7 min read1,801 words
Bai Yu practiced in the room for a while and found that his magical power had increased slightly, and he felt refreshed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Wen Cai shouted from outside, "Daoist Bai, it's time to go."
Bai Yu quickly responded, opened the door, and followed Wen Cai to the outer gate. The two exchanged greetings and headed towards the Western restaurant. Along the way, quite a few people greeted them, which showed the good relationship between Master Jiu and his disciples. However, every time Bai Yu was mentioned, such as "Master Jiu, up so early, who is this behind you? A new disciple?" "Good morning, Master Jiu, you've taken on a new helper again." "Master Jiu, you've taken on another disciple." The Chinese people's nature also came into play, and soon a crowd gathered, and a cacophony of explanations followed. Master Jiu couldn't help but smile awkwardly at Bai Yu, his eyes full of apology. Bai Yu waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, but he couldn't help but secretly wonder if he really looked so insignificant.
As they gradually walked further, the number of people asking questions decreased, and Master Jiu and Bai Yu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, Wen Cai saw their expressions and couldn't help but chuckle. Master Jiu glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Wen Cai was startled and quickly changed the subject, "Master, can I not go to see Lord Ren?"
Master Jiu was puzzled and asked, "Why? Do you have a grudge against Lord Ren?"
Wen Cai looked at the two of them awkwardly and smiled, "No, I don't even know what he looks like. But I've never had foreign tea before, and I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself and embarrass you."
At this, Master Jiu suddenly stopped and a smile appeared on his face, but his eyes were full of killing intent. He looked at Wen Cai and said, "It's good that you're thinking about my face. Afraid of being embarrassed? You don't have to go."
Wen Cai was still basking in the praise from the first part of the sentence, but the sudden change in the second part made his smile freeze. Bai Yu couldn't help but secretly laugh, thinking that Master Jiu was really petty and cared about his face. The two walked a long distance, and Master Jiu suddenly seemed to think of something, muttering, "I've never had foreign tea either, it would be embarrassing to make a fool of myself. No, everything should go as planned, and Wen Cai should come along, sometimes he can go first."
He suddenly stopped and said to Bai Yu, "Junior Brother, I think Wen Cai should come along, so he doesn't say I'm stingy behind my back."
Bai Yu was taken aback and then secretly smiled, thinking, "Did you think I didn't hear you muttering? It sounds like I'm the one not letting Wen Cai come." But he could only nod helplessly.
Master Jiu called out, "Wen Cai."
Wen Cai hadn't walked far and was still regretting his rash words. Hearing the call, it sounded like a thunderclap in his ears. He was overjoyed, jumped up, and loudly responded, "I'm here, I'm here."
He quickly ran over, came in front of Bai Yu and the others, and quickly composed himself, "Master, you called me?"
Master Jiu patted Wen Cai's shoulder and smiled, "I think you're quite sensible. Today, we'll take you to learn how to drink foreign tea."
Wen Cai quickly responded happily, "Sure, sure."
Fortunately, Bai Yu had seen this movie more than once, so he managed to hold back his laughter. These two master and disciple were really amusing.
After about ten minutes, they arrived at a coffee shop. The three walked in, and a waiter stopped them at the door. The waiter asked, "Have the three of you reserved a table?"
Master Jiu was a bit confused, thinking, "Do you need to reserve a table for tea?" He shook his head and said, "No."
Wen Cai frowned and said, "Why didn't Lord Ren reserve a table for us?"
The waiter immediately changed his expression and smiled, "You mean Lord Ren! Please follow me."
Master Jiu gave Wen Cai a glare and followed the waiter. Bai Yu followed closely behind, thinking of the scene in the movie where the two made a fool of themselves, and couldn't help but secretly laugh. Their obsession with face had caused them to make quite a few mistakes.
Soon, the waiter led them to a well-dressed fat man. The three bowed and called out, "Lord Ren." Lord Ren also came forward and clasped his hands, "Uncle Jiu." He then looked at Bai Yu and asked, "Uncle Jiu, have you taken on another disciple?"
Master Jiu quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, this is my junior brother, Bai Yu."
Lord Ren's eyes flashed with surprise, but he clasped his hands and apologized, "It's Daoist Bai, my apologies."
Bai Yu quickly stopped him and joked, "No problem, it's quite normal. On the way here, quite a few people mistook me for my senior brother's disciple, I'm just too young."
Lord Ren couldn't help but laugh, "Daoist Bai, you're really humorous, please sit down."
The three sat down, and Master Jiu asked Lord Ren, "I heard your daughter has returned from the provincial capital, why didn't you invite her along?"
Lord Ren laughed and said, "This girl, she just learned makeup in the provincial capital and has been teaching everyone since she got back." Bai Yu heard Wen Cai mutter, "You look like a bun, your daughter can't be that pretty either." At this moment, Lord Ren pointed outside and said, "My daughter is coming."
Bai Yu looked and saw a figure in Western attire walking over. This Ren Yingying was indeed very beautiful, with a graceful figure and a clear and beautiful face. Wen Cai had already made up his mind and glanced at her indifferently, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned back. When Ren Yingying approached, Wen Cai couldn't help but stand up, wanting to go forward, but finally stopped.
Ren Yingying came to Lord Ren and called out, "Dad."
Lord Ren pointed at Master Jiu and said, "Call Uncle Jiu." Ren Yingying followed his instructions and called out, "Uncle Jiu." Lord Ren then said, "This is Daoist Bai." Ren Yingying's eyes flashed with surprise, thinking, "So young and already a Daoist?" But she still respected the occasion and called out, "Daoist Bai," and sat down next to Bai Yu.
Master Jiu sighed, "You've grown so much." Lord Ren smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Wen Cai lowered his head and stared at her, muttering, "She's really big." This sounded so lewd. Ren Yingying instinctively looked at her chest, huffed, and ignored him.
Bai Yu couldn't help but secretly laugh, thinking, "This guy's resistance is really low." He secretly kicked Wen Cai. Wen Cai, in pain, came to his senses and whispered to Bai Yu, "Daoist Bai, why did you kick me?"
Bai Yu glared at him and said, "Pay attention to your image, don't embarrass yourself."
Wen Cai glanced at Master Jiu, shrank his neck, and quickly responded, "Yes, yes."
Ren Yingying's confusion deepened, thinking, "These two are not much older, but why is their status so different?"
At this moment, a waiter brought the menu to their table. Lord Ren asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Ren Yingying called out first, "I want coffee." Master Jiu quickly memorized the name and repeated it.
Lord Ren also ordered a coffee, and Wen Cai ordered a coffee. When it was Master Jiu's turn, he said, "I'll have a coffee." Bai Yu was helpless, thinking, "Dead to save face, alive to suffer." But he also ordered a coffee.
Wen Cai then asked Master Jiu in a low voice, "Master, can I have coffee instead of coffee?"
Master Jiu glanced at Lord Ren and also replied in a low voice, "If you've ordered it, don't change it."
Lord Ren, sitting opposite, seemed not to hear and acted as if nothing had happened. Bai Yu and Ren Yingying couldn't help but twitch their mouths. These two master and disciple were really a pair of gods. Lord Ren then asked, "Uncle Jiu, regarding the exhumation and reburial of my late father, have you chosen a date?"
Master Jiu said, "I think you should consider it carefully. It's better to leave things as they are."
Lord Ren smiled and said proudly, "I've already considered it. The feng shui expert said that after twenty years, the coffin must be exhumed and reburied, which will be good for us."
At this, Wen Cai interjected, "You can't believe what the feng shui expert says."
Ren Yingying said disdainfully, "Can you believe what you say?"
Wen Cai turned to Master Jiu proudly and said, "Of course..." But he quickly stopped, as he saw the killing intent in Master Jiu's eyes. Lord Ren also interrupted Ren Yingying, "Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are speaking."
Master Jiu continued, "Since that's the case, we'll start the exhumation in three days."
Lord Ren asked, "What do we need to prepare?"
Wen Cai interjected again, "Money, of course." Master Jiu was almost at his breaking point and looked at him sternly, "How much do you want?" Wen Cai, unaware, raised his hand but didn't give a specific amount, and Master Jiu's eyes made him stop.
Bai Yu silently mourned for Wen Cai, thinking, "This guy is sacrificing a lot to impress the girl, almost losing Master Jiu's face." Lord Ren quickly smoothed things over, "It's a small matter, a small matter."
At this moment, a waiter came to Lord Ren and said, "Lord Ren, Mr. Wang has arrived." Lord Ren excused himself to Master Jiu and Bai Yu and went to greet Mr. Wang. The next part was predictable; Master Jiu and Wen Cai were played by Ren Yingying. Pure coffee and egg tarts made Master Jiu and Wen Cai suffer, while Bai Yu was unaffected and secretly laughed on the side. Master Jiu and Wen Cai only realized what had happened after Bai Yu privately told them, and Master Jiu's face turned red.
After a while, this farce of foreign tea finally ended. Master Jiu and Lord Ren discussed the exhumation, and Wen Cai, eager, went to find Ren Yingying. Bai Yu, with nothing to do, thought about not having his own magical weapon. In three days, he would need a good weapon to deal with the zombie. So he told Master Jiu and went to look for materials.
