Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 97: You Are My Big Sister!

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: You Are My Big Sister!

Three people looked up at the roof beam and saw a woman with her legs crossed, scooping rice from a bowl.

It was indeed Third Miss Gan.

"What have you seen from up there?" Ling asked, full of wariness.

After finishing the last bite, Third Miss Gan placed the bowl down and said to Zhang San and the others, "I saw everything."

"I sneaked in and started eating before dinner was served, from Xu being suppressed by the wronged souls to losing control; from the moment Zhang San entered until you all came in, I saw everything."

At that moment, the three of them, including Zhang San, were somewhat panicked.

Zhang San even lost control of his expression.

After all, it was better the fewer people knew that Xu was a living dead.

Meanwhile, Ling had already floated two pieces of paper money from her sleeves, holding them in her hand as if ready to strike at any moment.

Perched on the roof beam, Third Miss Gan sneered disdainfully.

"Little girl, don’t bother showing off your shallow tricks of the Path of Life and Death in front of me."

"You couldn’t really think that all beings from the Spiritual Platform Realm are the same, could you?"

"Especially your kind of living dead, I’ve seen far too many."

Ling couldn’t help but be shocked, she had never expected that her own state as a living dead was so transparent to the other.

At that moment, Zhang San completely lost control of his expression, his eyes wide as he stared at Ling beside him.

Ling was a living dead!

In Zhang San’s understanding, living dead were basically people who had died and then come back to life, almost similar to zombies.

That Xu seemed more human-like was already the limit of Zhang San’s imagination.

And now you’re telling me Sister Ling, who drives even better and is more generous than me every day, is a living dead!?

Third Miss Gan noticed that among the three, only Wei remained composed, clearly he had already known or guessed Ling’s identity.

After all, Ling often used floral scents on herself, even aligning certain scents with specific locations; many privately thought Ling loved flowers, little did they know she used the surrounding floral scents as a secret technique to diffuse around her body, masking any possible scent of death.

Third Miss Gan pointed at Xu and continued, "Xu’s situation is either not fully dead or has just died, where a wronged soul enters the body, causing his own soul to be suppressed by the incoming soul, thus becoming a living dead."

"On the battlefields of Longyou Road, there were too many such cases."

"The fortunate ones had the revenants of their comrades in arms enter their bodies, which might become a helping force or even transform into Soldier Spirits to aid in battle. However..."

"If the revenants of the enemies enter the body, then that spells big trouble. You can only think of a way to refine them."

At this, Zhang San understood.

Immediately, he cheerfully said to Third Miss Gan on the roof beam, "Then sister, you must surely know a method of refining, right?"

As soon as Zhang San smiled, Third Miss Gan knew what this youngster was thinking.

"I don’t know that method, as I am not a living dead. However, I know a blacksmith from Longyou Road, who’s now a carpenter in Chuan-Yu Road, who does know this technique."

"Back during the war on Longyou Road, many living dead sought his help. His surname is Ma, and he now lives near Ma Family Village in the northwest of Chuan-Yu Road."

"I’ll write you a letter, and if you take my letter to him, he should help you out of consideration for me."

As she spoke, Third Miss Gan jumped down from the roof beam.

By then, Ling had already put away the paper money in her hands.

Never mind whether she could defeat her, merely the fact that the other party would choose to help Xu meant she was one of their own.

Wei’s face was also filled with gratitude.

Third Miss Gan glared at Zhang San, "Go get some paper and a brush! Or do you prefer I write in blood with yours?"

Zhang San immediately went out to fetch ink and paper.

After finishing the writing, Third Miss Gan sealed the envelope and then glanced at Wei and Ling standing beside her.

"You, you, and the unconscious Xu, all owe me a favor."

Obviously, Third Miss Gan wasn’t helping for free.

But Zhang San noticed that Third Miss Gan hadn’t counted himself, wondering if it was because he had been with Third Miss Gan in the Ghost Domain recently, so he was now considered one of her own, exempt from owing her a favor?

"You owe me two favors."

Zhang San was confused.

"Why do I owe two?"

Third Miss Gan tapped on the silver bracelet on her right wrist, then pulled out a thick copy of the Kaihuang Law and threw it to Zhang San.

"Study the laws of Great Sui in your free time. If you can’t handle it when the time comes, sister here will help you out."

Hearing this, Zhang San knew that if higher-ups came to interrogate, Third Miss Gan should have a way to help him get acquitted.

So, Xu’s issue was one favor, and his own issue was another.

Third Miss Gan continued instructing, "Longyou Road is constantly at war, and there’s no shortage of zombies there, so for many people from Longyou Road, zombies are no different from the living, just like you guys haven’t given up on Xu."

"But this is Chuan-Yu Road, not far from Capital Region Road. Thus, the attitude here towards zombies could be problematic. So, keeping Xu’s condition a secret is the right move."

"So along this journey, you guys also need to be extra careful, understand?"

Zhang San nodded repeatedly, then saw Third Miss Gan handing him the envelope.

"Ah!? Am I going too?"

Zhang San felt that with Wei and Ling around, he wasn’t really needed.

After all, he still wanted to make time to train, in case he needed to run if something went wrong.

Third Miss Gan glared at him, sharply saying, "You’re my little brother, and it’s natural you should deliver my letter!"

Zhang San had no choice but to nod.

"Yes, Big Sister."

Zhang San thought that although Third Miss Gan looked beautiful and even charming, sometimes her demeanor was much like a mafia boss.

Third Miss Gan paused, then asked, "Big Sister?"

"Yeah! Calling you Big Sister, don’t you like the name?"

Third Miss Gan pondered for a moment.

"Big Sister, a bit more authoritative than sister, yet closer than boss. Good, I like this nickname, it will be my exclusive title from now on. You, be a good little brother. You won’t lack benefits in the future."

Zhang San guessed that Third Miss Gan was a Chief’s undercover agent, on her own in Chuan-Yu to investigate Bai Yucheng, and she even had connections from her time at Longyou, her status probably not simple.

Especially since Ling hadn’t made a move, her imposing manner was diffused by a few words from Third Miss Gan.

Following a boss like this didn’t seem too dangerous.

Since Wei hadn’t taught him the Skill of Concealment yet, he might as well attend to Xu’s matter first.

His own situation hadn’t reached interrogation yet.

If he could avoid it, he would; if not, he’d run!

Having made up his mind, Zhang San went back to pack, ready to take Xu to meet the mysterious Master Ma.
