“Son-in-law, Tingting’s second grandfather passed away in a foreign land. We hired a Maoshan corpse-raiser to bring him back home…”
“This guy isn’t skilled enough, he lost my second uncle and wouldn’t admit it. He made them bury an empty coffin. If you’re free, can you come back and help find the body?”
Ren Fa’s voice was tinged with faint fatigue, anger towards the corpse-raiser, and a hint of cautiousness.
Mu Chen had a tight grip on the family’s throne.
After listening to Ren Fa, a glimmer flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes.
The zombie world was filled with many familiar movie plots. From Ren Wei Yong to the bandit King and Queen, and then to the royal zombie, they were all the best evidence.
But first, this was a real world, and movie plots were just a drop in the ocean of this world.
Like a mountain, it couldn’t represent the entire universe.
The plots of "Mr. Zombie", "Mr. Spiritual", and "Uncle Zombie" were just a coincidence where Mu Chen happened to meet the right people at the right time.
After all, although the current era is chaotic and yin and yang are reversed, leading to frequent demonic activity, extraordinary bosses like Ren Wei Yong and the royal zombie are still quite rare.
Instead of wandering around trying his luck in finding such demonic creatures, it would be better to start with the plot characters.
Now, Ren Fa’s letter confirmed that Mu Chen’s thinking was not wrong!
If he guessed correctly, the matter Ren Fa mentioned was the plot of the musical zombie!
The inept Maoshan disciple, Mama Di, was already a half-baked sorcerer, yet he dared to take on students and accept business. That was fine, but his two disciples were also half-baked sorcerers!
Unfortunately, none of the three had any self-awareness. One dared to hand over the next job to his disciples, while the other dared to handle matters taught by his master!
As expected, the unexpected happened.
The half-baked disciple lost the body.
The three half-baked master and disciples used a fake body to deceive the family. If the zombie hadn’t later killed someone and caused a big commotion, perhaps the family still wouldn’t know their grandfather’s grave was empty!
Mu Chen knew the plot direction but was also a little confused.
In the original plot, it was Jiu Shu who stepped in to clean up Mama Di’s mess, but Ren Fa’s letter didn’t mention this.
He looked at Si Mu and Qian He: “What? Maoshan made a mistake, and someone else has to wipe their ass?”
Si Mu smiled wryly: “Brother Dao, it’s a funny coincidence…”
“A few days ago during the Ghost Festival, two disciples under Master Yi Mei were bewitched by a ghost and actually attacked the ghost messengers, releasing souls that had returned from the underworld…”
“These two things happened at the same time. Master Yi Mei is too busy dealing with those disciples to help Mama Di. Besides, Brother Dao is considered a member of the victim’s family, so Master Yi Mei asked you to help out first.”
The paper cranes were not just from Ren Fa to Mu Chen, but also from Jiu Shu to him.
Jiu Shu explained the whole situation to him, and he also knew that this matter was Maoshan’s fault.
But there was no way around it. Some matters were more urgent than others. Not only did he receive Jiu Shu’s paper crane message, but so did Qian He and all the other Maoshan disciples of their generation!
They all had to go to Renjia Town and work together as a generation to capture the thousands of released souls and give the underworld an explanation.
Mu Chen laughed: “Tsk, can I understand it this way? My family paid you Maoshan money, you took the money, messed things up, and now we have to bear the consequences ourselves?”
Si Mu quickly shook his head, clarifying: “That… isn’t the case. I think once Maoshan is free, they will definitely give Brother Dao and the Ren family an explanation…”
“No need!”
Mu Chen interrupted before Si Mu finished, and said seriously: “You slept with someone’s daughter, so naturally you have to stand up for them. I’ll take care of this. An explanation? Maoshan doesn’t need to give one, I’ll get it myself!”
“I’ve stayed here long enough. I’ll leave and go see what’s going on.”
He stood up and pulled the little fox towards the door. When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around, and looked at Si Mu and Qian He with calm, deep eyes like a pool: “We’ve gotten along pretty well these past few days. Don’t act up in the future, or I won’t want to end up killing you both.”
Qian He: …
Si Mu: …
You, Mama Di, why did you have to provoke him, Pure Yangzi?
In their hearts, they cursed Mama Di to hell for making him lose his mind!
Ever since Mu Chen beat up the Grandmaster.
Every night, the Grandmaster, with a bruised and swollen face, would come to them in their dreams, begging them to be nice to Mu Chen.
…
“Yes, that’s right, treat him as you treat me. You two, show some respect!”
…
“Relationship remains the same? How is that possible?! Tell me! Did you not treat him like a grandfather?!”
…
“You dog, you’re sleeping soundly! I, the Grandmaster, can’t sleep!!!”
Seeing the Grandmaster becoming increasingly irritable and his injuries becoming more severe day by day, they were worried!
They were still figuring out how to please Mu Chen, but their useless senior brother stabbed them in the back!
They hadn’t even settled the Grandmaster’s affairs yet, and the sect might have a falling out with Mu Chen because of Mama Di!
It was…
A disaster!
On one hand was the sect that raised them, and on the other hand was their savior. It wasn’t appropriate to favor either side!
“Senior brother, what do we do?”
“Let it be! Whatever happens, happens. All we can do is act dead.”
“The key is that we still need to speak up for Brother Dao. He has… phew! He’s in the right, right?”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
The two of them called their disciples to pack their bags and started talking casually.
After talking about Mu Chen, Qian He hesitated and asked, “Senior brother, are you going to sleep tonight…”
“Sleep!”
“Yeah, I’m going to sleep too!”
The two brothers looked righteous and serious, but their hearts were thinking, If I close my eyes tonight, you can call me a loser!
