He extended his index finger, conjured a stream of magical power, and flicked it lightly at the compass on the stall.

The compass immediately emitted a faint golden light, and then the patterns on the surface began to slowly flow.

Ling Feng chuckled lightly, withdrew his index finger from the compass, and said calmly, "Do you believe me now?"

"I believe...I believe, I believe!" The woman nodded vigorously, with no more doubt in her heart.

His face, which had been filled with sorrow, suddenly broke into a joyful, tearful smile.

"I'm...I'm so sorry...I was just too happy...I couldn't help myself, sob sob..."

"Alright, wipe yourself off!" Ling Feng took out a pack of toilet paper from his pocket and handed it to her.

"What's your name?"

"Master, my name is Ye Ziyun, you can just call me Ziyun."

Ye Ziyun took the tissue and wiped away her tears while trying to calm her agitated emotions.

Ling Feng nodded slightly, then pointed to the compass and said to her, "Do you see the needle on the compass?"

Ye Ziyun nodded. The pointer was shaking and trembling violently, but it was still locked on her.

"What's going on?"

"This is caused by something unusual in your body, and it must have been going on for quite some time, right?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Ye Ziyun, who usually exuded an air of haughtiness and arrogance, lost her usual reserve and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"It's been a whole month now! At first, I was just being woken up in the middle of the night..."

Later on, whenever I closed my eyes, I always felt like someone was whispering in my ear.

The voice was very soft, so soft that I couldn't hear what it was saying at all; it sounded like it was murmuring something.

The situation worsened over the next two weeks.

Whenever I return to that home, no matter where I go, I feel a chill down my spine.

It was like...like a pair of eyes...staring intently at me from the shadows.

As she said this, Ye Ziyun's face turned deathly pale, and even her voice trembled:

At first, I thought it was my problem, because I often stayed up late working overtime.

I think it might be that physical exhaustion led to mental problems.

I asked for leave from work, wanting to rest for a few days and relax.

The situation didn't improve at all; in fact, it got worse.

Ye Ziyun clutched her hair, her emotions beginning to spiral out of control:

"Having no other choice, I had to go to the hospital to see a doctor."

All the tests were done, but no problems were found.

I feel mentally foggy during the day, and at night I'm always woken up for no reason.

They won't give me a single moment of peace; I'm almost going crazy.

Ye Ziyun's gaze inadvertently fell upon the compass again.

She pursed her slightly dry lips, and the fear on her face intensified.

Just when I felt I was about to give up...

One of my best friends casually reminded me, "Are you possessed?"

At that moment, the hairs on my body stood on end. I took a closer look,

Aside from encountering something unclean, there's really no other explanation for this situation.

Ye Ziyun took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down.

"So I started trying to find some masters to help me take a look."

I've asked about ten people, but no one can give me a clear answer.

As she spoke, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders, her tone full of helplessness and bitterness:

"Some people just pretend, mumble a few words, and then claim that I am possessed by a vengeful ghost!"

There were a few others who seemed to know a thing or two, but as soon as I finished speaking…

His expression immediately changed drastically, and he then said that his cultivation was insufficient.

Unable to resolve the issue for me, he left in a hurry without even taking the payment.

Ye Ziyun unconsciously clenched her fists, her eyes revealing fear:

"After several days of this, the situation is getting worse every day, and being woken up in the middle of the night has become the norm."

Now, every time I wake up, I see a blurry dark figure sitting next to me…

Ye Ziyun couldn't continue speaking; her body trembled uncontrollably whenever she recalled the scene from that night.

Ling Feng listened quietly to Ye Ziyun's story, already having some guesses in his mind:

"Miss Ye, may I ask... about what happened to you before all of this?"

Have you ever been to any remote old houses or desolate areas?

"No!" Ye Ziyun shook her head and answered with absolute certainty.

"Because I was recently promoted, my life has been very regular for the past six months."

In order to achieve results, I either stay at the company or at home.

Ling Feng sat up straight and continued to press, "So, during this time,..."

Have you ever come into contact with, or received, anything unusual from anyone?

"What do you mean by something unusual?" Ye Ziyun didn't quite understand the meaning behind Jiang Hao's words.

Ling Feng pinched his brow, unsure how best to describe it:

"It's... those kinds of objects that look rather unusual, or rather, that seem quite different from what you'd expect."

Or perhaps something strange or eerie, like antiques or jewelry.

"This...no, right?" Ye Ziyun hesitated for a moment.

Ling Feng said very seriously, "Are you sure? Think about it carefully before you speak!"

Ye Ziyun was stunned by Ling Feng's expression and realized that he was not joking with her!

She then calmed herself down and carefully recalled who she had been in contact with during this period.

As she thought about it, her expression finally changed, because she thought of the least likely person.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief! And also with anger that she had forcibly suppressed:

"It's...it's him!"

"who is he?"

"My...my boyfriend!"

"Your boyfriend?"

"That's right!" Ye Ziyun nodded gently, a deep sadness appearing in her eyes.

My boyfriend gave me a jade pendant a little over a month ago!

"The jade pendant? Where is it?"

"Right in my house!"

"Have you and your boyfriend had some irreconcilable conflict?"

"No!" Ye Ziyun clenched her fists, her tone resolute.

"Since it was a gift from your boyfriend, why don't you wear it?"

"There really is no conflict between us!" Ye Ziyun felt wronged.

"As for why I don't wear that jade pendant... well, how should I put it? I really don't like that jade pendant!"

"Just because of this?"

"Hmm!" Ye Ziyun seriously recalled her feelings when she first saw that jade pendant.

"Specifically... I don't know how to describe it best?"

In short, I only glanced at it and felt a sudden, inexplicable aversion.

Even when I held it in my hand, I felt a strange sense of unease.

So... I've just kept it in the closet and haven't taken it out to wear!
