Chapter 2: The Transmigrator?

  Qiu Shui stood beside and almost couldn't help but laugh. Shi Fu and Wen Cai were really too funny.

  They walked for about ten minutes and came across a coffee shop, the three of them went in. As soon as they entered, they saw that it was lavishly decorated with a strong Western flavor. At this time, a waiter stopped them and politely asked: "Excuse me, have you reserved a table?" Jiū Shū was somewhat bewildered - did one need to reserve a table just to drink tea? He shook his head and said: "No."

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

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

  Jiu Shu saw Wen Cai's appearance and, with a straight face, gave him a sentence: "Mind your own business." Then he followed the waiter to the second floor. Qiu Shui closely followed behind, and couldn't help but think of that scene in the movie where the two of them made fools of themselves abroad. She secretly laughed to herself, thinking that although they were both stubbornly trying to save face, it had led to many embarrassing situations for the master-apprentice duo.

  Before long, the waiter led them to a dignified-looking fat man in Chinese attire. Ninth Uncle stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Mr. Ren." Mr. Ren stepped forward with clasped fists in response, saying: "Ninth Uncle."

  "Hello, Master Ren." Chushui tugged at Wencai's sleeve and greeted Master Ren in unison.

  After the three of them exchanged greetings and sat down, Old Master Ren waved his hand, and the three strangely dressed people standing behind him simultaneously bowed to Ninth Uncle with a fist in their hands, saying: "Ninth Uncle."

  Jiu Shu looked at the people in front of him who were dressed in strange attire and asked Ren Lao Ye somewhat hesitantly: "Who are these people?"

  "Normally when I go out on business, the road is not very safe. These three are the escorts I've hired." Mr. Ren said to Ninth Uncle.

  Akira was actually shocked to see these three people just now, because they were all wearing the same camouflage combat uniforms from Akira's previous world before crossing over. Although surprised, his face did not reveal any expression. Not to mention that he had been in this world for many years, but in his previous life, Akira was an elite anti-terrorist special forces soldier trained by the country for many years, and his face would not reveal his inner thoughts.

  Later, when Ninth Uncle and Old Man Ren were talking, Qiū Shuǐ was secretly sizing up these three people in strange clothes, with a bad premonition in his heart. It's worth noting that after Qiū Shuǐ came to this world for several years, he had almost prepared to leave his master, and some supernatural things Qiū Shuǐ had done alone, such as driving corpses and eliminating evil ghosts. In these few years, Qiū Shuǐ had also encountered several dangers, all of which he survived by relying on his sixth sense.

  Qiu Shui was sizing up the three people, and the three people furrowed their brows, also secretly sizing up Qiu Shui. They were puzzled in their hearts: "There's no such person in the original story, what's going on? Has the plot changed!" Their hearts were filled with worry.

  At this time, both of them were lost in thought, and Ninth Uncle was also discussing the matter of relocation with Old Ren. To be sure, relocation is not an ordinary thing in this world of gods and ghosts, it can have a great impact on future generations, and ordinary people will not relocate their ancestors' graves.

  Of course, the original did not have the plot of Tingting teasing Ninth Uncle and his disciples. Autumn Water reminded Ninth Uncle on the side, and as an old Jianghu, how could he not know the truth? He secretly sized up Autumn Water and Old Master Ren, then learned from them how to drink foreign tea and suddenly enlightened, also learning to drink.

  After all, Ninth Uncle is his own master, and he can have today completely thanks to Ninth Uncle's credit. Autumn Water would not let his respected and loving master lose face in front of outsiders.

  Although Qiū Shuǐ seemed to be focused on the table, he was actually worried about the three guards opposite him. Perhaps they were also cross-dimensional travelers? But where did their shoes and clothes come from? The clothes and shoes that Qiū Shuǐ saw at a glance knew that they were authentic military products, which this society could not produce. Moreover, they stared at Jiǔ Shū's eyes with some fervor, occasionally glancing down at Qiū Shuǐ. This couldn't help but make people suspicious!

  Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, it was just an instant.

  "Old Master Ren asked at this time: 'Ninth Uncle, about the matter of moving and reburying our late father's coffin, have you chosen a date yet?'"

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

  Mr. Ren smiled and said: "I've thought it through clearly, the geomancer who looked at the feng shui back then said that twenty years later, we must move the coffin to a new location, this is better for us."

  At this time, Wencai interrupted: "You can't believe in Feng Shui."

  Ren Tingting sneered: "Can you believe what you're saying?"

  "Of course..." Wen Cai was saying with a smirk, turning his head towards Ninth Uncle, but when he saw the murderous look in Ninth Uncle's eyes, he couldn't continue speaking. Old Master Ren interrupted Ren Tingting's words, saying: "Adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."

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

  "Then what should we prepare?" asked Ren Lao Ye with some doubt.

  Wencai, pleased with himself, chimed in: "Prepare the money." Jiū Shū's face was dark and he was already on the verge of exploding. He glared at Wencai and said in a low voice: "How much do you want?" Wencai stretched out one hand, but before he could say a specific amount, he saw Jiū Shū's eyes, which seemed to be devouring him, and was forced to retreat.

  Qiu Shui was secretly grieving in his heart, this kid had sacrificed too much to show off in front of the beauty, and almost lost Ninth Uncle's face. Qiu Shui himself felt embarrassed. Ren Lao Ye hurriedly came out to mediate, saying: "No big deal, no big deal."

  While opposite Ren Tingting was also sizing up the young and handsome man in front of her, 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy physique, his handsome face was as if carved by a knife, and just looking at him made her own cheeks flush. Originally planning to tease the three of them, she didn't expect that these three people who looked very rustic actually had some skills too.

  Ren Tingting saw the man opposite her with a tilted mouth looking at herself, pretending to be calm and turning her head to serve coffee to her father. Perhaps feeling embarrassed, after serving the mixed coffee to Old Man Ren, she said: "Dad, I want to go buy some makeup."

  "Go ahead, I'll find you later." Mr. Ren said casually.

  "Old Master Ji's disciple is indeed impressive, dignified and elegant." At this time, Lord Ren also saw the opponent's Old Master Ji's disciple, who was truly a talented individual with an air of elegance that set him apart from others in this world. His every move exuded refinement, and even Lord Ren couldn't help but praise him.

  Upon hearing this, Ninth Uncle's face was like snow melting in winter, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, where, where, we are all unskilled apprentices, still need to be honed." Although his words were not polite, but looking at his expression, even a three-year-old could tell that he was full of smiles.

  After drinking foreign tea, Qiū Shuǐ followed behind Jiǔ Shū, who was walking and chatting with Rèn Lǎo Yé. Qiū Shuǐ didn't go up to interrupt them, as she still paid attention to giving her master face in front of outsiders. As for Wén Cái, he went to the opposite side to find Qiū Shēng at the rouge and powder shop, but this was just what he told Jiǔ Shū, it's unknown whether he actually found Qiū Shēng or Rèn Tíng Tíng...

  As they walked, they suddenly saw Mr. Ren's daughter, Ren Tingting, storming over with a huff and pouting at Mr. Ren, saying: "I'm leaving first, humph."

  "Ting Ting, Ting Ting." Master Ren didn't know what kind of mood his daughter was in, but he still apologized and led Ninth Uncle and Autumn Water to chase after his precious daughter.

  Jiǔ shū kàn dào rèn tīng tīng qián jiǎo cóng yān zhī shuǐ fěn diàn chū lái nù qì ér zǒu, hòu jiǎo wén cái yě chū lái qù zhuī rèn tīng tīng, bèi jiǔ shū lā zhù wèn dào dǐ shì zěn me huì shì?

  Translation:

  Ninth Uncle saw Ren Tingting come out of the cosmetics store and storm off in anger. Wen Cai came out afterwards to chase after Ren Tingting but was pulled back by Ninth Uncle who asked what was going on.

  Then it was Wen Cai's turn to perform. He pointed at the cosmetics shop, then at the door, and walked while bending his arms to mimic a chicken's call. It was so ridiculous that Qiu Shui laughed until she almost couldn't stand up straight.

  Ninth Uncle's face turned black as he watched his apprentice make a fool of himself in front of so many people on the street. With a loud "slap", he slapped Wen Cai's back of the head, sending him flying to the door of Yi Hongyuan across the street. Embarrassed, Wen Cai quickly walked away alone.

  As soon as they returned to the Yi Manor, Qiū Shuǐ's expression turned serious and he said to Jiǔ Shū: "Master, those three guards at Lord Rén's house today are not ordinary."

  Ninth Uncle looked at Qiu Shui with a slow and deliberate gaze, saying: "Not bad, having taught three disciples who are somewhat accomplished. I observe that these few people have an aura of murder surrounding them, they're not ordinary people. However, the world is full of talented and extraordinary individuals, there's no need to worry about it. In today's corrupt society, it's not unusual for wealthy families to hire a few skilled experts."

  But Qiū Shuǐ still had many doubts in her heart, and some things really didn't know how to say to Jiǔ Shū, finally the worries and unease in her heart made Qiū Shu force herself to say: "Master, those three people's clothes are not ordinary!"

  Oh! Ninth Uncle looked at Qiushui in surprise, knowing his son better than anyone else. As Qiushui's master, he deeply understood his disciple and was usually cold-faced with few words, but today he kept mentioning those people.

  At that moment, Ninth Uncle discovered the unease in Autumn Water's bright eyes and was shocked. This disciple had never had this expression before, even when he himself had put him alone in the chaotic burial mound to practice his courage, he was still as calm as ice.

  Later, he even let his apprentice sleep in a coffin with the zombies under the same roof. Recalling those past events, Ninth Uncle felt a sense of comfort in his heart. It's truly heaven's blessing to have sent him such an excellent apprentice, it seems that heaven wants Autumn Water to inherit his legacy.

  "Tell me, what is it about these three people that makes you so uneasy? You've never been uneasy even when surrounded by a group of ghosts!" At this point, Ninth Uncle also asked with a serious face.

  Autumn water was shocked in her heart, and at the same time, a warm feeling arose in her heart. No matter how calm she pretended to be, her master still discovered her unease from her eyes. Suppressing the surging emotions of master and apprentice, she took a deep breath and said: "Master, those three people's clothes are absolutely not something that ordinary people can make, even if it's Old Master Ren's wealth, he can't afford to do it."

  Jiu Shu was shocked upon hearing this and looked at the silent Qiushui, saying solemnly: "You're saying that those clothes are from overseas?"

  Although Ninth Uncle's words were inquiring, Autumn Water knew that Ninth Uncle had also discovered the crux of the problem. To know that even Old Master Ren was only a wealthy outsider in town, and compared to foreign countries, he was far inferior!

  "Not bad, Master. Even abroad, it's not something ordinary people can possess. I was lucky enough to meet a British scholar while rushing to the funeral in a foreign land, and he had two soldiers from the army following him."

  "But today, the attire of these three people is surprisingly similar to that of those few people, you know that when I talked to those foreigners, even their clothes were only worn by a small number of elite troops!"

  Qiu Shui couldn't help it at this time and could only bluff, after all, his own master wouldn't know what the uniforms of foreign troops looked like.

  However, Ninth Uncle believed what Qiū Shuǐ said, after all, the attire of these three people was indeed unlike those from within the country.

  After a brief conversation with Ninth Uncle, it was still impossible to guess the opponent's intention, so Ninth Uncle instructed Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng to be careful.
