Clues in Carrying and Stitching Corpses

A sound of flapping wings came from the air. Xu Bai turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and found two pigeons standing on the eaves of the Shadow Courier Station room.

"Pigeon?"

Not just pigeons, but two pigeons. At this moment, the two pigeons on the eaves are whispering to each other, appearing very close.

These days, even animals are starting to show off their affection.

Xu Bai was the first to react, but Chu Yu was the first to stand up and run to the eaves.

"My pigeons!" Chu Yu pointed to the pigeons on the eaves, turned her head to look at Xu Bai, and her excitement was self-evident.

As she reached out her hand, one of the pigeons fluttered its wings and slowly landed in Chu Yu's palm.

Another pigeon is still standing on the eaves.

"There's only one." Chu Yu gently stroked the pigeon's feathers and took out the note tied to its leg.

She tilted her head again, looking at another pigeon on the eaves, then turned to Xu Bai and said, "It looks like yours."

Xu Bai also came to the eaves and looked up.

At this time, a carrier pigeon could only be found among Yun Zihai's people.

When the pigeon saw Xu Bai approaching, it flew down from the roof and landed on Xu Bai's shoulder.

As for why the pigeons could distinguish between people, unlike the pigeons in his previous life, Xu Bai couldn't explain it either.

Another world is naturally different.

Since we've come to another world, we must respect its settings and not be argumentative.

Using the worldview from a previous life to explain the setting of this fantasy world is tantamount to applying it blindly.

After removing the paper strip from the pigeon's leg, Xu Bai let go, and the pigeon fluttered away.

On the other side, Chu Yu's pigeon also flew away, and she also took down the note.

Because she was ahead of the game, she had already read the contents of the note. After putting it down, she had a strange look in her eyes.

Xu Bai originally wanted to read the contents of the note in his hand first, but after seeing Chu Yu's expression, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yu snapped out of her daze, raised the note in her hand, and handed it to Xu Bai: "Uncle has lifted the restrictions on the royal family."

Royal family?

Xu Bai became interested as soon as this was mentioned.

He didn't look at the note in his hand, but instead opened the Chu Yu handed him. When he saw what it said, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"That's normal."

A simple and straightforward answer.

The note contained very simple information: the emperor had loosened the restrictions on the royal family, allowing them to no longer be limited to the sixth rank of education.

This includes recruiting subordinates, and is not limited to those of the sixth rank.

Of course, how many you can recruit depends entirely on your abilities.

In Xu Bai's view, it was normal for the emperor to lift the restrictions.

Initially, the restrictions placed on the royal family were ostensibly because the emperor wanted to seize all power, but in reality, it was merely a means to Rising Dusk King.

The purpose was to find a disloyal member of the royal family and use that as a condition for the resurrection of Rising Dusk King.

Now that Rising Dusk King has been resurrected, there is naturally no need to restrict him. Restricting the royal family is actually a form of restriction on him.

For a proud person like the emperor, no matter how much the royal family members grow, he can still control them with one hand.

"However, the situation may change," Xu Bai thought to himself.

Now that the restrictions on the royal family have been lifted, things are no longer like they used to be, which was just like playing house. Things have become much more complicated, and the old established order will change.

However, this had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to get involved in the royal family's conflicts and just wanted to peacefully guard his own little corner of the world.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai returned the note to Chu Yu and then opened the note in his own hand.

Just as he suspected, the note was indeed sent to him by Yun Zihai, and the content was very simple, roughly meaning that he had received news.

After reading the above, Xu Bai turned around and patted Chu Yu on the shoulder.

Chu Yu was taken aback, looking at Xu Bai with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.

"We've got work to do. Go to Yunlai Prefecture," Xu Bai said.

"Work?" Chu Yu tilted her head, still not understanding.

"Lock the door, let's go over first, you'll know when we get there." Xu Bai didn't explain any further.

Since things had come to this point, Chu Yu didn't ask any more questions. She turned around, locked the door, and followed behind Xu Bai.

Xu Bai turned around and looked at the empty Shadow Courier Station. At this time, none of the Courier Folk had arrived, making it seem rather deserted.

"I've only been the postmaster for a couple of days, and I'm already out working again."

He thought that after this matter was over, he would call Liu Er over and ask him to help guard the Shadow Courier Station, so that he would have extra time to check if there was any progress.

The two did not linger and left Shadow Courier Station directly, heading towards Yunlai Prefecture.

There were no carriages along the way; they had to walk the entire way. Don't let Chu Yu's seemingly dull appearance fool you; she was actually a sixth-rank expert and her speed was by no means slow.

The two of them did not stop along the way and hurried towards Yunlai Prefecture. After walking for nearly an hour, just as they were getting closer and closer to Yunlai Prefecture, Xu Bai stopped.

As Xu Bai stopped, Chu Yu also stopped. She looked around blankly, but then her blank expression disappeared, replaced by a serious and wary look.

Despite her naiveté, Chu Yu still possessed some basic life skills; for example, she didn't hesitate when faced with danger.

At first, there was a slight breeze around us, but after we arrived at this open space, the breeze gradually disappeared, and everything became quiet.

"There are a lot of people," Chu Yu said.

A slight tremor came from the ground, and there was a dense sound of footsteps ahead.

The grove of trees was collapsing at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, the grove in front of them was completely destroyed, and a group of people appeared in front of them.

Xu Bai drew his ghost-head Ghost-Head Saber from his waist, looked at the hundred or so people in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"These guys are really reckless."

Throughout his time in this circle, the enemies he encountered were all clandestine. This was the first time he had encountered such a large-scale, well-organized operation, mobilizing over a hundred people to surround and ambush him.

This indicates that the other party wields immense power in Yunlai Prefecture and is completely unconcerned about the risk of exposure, or perhaps the information is blocked and cannot be leaked at all.

But no matter what, the most important thing now is to solve the immediate problem.

More than a hundred people stood in front of Xu Bai, each of them masked except for their eyes.

They each carried different weapons, some even empty-handed, clearly having come prepared and concealing their identities.

There was no communication between the two sides, not even a single word was exchanged, and the other party decisively chose to make a move.

A hundred or so people charged forward, their auras formidable, and even the weakest among them were eighth-rank experts.

"The first lesson in the martial world is that you must never show mercy when you encounter an enemy." Xu Bai looked at Chu Yu and said, "Kill them all."

Chu Yu was slightly taken aback, then nodded vigorously and rushed into the crowd faster than Xu Bai.

She didn't use any special moves; she just casually slapped or punched, and each punch and palm strike sent five or six people flying backward.

These were no ordinary people; the weakest among them were at least eighth-rank experts. Yet, in Chu Yu's hands, they were as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

The Formless Heart Sutra emphasizes doing as one pleases, without fixed moves. Every punch and every palm strike comes from one's own will.

With Xu Bai's words, Chu Yu became very serious, putting all her strength into every move, with the goal of killing her opponent.

Xu Bai stood there for a while, then nodded silently.

No wonder Rising Dusk King sent his daughter here to be taught by him. If such a personality falls into the hands of bad people, who knows what kind of person she will become.

Seeing that Chu Yu was handling things with ease, Xu Bai didn't stop either. He took the first step and used the Four-Directional Step Technique.

This step seemed extremely short, but it only took a moment to disappear into the crowd, and then the long sword in his hand began to move.

Each cut ended a life; each cut was precise, striking the neck.

With each Masked Man's death, an invisible stream of energy flowed along the blade, replenishing Xu Bai's depleted True Yuan Power.

Within the Purple Firmament Yin-Yang Reversal, there exists a Heart Slaughtering Technique, extremely suitable for group battles. After killing an enemy, one can replenish oneself, becoming stronger with each battle.

Xu Bai wielded the knife with effortless skill, making it a highly visually appealing weapon, yet within that visual appeal lay boundless and endless killing intent.

Almost every enemy was unable to withstand even a single move from him before they met their demise.

Between the two, it was a veritable feast of slaughter. These hundred-plus people were like ants, utterly unable to shake the giant tree.

In less than half an incense stick's time, there were no living people left on the field.

Xu Bai originally wanted to leave one alive, but the other party ate the same poison that Ou Courier Chief had eaten before, and instantly turned into blood.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

There are many people in this group, and each of them is quite strong, but they are far from enough to deal with him.

Since the other party has such a deep-rooted presence in Yunnan Prefecture, why would they do something so foolish as to send a group of opponents they are not confident in to deal with them? Isn't that just sending sheep into the tiger's den?

Xu Bai increasingly felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't figure out why.

"I feel so nauseous." Chu Yu's face was a little pale as she walked over, clutching her stomach and sticking out her tongue. "I feel like throwing up."

She wasn't overexerted or injured, but the smell of blood made her feel nauseous.

"You didn't hesitate at all when you killed him. This isn't your first time killing someone, is it?" Xu Bai glanced at Chu Yu with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Chu Yu scratched his head blankly, making no attempt to hide his thoughts. He said, "No, when I was in the Imperial Palace, my uncle would arrange for me to kill a death row inmate every day. He said that being simple-minded was fine, but in this world, you can't do without being able to kill."

Xu Bai: "..."

Looking at Chu Yu's innocent face, yet hearing the lewd words she uttered, there was a strange sense of disparity.

"Let's get going," Xu Bai said.

In any case, we will overcome any obstacle, as long as the other side uses any means necessary, we can simply respond accordingly. The most important thing now is to get there and see if there is any movement from Yunlai Prefecture.

The two did not linger any longer and continued their journey towards Yunlai Prefecture.

A while after they left, a young man in white suddenly appeared on the open ground that was full of corpses.

The young man was dressed in white, with a white cloth covering his eyes and tied behind his head.

He had an ordinary appearance, nothing particularly outstanding, and his hands were not holding anything.

"His swordsmanship is superb, and he also has a special movement technique. His mental cultivation method has several characteristics, and this time he only tested the characteristics of group combat."

"And that woman, she seems to be using the Formless Heart Sutra, which is hailed as a book of unparalleled quality in the Imperial Library."

"We need to try again. This Xu Bai is definitely more than just this; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten involved in the Rising Dusk King's affair."

The young man muttered to himself, and after a while, he turned around and left the woods.

Yunlai Prefecture.

Yun Zihai flicked his hand, wiping away the forked ends on the brush.

"Ahem." Yun Zihai coughed softly, his pale face expressionless.

In front of him was a piece of paper, which he had rolled into a strip.

"The third letter, which went straight to the imperial court, still received no response. It seems it was intercepted en route."

"But I followed the carrier pigeon all the way out of Yunlai Prefecture and there was nothing unusual. Am I supposed to just chase after it?"

"No, what if they're using this as a diversionary tactic? I'll be in big trouble."

As he straightened the forked ends on the brush, he pondered silently.

During this period, he had sent three letters to the imperial court, but the results were unsatisfactory, with no response whatsoever.

This situation made him wonder if someone had intercepted the carrier pigeons, preventing him from receiving any messages.

However, he couldn't chase them too far. If he chased them out of Yunlai Prefecture, it might be another diversionary tactic, and if he fell into their trap, he would be in real trouble.

Up to now, he seems to have lost contact with the outside world, but there is one place that is not a problem, and that is Xu Bai's Shadow Courier Station.

"I hope Brother Xu can come over soon," Yun Zihai thought.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard footsteps outside the door. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw Xu Bai walking in with the girl he had met before.

Yun Zihai's face lit up with joy. He stood up and walked towards Xu Bai. After taking two steps, he stopped and frowned slightly.

"Brother Xu, have you been ambushed?"

Just now, he smelled a faint scent of blood on Xu Bai, which was obviously left from a battle.

"More than a hundred people, the weakest of whom is an eighth-rank expert," Xu Bai said.

From the moment Chu Yu entered the Prefectural Office, she always lagged behind Xu Bai, following behind him, looking just like a real maid.

However, those eyes, bright and lively, surveyed their surroundings with curiosity about everything.

"The other side has made such a big show of force; they seem to have nothing to fear." Yun Zihai thought the same thing as Xu Bai: the other side dared to send so many people; they must have a backup plan.

Xu Bai waved his hand. "Let's not talk about that now. Brother Yun, you said you found a clue. Take me to see it."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zihai didn't dwell on the matter and quickly led Xu Bai to the nearby prison.

This is the prison cell located in the Prefectural Office. It is dark and gloomy, with no other light source except for the oil lamps mounted on the walls.

This scene felt strangely familiar to Xu Bai, as if some memory was attacking him. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized what it meant.

Isn't this just like the scene at Fierce Tiger Stronghold? The prison at Fierce Tiger Stronghold was also dark and desolate.

So much time has passed since Fierce Tiger Stronghold, but the experience in that prison cell is still vivid in my mind. After all, it was my first time killing someone, and also the first time I awakened.

As he walked, he reminisced. Sometimes, reminiscing can bring people pleasant emotions. As Xu Bai thought about those things, his steps became a little lighter without him even realizing it.

"Here." Yun Zihai led Xu Bai for a while, arriving at the innermost cell. Pointing to the person inside, he said, "Brother Xu, doesn't this person look familiar?"

The cell was dark, but Yun Zihai had added an oil lamp for it. In the dim light, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly after he could see the person in the cell.

This was an ordinary-looking young man with a worn-out shoulder bag slung around his waist, bearing many signs of mending.

"Zheng Jin?"

Xu Bai still remembered this person's name. Wasn't he the coroner he had met when he came to Yunnan Prefecture?

Oh right, it seems to be Shadow Coroner, a special profession.

"Is there something wrong with him?" Xu Bai asked.

Yun Zihai nodded and said, "Brother Xu, do you remember what I told you before? The autopsy report this guy gave me was extremely perfunctory, with not a single useful piece of information on it. Any ordinary coroner could have done that kind of autopsy report."

"The Shadow Coroner is good at finding traces of the dead, especially the dead. He is a professional who speaks for the dead. It shouldn't be like this..." Chu Yu clung to the bars of the cell, trying to get her face close to the gap in the cell, full of curiosity.

Xu Bai pressed down on Chu Yu's head and pulled Chu Yu back, saying, "If you want to go in and stay for a while, I can open a back door for you."

Chu Yu quickly shrank back and shook her head rapidly. "No, no, going to jail is bad luck."

She was just curious; she's not stupid. Who would want to stay there in this situation? Seeing that Chu Yu had calmed down, Xu Bai ignored her and continued, "Have you found any useful information?"

Yun Zihai, "We did find out, but this guy answered too quickly. I even suspect he might be deliberately trying to turn the tables on us."

As he spoke, he pulled a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed them to Xu Bai, indicating that these were Zheng Jin's statements.

Xu Bai took the stack of papers and scanned them carefully from beginning to end. "The Ye Family?"

The content here seems extensive, but ultimately it all points to one family: the Ye Family.

Yun Zihai explained, "The wealthy families in Yunlai Prefecture originally worked as Corpse Carrier. However, due to the frequent wars and the large number of deaths during that era, they became rich and settled here. The current head of the Ye Family, in addition to being Corpse Carrier, also practiced martial arts and is very skilled in combat."

Carrying a corpse doesn't mean literally carrying the dead person on your back; it's a ritualistic practice.

They dug a hole, removed the side panel of the coffin, and climbed inside backwards, not daring to face down; they did all the work with their hands behind their backs. This is why it's called "carrying the corpse."

To learn this profession, you must meet two conditions: first, be bold; second, be ugly.

Being brave is one thing, but being ugly is another. After all, it's a job to carry corpses. To avoid any mishaps on the road and to prevent the corpses they carry from becoming strange, being ugly has a natural advantage.

Ugliness can ward off evil.

As for the underlying principles, only those in this industry can know.

"How good are they?" Xu Bai asked, noticing another spot.

Yun Zihai thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then gestured with his hands. "The current head of the Ye Family is called Ye Men, a sixth-grade dual cultivation master. It is said that he can fight ten masters of the same grade."

"Can you take on ten?" Xu Bai was slightly surprised after hearing Yun Zihai's answer.

This was beyond his expectations. For one person to be able to fight ten masters of the same rank was no longer a question of whether he could fight, but rather that he was extremely capable of fighting.

"However, after checking, I found that his family doesn't have any special background. He just made a fortune during that period and didn't cause any trouble in Yunlai Prefecture. Since then, he has been running his own business and occasionally taking on some jobs in his field." Yun Zihai coughed.

These days, you need some connections to get anything done. If you don't have connections, you have to keep a low profile.

If it's really as Yun Zihai investigated, and the Ye Family has no background, then why would they dare to do such a big thing?

Attacking two high-ranking officials of the imperial court is a serious crime.

"Perhaps you haven't found out, maybe there's some hidden background." Xu Bai said slowly, "What's your plan for calling me here?"

Now that a clue has been found, given Xu Bai's temperament, he could just go and find it directly. However, Yun Zihai must have his own reasons for calling him over alone, and he wanted to hear them before making a decision.

"Actually, the reason I called Brother Xu over was to borrow the medicine you have, the kind of poison specifically used to force confessions," Yun Zihai said, looking very ashamed.

He had just arrived at the Prefectural Office and there were no capable people to help him, so he was essentially the only one working on the job.

"So you haven't gotten the truth yet. That's fine. By the way, where's Liu Er?" It was only then that Xu Bai realized that Liu Er was not in the Prefectural Office.

He had lent Liu Er to Yun Zihai, but now it seems Yun Zihai has reassigned Liu Er to another place.

"I've arranged for Liu Er to be stationed at the Ye Family, and he's currently observing Ye Family movements," Yun Zihai explained.

Xu Bai frowned. "He's just a ninth-rank martial artist. Is it safe for you to send him there?"

"Brother Xu, rest assured, I gave him a piece of paper with an article I wrote on it. If there is any danger, I will protect him immediately. Even a sixth-rank expert would need some time to break through. And the Ye Family is very close to the Prefectural Office, so I can get there in time." Yun Zihai gave a reassuring look.

"I see."

Having received a reply, Xu Bai temporarily put aside Liu Er's matter, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, and was about to open the door when he suddenly stopped.

Yun Zihai looked puzzled, not understanding what Xu Bai was trying to do.

He recognized the medicine bottle; it contained the pills Xu Bai often used to extract confessions.

Xu Bai turned to look at Chu Yu, tossed the medicine bottle in his hand to her, and then took out medicine for treating external injuries and threw it to Chu Yu at the same time.

Chu Yu was still staring curiously at the cell when Xu Bai threw over two medicine bottles. She hurriedly caught them, her clear black and white eyes full of doubt.

Why give her the medicine bottle?

Wasn't she just here to fill in a role? "Young Master..." Chu Yu was about to speak when Xu Bai interrupted her.

Xu Bai drew his Ghost-Head Saber from his waist, threw it to Chu Yu, pointed at Zheng Jin in the cell, and said, "Go and cut off his hands and feet, then treat him with external wound medicine, and finally, give him another bottle of poison."

Chu Yu: "..."

"Didn't you understand?" Xu Bai shouted.

He had been looking for an opportunity for Chu Yu to put her knowledge into practice, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so, so he couldn't let it slip by easily.

After all, I've accepted a Nameless Saber Scripture from someone, so I still need to put in some effort; after all, I'm just doing a job for money.

In business, integrity is key to attracting repeat customers.

Chu Yu Yu's face was full of refusal, and she put on a pitiful look, saying, "Young Master, I'll just kill him with one strike. I don't want to do these things."

Her uncle taught her how to kill, but he never taught her to harm people in this way. She couldn't bear it.

"If you're not going to do it, go back. You're not welcome here," Xu Bai said sternly.

Chu Yu immediately shuddered and quickly said, "I'll do it, I'll do it, but can we find a compromise? I'll cut off his hands and feet, and you can apply the medicine to him, young master."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Bai with pleading eyes.

Xu Bai stroked his chin, then snatched the medicine bottle from Chu Yu's hand and said, "Next time, you'll handle everything."

Chu Yu felt as if she had been granted a pardon and nodded her head rapidly.

Teaching needs to be done step by step; otherwise, it will be counterproductive.

Xu Bai felt that if Chu Yu took the first step, things would go much smoother afterward.

That's true. The first time, it will inevitably be very dry. You'll gradually get it smoother.

Although Yun Zihai didn't understand what the two of them were doing, he didn't ask any questions. Only after the two of them finally made up their minds did he open the cell door.

"Brother Xu, Zheng Jin has been crippled by me and poses no threat whatsoever."

Finally, he added a sentence.

Xu Bai led Chu Yu inside.

At this moment, Zheng Jin, who had been facing away from them, turned around, his face looking haggard. When he saw Xu Bai, his haggardness was tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Lord Xu has also arrived."

His words were calm, as if he weren't the one in jail.

"I'll give you a chance to tell me everything you know, otherwise, the consequences will be painful," Xu Bai said expressionlessly.

"I've told you everything I know. The Ye Family ordered me to do it, and Lord Yun already knows that." Zheng Jin shrugged, indicating that he had confessed truthfully.

Xu Bai looked at Chu Yu, his eyes conveying a clear meaning.

Chu Yu gritted her teeth, raised the Ghost-Head Saber, and swung it casually.

The next moment, Zheng Jin's limbs were all severed.

But a strange thing happened: no blood flowed from the cut; it was empty, with nothing there.

It has flesh and bones, but no blood.

"As expected of Lord Xu, the rumors of his ruthlessness in the martial arts world are indeed true." Zheng Jin was slightly surprised as he looked at himself lying on the ground.

This was the first time Xu Bai had ever seen such a scene.

His hands and feet had been cut off, but no blood flowed out; he didn't look like a human being.

"Young Master, he doesn't seem to be Shadow Coroner, but rather a member of a branch of the Corpse Carrier, Corpse Stitcher," Chu Yu whispered to Xu Bai.

Seemingly worried that Xu Bai wouldn't understand, she explained it again.

"Legend has it that if the Corpse Carrier bumps or knocks during the process of carrying the corpse, the Corpse Stitcher will stitch it up. The most outrageous method of stitching is to stitch oneself up with the corpse, leaving only the head."

"The effect of doing this is to achieve a kind of longevity conversion. When their lifespan is about to end, they are grafted onto another corpse, so that they have a pseudo-lifespan."

"But the cost of doing so is very high. They have no sense of feeling or touch, not even pain, and no fighting ability. They just live a long time."

"The Corpse Carrier? The Corpse Stitcher?" Xu Bai said with interest, "It seems you have a grudge against the Ye Family."

If Zheng Jin is indeed a branch of the Corpse Carrier, then why would he expose the Ye Family? In Xu Bai's view, it is very likely that he was framing them.

Of course, this is just a guess.

"I'm telling the truth," Zheng Jin said with a smile. "Besides, Lord Xu wouldn't torture me. After all, I can't feel pain anymore, so torture wouldn't work on me at all."

"Okay, it's not the Ye Family," Xu Bai said.

Zheng Jin: "..."

He seemed to have said nothing. How did the other party know it wasn't from the Ye Family? Xu Bai looked at Yun Zihai and said, "The person behind this knows I have something to be used to extract a confession, so they specifically sent someone who can't feel pain. It's quite obvious."

Zheng Jin was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and laughed, "So what? Even if it's not the Ye Family, you won't get anything out of me. How about I just tell you about a few other families?"

His words were filled with the phrase "give up."

Xu Bai said, "Kill him."

Zheng Jin: "?"

The Ghost-Head Saber slashed past, and Chu Yu sheathed it.

Zheng Jin's head was split in two, and then he lost his life.

Xu Bai took the Ghost-Head Saber from Chu Yu's hand, sheathed it, and then led Chu Yu out of the cell.

Yun Zihai had been frowning the whole time. He was a smart man and naturally knew that Zheng Jin was indeed trying to shift the target.

He didn't have any opinion on Xu Bai killing Zheng Jin; he thought it was fine.

"A person without the ability to feel pain is beyond the reach of any form of torture or forced confession. It's better to kill them than keep them alive. What's the point of keeping them around for the New Year?" Yun Zihai said thoughtfully. "Brother Xu, it seems our lead has gone cold again."

Xu Bai shook his head. "It's not broken."

"Oh?" Yun Zihai was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "Brother Xu means that we still need to go to the Ye Family."

Xu Bai said without any hesitation, "That's right. Since Zheng Jin is Corpse Stitcher and has connections with the Ye Family, we might as well start by investigating Zheng Jin's background. The Ye Family must know a lot about this."

Yun Zihai thought about it and realized that was the case, so he quickly prepared to go out.

Xu Bai and Chu Yu followed behind. After they left the cell, they saw Yun Zihai enter the room and quickly take out several black clothes.

Judging from this, they intend to disguise themselves and sneak into the Ye Residence at night.

"No need for all that trouble." Xu Bai stopped Yun Zihai, saying, "Let's go openly. This time, let's use a calculated strategy."
