He just became the last Celestial Master, and the school beauty is already calling him "Dad&quo

Yang Guang covered his head, still grumbling indignantly, "If you really think Nongfu Spring is beneath you, then I'll just have to spend a little more money."

"I'll go to the supermarket and buy you a pulse-stopping bottle. It has a wide mouth, so it'll be easy to fill. Is that alright?"

Yu Chengguang was so angry that even the Soul-Hooking Rope was glowing green.

He raised his hand as if to strike again.

Yang Guang quickly took a step back, grimacing with a pained expression.

"Okay, okay, okay."

"purchase!"

"Fine, I'll buy it!"

"Old Jia, arrange an urn for him, under two hundred yuan!"

"A penny more than that is yours!"

Jia Youcai nodded vigorously, "Okay, brother, I'll call right away. I know a lot of people at the funeral home; I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Just as Jia Youcai went to the side to call a car.

Yu Chengguang looked at Yang Guang and said irritably, "You brat, come with me for a second."

"What?"

Despite saying that, Yang Guang still obediently walked to the side with the old squad leader.

We followed the old squad leader to a dilapidated corner of the abandoned meat processing plant.

The surrounding area was littered with broken bricks and rusty iron frames.

Yang Guang leaned casually against the wall, his hands in his school uniform pockets and a piece of dry grass he'd picked up somewhere dangling from his mouth.

"Tell me, old squad leader, why are you being so secretive? You won't even let your wife and daughter listen."

"What's wrong?"

"You have a lover down there, are you afraid your sister-in-law will find out?"

Yu Chengguang rolled his eyes in annoyance and raised his hand as if to slap him again.

However, this time he didn't actually hit her. Instead, he threw the soul-hooking rope, which was as thick as a baby's arm, onto the ground with a crisp clang.

"Stop giving me that bullshit!"

Yu Chengguang dropped his joking expression and immediately became serious.

His dark pupils, devoid of any white, stared intently at Yang Guang.

"Xiao Guang, besides dealing with these bastards digging up graves, I mainly came here on official business."

Yang Guang was taken aback and spat out the dry grass in his mouth.

"Business trip?"

"You just passed the civil service exam and you've already been assigned to fieldwork?"

"Is the underworld really this ruthless in exploiting its workforce these days?"

"Aren't you going to provide onboarding training?"

Yu Chengguang sighed and pointed to the night sky outside: "Do you think I wanted this?"

"It's all because of a major problem in the old city of Fengdu!"

Yu Chengguang lowered his voice, his tone grave.

"I just went down to report for duty, and my superiors immediately assigned me to the old city area of ​​Fengdu, and put me in charge of the work of capturing and sending away souls in that area."

"You grew up in Fengdu, so you should know it better than I do."

"That area is now a lawless wasteland!"

Upon hearing this...

Yang Guang's nonchalant expression vanished instantly.

Instead, a deep solemnity appeared, and a hint of surprise even flashed in his eyes.

What's going on in the old city? Others might not know, but how could he, the last Celestial Master who inherited the Office of the Reincarnation, not know?

The local earth god and city god no longer exist in that place!

He had previously encountered a ghostly security guard named Ah-Qiang, who had been pretending to be the City God for thirty years in that dilapidated City God Temple.

Normally, he only relies on a little bit of faith to protect a group of lonely ghosts.

Yang Guang kept this matter to himself, intending to investigate it thoroughly before taking action.

Unexpectedly, the underworld is now taking action?

Yang Guang straightened up, frowned, and asked, "Has the Underworld finally realized that something's wrong with that place?"

"Where did the local earth god and city god go in that wretched place?"

"He was a powerful deity, after all. How could he suddenly disappear without a trace, and for decades at that?"

Yu Chengguang shook his head helplessly.

"You're asking me about this? Who am I supposed to ask?"

"Don't even mention me, a newcomer; even the higher-ups in the underworld are completely baffled!"

"It was only recently, when we were checking the Book of Life and Death and the Book of Merit, that we suddenly discovered that the soul records in that area were in complete disarray."

"A large number of wandering ghosts and spirits are left behind, and no one cares about even a ghost."

Yu Chengguang stretched out his semi-transparent finger and poked Yang Guang's chest.

"I was sent here by the higher-ups, partly because I am a native of Fengdu and a former soldier, so I can keep things in order."

"On the other hand, it's mainly because of you!"

Yang Guang pointed to his nose, looking completely bewildered.

"Because of me?"

"What business is it of mine, young master Guan?"

"I'm just a self-employed individual running an agency, not one of your government employees!"

"What's it to me?"

Yu Chengguang twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a half-smile: "The people above have investigated my life and know about my relationship with you."

"They know you are the person in charge of the Rebirth Agency for this generation."

"That's what they said in the original text: If I can't handle the situation in that dead zone and run into trouble, I'll come directly to you."

"They believe you can definitely handle it."

"So I'll be very busy for the next period of time, as I need to do a lot of work to clear out the wandering ghosts that are lingering in that area."

"If I get too busy later, you'll have to come over anytime and be my free laborer, helping me sort things out!"

"And we also need to help investigate the disappearance of the City God and the Land God, so that the area can be restored to normal as soon as possible."

Yang Guang stared wide-eyed at the old squad leader in front of him, whose face was full of self-righteousness.

I was stunned for a full five seconds.

"Holy crap?"

Yang Guang immediately lost his temper and jumped half a meter high on the spot.

"Old squad leader, what kind of exam did you take down there?"

"Is this a test for someone who doesn't want to work for a government job?"

"What does that mean?!"

"So, the underworld dumped this mess on you just to get something for nothing, huh?"

"You're not paying me for the work, you just want me to be your personal laborer?"

Yang Guang shook his head vigorously, clutching his canvas bag tightly with both hands, as if afraid that the money inside would be stolen.

"No way! Absolutely not!"

"I'm a businessman, and I never work for free!"

"You know the rules of the funeral parlor!"

"You want me to investigate the case of the City God's disappearance?"

"You can't treat people like this without paying them!"

Looking at Yang Guang's greedy and agitated appearance.

Yu Chengguang was not angry at all; instead, he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"You little rascal, you haven't changed a bit in your money-grubbing ways."

"Before I arrived, the judge above already guessed that you would be like this, and he made it clear long ago."

Yu Chengguang's smile faded, and he said seriously, "The underworld definitely can't give you the money."

"But that's what they said above."

"As long as you do this job well, help me clean up the wandering ghosts in that area, and find out the truth about the disappearance of the City God and the Earth God."

"It can directly reduce your debt of merit to the underworld by half!"

boom!

These words were spoken.

It was as if a muffled thunderclap had exploded in Yang Guang's mind.

The expression that had just been stubbornly refusing to cooperate instantly froze on his face.

Followed by.

His eyes shone brighter than searchlights, and drool almost dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Halved?
