With a bang, Fang Huixin slammed the water glass in her hand onto the ground.
"When you sold it, there were no problems? Do you really think Fang Huixin is easy to fool?
"You say that corpse has a problem, you need evidence? Besides, I've already brought the master who examined the corpse. He also guaranteed there were no problems. Who knows if you were playing tricks? I, Wang Jun, have been in this line of work for many years and have never sold problematic antique objects. Since you say there's a problem, then find someone to prove it."
Fang Huixin sneered and clapped her hands, "I'll see how long you can be stubborn. Old Li, please come out and say something!"
When Old Li appeared, I saw Wang Jun's expression change drastically. Cold sweat instantly covered his face, and his body began to tremble, like a mouse seeing a cat.
This made my heart sink.
Who exactly is this Old Li?
He could actually make a tomb raider, who lives on the edge of a knife and dares to fight with zombies, so scared?
Seeing Old Li come out, Wang Jun quickly changed his tune, bowing and scraping as he said, "Old Li, when did you get back? If I had known you were here, I would have brought some decent gifts!"
Old Li snorted.
"I've only been gone a few days, and you dare to sell goods with stolen items to Boss Fang? Do you still have me in your eyes?"
As soon as Old Li finished speaking, I noticed Wang Jun trembling more violently. His legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Old Li, please listen to me, I was just..."
"Enough. I know the whole story, no need for you to explain. I'll settle with you later."
After reprimanding Wang Jun, Old Li turned his gaze to me.
I also carefully observed Old Li. He looked to be in his sixties, with half white hair, triangular eyes, and a three-strand beard under his chin, giving him a sinister aura.
"You're the one who arranged the ghost marriage."
It was clear that Fang Huixin had also told Old Li about me. If I didn't admit it, wouldn't I be looked down upon?
"It's me."
Old Li looked at me with an unfriendly expression, "After examining the birth charts for the ghost marriage, it can be decided whether it's suitable. Why did you want to break the coffin?"
His words made me frown. Breaking the coffin was indeed impulsive of me, but it was also due to Sui Wan'er's interference. However, his tone was as if he was interrogating me.
It's known that arranging a ghost marriage seems simple, as if it's just a matter of burying two corpses together.
But in reality, it's not like that.
Not only does a ghost marriage require the birth charts of both parties to be compatible, but it also requires asking if "both parties" agree.
If one party disagrees, then the ghost marriage cannot proceed.
If they are forced to marry, the dissenting party will continuously pester the matchmaker, which is very troublesome to deal with.
The male's divination indicates he is suitable for solitary burial, which means he disagrees with this marriage.
Even if he might have liked Fang Huixin's daughter very much when he was alive, after death, he is a different person with different thoughts. How could he still want to marry the female?
Moreover, Fang Huixin's daughter's corpse was occupied by Sui Wan'er and turned into a white-haired zombie, which would definitely not agree.
If I didn't have the coffin and forcibly married "them," then when the white-haired zombie caused trouble in the future, all the karma would fall upon me. I didn't want to become a fool or disabled in the future.
I felt an invisible hand pushing all of this.
Therefore, a thought struck me, and I decided to test Old Li to see if he was behind all of this.
"I see Old Li is also in the feng shui business. Don't you know this ghost marriage cannot be performed?"
"What's not to be performed? A pair of young men and women couldn't think things through for a moment and got stuck in a rut. They couldn't be together in life, so why not share a grave in death? This is a great deed to accumulate merit."
After a pause, he flipped his triangular eyes and continued, "If I hadn't had something urgent to attend to, how could I have let you, a mere youngster, replace me?"
It seemed that this ghost marriage was also guided by Old Li, but how could someone who could arrange ghost marriages not know the intricacies involved?
I asked with a tone of seeking knowledge, "So this is how ghost marriages are arranged?"
"Otherwise, what? If your cultivation is not deep enough, you can't understand the situation and ruin a good marriage. It's truly a sin."
After hearing this, I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
I had lived for eighteen years and studied under my master for ten years, and I had never heard of arranging a ghost marriage between a zombie and a human. This was absolutely mind-boggling.
To ensure I wasn't mistaken, I continued, "A fate that harms the husband and prospers the family?"
As soon as I uttered these words, Old Li, who had been calm, showed a flicker of change in his expression, but then he quickly regained his composure.
Although his expression changed rapidly, I had been paying close attention to him.
It was clear that Old Li had already seen Fang Huixin's daughter's fate, otherwise, his expression wouldn't have changed.
The ghost marriage was likely his idea, and he also knew the outcome of arranging this ghost marriage.
It was just that he hadn't accounted for Sui Wan'er seizing the opportunity to enter Fang Huixin's daughter's corpse.
"Indeed, this matter is related to Old Li. I just don't know what he wants to do?"
First, he arranged the ghost marriage, and then he threatened Wang Jun to tie me up and bring me here?
Old Li did not respond to my questioning.
"The ghost marriage was arranged by you, correct?"
I ignored him. Since I had confirmed that Old Li was behind everything, everything would be easier to handle.
Even a clay Buddha has some temper, let alone Song Qingyun.
As long as I had the chance, I would make sure that the so-called "old man" and Wang Jun and the others would pay.
Seeing my silence, Old Li continued, "That ancient corpse was also examined by you. Now that the ancient corpse is missing, and it has also taken away Boss Fang's daughter's corpse. You cannot escape responsibility for this, so you must find her body for me."
"What if I refuse?"
As soon as my words fell, seventeen or eighteen people rushed in from outside, each holding a knife, and their clothes bulging with something.
If I said anything more, the consequences would be imaginable.
Seeing these people rush out, Wang Jun's face turned pale, as did the tomb raiders who had come with him.
"Old Li, this matter is truly not my fault, I was just..."
"Wang Jun, this time I'll let it go since nothing major happened, but you must find the corpse for me, or you know my methods."
"See the guest out."
As we walked out of the mansion's gate, Wang Jun directly pointed a gun at my head, looking at me fiercely.
"You little brat, you've caused me so much trouble. Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
