Just as Uncle Jiu, Zhang Chulan, and Wencai were halfway through their meal, a middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy landowner walked in.
The moment he entered, he saw the three of them eating with gusto. Ren Fa frowned, displeasure flashing in his eyes.
But as a businessman, how could he let others see through him so easily? He immediately smiled and said:
"Ha ha, Uncle Jiu, I didn't expect you to be eating so early!"
Uncle Jiu looked up at him and smiled.
"Master Ren, you're here. Would you like something to eat as well?"
Zhang Chulan narrowed his eyes, then said with a grin:
"So you're Ren Fa. You don't look like much. Just as expected of a big country landlord!"
The moment those words came out, everyone present fell into an extremely awkward silence.
Yet after Ren Fa saw Zhang Chulan, his clothes, and heard his tone, he did not say anything at once.
He merely smiled and said:
"Ha ha ha, this young friend must be joking. I am merely a businessman.
May I ask who you are...?"
Zhang Chulan replied casually, "I just came back from outside with my big brother and the others. Since we were passing by Uncle Jiu's place, I'm staying at Uncle Jiu's home for a few days.
Alright, waiter, clear this away. We're about done eating. This little cake was a bit too sweet.
It doesn't go well with coffee. Bring each of us three a serving of black tea. Oh, right, I didn't look carefully—do you have black tea here?"
The waiter said, "We do, sir!"
Zhang Chulan casually flicked a silver dollar over. "Bring the tea first. If it isn't enough..."
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly said, "It's enough, it's enough! What you gave earlier was already plenty. With this, it's more than enough—there's even quite a bit extra."
Zhang Chulan said, "Keep the extra as your tip. Hurry up and bring us the black tea!"
The waiter replied, "Yes, sir! Please wait a moment! It'll be right up!"
At that moment, Zhang Chulan looked at Master Ren and smiled.
"I'm truly sorry, Master Ren. We hadn't eaten breakfast, so we were a little hungry when we got here. I just treated Uncle Jiu to a meal. If Master Ren wants to eat too, you can order something else."
Hearing that, Ren Fa awkwardly waved his hand.
"No, no need. I've already eaten. I'll just have them bring me a cup of coffee later!"
Zhang Chulan said, "Oh! So Master Ren ate before coming here. Alright, then!"
Hearing Zhang Chulan repeatedly imply that he should have come earlier, Ren Fa felt thoroughly embarrassed.
Uncle Jiu watched from the side, secretly finding it quite amusing, but he said nothing.
After all, Ren Fa had indeed gone too far. He had invited Uncle Jiu over, yet dragged things out until this late before arriving himself. It truly was excessive.
Ren Fa also understood that his actions might have offended them, so he did not say anything else.
After that, the four of them drank water, drank tea, and ate cake.
Just then, Ren Fa said with a smile:
"Uncle Jiu, my daughter is here. I'll go pick her up!"
Uncle Jiu smiled and nodded.
At that moment, Zhang Chulan looked at Wencai and said in a low voice:
"Uncle Jiu, don't let Wencai speak later!"
Although Uncle Jiu did not understand why, he still gave Wencai a warning.
Then Ren Fa walked in with a Maiden dressed in Western clothes.
Everyone present revealed surprised expressions upon seeing her.
When Zhang Chulan saw her, he secretly thought:
Damn! She really is quite beautiful! Too bad I won't be staying here for long!
After thinking that, Zhang Chulan quickly steadied himself. But Wencai beside him had already turned into a complete lovestruck fool, leaving Zhang Chulan speechless.
Sure enough, some scenes from the movie really do happen!
Zhang Chulan then nudged Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu came back to his senses as well, glanced at Wencai, and his face immediately darkened.
He kicked Wencai directly. Wencai let out a yelp, but under Uncle Jiu's fierce glare, he instantly fell completely silent.
Seeing that, Wencai lowered his head and did not dare make any further moves.
Ren Tingting let out a soft laugh at the sight.
After both sides had exchanged greetings, Master Ren finally spoke.
"Uncle Jiu, the reason I asked you here this time is because I want to move a grave. I wonder if you can handle it?"
The moment Uncle Jiu heard that, he frowned and said directly:
"Master Ren, ancestral graves are best left undisturbed! This is no joking matter. Do you truly want to move the grave?"
Master Ren nodded at those words.
"Yes. This matter was agreed upon long ago. Twenty years ago, the Feng Shui Master said that this burial site could only last for twenty years.
After twenty years, the coffin would need to be exhumed and buried again, so..."
Upon hearing that, Zhang Chulan suddenly spoke up.
"Master Ren, I'm quite curious. Since the Feng Shui Master you mentioned had already said this,
why didn't you go find that Feng Shui Master this time? Why come to Uncle Jiu instead?"
At those words, Uncle Jiu also looked at Ren Fa in confusion.
Ren Fa replied with some embarrassment:
"That Feng Shui Master has already died. Besides, Uncle Jiu is considered the most famous ritual master of our generation, so..."
Zhang Chulan frowned and said:
"I see. That's interesting. But the question is, Master Ren, why exactly do you want to move the grave?
Don't tell me it's because of that Feng Shui Master. If that were really the case, I wouldn't believe it.
You're moving a grave just because of one sentence? Everyone knows that moving a grave is no small matter.
A grave can be said to be a person's home after death. Moving it is the same as tearing down a house and moving somewhere else.
It's practically like moving into a new home all over again. Even in real life, such things must be handled cautiously. What you're doing... is truly a bit excessive.
And only twenty years have passed..."
Ren Fa fell silent at those words.
Zhang Chulan continued, "This matter is extremely important, because some things have to be made clear.
Otherwise, your father might come looking for you at night!"
Ren Fa's entire body trembled. He then gave an awkward smile and said:
"Sigh! Then I'll tell the truth. I didn't care much about moving the grave before.
But in recent years, my business has been getting worse and worse. So, about moving the grave... sigh... I have no choice!"
Uncle Jiu nodded thoughtfully after hearing that.
At that moment, Zhang Chulan understood why Ren Fa in the movie had stubbornly refused to cremate the body.
This bastard was utterly obsessed with money. He wanted nothing more than to get rich, and he was even willing to make use of his long-dead father for it.
Thinking of Ren Fa being killed later on, Zhang Chulan's eyes filled with disdain.
He really brought this upon himself!
For the rest of the time, Zhang Chulan did not say anything more. He simply drank his tea quietly and watched them discuss matters.
Only after they had settled on a date and left the restaurant did Zhang Chulan speak.
"Uncle Jiu, there will probably be trouble ahead.
According to what the big shot said, the person who disrupted this world should have entered Old Master Ren's body.
So in the end, we will definitely have to kill Old Master Ren. When that time comes, we'll need Uncle Jiu to help smooth things over.
But don't worry, it definitely won't cause you any trouble.
Besides, with the big shot here, that fellow shouldn't be anything we need to worry about."
Although Uncle Jiu was no longer as worried after hearing that, he still felt somewhat uncertain.
After returning to the Mourning Hall, Uncle Jiu immediately explained everything. After hearing it, Jiang Zhen laughed loudly and said:
"Ha ha ha! Don't worry, these are all minor matters. There won't be any problems.
Alright, from here on out, just do whatever you need to do. Don't be afraid of anything happening.
Besides, that thing down there will come out sooner or later.
When the time comes, we'll just deal with it. No need to worry!"
