Inside the morgue, Qiu Sheng, disguised as a zombie, pounced on Wen Cai. Just as he was about to knock over the ever-burning lamp, Li Qing arrived in time and used his telekinetic powers to control the two of them.

"Senior Brother Qiusheng, Senior Brother Wencai, what are you doing?"

"Qiu Sheng?" Wen Cai heard Li Qing call the zombie Qiu Sheng his senior brother. He opened his eyes and saw that what was in front of him was not a zombie at all. Its sharp teeth had fallen out, revealing a pair of big white teeth, and its face was covered in dark blue makeup.

"Alright, Qiusheng!" Wencai raised his fist and punched Qiusheng.

Li Qing pulled Wen Cai back.

"Alright, you two senior brothers, stop fooling around. If Master sees this when he gets back, he'll beat you up. Besides, isn't Senior Brother Qiusheng going back at this hour? Your aunt will be looking for you again soon."

“Junior Brother is right, I’ll go back now.” Qiu Sheng broke free from Wen Cai, took off his Qing Dynasty official robes, and ran out.

Watching Qiu Sheng's departing figure, Li Qing sighed inwardly, thinking that the two of them were nothing but trouble.

Qiu Sheng is unruly and unruly, while Wen Cai is timid and cowardly.

He's always causing trouble for Uncle Nine; no wonder Uncle Nine has a full head of white hair.

......

"When the dead travel, the living must avoid them."

Master Simu shook the Three Pure Ones Bell in his hand, urging his customers to Uncle Jiu's Mortuary.

Ring ring ring...

"It must be Uncle Four Eyes. Senior Brother Wencai, let's go and greet him quickly."

Li Qing left the morgue to see his Uncle Four Eyes.

Wencai followed behind and came out.

......

Master Four Eyes appeared to be around thirty years old, wearing glasses, with a red mark on the tip of his nose, and a serious expression. He was shaking a Three Pure Ones Bell, and his customers followed behind him.

Master Four Eyes and Uncle Nine stood together, seemingly talking about something.

When Uncle Nine saw Li Qing come out, he pulled Master Four Eyes aside and proudly introduced his newly accepted disciple.

"Four Eyes, this is my new disciple, Li Qing. A Qing has a very good talent. He has reached the early stage of Qi Refining after only a few days of cultivation, which has saved me a lot of trouble."

"Aqing, this is your Uncle Four Eyes."

"Hello, uncle!"

"Greetings, Uncle Four Eyes!"

Li Qing and Wen Cai greeted each other together.

"He's already at the early stage of Qi Refining after just a few days of cultivation! What a prodigy! With this talent, his strength might even surpass that of Senior Brother in the future! Senior Brother, you've taken on a fine disciple!" Master Four Eyes was extremely shocked that Li Qing had reached the early stage of Qi Refining in just a few days.

No one in the entire Maoshan Sect can compare to Li Qing's talent. His own disciple Jiale is worlds apart from him!

Hearing Master Simu's evaluation of Li Qing, Uncle Jiu felt very proud.

"Ah Qing, keep up the good work. Don't slack off in your cultivation. The future of Maoshan depends on you," Master Simu said to Li Qing.

"Understood, Master, Uncle-Master, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation and live up to your expectations."

Uncle Nine was very satisfied with Li Qing's answer and nodded slightly.

Master Four Eyes then said, "Ah Qing, your uncle came in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything good. I'll make it up to you next time we meet."

"It's alright, Uncle-Master."

Wencai, listening to the conversation, felt a pang of bitterness. He had cultivated for many years and was still only at the early stage of Qi Refining, while his new junior brother had reached the same level in just a few days. The difference in talent was like heaven and earth. Wencai was overwhelmed with shame, feeling he had failed his Uncle Jiu's years of nurturing.

When Master Si Mu and Uncle Jiu saw that Wen Cai had lowered his head, they knew they had hurt him, so they didn't talk to him anymore.

Master Simu ate a meal at the mortuary, replenished his supplies with yellow talismans and glutinous rice, and then urged his customers to continue their journey.

Ring ring ring...

"When the dead travel, the living must avoid them."

They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.

......

The next day.

Li Qing, Uncle Jiu, and Wen Cai were eating breakfast.

Uncle Nine said to Li Qing, "Master Ren from town invited me to drink Western tea today. Qing, you've returned from studying abroad, so come with me at noon. As for Wencai, you'll keep an eye on the mortuary."

"Yes, Master," Li Qingwen and Cai replied simultaneously.

Wencai answered so quickly because he didn't know how to drink Western tea and was afraid of making a mistake and embarrassing himself.

Around noon, Uncle Jiu and Li Qing went out.

Li Qing didn't go out in a suit; instead, he changed into a black long gown. An apprentice couldn't possibly steal the spotlight from his master by dressing more formally than him. Uncle Jiu, on the other hand, wore a yellowish-brown short jacket.

"Hello, Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Jiu is still as energetic and handsome as ever!"

Walking down the street, many people greeted Uncle Jiu, which shows that Uncle Jiu has a high reputation in Renjia Town.

Uncle Nine nodded in response to each of them.

Renjia Town is quite prosperous, and young people in suits pass by Li Qing from time to time.

On the way, Li Qing said to Uncle Jiu, "Master, Western tea is also called coffee. It doesn't taste very good. It tastes like drinking Chinese medicine. It's bitter. Adding milk and sugar will make it taste a little better."

Uncle Nine nodded as he listened to Li Qing's words, feeling fortunate that he had brought Ah Qing along, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.

......

Li Qing followed Uncle Jiu into the restaurant, which was quite luxuriously decorated, with a blend of Chinese and Western aesthetics. He followed a waiter in a black suit to Master Ren's table.

Mr. Ren was wearing a gold mandarin jacket, exuding an air of nouveau riche, with a pipe dangling from his mouth.

Upon meeting Master Ren.

Uncle Nine introduced Li Qing to Master Ren: "Master Ren, this is my new disciple, Li Qing. He has returned from studying abroad and has quite a talent for cultivation. Qing, greet Master Ren."

"Hello, Mr. Ren."

I heard that Li Qing returned from studying abroad.

Ren Fa glanced at Li Qing and nodded slightly.

Uncle Nine and Li Qing then took their seats.

Ren Fa said, "Tingting will be here soon."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from behind her.

Da da da!

Li Qing looked up.

A young and beautiful woman walked over.

She has a pretty face, bright and lively eyes, and her skin looks radiant and glowing. She has fair and delicate skin, wispy bangs, a scorpion braid, and a small pink round hat on her head.

She wore a pink Western-style dress with a V-neck and a pearl necklace, revealing a large expanse of white skin on her chest, making no attempt to conceal her wealth and generosity.

When Uncle Nine saw Ren Tingting walking over, he actually said, "You've grown up so much."

Well, no matter how you look at it, it is indeed large.

At this moment, Ren asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Uncle Nine replied, "A cup of coffee."

Li Qing called out, "Just a glass of milk will do; I don't like coffee."

Thanks to Li Qing's presence, some awkward situations were avoided.

After finishing our coffee and egg tarts, it's time to get down to business.

Ren Tingting said she was going to buy rouge and face powder. When Ren Fa saw this, he said, "Tingting, let Aqing and Pei go with you. You two are young and should get along well. Aqing is a high-achieving student who returned from studying abroad."

Hearing her father's evaluation at home, Ren Tingting looked at Li Qing with curiosity.

"Is that so? Okay then!"

"Aqing, take good care of Tingting and don't let her be bullied. I have something to discuss with Master Ren."

"Okay, Master."

Li Qing followed Ren Tingting out of the restaurant.
