The male supporting character was actually myself.

Although I killed him with my own hands and asked the Heavenly Master to suppress and expel him, he actually benefited from the misfortune and obtained a more worthwhile investment in the underworld than in the human world!

Wang Baoyi, that swindler, didn't cause him any harm. On the contrary, it indirectly accelerated his return to the underworld and his discovery of the truth about the whole world.

Looking at it from another angle, it's all thanks to me killing him that he opened the door to a new world for him. I'm actually Murong Jiangchen's benefactor! Otherwise, how could a new ghost like him have achieved all this and risen to the top in one step?

The legacy left by our ancestors...

I am the eldest young master of the Murong family! The human realm initially sidelined me, which is why I accomplished nothing. The underworld should be following tradition, right?

Even without the rule that family property should be passed down to the eldest grandson, at least the right of inheritance is equal!

Why did you, Murong Jiangchen, take all the benefits again? Just because you died young?

Ha, what a nice way to put it, you say you're in the underworld and I'm in the mortal realm, keeping to myself and not interfering with each other. Do you really think I'm a fool? How many years can I enjoy this mortal realm? When I'm old and gray-haired, I'll be out of the game and no longer competitive enough for you to easily manipulate me?

You think beautifully!

However, if there's such a good thing, why is Murong Jiangchen telling me this and rushing to draw a line? Does he think that if I don't want to let him go in the mortal realm, I can still threaten this guy?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Murong Liangchen grinned and let out a long sigh of relief. "Now that we've talked things out, I can finally put this weight off my heart."

The other party indeed looked delighted and beaming with joy.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious again, but then he suddenly understood a little when he thought about what his younger brother had done before his death.

Murong Jiangchen is indeed a shrewd businessman, but he is a typical naive and innocent girl who has been pampered since childhood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to personally pick her up and bring her back to Dujiang City, and would have been so eager to give her half of the family fortune.

Anyone else with a cunning mind would have already killed them and disappeared without a trace!

It seems he didn't learn his lesson after dying once. Even as a ghost, he was too honest and foolish, thinking that if he spoke clearly and honestly, he could truly get what he wanted. This is probably what is known as a people-pleasing personality.

The worse you treat him, the more eager he is to fawn over you!

However, given Murong Jiangchen's comfortable lifestyle, it's unlikely he would bother going up there to cause trouble for himself. Didn't you see how he's been trying to distance himself from the matter so he wouldn't hold it against him anymore?

That house being haunted is definitely something to investigate. I'm not mistaken or hallucinating. The ghost has been trying to scare me but hasn't done anything. Plus, considering the reactions of Wang Baoyi and those brats, there's only one possibility—that old bastard Wang Baoyi did it on purpose!

We really can't put all our eggs in one basket; we need to find a few more celestial masters to take a look...

Chapter Twenty-Five: Suddenly He Was Lame 2

Murong Liangchen was taken aback when he heard him say that.

He had long harbored resentment towards Wang Baoyi, and seeing with his own eyes that Murong Jiangchen, who should have been thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, was still living a better life here than in the human world, it was clear that Wang Baoyi was deceiving him!

"That old liar!" he cursed through gritted teeth, his feelings a jumble of emotions.

Having fallen into Murong Jiangchen's hands again after being captured by the underworld officials, he had no choice but to resign himself to fate and take things one step at a time.

I hope this guy isn't lying to me, otherwise...

Upon receiving a series of tasks issued by the main system, Jiang Chen immediately decided to change his strategy. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, you need to be more careful."

Wang Baoyi deals with ghosts every day, so it's easy for him to mess with you.

"I'll teach you a good plan—when you get back, invite several Taoist masters. Although many of them will protect each other, you're bound to find one or two who aren't greedy. That way, you'll definitely be able to catch the mastermind! Otherwise, hehe, you can just wait to fill Wang Baoyi's bottomless pit."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember." Murong Liangchen nodded and bowed in agreement, then raised her wrist and looked at him with a fawning expression, "I..."

He subtly withdrew the black line and explained, "After all, you are a living soul, and in the eyes of many ghosts in the underworld, you are a delicious meal. To prevent you from being captured and devoured, I have no choice but to assert my dominance in this way. Come, I will show you the room prepared for you."

Floating in the huge, luxurious villa, Murong Liangchen's eyes couldn't take it all in.

"The technology in the human world is developing fast, right? But those outstanding talents only serve the human world for a few years. In the underworld, it can take hundreds of years to be reincarnated. With so many high-end talents gathered there, the development speed of the underworld is much faster than that of the human world."

Jiang Chen explained how to use the various facilities in the room that Murong Liangchen had never heard of, seen, or even thought of before. For a moment, he felt as if time had reversed.

This scene is so similar to when I first arrived in Dujiang. I never thought it would still be like this. I feel like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, while Murong Jiangchen is always the best.

They are clearly brothers born of the same mother, yet they share the same face.

Why does he always do better than me everywhere?!

Hearing the continuous notifications from the main system indicating that the tasks were completed, Jiang Chen's smile deepened as he continued to mislead, "You saw ghosts coming and going on the street earlier, men, women, young and old, all kinds of people, right?"

This is also a major misconception in the human world, which I only learned after I came to the underworld—the appearance of people living in the underworld is what they look like when their life ends.

In other words, my untimely death was a lucky accident; who wouldn't want to stay young forever?

If you wait until you're eighty or ninety years old to die peacefully, and then live for hundreds of years in a frail and old age, what beautiful female ghost would like a decrepit old man? Even if she had any thoughts, she wouldn't have the strength or ability to express them, would she?

Moreover, by then, their ancestors might be unable to provide shelter due to various unforeseen circumstances. Arriving here in unfamiliar territory with no one to rely on, even survival would be a problem.

Murong Liangchen was even more confused. This was too far beyond his comprehension!

Is the saying "dying early and being reborn early" actually a wise warning?

The earlier you die, the more advantageous it is to come here sooner to develop and operate. In this light, the human world is just a fleeting visit, and this is the eternal final destination!

"Isn't this house quite nice?" Jiang Chen, deliberately avoiding the main point and misleading the protagonist, smiled and said, "This villa alone is worth a fortune in the Jiangyin region. I've also taken over the business my ancestors ran, and I have experience running companies, so it's a perfect fit. I'll work my way up a few more years and see if I can get a minor official position, then I won't have to reincarnate again."

Murong Liangchen was shocked. To be immortal and live a life of debauchery without being subject to reincarnation—wasn't that the life of a god?

No wonder this kid doesn't hold a grudge against me at all; it turns out he got a great deal by accident!

"Little brother, I was really short-sighted before and did something that hurt you. You didn't hold a grudge and even made me a warning..."

"This is the second reason I invited you here today." Jiang Chen looked at him sincerely and said, word by word, "The things that happened before my death are completely over. We brothers have reconciled and eliminated our misunderstandings."

You manage your family business well in the human world and pass it on; I will continue the legacy of our ancestors in the underworld and strive to develop it. We'll live our own lives peacefully from now on, without interfering with each other.

He chuckled mysteriously in a low voice, "The beauties of the underworld are far superior to those ordinary women up here. Ghosts, after all, know a lot of tricks and can be played with however you like. Want to try a few?"

I'm the best!

And this good thing? !

Stunned by the series of intense shocks, Murong Liangchen carefully recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, and found Murong Jiangchen's words to be increasingly reasonable.

Although I killed him with my own hands and asked the Heavenly Master to suppress and expel him, he actually benefited from the misfortune and obtained a more worthwhile investment in the underworld than in the human world!

Wang Baoyi, that swindler, didn't cause him any harm. On the contrary, it indirectly accelerated his return to the underworld and his discovery of the truth about the whole world.

Looking at it from another angle, it's all thanks to me killing him that he opened the door to a new world for him. I'm actually Murong Jiangchen's benefactor! Otherwise, how could a new ghost like him have achieved all this and risen to the top in one step?

Chapter Twenty-Six: Has the Truth Been Exposed?

While Murong Liangchen was still lost in thought, Jiang Chen had already used reliable channels to call him six beautiful and charming female ghost sisters, each with a completely different style and temperament from ancient times to the present.

"A gentleman as handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world. I have never seen such a handsome man before. May I ask your name, sir? And would you please allow me to play a tune for you?"

"Young man, you're quite the player! You're probably too proud of those ordinary beauties in the mortal realm, aren't you? Your soul has ventured into the underworld for a taste of something new, guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience!"

"Come on, handsome, help me unbutton my shirt..."

…………

The professional female ghost they hired at a high price lived up to expectations, quickly bewitching Murong Liangchen.

"A living soul entangled with a ghost? Ha, just wait for your yang energy to leak out and your yin energy to entangle your body." Jiang Chen sat in the hall, slowly drinking tea, listening to the sweet voices that occasionally came from the room, which had been specially decorated with various props. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Time passed second by second, but the sky in the underworld remained unchanged, and one could only rely on a clock to tell the time.

Some people are surrounded by beautiful women, some are happy, and naturally, some are sad.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Wang Baoyi, who had no desire to rest, washed up early and prepared to lead the children to the underworld.

He could sense that Murong Liangchen's captured soul had not yet returned, and coupled with the eerie and sarcastic words of the underworld messengers, he had a bad feeling.

Could it be that something really serious has happened and the truth has come out?

When "Murong Jiangchen" approached him promising a large sum of money to get rid of the evil spirit, he became suspicious when he saw the evil spirit's appearance.

The evil spirit looks exactly like "Murong Jiangchen"!

Moreover, since they're only targeting him and trying to take his life, based on past experience, it's likely that the one who's alive killed the other and turned into a demon. As for who among them is Murong Jiangchen, he doesn't care at all. It's only natural for a celestial master to suppress a demon; it's just that they've skipped some of the tedious and unnecessary procedures.

What trouble can a little brat cause?

If you really follow all those rules and regulations set by the Yin and Yang realms, and go through all those long and complicated procedures, you'd have to make several trips back and forth to the Yin realm every time you catch a ghost to find out the truth. How many jobs could you get in a year?

When embarking on the path of spiritual practice, everyone knows the four most important words: wealth, companions, Dharma, and environment.

The fact that wealth is listed first shows its importance. Clothing, food, housing, transportation, expanding one's network, magical artifacts, and elixirs all cost money.

To improve one's cultivation level, one needs more money!

Therefore, without a second thought, he followed his usual practice and, having been paid, directly suppressed and banished the evil spirit. He had heard the employer repeatedly demand that he be cast into the eighteen levels of hell forever, something he'd heard far too often and knew how to phrase it beautifully and convincingly.

After all, it was just a little kid. He was burdened with the highest level of suppression talisman of Listening Wind Valley, and he had no money, no connections, and no one to burn incense and worship him. How could he possibly escape?
