This ghost is actually Chen Xi's father.

A moment later, Chen Xi's smile suddenly froze. Her hand appeared in an extremely twisted position, her face showed pain, and then blood began to flow from her seven orifices.

"Father, I am your daughter, please don't hurt me."

Xu Yueyin said calmly, "Naive. You actually thought that ghosts would have a soft heart."

The aged voice was pleading. Chen's mother, who had been lying on the bed, struggled to sit up, her face covered in tears: "Xiaoxi, don't scare me, husband, you can't touch Chen Xi, she's your daughter. If you want to kill someone, kill me instead. Xiaoxi trapped you because of me."

As soon as those words were spoken, the resentment seemed to find its source. Chen's mother's already weak body began to contort, and tears of blood streamed from her eyes.

With the last shred of her sanity remaining, Chen's mother looked at Chen Xi with lingering reluctance: "Daughter, Mom hopes you stay healthy and don't do anything wrong again."

As she spoke, she slowly walked over, her neck twisted into an inhuman shape, staring at the talisman in Yao Feiran's hand.

Yao Feiran handed her the talisman. Suddenly, Chen's mother picked up a fruit knife from the table, wrapped the talisman around the knife, and plunged it into her neck. Blood gushed out. Chen Xi struggled to her feet, panicking, and cried out, "Mom!"

Everyone was also surprised by this decisive action. Yao Feiran drew her copper coin sword and, seeing the wounded ghost leave Chen's mother's body for a moment, used the power of thunder to stab it.

A plume of black smoke slowly rose, the black and white photograph split in two, and the temperature in the room gradually warmed up.

Only Chen Xi, while pressing on her mother's wound, trembled as she took out her phone to call 120, but everyone knew it was too late to save her.

Yao Feiran felt a little heavy-hearted. Wu Tianyong had been recording the whole thing, and he put the yellow talisman with her birth date and time and the cracked black and white photo into the bag.

Xie Chen chuckled sheepishly: "Miss Yao, your skill level has probably reached the Xuan rank. This vengeful ghost is almost at the level of a ghost king. After the evaluation, you and Miss Xu will receive a bonus."

"Your job is quite dangerous, and there aren't many skilled ones among you."

Xie Chen gave an awkward smile: "...Hehe, we basically never encounter ghosts at this level. Ghosts at this level kill in groups, so we didn't expect that."

"Did Chen Xi borrow her life for her mother's sake?"

"Yes, although her family is wealthy, her father has a bad temper and often beats and scolds her mother. He has even reported her to the police several times for domestic violence. Her mother was so badly injured that she became paralyzed and has been staying at home ever since. In recent years, she has been diagnosed with a terminal illness."

"Her father died of a heart attack. Chen Xi somehow learned how to bind ghosts and actually used her father's ghost to do evil. She had dated several boyfriends, but only Wang Yiyu's birth date and time matched perfectly."

"From the very beginning, she wanted to save her mother's life."

In that instant, Yao Feiran remembered the ghost that Xu Fenglan had sealed in the jar. She didn't know how long it had been sealed, but she couldn't possibly not know that the longer a ghost existed, the more powerful it became.

What was she planning to do? Perhaps Xu Yueyin didn't know either.

"Miss Xu, has the life-borrowing technique been broken yet?"

"The person who borrowed my life has already passed away, so the debt is severed and no further payment is required."

"That's good."

After the incident, Wang Yiyu recovered, but his body became extremely weak, and he had to drop out of school. He was also marked, and it was assessed that there was a high possibility that he would become a vengeful ghost after death, so he might be given a timely exorcism.

After the incident, Yao Feiran was inexplicably registered with the Paranormal Bureau, and they would call her over frequently for any incidents.

Yao Feiran also broke through to the Xuan-rank Celestial Master and learned several more talismans to sell. Because she learned them from the Jiang family, the first batch of supplies were all to the Jiang family.

Yao Feiran returned to town during the winter vacation, but was kicked out of Xu Fenglan's house when she went there again.

"You have already become a Xuan-rank Celestial Master, and the Jiang family's library is now open to you. You no longer need to come here."

"Thank you for your guidance, Grandma."

Yao Feiran didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "Grandma, you said that ghosts are all inhuman and cannot exist or be used, otherwise they will leave behind karmic burdens and be doomed forever. But I saw what was in your jar."

Even though it was covered in seals, she could still clearly see the resentment that had materialized inside. She didn't understand it before, but now she could deduce that what was inside was the Ghost King.

Xu Fenglan's eyelids twitched. She glared at Yao Feiran and said, "Go away, and don't come back."

Yao Feiran watched her close the door, her heart sinking slightly. She had no choice but to return to town.

Xu Yueyin rushed over the next day.

"Do you know where Grandma went? I couldn't contact her today, and I didn't find her at her house. The villagers also said they haven't seen her."

"I don't know, when I went there yesterday, she refused to teach me anymore."

"Is that so?"

Xu Yueyin was uneasy, and Yao Feiran finally told her about it: "Did you know that your grandmother sealed away a ghost?"

"What?"

Xu Yueyin was shocked. Privately raising ghosts is not allowed. Even the Celestial Master, codenamed Twin Tails, was raised by the Celestial Master for several years and eventually became the Ghost King, possessing the Ghost Domain and killing countless people.

"I don't know, did you report it?"

"I didn't." Yao Feiran shook her head: "You are her granddaughter. I can only give you the initiative; I can't make the decision."

Xu Yueyin wanted to say something, but she was upset and left in a hurry.

Xu Yueyin still told the Paranormal Bureau about this matter. At this time, her face turned slightly pale. Her grandmother used to tell her not to underestimate ghosts and not to treat ghosts as if they were people in life, but her grandmother did just that.

Moreover, based on Yao Feiran's description, that ghost is very likely her father.

Xu Fenglan has vanished without a trace, and a bounty has been placed on her name on the Celestial Master website, sparking much discussion.

"Master Xu used to be a Grand Celestial Master, and he was originally part of an organization. It seems that he left the organization after being injured. I didn't expect that he would raise ghosts now. He must have fallen into evil cultivation."

"I can understand Master Xu. Although it is forbidden to keep ghosts, if someone close to you becomes a vengeful ghost, do you watch them be destroyed, or do you keep them and hold onto hope? It is a difficult choice."

"Hey upstairs, don't talk nonsense, or you'll get your account banned and invited for tea."

"If you want to ban it, then ban it. That's how it is. Everyone says they follow the rules, but how can you be so heartless when it comes to yourself?"

"...Once the Demon King's domain descends upon your home, everyone will behave themselves."

"By the way, I heard that she taught a student who became a Xuan-rank Celestial Master in just six months."

"You believe that? You're probably already at the Xuan rank and just showing off."

Yao Feiran glanced at the forum briefly and then stopped paying attention.
