Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

"What?!" Chu Sheng pointed to his nose, looking completely bewildered.

"Indeed," Ren Fa nodded and said, "Young man, your swordplay earlier truly opened my eyes."

"So... I'd like to ask you to take care of my precious daughter."

Chu Sheng raised his eyebrows and hesitated for a moment.

If he remembers correctly, Ren Fa's daughter, Ren Tingting, is very willful.

She throws tantrums at the drop of a hat.

Go get her a bodyguard yourself…

Ren Fa seemed to sense Chu Sheng's hesitation and quickly smiled apologetically:

"It's just picking up a train."

"Would Master Chu really refuse to give me face?"

Chu Sheng didn't reply, but looked at Lin Fengjiao: "Uncle-Master, is it alright?"

Lin Fengjiao nodded: "I will set up the formation tomorrow during the day."

"Just go and bring Miss Ren back safely."

Ren Fa quickly replied, "Yes, yes, thank you for your trouble, Daoist Chu."

Chu Sheng stared at Ren Fa's slightly obsequious manner, feeling that something was amiss.

But I can't quite put my finger on it.

"Hehe, junior brother, it must be because Master Ren saw that you are handsome and know magic."

"I want to recruit you as a son-in-law who will live with my family."

Yu Chuda also noticed Ren Fa's odd behavior and teased him in a low voice.

"A live-in son-in-law?" Chu Sheng snorted twice. Although he wasn't exactly rich now.

But at least there were a few small yellow croakers in the bag, enough to live on.

In this era, marrying eight virgins would be more than enough.

Becoming a live-in son-in-law? Forget it.

Immediately, he said:

"Since Master Ren has invited me, I naturally cannot refuse."

"but…"

"The bodyguard's salary is calculated separately."

Ren Fa laughed heartily and immediately ordered the butler to bring ten silver dollars:

"Here, this money is for you."

"My precious daughter won't let things rest once she gets back."

"Please be understanding, Master Chu, regarding what she intends to do."

This time, Chu Sheng did not hesitate and accepted the ten silver dollars, agreeing to the employment.

Subsequently, everyone followed Lin Fengjiao's instructions.

They each chose a room from the former residence's dormitory to stay in.

……

Back in his room, Chu Sheng was about to go to sleep when Itachi jumped onto the bed.

It squeaked twice.

"You said you smelled a zombie on Master Ren?"

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Chu Sheng's face flashed with doubt:

"Could it be something Old Master Ren left behind during today's grave relocation?"

Itachi shook his little head and squeaked twice, indicating that he didn't know.

"Never mind, let's go to sleep first."

"I still need to pick up that young lady tomorrow."

Chu Sheng covered himself with the blanket and pondered for a while, but he didn't have any particular thoughts and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Chu Sheng was pulled out of bed by Master Simu.

"You brat, still sleeping! Have you forgotten your duties, Master Ren?"

Master Four Eyes looked energetic and showed no signs of having drunk half the night before.

"Go pick up his daughter! She's our big spender; if we treat her well, she'll get a hefty reward!"

Chu Sheng rubbed his eyes, looking completely bewildered: "Uncle-Master, so early? Is it really necessary?"

"Good thing you're here soon! That old devil, Master Ren, has become intelligent. If he senses something's wrong, come back immediately!"

Master Four Eyes leaned closer to Chu Sheng and lowered his voice: "Safety first, understand?"

Chu Sheng immediately understood what Master Four Eyes meant.

He was worried about himself, so he joked:

"If Uncle-Master is worried about his disciple, why not come with me?"

Master Four Eyes shook his head. "That won't do. I need to catch up on my sleep."

As he spoke, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his small eyes:

"I heard that the Ren family's daughter dresses so fashionably, she looks just like a foreigner... You're in for a treat!"

Chu Sheng was both amused and exasperated, and said proudly:

"Uncle-Master, I'm not bragging, I've seen all the most fashionable things."

"Of course we must do our important work!" Master Four Eyes declared righteously, "And we must do it well and properly, so as not to disgrace the Maoshan Sect!"

"Don't disgrace the Maoshan Sect!"

Chu Sheng patted his chest and assured him:

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Master Four Eyes joked, "We must do it in a way that satisfies Miss Ren."

Chu Sheng agreed.

After a quick wash, I packed a small bag and headed out the door.

However, Ren Fa was quite considerate, worried that Chu Sheng might not be able to find his way.

They specially assigned a servant named A-Gui to accompany them.

"Master Chu, the young lady is taking the early train, and she should arrive at the station around 7:45 AM."

Ah Gui was a clever young man; he explained things while driving the car.

"Miss has a very good temper, it's just... just a bit too Westernized, please bear with her."

Sitting in the carriage, Chu Sheng joked, "I hope your Miss Ren doesn't go overboard with her 'Westernization'."

Ah Gui didn't dare to say anything recklessly, and just chuckled.

About half an hour later, we arrived at the train station.

Inside the station, vendors carrying loads on shoulder poles, passengers with suitcases, and laborers shouting their wares...

Chu Sheng asked A Gui to park the car outside the station, straightened his long robe, and held up a sign with the words "Ren Tingting" written on it in front of his chest.

At three quarters past Chen hour, the steam whistle sounded for a long time.

A dark green train, puffing out white smoke, slowly pulled into the station, and passengers carrying large and small bags poured out.

Chu Sheng's eyes widened as he searched for a potential target in the crowd.

Just then, he heard a clear, foreign-accented female voice:

"Excuse me, please move aside... watch your step!"

Chu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw the edge of the crowd.

A girl wearing a pale yellow dress and a wide-brimmed hat of the same color.

She was dragging a leather suitcase that was almost half her height, struggling to move it out.

The girl got off the train, lifted her hat to wipe away non-existent sweat, revealing a bright and beautiful face.

Her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were large and bright.

She had a straight, upturned nose and healthy, rosy lips.

Her skin was an unusual ivory white.

Against the backdrop of her pale yellow dress, she looked even more dazzling.

The most deadly thing was that tailored, fitted dress.

The neckline was slightly low, revealing a slender, fair neck and delicate collarbone, showcasing her graceful figure.

Beneath the skirt, a pair of straight and shapely legs clad in white stockings were visible.

Judging solely by her appearance, he was surprised to find that this woman was no less attractive than Dai Ran and Zhou Li, and he jokingly thought to himself:

"This dress... has a unique charm."

It seems that Chu Sheng discovered the other party at that moment.

The girl also noticed him and the name in front of him. Her eyes lit up, and she dragged her large suitcase over with a clattering sound. With a bright smile and a slightly soft, sweet voice, she asked:

"Did my dad send you to pick me up?"

Chu Sheng smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and replied:

"If you are indeed Miss Ren, then I am the bodyguard sent by Mr. Ren to protect you!"

"Pfft..." Ren Tingting laughed, "Foreign bodyguards all wear Western-style clothes, but you're wearing a long gown, so unfashionable!"

Got it!

Another girl who idolizes foreign things.

Chu Sheng shook his jacket and said:

"Foreign things may look nice, but they restrict the body. It's more comfortable to wear our own things."
