Chapter 1265: Let's Have a Chat

~7 min read 1,261 words

"Hello, Uncle Chen." Li Yan glanced at Chen Yu: "Chen Yu, please sit. What would you like to drink? My treat."

"No need, let's just chat. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you." Chen Yu smiled slightly; young girls these days were quite formidable.

Their understanding of worldly wisdom was even better than that of adults. Looking at Li Yan, she was not a simple character either.

"Alright then, I'll be direct." Li Yan smiled and said: "I heard you want to find a job for my dad? With an official establishment?"

"Strictly speaking, yes, it's just that this establishment cannot be found in the archives," Chen Yu said.

"Why can't it be found in the archives?" Li Yan said: "Every establishment has records, right?"

"It's not that it can't be found, it's a matter of clearance," Chen Yu said: "For example, if you wanted to check the establishment of the Mayor of Modu, would the Public Security Bureau pull the records for you?"

"..." Li Yan paused; what Chen Yu said seemed to make sense.

She then smiled and said: "That's true, but Uncle Chen, can you tell me what this is for? Why is it so mysterious?"

"Just doing what your dad is good at," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Your dad should have told you about these things, right?"

"What my dad is good at?" Li Yan burst out laughing: "The thing my dad is best at is slaughtering cattle; he's been doing it for decades. Don't tell me you want to send him to a slaughterhouse? Modern slaughterhouses are all assembly-line models; they don't need people."

"Besides, even if they did need people, since when is a cattle slaughterer so impressive that he can have an official establishment?"

Li Yan's words were very sharp. Li Daniu, who was to the side, hurriedly stopped her: "Little girl, how are you talking to your Uncle Chen? Apologize quickly!"

"Dad, Uncle Chen isn't that petty, right?" Li Yan giggled.

"Brother, my daughter has been spoiled by me; please don't mind her," Li Daniu said with an embarrassed expression.

"It's fine," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Of course, a cattle slaughterer doesn't have an establishment, but what your dad is good at is more than just slaughtering cattle. He is proficient in all those things passed down in your family."

"Those things passed down in the family?" Li Yan was slightly stunned: "You mean those books on Feng Shui and such that my grandfather passed down?"

"That's right, those are the things. You should know what those things are, right?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"I've heard of them. Dad, you said my grandfather used to be a master who helped people look at Feng Shui, tell fortunes, protect houses, and even exorcise ghosts and perform rituals?" Li Yan turned her head to look at Li Daniu.

"Yes, your grandfather used to do that; it was passed down from the founding masters," Li Daniu nodded: "Didn't I tell you?"

"I've said it before, that's feudal superstition," Li Yan said speechlessly: "It's the 21st century now, why do you still believe in those things? Didn't the things my grandfather passed down get smashed during the Four Olds campaign?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? This is a heritage. Founding masters, please don't take offense, don't take offense." Li Daniu glared at her, then hurriedly pressed his palms together and muttered something under his breath.

"Enough, Dad, do you really believe in these things? My grandfather has been gone for decades," Li Yan rolled her eyes.

"You girl, don't be disrespectful to your grandfather," Li Daniu hurriedly covered her mouth.

Then he said with some embarrassment: "Brother, please don't take offense. Young people today have no filter; they are young and don't believe in these things."

"It's fine, I understand," Chen Yu smiled and said: "The younger generation are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers. How about this, I'll take her to see those things tonight?"

"See them?" Li Daniu was startled: "Don't, Brother, what if she gets scared?"

"She isn't as fragile as you think. A tiger father has no dog daughter; perhaps after she sees them, she will accept your heritage," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Dad, see what things?" Li Yan asked curiously upon hearing this.

"What things could you see? Of course, seeing ghosts," Li Daniu glared at her.

"Can you really see them? You often told me about these things when I was little, but I've never seen them. I want to see for myself," Li Yan suddenly became excited.

Although she didn't believe it, she was very interested in these things.

As soon as Chen Yu said she could see them, she became excited.

"Are you sure?" Li Daniu looked at her excited appearance and really couldn't bear to discourage her: "These things are not as simple as you think."

"If you see them, you might have some special abilities in the future. The children of our Li family all possess this ability."

"What ability?" Li Yan was stunned.

"Opening the Heavenly Eye. The mysterious arts passed down by our ancestors grant us these abilities, which are in our bloodline. Once you see that thing, it is equivalent to opening the Heavenly Eye and awakening your bloodline," Li Daniu said seriously.

"Hahaha, Dad, have you been reading too many novels?" Seeing Li Daniu's serious appearance, the girl burst out laughing: "Do I have a bloodline awakening too?"

"I'm telling the truth. If you really want to see this thing, you have to learn from me; otherwise, you won't be able to handle it in the future," Li Daniu was anxious; he was not joking.

"Your dad is right. If you want to see it, you will open your Heavenly Eye, and from then on, you will be able to see things that others cannot," Chen Yu said seriously: "So you must learn from him and accept what your ancestors passed down."

"Alright then, as long as what you say is true, if I can really see those things, then I will accept those things of my dad's," Li Yan said seriously.

"Really?" Li Daniu was slightly stunned. In the past, when he tried to instill these things into her, she didn't believe them at all.

If she really accepted these things, his heritage would not be broken, and he would be able to face his ancestors.

"Of course it's true. I keep my word, and if these things are true and you really have these abilities, I will agree to you going to that Five Elements Pavilion," Li Yan said solemnly.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, take her to see it tonight," Li Daniu nodded.

"Good, we will take her to see it at midnight," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Teacher Chen, you're here? See what? Can we go?" The cafe door opened, and Zhou Meng and Zhou Bin entered. Seeing Chen Yu, Zhou Bin ran over excitedly.

"Seeing ghosts, do you want to go?" Chen Yu said cheerfully.

"I want to go, I want to go, I want to see it," Zhou Meng nodded seriously.

Now in Zhou Meng's eyes, Chen Yu was an omnipotent god; she believed that Chen Yu could take her to see many things.

"Alright then, wait a moment, I'll call a senior student. He is a firm materialist and always has a sour face. If he can see this thing, I want to drag him along to see it," Li Yan picked up her phone and started calling people.
