"Alright, stop speculating." Lu Yi said impatiently.

"What's wrong? Is my guess wrong?" Zhang Yun asked Lu Yi, puzzled.

"It's not that it's wrong, but whether you can even get through tonight is still a question."

"What...what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? I'm asking you, do you believe in ghosts?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Liu Jie and Zhang Yun said without thinking, while only the girl named Shui'er looked at Lu Yi with a shocked expression.

Just then, the door creaked open, and Liu Kai returned.

When Liu Kai appeared before everyone, he was soaking wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. The tattered black umbrella he had brought with him from the house was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Yun rushed over, grabbed his arm, and complained, "Where have you been all this time? We were worried sick for ages. We were just about to go out and look for you when you came back first. You actually know how to come back, huh?"

"Don't blame Zhang Yun for scolding you. You've been relying on your guts to wander around like that, it's pure individualism. You deserve a severe reprimand. Tell us, what did you find in the village? Did you see any pretty village girls? Did you peep at them while they were bathing?" Liu Jie said half-jokingly.

Liu Kai pushed Zhang Yun's hand away and said expressionlessly, "Nothing, I just went for a walk." He then walked straight to a corner and sat down, completely unconcerned about his still-damp clothes.

The three of them exchanged glances, all feeling that something was amiss. This was completely unlike Liu Kai's usual style; in the past, he would have already shouted and blurted out everything he had seen.

Zhang Yun walked up to him and nudged his arm: "What's wrong, buddy? Did you see something scary outside that frightened you?"

“There’s no one in this village, not a single person. All the houses in this village are empty… empty…” Liu Kai spoke with a blank expression, his eyes empty and numb, as if he were talking to himself.

"Come back, everyone, and don't go near him," Lu Yi said, his eyes fixed on Liu Kai as he addressed Liu Jie and the other two.

"Why? He's Liu Kai!" Liu Jie exclaimed, looking at Lu Yi.

"Hmph... He's Liu Kai? No, you're wrong, he's not anymore." Lu Yi said with a snort.

"Impossible. He's clearly Liu Kai!" Liu Jie insisted, still concerned for his own safety.

"You've watched the show for so long, can you come out now? You're an Onmyoji from Japan." Lu Yi ignored Liu Jie and spoke to the empty doorway.

"Oh??? We've been discovered? I didn't expect there to be a cultivator here." As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, he saw a person appear outside the previously empty doorway—a person with strange attire.

"Heh heh... It seems your purpose in coming here is far from pure. But do you know that you've already committed a grave offense against me?" Lu Yi said with a cold laugh, looking at the young Onmyoji.

"Really? What kind of taboo is it?" The Onmyoji said with a nonchalant smile. However, his eyes were fixed on Shui'er in Liu Jie's arms, a lewd glint in them.

"Do you know who I hate the most?" Although the lewd glint in the Onmyoji's eyes was fleeting, Lu Yi still caught it and said with a cold smile.

"Huh?" The young Onmyoji looked at Lu Yi with a puzzled expression.

"What I hate most is..." Lu Yi disappeared before he could finish speaking, reappearing in front of the Onmyoji. In the Onmyoji's incredulous gaze, he slashed his neck with a hand chop, instantly severing his head, which rolled far away on the ground. After doing all this, Lu Yi continued, "The Japanese."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter Six: Subjugation

"Alright, the annoying person is gone, so it's your turn next." After dealing with the Onmyoji, Lu Yi turned to "Liu Kai" and said with a playful tone.

"Roar..." Liu Kai seemed to realize he had been discovered, so he roared and charged towards Lu Yi.

"Oh??? Still want to resist? Should I say you're brave or stupid?" Lu Yi smiled casually as he watched "Liu Kai" rushing towards him.

Liu Kai seemed not to understand what Lu Yi was saying. He rushed forward expressionlessly, his hands outstretched, trying to grab Lu Yi's neck. His resistance was futile. His hands could not go any further when they were about to touch Lu Yi's neck.

"Little brat, your cultivation is too low, but those two ghost children behind you are quite intriguing to me," Lu Yi said with his usual smile.

Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, "Liu Kai," who had been expressionless, now stared at Lu Yi with horrified eyes. He abandoned his fight and instead turned and charged at Liu Jie and the other two who were still standing there in a daze.

"Hmph... You're not qualified to hurt anyone in front of me." Lu Yi snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, then curled his fingers into a claw. A large hand formed from energy grabbed "Liu Kai," who was still rushing forward, and pulled him back. He looked at Liu Kai's panicked eyes and said.

“Tell me, where are those two ghost dolls behind you?” Lu Yi asked, staring at “Liu Kai”.

Just then, a sudden gust of cold wind swept in from outside, accompanied by cries that sounded like both crying and laughing, giving people a chilling feeling.

Seeing this, Lu Yi's lips curled up, and he thought to himself, "It's finally here."

"Now that your master has arrived, I no longer need you. Goodbye..." With that, he slapped "Liu Kai" on the top of his head, and "Liu Kai" fell to the ground. He had only lost consciousness because Lu Yi had dispersed the ghost that was attached to him.

"And you guys, you're only getting in my way here, so I'll send you back. I'll also erase what happened today from your minds. Alright, go." After saying that, he ignored the three still in a daze and sent the four of them out of the ghost village.

"Alright. Thanks for seeing them off." Lu Yi clapped his hands, turned around, looked at the eerie scene outside, and said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly rose outside the door, gradually forming a small tornado. The old houses and doors creaked and groaned as the wind pushed them, creating a terrifying scene. Then, with a "bang," the tornado dissipated, and hundreds of "people" appeared before Lu Yi's eyes. Leading them were two little ghosts, a man and a woman.

"They've finally revealed their true colors. Although the formation is large, they're just kids, useless." Lu Yi said, looking at the formation of nearly 500 people.

"Who are you? Why are you ruining my plans?" the leading male ghost asked in a sinister tone.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that I came here to subdue you."

"Brother, is that person an idiot?" the female ghost next to the male ghost asked in confusion.

"Hmm, I think so," the little boy nodded seriously.

"Hold on, you must hold on, damn it, if I didn't need your help, I would have wiped you out long ago, damn it." Lu Yi thought to himself as he heard the two kids who seemed to be siblings suppressing their anger.

“You killed people just to shift the blame and get reincarnated sooner. If you do me a favor, I’ll help you reincarnate and stop being wandering ghosts. How about it?” Lu Yi said, taking a deep breath.

"Why should we believe you?" the boy asked again.

"I have the strength to back it up." With that, he released his aura and pressed down on the group of vengeful ghosts. The two little ghosts in the lead were okay and could barely hold on, but the ones behind them were no match. Some of the weaker ones were directly blown away by Lu Yi's aura, while some of the stronger ones were already on the verge of death.

"So? Do you agree or not?" Lu Yi asked, his imposing manner vanishing almost immediately.

"Okay, as long as you can help us to recast, we'll agree to anything," the little boy said with a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Yi withdraw his aura.

"Hehe... A wise man submits to circumstances. I like that. Don't worry, as long as you can complete the task, I will definitely let you be reborn. Alright, I'll take you into my space now. When the time comes, I will send you to do your work. Once you've done it, it will be time for you to be reborn." With that, he waved his right hand, and nearly 500 wronged souls and vengeful ghosts disappeared without a trace.

"Phew... I've wasted so much time. It's time to leave. Yuxin, you must wait for me." With that, Lu Yi disappeared.

Chapter Seven: The Final Meeting

Peking University, the dream school of all students. This university is directly protected and managed by the state, and not just anyone can enter it. Even if you are the child of a high-ranking official in the central government, you will be treated the same.

Inside the President's Office of Peking University

At this moment, Lu Yi was sitting at a desk, opposite the university's president: an elderly man with a full head of white hair.

"Old man, I would like to enter this school. Is that possible?" Lu Yi said, looking directly at the old man opposite him after sitting down.

“I’m sorry, young man, this school is protected and managed by the state. Without the president’s consent, we cannot allow you to enroll.” The old man’s eyes twitched as he heard Lu Yi call him “old man.”

"Is it only with the Chairman's approval?" Lu Yi asked again, still hesitant.

"Yes," the old man replied with certainty.

"Really? Then we can contact the chairman here."

"That's right, you can contact the Chairman here, but it's best if you don't do that. The Chairman won't agree to it easily."

"Old man, your cultivation is not bad, but it's a pity that your time is coming to an end." Lu Yi ignored the old man's words and just looked at him and said suddenly.

"What? You... how did you know?" the old man said, his eyes wide with shock upon hearing Lu Yi's words.

"Old man, as long as you let me enroll, I'll solve this little problem for you right now, how about it?" Lu Yi said to the old man with a smile.

"This... alright, I can help you." The old man hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He then got up to contact the chairman.

"Wait..." Lu Yi called out to him at this moment.

"What's wrong?" the old man asked Lu Yi, puzzled.

"I don't want anyone to know I exist, otherwise..." As he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and a chilling killing intent was instantly released. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, causing the old man to catch his breath and almost choke on his own.

"I...I understand," the old man said, looking at Lu Yi with fear in his eyes. He then walked out, leaving Lu Yi alone in the large room, waiting idly.

. . . .

"Alright, you can now study at this school." After some time, the door opened, and the old man walked in and respectfully addressed Lu Yi.

"Well, that's good. Since you've done something for me, I can't just leave without doing anything in return, otherwise I'd seem too stingy."

"You mean..."

“That’s right, I’ll help you break through now. Sit cross-legged.” Lu Yi said to the old man, then waved his right hand to set up a barrier in the room to prevent his aura from leaking out. After everything was done, Lu Yi came to the old man’s side and placed his hand on the old man’s head. The old man felt an extremely powerful energy rush into his body. This energy broke through layer after layer of obstacles with unstoppable force, and in an instant, it opened up all the meridians in his body. After it was opened, the energy did not disappear but continued to circulate in his body, constantly compressing energy and strengthening his body until the energy disappeared.

"The problem that has troubled me for nearly a hundred years has actually... actually been solved so easily." The old man murmured in disbelief as he felt the powerful energy within his body after the breakthrough.

The old man underwent a tremendous change after his breakthrough. His once white hair was now jet black and shiny, and the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, leaving his skin smooth as a mirror.

“Alright, you’ve broken through too, so I should go to school now. By the way, I need to go to the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3. That should be fine, right?” As he spoke, Lu Yi opened the door and was about to walk out when he turned back and asked.

"Ah?? No... no problem." The old man snapped out of his surprise upon hearing Lu Yi's words.

"That's good." With that, he walked out of the room and disappeared from the old man's sight.

. . . . . .

In the classroom of Class 1, Grade 3 ---------

"Today, we have a new student in our class. Let's welcome her!" A middle-aged man wearing glasses stood on the platform and addressed the students below. He clapped his hands in a welcoming ceremony, and the students followed suit. Except for a girl who always sat in the back row, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

As Lu Yi opened the door and walked into the classroom, the applause abruptly stopped. The classroom was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All the students stared blankly at Lu Yi; they had never seen anyone so handsome… no, so exceptionally handsome.

The girl who had been keeping her head down looked up in confusion when the classroom suddenly fell silent. At that moment, we finally saw her face clearly. Her beauty could be described as "the face of a flower, the voice of a bird, the spirit of the moon, the grace of a willow, the bones of jade, the skin of ice and snow, the posture of autumn water, and the heart of poetry." (Of course, that's a bit of an exaggeration.) What a stunning beauty! When she looked up and saw Lu Yi's captivating face, she was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered, gave him a disdainful glance, and lowered her head again.

"Yuxin, I've finally seen you again. This time, I will never let you go again, never." Lu Yi thought to himself as he saw the girl's eyes filled with excitement.

Chapter 8: Vampires

"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Yi, and I come from Anhui Province. I hope you will take good care of me in the future." Lu Yi calmed himself down and then introduced himself to the students who were still in a daze.

"Wow, he's so handsome! I wonder if he has a girlfriend." "Yeah, yeah, I wish he were my boyfriend!"... After Lu Yi introduced himself, all the girls in the class erupted in screams, while the boys looked at him with envy and jealousy. Lu Yi didn't care about what others thought; he was only thinking about how to reunite with Yu Xin. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, they wouldn't believe that such an incredible thing as rebirth could happen, and getting Yu Xin to believe it would be a bit troublesome.

"Alright, everyone quiet down. Please sit over there, class is about to start." The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yi and pointed to the empty seat in the last row, which was right next to the girl who had only glanced at Lu Yi before lowering her head.

Lu Yi sat down next to the girl. Sensing someone was beside her, the girl looked up and gave Lu Yi a cold glance before ignoring him. Lu Yi didn't seem to mind, and simply smiled and extended his hand to her, saying in a friendly manner, "Hello, my name is Lu Yi. May I ask your name?"

"Wang Yuxin." From the start of class until now, the girl had only glanced at Lu Yi before focusing on her own work. As for Lu Yi's introduction? She hadn't listened at all, so she didn't know his name. Now, when she heard Lu Yi say her name, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Perhaps it was because the name Lu Yi was familiar to her, or perhaps it was because of Lu Yi's friendly smile. She finally spoke her name, but her tone remained cold and distant.

Lu Yi smiled nonchalantly and stopped bothering her, starting to think about how to explain that he was her deceased boyfriend.
