The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Qingyi didn't think this matter was that troublesome. If we really want to talk about it, everything is about first come, first served and cause and effect. The vengeful ghost had been tainted by human lives for many years and absorbed human yang energy before it became a vengeful ghost. But was it a ghost from the beginning?

Not also!

Without anyone else possessing his body to be born, he is Luo Yu. Perhaps his life will not be peaceful and smooth, and he may be exceptionally intelligent, but he is Luo Yu. No matter how intelligent or praised he is now, in the end, everything he has is stolen!
He stole everything from the real Luo Yu!
Without him, Luo Yu would not have become a vengeful ghost, and so many people would not have been injured or killed. Therefore, his poor health is what he deserves. Not only is he poor health, but he will also have a short lifespan, because this is the direct cause and effect of him seizing other people's lives and stealing their bodies. He should bear the consequences!
What's so difficult about dealing with this? It's just about setting things right. Why worry about any consequences?
The killing of living people?
They were people who deserved to die, so what's the point of talking about killing them?
The real difficulty is that even after things are set right, Luo Yu will not live long, because he has harmed people and is burdened with the karma of killing. Even if it was caused by others, he has already been tainted by it once he took action!

The vengeful ghost Luo Yu probably didn't expect to live much longer; it was just an obsession. The ghost had already become a vengeful spirit, and with that obsession, there was no way out, no way back.

Before becoming a ghost, he was originally a human being, and he should have been Luo Yu.

How can one not resent, and how can one easily let go?
If it were her, she would also feel resentment.

Qingyi glanced at the vengeful ghost, its body shrouded in black mist, its eyes deep red, filled with resentment and sorrow, and followed its gaze to Governor Luo and his wife, saying, "You're not even willing to restore order?"

The cause and effect have already been explained, so why do they still want to kill that vengeful ghost?
Governor Luo was a man with a square face and had been in officialdom for many years. He looked at Qing Yi with an air of authority and said, "What do you mean by 'correcting wrongs'? I, Luo Bo'an, only have one son. After he was born, my wife and I raised him and taught him. He is our only child and our life. There is no question of correcting wrongs."

His words intensified the vengeful spirit's resentment, and a chilling wind swept through the area.

Governor Luo's expression changed slightly.

Qingyi said, "But your son was possessed by someone else, and it was a wicked person who hired a sorcerer to steal his destiny. To put it bluntly, he was not meant to be born into your family."

"That child was born with my flesh and blood, Luo Bo'an's, isn't that right? It doesn't matter who is reincarnated!" Governor Luo said somewhat angrily, "We don't need any rectification, we just need peace and tranquility, and for our family to live in harmony. As for that one, Taoism doesn't often talk about fate. He and my wife are not destined for each other, how can we force it?"

Qingyi looked at Madam Luo: "Does Madam think so too?"

Madam Luo trembled, raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, and said, "Immortal Master, we have raised Yu'er for thirteen years and gone to great lengths. Even if this was a mistake, isn't it also the will of Heaven? If we really follow your suggestion to set things right, neither of them will live. Our Luo family only has this one son. My husband and I are about to turn fifty. We really can't bear the thought of an old man burying his young son."

This is what the Luo couple feared most, and it was also the dilemma faced by all the Taoist priests who came to help: they couldn't afford to lose a single heir.

Therefore, making the best of a bad situation was Roche's only option.

"In other words, you can only abandon me. Knowing that I am the one, you still abandon me, hahaha." The vengeful ghost, who looked no more than a teenager, chuckled sinisterly, his ghostly aura so strong that the eerie wind caused the tables and chairs in the hall to overturn.

Madam Luo screamed in fright and rushed to Governor Luo's side, trembling with fear.

Prefect Luo feigned composure and looked at Qing Yi: "I beg the immortal master to exorcise the evil!"

Qing Yi remained motionless, merely glancing at the vengeful ghost.

The eerie wind subsided slightly. "The 'evil' you speak of, sir, should actually be your son. He should have lived an upright life, but was murdered by treacherous people, his body cruelly taken, becoming a wandering ghost. Because his name is already in the Book of Life and Death, he cannot be reincarnated." Qing Yi looked at Madam Luo and said, "Madam, you carried him for ten months; he is truly connected to you by blood. Every fetal movement you feel originates from him. Even so, must you still exterminate this evil?"

The hall was silent.

Madam Luo's face turned deathly pale, streaked with tears. A look of pain crossed her face as she closed her eyes, her whole body trembling.

Governor Luo's face was full of gloom, and he was already displeased. He thought that Canglan Temple had sent such a little brat, a girl, just to fob him off.
"Can the immortal master be killed? If not, then..."

“I can,” Qingyi stood up and said, “but I don’t want to.”

Governor Luo was stunned.

"Immortal Master, I am willing to set up a longevity tablet for him and worship it day and night. If there is an afterlife, may we continue our bond as mother and son..." Madam Luo suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Qingyi laughed disdainfully: "He is already a wandering ghost. Once he is killed, what is there to talk about in the afterlife? He will just be scattered and disappear as a wisp of smoke."

Mrs. Luo froze.

"Then we're destined to grow old without anyone to rely on?" Governor Luo roared. "We're already over fifty, and we only have one son who hasn't even come of age yet..."

"Sir, shouldn't you blame the person behind the scenes? If that person hadn't used their magic to seize your body and take your life, where would we be today?" Qing Yi chuckled. "But all you've chosen is to make the best of a bad situation."

Governor Luo's face turned bright red.

Qing Yi said calmly, "I'm sorry, my skills are not yet proficient, and I am powerless to help."

"You, you're just standing by and watching someone die! Monks are supposed to be compassionate, and you Taoists always talk about fighting evil and protecting the Way. But now you're just standing by and watching evil go unpunished. What kind of logic is that? How is your action any different from that of those evil Taoists who use sorcery?" Governor Luo was so angry that he jumped up and down. Clearly, this sect had the ability to get rid of that evil spirit, yet they planned to stand by and watch. Wasn't that siding with that evil spirit?

Governor Luo didn't want to judge the strange things about birth and possession, or different souls. He only knew that the child he had given birth to was his son, Luo Bo'an's son.

"If we're talking about eliminating evil and upholding justice, I should be dealing with the person behind your young master's possession of his destiny. Such evil people should be eliminated by the righteous path. You've reminded me of that." Qing Yi's lips curled into a cruel smile. "However, once we eliminate evil, your young master will inevitably suffer a backlash. So, shall we eliminate evil?"

Governor Luo's face turned pale, and he staggered back two steps.

"Furthermore, do you think that by killing this man, the fake Luo Yu will live to be a hundred? No, what's stolen is stolen; it can't be kept. His weak health is a consequence of this." Qing Yi said coolly, "People, how can things be so easy? Stealing everything from others, can one really live a peaceful and wealthy life? There's always something to give in exchange. Since you've stolen someone else's life, you should exchange it for something most important, such as health, or... lifespan. This is karma." (End of Chapter)
