"Why did you come back alone, where are the others?"
Xu Qing was astonished: "What do you mean by that? Are the other corpse collectors not back yet?"
He wasn't pretending to be confused. This time, the Corpse Recovery Team had twelve members, with only Lu Ping and five others who perished by his hands. Logically, there should be six searching elsewhere.
His return was not that early; normally, those six corpse collectors should have been back as well.
"Strange, usually before dark, the Corpse Recovery Team is all back. But today, only you returned."
The steward asked suspiciously: "Didn't you encounter them halfway?"
Xu Qing shook his head: "I just joined the team today. I'm not skilled at rowing the boat yet, so I couldn't catch up with them, let alone encounter them."
"Then let's wait a little longer."
The steward didn't take it seriously; he then noticed the corpses placed in Xu Qing's black canopy boat and asked with curiosity: "You retrieved all these?"
