Ruan Fuxi spoke directly, almost trampling on Ye's dignity. Ye had held a high position for many years, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that, especially not a young woman.
Despite the presence of Sheng Yanzhou, Ye couldn't help but darken his expression. "Miss Ruan, this is my family matter," he said, implying that she was an outsider and had no right to intervene.
Ruan Fuxi chuckled lightly. "From your appearance, it seems you're haunted by resentful spirits, suffering from the five labors and seven injuries. Your life is short; surely you know you're nearing your end. That must weigh heavily on your mind, Mr. Ye."
Ye was somewhat taken aback. He had initially thought her young and inexperienced, but it turned out she had some insight after all. However, what did that matter? The two masters from the Mountain Sect had assured him they could resolve his current issues and secure the Ye family's wealth.
"Miss Ruan has a keen eye," he replied curtly.
Ruan Fuxi continued, "You've been in business for many years and have committed your share of sins. Now, it's merely retribution coming back to you. You've likely invited many masters to solve your problems; being as clever as you are, why not guess why they all refuse your requests?"
Ye's expression darkened further. What other reason could there be? It was simply that this was his fate; if they intervened, it would be akin to defying heaven and altering destiny, which would cost them their own blessings. That's why they dared not take on his case.
"Miss Ruan needn't elaborate; the two masters from the Mountain Sect are well aware of this," he said dismissively.
Ruan Fuxi scrutinized him for a moment and then said with a tsk, "If you truly wish to escape your current predicament, all you need to do is tear down the building and bury your wife properly—let dust return to dust. That would be the best solution. But Mr. Ye, you're too greedy; you want to preserve both your life and the Ye family's fortune, so you refuse to demolish the building because you believe wealth will vanish with it, correct?"
Ye's complexion was grim, and Ruan Fuxi was absolutely right. That was the truth of the matter. Hearing this, Ye Ling looked at her father's expression and realized there was nothing left to misunderstand. Disappointed, she pointed at her father and said, "Dad, just tear down this building and let Mom rest in peace. Our Ye family is already wealthy enough!"
Ye shot her a disapproving glare. "What do you know? I must have spoiled you too much." If it weren't for her, how could there be so many disturbances in the heavens?
Ye Bin couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. The more dissatisfied their father was with Ye Ling, the more he would inherit in terms of property and wealth.
At that moment, Tong and Zhu had already reached the fountain altar, seemingly preparing to perform a ritual. Ruan Fuxi narrowed her eyes upon seeing this. "Are you planning to trap each other's souls here forever, preventing her from ever transcending?"
Tong scoffed at her words. "Just a vengeful spirit. It’s already merciful of us not to scatter her soul into oblivion. What does it matter if she’s trapped here?"
She wouldn’t even regard a ghost as worthy of her attention; doing so was already a form of grace from her.
Ruan Fuxi replied coldly, "The other party died with resentment; being trapped here for so many years is already pitiful enough. You still want to confine her forever?"
Tong retorted, "So what?"
Ruan Fuxi responded icily, "It’s nothing much, just that I can’t stand you abusing your identity to act recklessly. Justice exists in this world; even those from the Mystical Sect cannot act without restraint. Ye Ling's mother did nothing wrong—why should she be trapped beneath this building after death? Tong's actions are simply tarnishing the reputation of those from the Mystical Sect."
Moreover, having accepted Ye Ling's request, it was only right to protect her mother as well.
At this moment, Zhu raised his head upon hearing the words.
You little girl, you certainly have quite the attitude.
