Arrogant and self-righteous Netherflame

  The little girl looked at her own corpse, not knowing if it was because the soul became weak after death or if she had been like that when she was alive. In any case, seeing me made her smile fade away and she lowered her head in sorrow.

  Ming Yan naturally walked towards the little girl, placing his hand on her head and gently stroking to comfort her. He looked up at me with eyes full of pity and sympathy, saying: "This child is carrying an unjust burden, and before the real culprit can be found, there's no way for her to reincarnate!"

  I looked at Ming Yan with a strange expression, my hands clasped together in front of my chest as I raised an eyebrow. "How did you know? Isn't it said that life and death are predetermined by fate? If her fate was already sealed, why bother lingering in the mortal realm? Wouldn't it be better to just arrange for her reincarnation?"

  Ming Yan and the little girl looked at each other, embarrassed to say: "I'm not sure about this either. Anyway, people who died unjustly are stuck between the yin and yang realms, wandering without leaving. Only after washing away the injustice or waiting for the person who killed them to die can they have a chance to reincarnate. I am also such a ghost, only now staying in this world due to some other reasons."

  I stood tired, so I pulled over a chair and listened to him talk in detail. Scratching my nose and looking at him and then at the little girl, it seemed like two ghosts had attached themselves to me?

  He raised his legs and glanced at Ming Yan with a slanted gaze, then smiled and asked the little girl: "So, little sister, you're not waiting in the underworld for your enemy to die, what's the purpose of finding me?"

  The little girl looked up at Ming Yan with a timid gaze, and only after the latter nodded did she open her mouth. "I went to tell Dad about my dream, but he just thought it was his guilty conscience playing tricks on him. I had no choice but to ask for your help, sister, because you can see me and aren't afraid of me. I have no other way out, so..."

  I rolled my eyes and stood up, knowing it would be like this. When something unusual happens to someone, it's definitely not normal. The calm days I've had before don't mean it'll always be that way.

  But I don't think this is what a little girl would think, a little girl like her wouldn't understand so much and would just be left bewildered in this world. The reason she found me must be because of that self-righteous guy by her side, it's the result of their collusion.

  But facing this innocent girl, I really don't want to hurt her and say something that makes her uncomfortable. But facing Ming Yan, I have no good temper.

  What gratitude, all nonsense. Giving me trouble is more like it.

  I let out a deep sigh, and after being able to touch Ming Yan last time, I tried putting my hand on the little girl's shoulder again, and surprisingly, I could really feel her soul! I was secretly amazed, but on the surface, I calmly said to her: "Little sister, I don't want you to be embarrassed, but my answer is no. Because I'm just an ordinary girl, at most a bit special, able to see things that others can't. This special physique isn't something I wanted, and I don't have the ability to help you. Whoever gave you this idea today, go find them, but absolutely don't come bother me again, goodbye!"

  They were stunned, not expecting me to reject them so bluntly. But what I said was the truth, apart from being a medium, I'm just an ordinary person. How could someone like me, with no power or influence, possibly investigate the truth?

  It's better to keep a low profile and avoid getting entangled in troubles. That's the way to survive in this society. Besides, it seems like my uncle doesn't want me to get involved in all that either, or else he wouldn't have supported me in doing this line of work, which is like avoiding trouble.

  I knew Ming Yan was following me from behind, so I deliberately walked to a place where there were no people and made things clear with him.

  At the entrance of the alley, I stopped in my tracks and glared at him coldly. This guy had a big nerve, I had told him not to disturb my life, but he actually took it upon himself to cause me trouble! But now he looked like a mouse seeing a cat.

  Biting back his anger, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and tried to speak as calmly as possible. Leaning against the stair railing, he pulled off his gloves and said, "Consider this my request, Mr. Ming Yan. You'd better find another job. This small temple really can't accommodate a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva like you."

  I'm just an ordinary person, I don't want to work here, but you've seen it too, I need to live and feed my family. Seeing ghosts isn't what I wanted either, but all I can do is take care of myself, so please stop always taking the initiative to find trouble for me?"

  "Sorry, Xiao Yue. I... Everyone calls me that and follows suit, no matter what, it's better than being called that benefactor or master."

  His handsome face was struggling, his fists clenched tightly. "I, can't leave, because your blood has merged into my bones, you are my master!"

  Skeleton? Could it be...
