Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Lin Yaoxie smiled at Ren Fa and then pulled out a chair and sat down.

Only Wencai marveled at the restaurant's decor, clearly amazed by its luxury.

"Aren't you going to sit down?" Uncle Nine smiled awkwardly at Ren Fa and scolded Wen Cai.

Wencai quickly pulled out a chair and sat down; he was still very afraid of Uncle Jiu.

Ren Fa smiled nonchalantly, ignoring Uncle Jiu's embarrassment as if he didn't know what was going on.

The bigger the business, the higher one's self-cultivation becomes. One will not show contempt or disrespect, and even if one does, one will not show it. This is a manifestation of self-cultivation.

To judge the size of a person's business, you have to look at their character and cultivation, unless they are a nouveau riche, in which case there's nothing to say.

Although Ren Fa wasn't a very wealthy man, he was shrewd and naturally understood that when someone was embarrassed, it was best to ignore what embarrassed them, otherwise the other person would be even more embarrassed.

Before Uncle Nine could speak with Ren Fa, a pretty girl in a Western-style dress walked over.

The girl was tall and slender with fair skin. Her breasts stood proudly, pushing up the V-neckline and even slightly revealing a glimpse of her fair cleavage, which was truly arousing.

The girl's delicate and pure face was very beautiful, her fair and tender skin was very elastic, and it even had a slight rosy glow. Combined with her slender and tall figure, she was simply a goddess!

[I love her the most... The first time I watched Mr. Vampire, I dreamed about her... Oops, I think I revealed something...]

When Lin Yaoxie saw this girl, a slight ripple stirred in his heart. Ren Tingting, Ren Fa's daughter. He had been extremely fond of Ren Tingting when they watched the movie years ago, and now...

"Dad." Ren Tingting walked over and called out to Ren Fa, then politely nodded to Uncle Jiu, Lin Yaoxie, and Wen Cai.

Ren Fa smiled and nodded. He doted on his only daughter, especially since she was born in his middle age, making her all the more precious to him.

"This is Uncle Jiu, quickly call him Uncle Jiu." Ren Fa introduced him to Ren Tingting with a smile.

Ren Tingting smiled generously at Uncle Jiu and called out, "Uncle Jiu."

"Hmm." Uncle Nine nodded with a smile, then looked at Ren Fa.

Ren Fa then introduced, "Uncle Jiu, this is my daughter, Ren Tingting. She just returned from another province. Please take good care of her."

"Haha, Mr. Ren, you're too kind," Uncle Nine said with a smile and a nod.

Uncle Nine and Ren Fa were chatting, while Wen Cai stared blankly at Ren Tingting, making no attempt to hide his lecherous look.

Ren Tingting was annoyed by Wen Cai's gaze, and turned around to sit down, only to find that there were no seats available.

"Miss Ren, please have a seat." Lin Yaoxie stood up and said with a light smile, and considerately pulled out his own chair and brought over another chair.

Ren Tingting was slightly taken aback. When she saw Lin Yaoxie considerately move the chair she had been sitting on for a long time and bring her a new one, she smiled and said, "Thank you."

Lin Yaoxie's considerate actions, coupled with his handsome appearance and refined temperament, and in contrast to Wen Cai's loser looks and lecherous demeanor, easily won Ren Tingting's favor.

Fortunately, Wen Cai was unaware that Ren Tingting was comparing him to Lin Yaoxie, and that in the end he sacrificed himself to help Lin Yaoxie. Otherwise, he would have cried and screamed and wanted to find a block of tofu to smash his head against to die.

Of course, Ren Tingting's goodwill is just that—goodwill. Having goodwill means that she simply approves of you as a person.

"Who is this?" Ren Fa asked Lin Yaoxie in surprise. After all, with Wen Cai's loser appearance, and Lin Yaoxie's handsome looks, refined temperament, and gentlemanly behavior in comparison, it was easy for him to notice him.

Uncle Nine looked at Lin Yaoxie and nodded in satisfaction. He was very happy that his nephew had not embarrassed him like his disciple Wencai.

Upon hearing Ren Fa's words, Uncle Nine smiled and introduced, "This is my eldest brother's disciple, Lin Yaoxie. He's temporarily staying with me. Don't let his young age fool you; he has quite a few skills. In a few years, I won't be able to compare to him."

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa looked at Lin Yaoxie in surprise. He knew that Uncle Jiu never exaggerated when he spoke, so for Uncle Jiu to say such things about Lin Yaoxie now clearly meant that Lin Yaoxie was a truly capable person.

As a result, Ren Fa naturally took it seriously. In business, building connections is very important, especially with capable people.

"So it's Young Master Lin, hello, hello." Ren Fa said politely. Although he didn't know how to address him, he addressed Lin Yaoxie as Young Master based on his elegant demeanor.

Lin Yaoxie politely cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Hello, Mr. Ren."

After exchanging a few polite words, Ren Fa continued his discussion with Uncle Jiu, while Wen Cai, that goofball, kept staring at Ren Tingting.

Ren Tingting glanced at Wen Cai with great annoyance, which made her think even more that the refined and cultured Lin Yaoxie next to her was quite nice. Thinking of this, she decided that since she wasn't interested in what her Ninth Uncle and her father were talking about anyway, she shouldn't take up her seat and let Lin Yaoxie stand.

"Dad, I want to buy some rouge and face powder," Ren Tingting said.

Ren Fa nodded casually and said, "I'll come find you when I get back."

P.S.: The sixth update is coming soon! Please give me some flowers and a reward, others have given so much...

-----------------------------

"Hmm." Ren Tingting stood up, nodded with a wicked smile to Uncle Jiu and Lin Yao, and then turned and left, ignoring Wen Cai.

It has to be said that Wen Cai's contribution to making her feel good about Lin Yaoxie is indelible. He is simply a living Lei Feng, or rather, Lei Feng transmigrated and possessed Wen Cai.

Lin Yaoxie had actually planned all of this from the moment Ren Tingting entered the room. He used her literary talent as a pretext, hoping that Ren Tingting would develop feelings for him after comparing them.

What a waste of his talent!

Seeing Ren Tingting leave, Wen Cai, this goofball, felt very regretful and could only lower his head and drink his tea.

"Uncle Jiu, what would you like to drink?" Ren Fa asked Uncle Jiu as he called over the waiter.

In the original novel, Ren Tingting was very annoyed by Wencai's lewd behavior but didn't know what to say, so she came up with a way to get back at Wencai.

But this also caused Uncle Nine a lot of trouble. He drank pure coffee without milk or sugar and ate egg tarts that were already sweet but had sugar and milk added on.

However, since Ren Tingting left early to give up her seat to Lin Yaoxie, the embarrassing scene that followed was not to happen.

"Uncle-Master, I'd like to wander around a bit." Lin Yaoxie wasn't particularly interested in Western things, so he spoke up.

Uncle Nine smiled and nodded, saying, "Go early and come back early. We'll go help Master Ren with the feng shui tomorrow."

"Hmm." Lin Yaoxie nodded and left.

Wencai also wanted to leave, but was frightened by Uncle Jiu's glare and dared not even think about leaving. He silently resented, "Who is your disciple anyway? Why do you treat your nephew better than your disciple?"

……

Street.

The streets were adorned with blooming flowers, bustling with people, and filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares. Stalls and shops lined both sides of the cobblestone streets.

Walking down the street, Lin Yaoxie smiled calmly. Humans are social animals, and even someone as eccentric as him would find it hard to stand being alone for too long.

After walking for a short while, Lin Yaoxie spotted Ren Tingting wandering around. There was no way to hide her stunning beauty, which was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, from the bustling street.

"Miss Ren," Lin Yaoxie said with a faint smile as he slowly walked over.

Ren Tingting was looking at a clay figurine stall when she suddenly heard someone call her name. She turned around instinctively and was surprised to see Lin Yaoxie. She said, "Young Master Lin?"

"Clay figurines? I didn't expect that Hong Kong would have such a craft." Lin Yaoxie nodded, then smiled as he looked at the clay figurines displayed on the stall and the owner who was making small clay figurines.

Upon hearing this, Ren Tingting looked at the little clay figure with some confusion and said, "Why is it so strange that Hong Kong has this?"

"Clay figurines are a craft from the North, originating in the late Qing Dynasty. They're not commonly seen in the South," Lin Yaoxie said with a light laugh, picking up a small clay figurine to examine it.

"Young man, you know so much! That's right, I'm the only one in Hong Kong who can sculpt clay figures. And I'm not even a local; I'm from the mainland," the clay figure stall owner exclaimed in admiration.

At this moment, Ren Tingting looked at Lin Yaoxie in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you, Young Master Lin, are so knowledgeable that you even know this."

Now, Ren Tingting's perception of Lin Yaoxie has risen to a new level, from his initial handsomeness and dashing appearance, to his elegant demeanor, and now to his profound knowledge.

Lin Yaoxie smiled slightly, neither modest nor arrogant. He understood women quite well, especially rich and beautiful women. Handsome, charming, knowledgeable, and genuine, they were a powerful tool for winning favor.

"It is my honor to meet you two today, Miss and Young Master. Please accept these two clay figurines as a gift." At this moment, the clay figurine stall owner smiled and handed two clay figurines to Lin Yaoxie and Ren Tingting.

Just as Ren Tingting was about to take the little clay figure, Lin Yaoxie narrowed his eyes and blocked her way.

"What's wrong?" Ren Tingting looked at Lin Yaoxie with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yaoxie smiled and looked at the clay figurine stall owner, saying, "I am the nineteenth generation direct disciple of the Maoshan Sect! Please find someone else, sir."

Upon hearing this, the clay figurine stall owner's smile froze slightly. After a long while, he sighed and apologized to Lin Yaoxie: "Please forgive me, young master. I was blind to your greatness and deserve to die!"

"You go your way, I'll go mine. We're all in the same boat, so there's no need to worry about these trivial matters. However, this young lady is a good friend of mine, so please don't take it to heart, sir," Lin Yaoxie said with a faint smile.

Ren Tingting looked at Lin Yaoxie and the clay figurine stall owner with great confusion, clearly not understanding what was going on.

"Of course, how could I dare to covet a young master's friend?" the clay figurine stall owner said helplessly.

Only then did Lin Yaoxie smile and nod before leaving with Ren Tingting.

After Lin Yaoxie and Ren Tingting had gone far away, the clay figurine stall owner let out a sigh of relief, smiled bitterly, packed up his stall, walked into the shadows, and disappeared in an instant.

Ren Tingting, who had just arrived on another street, asked curiously, "What did you mean by what you said to the clay figurine stall owner?"

Chapter Nineteen: This Chapter's Guide to Picking Up Girls [6/6]

“That person is a ghost,” Lin Yaoxie said, glancing at Ren Tingting.

Actually, that person wasn't a ghost, but a sorcerer from Southeast Asia. However, Lin Yaoxie couldn't tell Ren Tingting too much, because what if Ren Tingting blamed him for not getting rid of that person?

Those two clay figures have been implanted with evil magic. Once these clay figures are brought home, the evil magic will be activated, capturing the three souls and seven spirits of the entire family and putting them into the clay figures. Then, the clay figures will automatically return to the hands of the sorcerer with the three souls and seven spirits. From then on, the three souls and seven spirits will never be reborn, becoming tools and vessels for the sorcerer to perform evil magic.

As for how Lin Yaoxie knew this, it was naturally because he had experienced too much and learned too much during his time in the inland areas. When he saw the clay figure, he immediately saw through this evil magic. As for why he didn't get rid of that sorcerer?

What a joke! Why get rid of that sorcerer? Is it fun to fight someone for no reason? Did he offend Lin Yaoxie? When he learned that Lin Yaoxie was a cultivator, he readily apologized and made amends.

If that sorcerer hadn't apologized earlier, Lin Yaoxie might have actually killed him on the spot. But since the sorcerer apologized so readily, Lin Yaoxie naturally preferred to avoid trouble. Fighting with others is dangerous, you know? That sorcerer was also at the second level of Qi Refining, you know.

Who cares about other people's lives or deaths? As long as you protect yourself and the safety of those important to you, that's all that matters.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie decided to create some defensive magical artifacts for his woman or someone extremely important to him to protect himself in the future.

At this moment, Ren Tingting was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale. Fortunately, she didn't scream. She just looked around in fear and whispered to Lin Yaoxie, "You're not trying to scare me, are you?"

"How could that be? If you accept that little clay figure, that ghost will come looking for you tonight." Lin Yaoxie deliberately threatened, and the woman, frightened, naturally sought safety.

As expected, upon hearing this, Ren Tingting was so frightened that she grabbed Lin Yaoxie's arm and looked around timidly, clearly quite shaken.

"But don't worry, you can rest assured with me here. That ghost can't beat me. Didn't you see him apologize to both of us? And he even promised not to bother you anymore," Lin Yaoxie comforted with a light laugh. A balance of tension and relaxation is the key.

Sure enough, Ren Tingting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She had subconsciously come to regard Lin Yaoxie as someone she trusted, and these words, combined with the scene just now, made her feel much more at ease.

She herself hadn't realized that she could feel so at ease because of one person's words.

Although she hadn't yet realized that she would trust Lin Yaoxie, she still looked at him with some admiration and said, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful that even ghosts are afraid of you."

"Hehe." Lin Yaoxie chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Didn't you want to buy rouge and face powder? Let's go take a look."

"Okay." Seeing that Lin Yaoxie didn't want to talk about this, Ren Tingting didn't press the topic. Instead, she followed up on Lin Yaoxie's words. She was a very understanding and considerate girl.
