Afterlife Department
50,000 years ago, Hell was destroyed because of too much Foul from the resentment of the souls that later turned to Soul Eaters and devoured everything in their wake, leaving nothing of Hell. The gods above in Heaven, in order to take care of the newly-died souls, created the Afterlife Department comprised of grim reapers. Huo Ling was delivering food that day when he met Yi Bing and the guy gave him a warning. When he arrived to the customer's unit, he was killed. Huo Ling: you set up a death flag for me! Yi Bing: I'm a grim reaper. I'm the flag myself. Let me help you solve the mystery of your death. Huo Ling: your sister! Alternative title: The Different Ways I Died at 23 Update: daily
Dissuasion
Bai Wu turned to look at Wu Yi. How can he not know that these two are doing all their best to dissuade him from takin in an apprentice? With his sharp mind, as well as his familiarity with his younger brother and his best friend, he naturally has noticed since earlier that the two are trying to stop him from taking an apprentice.
Of course, Bai Wu knows that taking in an apprentice is only filled with disadvantages. There might be some advantages about it, like having a new competent and familiar ally, but, that was because you trained this ally with your own hands, which is very tiring physically and mentally, and also emotionally since this apprentice that might soon to be your ally is disobedient. So, the losses outweigh the gains. Not to mention that this ally might still be able to betray you in the future, thus, it wasn't worth it to take in an apprentice.
