Chapter 219 - 180: In Dao Ye's own dream, can you still bully me? 3
“Master Xu, what brings you here?”
The moment Yang Fan’s uncle saw Xu Yang, he immediately dropped the foreman and rushed over.
Xu Yang asked, “Mr. Yang, you’re planning to rebuild your country resort, right? What did the foreman say? How long will it take to finish?”
Mr. Yang wryly smiled, “I’ve contacted several people already, and their quotes are all quite high… And they say it won’t be finished within two months.”
Xu Yang got straight to the point, “I’m getting married four days from now, and I plan to invite guests over here ”
“What?”
Mr. Yang, with a shocked expression, pointed around and said, “Master Xu, don’t kid around… Look at the mess here, only the kitchen is usable now. You’re not thinking of hosting a banquet and entertaining guests are you? We can’t even finish excavating the foundation in three or four days!”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry about that… You provide a plan on how you want it designed, then give your workers a few days off and let them go home first. I’ll handle the manpower and strive to finish within three days!” “Thr… three days?”
Mr. Yang, with a shocked look on his face, said, “Master Xu, I have to build twelve rooms in total, large ones since they’ll be used to accommodate guests… How can three days be enough?”
“Just give me the design plans, and leave the rest to me.”
After talking to Mr. Yang, Xu Yang called Yue Qiluo. She quickly arrived, and was stunnedwhen she found out Xu Yang wanted her to summon her underworld soldiers to help in construction.
“Do those underworld soldiers know how to build?”, she asked.
“A few who do will suffice! The rest can assist… Amongst so many, there should be some who were bricklayers in their former lives. If not, you can announce that you’re hiring craftsmen from the Ghost Market. Paying them with burned money as wages, there’s definitely going to be willing ghosts clamoring for the job!”
“Alright!”
Yue Qiluo had a strong sense of execution, and by the afternoon, she managed to contact eighteen craftsmen!
These eighteen craftsmen comprised of some from ancient times and contemporary times. One even claimed he was an engineer in his previous life who had participated in the renovation of the Forbidden City.
Xu Yang gave Mr. Yang’s design to the engineer. After reviewing it, the engineer sneered and exclaimed, “Who the hell designed these plans? A country resort is still an entertainment club in the countryside. It should have a traditional exterior with a rural charm. Why the mud-brick walls and stone flooring? Do they want customers staining their clothes?”
That engineer immediately began redesigning afresh, he claimed he’d once been to the “Tianshang Renjian” in Kyoto City. He thought the clubhouse was amazing, saying it felt like a trip back home.
“Tianshang Renjian?”
Xu Yang remarked, “I think I’ve heard of it, but it was shut down a few years ago due to illicit activities…”
He called Mr. Yang to review the new design. To everyone’s surprise, Mr. Yang recognized the engineer and exclaimed, “Are you Professor Yang? You once lectured at Northwest Ethnic University. I majored in civil engineering in college and have attended your classes… Weren’t you reported dead?”
When Mr. Yang discovered the engineer was a ghost, he almost fainted from fright. Xu Yang reassured him, “Don’t be afraid, Mr. Yang… Just a few ghosts, nothing to fear… And they’re all friendly ghosts, they won’t harm people. What do you think of this design?”
After recovering, Mr. Yang quickly nodded, “Professor Yang is one of the masters of contemporary garden designing in our Da Xia. Having him designing my country resort is something I could only dream of.”
“That’s settled then!”
Xu Yang told, “Big sister, call your ghost minions!”
Yue Qiluo immediately began the ritual, summoning hundreds of spirits in no time. The sky quickly darkened, blocking the sunlight, and ghosts began streaming out all over the Long Flow River scenic area. Under the direction of the eighteen craftsmen, they started working.
After all…
It was the peak of summer, with scorching sun overhead. Some of the ghosts were so weak that they truly couldn’t work under the sun.
Mr. Yang watched stupefied, as his world, built over forty-odd years, was crashing down amidst the supernatural activity. His reverence for Xu Yang grew even more.
For the next two days, Xu Yang was incredibly busy!
Decorations had to be arranged at the Yue Mansion, wedding supplies purchased, and the house cleaned and decorated…
Thankfully, the villa had plenty of rooms, and there was more than enough space to prepare separate rooms for Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, Yang Yin and the Yue sisters.
On the evening of July 24th.
Xu Yang began to think about whom to invite.
He pondered for a long while… only to find that he apparently did’t have any relatives!
As for friends… Ma Long was one; Yang Fan’s classmates needed to be notified too. Their attendance would be up to them, but at least he wouldn’t be accused of leaving them out.
Feng Zhaoqing, Wang Lin, and Bai Wei of the Spirits Management Bureau had to be invited as well.
Lastly, Officer Wang.
Xu Yang took out his phone and started drafting the message.
“Invitation.”
“To all dear friends and relatives, we extend our highest respects.”
“We are excited to announce that our wedding is scheduled for Saturday (Lunar June 8th), July 26th, 2023. On this auspicious day, we sincerely invite you and your family to celebrate with us.”
“Address…”
After selecting all the recipients, Xu Yang sent out the invitation.
In no time, he received various responses. Grandmaster Chengming even sent a voice message, laughing, “Such impeccable timing, youngster. Just as Wang Hou is making breakthroughs and consolidating his cultivation, your wedding date has been set.”
