Bai Wei retracted his thoughts, glanced at Fang Ruoshui with cold eyes, and what he said pierced straight to Fang Ruoshui’s heart, “And have you never killed anyone?”

Fang Ruoshui was nailed in a painful spot, and tears suddenly pooled in her bloodshot eyes. She took out a talisman from her pocket, crafted from the teachings of the Luban Sutra—the ‘Five Thunderbolts in a Pool of Oil Conflagration’ Talisman.

“This oil is not ordinary. Lu Ban gave me mystical oil to burn evil masters. My disciples wear fire hats, fire clothes, and fire shoes. They burn evil masters from the east, evil masters from the west, and ghosts and demons from the north, lawless evil in the center. The pregnant woman, and the demons and monsters all turn into dust, I invite the six stars of the South Dipper and the seven stars of the Big Dipper. I follow the order of the Supreme Lord.”

Bai Wei was burned by the invisible fire and screamed hysterically. A few seconds later, he was burned out of his human shape, leaving only a formless ghost. He was about to escape, but was caught in Fang Ruoshui’s grip.

“Don’t think this is the end. I’m going to crush you to ashes. You’ll live a life that’s worse than death. I’m waiting to see what good show you will give me.”

The ghost wanted to flee but was held tightly by Fang Ruoshui and could not escape.

“Give him to me, and I will send him to the Underworld. Such a person will go to the eighteenth level of hell and be cooked by fire for a thousand years.

“Responding to violence with violence is not better than letting the criminal be punished by law. Although the former will allow you to take revenge, this act will also leave you soiled.”

An Rugu took out a soul-detaining bottle and shook it gently.

The soul-detaining bottle was one of the five magic weapons of Cloud Rise Temple. As its name suggested, it could detain the soul inside the bottle. After knowing that there was a ghost here to fetch the bride, she specially brought a soul-detaining bottle.

Right now, Bai Wei’s two ghost henchmen were already inside.

Fang Ruoshui paused, thought for a moment, then gradually released her hold, and the ghost soul was immediately absorbed into the soul bottle.

An Rugu capped the bottle mouth and put the bottle back into her bag.

Only An Rugu and Shang Yue were left at the scene, as well as Fang Shangshan and Fang Ruoshui.

The biggest enemy has been eliminated, but the air was still filled with the smell of tension.

Shang Yue knew that this person before them was a wanted criminal, so she stood in front of An Rugu—the moment Fang Ruoshui made a move, she would immediately fight back.

However, An Rugu and Fang Ruoshui looked at each other across the length of the room and neither seemed to have any intention of taking action.

After a long time, An Rugu finally broke the silence, “Where is the guardian artifact?”

Fang Shangshan had a trace of curiosity in her eyes when she heard about the artifact. Did her sister steal the master’s artifact?

She then raised her hand and tugged at the corner of Fang Ruoshui’s clothes, a hint of disapproval flashing in her eyes.

Fang Ruoshui glanced at her, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then finally gave an address.

“Shall you surrender yourself, or should I arrest you now?”

“… In three days, I will surrender.”

Before leaving, An Rugu seemed to have thought of something and looked back at Fang Shangshan who was standing there in a daze, “If you and your new friends don’t want to go back to the Underworld yet, you can come to my haunted house to find a job.”

Right now the haunted house was short of people, no, it was short of ghosts.

Fang Shangshan: “???”

Fang Ruoshui: “…”

Was she poaching her sister right in front of her?

After An Rugu finished speaking, she didn’t care what other people thought and left without hesitation.

There was no conflict, and everything went smoothly.

Only when An Rugu had brought Shang Yue back to Cloud Rise Temple did the latter react.

She had heard that Fang Ruoshui was extremely vicious, so she thought there would be a fierce battle.

She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “I was ready to do battle, but I didn’t expect that Fang Ruoshui didn’t fight you at all. It’s really strange.”

An Rugu called the Special Cases Management Bureau and informed Lin Weiyu about the location of the guardian artifact, then hung up the phone.

She heard Shang Yue’s question and said in a clear tone, “Fang Shangshan’s sister not only killed her husband, but also stole the guardian artifact. Fang Shangshan couldn’t bear it when her husband killed someone, and she naturally wouldn’t be able to bear to see her own sister breaking the law.”

Shang Yue thought for a long time and finally realized it; she was full of amazement, “The relationship between these two sisters is so good?”

An Rugu thought of the inseparable intimacy between the two and said, “Yes.”

Because Fang Ruoshui was also a cultivator, and so her fate was obscured to An Rugu. An Rugu could not see through Fang Ruoshui’s fate, but she could see the fate of Fang Shangshan, who was not a cultivator.

The fate of twins was often different, but it was also possible to speculate based on the fate of Fang Shangshan.

There were like two flowers blooming, on one each a branch. She was not a treacherous person by nature but unfortunately had gone astray.

Shang Yue seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, “Will she surrender in three days?”

“She will.”

… …

Sure enough, three days later, she received a strange phone call, and Fang Ruoshui’s voice came from the phone: “Fang Shangshan doesn’t want to go to the Underworld, but wants to go to you instead. Please take good care of her, thank you.

“I am now at the gate of the Special Cases Management Bureau.

“You saved my sister. In order to repay you, I will give you a word of advice. When you are curious, look up at the sky. Anything else I say would kill me.”

An Rugu wrote down this sentence and was not satisfied. “Can’t you say more? Is the love between you and your sister only worth this sentence?”

Fang Ruoshui: “…”

“Alright, let me tell you one more thing: you don’t have much time.”

An Rugu: “…”

“Why did you join Youdu?”

“Someone there told me they could help me find her.”

It was evident who ‘she’ was—there was no one else but Fang Shangshan. No wonder she turned herself in, without any sense of loyalty to Yuodu.

Fang Ruoshui didn’t continue talking and seemed ready to hang up the phone.

An Rugu seemed to have thought of something and said thoughtfully, “By the way, you aren’t Fang Ruoshui, are you?”

There was no sound coming from the phone for a long time, but the call wasn’t hung up; it was as if the person on the other side of was still listening.

After a long time, a soft voice came: “…Why do you say that?”

“You studied Lu Ban’s book, and you should be a cripple. But your legs are fine. Instead, it was your sister who was a cripple when she was alive. Did you… exchange your lives?”
