Zhao Yan and Tang Xiaoxiao sought revenge on Xiao Yu and Liu Shan after the pair framed and killed them in a game, but their plans kept failing. They finally trapped and repeatedly killed Xiao Yu in the next round before the server crashed and the players logged off.

• Zhao Yan recognized Xiao Yu and Liu Shan as the Werewolves who had framed her and Tang Xiaoxiao, then watched them defeat the Good Roles at the last moment.
• Zhao Yan and Tang Xiaoxiao became Wolves in the next round and planned to target Liu Shan and Xiao Yu, but both were killed again.

Xiao Yu investigated a comatose patient who had become skin and bones overnight and discovered a powerful ghost draining his vitality. The ghost’s ignorance of spiritual methods and rapid rise in power led Xiao Yu to suspect someone was behind it, so he decided to capture it and investigate its origins.

• Hospital Director Liu Linyu summoned Xiao Yu after a patient inexplicably lost most of his weight overnight while unconscious.
• Xiao Yu examined the patient, recognized that the cause was supernatural, and asked Liu Linyu to leave the ward.
• Xiao Yu formed an Evil-Repelling Array and cast an Evil-Repelling Spell, forcing a black ghostly shape out of the patient.
• The ghost mocked Xiao Yu and claimed that harming people was natural for ghosts, while Xiao Yu recognized it as a modern person who had become a powerful vengeful ghost within a few years.
• Xiao Yu connected the ghost’s strange power to earlier questions about powerful ghosts and the Heavenly Mandate Stone, and resolved to capture it alive to uncover its background.

Xiao Yu subdued the century-old Vengeful Ghost, Lu Bo, with his protective Merit and questioned him about his origins. Lu Bo revealed that a powerful ghost had imprisoned him and forced him to cultivate before declaring him invincible and sending him out.

• Xiao Yu used a basic Evil-Repelling Spell on the Vengeful Ghost, which the ghost barely blocked before mocking him.
• The Vengeful Ghost lunged at Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu's Merit Power nearly dissolved it and trapped it whenever it tried to flee.
• Xiao Yu threatened to scatter the ghost's soul, and the Vengeful Ghost begged for mercy and agreed to answer his questions.
• The ghost identified himself as Lu Bo, said he had died at twenty-three about seven or eight years earlier, and explained that another ghost had kept him imprisoned and forced him to cultivate.
• Lu Bo admitted that the powerful ghost had told him he was invincible, prompting him to seek revenge and hurt people.

Xiao Yu captured Lu Bo, a ghost who had drained five people to increase his power, then spent the day treating critically ill patients at the hospital. As Xiao Yu left with Liu Shan and Liu Linyu, a woman screamed that her father’s condition had suddenly worsened.

• Xiao Yu learned Lu Bo had harmed five people by draining their vital essence, energy, and spirit, and ordered him to come along so he could be locked up.
• Xiao Yu told Liu Linyu that a ghost had possessed the comatose patient and warned that the man needed careful treatment to recover.
• Liu Linyu took Xiao Yu to the hospital’s waiting-to-die ward, where Xiao Yu treated ten patients through the day.
• Liu Shan waited outside with an empty lunch box after bringing food for Xiao Yu, and Liu Linyu invited them to dinner.
• As Xiao Yu, Liu Shan, and Liu Linyu left the operating room area, a middle-aged woman screamed for a doctor because her father’s condition had suddenly worsened.

Xiao Yu went to help a critically ill patient, but the patient’s daughter rejected him because he looked too young and drove him away. After the nurses and other families condemned her behavior, she finally went to look for Xiao Yu, only to learn he had already left the hospital.

• Liu Linyu asked Xiao Yu to help the middle-aged woman’s father, and Xiao Yu headed to the ward.
• The woman dismissed Xiao Yu as too young, shoved him aside, and demanded an older doctor, so Xiao Yu left with Liu Linyu and Liu Shan.
• The head nurse told the woman that Xiao Yu was the only doctor qualified to treat patients in that area and refused to call another doctor.
• The woman argued with the head nurse and continued shouting until other patients’ family members accused her of obstructing her father’s treatment.
• The woman eventually went to beg Xiao Yu for help, but he had already left the hospital.

Xiao Yu realized the middle-aged woman had deliberately caused trouble to serve her own purpose and planned to treat her father while exposing her scheme. After dinner, he returned to the hospital and entered the ward to examine the patient despite her objections.

• Liu Linyu complained about the woman, and Xiao Yu said he would take him to see a show after they returned to the hospital.
• Xiao Yu explained that the woman was her father’s daughter-in-law and that the patient’s condition was serious but could wait a little longer.
• Liu Linyu declined to hear his own fortune and asked Xiao Yu to tell Liu Xinyun’s fortune instead.
• Xiao Yu told Liu Linyu that Liu Xinyun would face three major setbacks, beginning with a romantic setback.
• Back at the hospital, Xiao Yu pushed past the woman after she tried to stop him from examining her father, and she stepped aside when he warned her about obstructing treatment.

Xiao Yu challenged Fan Ying over her refusal to pay for her unconscious father-in-law’s treatment, exposing that she wanted him dead for his inheritance. The old man revealed he had heard everything, disowned Fan Ying’s claim to his assets, and agreed to treatment as Xiao Yu sent him to surgery.

• Xiao Yu told Fan Ying her father-in-law could live another twenty or thirty years and offered to cover treatment costs, but she refused to borrow money or sign for payment.
• Xiao Yu confronted Fan Ying about wanting the old man to die and inherit his property, and she admitted she had been pretending to be dutiful.
• The old man opened his eyes and told Fan Ying he had heard their entire conversation while unable to open them.
• The old man vowed Fan Ying would receive none of his houses or money and said he would sell a house to pay for treatment.
• Xiao Yu explained that the quoted treatment cost was made up, then called a nurse to take the old man to surgery.

As Xiao Yu prepared for his final attempt to reach the Golden Core Stage, Liu Shan visited his quiet shop and introduced him to her old friends Yin Xuan and Qi Qing. Xiao Yu sensed Qi Qing had deliberately sought Liu Shan out and was hiding something, leaving him curious about why she had come.

• Liu Shan noticed Qi Qing was troubled, and Qi Qing admitted she had arranged to ask Xiao Yu for help.
• Xiao Yu read Qi Qing’s fortune and learned that her parents had invested their apartment money in a fund after a bank salesperson misrepresented its risks and returns.
• The fund fell sharply, reducing their investment of over two million to about one and a half million and leaving them short of the apartment balance.
• Xiao Yu told Qi Qing that her family faced a choice between selling the fund and borrowing to cover the payment or waiting and risking further losses.
• Qi Qing nodded and began to cry as she faced her family’s dilemma.

Xiao Yu helped Qi Qing avoid a devastating financial loss and warned that changing her future could leave her disabled during a police mission. Liu Shan gave Qi Qing a Protective Jade and urged her to resign, then offered her work accompanying them on their honeymoon, though Qi Qing was reluctant to mix money with friendship.

• Qi Qing told Liu Shan that her family’s fund losses threatened their home purchase, her credit, and her job, and Liu Shan promised to ask Xiao Yu for help.
• Xiao Yu read Qi Qing’s fortune and advised her to withdraw the funds on the fifteenth of next month, limiting her loss to two hundred thousand.
• Xiao Yu warned that Qi Qing’s changed future could lead to her becoming disabled during a mission if she stayed a police officer, and he described resignation or returning for another reading as possible solutions.
• Liu Shan gave Qi Qing a five-hundred-thousand Protective Jade and urged her to resign, while Qi Qing reluctantly accepted it.
• Liu Shan offered Qi Qing a paid role as their interpreter and assistant during their honeymoon and a future job at her family’s company, but Qi Qing feared money would damage their friendship.
• Yin Xuan offered to join Qi Qing as Liu Shan’s maid on the trip and suggested that the two of them travel together without Liu Shan if Qi Qing remained uncomfortable.
