Chapter 70: Moving Graves? Are Both the Masters Crazy?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The morning sun shone into the dim room.

“Ding ding ding…”

Li Yidao was awakened by a series of knocking sounds.

“Who is it? Can’t a person have some peace early in the morning!”

“Li Yinuo, go and see who’s at the door!”

However…

After he finished shouting, he froze for a moment.

He forgot.

Li Yinuo had already left.

Staying dazed for a while, he slowly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and by the time he reached the door, three minutes had passed.

The knocking sound didn’t come again.

Clearly, the person who came to see him had some manners.

He opened the door, and a slightly older man than Li Yidao stood there.

“Hello, are you Mr. Li Yidao?”

Li Yidao frowned slightly and nodded gently.

“Yes, that’s me. And you?”

“Hello, Mr. Li, I am Huangpu Shengyun. My father spoke with you on the phone yesterday. We need Master Li’s help to choose a new location for our family’s ancestral grave.”

“Oh.” Li Yidao suddenly realized the situation.

Huangpu, a surname not commonly seen, and the person who spoke with him on the phone yesterday had the surname Huangpu.

“So early?”

Glancing at the time, it was a little past five in the morning.

This time was too early.

“Well, Mr. Li, our family is quite far from here, and it will take about two hours to rush over.”

“To ensure that we can finish choosing the site by the morning…”

Huangpu Shengyun had a smiling expression, and his words were concise.

“I see. Wait for me for ten minutes.’

After saying that, Li Yidao turned and returned to his store to freshen up.

As for freshening up, men’s speed could always be something to boast about.

Ten minutes later, Li Yidao got into the other party’s luxury car.

Hmm, he seemed to have seen the brand before, a very expensive kind.

Moreover, the two people accompanying the other party were obviously bodyguards.

Who would have thought the other party turned out to be a wealthy businessman?

Now Li Yidao was curious about how much his father had charged the other party back then.

The car drove out of the city all the way, heading towards a suburb outside the city.

No wonder the other party said it would take about two hours.

It turned out to be far from the urban area.

Soon, the area where the car passed by was already desolate.

This was truly the outskirts.

Only a few scattered villages remained.

The social structure of this world was even more pessimistic than the world Li

Yidao came from.

All the peripheral villages were in a state of population decline.

They had to merge the villages bit by bit.

Ten villages became five, five became two, and finally, there might be only one left.

Yet, this still couldn’t stop the population drains from these small towns to the big cities.

The yearning for big cities was about the comprehensive facilities and healthcare…

It made the young people of this era silently strive and struggle.

They wanted a chance to stand firm in that distant place, that so-called metropolis and to buy a place of their own.

Soon, more than an hour passed.

The business car stopped on a small road.

“Mr. Li, we can’t drive the car further. We need to walk up, and it might take some time,” said Huangpu Shengyun as he got out of the car, and Li Yidao followed suit.

Looking at the steep mountain road ahead, Li Yidao’s heart remained calm.

He wasn’t spoiled. Walking on a mountain road was no problem for him.

“Alright, lead the way.”

This sentence truly carried the air of a master!

And so, they proceeded on their way, walking for over twenty minutes before reaching a flat area.

The entire mountain environment was particularly desolate, but amid the desolation, there were traces of human presence, indicated by the smoke rising in the distance.

Li Yidao gazed at the far-off direction and indeed spotted a small village, with the smoke rising gently like mist.

“Grandpa, why did you come here? Didn’t I tell you to wait at the ancestral home?”

Huangpu Shengyun rushed forward to support the old man who approached from the front.

The elderly man, upon seeing Li Yidao, looked somewhat dazed.

“So similar… too similar…” The old man’s voice was tinged with emotion.

Li Yidao also looked at the old man and frowned.

This old man wouldn’t live long.

[Ding! Detected a super high-quality customer, ID: Huangpu Qi]

[Death Status Detection: Lifespan exhausted! Death probability 100%]

[It is advised that the host should immediately follow the super high-quality customer.]

The old man’s lifespan was coming to an end, but something felt off.

“Li Yidao, right? Haha, you look so much like your father,” the old man said, “In fact, I can be considered a friend of your father’s. If you don’t mind, you can call me Uncle Huangpu.”

Clearly, the old man was placing himself on the same generation level as Li Yidao’s father. So Li Yidao was supposed to call him “Uncle”.

“Uncle Huangpu,” Li Yidao replied, showing respect for the elderly man’s sincerity.

“Haha, good. Let’s get to the main business.”

“Sure,” Li Yidao nodded.

He wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible so he could go back.

After walking up the last section of the mountain slope, Li Yidao started feeling uncomfortable in this area.

His sole thought now was to leave as quickly as possible.

If it weren’t for certain reasons, Li Yidao might have turned around and left already.

Having been in this industry for so many years, combined with his past special profession, he was quite sensitive to certain things.

“Your father didn’t want me to place the ancestral grave in this location.” “He said this place could only be used for thirty years and must be relocated after that.

“Moreover… during the relocation, there might be some problems.”

“Originally, if he were still here, he would have prepared for these issues, and it shouldn’t have been a big problem.”

“But unexpectedly… sigh, life is unpredictable…”

As they walked, Huangpu Qi seemed to be narrating to himself, not sure if he was speaking for Li Yidao to hear or lost in his own memories.

Li Yidao remained silent, accompanying Huangpu Qi and moving forward.

“In fact, I didn’t want to bother you. I remember you were so cute when I first saw you as a child. I didn’t expect you to grow up so fast,” Huangpu Qi said, his eyes carrying a hint of indulgence that could not be faked.

Frankly, this moment left Li Yidao in a daze. He even felt a true sense of meeting a true mentor.

“But… sigh, there’s nothing we can do… in the end, I had no choice but to come to you. I hope you can resolve it.”

The sudden change in tone made Li Yidao furrow his brow.

It seemed that things might not be as simple as they appeared.

According to Huangpu Qi’s expression, there seemed to be some issues with this grave relocation.

After some thought, Li Yidao asked, “Uncle Huangpu, is there a problem now?”

Huangpu Qi paused for a moment and then sighed, shaking his head without saying a word, continuing to move forward.

This action made Li Yidao feel even more bewildered.

At this moment, Huangpu Shengyun spoke up, “Mr. Li, to be honest, before inviting you, Grandpa had already invited two other masters to come.”

“But…” As Huangpu Shengyun spoke, he seemed hesitant, subconsciously glancing at his grandfather.

Huangpu Qi didn’t turn around but said, “Tell him. He should know, and whether to proceed or not should be his decision.”

Huangpu Shengyun nodded at his grandfather’s words.

“The two people Grandpa paid a hefty price to invite are both renowned masters. However… unexpectedly, after they came and looked at the ancestral grave, they both went insane in the end.”

“One of them even committed suicide by jumping off a building…”

“Buzz!”

In an instant, Li Yidao’s pupils dilated.

His mind was completely shocked by this news.

A chill rushed over him!

No wonder!

No wonder he felt uneasy the moment he stepped into this area!

Indeed!

The situation here was not simple at all!
