Chapter 407: Doctor: My Home Was Stolen
Qingyun Immortal Palace, in the reception courtyard responsible for entertaining guests.
Ye Li looked at the fairy in front of him who was wearing a green-gray cheongsam with long sleeves. Her long light blue hair was tied up with a hairpin. She had an extremely beautiful face and was a different type of fairy from his mother.
The person in front of him was familiar yet unfamiliar to Ye Li. However, in order to maintain his character, he still looked puzzled and said:
"I don't know why the immortal called me here. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
"I didn't expect you to be so reserved. This is the first time I've seen you like this. Xiao Li, there's no need to be reserved in front of me. After all, Yao Yao is still waiting for you outside. We can't let that child wait too long."
"Ah! You...you are Grandma Ping?"
Ye Li was really confused for a moment, but he adjusted himself quickly, regained his composure in an instant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ye Li originally thought that Grandma Ping would pretend not to know Yaoyao like the two people outside, leaving Yaoyao's little head puzzled. However, it was obvious on the surface that she didn't want to socialize much, so she gave up the conversation and left it to the adults next to her.
As a result, when Grandma Ping appeared, she brought herself here alone, and revealed her identity before they even talked a few words, which really made Ye Li confused.
Seeing Ye Li's fleeting confusion, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Grandma Ping's eyes. Ye Li's expression at that moment reminded her of the time when he just woke up and was in a daze.
Although the demon god does not need sleep, taking a rest occasionally can help relax the mind. Seeing the similar yet long-lost expression, Grandma Ping also smiled, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, saying:
"Don't be surprised, my posture this time is just like when I was young."
"I see. Grandma was really beautiful when she was young. She was indeed a fairy. But compared to my mother, she was only slightly inferior."
"Haha~, Xiao Li is really humorous. Then tell me, how can I, your grandma, be inferior to your mother? Could it be that your mother is an immortal whom I know but have forgotten?"
Grandma Ping spoke with a kind smile on her face, but there was a gleam of light in her eyes, as if she had seized some opportunity.
Ye Li noticed Grandma Ping's fleeting excitement, but he did not stop. After all, he had been broadcasting live except in special circumstances.
Now, peeking through the long river of time, Guizhong in the inner world is still watching the live broadcast. If he says something bad or turns off the live broadcast, he will definitely be scolded when he returns.
Ye Li was now full of desire to survive and did not spare his eloquence at all. He mainly boasted, but he did not exaggerate too much, so as to avoid Grandma Ping taking the opportunity to see the portrait or something to confirm that what he said was true.
After all, if the portraits or something were really taken out, his identity would be exposed, and his life of pretending to be an ordinary person would be over.
Not to mention asking all kinds of questions, some drunkard will definitely make fun of me about it, and may even find a chance to indirectly reveal my identity to acquaintances just to watch me suffer embarrassment.
After chatting for about half an hour, Ye Li was finally let go by Grandma Ping. Just as he stepped towards the courtyard gate, the door was opened. The two little guys, Qiqi and Yaoyao, poked their heads out from the crack in the door and looked at Ye Li who was reaching out to open the door.
"Brother Ye Li, how was your conversation with that immortal sister? Did you try to get a chance to climb up the ladder and become an immortal disciple?"
After hearing Yaoyao's words, Ye Li understood that it was Xingqiu who asked Yaoyao to take her away. After all, everyone witnessed him being taken away by Grandma Ping.
Moreover, Ye Li could clearly perceive at that time that there was an inexplicable weirdness in the eyes of True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang and True Lord Li Shui Die Shan.
Ye Li knew where their feeling came from, but there was no need for them to stare at him so blatantly.
Ye Li had no choice but to squat down silently. He reached out and rubbed Yaoyao's little head, then leaned close to her ear and said a few words. Then he stood up and left with a smile, feeling much happier.
Qiqi looked at Yaoyao beside her with a confused expression, and then looked towards the courtyard inside the door. Inside, there was the young Grandma Ping sitting in front of a stone table and coffee table. She felt an inexplicable sense of closeness in her heart, as if the other person was someone who had helped her.
Looking at the two little ones standing motionless outside the door, one confused and the other puzzled, Grandma Ping smiled, knowing that Ye Li had reported her identity, otherwise her little disciple would not have had such a shocked and stunned expression.
Arriving outside, Ye Li looked at Xing Qiu in the distance, playing with the spear he had taken from the martial arts arena. His smiling eyes made him stop what he was doing. He smiled awkwardly and could only bow and say:
"I suddenly remembered something that requires cooperation with Mr. Ye Li. I wonder if we can discuss it in detail."
Ye Li knew that Xingqiu was trying to change the subject, but Xingqiu would definitely make a lot of compromises when it came to the content of the cooperation he proposed. It could be considered as his way of apologizing after he realized that he had made a joke too big.
To apologize in this way, I can only say that he is worthy of being the second young master of the wealthy Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, who is able to bend and stretch.
……
The sunlight in the sky gradually set, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. Ye Li and his group were teleported out of the Qingyun Immortal Mansion by Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun. Before leaving, they also signed a contract to keep some of the content confidential to avoid causing unnecessary trouble when they returned.
After all, immortals rarely interact with mortals nowadays. If some people with ulterior motives find out about this, not to mention the people who are looking for immortals in Liyue Harbor, but also the other countries and ambitious people, it would be absolutely false to say that they have no malicious intentions.
For example, a certain doctor's slice is responsible for finding traces of immortals and obtaining their power for research. He runs around the Liyue Mountains all day long pretending to be seeking immortality, and now he has come to Chenyu Valley to look for it.
The ancients often said that one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. It is better for the secret of Qingyun Immortal Mansion to be kept unknown.
Although the current Rock King did not fake his death and retire, his deterrent power is still there, but there is always a risk if the news leaks out, so it is safest to be cautious.
Chenyu Valley, near Xuanlian Mountain.
In a tent somewhere in the woods, a doctor wearing a Liyue robe sat in front of a wooden table. His red eyes, not covered by a mask, looked at the book about Changsheng Zhenjun in front of him, and he kept turning the pages in his hands.
The doctor was watching with great interest, but things did not go as he wished. His subordinate, the debt collector with the evil eye of the fire element, also quietly withdrew from his invisible state, appeared beside him, half-knelt down and said:
"Reporting to the executive officer, the Qianyan Army has been very active recently between various cities and the mountains and rivers, as if they are guarding against something. Our actions have been greatly hindered, and the cooperation between the Seven Stars and Zhidong has been reduced by half. Sir, you are often monitored."
"Oh, you reacted so quickly. What a pity! All the factories I secretly arranged in Liyue have been demolished, and the technologies in them should have been taken away."
The doctor looked puzzled. Although he was surprised that the ruins guard factory he arranged was found, he was not too surprised. After all, Qixing was not there to do nothing.
"Mr. Executive, do we need to stay there for a long time to avoid the limelight? If we act rashly, I'm afraid the Seven Stars will not let us off."
"Act as usual. Don't make too much noise, and don't leave any loopholes. Our destination is very close to us."
"Yes, sir, I am resigning."
The debt collector disappeared, leaving the doctor alone with a barely perceptible smile in the candlelight.
"Interesting, they chose to act at this time. It seems that the spy I arranged was caught."
