The experts who wanted to defeat Bai Xiaosheng had almost all gathered.
The Master of Wanjian Pavilion rallied all those willing to deal with Bai Xiaosheng and even declared online that this time he would settle things with Bai Xiaosheng once and for all.
In this situation, Bai Yi, as the other protagonist of the story and the one being challenged, will arrive in time.
However, there was one more thing he needed to do before that.
"Stop right there! You three, don't run! If you've got the guts, stop right there!"
It was still that familiar cemetery, and the same four familiar people: Bai Yi, Gongpin Ge, and the tomb raider. Three of them were running ahead, while the tomb keeper was chasing behind.
"Damn you guys, you came once and that was fine, but you actually came a second time?"
"Don't you take me seriously? Stop right there! I'll show you what real power is!"
Why did things turn out this way?
It's very simple. When Bai Yi obtained the original manuscript, didn't he dig out "his own" coffin?
He also glanced inside and, unsurprisingly, the corpse was indeed lifelike, with no signs of decay.
Based on the principle of respecting the dead and ensuring their peace in the afterlife, Bai Yi decided to send his coffin back for burial.
After all, he dug it up in front of the tomb keeper, which affected his work.
Now that it's buried back, that guy should feel better, right?
With this in mind, he returned to that place, ready to start working.
As luck would have it, they ran into the two brothers who had run away together before.
"Hey, everyone, busy at work?"
"Uh, yes, yes."
"I'm here to bury it back for them. What are you two doing here?"
The tomb raider said that last time, he dug half of the grave, but had to retreat because the grave keeper had to leave before he could finish digging the rest.
After returning home, the thought of the tomb that was still half-dug kept me tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
He felt that if he didn't dig up the grave, he would feel uncomfortable all over, as if Bai Xiaosheng (a famous Chinese scholar) was crawling on his body.
As for the tribute guy? His idea was even simpler.
After being discovered by the gravedigger last time, he figured his days in this cemetery wouldn't be easy for him for the foreseeable future.
Stock up on plenty of food so we don't go hungry these next few days.
To this end, he even prepared a large backpack, stuffing it full of snacks and fruits, and leaving immediately after looting.
"Good heavens, you even took some food and then some stuff?"
"So what? It's just rice, it's not shameful."
"It's shabby, I think it's extremely shabby!"
It's hard to imagine what the gravedigger's first reaction was upon seeing the three of them.
It's the three of you again, and it's even the same place again. Let's not even talk about the one who put the coffin back, what are the other two doing?
He was already here and saw what they were doing. One was still taking fruit, even picking and choosing, while the other patted the skull of the tomb owner and took out a jade pendant that was meant to be buried with him.
"You three are truly unforgivable!"
"Run, brothers, run!"
Despite being pursued by the tomb keeper, the three managed to escape successfully, and Bai Yi also confirmed the situation of the tribute man.
"The one who steals the path, isn't he as down on his luck as you, buddy, resorting to stealing offerings to repair the chain?"
What could he say? He had truly broadened his horizons; even Han Feiyu had never seen such a formidable talent before.
After the three of them escaped, before they parted ways, Brother Gongpin even felt that they were quite destined to be together, and asked the two of them if they wanted to become sworn brothers or something.
