Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

At this moment, the other two deacons of the mortuary rushed out of their respective rooms in a panic.

Even the senior female student who was on duty at the shop in front today came to the courtyard.

With such a major incident, even the head of the mortuary was arrested by his inner sect master, so he couldn't possibly be on duty anymore.

Seeing the commotion, Wan Yi naturally came out as well.

One should be sociable!

If you stay out by yourself, it will be too conspicuous and attract attention, making it difficult to hide.

I might as well go out and join in the fun, or at least pretend to be one.

As soon as Wan Yi stepped into the courtyard, a sweet, charming voice rang out:

"Junior Brother Wan, do you know what happened?"

"How did Senior Brother Qian get captured by an inner sect master?"

Wan Yi looked up and saw a surge of waves.

A petite female doctor with a round face was staring at him.

She has a youthful face and large breasts.

This woman was Tao Xing, the only female disciple in the mortuary.

During the time Wan Yi came to the morgue, he only met her once or twice.

Although we hadn't interacted much, I had already formed my own judgment.

Tao Xing's breasts are dazzlingly large, but her heart is very small.

Moreover, judging from how she and Qian Zhuo usually act, their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

Disciples of the Demonic Sect have always been cold and indifferent, and even fellow disciples are prone to scheming against each other.

Tao Xing and Qian Zhuo usually speak and act with a certain intimacy, and their behavior has long exceeded the boundaries of normal fellow disciples.

Now, Tao Xing frowned, her face was pale, and she looked worried.

This appearance further confirmed Wan Yi's guess.

There's definitely something fishy going on between those two.

Wan Yi feigned ignorance, saying, "Senior Sister Tao, I don't know either. I've only been in the mortuary for a few days."

"I heard a commotion outside just now, and I saw that the senior brother in charge was taken away. Could it be that he's offended some powerful enemy?"

Tao Xing frowned, looking at Wan Yi's puzzled expression, and knew that asking this new disciple wouldn't be of much use.

She bit her lip and turned to ask the other two deacons, hoping to get some information out of them.

The two deacons looked at each other, neither of them said a word, and both hurriedly slipped out.

Seeing this, Wan Yi also made a hasty retreat.

It's not safe to stay here any longer. If Tao Xing keeps asking questions, or if someone from above comes to investigate, I could easily be implicated if I stay.

Thinking of this, Wan Yi cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Tao Xing, saying, "Senior Sister Tao, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, before Tao Xing could react, he slipped away quickly and left the Corpse-Sewing Room, heading towards the Corpse Puppet Hall.

Tao Xing watched the three people leave, her face growing increasingly grim, yet she felt utterly helpless.

Today it was her turn to be on duty at the front shop. According to the sect's rules, she could not leave without permission, otherwise it would be considered absenteeism and she would lose a lot of contribution points.

Tao Xing couldn't bear to part with the little bit of hard-earned contribution she had made, so she could only grit her teeth and walk towards the front shop with a worried look on her face.

……

Wan Yi arrived at the Corpse Puppet Hall, and as soon as he stepped inside, a voice rang out.

"Junior Brother Wan, come here quickly."

Wan Yi looked up and saw Jiang Chuan standing behind the counter looking at him with a happy expression on his face.

Judging from this, they must have received quite a bit of benefit from the Chen family.

Wan Yi pretended to look blank and walked over.

Before he could even get close, Jiang Chuan walked straight up to him, pulled him to a secluded corner, and whispered:

"Junior Brother Wan, has Qian Zhuo been arrested?"

Wan Yi deliberately frowned, feigning ignorance, and said, "That's right. I was in the mortuary just now, and I saw with my own eyes that Senior Brother Qian was taken away by an inner sect master. I wonder what happened?"

"Why are you suddenly asking this, senior brother?"

"Could it be...?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan's face lit up with even more joy: "That scoundrel Qian Zhuo is so audacious, he's actually involved in Chen Zizhi's disappearance."

Do you remember what you told me?

"The body that Qian Zhuo disposed of should be Chen Zizhi's body."

"The Chen family issued a bounty, and I provided them with the clues. Sure enough, they acted swiftly and captured Qian Zhuo."

He spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he were the one who had accomplished the great feat of capturing Qian Zhuoquan.

Wan Yi feigned sudden realization, widening his eyes in surprise, and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! No wonder Qian Zhuo was arrested; it turns out that's what happened!"

"Senior Brother Jiang, is it possible for Qian Zhuo to come back?"

Jiang Chuan scoffed, his face full of disdain: "Back?"

"He's barely surviving, let alone wanting to come back?"

"Don't they know who the Chen family is? They're a Foundation Establishment family. Killing an outer disciple is as easy as stepping on an ant."

"Besides, Qian Zhuo is nothing but a piece of trash with inferior talent. All he knows is how to scheme and get on the coattails of his senior uncle, the Left Remonstrance Master of the Inner Sect, to become the head of the Corpse-Sewing Room."

"Even if the Chen family kills this kind of person, they only need to compensate the sect with some contributions and that will be the end of it. No one will care about his life or death."

At this point, Jiang Chuan changed the subject and patted Wan Yi on the shoulder: "But Junior Brother Wan, you and I are different. We are of average talent, much better than that good-for-nothing Qian Zhuo."

"Even though we are only outer disciples now, if we are killed, the sect's punishment will be much more severe, and no one will dare to touch us easily."

Wan Yi quickly put on an admiring expression, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Jiang. I have learned a lot."

He was secretly cursing in his heart.

Is having average qualifications something to be proud of?

Wu Wei only killed one person, right?

He's just an outer disciple.

If he hadn't schemed against Qian Zhuo, he would have suffered the same fate.

Even when a sect imposes a punishment, it must be done effectively.

Seeing Wan Yi's admiring expression, Jiang Chuan felt a little smug, and his smugness deepened.

"I owe this opportunity to my junior brother."

"Once the Chen family's reward arrives, I will go into seclusion to cultivate for a period of time. Once I break through the Qi Refining stage and enter the inner sect, I will definitely protect you."

"If you follow me, you will naturally have the opportunity to break through the Qi Refining stage and enter the inner sect in the future."

Wan Yi was speechless.

Jiang Chuan is all talk and no action.

I've given you such a great opportunity, and you haven't even given me any thanks. That's too stingy of me.

Given Jiang Chuan's stingy nature, even if he were to break through to the Qi Refining Realm, it's hard to say whether he would protect me; he'd probably have long forgotten about me.

But it's fine, since I found this scapegoat anyway. As long as it prevents Qian Zhuo from coming back to take revenge on me, that's enough.

However, Wan Yi showed excitement and bowed deeply to Jiang Chuan: "Junior brother will follow senior brother from now on and will listen to senior brother's arrangements."

Jiang Chuan laughed loudly: "Excellent!"
