I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

He has a dignified appearance, but it's a pity he's a Taoist priest.

"If Ren Fa doesn't die, does that mean I changed the course of things?"

Bai Ye glanced at Ren Fa, then fell into deep thought.

Perhaps we could give it a try. There's no need to kill Ren Fa. In the end, the movie is just about advancing the plot, but it's probably also due to Wen Cai and others' oversight. And Old Master Ren, who isn't a bloodsucker, is actually easy to deal with.

Moreover, by saving Ren Fa from death, I can gain some merit. From this perspective, it seems that I still need to save Ren Fa once more.

Just as Bai Ye was pondering, a gentle voice beside him brought him back to his senses: "Dad."

"Yes, Tingting greets Uncle Jiu and Master Bai."

cough cough.

I almost subconsciously replied.

Bai Ye coughed lightly and politely greeted Ren Tingting, while Wen Cai, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded: "It's so big!"

lecher!

Ren Tingting cursed inwardly. At the same time, when her father asked the waiter to bring the menu to Uncle Jiu to order, the waiter couldn't understand the words on it, and she also had a thought of 'revenge' in her mind.

"I'd like a coffee!"

"Master, what is Kofi?"

Wen Cai took the menu and leaned close to Uncle Jiu, asking in a low voice. However, Ren Tingting, who was standing nearby, heard this and secretly mocked him as a country bumpkin.

Mr. Ren ordered coffee, but she said "coffee"—the same thing, which they didn't know. They'd see how she'd tease this lecherous man later.

"coffee is coffee, a Western thing. It tastes a bit bitter and not very good. It's also a bit hot. I think it would be better if there was iced coffee."

Compared to the hot coffee of this era, Bai Ye still misses the coffee with a large cup of iced coffee that cost 9.9 yuan.

"Oh? Sect Leader Bai knows about this too?"

Master Ren's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Bai Ye with curiosity. He hadn't expected that Bai Ye would know about that Western stuff.

"I do know about it, but I don't really like it, so don't bother with that. Just give me a Coke instead."

Compared to coffee, cola is Bai Ye's favorite. He only drinks Coca-Cola!

"You studied abroad too? Aren't you a Taoist priest?"

Ren Tingting blinked her curious big eyes and looked at Bai Ye, asking a question.

P.S.: Thank you all for your donations!

Chapter 52 The First Apprentice Chosen! (Please continue reading, 4K)

"You don't necessarily have to study abroad to know about the outside world."

Bai Ye shook his head. He had lived on this land in both his past life and his present life.

"Sect Leader Bai, how did you find out?"

Wencai was getting a little anxious.

He wanted to have something to talk about with Ren Tingting, but he was just a country bumpkin while she was a rich young lady and so beautiful. He wished she could marry him.

He decided to learn more from Bai Ye so that he could have common topics with Ren Tingting.

Ren Tingting, standing to the side, also blinked her curious eyes as she looked at Bai Ye.

"How about we send you abroad to study, Wencai?"

Uncle Nine turned to look at Wen Cai with a smile. This disciple should be more concerned about his own cultivation than about this.

"Is it really possible, Master?"

Wen Cai looked at Uncle Jiu with anticipation. He hadn't been looking forward to going out before, but now he wanted to go out and see the world, and maybe he and Ren Tingting would have something in common when he came back.

"What do you say?"

Uncle Nine's expression immediately changed. He had been speaking ironically, and the man had the audacity to ask him if he could.

Is your skin itchy again?

"Then I won't go."

Wen Cai's face fell, and seeing Uncle Jiu's expression, he didn't dare to bring up the matter again.

Ren Tingting, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. However, in Wen Cai's eyes, he began to wonder if Ren Tingting had feelings for him, since she had actually smiled at him.

"This simp"

Bai Ye gave Wen Cai a strange look. He wouldn't accept not including him among the four most sycophantic men, even though those sycophants were all quite extraordinary.

This farce didn't last long, and Master Ren began discussing the relocation of the burial site with Uncle Jiu.

Before his father died, he told him that when the time came, the coffin should be exhumed and the remains moved. However, in recent years, their family business had been getting worse and worse, and Mr. Ren also wanted to exhume and move the remains to change the feng shui of his home.

“Master Ren, it’s better to stay put than to act rashly. I think you should think carefully about the matter of moving the coffin and reburying the deceased.”

Uncle Jiu wasn't really in favor of exhuming and relocating the coffin. He felt that since the coffin was properly buried in the ground, it was better to leave it still than to disturb it.

As he spoke, he gestured to Bai Ye with his eyes, hoping that Bai Ye would also help persuade them.

"Indeed, but it mainly depends on what Master Ren thinks."

Bai Ye coughed lightly, feeling Uncle Jiu's gaze. He felt somewhat helpless, wondering how this had come to be related to him again.

It's not like I didn't see it; Master Ren has already made up his mind to relocate the grave. Your attempts to persuade him are clearly futile.

"Dad, why do we need to move the grave? Is there something wrong with Grandpa's grave?"

Speaking of which, aren't you going to buy some rouge and face powder?

Ren Tingting is still here; logically speaking, she should have gone to buy rouge and face powder long ago.

"You don't need to worry about Tingting's matter." Mr. Ren waved his hand, looking somewhat exhausted, and then looked at Uncle Jiu and said, "Uncle Jiu, I'm leaving this matter to you. Huang Baiwan has some business to discuss with me, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay!"

Uncle Nine opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

Although he really wanted to persuade Master Ren to give up this idea, there was nothing he could do since Master Ren had already made up his mind.

"Brother Dao, in fact, we should just respect the wishes of the parties involved in such matters. It's like we know that something is not good, but there's nothing we can do about it. As long as we handle the details well, there won't be so many problems."

"No, I forgot to discuss the price."

After stammering for a long time, Uncle Nine finally managed to utter this sentence.

He forgot to discuss money with Master Ren, and Master Ren left without him even finishing the discussion!

Of course he knew what Bai Ye was saying; he didn't approve. But since the other party had already made up their mind to do it, how could he possibly stop them?

"Why is relocation of graves bad? Isn't that superstition?"

Ren Tingting leaned closer to Bai Ye and asked curiously. Having received a Western education, she naturally did not approve of the Taoist practices; in her view, it was nothing more than charlatanry.

Originally, when she learned that her father and Uncle Jiu were discussing this kind of thing, she didn't actually want to come over.

But then I thought, I can just come over and say hello to my father, and then go buy some cosmetics later. I won't be staying here for long.

However, because Bai Ye's behavior had piqued Ren Tingting's curiosity, she temporarily suppressed her discomfort.

Moreover, she actually felt a little sorry for Bai Ye.

Judging from Bai Ye's appearance, he should have received a modern education, so why would he think of becoming a Taoist priest?

Isn't this a pure waste?

"This isn't superstition, Miss Ren, let me tell you, we..."

"Stop talking, I'm not interested in this!"

Wen Cai, oh Wen Cai.

You provided all the laughs for the day!

Wen Cai originally wanted to explain to Ren Tingting that this kind of thing was not superstition, but before he could finish his sentence, Ren Tingting directly stated that she was not interested in this kind of thing.

"Relocating a grave is similar to moving house. If you've lived in one place for a long time, and someone suddenly comes to help you move, would you feel good about it?"

"not good."

Ren Tingting shook her head, thinking that it seemed to make sense. Although her grandfather had died, they had indeed lived in the same place for so long, and it wouldn't be good to just move away.

"As for superstition, it depends on whether people are willing to believe it or not. Just like people in the past believed that the sky was flat and the earth was square, didn't they?"

Even in the era before Bai Ye's time travel, some people still believed in a flat earth and a round heaven.

"With your eloquence, it's a bit of a waste for you to be a Taoist priest."

"Being a Taoist priest is also a profession. There's no question of it being a waste of one's talents. In fact, I think being a Taoist priest is quite good."

Bai Ye was actually quite satisfied with her identity.

At least in chaotic times, ordinary people are the easiest to die, not only because they have to face warlords, but also all kinds of demons and monsters.

"Master, didn't Miss Ren say she wasn't interested in these things?"

"Get out of here, you idiot!"

Uncle Jiu glared at Wen Cai, feeling somewhat helpless. Was Wen Cai simply uninterested in these matters? Clearly, he wasn't interested in him at all!

If you were as handsome as Bai Ye, maybe he'd be willing to chat with you a bit more.

Thinking of this, Uncle Nine couldn't help but recall his own youth, when even passing dogs would give him a second glance. Sure enough, this is a common trait among handsome men!

"Miss Ren, I'll be going now."

"Okay, let's talk again when we have time. By the way, I'll talk to my father about that matter."

After saying goodbye to Bai Ye, Ren Tingting said something to Uncle Jiu, implying that she would inform Master Ren about the matter of not having discussed the price yet, as Uncle Jiu had just mentioned.

It seems I'll have to wait until next time to buy rouge and face powder.

"Thank you very much, Miss Ren. I will choose a suitable day to relocate the remains later."

Uncle Jiu glanced gratefully at Ren Tingting. He had clearly sensed that Ren Tingting didn't like them because of Wencai.
