Foreign Tea

  Bai Yu practiced in the room for a while and found that his magical power had increased again, and he felt refreshed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Wen Cai shouted from outside: "Bai Daozhang, it's time to go."

  Bai Yu hastily agreed and opened the door, following Wen Cai to the outer gate. The two exchanged greetings and headed towards a Western-style restaurant. Along the way, there were quite a few people who greeted them, which showed the good relationships between Master Jiǔ's disciples. However, every time someone mentioned Bai Yu in their conversation, such as "Master Jiǔ, you're up so early! Who is this behind you? Is he your new apprentice?" or "Master Jiǔ, you've got a new partner!" or "Master Jiǔ has taken on an apprentice!", the Chinese people's nature was revealed, and soon a crowd of onlookers gathered. After a flurry of explanations from seven mouths and eight tongues, Master Jiǔ couldn't help but smile awkwardly at Bai Yu, his eyes full of apology. Bai Yu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind, but in his heart, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Do I really look like such a small-time person?"

  As they walked a certain distance, the number of people asking questions decreased, and Jiu Shu and Bai Yu seemed to let out a sigh of relief. However, at this time, Wen Cai saw the two men's appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Jiu Shu glared with his eyes and said, "What are you laughing at?"

  Wencai was startled and hastily changed the subject: "Master, can I not go see Old Man Ren?"

  Jiu Shu was taken aback and asked, "What's going on? Have you had a falling out with Master Ren?"

  Wencai looked at the two of them with a hint of embarrassment, smiled and said: "No, I don't even know what he looks like. But from childhood to adulthood, I've never had foreign tea, I'm afraid that later on I'll make a fool of myself in front of Master."

  Jiu Shu suddenly stopped in his tracks, a faint smile spreading across his face, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He looked at Wen Cai and said, "You're thinking of Master's reputation, very good, extremely good. Afraid of losing face? No need to go."

  Wencai was still basking in the praise of his master's first half-sentence, but the sudden change in tone of the second half made his smile freeze. Baiyu couldn't help but secretly laugh at this, thinking that Jiu Shu was indeed narrow-minded and loved to save face. The two walked a long way before Jiu Shu suddenly seemed to think of something and muttered to himself: "I've never had foreign tea either, it's embarrassing to make a fool of myself abroad, no, let's just stick to the usual and have Wencai follow me, sometimes letting him go first."

  He suddenly stopped and said to Bai Yu: "Junior brother, I think it's better to let Wen Cai follow us, so he won't say that I'm stingy behind my back."

  Bai Yu didn't react for a moment, then smiled wryly in his heart. Didn't I hear you muttering to yourself? From the tone of your voice, it sounds like I'm not letting Wen Cai follow me or something. But all he could do was nod reluctantly.

  Jiǔ shū xiàng hòu hǎn dào: "Wén cái."

  Translation:

  "Uncle Jiu shouted back: 'Wencai.'"

  The literary talent had not gone far, and he was already regretting his reckless words. Suddenly, he heard this shout, although it was muffled by the dense crowd, but in his ears, it was louder than a thunderclap. Overjoyed, he jumped up and responded loudly: "I'm here, I'm here."

  He hastily ran over and arrived in front of Bai Yu and the other person. Hastily collecting his smile, he said: "Master, you called for me?"

  Ninth Uncle patted Wen Cai's shoulder and laughed: "I think you're quite sensible, today we'll take you to experience how to drink foreign tea."

  "Good, good."

  Luckily Bai Yu had watched this movie more than once, so he managed to hold back and didn't burst out laughing. These two master-apprentice were really too funny.

  They walked for about another ten minutes before arriving at a coffee shop. The three of them went in, and were stopped by a waiter at the entrance. "Excuse me, have you reserved a table?" he asked. Jiu Shu was somewhat bewildered - did one need to make a reservation just to drink tea? He shook his head and replied, "No."

  Wencai Ban's face sank as he said, "Why didn't Ren Fang reserve a table for us?"

  The waiter immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "You're referring to Mr. Ren! Please follow me."

  Jiu Shu saw Wen Cai's appearance and couldn't help but give him a white eye, following the waiter to walk forward. Bai Yu followed closely behind, but in his heart, he couldn't help but think of the scene from the movie where two masters and apprentices made fools of themselves abroad, and he secretly laughed to himself, their stubbornness about saving face had led them into many embarrassing situations.

  Before long, the waiter led them to a dignified-looking fat man in Chinese attire. The three of them went forward and bowed, saying: "Master Ren." Master Ren also came forward with his fists clasped together and said: "Ninth Uncle." Then he looked at Bai Yu and asked: "Ninth Uncle, have you taken on another apprentice?"

  Ninth Uncle hastily waved his hand and said, "No, no, this is one of my fellow disciples, Bai Yu."

  The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but then he clasped his fists and apologized: "So it was White Daozhang, I was rude."

  Bai Yu hastily stopped him, jokingly saying: "It doesn't matter, but this is quite normal, when I came there were many people who took me for Shifu's disciple, it's just that I'm too young."

  Ren Lao Ye couldn't help but laugh and said: "Bai Dao Zhang is really humorous, please sit down quickly."

  The three of them sat down after responding in unison. Ninth Uncle asked Old Master Ren, "I heard that your daughter returned from the provincial city, why didn't you invite her to come together?"

  Mr. Ren chuckled and said, "This little girl just returned from the provincial city and learned how to put on makeup. As soon as she came back, she went around teaching everyone." Just then, Wen Cai whispered next to him, "You look like a bun, your daughter isn't that pretty either." Suddenly, Mr. Ren pointed outside and said, "My little girl is here."

  A figure in Western attire walked over, and it was indeed a beautiful woman with a slender figure and elegant features. Wenchang had already formed an opinion about her and didn't pay much attention at first glance, but suddenly his eyes flashed with a hint of interest and he turned back to look again. As the woman approached, Wenchang involuntarily stood up, wanting to walk forward, but ultimately stopped in his tracks.

  Yingying ran up to Old Man Ren and exclaimed: "Daddy."

  Mr. Ren pointed at Ninth Uncle and said, "Quickly call Ninth Uncle." Rong Rong followed his words and shouted, "Ninth Uncle!" Mr. Ren then said, "This is White Daozhang." Rong Rong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise - so young and already a Daozhang? However, she still paid attention to the occasion and called out, "White Daozhang." Afterwards, she sat down beside Bai Yu.

  "Uncle Jiu sighed at this time: 'You're all so big now.' Mr. Ren smiled and nodded: 'Yes.'"

  Wen Cai's head slightly lowered, his eyes staring straight at her, and his mouth unconsciously said: "It's so big." But this voice was so lewd. Ren Yingying subconsciously glanced at her own chest, hummed softly, and ignored him.

  Bai Yu couldn't help but smile wryly, this guy's immunity was really too weak. Unconsciously, he kicked Wen Cai under the table. Wen Cai came back to his senses with a start, and glared at Bai Yu with gritted teeth, whispering: "Elder Bai, why did you kick me?"

  Bai Yu glared at him and said, "Mind your image, don't lose face."

  Wencai heard this and couldn't help but glance at Ninth Uncle, shrinking his neck and hastily responding: "Yes, yes."

  Yingying's doubts in her heart grew deeper. These two people were not much different in age, so why was there such a big difference in their status?

  At this time, the waiter came up with the menu and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

  Yan Yingyue was the first to shout: "I want coffee." Jiu Shu hastily and silently wrote down this name, repeating it over and over again.

  Mr. Ren also had a cup of coffee, and Wen Cai had a cup of coffee. When it was Jiu Shu's turn, he said, "Give me a cup of coffee." Bai Yu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but he still ordered another cup of coffee.

  "This made Wencai ask Ninth Uncle in a low voice: 'Master, I don't want coffee, can I have coffee too?'"

  Jiu Shu glanced at Ren Lao Ye and replied in a soft voice, "Once you've made your choice, don't change it."

  Mr. Ren sat opposite, seemingly oblivious to the conversation, with a nonchalant expression. However, Bai Yu and Ren Yingying couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. These two master-disciple pairs were indeed an extraordinary duo. Mr. Ren asked at this time: "Ninth Uncle, regarding the relocation of my father's coffin, have you chosen a date?"

  Ninth Uncle said: "I think you should consider this carefully, it's better to be still than to act."

  Old Ren smiled complacently and said: "I've figured it out clearly, the geomancer who read the Feng Shui back then said that twenty years later, we must move the coffin to a new location, only then will things go well for us."

  At this point, Wen Cai interrupted and said: "You can't believe what Fengshui says."

  "Can you believe everything they say?"

  The talented and confident one turned his head to Ninth Uncle, smugly saying: "Of course..." But he quickly trailed off, because he discovered that Ninth Uncle's eyes had a murderous glint. Old Master Ren also interrupted Ren Yingying: "Adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."

  "Then, since it's like this, we'll start digging up the coffin three days later," said Ninth Uncle.

  "What should we prepare then?"

  Wencai chimed in, "Prepare the money." Jiū Shū was already on the verge of exploding and glared at him, saying, "How much do you want?" Wencai stretched out a hand, but before he could give a specific amount, Jiu Shu's gaze forced him to swallow his words.

  Bai Yu's heart was filled with grief as he faced Wen Cai, but this kid had sacrificed too much to show off in front of the beauty, almost losing Ninth Uncle's face. Ren Lao Ye hurriedly mediated, saying: "No need for that, no need for that."

  At this time, a waiter came to Ren Lao Ye's side and said: "Old Master, Wang Baiwan has arrived." Ren Lao Ye thought that Jiu Shu had retired and gone to greet the so-called Wang Baiwan. Next, it goes without saying that Jiu Shu and Wen Cai were played by Ren Yingying. The pure coffee and sugar egg tart made Jiu Shu and Wen Cai eat bitter food, but Bai Yu was not affected by them, secretly laughing on his own side. In the end, Jiu Shu and the others also reflected on it after Bai Yu told them privately, and Jiu Shu's old face turned red with shame.

  The farce that was different from the foreign land finally came to an end. Ninth Uncle and Old Man Ren had a groundbreaking ceremony, but Wenchang went to find Rong Yanyan instead. Bai Yu had nothing to do and thought about how he still didn't have his own magical artifact. Three days later, something happened, and in order to deal with that powerful zombie, he needed a good magical artifact. So, he told Ninth Uncle and then went to look for materials.
