Chapter 207 - 206: Have Eyes but Fail to Recognize Mount Tai
Tie Banxian observed the old man indulging in a feast in front of him, dressed in a funeral shroud. The sight of the greasy chicken leg, while he gnawed only on a pancake, made his stomach growl with hunger, and he felt even more convinced that it was a stroke of terrible luck that brought him into contact with Qin Liuxi today.
He wasn’t foolish; just by watching the procession, he could tell that the old man’s time had come, and Qin Liuxi was there to send him on his final journey.
And his own role?
Tie Banxian glanced at Qin Liuxi, who remained calm, occasionally pouring wine for the old man. He wasn’t sure if he had arrived in time.
Old Man Guan let out a contented belch, finishing the wine in his cup, his face ruddy and exhaling a long breath.
He looked at Qin Liuxi and then at Yu Changkong, saying, "I never imagined that, after spending my life making coffins and being the only one left in my family, I would be sent off on my last journey by esteemed figures like yourselves. I, Old Guantou, truly feel my life has been worthwhile."
He stood up and respectfully bowed to Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi also stood and returned the gesture.
Standing to the side, Tie Banxian felt a twinge of discomfort witnessing this exchange and swallowed hard.
"Don’t worry, Little Hu’er is here."
She glanced at the little ghost standing next to him, wiping tears, and lowered her eyes slightly.
