I also smiled bitterly and said, "Old Ancestor, others may not know my temper, but you know it, don't you? There's no need to test it. Even if the Seventh Master or the Eighth Master tells me, I will help you."
The old man sighed and said, "It is precisely because this matter involves the Seventh and Eighth Masters that Judge Cui is afraid that you will not agree."
"Oh, how is it connected?" I asked.
The old ancestor said that because the Seventh Master privately told us about the Chief Executive's fault, someone reported him to the police, and the Chief Executive was very angry and imprisoned them in the Niliwan Water Prison. Judge Cui was afraid that we had a good relationship with the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master, so he didn't care about the affairs of the underworld in a rage.
How can we just ignore this? We have to find that spy no matter what. Even if we can't save the Seventh and Eighth Masters, it will be considered revenge for them.
The old ancestor sighed again and said, "Actually... Well, I'd better tell you the truth. You saved Xiaoxue this time, angered the Chief Executive, and were punished by having your life shortened. This is what Judge Cui is really worried about."
I was stunned when I heard this. Damn it, who are we fighting for? Isn't it because the underworld wants to protect Xiaoxue? Working for the underworld, and then having my life shortened, how can this be justified? No wonder the ancestors have been beating around the bush with me. I really don't care.
"I see. I can't serve such a chief executive. Forefather, let them find someone else. I quit."
Shen Bing also said angrily: "Yes, no, let him find whoever he wants."
The old ancestor said helplessly: "You think about it first. Judge Cui and I are still pleading for you. Once the chief executive's anger has completely subsided, he should be lenient." After saying that, the old ancestor disappeared without saying goodbye to us, with a heavy heart.
The dead rat poked his head out of the bronze mirror and asked, "Are you really not going to work for the underworld?"
"Why would I help him? From now on, I will no longer be involved in anything in the underworld." I said angrily.
"Haha, then I don't have to patrol at night from now on. But you still have to offer roast chicken every day, otherwise I won't be able to help you with any advice in the future." The dead rat said and slid back into the room with a whoosh.
"Hey, hey..." I called out twice but failed to stop it. I still have to protect Xiaoxue and Wei Ziling. This is a human favor and has nothing to do with the underworld.
Just when I was thinking of chanting a spell to invite it out, a shadow flashed at the door and a female ghost floated in. Business is coming, so I'll collect the ghost teeth first. I recognized this female ghost as she had been here several times. If I remember correctly, the first time Shen Bing came to the store that day, she was scared to the ground by this female ghost.
"Mr. Xi, we have guests. I'll come back another day." The female ghost still spoke in the same tactful and polite tone as before, but it sounded eerie and gave people goose bumps.
How could Shen Bing forget her? She stuck out her tongue in fear and said quickly: "I'm not his guest, I'm his..." I turned to look at her, waiting for her to say it was her husband, but she paused for a long time and uttered one word: "...sister!" I almost fainted.
"Oh, is that so? Then I won't leave."
This female ghost was still alone in the underworld, feeling lonely and depressed, and having trouble getting rid of the depression. I gave her some medicine, and she had already placed the ghost tooth on the table. She took the medicine, thanked me, and walked out of the house, but she didn't leave. Through the crack in the door, I saw her still wandering outside.
Shen Bing and I were curious. It was almost the end of the hour of Chou and time to go back to the underworld, but she seemed to be worried about something and didn't want to leave.
