In a world brimming with mystery and intrigue, the Heavenly Master Xu Yang is renowned for his extraordinary Taoist skills and his thousand-year-old peach wood sword. However, his reputation is not entirely positive. Within the spectral community, Xu Yang's standing is quite complex, with rumors even suggesting that he once threatened a spirit, prompting the spirit to call the police. Despite this, Xu Yang steadfastly maintains his innocence, claiming that these accusations are utterly baseless.

The story begins with Xu Yang encountering a young man who questions his identity during a ghost-hunting mission. The young man bluntly raises the issue of Xu Yang's reputation and mentions the spirit that called the police. Xu Yang vehemently denies these claims and challenges the young man to bring the spirit forward for a face-to-face confrontation. This scene not only showcases Xu Yang's confidence and determination but also sets the stage for the unfolding narrative.

As the story progresses, Xu Yang gradually uncovers a vast conspiracy behind the negative rumors about him. It turns out that a powerful evil spirit has been manipulating events from the shadows, attempting to tarnish Xu Yang's reputation to weaken his influence in the spectral community and secure more space for its own survival. Realizing this, Xu Yang understands that he must unveil the truth behind this conspiracy to restore his reputation and protect innocent lives.

Throughout this journey, Xu Yang faces not only challenges from spirits but also the complexities of human relationships. He collaborates with a young female journalist to investigate the incident. Initially skeptical of Xu Yang, the journalist gradually comes to admire his courage and wisdom as they endure a series of perilous events together. A budding romance quietly develops between them as they face adversity side by side.

In the end, Xu Yang successfully exposes the true nature of the evil spirit and defeats it in a fierce battle. His reputation is restored, and peace returns to the spectral community. However, Xu Yang knows that evil will never completely disappear from this world, and he must remain vigilant, continuing to guard the peace of this realm.

This Heavenly Master is a bit too arrogant.

"I wanted to tell Ma Long his car was gone, but that idiot dared spout nonsense!"

"What 'lusting after a ghost'? Am I that kind of person, Xu Yang?"

He glanced back at the ghost queen sitting on the sofa, her ponytail swaying as she intently watched TV. His heart skipped a beat. "Though... she does look beautiful like this... In stories, Ning Caichen dared to love a ghost, Xu Xian married a snake spirit... Could I..."

"Bah!" Xu Yang shuddered, slapping his cheeks. "Xu Yang! How dare you harbor such filthy thoughts!"

At the Wucheng Public Security Bureau's Litong Branch, Xu Yang dialed Officer Wang. "Officer, I need a favor."

When Xu Yang arrived, Officer Wang was handling a bizarre report. A middle-aged taxi driver waved his phone frantically: "It's true! Someone's stealing my cab every night and returning it before dawn! Look at the footage!"

The surveillance video showed an empty taxi starting itself and driving off. The driver whispered fearfully: "My late partner Lao Ma... he used to drive the night shift. Died two weeks ago..."

Officer Wang's junior colleague scoffed, "You expect us to believe a ghost's stealing your cab?"

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed. The timestamp read midnight - prime time for supernatural activity.

After the taxi driver left, Officer Wang turned to Xu Yang. "What do you think?"

Xu Yang shrugged. "Young couples doing it in public? Shameful. Though the guy did finish rather quick—"

"About the case!" Officer Wang rubbed his temples.

Xu Yang grinned. "Help me verify these remains, and I'll help solve your ghost taxi mystery."

In the forensic lab, a sharp-eyed examiner lifted the skull from Xu Yang's bag. "Female. 38-42 years old. Died at least three years ago." She paused. "Definitely not your grandfather."

Xu Yang's fists clenched. The "grandfather" he'd buried was an imposter. But why?

That night, Xu Yang crouched near the taxi driver's residence. The ghost queen materialized beside him, sniffing the air. "Residual yin energy. Fresh."

At midnight, the taxi's engine roared to life - driver's seat empty. Xu Yang smirked. "Let's catch ourselves a ghost cabbie."
