Liu Zheng answered.

Elder Qing is a type of hand in Fusang Mahjong, referring to having only terminal tiles like one or nine dots, bamboo, or characters, known as "old man tiles."

Every employee at Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse has a codename related to Fusang Mahjong, which essentially functions as their name within the bathhouse.

And when they resign or die, the codename is taken back and given to the next person.

"Elder Qing? Oh, he did mention this to me. But how can you prove that you are Elder Qing’s nephew?"

The voice inside drew out the question.

"My uncle said this could prove it."

Liu Zheng took out some highly unusual mahjong tiles and waved them in front of the doorway.

"Hmm, not bad, you really are Elder Qing’s nephew."

The person inside immediately replied.

Following that, a small door was opened, and a bird claw reached out, grabbing the top of the doorway and lifting it upward, expanding the tiny opening from the size of a rat hole to that of a door tall enough for a person.

"Alright, come on in."

The Bird Claw Man motioned him with a wave of his hand.

"Sure thing."

Bending and hunching, Liu Zheng squeezed through the tight entrance with difficulty.

Inside, there was a long, narrow corridor lined with many rooms separated by sliding doors papered with shoji.

"Don’t go snooping around; you might lose your eyeballs."

A voice interrupted his peering.

"Sorry, I’m new here and didn’t know the rules."

Liu Zheng averted his gaze, lowered his head apologetically, and then offered the money.

"Hmm, your attitude isn’t too bad. Later on, have your uncle teach you the rules properly. Our bathhouse is a big operation with many rules. If you violate any taboos, not only you but also your uncle will suffer the consequences."

The short man with bird claws accepted the money, glanced at the denomination, and pleasingly tucked it into his dhoti.

"Senior, is this the official uniform for our bathhouse?"

Seeing his bare chest and smooth thighs, Liu Zheng couldn’t help asking.

"How could that be? Our bathhouse clientele are all people of status; how could we possibly serve them dressed like this?"

The Bird Claw Man replied without hesitation.

"Then, this is...?"

"Oh, this is just a personal preference. Anyway, no guests come here, so it doesn’t matter."

The Bird Claw Man said carelessly.

"Okay, okay. By the way, I haven’t asked for your codename yet?"

"Oh, I’m called Mixed Elder. Remember it. In the future, if you run into any trouble at the pool, just mention my name."

The Bird Claw Man said.

Mixed Elder denotes a hand consisting only of old man tiles (one or nine dots, bamboo, or characters) and honor tiles.

"Then the problem can be solved?"

"Then you’ll die a little happier."

Mixed Elder chuckled darkly.

"Heh."

Liu Zheng involuntarily twitched the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, judging by this guy’s attire, he shouldn’t have expected much from him.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to your uncle."

Mixed Elder jumped up to the door frame and pulled the small door back to palm-size.

"Are you allowed to leave your post during your shift?"

"If it were someone else, I’d definitely say no. But since you, kid, gave money, then of course it’s fine. Otherwise, how would I make some extra cash in the future?"

Mixed Elder said nonchalantly.

"Uh..."

Liu Zheng felt that the state of affairs at Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse was different from what he had imagined.

Considering Jing Zi’s encounter, he thought Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse would be a place with strict rules, where even the slightest infraction would lead to punishment.

But from the looks of this Mixed Elder, the work discipline here seemed pretty relaxed?

"Follow closely later, don’t wander off, don’t go snooping. If there’s any trouble, don’t expect me to bail you out."

After giving his advice, Mixed Elder went on ahead by himself.

"Got it."

Liu Zheng responded and closely followed behind him.
