198: Chapter 198 The True Little Fairy

Even a Corpse-Free Immortal has appeared.

What about other practitioners?

What about the legendary Qi Refiners?

Will they also pop up at some unexpected time?

Han Jingyang took a deep breath and sat back on the sofa, holding the scissors.

However, he wasn't overly worried.

Because even if there truly were other practitioners, they couldn't escape the fundamental nature of this world; specifically, their foundation would be Qi.

And since he could perform Qi Observation and directly observe the existence of Qi, those practitioners would never have any secrets in his eyes.

Just like Wang Wei.

Ordinary people couldn't even detect her existence, including those from the Bureau of Religious Affairs.

Impressive, right?

She really did succeed in her corpse-free transcendence. As long as these scissors weren't damaged, Wang Wei would continue to exist, which could be considered a form of transcending the shackles of the physical body.

But in front of him, she was just like an ordinary person; her threat to him was even less than that of a normal human.

Of course, it wasn't ruled out that Wang Wei's cultivation was just subpar and her strength too weak.

But ultimately, one had to follow the basic laws of cultivation.

Even someone like him who had a cheat couldn't do without Qi.

His dharma instruments would be nothing but ordinary objects without Qi.

Therefore, he wasn't worried at all that those practitioners would possess the strength to move mountains or pluck the stars and moon like the immortals in legends.

He still believed that Wang Wei's so-called corpse-free state fell within the scope of metaphysics.

Thinking this, he pointed to the rattan chair for Wang Wei: "Sit. I'm not from the authorities; I was commissioned by a friend to find the real culprit. As long as my friend can escape his prison sentence, nothing else matters."

"Really?"

"Yes. Do you have a way?"

"I can get her convicted," Wang Wei said, but before her voice faded, the woman in white suddenly stood up and returned to her original rigid appearance.

Han Jingyang walked up to the woman in white with great interest and observed her closely. After a moment, he asked, "How did she come to be?"

The woman in white instantly came to life as Wang Wei possessed her again: "I made her."

"Made her?"

"Yes. I made her for self-defense and to help with the cleaning. Back then, I watched Sadako, so I made her look like that. She's quite useful, though I didn't expect that in the end, I'd have to rely on her to move around. If it weren't for her, I could only stay inside the scissors until I withered away. Thinking about those days is painful."

Han Jingyang was even more interested: "How did you do it?"

"I'm not entirely sure myself, but it should be related to its original form. When I found it, it was very special and could touch physical objects. Then, using the spirit-channeling technique my mother taught me, I took it into a dharma instrument to slowly refine it. It became the form I wanted, but it also lost its spirituality, becoming a marionette that only listens to my commands."

"Then you're quite lucky."

"And also quite unlucky to have become like this in the prime of my life."

"Be content. At least you haven't completely vanished. Besides, by following me, there might be a turning point in the future."

Wang Wei froze for a moment: "You... you want me to follow you?"

Han Jingyang countered, "Do you have an objection?"

Wang Wei immediately became terrified: "No, I'm very happy."

As she spoke, she even squeezed out a big smile.

To be honest, after being possessed by Wang Wei, this woman in white looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Han Jingyang was satisfied: "Change your hairstyle later; this one is too ugly."

"Okay."

"Also, explain the relationship between you, Wang Binbin, and Wang Xiaoyong, and then think of a way to help my friend clear his name."

"Your friend?"

"The young contractor who helped Wang Xiaoyong renovate the house, Ye Fei."

"Him," Wang Wei hesitated, "that might be a bit difficult to handle."

"Why?"

"I... I did it on purpose."

"Hmm?"

"Who told him to order people to smash my home? He didn't even stop when I gave him a warning, and only left after you came by. Later, I saw him getting into a dispute with Wang Xiaoyong, so I took the opportunity after their argument to scare Wang Xiaoyong to death. It was a seamless plan; he couldn't explain it away even if he had a hundred mouths."

Han Jingyang was speechless.

This female ghost was truly devious.

Ye Fei was truly unlucky to have run into this.

But it's fine now. I just need to have this puppet put on a show. As long as it's confirmed that Wang Xiaoyong's cause of death has nothing to do with Ye Fei, the mission is complete. The rest of that mess has nothing to do with me.

Even if I want to know more, I can let Wang Wei tell me slowly later.

With the scissors in hand, I'm not afraid of this female ghost not telling the truth.

Wait, I can't call her a female ghost; I have to call her a little fairy. She's a Corpse-Free Immortal after all.

Han Jingyang and Wang Wei chatted for over half an hour. Finally, he asked once more: "Are you truly willing to come with me?"

Wang Wei nodded: "I am."

What if she wasn't?

Could she escape or resist?

There was only one answer to this question.

Han Jingyang glanced around the spotless room and sighed: "I'm starting to like this place; it's so clean."

Wang Wei shook her head: "It's time for a clean break. Besides, I didn't stay here because I liked it, but because I had no choice. It's been that way from the start. Except for those flowers, there isn't a single thing I like."

Han Jingyang nodded: "We'll talk about the past later. Let's solve the current matter first."

"Okay."

"I'm calling the police over."

"Mhm, I will cooperate."

Han Jingyang leaned out and shouted, "Come on up!"

Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya quickly rushed upstairs.

Liu Jing looked around alertly.

Shi Xiaoya, however, gave a charming smile: "Boss, I heard you talking. Who is it? Wang Wei?"

"Yes," Han Jingyang said to Wang Wei, "The two of you should get to know each other. You both used to be He Dingkun's people, so you should have a lot to talk about."

Wang Wei controlled the woman in white to slowly manifest.

Liu Jing quickly drew her blade.

Shi Xiaoya shook her head: "You're not Wang Wei."

Wang Wei sighed: "Shi Xiaoya, I admire your courage, but you aren't very smart."

Shi Xiaoya's expression changed slightly. "On the very day you approached He Dingkun, your background was thoroughly investigated. He Dingkun knew from the start that you were the daughter of his enemy. But he enjoyed that cat-and-mouse feeling, and he was certain of your desire to kill his whole family. So he kept you under his thumb, giving you hope but never giving you a real chance to strike. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have taken you with him when he died, telling you the truth at the last moment. Tell me, aren't you pitiful?"

Shi Xiaoya stood up abruptly and roared, "Impossible!"

Wang Wei shook her head: "Nothing is impossible. He told me this himself. He also said that while you're stupid, you're quite diligent in your work, making you the most convenient assistant he's ever used. Otherwise, he would have given you to Liu San long ago."

After saying that, she suddenly asked, "Is He Dingkun dead? Otherwise, you couldn't have left him to follow Mr. Han."

Han Jingyang patted the distraught Shi Xiaoya and said to Wang Wei: "He Dingkun is close to death, but not quite gone. He's been on the brink several times but was resuscitated. He's got a tough life."

Wang Wei hurriedly said: "Go to Dongpo Village and tear down that Octagonal Building. There's an underground palace beneath it, and in that palace is a bronze tripod. Inside the tripod is a small figure and a few talismans. Burn them with fire, and He Dingkun will surely die. He's relying entirely on that Feng Shui array to keep him alive."

Han Jingyang shook his head: "It's already been burned. Your father burned the tower, and I burned the paper talismans."

"Ah?"
