The person who arrived was Yang Na. How did he get here?
"Do you have some time? Let's meet somewhere to talk."
The two casually found a secluded spot on campus. Yang Na sat down on the grass and smiled, "So, how about it? That girl Lin Lingsu is quite something, right? With that look and that figure... Honestly, I, Yang, would love to give it a try, but unfortunately..."
Wei Ning frowned and said, "What do you want to talk to me about? If it's about these things, I don't think we have much in common."
"Don't be like that," Yang Na laughed. "I came all this way to find you, of course it's not just about a woman, especially not that Wretch Lin Lingsu. However, as your brother, I need to remind you: you can like any woman you want, but I advise you to forget about her."
Before Wei Ning could respond, Yang Na shook his head and sighed, "If I had to find a word to describe Lin Lingsu, it would only be 'Vixen.' You have no idea how notorious she is in the underworld. She's young but extremely ruthless; countless people have fallen for her tricks. You saw it yourself; I almost fell into her trap too. So, I'm warning you..." Suddenly, Yang Na made a strange expression and said, "Hey... my friend, you can't be serious. You really like her? You seem pretty anxious about her and even helping her... Is it enjoyable? Honestly, I think about it too; we're all men here. You know what I mean." Yang Na's expression turned lewd as he winked at Wei Ning.
"Aren't you the one who wanted your snake to bite her?" Wei Ning retorted.
Yang Na sighed, "It's a pity I ran into you, the living bodhisattva. With your drug use and seeking doctors, otherwise that Wretch would either be dead or severely injured. What a shame." Yang Na shook his head vigorously, looking dissatisfied.
"Why do you all think like this? Do you really have to kill or harm others to show your power?"
"Big brother, please understand; that Wretch was the one who ambushed me first. What I'm doing is called... self-defense in legal terms—justifiable self-defense."
Wei Ning shook his head and said, "Regardless, this cycle of revenge isn't right."
"Alright," Yang Na waved his hand dismissively. "I'm not going to argue with you about this. Besides, my grievances with Laoshan and Dragon-Tiger Lineage have nothing to do with your Wei Family. However, I'm here just to confirm one thing: who among you or your two friends took the Soul-Eating Doll?"
Wei Ning frowned and asked, "What is the Soul-Eating Doll?"
Yang Na glanced at Wei Ning and replied seriously, "You really don't know?"
I don't know, Wei Ning shook his head.
Yang Na nodded, "I believe you. However, I've been following Lin Lingsu for a long time. If she had a Soul-Eating Doll, I would definitely know... This is really strange..."
Wei Ning blurted out, "So you've been stalking us all along..."
Yang Na chuckled, "I had no choice... I was just, um... curious, curious... But," Yang Na lowered her voice, "when Lin Lingsu was unconscious, didn't you ever think about taking advantage of her?"
"You!" Wei Ning's face turned red with embarrassment, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Haha, I'm off. If fate allows it, we'll meet again. Take my advice: that girl Lin Lingsu is not someone you can handle. Forget about her." Yang Na patted her backside as she stood up, gave Wei Ning a pat on the shoulder, and walked away.
After sending Yang Na off, Wei Ning's thoughts were stirred up. He recalled Lin Lingsu's charming yet playful face and sighed inwardly before turning back to his dorm.
Returning from Yang Na's to the dormitory meant passing by the Mortuary—a place shrouded in mystery that all students and faculty avoided. Only students from the Funeral Department could enter at certain times.
But Wei Ning had enrolled in the Funeral Department specifically for this Mortuary.
He walked to the window and peered inside intentionally or unintentionally. The atmosphere within was lifeless; numerous mortuary tables were neatly arranged inside. Each table represented a once vibrant life now reduced to a corpse covered with a white cloth—silent and motionless.
At Provincial University, the bodies typically brought in for the Funeral Department students to practice on are usually no more than three. Graduates from the Funeral Department are in high demand at hospitals and crematoriums across the country, so there is no pressure regarding employment. Due to the high demand, salaries are generally quite good. Thus, despite the grim nature of the field, the Funeral Department never struggles to attract students.
Of course, Wei Ning did not enroll in the Funeral Department with the intention of pursuing a career afterward; he had only one purpose for being there—cultivation.
Just think about it: aside from the Funeral Department, where else could Wei Ning find so many corpses to practice his Corpse Manipulation Technique? Here, with so many God of Joys available, it was a veritable treasure trove for him.
Although Wang Tuozi taught Wei Ning the theory, practical skills had to be honed through repeated personal experimentation. Wei Ning had only one experience as a Corpse Driver, but that single instance had already proven immensely beneficial. Now, before him lay a vast treasure trove; how could he possibly leave empty-handed?
Of course, all of this hinged on one crucial condition—he must not be discovered.
If someone were to find out that there was a person in the Mortuary manipulating corpses every night, it would be as terrifying as it sounds.
Naturally, if that were to happen, Wei Ning would have no choice but to leave this place.
