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

Having said that, Qingyunzi didn't hesitate at all and turned to walk towards the living room door.

Seeing this, Director Wang could only sigh helplessly, stand up from the sofa, and follow behind to see the guests off.

He knew his uncle's temper all too well.

However, when he reached the entrance hall, the old Taoist priest suddenly stopped.

He didn't turn around, he just stood there, silent for about two or three seconds.

"Tianxiang."

Qingyunzi's voice rang out in the empty entrance hall, no longer in the casual tone of before, but with the solemnity of an elder to a younger generation.

"That Chen Yang, that kid is really good."

Qingyunzi slightly turned his head, glancing at Director Wang out of the corner of his eye, his tone carrying a hint of admiration:

"At such a young age, his inner energy has already been refined to such a high level."

What's even more remarkable is that he also possesses an air of integrity and uprightness.

He acted decisively and launched fierce attacks, but his mind was calm enough that he was not blinded by the fierce aura emanating from him.

He's a promising talent.

After making this comment, Qingyunzi turned around and reached out to grasp the doorknob.

"Take good care of him, because the waters of this world are probably getting muddier and muddier in the future."

With such a young man around, you all have more confidence.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyunzi didn't linger and decisively pressed the doorknob.

He pushed open the door and strode into the deep night outside the stairwell.

Director Wang stood at the door, watching Qingyunzi's unusually carefree figure disappear from sight, and sighed again.

He reached out and grasped the doorknob, just about to close the door.

Just then, the old Taoist's powerful voice suddenly drifted up from the depths of the corridor and clearly reached Director Wang's ears.

"Oh, by the way, I also took those two cartons of special-supply cigarettes that were hidden under your bedside table."

Consider this your interest on your years of not visiting me, a token of respect for your uncle!

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was stunned for a moment, then his calm expression changed drastically as if he had remembered something extremely terrifying.

"Holy crap! My cigarette!"

Director Wang let out a pig-like wail, not even bothering to close the door.

Dragging his flip-flops, he scrambled and stumbled toward his bedroom with an agility completely disproportionate to his size.

……

The next morning, my biological clock woke me up precisely at seven o'clock.

After yawning, I threw off the thin blanket and sat up in bed.

I habitually closed my eyes and checked my internal condition.

Deep within the dantian, the evil core was slowly rotating in a steady and ever-renewing rhythm, bringing a sense of fullness and power.

Especially after the brief outburst at the construction site last night, the circulation through the arms and chest seems to have become smoother.

That faint golden glimmer hidden within the malevolent aura was exceptionally clear in the tranquil morning light, making me feel warm all over.

After stretching, I got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After tidying up for a while, I pushed open the bedroom door and walked towards the hall on the third floor.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I smelled a faint aroma of tea.

I looked up and saw that it was Li Qing, sprawled out on the rosewood sofa without any regard for his image.

He was wearing a wrinkled gray hoodie and had faint dark circles under his eyes.

He was holding a cup of steaming hot tea in his hand, and was casually sipping it.

Hearing my footsteps, Li Qing turned around.

He looked me up and down, and seeing how neatly dressed and ready to go out, he immediately curled his lip.

"I knew it."

Li Qing put down his teacup, stretched, and spoke with a hint of helplessness and a touch of mockery.

"I knew you were destined to be a workaholic. You definitely won't be able to stay idle today and will be going to work at the funeral home."

I've been drinking tea here for half an hour, waiting for you for ages.

Seeing his sleepy yet forced-to-complain appearance, I couldn't help but smile and sat down on the single sofa opposite him.

"What's wrong?"

I leaned back on the sofa and asked in return:

"Didn't Master Li confidently say last night that he would personally go to the construction site to oversee things at noon today?"

"Is what's down there too terrifying? Is Master Li unsure and wants me, a layman, to accompany him to bolster his courage?"

After hearing this, Li Qing rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively.

"Go away, stop embarrassing me."

Li Qing picked up the teacup, took another sip, and said with a look of disgust.

"There's no need for you, Advisor Chen, to come here."

Anyway, all I did this afternoon was direct the excavator to dig some soil, scout out the location, and see what exactly was buried under that foundation pit.

This is a minor incident; I, the master, can handle it all by myself.

Seeing his confident demeanor, my smile deepened.

Clearly, Li Qing understands me, just as I understand him.

Regarding the excavation at the construction site this afternoon, it's just as Li Qing himself said.

It was just a scouting trip to let that thing buried deep underground see the light of day.

Since Li Qing dared to tell the construction team to dig as they pleased in front of Boss Lei and Boss Wang last night, it proves that he already had a plan in mind and a comprehensive strategy to deal with any unexpected situations.

Since he could handle the initial probing all by himself, I didn't bother to go to the outskirts of the city with him.

Instead of spending my time eating dust and basking in the sun at a construction site, I'd rather go back to the funeral home and do some work or relax.

After all, being an embalmer is my official job.

Although neither of us said it explicitly last night, we have clearly reached a tacit understanding regarding the division of labor for today.

I really didn't expect that this guy, knowing I wasn't going, would still get up early and wait for me in the lobby.

"If you can handle this all by yourself, why are you waiting for me here so early in the morning?"

I picked up the tea that Li Qing had poured for me on the tea table, took a sip, and asked with some curiosity.

"Where's Lao Jin? Isn't he going to join the fun with you today?"

"Old Jin isn't up this early; he's probably still fast asleep."

Li Qing offered an explanation, then changed the subject, clearing up my doubts.

He put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and looked at me, saying:

"I'm waiting for you here, not to make you do my work, but just to borrow something from you."

"Borrow something?"

I was slightly taken aback.

"What do you need? A compass or a Bagua mirror?"

"Go away, do I need to borrow those things from you?"

Li Qing shook his head, his eyes becoming serious.

"What I want to borrow is the malevolent energy within you."

Hearing this, I raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.
