Chapter 72: After Modification: Chapter 50 【Chen Yan’s Troubles】

Chapter 50 [Chen Yan’s Troubles]

Chen Yan went to East City Antiques and Folk Street and found a folk woodwork shop. As soon as he walked in, a shop assistant greeted him.

"Hello, can I help you with anything?"

Chen Yan pondered for a moment, "Can you customize woodwork?"

"Of course, we have our own workshop and master craftsmen who hand carve objects. What would you like to customize?"

Chen Yan: "...a memorial tablet. Can you make one?"

The assistant wasn’t surprised—their business dealt with all kinds of custom wooden objects, including memorial tablets.

Seeing Chen Yan’s clear intent, the assistant’s smile became more genuine—this deal looked promising.

"Certainly, sir! We have several styles and sizes for you to choose from, along with various types of wood with different prices. You can pick accordingly."

After speaking, the assistant took out a tablet and opened a photo album for Chen Yan to choose from.

Chen Yan took it, swiped a few times, and picked a standard-looking design with mid-range wood.

After paying, while leaving his contact information, the assistant casually asked, "Are you preparing for an ancestral rite at home towards the end of the year? We also sell other ritual items..."

"No, it’s not for an ancestral rite."

"Hmm?"

"It’s for a wedding."

"..."

Chen Yan said this, then walked out immediately, leaving the assistant stunned.

·

Just past New Year’s, it wasn’t long until Spring Festival, and there were more tourists than usual on Antique Street.

Chen Yan wandered for a while, buying some incense sticks and candles.

He also found a bridal shop to inquire about custom Dragon Country traditional bridal attire.

The shop owner suggested that it would be best to bring the bride for measurements, or if inconvenient, they could send a tailor to their home—for an extra fee.

Chen Yan took the owner’s contact number, planning to discuss it with Young Lady Gu at home.

Before leaving, the owner tried to pitch wedding services, mentioning their shop could arrange everything from ceremony hosts to wedding cars, venue decoration, and photography... a full package!

Chen Yan declined and left immediately.

Wedding services?

This wedding is beyond your capacity!

If he dared tell the owner it’s for a ghost marriage.

The owner would probably think he’s mentally ill.

·

Leaving the bridal shop, Chen Yan stood on the street, feeling emotional.

Is this easy for me?

I’m only twenty-two!

I’ve never been married myself! My first time organizing a wedding was for my deceased father’s ghost marriage?

Who would believe that? Where’s the justice?!

"Boss, Elder Zi is here!"

Assistant Yan came in, announcing. President Fang rose slowly from his chair, "Let her in."

Soon, a woman in a purple cheongsam walked in, delicate handmade embroidery adorning her dress, high heels clicking, glasses perched on her nose.

Seeing Elder Zi enter, despite holding a grudge, President Fang couldn’t help but glance at her—man’s nature.

He had previously been very eager to ingratiate Elder Zi, partly because of her Tao practice... but also some male instincts.

While President Fang dared not act with a true mystical technique master, he still enjoyed the sight of the sophisticated beauty.

"President Fang, sorry for the inconvenience." Elder Zi smiled, shaking President Fang’s hand.

President Fang limped slightly, inviting her to the guest sofa.

After a brief exchange, while preparing tea, President Fang expertly handled the tea set on the table.

Elder Zi quietly took an item from her bag and pushed it towards President Fang.

President Fang squinted, feigning curiosity, "Elder Zi, what’s this?"

"I’m here to apologize." Elder Zi spoke kindly, "My sect was unfortunate to produce someone as unruly as Luo Qing, who acted disrespectfully towards you, doing many unseemly things. As his introducer, I bear part of the responsibility."

President Fang’s smile faded, observing Elder Zi calmly.

Elder Zi continued, "I only returned to Jinling Prefecture last night and interrogated him thoroughly. He’s been punished severely.

Now, he’s confined to self-reflection, and Luoyun House is closed for six months.

I know you’re still dissatisfied with the losses Luo Qing caused you. I brought compensation; you can check if it’s sufficient."

Elder Zi’s posture was humble, as she was sure she’d found the right person.

Someone either hired a thug against Luo Qing, or enlisted a mystical technique practitioner to deal with him. At least, one of these scenarios involved President Fang!

Because upon entering, Elder Zi saw that the office’s furniture, bookcase—all had been replaced!

Even the original wealth-attracting items, the golden toads, were gone.

Knowing President Fang for years, she realized he wasn’t the type to spend money recklessly unless justified.

Most importantly... originally, President Fang liked to show off cultured airs, yet now the incense burner was gone!

Moreover, when she asked Assistant Yan for this visit, his polite attitude lacked the previous eagerness to ingratiate.
