A passerby in a horror movie
Chapter 53 Refusal to Matchmake
"One serving each of ham, salad, and coffee, and remember to add extra milk to the coffee."
Uncle Nine closed the menu and spoke to the waiter.
Although he couldn't read the menu, he had tried all of these dishes and they tasted pretty good.
Seeing that the chef had made his order, Wen Cai put down the menu and said to the waiter in a very generous manner:
"The same as my master's, I'll have one too."
Seeing that the two of them ordered food without even looking at the menu, Master Ren looked at the master and apprentice with slight surprise.
Uncle Nine clearly had experience with foreign cuisine, otherwise he wouldn't be so familiar with the names of the dishes.
However, he had dealt with Uncle Nine before, back when Uncle Nine was just a poor Taoist priest.
How come he's become so rich after all these years of not coming back?
However, Ren Fa didn't voice his true thoughts. Seeing that Li Haotian hadn't spoken yet, he asked:
"Xiao Tian, why didn't you order anything? Can't you read the menu?"
Mr. Ren couldn't help but have some doubts. Just now, Uncle Jiu said that Li Haotian had studied abroad, so he shouldn't be unable to understand English. Could it be that he was lying to him?
"Oh, no thanks. I haven't digested what I ate this morning, so I don't have much of an appetite right now. Okay, I'll have a coffee then."
Li Haotian shook his head. These so-called foreign dishes are indeed rare delicacies and high-end dining for Chinese people in this era.
But for Li Haotian, a modern man, that really held no appeal. And Li Haotian wasn't wrong; he indeed had no appetite.
However, not eating anything at all would be disrespectful to the other person. So Li Haotian casually ordered a coffee.
"Okay, do as you please."
"Tingting, I heard from Uncle Jiu that Young Master Li returned from studying abroad. Haven't you always longed to go abroad and wanted to learn English? You could ask Young Master Li for some advice."
As he spoke, Ren Fa looked at Li Haotian and said with a smile:
"Young Master Li, your martial uncle and I have important matters to discuss. Could you please take some people and Tingting outside for a stroll?"
Ren Fa smiled and looked at Li Haotian. As for Wen Cai, who was standing to the side, Ren Fa never mentioned him or paid him any attention.
"Young Master Li studied abroad. Which country? America? Or England?"
Upon hearing Ren Fa's words, Ren Tingting's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Haotian curiously and asked.
Although Ren Tingting pursues fashion, she has never been abroad.
My knowledge of foreign countries is limited to a few countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom; I only know the names of these countries and nothing else.
Knowing that Li Haotian had studied abroad, they immediately became interested.
Especially since Li Haotian is so handsome, Ren Tingting's feelings for him increased after taking a few more glances, and she wanted to get to know him better.
However, Li Haotian's next words poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, I'm not familiar with Renjia Town, and I have other things to do. Please let Senior Brother Wencai accompany Miss Ren around."
Li Haotian smiled and shook his head, telling the others the truth.
Ren Fa's expression wasn't well hidden, and not only Li Haotian, but also Uncle Jiu, who was standing next to him, saw through his intentions.
She simply saw that Li Haotian was a good catch, had her eye on him, and wanted Li Haotian to develop a relationship with her daughter.
Uncle Nine was naturally happy to bring the two together, so he did not stop them.
However, Li Haotian had no such intention.
He came to the world of Mr. Zombie for two reasons: to complete his mission and to improve his cultivation. He had no time for romance.
Besides, he's not a promiscuous person. If he's going to date, it's with someone who shares his values and interests, and there needs to be a basic level of security.
If he gets involved with Ren Tingting, even if they're not dating but just have some feelings for each other, it will be very unfriendly to both of them if he leaves.
So Li Haotian simply refused, killing this chance encounter on the beach.
Moreover, he had no romantic feelings for Ren Tingting, so his rejection was quite straightforward.
"Hmph, so what if you don't want to bring it? What's with the attitude?"
Seeing Li Haotian's straightforward rejection, Ren Tingting felt embarrassed and became angry, cursing inwardly.
"Dad, I'm not eating anymore, I'm leaving now."
Soon, Ren Tingting stood up from the table and walked out of the restaurant.
"Hey, Tingting."
Mr. Ren tried to call out to Ren Tingting, but she ignored him. So he could only smile awkwardly at Uncle Jiu and Li Haotian.
"My daughter has become a bit spoiled and willful because of my upbringing. Please don't take offense."
The matchmaking attempt failed, and instead angered his daughter, leaving Ren Fa somewhat embarrassed.
"Master, I'm going to check on Miss Ren."
When Wen Cai saw that Li Haotian wasn't leaving, he immediately jumped up from his seat, greeted Uncle Jiu, and ran out.
Wen Cai had already set his sights on Ren Tingting after seeing how beautiful she was.
However, with Li Haotian around, Wen Cai could only feel dejected, realizing he had no chance at all. After all, Li Haotian was such a good catch, and if he were Ren Tingting, he would definitely choose Li Haotian as well.
However, to his surprise, Li Haotian rejected Ren Fa's suggestion, and Wen Cai immediately felt that he was capable again.
He felt he definitely had a chance, so he quickly chased after him.
When Uncle Nine saw Wen Cai looking like a lecher, he couldn't help but cover his face and sigh.
Ren Tingting left, and Ren Fa no longer had the energy to dwell on these matters.
He then talked to Uncle Nine about the matter of moving the coffin and reburying the deceased. Li Haotian sat aside and listened, learning from Uncle Nine's methods.
Soon, the matter was settled, and Li Haotian followed Uncle Jiu out of the restaurant.
"Xiao Tian, Master Ren just asked you to accompany Miss Ren, why didn't you go?"
You two are both young people, and Miss Ren comes from the provincial capital and is very knowledgeable. You two will definitely have something in common.
You're a young man, you shouldn't just think about staying at home practicing asceticism all day; you should go out and explore more."
Uncle Nine spoke earnestly to Li Haotian.
Although he was Li Haotian's uncle-master, he was neither his master nor his parent. Therefore, he couldn't interfere too much in Li Haotian's marriage, and could only offer subtle reminders.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle-Master, but I really have no mind for this. Right now, I just want to cultivate and graduate as soon as possible. As for important matters in life, I'll think about them later. I'm still young, there's no rush."
Li Haotian shook his head and said to Uncle Jiu.
Falling in love in the mission world would do him no good.
Li Haotian wouldn't do such unnecessary things; focusing on learning the Dao and improving his strength was the most important thing.
Seeing that Li Haotian was completely unmoved by reason, Uncle Jiu had no choice but to give up.
Anyway, Li Haotian isn't his apprentice, so he doesn't need to interfere too much.
Besides, Li Haotian's family is wealthy and he is capable, so it should be very easy for him to find a wife.
