Apologies, Junior Sister

Didn't the lustrous scholar, who had scammed him of his ghost spirit, die as well?

Since it was the resurrection formation left by Scholarly Sage for his disciples, the dead lustrous scholar should also be resurrected by this formation, right?

Pavilion Master Chu's strand of hair replied, "There are three possibilities.

"The first possibility is that he is so dead that even the resurrection formation failed to bring him back. His soul might have perished forever, and there is no longer any possibility for him to be resurrected or be reborn.

"The second possibility is that the lustrous scholar has not completely died yet. Since he has not died completely, there is naturally no way for him to be resurrected.
