Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Priest Li dared not meet Song Fan’s eyes, avoiding her gaze, and whispered, “It’s okay.”
Upon witnessing his timidity, Meng Xia grew angrier. She couldn’t understand why everyone changed their demeanor when Song Fan was around.
Priest Li, a renowned figure in the spiritual community, carried himself with an air of superiority even within the Song Family, seemingly indifferent to Meng Xia, the adopted daughter.
Stepping forward, Meng Xia grabbed Song Fan, who was about to leave. “Sister, you can’t leave. Did you threaten Priest Li? Don’t you want him to perform the ritual for Yin Yin? Do you want her to remain restless?”
“Let go.” Song Fan stared at her coldly.
Frightened by Song Fan’s demeanor, Meng Xia quickly released her but continued, “Although you’re the Eldest Miss of the Song Family, godmother is the mistress of this family. What’s wrong with her doing things for her daughter? Yin Yin treated everyone here well; she’s also the daughter of the Song Family.”
“So?” Song Fan couldn’t be bothered with her. Despite thinking Meng Xia was somewhat intelligent, it turned out she was muddle-headed, her ploys not much better than Song Yin’s. “Look, there’s a surveillance camera above your head. It’s a recording. If I say or do anything, you can check it or call the police. ”
“You!” Meng Xia was so angry that she didn’t know what to say. Hoping to regain her position in the servants’ hearts, she wanted them to recognize her as the kind adopted daughter. However, Song Fan proved difficult to handle.
She turned to Priest Li. “Priest Li, do you think she did something to you? Why did you almost fall?”
Priest Li had calmed down, yet he dared not look up at Song Fan. He shook his head. “Miss Song didn’t do anything. It was just an accident.’
A servant standing nearby spoke softly, “Eldest Miss didn’t do anything. She didn’t say a word. Don’t accuse her.”
The other servants nodded in agreement. While the Song Family villa’s garden was vast, no one spoke during the incident. If Song Fan had said something, those nearby would have heard. The servants quickly came forward to testify. “Miss just stood there and watched for a while. She didn’t say anything.” “Eldest Miss didn’t even touch Priest Li. He took a few steps back.”
“Madam, it wasn’t Eldest Miss who did it.”
Song Fan glanced at Meng Yu and Meng Xia mockingly. “It seems you’re truly upset. Perhaps you’re hallucinating. Why not arrange for a psychiatrist? Your father knows many experts; it wouldn’t be good if his condition worsened, and he had to go to a mental hospital.’
Meng Xia wanted to retort, but Meng Yu tightly grabbed her. She understood that opposing Song Fan was pointless now.
Seeing Meng Xia’s unwilling expression, Song Fan continued, “I remember telling you that Song Yin was sent away by her closest family. It has nothing to do with me. Even if she becomes a ghost, she won’t come looking for me. Who do you think she’d look for?”
Seeing Meng Yu and Meng Xia’s expressions change, Song Fan turned around, leaving in a good mood.
When Priest Li sensed her departure, he reverted to his sage-like demeanor. “I’m sorry. I didn’t notice earlier. Let’s proceed with the ritual quickly to bring her peace.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu remembered that the main purpose was to send Song Yin away. She stood to the side with a devout expression, waiting for Priest Li to begin.
The ritual lasted until nightfall. Priest Li declined the Song Family’s hospitality and left with his entourage.
As Song Fan was about to leave, she signaled her men to step back.
“So now you’re not afraid of me?” Song Fan looked at him with doubt. Ever since she was reborn here, certain things required belief, and there were aspects she had no control over.
She could sense the fear Priest Li harbored when facing her, yet she was certain she didn’t know him.
This time, Priest Li met her gaze directly. Upon taking a deep breath, he said, “Since you’ve had the chance to come to this world, accept it as it is. Good begets good, and evil begets evil.’
Though his words weren’t entirely clear, both understood the underlying message. Song Fan hadn’t anticipated encountering a genuine Taoist priest in this day and age. She smiled and said, “Alright, thank you for your kind words.” Upon seeing Priest Li linger, she asked, “Is there something else you want to
Priest Li hesitated but, seeing no one around, spoke, “Her name isn’t Yin Yin..”
