No one else could see clearly what was going on here.
Only Gu Wuji quickly noticed that at that time, a faint white light suddenly appeared around Mr. Xia’s body. It was this light that stopped the female ghost.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Wuji rushed to Mr. Xia, stood in front of him and stared at the female ghost in front of him.
Obviously because of the passage of time, the female ghost had become more powerful than before, even making it difficult for those standing in front of her to breathe.
The appearance of the female ghost was obviously clearer, and it had reached the point where people could see it clearly, such that people around could already detect something strange.
Yes, the appearance of this female ghost was completely different from that of the woman in the portrait. If you insist on saying…
“You must be Mr. Xia’s second wife.” Gu Wuji said, and he noticed something out of the corner of his eye, and immediately winked at a place in the corner calmly.
Everyone around was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. After all, the second lady died tragically, so it was not surprising that she turned into a ghost.
Mr. Xia’s expression was very complicated, as if he felt lost but also very guilty.
The female ghost probably thought that Gu Wuji was no longer a threat because of her sudden increase in strength. So, she immediately looked over with a sneer and said, “This kind of thing is meaningless… Even if you know about it, it would not have any impact on me. However, I’m curious about how you knew.”
“I saw it before,” Gu Wuji said with a somewhat complicated expression, “Seeing those memories of yours really surprised me. The situation was actually like that…”
The people around him were stunned, not keeping up with the conversation between them at all. Gu Wuji knew something that they didn’t know.
“Is it not all his fault!” When the female ghost heard Gu Wuji’s words, her face turned cold immediately, and her eyes turned extremely fierce when she looked at Mr. Xia. “He married that woman and said that he should treat her well now. How could I forgive such behavior?”
No one expected that they could still hear such explosive gossip until now. There was always a sense of family ethics drama in a supernatural thriller set. It felt like a drama, but the person telling the gossip was a female ghost who looked very scary… This feeling of being afraid and wanting to watch the gossip was also a very novel experience for them.
When Mr. Xia heard what the female ghost said, his expression immediately became bitter, “I’m sorry for you. Everything was my fault. I had decided to live a good life with her. You should have been able to pursue your own new life… Even if you want to kill me now, I will have no complaints.”
What happened back then was really bloody. It was probably a story about a family heir who entered into a business marriage to save the family, but unexpectedly developed a true relationship with the marriage partner.
“Do you think you can solve the problem with such light words?” The female ghost sneered and said, her words full of joy, “Everything I said at the beginning was all a lie. The child in my belly was not conceived because of an accident after being drunk. It was fake from the beginning. It was just a ghost I raised with my own body… Why do you think that woman committed suicide?”
Hearing of feeding ghosts with her body, several people present immediately looked at Xia Xi and the masked man behind him, Xia Xi had a look of surprise on his face, saying that he had no idea about it. As for the man behind him, he just shook his head.
Although everyone had suspicions, there was no evidence… Besides, it seemed that no one in the Bai family had really revealed such things against outsiders.
“What, what did you say?” Mr. Xia had a look of astonishment on his face. He suddenly realized that what happened back then was completely different from what he thought was the truth.
Although Mr. Xia was very smart in business back then, he was completely indecisive emotionally. Although he said he had decided to separate from his childhood sweetheart, the other party was shocked by the incident and went to a bar to get drunk. When she woke up, she didn’t know who she had sex with, and she actually became pregnant afterwards.
Mr. Xia believed that this incident was all caused by him, so in order to preserve the reputation of the other party, he claimed that he had done it. He originally wanted to explain to his wife afterwards, but who knew that his wife would commit suicide in the house not long after, leaving him still feeling guilty.
Originally, he just wanted to see his wife’s ghost again before he died, but who would have thought that the ghost that had been haunting him all this time was actually his childhood sweetheart.
This was what shocked Gu Wuji before. After all, he was just looking at the memories of a female ghost, but he actually saw something so exciting… This female ghost had also risked her life to take revenge on Mr. Xia.
In the memory, the female ghost said something to a man with a blurry face before her death. Gu Wuji noticed at that time that the feeling this man gave him was the same as what the ghost saw on the TV in the bar.
“This matter has spanned decades, and this man is still here. He may not be a human at all.” Gu Wuji thought to himself, “Could he also be a high-level player? But high-level players can live for such a long time. Is it…”
After that, the female ghost used some special means to raise a ghost in her body and hit Mr. Xia’s wife. The ghost took this opportunity to possess his wife and made her commit suicide that night.
Of course, everyone would think that the wife could not bear the blow and committed suicide…
As for the sudden death of the female ghost on the wedding night, it was also because the ghost could not be held down with her body and finally bit back the owner.
It must have been very miserable when the female ghost died. He didn’t even know how much impact it would have had on Mr. Xia at that time. He had not had any psychological shadow yet only because his psychological quality was good enough.
The female ghost wandered around the villa unwillingly and was finally sealed in the portrait. It was only today that it was released due to some relationship.
“Using other people’s bodies to raise ghosts, and then taking away the ghosts after causing tragedy. This attitude is even more like watching a play. He didn’t have to use this method from the beginning, but he only did such things because he found it interesting. Come on…” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but frown. Even someone like him, who was very casual about everything, felt disgusted with that man.
Everyone else was also stunned by the truth.
After the female ghost said everything happily, she immediately looked at Mr. Xia in front of her and sneered: “Don’t you really want to die with that woman? But I tell you, don’t be delusional. You will only be killed now. I’ll kill you!”
After the words fell, the female ghost became inhuman, her body became twisted, covered with blood, and there were hideous wounds everywhere, as she attacked directly at the people in front of her.
Several other masters had already secretly prepared to take action when they heard her speak. At this time, they brought various talismans up to them, but they couldn’t even get close to the female ghost.
At this critical moment, Gu Wuji suddenly took out the rope and restrained the female ghost who was close at hand. However, the quality of the rope was too low, and within a moment there were signs of collapse.
Gu Wuji took a deep breath and said to someone behind him, “Give me that thing!”
Suddenly a black shadow jumped out from behind and threw a bloody doll directly into Gu Wuji’s hands.
The black shadow ghost had been back since the beginning. Gu Wuji also noticed it hiding in the dark, and that’s why he was entangled with the female ghost here. In fact, he had actually made the black shadow ghost look for suspicious things around.
Fortunately, this female ghost thought she was infallible, and she had rarely found a chance to talk for decades. She actually talked for so long, and this allowed the black shadow ghost to successfully find the doll.
“You actually -” The expression of the previously unscrupulous female ghost suddenly changed, and she immediately ignored Mr. Xia and immediately wanted to kill Gu Wuji.
The rope that originally bound the female ghost completely turned into ashes and disappeared. This prop could be considered completely scrapped like this.
“It’s too late.” Without any hesitation, Gu Wuji closed his eyes and used the purification technique on the doll in front of him.
The doll, which was originally stained with blood and looked very weird, began to slowly clear up the blood stains on its body, and finally became cute and normal, as if it was just an ordinary doll.
Gu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the female ghost was not that strong originally and was within the range that he could forcibly purify. However, the strength displayed by the other party was already too strong, making the purification technique useless.
He had had this idea before, that it would save trouble if this prop could really be used for purification… Otherwise, he would still have to worry about how to deal with the female ghost.
The female ghost continued to scream in agony as the doll was being purified. Finally, her body returned to its original human form, then she still turned into a point of light and dissipated unwillingly.
The black shadow ghost secretly returned to Gu Wuji when no one was paying attention. Because the situation was so chaotic, no one noticed that the doll was actually thrown to Gu Wuji by a ghost. They thought it was thrown by a servant from the villa.
Gu Wuji still remembered that the things here were man-made, but there were too many people in the hall, and he couldn’t see anyone looking strange when he looked around.
“Think about it, who would act openly when doing something like this?”
Everyone’s eyes changed when they looked at Gu Wuji.
When other people said that this unspectacular woman was some kind of worldly expert, it turned out to be true. Before although they said nothing on the surface, they disagreed in their hearts. They felt that Gu Wuji did not have the temperament of a master at all. It was probably all business talk.
But she was actually so powerful! What kind of master was this?
With a complicated look on his face, Mr. Xia asked Gu Wuji, “Did she disappear?”
“Fortunately, I just purified her… I should say she was saved.” Gu Wuji explained.
How could he be such a cruel person! Of course, those who can be purified should be treated with purification.
“That’s good.” Mr. Xia sighed. Even though he learned that he was deceived in the first place, he still thought that he should take most of the responsibility… Of course, in fact, it could be said that part of his relationship was involved.
Gu Wuji didn’t feel anything about this, he just became more determined to never find a partner.
Mr. Xia seemed to remember something and his eyes were very disappointed, “It was really hard on you this time. Originally I thought I could see her. But after thinking about it, she probably doesn’t want to see me again.”
“No.” After thinking for a while, Gu Wuji said, “The lady has always been by your side… The reason why the female ghost couldn’t hurt you before was because the lady was guarding you secretly.”
He had also noticed the white light. It was only now that the old man noticed the truth behind the faint white light.
Mr. Xia was startled for a moment, and after his expression changed several times, he finally felt relieved, “Thank you so much. It turns out that she has always been by my side… but I never noticed it.”
Everyone around him also looked moved.
