Xiao Ning: "..."
Completely bewildered.jpg
What's this girl up to?
He reached out and pulled Ren Tingting into his arms, pressing her face against his chest, and asked gently, "Tingting, why did you suddenly have such a strange idea?"
Ren Tingting raised her head, revealing a pretty face streaked with tears, and asked with a hint of bewilderment, "In mythological stories, there are usually no happy endings between immortals and mortals. Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Dong Yong and the Seventh Fairy—they all ended up together!"
"I'm so scared, what if someone comes and breaks us up?"
"Brother Xiao, promise me you won't abandon me, okay?"
Xiao Ning opened his mouth, somewhat speechless.
He said in a deep voice, "Tingting, that's just a myth. Don't take it seriously. Don't think about it too much!"
"Besides, in this world, while I wouldn't dare say I'm invincible, there's absolutely no one who can confidently claim to be able to defeat me!"
"So, Ren Tingting, I love you, and I want to marry you! Who dares to stop me?"
At this moment, Xiao Ning finally looked into his own heart and faced reality. He admitted that he had indeed fallen for Ren Tingting.
This beautiful, gentle, and understanding young lady, Ren Tingting, has already entered his heart and left a deep impression on him.
It begins with appearance, is admired for talent, resonates with personality, lasts because of kindness, and is ultimately judged by character.
"I want to marry her!"
This was a thought that suddenly lingered in Xiao Ning's mind.
Although it was sudden, it wasn't abrupt.
"Really? Brother Xiao, I...I'm so happy!"
Ren Tingting was so surprised she almost cried out; her words were filled with disbelief.
“That’s right. I plan to choose an auspicious day and ask a matchmaker to come to my uncle’s house to propose marriage and marry his precious daughter!”
Meeting Ren Tingting's expectant gaze, Xiao Ning nodded, then said wistfully, "I wonder if he'll agree! I wonder if he'll kick me out with a broom!"
"He dares?"
Ren Tingting blurted it out, then immediately felt shy and lowered her head.
"Haha, it would be even better if it didn't!"
Xiao Ning smiled slightly and said, "Alright, we're here. Let's go down!"
In the blink of an eye, they covered dozens of miles, and on an unnamed mountain peak beneath their feet, they could see the shadows of a large group of people.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Ren Fa, Lin Fengjiao, and others.
With a thought, the auspicious cloud beneath his feet immediately stopped and fell to the ground.
…………
“Ninth Uncle, my late father’s grave is on the mountaintop. Look at the surrounding mountains and valleys, with shady trees. It’s clearly a place with excellent feng shui.”
"Yes, it is indeed good. The surrounding mountains form a dragon shape, and this mountain peak is the dragon's lair. The feng shui pattern of 'dragonfly skimming the water' is not a coincidence that it appears here."
Ren Fa was a wealthy man; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the richest man in Renjia Town, as evidenced by the fact that the town was named after the Ren family.
When wealthy people go up the mountain, they don't walk like ordinary people. Instead, they hire a dozen or so porters to carry them up the mountain in sedan chairs.
This was the first time Lin Fengjiao had experienced such a decadent, bourgeois lifestyle. Today, he was dressed in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe and wore a black and yellow Bagua crown, exuding a powerful aura. Even though he was not used to being carried in a sedan chair, he pretended to be calm and occasionally exchanged a few words with Ren Fa.
The two young men, Qiusheng and Wencai, were in a better mood. Sitting on the bamboo chairs, they looked around like young women getting on their wedding day.
The Ren family was a prominent clan in the area, and many people were related to Old Master Ren. Exhuming the coffin and relocating the grave was a major event. In addition, Old Master Ren was the richest man in Renjia Town, so young men with the same surname all came to help with the relocation.
Along with the servants of the Ren family, a large group of people marched up the mountain.
After walking for nearly half an hour, they finally reached the summit. Ren Fa's expression was slightly grim. Seeing this, the security captain, Awei, came over and asked, "Uncle, where's Cousin Tingting? Why haven't we seen her on such an important day?"
Since he wet his pants in the street and embarrassed himself, Awei has never seen Ren Tingting again, nor has he ever been to the Ren family home. He feels he can't bear to lose face like that.
Today is the big day for Old Master Ren's grave to be moved, and of course he dares not miss it. You know, he was able to get the position of security captain thanks to Ren Fa.
Otherwise, who does Awei think he is?
Fortunately, he was self-aware enough to know that he had to curry favor with his cousin-in-law, Ren Fa. Now that they were out of town, with so many people and so much gossip, Awei had no choice but to personally go up the mountain to protect Ren Fa's safety.
After all, the world was not peaceful, and bandits and robbers were everywhere.
In order to see his beloved cousin and to change his terrible appearance from that day when he wet his pants, Awei specially changed into a suit jacket and wore shiny leather shoes.
To my surprise, my cousin wasn't there!
Ren Fa was already feeling uncomfortable, but Awei had no sense at all. Not only did he come closer, but he also brought up the very thing that was most bothering him.
It's like trying to find a shit (die) by lighting a lamp in an outhouse!
Ren Fa glared at Awei and was about to yell at him when he suddenly heard a commotion and even gasps of surprise from the crowd around him.
"Look at the sky! A white cloud has fallen down!"
"That's not a cloud, it's clearly someone standing on it!"
