Chapter 283 I Have a Friend



"Achen is indeed a top student at Cambridge University. He even knows Feng Shui!"

Hearing Master Ren's praise, the young man in a suit named Achen smiled and said modestly, "It's just a little bit of family knowledge. Compared with the famous Uncle Jiu of Maoshan, my little tricks are nothing. But at least I can help my uncle with some advice so that Uncle Jiu won't ask for too much."

"That's good, that's good!"

Mr. Ren patted the young man in the suit on the shoulder with a smile, and looked very satisfied.

The delicate girl in a pink dress next to him was carrying a bag and staring at the profile of the young man in the suit with affectionate eyes.

While chatting and laughing, the three of them walked into the private room.

The young man in the suit was still dealing with Master Ren, but his eyes immediately turned to Uncle Nine.

After seeing the face with white eyebrows, the young man in the suit couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Finally...finally I can see Uncle Nine!

Ever since he met Ren Tingting who was studying in the UK and learned that this world was Uncle Jiu's world, he has been thinking about returning to China to practice Taoism, but his parents and elders have always expressed opposition.

He knew what his parents and elders were worried about. It was nothing more than that they felt that the civil war was too dangerous. But he also had his own reasons for going. Not to mention the responsibilities that he should shoulder as a person from later generations who came to this special era, just the uncle Jiu and the mythological background hidden behind this Dharma Ending Age were worth the risk for Achen.

Finally, after going through untold hardships, Achen finally managed to seduce Ren Tingting, and only then did he gain the consent of his parents and elders in the name of returning to China to see his father-in-law.

Finally meeting the famous Uncle Jiu of Maoshan, the young man in the suit couldn't help but smile.

But then, the smile on the young man in the suit froze on his face.

Because on Uncle Jiu's left, there was a tall young man sitting. He had a heroic face and a strong body. His muscles made his straight suit bulge out. He looked really imposing and majestic.

At this moment, the young man in the private room was looking at him with a smile.

Although I didn't say anything, it seemed like I said everything...

Master Ren walked over with a big laugh, took the girl's hand affectionately, and introduced her to Uncle Jiu: "Uncle Jiu, let me introduce you, this is my precious daughter Tingting, who just returned from studying in the UK. The young man next to her is Ye Chen, a top student at Cambridge University in England, and also my Tingting's fiancé when she was studying in the UK..."

At this point, Master Ren paused and said with emotion: "The world is going downhill. Young people nowadays all care about free love and ignore the 'parents' orders and matchmaker's words' passed down by our ancestors. Uncle Jiu, tell me, is this reasonable?"

“…”

Uncle Jiu's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to agree, Master Ren continued, "It's good for someone like my daughter Tingting to find a stable support. If she really falls in love with a bastard, wouldn't she be putting her whole life's happiness at stake?"

Such words appear to be an expression of emotion, but are actually a show-off.

Uncle Jiu naturally understood what Master Ren meant, but he was too lazy to expose it and just smiled and agreed.

Master Ren had boasted enough, and then he smiled and said, "Tingting, Achen, why don't you call Uncle Jiu!"

Ren Tingting's cheeks turned slightly red when her father mentioned the word "fiancé", but she still obediently called him Uncle Jiu.

Ye Chen came back to his senses from the shock, and tried hard not to look at Li Yun's expression, and smiled reluctantly: "Uncle Jiu!"

Wencai curled his lips and muttered softly: "It's so reluctant..."

Uncle Jiu had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so he naturally heard Wencai's muttering. He immediately glared at him, signaling him not to talk nonsense, and then smiled at Ren Tingting and the young man in the suit.

Afterwards, the three of them took their seats one after another.

Ren Tingting sat down next to Ye Chen, with an intimate look, her eyes moving and her brows conveying affection, which made Wencai sitting opposite her very jealous.

But Ye Chen did not pay attention to Ren Tingting's affectionate gaze, and did not even talk to Uncle Jiu as he had thought before. Instead, he focused all his attention on Li Yun opposite him.

If he remembered correctly, this conversation should only involve Mr. Ren's parents and Uncle Jiu and his disciples.

Who is this burly young man in a suit who appeared out of nowhere?

Could it be that... he is also a time traveler?

Ye Chen was filled with doubts and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Ren, why don't you introduce these two to me?"

Master Ren slapped his head and said with a smile, "Look at my memory, Achen. You just returned to China and you don't recognize any of the famous people in Renjiazhuang. It's time for me to introduce them. The one sitting opposite you is Uncle Jiu's top disciple, named Wencai. The one next to him is a top disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, named Li Yun. He came here specially to visit Uncle Jiu!"

Uncle Jiu couldn't bear to see Master Ren showing off all the time, so he smiled and said, "Master Ren, you may not know that Junior Brother Li also studied abroad before he learned Taoism, but he went to North America, and Achen went to Europe..."

Since Li Yun claimed to be a disciple of Quanzhen Sect, Uncle Jiu simply called him nephew.

"oh?"

Mr. Ren looked a little surprised, but he nodded secretly in his heart, as if confirming that Li Yun came from an extraordinary family.

Ye Chen looked strange and couldn't help asking, "Brother Li, have you also studied abroad?"

Li Yun smiled and nodded: "That's right."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said in English: "I wonder what Brother Li studied when he was studying abroad?"

Li Yun smiled and replied in English: "History."

Ye Chen pretended to be interested and asked, "Oh? What history?"

Li Yun raised his lips and replied slowly: "Future history..."

Yes, he must be a time traveler!

I never expected that there would be two time travelers in this world at the same time!

Ye Chen was filled with surprise, but Li Yun on the opposite side acted quite calm, as if he had expected it.

Ren Tingting, who had been listening for a while, couldn't help but ask, "Future history... is there still such a major in North America?"

I almost forgot, there's someone here who speaks English!

Li Yun glanced at her and smiled slightly. Just as he was about to explain, Ye Chen next to him slowly said, "That's right, Tingting, as far as I know, there is indeed such a group of people studying future history. I have a friend who is one of them. They call themselves the Future History School..."

“…”

Li Yun's mouth twitched, and he also showed a surprised expression: "Brother Ye, is your friend's surname Zhang?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen had completely confirmed Li Yun's identity. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Yes, Brother Li, you know him too?"

Li Yun smiled and nodded: "I do know him. I also know a Chinese professor named Luo. He also studies this strange field. It seems to be called cosmic sociology..."

Later in the conversation, the two had switched back to Chinese, but what they talked about, such as the school of future history and cosmic sociology, were things that Mr. Ren, Uncle Jiu and others had never heard of.

They were confused but too embarrassed to show it, so they could only smile and nod, pretending to be listening.

Ye Chen coughed lightly and ended the topic: "Brother Li, although we have just met, we feel like old friends. Why don't we go to the private room next door and chat after this matter is over? As for now, let's not steal the show."

"Brother Ye is absolutely right."

Li Yun smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

Master Ren and Uncle Jiu looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After handing the ordered menu to the waiter, Mr. Ren finally officially started the conversation.

"Regarding the matter of relocating my father's burial, I wonder if you have chosen an auspicious day, Uncle Jiu?"

When talking about his specialty, Uncle Jiu was no longer sleepy. He straightened his face and said in a serious tone, "Master Ren, I advise you to think about it carefully. It is better to stay still than to move. It is better not to move the grave..."

Master Ren waved his hand and said seriously, "I've thought about it. When my father was buried, the Feng Shui master said that the coffin must be moved after 20 years. This is the best way for us, the descendants!"

Wencai, who had been holding back and not daring to speak, finally found an opportunity to speak and quickly interrupted, "Master Ren, you can't trust everything the Feng Shui master says!"

As a college student who had studied abroad, Ren Tingting didn't believe in these superstitious things. In addition, Wencai had been staring at her before, which made her extremely disgusted. When she heard this, she couldn't help but refute it.

"So can we believe what you say?"

After these words were spoken, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

Master Ren frowned and glared at his daughter: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!"

"father--"

Ren Tingting refused and acted coquettishly. Ye Chen coughed lightly, leaned close to Ren Tingting's ear and said a few words, then he calmed her down.

Uncle Jiu calculated a few things and nodded, saying, "In that case, let's start construction at 3 p.m. three days later!"

Master Ren nodded and asked, "Then what should we, as descendants, prepare?"

Seeing that there was room for improvement, Wencai said again, "Of course, we should take a bath and eat three days of Jidu fasting first!"

Uncle Jiu couldn't help but glare at him, signaling him to shut up, but Wencai continued to show off, "However, there are seven kinds of Jidu vegetarian meals, and you can't eat the wrong ones. If you want to ascend to heaven, of course you should eat the Qing vegetarian meal. If you have any problems and need help from the gods, you should eat the Zhijiao vegetarian meal..."

Seeing that Uncle Jiu was about to get furious, Li Yun reached out his hand with amusement and pressed Wencai's mute point.

Wencai's eyes widened instantly, and he stammered, unable to utter a complete word.

Uncle Jiu pretended not to notice Li Yun's little action, and sneered, "Why, you can't say it?"

Wencai pointed at his mouth in panic and made a humming sound.

Uncle Jiu ignored him and took the opportunity to scold him, "You came out to show off your half-baked knowledge. Now you're embarrassed and you want to ask Master for help?"

Seeing Wencai's funny look, Ren Tingting grabbed Ye Chen's arm and tried to hold back her laughter, almost laughing into Ye Chen's arms.

Master Ren could not see anything unusual, and he smiled and complimented, "After all, a disciple is a disciple. When it comes to serious matters, I have to look up to you, my master, Uncle Jiu - so what should we eat?"

"Remember this!"

Uncle Jiu glared at Wencai, then looked at Master Ren and said with a smile, "Opening the coffin and unearthing it will inevitably cause a stir, so we must apologize to the gods of heaven, earth and water. We should eat the Three Yuan vegetarian meal, and the offerings can be anything normal, but remember not to include any soybean sprouts."
