Chapter 546: Chapter 546

Yang Fan was indeed uninformed.

He had heard of summoning the soul, but he had no idea what the scene actually looked like.

"Not having seen it doesn’t matter. Although it’s a small ritual, the props required are quite complex. You can try it yourself when the time comes, and if you can’t manage it, give me a call, and I’ll teach you how to do it," Mr. Fan said with a laugh.

"Actually, any Yin Yang Master with a bit of skill knows this step. They’ll definitely do it before sending off the deceased. But it’s fine for you to do it again later, for peace of mind. Or you could first learn the Divination techniques from the book, combined with the Heavenly Eye Technique, you’ll be able to tell whether or not your car really has a problem just by looking," Mr. Fan added.

Yang Fan grinned and said, "The latter method sounds like it’s simpler."

"I suggest you do both. Don’t look for shortcuts when learning. This is for your own good. If you take the easy way, you’re basically digging your own grave. I can still teach you now, but in the future, if my old life is gone and you’ve learned it half-baked, then when you go out to work, you’ll be cheating others as well as yourself," Mr. Fan spoke seriously.

Yang Fan put away his playful smile and said earnestly, "Mr. Fan, you clearly have the constitution to live a long and healthy life. Don’t underestimate yourself. I will learn both."

"Are you complimenting me or cursing me?" Mr. Fan frowned and asked.

Yang Fan was taken aback, "You’re not already in your nineties, are you?"

If he was that age, then wishing him a long life might indeed sound like an insult.

"Not yet, but I’m supposed to live past a hundred. I can’t speak too plainly, but you get my meaning, right? Aren’t you cursing me?" Mr. Fan said half-joking, half-serious.

Yang Fan:...

Dammit, that ass-kissing really backfired.

It looked like the old man had a clear understanding of his own lifespan, probably already quite confident about it.

People expected to live to a hundred and twenty or thirty, and here he was complimenting them on living a mere century... It was indeed very inappropriate.

He’d have to be more careful in the future when dealing with these cunning old men - he should flatter them with a lifespan of two hundred.

Double it and there should be no problem.

"Mr. Fan, give me another chance," Yang Fan gestured dramatically downward with his palm, "You must live to two hundred. One hundred and twenty or thirty is definitely an underestimation by you, a full two hundred, for sure. Even King Yan would have to give face to my words."

"Enough with the nonsense," Mr. Fan laughed and scolded, "Are you really that short on cash? Why would you think of buying a second-hand car that had been in a major accident? You’re just asking for trouble."

"I most definitely am short on cash, as poor as can be," Yang Fan replied, "Actually, the overall condition of the car is quite good despite the accident. Because of its condition and the lower price, it caught my eye."

"Anyway, a car for me is just a tool. I’m not after luxury or fancy ones, so naturally, the more economical, the better."

Mr. Fan nodded slightly, showing he understood Yang Fan’s considerations, and then added, "However, the second-hand car market is quite murky. Don’t let the search for a bargain cause you major trouble. You’ve already bought it, haven’t you?"

"I have, and all that’s left is the transfer of ownership," Yang Fan said.

After sipping his tea, Mr. Fan pondered for a moment and then suddenly said, "In that case, have someone else take another look to ensure the car has no issues. After all, it’s something you’ll be driving on the road, and you have to be responsible for your own safety."

Yang Fan nodded in agreement, but he was a bit surprised in his heart.

Why had Mr. Fan suddenly taken such an interest in his car purchase?

Mr. Fan continued, "If there’s something wrong with the car, just return it. My eldest granddaughter happens to have a pickup truck. I’ll have a word with her, and you can use it for now. When you’ve saved enough to buy a new car, you can give it back to her."

Yang Fan looked at Mr. Fan with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

It seems like the old man is hinting at something, why did he make a point to emphasize his "elder granddaughter"?

Moreover, he pronounced those two words with particular heaviness.

"Mr. Fan, there’s no need to go through all that trouble, it’s difficult to borrow a car," Yang Fan said, waving his hand to decline Mr. Fan’s offer.

Mr. Fan suddenly stiffened his cheeks, "What’s so difficult about it? My granddaughter has always listened to me; we have a very good relationship. If I say so, she will surely lend it."

"That... Let’s wait and see then, I’ll first have someone check the car," Yang Fan replied.

Of course, that was just an excuse.

He could just tell Mr. Fan later that the car was fine and there was no need to borrow.

Mr. Fan laughed and nodded enthusiastically, "Don’t be shy; there’s nothing to be shy about."

"By the way, you’ve met my elder granddaughter, what do you think of her?"

Yang Fan couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration. It seemed the old man really did have this in mind.

Introducing one of his girlfriends to him; isn’t that just perfect.

"I think... she’s very beautiful," Yang Fan struggled to keep his smile under control as he spoke.

Mr. Fan chuckled and asked again, "And what about her personality and character?"

"Very good, generous and gentle, truly a lady from a respectable family," Yang Fan said emphatically.

Joking aside, there was a very good chance that this would reach Fan Sisi’s ears.

He absolutely had to sing her praises!

"She’s opened a Delong Wanshu Sichuan Restaurant in the Herb Market. You should go there more often, catch up over a meal with friends. You might get some discounts," Mr. Fan said with a smile.

Yang Fan replied with a bit of difficulty, "Mr. Fan, although I’ve met your granddaughter many times, we aren’t close. She probably wouldn’t give me a discount for no reason. No, that’s not what I mean — whether there’s a discount or not doesn’t matter, I will visit often."

"Just tell her you’re my half-disciple, she will definitely give you a discount," Mr. Fan said.

"If you can’t get a discount, why bother going there when you could eat anywhere else?"

Yang Fan said with a nod and a smile, "So I should take advantage of your esteemed name to get a free meal?"

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Fan glared slightly, "My granddaughter is already in her thirties and still single; this is worrying me. You should get to know her better. You know what I mean, right?"

"In fact, according to reason, her destined one should have appeared some time ago. She has been in that sort of relationship with that person, but until now, nothing has happened, which makes me somewhat confused."

"I’m just making the introduction; whether it works out is up to you two. As for this destiny business, don’t take it to heart. I’m beginning to think I might have miscalculated. After you two get acquainted, I’ll give it another push."

Yang Fan was profoundly shaken by these words. Mr. Fan’s tactics were a bit forceful.

Chatting with the kind of old man who seemed to have cheat codes was truly hair-raising.

He needed to think of a way to stop the old man from doing this.

If he got involved with Fan Sisi and the old man suddenly revealed a destined partnership, things would get messed up.
