Zhong Niangyao instantly realized that they refrained from harming Zhang Jing out of fear of retribution.
However, the situation definitely wasn't that simple. Otherwise, Father Ling and Mrs. Ling wouldn't have come looking for help again.
Father Ling continued to narrate the events.
They had encountered Master Zixiao and were very pleased. Moreover, Master Zixiao did not ask for any compensation, which only further convinced them that they were dealing with a genuine Heavenly Master.
Master Zixiao gave them a pill, which, upon consumption by Ling Chao, would create the illusion of death so that he could proceed with the ritual to deceive the female ghost.
After achieving her revenge, the female ghost would reincarnate. Once she had reincarnated, the crisis surrounding Ling Chao would end, and he would wake up once more.
Trusting Master Zixiao completely and devoid of other options, they eventually administered the Fake Death Medicine to Ling Chao.
