What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

With that in mind, I started walking, slowly but surely, towards the gate.

"Wait a moment."

I called out to Qingyunzi just as he was about to get into the back seat of the car.

Upon hearing my voice, Qingyunzi's body trembled violently.

He turned around and looked at me nervously, as if he was afraid I was going to cause him some trouble.

I walked up to him without saying a word.

He simply extended his left hand forward and shoved the trembling ghost in the long robe back into his arms.

Qingyunzi hurriedly caught the long-robed ghost. Sensing the familiar yin energy, he was first stunned, then his face showed undisguised excitement.

Judging from his reaction, he clearly thought the ghost had been destroyed in the chaos just now, but he didn't expect that I would save it.

For a "master" like him, a ghost at his beck and call is his means of survival.

He was holding the ghost in the long robe, and he looked up at me.

After his lips trembled a few times, a genuine expression of gratitude finally appeared on his face.

"Thank you so much for your help, young friend. I am deeply grateful."

He bowed deeply to me.

I didn't say much, just nodded slightly to him, then turned around and walked towards Li Qing and Lao Jin.

When I walked back inside the construction site, I found the atmosphere to be somewhat awkward.

During the few minutes I was away returning the ghost, Boss Lei probably managed to get a clear understanding of the whole story from Boss Wang.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a construction vehicle, his face stern, scolding Boss Wang.

"Old Wang, what can I say about you?"

Boss Lei's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an imposing aura.

"Since you already knew that Qingyunzi was unreliable, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

They insist on going through all this roundabout "partnership" stuff.

Do you know that if these three masters hadn't come today, all of us, including you, would have perished here?

Knowing he was in the wrong, Boss Wang could only hunch over, a sheepish smile plastered on his face, and wring his hands as he explained:

"Brother Lei, please calm down."

I'm just... I'm just afraid of letting you down.

You've come all this way to invite Master Qingyun; if I were to directly say he's no good, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?

I figured I should just consider it money spent for peace of mind, and also have these three masters cover for me, so there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong...

"Nonsense!"

Boss Lei glared at him, interrupting Boss Wang's sophistry.

There are priorities and urgency in everything!

Is my pride more important than our lives, or this serious project?

Besides, I advised you before that this piece of land was too large and that you shouldn't rush into it.

You wouldn't listen, you insisted on taking over this construction site in a hurry.

Don't you think about what would happen to your wife and children if something irreversible really happened today?

Are you expecting them to starve?

On the surface, Boss Lei's reprimand was an accusation that Boss Wang had concealed the truth and was too eager for quick success.

But in reality, every word and sentence reveals the older brother's concern for his younger brother and his disappointment in him not living up to his potential.

More importantly, his words, whether intentionally or unintentionally, elevated the three of us to a very high status.

At this point, Boss Lei seemed to feel that the time was about right.

He paused for a moment, turned around, and looked at me as I walked back.

At that moment, the stern look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely sincere expression.

He walked quickly to me, stretched out his hands, and grabbed my right hand.

"Mr. Chen, Lei is a rough man and doesn't mince words."

Boss Lei gripped my hand tightly and spoke sincerely.

"Thanks to your help today, everything was alright."

But Lao Wang is my brother of many years. If this hidden danger at the construction site isn't eliminated, all the hard work he's put into it for most of his life will be wasted.

He took a deep breath and looked at me intently.

"I know that the three of you have finished what you needed to do today."

But Mr. Lei shamelessly wanted to ask a few masters to help him to the very end, to see the Buddha through to the end.

Please do me the trouble of helping my brother completely eliminate this hidden danger underground.

Old Wang will still pay the five million incense money he promised. Not only that, I, Lei Hai, will personally contribute another five million to make it a round ten million for the three masters!

At this point, Boss Lei's tone became very bold:

"Of course, Lei also knows that what's underground is not to be trifled with."

If the three of you feel this price is not suitable, we can discuss it further.

Money is not a problem as long as things can be settled.

Upon hearing these words, I maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface, but I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart.

Goodness, I was wondering why Boss Lei suddenly started scolding Boss Wang so harshly in front of us.

So they're putting on a show for us, playing the emotional card!

First, he blamed Boss Wang for concealing the truth to save face and taking the blame upon himself.

Then, he used the concept of brotherhood to package this request.

Finally, they just threw in ten million in real money, leaving you no room for negotiation.

This series of moves combines both chivalrous principles and the lure of profit.

With this way of dealing with people, it's no wonder he became a big boss.

Looking into Boss Lei's expectant eyes and glancing at Boss Wang beside him who was also full of anticipation, I didn't give an immediate answer.

Ten million, divided equally among the three of us, is not an astronomical figure for me right now.

However, it is definitely a generous reward.

Moreover, this is only their initial offer.

However, Li Qing's words were still echoing in my ears.

The source beneath the foundation pit, capable of breeding that level of complex evil spirits, is definitely not a benevolent entity.

At this moment, the evil core within my body began to rotate slightly, seemingly sensing something subtle about some unknown entity underground.

Answer or not answer?

The night wind blew through the empty construction site gate, making a low, mournful sound.

Boss Lei's broad, kind hands were still tightly gripping my right hand, his face full of sincerity and expectation.

Standing next to him, Boss Wang held his breath, his eyes fixed on me, as if every word I said next would determine his life or death.

Ten million yuan for incense offerings is definitely a top-tier price in Jiangcheng's feng shui industry.

For any traveling swindler, this is a huge sum of money that would be enough to make him take a risk.

But I knew very well that this money was a hot potato.

To agree rashly without figuring out what's buried underneath is tantamount to playing with one's life.

Just as I was rapidly weighing the pros and cons in my mind, preparing a relatively tactful way to appease Boss Lei and postpone the matter,

"Since Boss Lei has put it this way, we'll take the job."

A somewhat lazy voice suddenly came from behind me.
