Corpse Recovery Diver

This can be considered equal treatment; no ancestor is particularly "mistreated," nor does any ancestor receive preferential treatment from the girl.

After the two carried the tablets out, Liu Yumei watched the sparse row of tablets with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Aunt Liu pulled out a cloth and spat out the blood in her mouth, incredulous as she asked, "Madam, why is this happening?"

Liu Yumei: "I don't know the reason either. The karmic taboos on this child have suddenly become heavier, so heavy that I feel apprehensive."

Aunt Liu: "Ali wasn't like this before."

Outside, Uncle Qin, who had just finished burning the paper effigies, was on his way to the east room to report, as was his usual habit.

Just as he reached the door and heard those words, he decided to back off and see if there was any work to do in the fields.

But here, he couldn't simply jump and leave; moving at an ordinary person's pace certainly wouldn't be as fast as sound.

Liu Yumei: "Ali's journey through Jianghu doesn't have much reference value."

Unexpectedly undisturbed, Uncle Qin felt he had gotten used to it and picked up the hoe.

Aunt Liu: "Then..."

Liu Yumei: "I have seen those who have successfully traversed Jianghu, but during their journey, none experienced something like Xiaoyuan so early on.

Our Xiaoyuan is indeed quite special, as if he has... received more from Jiang Shui."

Liu Yumei wanted to say "care," but no matter what, that word wouldn't come out.

Where did any care come from?

However, to speak ill of Jiang Shui now didn't seem appropriate either.

Liu Yumei looked at Aunt Liu and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No problem."

"Hmm." Liu Yumei once more focused her gaze on the ancestral tablets, smiling, "By the way, when ordering the tablets in the future, use more rare materials."

"Madam, what do you mean?"

When it comes to ancestral tablets, Aunt Liu wouldn't dare to improvise.

"I mean, each set of tablets can have different materials, not just limited to top-grade Thunderstrike Wood."

"Got it."

"Additionally, the styles can be a bit more varied."

"Styles?"

"Some large, some small, some thick, some thin; a tablet shouldn't have only one specification."

"Different specifications in one set?"

"Why not? For those of higher seniority, make them bigger; for lower ones, make them slender to distinguish their ranks.

This will also make it easier for Ali to source materials."

"Understood."

Liu Yumei patted her forehead, reproaching herself, "Oh, how did I only think of this now?"

"Do you mean..."

"We should naturally worship the tablets; Ali, being family, should replace them when needed, which is also natural; and the relationship between Ali and him is quite unique.

Ha, now looking at it, these spirits losing their efficacy isn't entirely a bad thing; it at least breaks the karma here."

Aunt Liu realized, "Madam, I understand."

Xiaoyuan unexpectedly traversed Jianghu so suddenly that there wasn't enough time to equip him with the good things from the ancestral mansion.

Now, the ancestral tablets... have become the only channel through which the Qin and Liu families can provide benefits to Xiaoyuan.

Therefore, Madam asked her to diversify the materials and sizes, so that the range of benefit delivery could be broadened.

Liu Yumei: "Also, you could inlay the tablets with... never mind, less is more. Be mindful of excess; tablets must still look like tablets. They can be luxurious, but not too outrageous."

"Rest assured, I understand."

"Go prepare then."

"Yes."

After Aunt Liu left, Liu Yumei sat back in her chair. She had intended to ask Aunt Liu to try inlaying the tablets.

Perhaps with some beads, runes, for the ancestors who liked using knives, swords, reading, or viewing paintings, she intended to match these with them.

But just as she was about to articulate this idea, the previous warning sign reappeared.

You can somewhat exploit the loopholes in the Heavenly Dao, but never take it for a fool.

Once you cross the line, it's no different from directly bearing the karmic backlash that needs to be delivered.

Liu Yumei picked up her paintbrush to continue designing clothes for the young man.

She often regretted one thing - why hadn't she sent something to the young man earlier.

The kids of the Qin and Liu families always had good things on them from a young age; the Dragon King family had this foundation.

But Xiaoyuan did not.

Her intention was to take Xiaoyuan to the Qin Liu Ancestral Mansion after the initiation ceremony, as he was the sole heir of this generation. Whatever the boy liked in the mansion, as long as he could handle it, he could choose freely.

But unexpectedly, initiation led directly to traversing Jianghu, leaving her without the chance.

Even though he carried the legacy of the two Dragon King sects on him, during his journey, he ended up like a wandering vagrant, with a rich family but a poor road.

However, she glanced down at the Jade Ring on her finger.

This item, she had wanted to give to the child as a meeting gift when they first met, but the child firmly refused to accept it.

Maybe destiny has its plans; before the initiation, even if she wanted to give it, the child wouldn't have wanted it.

While sketching, Liu Yumei glanced back at the altar, mocking herself:

"You all didn't expect this, right? I've lived a life of luxury, yet in my old age, I'm forced to bring up a child in poverty."

...

Sixteen tablets were brought into the small workshop.

Run Sheng had long been sitting inside waiting.

Alii skillfully picked up an ink pen to outline the tablets.

Then he took out tools to start sourcing materials and carving.

Li Zhiyuan was assisting on the side.

Run Sheng wanted to help but couldn't get involved in such meticulous work, so he could only help tidy the table and meanwhile polish some tools.
