Seeing that Tang Ruoxi had returned to normal, Yu Huo felt happy for her from the bottom of his heart, noting that he had sacrificed his life to save the souls of their sisters.

The sisters had achieved the unity of spirit and body, and there was no rejection of each other, which made Yu Huo feel somewhat relieved.

As a direct disciple of the corpse-stitching lineage, being able to complete such a cultivation as soul-transferring means that Yu Huo has officially inherited the ancestral mantle of the corpse-stitching lineage.

However, Yu Huo didn't think too much. After all, no one knew whether there would be unpredictable sequelae after the soul transfer.

Master Jingshuilou disappeared after his spiritual journey, and it remains a mystery to this day.

Yu Huo hopes to solve this mystery by himself. All he needs to do is wait patiently for the opportunity.

After Yu Huo was discharged from the hospital, Tang Ruoxi naturally did not dare to neglect and carefully chose a hotel with good reputation for dinner.

The reason why Tang Ruoxi was so attentive was that, firstly, it was a thank you banquet for Yu Huo, and secondly, it was also for her to cleanse herself from the bad luck.

There are two reasons, but more importantly, Tang Ruoxi has completely possessed her sister's past memories at this time, allowing her to recall the whole process of why she committed suicide in the first place.

And there is an important link in this, that is, his fiancé Fang Yu, actually unscrupulously defiled his sister Tang Ruoya.

Fang Yu's animalistic behavior was the direct trigger that led to Tang Ruoya's suicide. Not only was Tang Ruoya unable to face herself, she was also unable to face her sister Tang Ruoxi, who had a deep relationship with him.

Tang Ruoxi suppressed the anger in her heart. At this moment, she had the urge to kill Fang Yu, even if this beast was her fiancé and might even become her husband in the future.

But Tang Ruoxi calmed down. She needed to control her inner impulse. Her sister had committed suicide and she must not let anything happen to her.

Tang Ruoxi knew in her heart that her grandfather Tang Daoyi was already very old, and everyone in the Tang family needed her. She needed to stabilize the Tang family in order to prevent Fang Yu's conspiracy from succeeding.

Now she needs to wait patiently for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to bring down Fang Yu and even the entire Fang family in one fell swoop, so that she can avenge her sister and find the dignity she deserves for the Tang family.

Tang Ruoxi's calmness was beyond Yu Huo's expectation. She originally thought that after Tang Ruoxi knew the truth, she would be like that brainless young lady, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. However, she didn't want to be like this. Her heart was as calm as if she had been reborn. Like a person.

While eating, Tang Ruoxi kept looking at Yu Huo. This was the first time she looked at a man so seriously, and she stared at him intently.

For a moment, Yu Huo's heart trembled, and he lowered his head shyly.

"Why are you staring at me like that? I've never seen a handsome guy before."

Yu Huo deliberately avoided Tang Ruoxi's eyes, lowered his head and cut a piece of steak by himself, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it hard.

Tang Ruoxi couldn't help but burst into laughter. This was a smile she hadn't seen in a long time. Ever since her sister committed suicide, she had never smiled so brightly and happily.

"I didn't expect you, a grown man, to be so shy."

When Tang Ruoxi thought that Yu Huo was still a virgin, her confusion was immediately relieved. After all, it was not unusual for a man who had never seen a woman's body to be shy in front of a beautiful woman.

"Waiter, another steak."

Yu Huo quickly changed the topic. After all, no one would be able to bear Tang Ruoxi's sparkling eyes. What's more, Tang Ruoxi is a famous beauty in Jianghai. Not to mention the first, at least the top three.

Even without make-up, she can defeat many female models and stars in Jianghai, which shows that Tang Ruoxi is a beautiful woman, and her beauty is just like her name.

Seeing that Yu Huo was a little shy, Tang Ruoxi stopped teasing her and said seriously: "Yu Huo, is it okay if I call you that?"

"Whatever, didn't you call me that when we were on the mountain before?"

Yu Huo stuffed another big mouthful of steak into his mouth and unconsciously glanced at Tang Ruoxi secretly. She was indeed a woman with ice-cold muscles and beautiful bones. She was like a fairy sister descended from the earth.

"Can you stay and help me?"

Tang Ruoxi's pleading eyes let Yu Huo see her worries, because next she needs to help her grandfather stabilize the situation of the Tang family as soon as possible, and if she wants to stabilize the Tang family, she must first calm down the outside world, and the first thing she has to face is Clan member of the Tang family.

All the old clan members in the Tang family ancestral hall are eyeing this fat piece of Tang family, waiting for Tang Daoyi to carve it up and eat it up in a hundred years, hoping that the Tang family will become more chaotic.

As the direct granddaughter of Tang Daoyi, Tang Ruoxi is naturally the legitimate successor of the Tang family. However, Tang Ruoxi does not have the ability to sit at the top of the Tang family at the moment. Besides, she is a young girl, so how can she be the senior member of the Tang family? opponent?

So she needed a helper, someone who could take advantage of her, and Yu Huo was the ideal candidate in her mind.

Seeing Tang Ruoxi's expectations, Yu Huo didn't give her any face, and rejected her bluntly: "I am used to being a promiscuous person. Besides, those in our industry are all about making money from dead people. Where are the dead people? That’s where we’ll end up.”

Yu Huo's answer made Tang Ruoxi a little disappointed, but she also understood Yu Huo. After all, she had seen Yu Huo's ability with her own eyes. As an inheritor of the corpse sewing line, she needed to carry forward this almost lost skill and pass it on.

Thinking of this, Tang Ruoxi did not forcefully leave the residual fire. The melon that is forced is not sweet. Tang Ruoxi naturally knows this truth.

"Then it's up to you. This is the reward that Grandpa specially asked me to give you. It's all in cash. I hope you accept it. I think it's a small token of our Tang family's appreciation for you."

When Tang Ruoxi finished saying this, he handed over a box. His expression of reluctance made people feel somewhat sympathetic, but Yu Huo immediately corrected his position. As a successor of the corpse-stitching lineage, he must not treat the dead. The family members are sentimental so as not to break the ancestor's rules.

"Thank you. Thank you to Mr. Thief for me. By the way, don't force yourself too much. Everything will be reincarnated. Let everything take its course."

Yu Huo spoke with a hint of metaphysics, and there were string sounds in and out of his words. After getting along with Yu Huo for a while, Tang Ruoxi naturally understood the meaning of Yu Huo's words, which was to ask her to act within her ability, not to act recklessly, but Need to wait for a favorable opportunity.

Before leaving, Yu Huo said meaningfully: "Pay attention to the people around you. The closer you are to the people around you, the more careful you need to be."

After saying that, Yu Huo waved his hand nonchalantly and entered the hotel elevator without looking back. Tang Ruoxi looked at Yu Huo's leaving figure and felt empty in her heart.

Looking back on the time I spent with Yu Huo, I can clearly see every detail. There were suspicions, suspicions, laughter and true feelings, but most of all, there was reluctance.

Maybe Yu Huo was just a passing guest in life, so Tang Ruoxi had no choice but to pack her mind, get off the elevator, and go to the basement to pick up the car.

As soon as Yu Huo got out of the elevator, someone suddenly covered his head with a black cloth bag and dragged him into a Wuling Hongguang van.

The van passed by Tang Ruoxi's car, but Tang Ruoxi didn't notice that Yu Huo was inside the car.

The car that brought Yu Huo aboard kept circling in the streets and alleys of Jianghai City. It was obviously deliberately avoiding something. Such mystery made Yu Huo a little more interested.

About half an hour later, Yu Huo was taken to an abandoned shipyard. This shipyard was originally a leading enterprise in Jianghai. Later, the boss suddenly closed down for unknown reasons, and the boss also disappeared without a trace.

It has been abandoned to this day, but it has become a good place for many good people to meet.

The car just stopped and the moment the car door was opened, I heard two people kneeling on one knee, and one of them said respectfully: "Sir, something unexpected happened and you have been wronged. I still haven't taken off the hood for you."

The people in the car quickly helped Yu Huo take off the black hood. The strong light shone on Yu Huo's eyes, which made him a little unhappy. However, when he saw the two neatly dressed flat-headed men in front of him, they looked like slaves of a wealthy family. dress up.

Although Yu Huo didn't know who these people were, who they were working for, and why they wanted to arrest him.

"Sir, our master is waiting for you inside, please move and get out of the car."

Yu Huo was as calm as water. On the one hand, it was because Yu Huo had never seen anything before. If he wasn't afraid of so many dead people and ghosts, how could he be afraid of a few living people?

From the tone of the flat-headed brother just now, it could be heard that the other party was not kidnapping or asking for his life, but rather seemed to be asking for something from him, which made Yu Huo feel more confident.

Now that he had shaken his shoulders, Yun Danfeng got out of the car lightly and followed Brother Pingtou into the old workshop of the old shipyard.

The buildings in the old shipyard were built in the 1980s and 1990s. After decades of wind and rain, they have become dilapidated. Only this old workshop, which was specially reinforced and built because of the need to build giant ships, still has a few buildings left. points of use.

Brother Pingtou took Yu Huo to an old office in the innermost part of the workshop, which was originally the office of the director of the production workshop.

The desk was old and covered with dust, and the black leather sofa had aged and cracked fine lines. An old man wearing a peaked cap was seen sitting on the sofa, holding a cigarette between his right fingers, and he had just exhaled a cloud of smoke from his mouth, filling the air. In the office, it's dark and depressing.

At the same time, the two flat-headed brothers who had just led the way, after nodding with the old man, did not speak, but respectfully exited the office and closed the office door.

"sit down."

The deep voice of the old man wearing a peaked cap seemed to come from the nasal cavity, which made people startled and sent a chill all over their body.

Yu Huo did not listen to the old man's wishes, but stood opposite the old man and said calmly: "What do you want from me?"

Seeing Yu Huo being so calm, the old man showed a brief smile on his face, stood up from the sofa, and tore off his clothes, revealing several bloody and black teeth marks on his right shoulder and neck. , suddenly appeared in front of Yu Huo.

Although the light in the office was poor and he could not even see clearly, Yu Huo had already guessed that this was not a mosquito bite or a snake bite, but a human tooth mark.

Seeing this scene, Yu Huo subconsciously took out a handful of glutinous rice from the bag on his waist, and when he was about to apply it to the wound on the old man's neck, the old man stopped Yu Huo and said seriously: "It's useless, you and I Master, please don't waste your rations. I don't have much time. Something happened unexpectedly. I invite you here in this way. Don't blame me for being rude."

The old man's body suddenly twisted. He was bitten by something unclean, and the thing that bit him was definitely not an ordinary person. This was the first time Yu Huo had seen such a situation with his own eyes.

"This is the ancestral guiding light of the Corpse Sewing lineage. It is urgent. Only you are qualified to take charge of the Underworld Lantern. For the sake of the Corpse Sewing lineage, you must protect it well."

The old man took out a straight lamp that emitted purple and blue light, and handed it to Yu Huo's hand with trembling hands. When his consciousness was barely clear, he said with trembling lips and gritted teeth: "After I lose my mind, a torch I burned it, remember, you must not be merciful and cause harm to the world."
