"I saw several people leave the shop one after another, so I believed that they really agreed to let me redeem myself."

But the day I regained my memories, I understood. They were the ones who kidnapped me, my enemies, and I also learned about the existence of the Ghost Market.

Yu Qinghuan picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips, but her hand trembled so badly that it took her a long time to take a sip.

"How could they really set me free? They must have done something to me."

But now that I can't go home and can't acknowledge my relatives, I have no fear anymore.

She drank the tea in one gulp, her eyes resolute yet desperate. "It's nothing more than death. Once I'm dead, all their schemes will fail."

Mao Dan felt a pang of pity. "Miss Yu, it's better to live if you can."

Some people pay a heavy price to live, believing that one should not give up on life until the very last moment.

Yu Qinghuan smiled and shook her head.

The smile was bittersweet and sorrowful.

As long as she lives, she will be used and manipulated by those people.

Besides, how could she possibly live with herself?

Right now, she only cared about Pei Xuan. "Miss Gui Yao, do you have a way to make him forget me?"

"I need to think about it."

Gui Yao asked her, "Is your maid also from the Ghost Market?"

"She was assigned to me by the shopkeeper before I came to Beijing; she had never been to the Ghost Market before."

"How did you obtain the antidote for the 'gentle embrace' from Pei Xuan?"

"To understand the preferences of men in the capital, I used an alias to work as a musician at Changxiangsi."

Later, to convince Pei Xuan that he was in Changxiangsi, I went there a few times while he was asleep and obtained the antidote for the "Gentle Abode."

At that time, she and Pei Xuan were deeply in love and had no need for the antidote, so the antidote was preserved.

When they broke up, she guessed that Pei Xuan would go to Changxiangsi to look for him. Not wanting him to be tainted by other women, she fed him the antidote.

She didn't say what came next, but Gui Yao understood it, and it matched the message Chang Xiangsi had sent.

Yu Qinghuan asked, "You suspect that Xing'er was planted by the Ghost Market to spy on me?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Gui Yao said, "Xiao Huaijin is no ordinary person. They must have something big in mind for letting you control him. They can't just leave you to your own devices."

Yu Qinghuan thought for a moment, "After learning that I had the wrong person, Xing'er was indeed very scared, and even angry."

But at the time, she was caught up in regret and pain and didn't have the energy to delve into Xing'er's reaction.

There's no need to delve into it now. She's a dying woman; what can Xing'er do to her?

When Gui Yao saw her like this, he couldn't help but think of the Princess Consort.

"If you're not even afraid of death, then stay and do some cleaning and tidying for my Xuanji Tower, how about it?"

Mao Dan's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea, Miss Yu. A person only has one life. It's such a pity if someone dies."

Those who kidnapped you, exploited you, and harmed you are so despicable. Don't you want to take revenge?

And those family members who miss you and care about you, they have been looking for you. Even if you can't recognize them for the time being, you can still know how they are doing while you are alive, right?

"If you stay at Xuanji Tower, not only will your master protect you, but she can also help you take revenge. Your master is the best; you won't regret following her..."

It tried its best to persuade it, its head turning frantically.

Over the years, the master has never allowed outsiders to stay in Xuanji Tower; she must have her reasons.

Perhaps it was to learn more about the Ghost Market, after all, that wretched place actually contained the Xuanji Bone, and Yu Qinghuan's face also seemed rather strange...

Perhaps out of sympathy for Yu Qinghuan, as her master's soul is repaired, she will gradually become a normal person with emotions and desires.

Whatever the owner wants, Mao Dan will help her get it.

"If I stay, I will cause you trouble."

Yu Qinghuan hesitated. "The Ghost Market is a very strange place, or rather, an organization. Jiangnan is just a branch. Even I don't know how many branches they have or how many people they have."

When Gui Yao said those words, she was actually somewhat moved. It turned out that deep down, she didn't want to die.

She has people she can't let go of, and hatred that can't be quelled without bloodshed.

The Ghost Market, which can satisfy the desires of all beings, is no ordinary place.

Gui Yao didn't care much. "I dare to keep you here, so I'm not afraid of any of this. Think it over carefully. It's best not to leave Xuanji Tower anytime soon."

After saying that, she went upstairs to look through her journal.

Mao Dan hurriedly tried to persuade her, and after settling Yu Qinghuan in, it flew to Gui Yao's side and asked, "Master, why did you suddenly decide to read?"

"I'm looking for a solution to the love-locking charm."

She used to have a bad memory, but she would remember things that happened when she received the power of her vows, or any abilities that suddenly came to mind.

Unfortunately, it wasn't in the journal.

The hairy egg landed on her shoulder. "Just pull out his love threads directly."

This is a piece of cake for the master; it only takes a little spiritual energy.

Gui Yao closed the note. "Without the emotional ties, Pei Xuan will not only forget this experience, but will also be devoid of love, hate, emotion, and desire in the future."

They feel no sadness even at the death of a loved one, nor any joy whatsoever.

She deeply understands that feeling.

"Master, you've really changed!"

Mao Dan flew to Gui Yao and said, "You never used to think about these things."

Gui Yao was slightly taken aback.

Yes, she never used to make things difficult for herself; she would usually use whatever method was easiest.

Now she's actually thinking about others.

"Mao Dan, tell me, what kind of person was I before?"

This question was originally asked before the person was brought back to life.

"This Xuanji bone feels familiar to me. It has integrated perfectly into my body, as if it was originally in this body."

But if it's her spine, who took it and put it on the black market?

Mao Dan shook his head apologetically, "Master, Mao Dan really doesn't know."

It only knows how its master was brought back to life, because it too was born alongside its master, but it cannot tell the story.

Gui Yao stroked its head. "Then let's continue collecting wishes. Who knows what will happen next?"

Enjoy each day as it comes.

He stuffed the bird into his sleeve. "Let's go, let's go to Prince Jin's mansion for a free meal."

When Xiao Huaijin saw Gui Yao's face brighten again, he knew that things had succeeded.

"Guiyao, my dear girl."

He smiled and bowed in greeting.

Gui Yao chuckled, "Your Highness, I'm hungry."

When you lose your sense of taste, you just eat a few bites to maintain your energy. When your sense of taste returns, your stomach starts to crave food and wants to be filled.

Xiao Huaijin turned around and ordered people to prepare a meal.

Gui Yao wasn't going to eat for nothing; he pulled a balut from his sleeve and said, "Tell the prince about the matter in detail."

Mao Dan was happy to act as his master's mouthpiece, mimicking Yu Qinghuan's tone and repeating the story word for word.

Finally, boasting, "Your Highness, my master's discovery of Miss Yu not only saved Young Master Pei, but also saved you."

Whether it's the Ghost Market itself targeting Xiao Huaijin, or someone placing an order in the Ghost Market and asking for its help, the Ghost Market will come to Xiao Huaijin again after Yu Qinghuan's mission fails.

If the master hadn't uncovered the truth behind it all, and Xiao Huaijin hadn't been on guard, he might have become the second man to be willing to die for love.

Upon learning what had happened, Xiao Huaijin agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Thank you, Miss Guiyao."

Suddenly, Zhan Deng felt that his master was right to build a restaurant in front of Xuanji Tower, and that Miss Gui Yao was worthy of it.

Holding the sword, he felt a lingering fear, saying, "Tomorrow I must go and donate some money to the Zen master."

Thinking of his disdain for Pei Xuan these past few days, he felt a pang of guilt and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Miss Gui Yao, what should we do with Young Master Pei now?"

Gui Yao said, "Until I find a way to break the love charm, let him continue to sleep."

When you're asleep, you won't think too much.

Mao Dan then recounted how Gui Yao refused to draw Pei Xuanqing's silk.

"My owner is kind-hearted and wants to do everything he can to help him become a normal person in the future."

Xiao Huaijin bowed again to express her gratitude, "If Pei Xuanruo knew the truth, I'm afraid he would live the rest of his life in darkness and sin. Please do your best, young lady."

The swordsman and the lantern bearer also bowed deeply to Gui Yao.

Gui Yao avoided the question, saying, "I will try my best, but the Ghost Market has something on the siblings. If they release this information, not to mention what Pei Xuan will do."

The Pei family, and even the entire Southern Yao, will be disgraced. On a larger scale, it will also affect relations between the two countries, since Pei Xuan's incident occurred in the Great Sheng.

Gui Yao looked at Xiao Huaijin, "Has Your Highness decided how to deal with this?"
