“My heart is filled with anger and disappointment. A living, breathing person is just… gone. And those who killed Xiaoru received only the slightest punishment.

“Some of them even started fighting cocks and racing dogs in the capital again after only half a month, bullying men and women. Everything was just like before. I even suspect that they don't even remember the face and name of the poor girl they killed not long ago.

“So, unwilling to accept this, I went to Imperial Censor Tu again, wanting him to help investigate whether the Imperial Censors who handled this case had perverted justice for bribes. But I was met with Imperial Censor Tu refusing to see me.

“I decided to do it myself. However, I had lived a very carefree life for the previous twenty years, afraid of hard work and unwilling to practice martial arts. My secret power cultivation was also three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Now, I only know one illusion spell.

“And my enemies are all from extraordinary backgrounds, with many guards and martial arts masters in their families, even martial arts experts. It was from that time that I decided to turn over a new leaf and start cultivating properly. But just half a year after I devoted myself to cultivation, I didn't expect to see Xiaoru again.”

“She turned into a Wraith?”

“That's right, but I didn't know it at the time. In fact, even if I knew, I wouldn't have cared. But what confused me was that she didn't seem to recognize me anymore.”

“I saw her outside a restaurant. She was wearing a very thin piece of clothing, and she was soaked.

“Soon, a drunkard who had been drinking came down from upstairs. That person was one of the constables who had molested her by the river that day. I saw Xiaoru beckon to him, but that person didn't seem to recognize Xiaoru and walked over with a smirk.

“Xiaoru led him into a small alley next to him. I was worried about Xiaoru's safety, so I hurriedly followed him. However, they were no longer in that alley.

“And the next day, I heard people say that someone had fallen into the water last night. As a result, another month passed, and the Shangqing Che Duwei mansion suddenly held a funeral, and the deceased was the young man who had entered the alley with Xiaoru that day.”

“Seven days later, Cao Bin, the eldest son of the Right Counselor, also died. The cause of death was also catching a cold after falling into the water. I was very excited… I was already able to confirm that Xiaoru had indeed returned.”

“I wanted to see her, wanted to confide in her, tell her how much I missed her, but I needed to find her first. Then I heard that the fourth son of Scholar Feng had also fallen into the water inexplicably recently.

“So I guarded outside the Feng mansion… As a result, exactly thirty days after he fell into the water, I saw Xiaoru again. She was still wearing that wet clothes, looking lonely.

“But it doesn't matter, I have found her, and I won't let her be so lonely anymore. I rushed to her, but after she saw me, she was indifferent. No matter what I said, she didn't respond at all.

“Moreover, when I pestered her too much, she impatiently pushed me away. At this moment, I saw a black shadow窜 rushing out from the Feng mansion.

“A sword slashed at Xiaoru, Xiaoru's expression immediately became hideous, and she fought with that person. That person's martial arts were very good, but what surprised me even more was that he could also cast spells, just like me.

“The words that Mr. Ji had mentioned to me before appeared in my mind, so I blurted out the Department of Celestial Observation.

“The man heard these three words and looked back at me, and asked me with some surprise, do you know us?

“But before I could answer, he said again, let's talk about something else after I clean up this Wraith first.

“I was very anxious after hearing this, and shouted at him, don't hurt Xiaoru, Xiaoru is innocent, those people harmed her first!

“The man sighed after hearing what I said, I know about her affairs, but now she has become a Wraith, and if she is left alone, more people will be harmed.

“I refused to accept it, saying that it was their just deserts.

“The man was probably annoyed by what I said, so he said that the Department of Celestial Observation only cares about dealing with Wraiths and doesn't care about other things.”

“So I started to curse the Department of Celestial Observation for not distinguishing between right and wrong and helping the wicked, and also told Xiaoru to run away quickly. At that time, I was ready to take action, but I didn't expect that the man had a companion.

“Sneak attack from behind, directly tapped the acupoints on my body, making me unable to move.

“I watched helplessly as they then attacked Xiaoru together, injured Xiaoru with spells, and then tied Xiaoru with chains, only feeling like I was about to burst with anger.

“I don't understand, why, why is it that the people who did bad things are those people, but in the end, good people are hurt every time!

“Moreover, after the man caught Xiaoru, he walked over to me, pried open my mouth, and even fed me five large bowls of tea.

“My head soon became dizzy, and I vaguely heard the man say to me, go to sleep, and you will be able to forget all the unhappy things after you wake up.

“However, I didn't want to forget, I didn't want to forget Xiaoru, she was still waiting for me to save her. But I couldn't control my eyelids, and slowly closed them.

“And when I woke up again, I really forgot all the things that had happened in the past month and a half, as the man said, and didn't remember that Xiaoru had ever come back.

“I spent three years in such a daze, until I met Mr. Ji again. As soon as he met me, he stared at me, and then said to me, you seem to have lost something, do you need me to help you get it back?

“I asked him what it was, but he didn't answer me, just poured wine into my bowl, let me drink it, and then took me to see a play. When the play was over, my tears suddenly welled up from my eyes.

“Because I finally remembered what I had forgotten three years ago, and then I bowed to Mr. Ji and begged him to help me rescue Xiaoru.

“But he shook his head and said that the Wraith I was looking for was no longer in this world.”
