Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

The building in front of us has a grand and dignified facade, with the entire exterior wall made of matte dark gray stone. A carved plaque hangs high in the center, with several gilded characters engraved on it – Tangquanhui.

This is a public bathhouse.

The middle-aged man even opened the system panel to take a look.

I'm sure I didn't go to the wrong place; this is where Diofa is located.

And he did indeed see that pubic hair.

A middle-aged, muscular man with a buzz cut and a square face was standing at the entrance of Tangquanhui. His left arm was covered in tattoos, and his right arm was covered with a sleeve.

Beneath the sleeves should be a bloodless, dark blue-black corpse hand.

At this moment, Di'ao was standing at the entrance of Tangquanhui, looking around and occasionally opening the system panel to check for any information about Qi Xie.

"I asked you to choose a meeting point, and you chose a public bathhouse? What's with that?"

A sound suddenly came from the side.

Dio was startled and turned his head to look.

Behind him, a middle-aged man was looking at him with a strange expression.

Di Ao froze, looked the middle-aged man up and down, and said cautiously:

"Master Qi?"

His expression changed instantly, like a fly rubbing its hands together.

"Oh my god! Look at you, you've changed so much! I, Xiao Di, didn't recognize you at first glance. You should have told me sooner! If you had, I definitely would have come to greet you, hehehe..."

"Stop being cheeky."

Qi Xie pointed to the plaque and couldn't help but laugh, saying:

"To be honest, you're really something. Over the years, when you've asked someone to discuss business, I've heard of people asking them to have dinner in a private room or go to karaoke..."

I wouldn't be surprised if you arranged to go to a women's support center for those lacking emotional companionship, but to arrange it in a public bathhouse... you're a first.

Di'ao was taken aback, scratched his head and said:

"Hehehe... We arranged to meet at dinner to discuss business, but it's in the evening, and my friend will be there too..."

I was thinking of meeting with you, Mr. Qi, first and explaining the details to you…”

"Shall we meet at a public bathhouse?"

"Well... in our area, we feel that discussing business in a public bathhouse, where we can chat while showering, and being open and honest with each other, creates a greater sense of trust..."

Di'ao touched his buzz cut and chuckled:

"If you don't like it, Mr. Qi, shall we move to another spot now?"

Qi Xie was both amused and exasperated, but he didn't mind and shook his head, saying:

"Forget it, it doesn't matter where we talk. Let's go in; I've never tried a northern-style bathhouse before."

"Okay! Please come in!"

Upon hearing this, Di'ao became happy and led the way, guiding Qi Xie inside.

A few bluestone steps lead to the entrance, with neatly trimmed green plants on both sides and retro wall lamps casting a soft glow.

The transparent glass door was wide open, and a faint, warm, humid mist wafted out from inside, mixed with a delicate fragrance.

The overall style is luxurious yet understated, which shows that Diao Tiao put a lot of thought into this place.

The young lady sitting at the front desk clearly knew Di'ao, and stood up with a smile, saying warmly:

"Mr. Di, is this your friend?"

Dior waved his hand:

"Hey, this is my benefactor! You understand? My savior! Treat him with the highest level of hospitality!"

"Alright, please, both of you. The men's bathhouse is this way..."

Although Tangquanhui is roughly called a bathhouse, it seems to be positioned as a rather high-end place.

In addition to hot tubs, saunas, and buffet dining, there are even mini-bars and movie boxes, providing a full range of entertainment facilities.

However, although Qi Xie was very interested in things he had never experienced before, he still remembered his main purpose.

After changing into bath pants, Qi Xie soaked in the hot water pool, leaned against the edge, and started a conversation:

"Tell me the specifics. First, I need to know your friend's identity and what he's involved in. A calamity-level bizarre material—he wouldn't trust someone else to handle something of that caliber."

Di'ao was also soaking in the pool, leaning against the side, but he kept looking back and forth, seemingly looking at something.

Upon hearing Qi Xie's question, he quickly turned around and earnestly replied:

"Yes, mainly because it's not a respectable thing to do, he doesn't dare to do it openly, for fear that his family will find out."

"Hmm? Dishonorable?"

Qi Xie was puzzled.

Di'ao nodded, then looked around again before turning back to explain:

"My friend's surname is Li, and he comes from the Li family of wandering monks. I wonder if Master Qi has heard of the Li family?"

Qi Xie shook his head.

Di Ao said, "The Li family is a large family, mainly based in the Shanxi, Hebei and Inner Mongolia area. After the arrival of the strange dungeon, many of them became strange travelers, thus forming a traveler family. They are quite influential in the traveler circle."

My friend's name is Li Song, and he's nicknamed "Li the Coward." He's the second oldest in the Li family, so I call him Li the Second.

He's a bit timid, but he's good with words and knows how to read the room, which is why his grandfather likes him.

That calamity-level, bizarre material was a gift from the old man.

However, the old man of the Li family is now in poor health, and his family is looking for a new successor to the family headship.

Li Lao Er's personality is certainly not suitable for being the head of the family, but his father is capable; his father is a master.

However, his father's siblings are no pushovers either. They are currently locked in a fierce struggle, and any slight disturbance could become an excuse for them to attack each other, thus affecting the final outcome.

so……"

"Oh, I understand."

Qi Xie suddenly realized and nodded.

"It's a matter of face."

This calamity-level, bizarre material is a precious gift from the old man.

The old man is still alive, and you're blatantly selling such precious things to outsiders. Don't you care about your family?

If you, as the son, are like this, how could your father not know?

But he didn't care, which means your father isn't a good person either, and he's not fit to be the head of the family.

That's the logic.

Although saying that seems a bit far-fetched.

But for such large families...

Especially now that the fight for succession has reached such a point that people are fighting tooth and nail, no one cares whether the story is true or false anymore; as long as it is exposed, the opponent will tear it apart.

"Master Qi is so quick-witted, he understands as soon as we explain!"

Di'ao gave a thumbs up, not missing a single opportunity to flatter.

However, he then turned his head and looked behind him with a somewhat wary expression.

Qi Xie frowned slightly, taking it as a sign of wariness, and continued to ask:

"What's this about the bizarre request he mentioned? Is he being troubled by something strange in reality?"

"That's not something that's bothering him."

Dio glanced behind him a few more times before replying:

"Have you heard about the recent midnight student ghost incident in Yingchuan City, Mr. Qi?"

Qi Xie shook his head, and Di Ao continued:

"It's true, but the public doesn't know. We practitioners all know that this student ghost is probably a strange creature."

This so-called student ghost only appears after nightfall, wearing a blood-stained school uniform of unknown origin, and randomly attacks people walking at night nearby when it appears!

Those attacked have all fallen into a coma, and no way has yet been found to wake them up.

The student ghosts frequently appeared near the Li family's industrial company in Yingchuan, and the company was managed by Li Lao Er (Second Brother Li).

Upon hearing this, Qi Xie showed an expression of sudden realization:

"I understand... Li Song was afraid of being attacked while walking at night?"

"No, he's a big boss who doesn't even go to the company, what's there to be afraid of?"

The only problem is that the student ghost is causing trouble late at night, making everyone anxious. He can't let his employees work overtime until late, as it's affecting performance, which is a real headache.

Qi Xie, who inexplicably felt empathy for no apparent reason: "..."

Those damn capitalists...

……

That damn, heartless boss.

After Di'ao finished speaking, he looked back a few times.
