Inner Thoughts Exposed: Reborn General's Farming Daughter Has a System

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Xiao Yuyan’s Whereabouts

The Ling siblings brought back the ghost of a man with blindness in one eye. The ghost was absolutely frightened.

He was usually fierce, bullying other ghosts with his power. These two siblings seemed to be weak. Thinking that they seemed unfamiliar, probably new ghosts, he went over to assert his power over them.

As a result...

They beat him until his soul faded a lot, smashing and kicking here and there as though they wanted to vent their lifetime of grievance.

Seeing that he had kicked an iron plate this time, he wanted to run, but they wouldn’t let him go. He could only beg for mercy from them, promising to never do the same again.

"Let’s see if you have any useful information. If you do, we will let you go." Ling Bo rolled up his sleeves and kicked him again.

The one-eyed ghost let out a blood curling scream, and he immediately nodded, sat up, and begged. "I-I will help you find the information. There are a lot of ghosts I know here. It will definitely be useful, definitely be useful."

After that, the Ling siblings began to interrogate him regarding Xiao Yuyan’s whereabouts.

"Did you see any living human... or body who got carried away by the water currents here?" Ling Yu asked, cracking her knuckles.

The one-eyed ghost was intimidated in an instant. "I will try to remember, my lords..."

They didn’t miss the flicker of surprise in the ghost’s bloody face. The siblings sent discreet glances, already determining that this ghost must have known something.

If he really did, they would definitely make him spit out all of the information he knew.

They waited impatiently, staring at the one-eyed ghost with aggressive looks on their faces.

After a while, before the two lost their patience and started abusing him again, the one-eyed ghost suddenly opened his mouth. He seemed to remember something and a frightened look appeared on his face.

"My lords, can you promise not to beat up this humble ghost again?" The ghost shrank back.

"Depends on your answer." Ling Bo crossed his arms on his chest.

The ghost was still hesitant.

Ling Yu frowned. "If your information is useful, we will definitely let you go. Or... did you kill a living being before?"

He was aghast at the accusation and shook his head fiercely. Ling Bo and Ling Yu possessed such power despite their ordinary aura.

Without a doubt, they might have a taoist master behind them. The one-eyed ghost was afraid they might call the taoist master on him.

"Of course not. I am a law-abiding ghost!" He hurriedly denied it. In order to prove his innocence, he continued, "it’s just that... during my life, I should have known these people..."

The Ling siblings’ mouths twitched. Which law-abiding ghost bully other ghosts?

However, they didn’t even have the chance to correct his first few words before they were attracted by what he said next.

"These people? Who are you talking about? Don’t talk so vaguely." Ling Bo scolded.

The one-eyed ghost didn’t have a choice but to tell him. "I saw a girl being dragged out of the water when I was... looking for new faces."

He had been wandering along the riverside back then, floating as his hazy memories recognized some of them. Fragmented scenes also began to appear in his mind, showing how he died falling off a cliff.

Some people were chasing him, and... they seemed to be the yamen.

He was a criminal during his lifetime, spending his time abducting humans and selling them. In the end, he died after falling off a cliff and his body fell into the river.

He became a wandering ghost.

"I was one of these people..." A look of struggle appeared on the one-eyed ghost’s face.

The memory about how he lost his eye also flashed by. It was during the time he failed to abduct someone and almost beaten to death, his one eye lost its function.

"So, I recognized them as my former companions," he muttered, immersed in his memories.

Ling Yu snapped her fingers in front of him. "Wake up!"

"Since you have the information, you need to come with us for a bit," Ling Bo muttered.

With that, he grabbed his hand and dragged him toward Xiao Qingya, tossing him to the ground.

[Little Master, he is one of the culprits who kidnapped your second sister.] Ling Bo immediately said.

The one-eyed ghost widened his eyes. Although he was a little skeptical about such a small baby’s taoist skill, he didn’t want to take a gamble.

He instantly explained himself. [L-Little Master, it’s not me! I have already died when they took your sister. I absolutely wasn’t involved!]

At this moment, he didn’t know whether he should consider himself lucky or not for having died early.

Xiao Qingya’s eyes lit up when she heard the one-eyed ghost’s words. [Do you mean my second sister is still alive?]

Then, the joy in her eyes abruptly faded when she remembered something. [Tell me what this person you found looks like!]

The one-eyed ghost was slightly intimidated by her, and he racked his brains to think. His eyes suddenly landed on Xiao Yuxi, and he had a bewildered look on his face.

He pointed at her. [It’s her. How can she be here?]

Xiao Qingya took a deep breath, trying to resist the relief in her heart. She hadn’t found her sister yet!

"Where is she?!" She demanded, taking out a few ghost repelling talismans from her pocket.

He immediately shrank back in fright. The aura in these ghost repelling talismans was dangerous for him.

The little one could finally create two kinds of ghosts repelling talismans, one for defense and the other offense. The one she was holding was for offensive purposes.

[I will talk, I will talk! Little Master, we are civilized beings, there is no need to use force.] The one-eyed ghost was truly convinced now. This baby was dangerous and scary!

"Little Ya, what’s wrong?" Xiao Fenghao arrived beside her and asked worriedly.

She was so emotional that she forgot to use the telephatic channel to talk to the ghost. However, she didn’t mind since her family knew she could see ghosts.

Her finger pointed at what seemed to be an empty air for Xiao Fenghao. "Second Brother, this stinky ghost knows where the Second Sister is!"
