benefactor, he will soar to great heights and become the one who leads the entire Sikong family to prosperity.

Because of this divination, Sikong Yan's grandfather passed away with a smile on his face.

Now, Sikong Hao believes that the female ghost his son encountered in the ghost market is his benefactor, and it's even uncertain whether she is a ghost at all.

That foolish son of his still thinks she's a female ghost.

Combining the name of the director mentioned by his son with the name of the female ghost, Sikong Hao had a vague guess in his mind.

However, the final result still needs to be verified.

Sikong Hao did not intend to tell his son about his suspicions.

This silly son, he has his own destiny.
-
"It hurts, it hurts so much, sister, please save me."

"Sister, I want that bitch dead, I want..."

"Lin'er, shut up, watch your words. Do you know who you're talking about?"

"Waaah, sister, but it hurts so much. I have nothing left. Please let me die."

……

Inside the room, Bai Lilin's wails and venomous curses continued to echo. After an unknown amount of time, the sounds gradually subsided, and then a woman in a light blue dress walked out of Bai Lilin's room.

She looked up and saw her father, Bailitang, standing outside.

Baili Tang stood there with his hands behind his back, without turning around, and asked, "How is Lin'er?"

"I just gave her painkillers and cast a sleeping spell on her, and she's temporarily asleep. But Dad, this can't go on. Lin'er is crying out in pain every moment, and..."

When Baili Shuang recalled Lin'er's current appearance, it could truly be described as unrecognizable.

She couldn't imagine what her mindset would be if she became like that.

"She's in pain because part of the Heavenly Punishment Lightning still remains in her body. Only a god could remove it; otherwise, I have no way to do it."

Baili Shuang fell silent. After a long while, she looked up at her father's tall back with a complicated expression. "Dad, the family still has you. Are you going to abandon Lin'er?"

Although it was a question, Baili Shuang used a tone of affirmation.

Upon hearing this, Baili Shuang's father sighed deeply, then turned around and looked at her with a profound gaze. "Shuang'er, Lin'er is my own daughter. It pains me as her father to see her like this. If it were anyone else, I would do anything to get justice for Lin'er, but..."

Bailitang paused for a moment, then said, "This time, Lin'er offended that Director."

"Do you know about the ritual our family is currently preparing to invoke the gods? It's to invite this god of the underworld."

"Do you know how big the difference is between whether or not this god of the underworld chooses to descend upon our Baili family?"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that our Baili family is currently the strongest among the three great families of metaphysics. How many families are thinking of replacing our Baili family's position? Not to mention the distant ones, just look at the Nalan family and the Tantai family. They have been eyeing us covetously and are making preparations for this divine summoning."

Baili Tang's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Shuang'er, it's not that I don't love Lin'er, but I am not only your and Lin'er's father, I am also the patriarch of the Baili family, and I bear the responsibility for the prosperity of this family. This time, Lin'er has offended that director, and I'm afraid she will hold a grudge against our Baili family and will not come to our family again."

"Shuang'er, you are the most talented in metaphysics among your generation. After your father, the hope and responsibility of the family also fall on your shoulders."

"When we shoulder responsibilities, we must also give up something."

Then Bailitang said with deep emotion, "For a hundred years, no god of the underworld has descended upon this world."

Baili Shuang's eyes were already red, and she said, "Father, Shuang'er understands."

"Go ahead and prepare well for this invocation ceremony. Also, go to the Sikong family's place. As for the boys who are with Lin'er, wasn't it said that on the day of the Ghost Market, it was the Sikong family's boys who were with that Director Si? Go and ask them what happened. As for Lin'er, if you have time, give her some advice."

"Yes."

After Baili Shuang left, Baili Tang remained standing there. He didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the room where Baili Lin was. His eyes gradually turned cold and indifferent. Then, he flicked his sleeve, turned around, and left without hesitation.
-
"What?! You're saying the person I was with at the Ghost Market that day was the director of the Leave Department of Fengdu?!" Sikong Yan exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, the person standing in front of Sikong Yan was none other than Baili Shuang, the once-in-a-millennium genius of the Baili family.

Sikong Yan never expected that Baili Shuang, the genius direct descendant of the prestigious Baili family, would come to their small Sikong family. He was even more surprised that she would say that the young lady he was with at the Ghost Market that day was the Director Si they had been searching for.

"No, that's impossible, the young lady is a ghost."

"How did you determine that she was a female ghost? Did she tell you herself?"

Sikong Yan: ...It seems there really isn't one; it's just that she prejudicially assumed the young lady was a female ghost.

But is this young lady really the director of the Leave Request Department in Fengdu?
Judging from the young lady's demeanor, she does resemble her.

As Sikong Yan recalled the scene from that day, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Baili Shuang said might be true.

Otherwise, how would the young lady know the name of that Director?

Furthermore, the young lady also mentioned that her surname is Xu, the same as that of the director.

"Yes, how come I didn't connect the dots? Maybe this young lady really is that Director!"

Sikong Yan was utterly astonished and shocked by this discovery.

He really didn't expect it.

Baili Shuang then inquired about Xu Qingling from Sikong Yan.
