Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

He was so close that he could even smell the faint jasmine fragrance on Jiang Liu.

"Make good use of it."

Jiang Liu said:

"Now, maintain this stance and center of gravity, and punch forward."

Chen Shi focused his attention and swung his fist fiercely!

In an instant, with inspiration and the support of the bandages, a powerful small wave of air rose up from around her, the strong wind lifting Jiang Liu's ponytail and carrying a jasmine fragrance into the training room.

"Your movements have become faster!?" Chen Shi exclaimed in surprise.

Sure enough, his punches became more powerful.

It's unclear whether it was due to the magical artifact or Jiang Liu's guidance.

Jiang Liu nodded, reached out and pinched his arm to adjust the angle:

"Raise your elbow a little higher, engage your core, and then push your fist forward."

After adjusting the angle, Chen Shi threw another punch, which was indeed faster and more powerful.

At the same time, because his elbow was raised, his punch inadvertently grazed Jiang Liu's chest.

"Eh...!"

Jiang Liu trembled instinctively and let out a soft moan, but immediately stopped herself.

However, the swaying of the clothes continued for a while.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Jiang, I didn't notice..." Chen Shi was also a little embarrassed.

He has never been in a relationship, and it's not an exaggeration to say he's unpopular with women, let alone engage in physical contact like this.

"It's okay, it's normal."

Jiang Liu coughed lightly and immediately returned to normal, but a faint blush rose to her ears.

"Keep going, don't get distracted."

She continued to adjust Chen Shi's fighting stance until he was drenched in sweat, and then she took a few steps forward.

Her delicate, bare feet touched the floor; she walked steadily without her ponytail swaying, and when she turned around, a section of her fair neck was revealed.

Jiang Liu smiled and waved her hand:

"Now, come and hit me."

"???"

Senior Sister Jiang, do you have this kind of fetish?

"Is there any fancy meal you'd like to eat?" Jiang Liu suddenly asked.

"A feast?"

Chen Shi casually remarked:

"I want to eat at that king crab buffet in the city center for 1699 yuan."

"Row."

Jiang Liu flicked her ponytail and laughed:

"If you can run into me, I'll take you out to eat, it's on me."

Chen Shi was stunned. Actually, he had just seen it in a video and made it up casually, but Jiang Liu actually took it seriously.

"Senior Sister Jiang, then I won't stand on ceremony." Chen Shi said, making a gesture.

"Don't be shy, go for it." Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow: "This is a rare opportunity."

Although I had a rough idea that Jiang Liu didn't have good intentions, she had already said it...

Chen Shi took a deep breath, adjusted his stance, and burst forth, sprinting towards Jiang Liu.

……

20 minute later.

Chen was drenched in sweat, beads of sweat running down his forehead and dripping down his face.

He didn't touch it at all.

"Your stamina isn't up to par, young man." Jiang Liu squatted down, resting his chin on his hand, without even breaking a sweat.

Senior Sister Jiang, if you keep mocking me for being weak, I'm really going to hit you with a stick!

"The speed is fast and the explosiveness is also good, but it's easy to get impatient and lose control towards the end."

She handed him a towel, which Chen Shi took and used to wipe his face.

"Practice slowly, you have a good learning ability. In the future, you will not only be ferrying spirits, but also coming into contact with the Blooming Flowers Society, so combat skills are necessary."

Upon hearing the names Du Ling and Fan Hua Hui, Chen Shi's expression suddenly froze, and his face darkened slightly.

Jiang Liu immediately noticed that Chen Shi seemed preoccupied and asked, "You seem to have something on your mind?"

"Senior Sister Jiang could tell that?"

"Nonsense, I'm your master, how could I not see through you?"

"actually……"

Chen Shi considered his words carefully and said:

"After experiencing the three evil spirits when I was a child, I have always felt that evil spirits are extremely evil and I hate them very much."

"But after becoming ferrymen and removing the spirits of Le and Bei, upon closer examination of their experiences, they seem to be nothing more than pitiful people who were murdered and harbor resentment."

"Senior Sister Jiang, you've said it before, haven't you? Sometimes people are more vicious than spirits. I'm wondering, what exactly is viciousness, and what is good? Is our way of guiding spirits considered good?"

He looked up, his slightly immature face turned towards Jiang Liu, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Because of the three malevolent spirits, he once only harbored malice towards them. But after experiencing the ordeal with the Sorrowful Spirit, he realized that Zhang Yan was just a pitiful victim of persecution. However, becoming a malevolent spirit would inevitably lead him to harm others.

These cycles of cause and effect made it impossible for him to determine right from wrong.

After hearing what he said, Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, then revealed a faint smile, the red at the corner of her eyes bright and charming.

"As expected of my apprentice." She said this out of the blue.

Chen Shi was a little confused. Was there anything in what he said that would make Jiang Liu proud?

Jiang Liu sat next to him, her long legs stretched out in front of her, her toes dangling.

“Great, you were able to proactively discover this problem.”

Her smile held a hint of doting affection, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, very close.

"You probably thought before that evil spirits were all evil because they harmed people, and that you had to kill them all. But after experiencing Ling Cage, you realized that many evil spirits were actually pitiful people who were harmed by others, so you couldn't immediately tell who was right and who was wrong, right?"

"Mm." Chen Shi nodded.

"In that case, why don't you look at it from a different perspective?"

Jiang Liu slowly bent her knees, rubbed her heels on the ground and pulled them back, wrapped her arms around her knees, rested her face on her arms, and glanced sideways at him:

“We perform exorcisms to prevent the living from being harmed, and to prevent more people like your parents from appearing.”

Similarly, when we exorcise spirits, we are not killing them, but allowing those who have been harmed and whose resentment has not yet dissipated to rest in peace. We are both helping people and comforting spirits.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi's eyes lit up.

“Remember this, Chen Shi, this is the creed of us ferrymen.”

Jiang Liu raised her eyes, her voice strong:

"Give hope to the living, and peace to the departed."

Chen Shi pondered for a few seconds, then his eyes cleared:

"I've got it."

"Very good, so now, do you know what you're supposed to do?" Jiang Liu rested her chin on her hand and smiled at him.

"Now……"

Chen Shi's gaze was resolute, and he made up his mind:

“Find out the Blooming Flower Society that caused all this, investigate and defeat them. Then... eradicate the three evil spirits.”

"Good! Very ambitious!"

As Jiang Liu spoke, she suddenly flicked his forehead again:

"But that's not right."

"what?"

"You've just finished exercising, what you need to do... is have a good big meal."

Jiang Liu stood up, picked up her white sneakers, put them on, and raised her chin:

"Walk."

"Where?"

"Didn't you want to eat the 1699 king crab all-you-can-eat buffet? Senior sister will treat you."

"Really? Senior sister, I didn't run into you, did I?"

"Why don't you touch it now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shi pinched Jiang Liu's waist.

"You little rascal, you really dare to pinch me?" Jiang Liu laughed and patted his head.

"It was clearly Senior Sister Jiang who said it herself..."

Chapter 50 The Anxious Senior

A few hours later...

"Om-"

Late at night, traffic continued to flow in downtown Nanhai City. Black sports cars sped through the darkness, their matte black paint blending into the night, making them impossible to spot, as if they could go anywhere silently.

Inside the car, Chen Shi, sitting in the passenger seat, let out a burp:

"Senior sister, I hope I'm not making you spend money?"

Jiang Liu seemed to have heard an amusing joke, a faint smile appearing in her eyes:

"You think 1699 is too much? You underestimate your senior sister."

She glanced at Chen Shi and said:

"If there's anything you want to eat in the future, just tell your senior sister, and she'll take you there."

This is because of Chen Shi's family situation.

Chen Shi’s mother has been in a vegetative state for six years, and the hospitalization and physical therapy fees have accumulated to a considerable sum over the years.

Although the family should have some savings, the child certainly wouldn't be willing to spend too much money.

After spending time together, Jiang Liu was quite satisfied with this "younger man-loving junior brother" and naturally wanted to take care of him more.

There's nothing I can do; she's both my master and my senior sister. I can only spoil the little one.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang."

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Shi felt his inspiration and abilities had improved, and he even found beauty in the grassy huts along the roadside.

"Hey, by the way, Senior Sister Jiang, is it alright that there was such a commotion at the hospital?"

He suddenly remembered that the three evil spirits had been causing a great disturbance at the time, and the entire side wall of the hospital's inpatient department should have been shattered.

With such a grand display, aren't you worried at all?

After all, Jiang Liu and his group had always been in the shadows.
