Starting as pearl divers, they have endless jobs.

Chapter 97 Acquiring a New Skill, Making a Grand Debut
Su Lan's ghostly figure twisted wildly in the air, and the churning black mist almost swallowed the entire courtyard.

At this moment, countless fragmented memories are washing over her soul, eventually converging into that cold and hypocritical face under the lamplight.

is her!

She killed herself!
It was she who blinded her soul with lies, altered her memories, and used herself as a weapon to deal with a man who was no longer related to her.

All the pain and resentment he felt after his death stemmed from this hypocritical woman!
Thinking of this, Su Lan was furious and wished she could go back and confront Jing Xuan right now.

However, there are still some things to do right now.

Then the overwhelming ghostly energy slowly subsided and reformed into the shape of Su Lan in mid-air.

She looked down at the wealthy Mr. Lu not far away, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The hatred was gone, replaced by an indescribable sense of confusion and guilt.

When the fog of that lie dissipated, and she looked back on her past with this wealthy man, Lu, she realized that many things were not as she remembered them.

I was really being difficult back then; it wasn't just being unreasonable, it was practically making trouble out of nothing.

But when death truly came, and she cowered on the stool, too afraid to face it, Su Lan finally realized the truth.

That is, his feelings for Lu Dahu were more of resentment and self-pity, far from being enough to make him willing to sacrifice his life.

I am nothing more than a pathetic creature controlled by hatred and lies.

“Lu Lang…”

Su Lan spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly, "It's all over now. I misunderstood you. Don't hate me. We were destined to be apart. Take care of yourself in the future."

The cry of "Lu Lang" sent a jolt through Lu the wealthy man. He raised his tear-streaked old face and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in mid-air, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

"Lan'er, how could I hate you? Please take good care of yourself in the future."

Lu the wealthy man knew that this might be the last time they would see each other, because Su Lan had already let go of her entanglement with him.

The feud is over.

Su Lan turned around and gracefully landed on the stage, bowing deeply to Chen Ye.

"Thank you so much, young master, for helping me unlock the shackles of my memories twice. I will never forget this kindness and virtue."

Chen Ye felt very tired at this moment; the big show he had just witnessed had put immense pressure on him.

Therefore, in response to Su Lan's thanks, Chen Ye simply waved his hand and said in a tired voice, "I was just doing my duty as a servant, there's no need for such formalities."

Seeing this, Su Lan bowed again in gratitude, and then prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait a minute," Chen Ye suddenly called out to her.

Su Lan stopped and asked with some confusion, "Is there anything else you need, young master?"

"Are you planning to go to the Tianhou Palace now to seek revenge on Jingxuan?" Chen Ye asked.

“Not bad!” Upon mentioning Jingxuan, Su Lan’s ghostly aura surged uncontrollably once again, her eyes flashing with a blood-red hue.

“She killed me and deceived my soul. This is an irreconcilable feud, and I will naturally take revenge.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye sighed, "You won't be able to get revenge if you go back like this."

"Since Jingxuan dared to commit such an evil deed, how could she not have a backup plan? The Empress Palace is a den of iniquity, and there are countless experts within it. Do you think you, alone... uh, a ghost, can defeat all of them?"

Chen Ye's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing most of Su Lan's anger.

She was silent.

Yes, the other party can turn himself into a vengeful ghost, can collect the resentment of so many women, and even dares to plot against the government. How could he be an easy opponent?

To rush in recklessly would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

But should we just let it go like this?

That overwhelming blood feud, that endless humiliation, must I just swallow it all? "Then... what should I do?" Su Lan's voice was filled with helplessness and resentment.

“Of course not.” Chen Ye’s eyes shone brightly in the candlelight. “We can join forces.”

"Join forces?" Su Lan was stunned. "How?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Chen Ye's face. "Of course there is a way..."

After saying that, he beckoned to Su Lan, signaling her to come closer.

A moment later, Lu Jinghong looked at the man and the ghost huddled together on the stage, whispering to each other, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This...this is also okay?

After a private discussion, Su Lan, with a satisfied expression, turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the night.

When the crisis was overjoyed, Lu the wealthy man immediately stepped forward and said he would prepare a grand banquet to entertain Chen Ye.

"There's no need for a banquet." At that moment, Chen Ye just wanted to go back and rest, so he declined directly.

However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and shouted to Lu, "Oh right, don't forget to settle the final payment."

After saying that, he ignored Lu Da Hu's enthusiastic attempts to persuade him to stay and went straight back to his room.

Back in his room, Chen Ye sat down in front of the bronze mirror and looked at his reflection, which showed him still wearing makeup, with a strange expression.

It has to be said that the combination of this captivating diva's talent and her outfit is indeed quite astonishing.

However, that's not the point. Just as Chen Ye was guiding Su Lan through her memories and bringing the play to its fullest, his career panel quietly underwent a slight change.

[You guide the souls of the dead in the play, and through singing, recitation, acting and fighting, you see through illusions, deepening your understanding of acting and successfully mastering the skill—taking the stage.]

[On Stage: When you play a specific role, your charm, demeanor, and persuasiveness will be greatly enhanced. Your disguise will be flawless, and every smile and gesture will be captivating, making it difficult for viewers to distinguish between truth and falsehood, thus inspiring their favor.]

Chen Ye looked at the description of the skill and fell into a long silence.

How should I put this skill?

They seem quite serious.

But something feels off.

"It's useless, so useless," Chen Ye shook his head and muttered to himself.

Aside from making it easier for him to continue his entrapment and law enforcement activities at the Tianhou Temple, it doesn't seem to have much other use.

He complained as he began to remove his makeup.

As the paint was gradually wiped away, the stunningly beautiful woman in the mirror transformed back into the clear-eyed, calm young man.

Chen Ye then opened the system panel.

Name: Chen Ye

【Occupation: Bewitching Diva Lv1 (Singing, recitation, acting, and martial arts skills, displaying elegance and charm, entering the realm of Tao through drama, communicating with ghosts and gods)】

[Talent: Telepathy - Your voice and performance can easily transcend the boundaries between the living and the dead, evoking a resonance with ghosts]

[Skills: Microscopic Insight lv3, Stage Presence lv1]

It must be said that although this performance was thrilling, it was also very rewarding. First, he was promoted to a captivating diva, and second, he unlocked a new skill, "Powdered Appearance." Even his previous skill, "Subtlety," was upgraded to level 3.

With his professional talent and skills, Chen Ye's understanding of traditional opera has reached a very deep level. If this continues, he should be able to officially debut on stage soon.

And don't forget, there's also the Tianhou Temple, a huge experience booster.

But that's a story for later. At this moment, Chen Ye was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He was too lazy to even take off his clothes and simply lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
