The consciousness of these female ghosts was overwhelmed by the overwhelming resentment, leaving only a primal hatred driving them to repeat their actions continuously.

Xiao Yu walked over lightly and approached the small house. Through the small window, he looked inside where there was a middle-aged man in his forties with a horizontal knife scar running across his face lying on a single-person hardboard bed watching TV.

Every time this man laughed, the scar on his face would resemble a centipede twisting and crawling, an extremely fierce and terrifying sight to behold.

The middle-aged man with the knife scar emitted a thick aura of malevolence. Whenever those female ghosts swooped down within one meter of him, they would instantly recoil upon encountering this malevolent energy as if they had come into contact with sulfuric acid, rising smoke and emitting a shrill scream. These retreating female ghosts wouldn't be long before charging in again.

Witnessing all this, Xiao Yu frowned; initially, he thought there might be some talisman within the house that could restrain spirits, but it turned out to only be this single individual. This person was solely relying on his aura of malevolence to fend off these ghosts, proving the saying about evil men being feared by spirits was not baseless.

However, doubts arose in Xiao Yu's heart; why would these ghosts act this way What kind of resentment could make them behave like this! Could it be...

As if to confirm his thoughts, Xiao Yu looked back inside the house and at the middle-aged man with the knife scar lying on the bed. Indeed, threads of bloodlight flashed within the malevolent aura surrounding him, forming a blood-curse.

Indeed, it was no wonder these female ghosts always returned empty-handed; initially, Xiao Yu thought it was solely due to his aura of malevolence, but now he realized there was more. These female ghosts must have died at the hands of this man and were brutally tortured before their death, hence they instinctively feared him. Coupled with encountering a blood-curse bearing traces of their own blood, these factors led to them repeatedly charging down yet failing to affect the middle-aged man.

At this moment, a boundless surge of fury welled up within Xiao Yu's heart; this person was even more deserving of death than a great demon. With a grim expression, he stared at the middle-aged man inside the house and raised his hand as if to form a seal, but suddenly noticed these female ghosts driven solely by primal instinct.

Looking at these spirits driven only by their instincts, Xiao Yu gently shook his head and thought, Since you are so determined, I shall help you achieve your goal!

Xiao Yu also knew that these ghosts, due to their extreme unwillingness to die, harbored immense resentment. This resentment had wrapped around the death qi that merged with their essence and spirit at the moment of death; without this death qi, the ghost gate wouldn’t open, which is why they lingered in the human world. Moreover, their consciousness was already obscured by their resentment, leaving only a desire for vengeance. Only by eliminating their resentment could these ghosts re-enter the netherworld through the ghost gate.

Xiao Yu’s left hand gently moved in the air, forming and merging intricate patterns until a complex incantation was complete.

The Cleansing Curse — also a basic spell, usually used to dispel accumulated yin煞 (malediction) qi, but now Xiao Yu was using it to clear the violent and blood qi from the scarred man, making good use of its properties.

"Release!"

Xiao Yu mentally shouted as he lightly pushed his hands in mid-air; the Cleansing Curse floated towards the scarred man and instantly vanished into him. As soon as it entered, the scarred man seemed to sense something and involuntarily shivered.

Standing outside the window, Xiao Yu observed the violent and blood qi on the man dissipate gradually. Soon enough, all of it had disappeared from his body.

"Ahhh..." The ghosts floating in the sky sensed something and let out a series of excited howls, diving down to enter the scarred man's body.

Shortly after, the scarred man emitted a piercing scream that remained silent. Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned; he had been worried about sound escaping but there was none.

Xiao Yu took a closer look at the small house and noticed four soundproof devices installed in each corner of the room. He surmised these must have been put there to prevent any screams from victims, leading to this unexpected result: even the soundproofing had become an accomplice to the scarred man's demise.

Xiao Yu watched inside the house as the man alternated between sobbing and howling wildly, scratching himself until his body was bloody, banging his head against a wall.

“Ahhh…” Suddenly, from within the silent room came a faint yet desperate cry. It turned out that despite his intense unwillingness, the scarred man seemed to be unable to control himself and had dug out one of his eyeballs with his hands. The other eye was filled with terror and despair, blood pouring from the empty socket.

Xiao Yu didn't continue watching and quietly left. Perhaps this was the best outcome for him.

Xiao Yu took a taxi back to his rental house, crossed his legs, sat down, calmed himself, and began practicing the Righteousness Mantra. When Xiao Yu woke from his meditation, it was starting to get light outside.

After washing up, he hailed a cab to Wanhong Tower. By the time he arrived, it was already bright morning. Standing in front of Wanhong Tower, Xiao Yu noticed everything seemed normal—nothing out of place. He frowned slightly and entered the grand hall where Wei Jun and others were chatting merrily as if last night's drinking session had brought them closer.

In reality, they all knew that their ability to socialize was entirely due to Xiao Yu; otherwise, with Zhong Tao’s arrogant temperament and his friends’, how could they possibly be on such friendly terms with someone whose father ran a small business and another whose father only held a deputy ministerial position Wei Jun and Chen Qing were especially aware that without Xiao Yu, they wouldn't have the qualifications to chat so amicably with these sons of privilege from Beijing.

Given their statuses, they understood that it was almost impossible for someone from a lower social circle to break into a higher one unless they had some form of leverage or backing. Fortunately, they had Xiao Yu; thus, they quickly gained acceptance within Zhong Tao's small clique.

"Xiao Yu, over here!" Just as Xiao Yu entered the hall, Wei Jun spotted him and called out.

Hearing Wei Jun’s voice, Zhong Tao and others also saw Xiao Yu and stood up. As soon as Xiao Yu approached, Zhong Tao hurriedly said, "Doctor Xiao, you haven't eaten breakfast yet! Have some first."

Seeing Zhong Tao's behavior, Hanbo Li and others were taken aback; although they had witnessed this the previous night, seeing it again left them speechless with wide eyes.

This was the same person who in Beijing’s high society was considered among the top rascals or young lords. In his generation, Zhong Tao had never acted so subserviently before anyone; Xiao Yu was the sole exception. After waking up that morning, they all asked Zhong Tao about Xiao Yu's background, and he merely replied, "This person saved my grandfather’s life!" That alone stunned them into silence.

Even though he was hungry, Xiao Yu didn’t hesitate to eat breakfast after spending over 30,000 yuan yesterday. As he ate, his phone rang, displaying Fang Yuan's name; picking up the call, he said, "Hello, General Manager Fang"

"It’s me, Young Brother Xiao. Your storefront is ready. When can you come to take a look" came the voice from the other end.

"Are you done I'll come and take a look then!" Upon hearing that the storefront was ready, Xiao Yu was also very happy. This way, he could finally retrieve his custom-made medicine cabinets.

Xiao Yu's medicine cabinets were already finished yesterday. They called him to pick them up but since Xiao Yu didn't have room for storage temporarily, he postponed it and told the other party that he would come by in two days. He never expected that less than a day later, everything was done.

Zhong Tao heard Xiao Yu's phone call and knowing that he had something to do said, "Doctor Xiao, if you're busy, we'll be heading back to the capital today. I’ll definitely come when your clinic opens!"

"Alright then, I won't keep you any longer," After saying this, Xiao Yu hurriedly started his breakfast.

"Doctor Xiao, in the afternoon, I will deliver the license over!" Li Hanbo quickly said. He had kept Xiao Yu's license for a few days now and he didn’t want to be remembered unfavorably by Xiao Yu.

"Thank you, Director Li! But let me go and pick it up," After thinking about it, Xiao Yu said. He knew that Li Hanbo did this because of Zhong Tao but Xiao Yu did not wish to get too entangled with them.

"No no, there’s no way we can make Doctor Xiao run an extra trip! It's due to our negligence in work that has affected the plans for your clinic. We should be the ones to deliver it," Upon hearing Xiao Yu say he would go and pick it up, Zhong Tao quickly said this while fearing another refusal from Xiao Yu, spouting a lot of official language.

"Alright then! It’s just too much trouble for Director Li!" Hearing what Li Hanbo said, Xiao Yu knew that he couldn’t refuse any longer so he replied.

"Doctor Xiao is being too courteous," Li Hanbo said. But in his heart, he thought to himself, ‘How dare I let you go and get it I’ve already delayed for a few days now. If I were to make him pick it up again, not even Zhong Tao would be able to overlook this matter, let alone the Old Master. Should the Old Master find out later on and casually mention these officials when he sees them, it’s enough trouble for their father-son duo.

As Xiao Yu ate his breakfast, he quietly thought about what happened last night. He turned his head to look around but the staff at Wanxiang Tower did not show any signs of panic or nervousness. This left him rather puzzled; had they yet to discover anything That shouldn’t be possible!

After pondering over this for quite some time, Xiao Yu still couldn't figure out why nothing was discovered until now. He thought, it’s no matter, after all, he is a cursed person.ectangular dimensions.After placing the wooden box on the table, he gently pressed both sides with his hands, causing a soft click sound as it opened.The elder's hand movements caused two small thin d...
