Gao Yao's Plea for Help

"A cup of coffee and an egg tart."

Uncle Nine glanced at the scene calmly, then spoke to the waiter with elegance and understanding.

The waiter smiled and took the menu, saying, "Please wait a moment."

Wencai looked completely bewildered, staring at the menu he couldn't understand at all, his face full of confusion.

What is all this?

Hearing Uncle Nine's words, he was somewhat puzzled as to why Uncle Nine seemed so familiar with the place, but he quickly replied, "I'd like a coffee and an egg tart as well."

The waiter smiled in response and turned to leave.

Master Ren exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Nine also knows about Western tea!"

Uncle Nine's expression remained natural as he calmly replied, "I've done some research."

Just as the two were talking, a beautiful young woman with a pretty face and fashionable clothes walked over.

She giggled and said, "Daddy."

"Haha, Tingting's here, have a seat."

When Master Ren saw the person who had arrived, his face immediately lit up with a smile.

After the beautiful young woman sat down, she raised her hand to Uncle Nine and smiled, "Let me introduce you. This is Uncle Nine, an expert in feng shui. Uncle Nine is one of the top masters in our town."

Everyone carries the bridal sedan chair.

Uncle Nine couldn't help but smile when he heard Master Ren's introduction.

Ren Tingting pursed her lips, not believing in so-called feng shui or Daoist arts. Having been influenced by Western culture since childhood, she preferred to believe in science rather than these so-called traditions.

However, with Master Ren present, Ren Tingting couldn't show her true feelings.

She nodded politely and said, "Hello, Uncle Nine."

Uncle Nine said calmly, "Okay."

Master Ren seemed to see through Yue Tingting's disdain and continued, "Uncle Nine not only understands feng shui and Daoist arts, but he is also quite knowledgeable about Western tea."

Upon hearing this, Ren Tingting looked at Uncle Nine with slight surprise.

This was just an ordinary small town, and Western tea was a rather high-end and unfamiliar thing to ordinary people. She had thought that Uncle Nine was just an old stubborn man, just like those Daoist priests and monks.

Ren Tingting asked in surprise, "Uncle Nine knows about Western tea?"

Just then, the waiter brought coffee, milk, sugar, and steaming hot egg tarts.

"Sir, your coffee and egg tarts."

Uncle Nine narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "I only know a little about Western tea."

Take coffee, for example. The word "coffee" comes from the Greek word Kaweh, which means strength and passion.

In the late 16th century, coffee began to spread to Europe on a large scale through Italy, under the name of "the devil's drink." At that time, some Catholics considered coffee a "devil's beverage" and urged Pope Clement VIII to ban it.

However, after tasting it, the Pope deemed it drinkable and blessed the coffee, thus leading to its gradual spread throughout Europe.

There are even more ways to drink coffee!

Uncle Nine stopped there and didn't say anything more.

He added a little milk and sugar to his coffee cup, then elegantly and naturally picked it up and took a small sip.

Ren Tingting stared in disbelief, blinking blankly.

She hadn't really paid attention to the history of coffee, but she did know something about the meaning of the word "coffee." Seeing Uncle Nine speaking so knowledgeably, she couldn't help but feel shocked and impressed.

Uncle Nine, do you really understand Western tea?

Wencai was completely dumbfounded.

When did Master learn about Western tea?

Uncle Nine silently sipped his coffee, glancing sideways at the expressions of the crowd.

Seeing the shocked expressions on Ren Tingting and Master Ren, he felt even more delighted.

The information in the Chat Group is really useful!

When you don't know how to use the library, it's definitely the right choice.

Uncle Nine was feeling quite pleased with himself after showing off.

He put down his coffee and continued, "Master Ren, I'm a straightforward person, and I speak my mind. The dark clouds around your and your daughter's foreheads indicate impending doom, and this matter is undoubtedly related to what we're discussing today."

Uncle Nine's expression turned serious as he spoke.

He didn't mean to scare Master Ren; he wanted to save his life.

Putting aside their current client-customer relationship, Uncle Nine was also very satisfied with Master Ren's attitude.

Moreover, he was counting on Master Ren to help him fool a certain Sun Goddess, so naturally he didn't want Master Ren to die in the tragedy that was about to happen.

Master Ren's expression changed slightly; he seemed somewhat nervous.

Ren Tingting frowned, looking slightly dissatisfied.

Master Ren said, "Uncle Nine, you mustn't scare me like that."

Uncle Nine sighed, "It's not that I'm trying to scare you, but your appearances are like this. If we can't find the root of the problem, the Ren family might be in trouble."

Uncle Nine hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He couldn't directly tell the Old Master Ren had turned into a zombie, nor could he directly point out the problem to the Ren family. But if he didn't lend a hand, none of the Ren family members would survive.

Uncle Nine is concerned about his reputation, but he is very clear about right and wrong.

Master Ren looked grim, his lips trembling as he couldn't utter a word.

In this world, in this era, Daoist arts and feng shui are not superstitions, but real things. Although Master Ren has never seen them, he has heard of them. So he believes in the existence of feng shui and Daoist arts, but it is precisely because he believes that he is afraid.

Is the Ren family about to face a calamity?

Master Ren believed it, but Ren Tingting did not.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she glared at Uncle Nine: "Nonsense! How could anything happen to the Ren family? I think you're just a con artist, trying to..."

Uncle Nine frowned, but didn't utter a rebuttal.

He slightly raised his right hand towards Ren Tingting, then slammed his palm on the table.

"Bang!"

A dull thud came from the desktop, startling Ren Tingting.

After finishing all this, Uncle Nine stood up and said, "Farewell."

He turned and left, looking incredibly dashing.

Wencai was completely bewildered. He looked at Uncle Nine who had left, then at Ren Tingting, who was initially slightly surprised but then became Ren Tingting, and at the hesitant Master Ren. He hurriedly chased after him.

"Master, wait for me."

Master Ren sighed, "Tingting, you're too willful."

Ren Tingting, like a proud little penguin, raised her head and snorted, "Hmph, if I weren't so clever, Daddy would have been fooled. See, if I hadn't hit the nail on the head, why wouldn't he be embarrassed?"

"Bang!"

Before Ren Tingting could finish speaking, a dull thud suddenly came from the table.

Hearing the sound, the two turned their heads to look.

Where Uncle Nine struck, the tabletop vanished completely, leaving only a pile of wood dust on the ground, with a clear palm print hole on it!

Their pupils contracted.

This!

After a moment of stunned silence, Master Ren was filled with regret.

He pounded his chest and exclaimed, "It's over, it's over! We were blind to a true talent!"

at the same time.

Wencai caught up with Uncle Nine and complained, "Master, we haven't even had the coffee or the egg tarts yet! We're just leaving like this? At least we should have eaten something before we go. It's such a waste to order food and then not have any to eat."

Uncle Nine rolled his eyes.

Eat, eat, eat my ass!

Are we just going to stay there and wait to pay for the table?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems a bit of a pity. They should have eaten and drunk their fill before putting on a show and leaving. Now they've worked for nothing and wasted a good opportunity to get a free meal.

Uncle Nine rebuked, "We cultivators, how could we have so much greed?"

Wencai looked aggrieved and remained silent.

Uncle Nine's expression shifted slightly, and he comforted him, "Alright, Master Ren will come looking for us again. We'll go for Western tea next time."

Wencai asked doubtfully, "Master just slammed his fist on the table, will Master Ren still come?"

Uncle Nine said firmly, "Yes."

He slammed the table not because he was angry, and given Uncle Nine's personality, he wouldn't really get angry with Ren Tingting over such a trivial matter. His real purpose was to intimidate Master Ren and prevent him from causing trouble during the upcoming grave relocation.

Uncle Nine hadn't forgotten that if it weren't for Master Ren's repeated obstruction, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

He believed that, given what had happened before, Master Ren would not be as stubborn as Li Hao had envisioned in the future.

Thinking about this, Uncle Nine felt much better.

Chat Group.

Lin Jiu: "The matter has been resolved."

The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "What is it?"

Lin Jiu: "About Old Master Ren."

Goddess Leona: "╭(╯^╰)╮ Hmph, my golden body!"

Uncle Nine patted the neurologist helplessly. "My goddess, can you please calm down a little?"

Lin Jiu: "Preparations are already underway, Goddess, please rest assured."

Goddess Leona: "Hmm, you're smart. Once you've established your golden statue for me, I'll reward you with something good."

Uncle Nine's eye twitched slightly.

nice one.

Well, cough cough, I'm kind of inexplicably looking forward to it.

Calm down, calm down.

We can't let people laugh at us.

Omniscient Li: "Master Ren is quite stubborn, how did you persuade him?"

Uncle Nine barely suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "A little trick."

Uncle Nine briefly described what had just happened, automatically omitting the part about cheating and showing off by relying on knowledge from the Chat Group.

Omniscient Li: "Interesting. For dealing with people like this, simple and brutal methods are the most effective."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Forced pretense is the most fatal."

"Tsk tsk, I reckon Master Ren is probably trembling with fear right now."

Goddess Leona: "(ˉ▽￣~) Tch~~, it's good to teach a stubborn old man like Master Ren a lesson. If it weren't for Master Ren's meddling, there wouldn't have been so much trouble, and Lin Jiu would have solved this zombie problem long ago."

Xu Xian: "Uncle Nine, you are merciful. As the Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Uncle Nine, you have saved more than one life this time."

Chen Nan: "Xu Xian, when did you start studying Buddhist scriptures?"

Omniscient Li: "→_→, is Xu Xian planning to defect to Fa Hai ahead of schedule?"

Wanwan: "Wow Y(^o^)Y, this is so exciting!"

Is Fa Hai handsome? What does Xu Xian like about Fa Hai? Is it because of his unique identity, his age, or his personality? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, I've decided to make you two the protagonists in my next book!

Xu Xian was speechless.

Although he had only been in the group for a short time, he had heard some things about Wanwan.

Upon hearing Wanwan's words, Xu Xian automatically conjured up a scene that was both epic and heart-wrenching, earth-shattering and touching—ugh.

Thinking of this, Xu Xian finally couldn't hold back and vomited.

Me, me!

Just as everyone was about to attack Wanwan, Gao Yao suddenly said, "Group leader, I've received a special mission."
