Cui Tiq sighed inwardly. All four of these people were stronger than the Greenwater Beggar, yet they still disregarded their status to gang up on him.
What was to be done?
Cui Tiq was worried for the Ancestral Master!
It seemed unlikely that a whole corpse could be preserved. If push came to shove, he'd just have to pick up whatever pieces he could from the ground, taking what he could get.
As the Greenwater Beggar was pushed into a corner, a series of cries echoed from outside the mansion.
SQUEAK!
The Knife Labor Ghost had arrived.
Perhaps because he had spent so much time with Knife Labor Ghosts, Cui Tiq didn't think they were that scary. Even a Knife Labor Ghost that had drunk his potion and become extremely agitated wasn't so terrifying; these influential figures surely had ways to deal with them.
But what happened next completely surpassed Cui Tiq's expectations.
