His drastic change stunned Lu Dahua and Madam Liu. Even the villagers watching the scene from outside were shocked.
When Lu Sheng saw the black and white objects in the courtyard, her smile gradually disappeared and her expression became complicated.
The black one was the soul of Madam He, the original Lu Sheng’s mother. Because of the intense resentment within her, Madam He’s soul was black.

The white object was the original Lu Sheng’s soul.
Madam He’s soul was standing behind Lu Dahua and Madam Liu, glaring at them with a twisted expression.
On the other hand, the original Lu Sheng’s soul was standing at the side. Her head was drooped down, and she looked a little lost.

Since only three days had passed, she still did not know that she had already died.
“Because of karma, everything that you’ve done will be exposed. Watch your backs.”
After speaking, the priest angrily left.

Lu Sheng glanced at him, then at the two souls with a complicated expression.
She took out a talisman. Closing her eyes, she recited, “Your discipline Lu Sheng met two wandering souls today. May the deities help me redeem their souls and let them rest in peace!”

As she recited, the two souls transformed into black and white wisps and flew toward the talisman Lu Sheng was holding.
The original Lu Sheng’s soul was confused, and she was immediately sucked into the talisman.
However, Madam He’s soul kept resisting. She was unwilling to enter the talisman.
Her pathetic cries were filled with indignation.
However, when she opened her eyes and saw Lu Sheng, she was stunned.
Lu Sheng smiled at her. “Go without worries. I’ll take revenge for you.”
When Madam He heard that, her completely black eyes regained their color, and the black aura around her gradually dissipated.
She too entered the talisman. Lu Sheng then placed the talisman back into her space bracelet.
After they had absorbed the spiritual energy inside, she would send them to the wheel of life for them to be reborn.
After the priest left, Lu Dahua, Madam Liu, and Lu Ning’s faces became pale.

All the villagers outside were puzzled.
They did not know what the priest meant by those words.
However, with nothing else to see, everyone dispersed after a short while. They were also scared of getting bad luck from them.
“Mother, Mother! What should we do?”
Lu Ning could not care about anything else, and she asked Madam Liu while clutching her hands.
Lu Dahua’s gaze darkened, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Lu Jiang and Lu Xin were still young, one was five years old while the other was three years old. They did not know anything.
They merely squatted at the side and stared at the three adults in a puzzled manner, not knowing what they were scared about.
With a pale face, Madam Liu looked at Lu Dahua. “Dahua, could it be Madam He…?”
She knew that Lu Sheng had come last night. She had seen Lu Sheng when she had turned her head.
Even now, she could not forget the face that exuded a faint green light.
However, she did not dare to tell Lu Dahua.
Although Lu Dahua did not like Lu Sheng, she was worth five hundred taels.
If he knew that she and her daughter were the ones who made her disappear, he would kill them.
Lu Dahua frowned and said in a deep voice, “I heard that the adjacent village has a witch. I’ll invite her over to take a look.”

When Madam Liu heard this, she hurried him to go look for her.
Lu Sheng did not leave. Instead, she stood in the courtyard and waited for the witch to arrive.
However, soon after Lu Dahua left, the Chu Family’s butler came over with some government officials.
There were even two familiar figures amongst them.

“Why are they here?” Lu Sheng mumbled as she raised an eyebrow in surprise.
