"What else do you want to say? I don't have time to play with you."”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to play with you?" Liu Xueyan said angrily.”
Ocean Fantasy said," If you're not teasing me, then why did you stop me and say that it wasn't you who called me? How would I know if you called me or not? And now you're calling me again. Will you call me or not?"”After being played, Haiqi wanted to anger her and see what she could do.
Liu Xueyan's eyes were filled with stars when she heard this. She shook her head and said angrily,""Are you going to die? Why do you keep saying that to me?”
" You don't understand what I'm saying," Hatch laughed." I don't understand what you're saying either, so there's nothing more to say between us."”After he finished speaking, he was about to leave when Liu Xueyan hurriedly said,""Wait!"
"I... I... To invite, uh... It's not me..."
" What do you want?" Hatch said impatiently." Hurry up and say it. What do you want?"”
Just as Liu Xue Yan was thinking about how to say it, an old man's voice suddenly sounded from afar,""Hatch, so you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time.”
Haiqi looked at the fat old man in front of him. He had a greasy face and a simple and honest face. He smiled and said,"I finally found you…Yes, Xueyan, you're here too, but you're not here.”
The two of them didn't understand what he was talking about, and neither did Hai Qi. However, Liu Xueyan said,""Elder Zhang, what are you doing here?”
Elder Zhang smiled." I'm here to see Haiqi. Enhaiqi, you may not have seen me before. My name is Zhang Wusheng. You can call me Zhang Wusheng or Grandpa Zhang."”
Hai Qi nodded and asked,"Grandpa Zhang, right? En, then why are you looking for me?”
Zhang Wusheng rubbed his hands, his face extremely comical. He smiled and said,"My granddaughter is too shy to tell you, so she could only let an old man like me come forward to reason with her. That's right…I invited you to my house for dinner tonight. It's all made by him.”
"Treat me to a meal?" Hatch pointed at his nose and asked,""Could there be a mistake? What is your granddaughter's name? Have I met her before?”
Zhang Wusheng smiled and said," My granddaughter is called Zhang Ling. You two have never met before, but she has seen you before. She has admired you for a long time and has never had the chance to meet you. So, I'm taking this opportunity to ask you to come to my house for a visit. At the same time, we can get to know each other. It's also good to be friends."”
" Oh," Hatch replied. Just as he was thinking about how to answer, a voice called out to him from afar," Hatch, I've finally found you…"
Before he finished speaking, he was already approaching. He was also a 70-year-old man, tall and thin, but his spirit was very high. He patted Hai Qi's shoulder and said,"Come to my house for dinner tonight. It's already cooked. My granddaughter made it personally. It's very sumptuous.”
" Hey, hey, hey, Wang Qiandao, we have to line up," Zhang Wusheng said unhappily,""As the saying goes, things have to be done on a first-come-first-served basis. I'm ahead of you. If you want to eat, come to my house first. My granddaughter personally cooked the food at my house.”
" Bullsh * t, Zhang Wusheng," Wang Qiandao scolded,""If we eat at your house, we might not be able to leave until tomorrow. If we come to my house, we can eat as much as we want and leave whenever we want.”
"Let's go to my house. My granddaughter is prettier than his granddaughter.”
"Go to my house. My granddaughter is gentler than his granddaughter.”
"My food is better than his.”
"My food smells better than his."
For a moment, the two of them stared at each other like they were cross-eyed, neither of them willing to give in. In the end, Liu Xueyan stood up and said,"Elder Zhang, you said first come first serve, right?”
"Of course," Zhang Wusheng replied without thinking.”
" That's good." Liu Xueyan smiled and said," Two wins and one loss. I agree with his point of view. Elder Zhang and I have won. Elder Wang, you have not been selected, so you withdraw from the competition.”
Zhang Wusheng nodded and said," Did you hear that? You're not selected. Xueyan chose to be on my side. You should quit obediently."”
Hai Qi was baffled, not knowing what they were up to. He then heard Liu Xue Yan say,""Elder Zhang, Elder Wang, I came earlier than you.”
The two of them didn't know what was going on at first, but after thinking about it, they suddenly asked in surprise,""Are you here to invite him to your house for dinner?”When she said the last sentence, the two of them were obviously not confident enough, as if they were three points shorter than her.
With so many competitors suddenly appearing out of nowhere, Liu Xueyan knew that if she didn't explain it now, the mission her grandfather gave her would definitely fail. She would definitely be scolded when she went back, so she couldn't care less and said it out loud,""That's right. I also invited him to my house for dinner. I came earlier than you. Moreover, there's no need to say anything more.”
The two old men looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. They couldn't help but sigh at the same time. They knew that their granddaughter was far inferior to her in terms of appearance and strength. Moreover, he had a grandfather-in-law who was a guardian behind him. If they dared to snatch her away from him, they would definitely be torn apart by him in the future.
Thinking of this, the two of them lowered their heads and turned to leave. At this moment, Haiqi understood and quickly called out,"Elder Zhang, I'll go to your place."
For Hai Qi, no matter who he went to, it was much better than going to Liu Xueyan's place. Therefore, he chose someone else without hesitation.
Liu Xueyan frowned when she heard that. Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Wusheng sighed and said,""Not coming, not coming…The dishes are cold."
"Elder Wang…"
"My dishes are getting cold too…" Wang Qiandao hurriedly said. As he spoke, he disappeared.
At this moment, Hai Qi's heart had also turned cold along with their dishes. He looked at Liu Xue Yan with a bitter smile, but Liu Xue Yan said coldly,""What, are you so powerful that you don't care about the mortal world? You're not even willing to come to Senior Sister's treat?”
"How is that possible?" Haiqi forced a smile. I can't wait!"
"That's good…" Liu Xueyan's expression softened slightly as she led the way and said,""I will explain this matter clearly to you…"
"What are you talking about?" Haiqi said angrily.
Liu Xueyan paused for a moment and said seriously," It was my grandfather's idea to treat you to a meal this time. It has nothing to do with me."”
"It's fine as long as there's food. It doesn't matter who invited him.”Hatch replied helplessly.
Liu Xueyan was about to flare up, but she could only hold it in after thinking about it. The two of them finally arrived at Liu Xueyan's residence after making many turns. They walked through the courtyard's main door and saw a vast and elegant land. It was covered with lush flowers and plants. The surrounding walls surrounded a courtyard house, and a quiet path led straight to the center of the courtyard. In the center of the courtyard was a large table with a variety of dishes on it. There were fish and meat on the table. The steam rose slowly and spread in all directions. Before they even got close, they could already smell the thick fragrance. A stooped old man in black sat in front of the table. It was Liu Tiancheng. When he saw Hai Qi arrive, he smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Haiqi nodded in response and came to his side with a smile.""It is indeed Hai Qi's honor to be invited by Protector Liu today.”
"Sit…" Liu Tiancheng smiled and said," I asked Xueyan to call you. I didn't see you for so long, so I thought you weren't coming. However, I still ordered someone to heat up the dishes again. You really didn't disappoint me."”
Hai Qi quickly said," How could I not come to Guardian Liu's banquet? It's just that something happened on the way and delayed me. I'm really sorry for making you wait."”As she spoke, she raised the wine glass on the table and filled it up for him. She then filled it up again and said,"This junior will drink first as a form of respect."
As he spoke, he finished the wine in his cup in one gulp. Liu Tiancheng also drank a cup and said,"Xueyan, what are you waiting for?”
" No need, no need," Haiqi was a little flustered,""I can do this myself.”
Liu Tiancheng waved his hand and said," You're a guest today. Don't talk so much. As a guest, do as the host pleases. Eat whatever you have."”
After he finished speaking to Haiqi, he said,"Xueyan…" Are you even listening to me?"
Liu Xue Yan was dissatisfied, but she still held back her anger and placed the rice in Hai Qi's bowl higher, at least twice as high as the previous bowl. Hatch didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but out of politeness, he still thanked her.
Hai Qi looked up at the tall mountain peak and didn't know what to say. Liu Tiancheng said,""Don't just look at it, eat it. Look at how sensible my Xueyan is. She filled your bowl with rice."
He paused for a moment and then said,"Xueyan, give him some food."”
Liu Xue Yan frowned and swallowed her sigh. She reluctantly picked up a piece of green vegetable, but looking at the mountain-like rice, she couldn't find a place to put it, so she could only insert the green vegetable into the middle of the rice. It was very funny.
Liu Tiancheng was drinking alone at the side, completely ignoring the situation here. He only asked,""Ocean Sage, you're already the greatest contributor to the unification of Misty Misty Rain City into Ink Peak Tower. Do you have any plans?”
" Junior doesn't deserve it." Hai Qi respectfully said,""I don't have any plans. The OP told me to open the second dimension box tonight. If I can open it, I might go to the second dimension during this period of time.”
Liu Tiancheng waved his hand and paused for a moment before saying,""I'm talking about your marriage plans.”
"Marriage? What marriage?”Hatch's heart was pounding, but he pretended to be confused.
"Then let me ask you, Hai Qi. How old are you this year?" Liu Tiancheng asked with a smile.”
"Just eighteen!" Hatch answered truthfully.
"Yes." Liu Tiancheng looked at Liu Xueyan and asked her,""Xueyan, what about you?"
Liu Xueyan was silent for a moment before she said in a low voice,""Nineteen and a half…"
"En, not bad." Liu Tiancheng smiled as he stroked his short white beard and said,""Haiqi, what do you think of my Xueyan?”
Hatch was puzzled by his question, but he still answered,""Senior Sister is very good. Not only is she good-looking, but her temperament is also good. Her martial arts are also good. In short, she's so good that there's no way to describe it.。”Even if he didn't mean what he said, he still said good things.
Liu Tiancheng nodded and smiled." What do you think if I betroth Xueyan to you?"”
His words were like a bolt of lightning from the clear sky, shocking Liu Xue Yan so much that she didn't even swallow a mouthful of soup and directly spat it out at him. It also shocked Hai Qi so much that his mouth full of rice sprayed all over his face. Although the two of them were mentally prepared, it was still impossible to guard against it.
Hatch couldn't help but cough.""Protector Liu, I'm really sorry! Cough cough, please don't joke about this while eating. I can't help it.”
" Young man, don't be agitated." Liu Tiancheng wiped the residue on his face without a care and flung it away with his hand."You still have a long time to live together. Do you have to be so excited?”
"No…no…I'm not excited." " Don't tease me, Guardian Liu," Hai Qi said." I'm a man, so it's fine. But it's not good to damage Senior Sister's reputation."”
" Who's joking with you?" Liu Tiancheng was slightly angry."If it were anyone else, this old man wouldn't even bother with ten palanquins. I've been waiting for that capable grandson-in-law that this old man has taken a fancy to. It's because Xueyan is far superior to others in every aspect, and no one is worthy of her. However, your appearance has really made me look at you in a different light, so I intentionally invited you to dinner and told you about this matter.”
" Guardian Liu, it's too fast!" Hai Qi said in panic." I…I'm not ready yet!"”
Liu Tiancheng smiled and said," You'll get used to it slowly. You don't have to prepare anything. Just order any worldly gifts!"”
" That's not what I meant." Hatch waved his hand.
"Oh, then what do you mean?" "Don't tell me you think our Xueyan isn't worthy of you?" Liu Tiancheng said coldly.”
"No…no, Senior Sister Liu is very good!”Haiqi racked his brain and finally said,""But I already have the person I love!”
" So you're talking about this," Liu Tiancheng said with a nonchalant expression,""That's easy to handle. It's very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a capable man. So don't worry about this.”
Hai Qi looked at Liu Xueyan with a bitter face. He saw that her eyes were red, and the pain and helplessness in her eyes were no less than his. He sighed and said,""Guardian Liu, even if I am willing, Senior Sister might not be willing. I think it's better to forget about it!”
Liu Tiancheng frowned and looked at her.""Xueyan, don't tell me you don't like the person your grandfather chose for you?"
Liu Xueyan pursed her lips tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall. She took a deep breath and slowly said,""Grandpa, whatever you say, you can decide.”
Liu Tiancheng nodded in satisfaction and smiled." That's more like it. I'll give it to you two another day."
Before he could finish, an old man's voice came from outside the door. He laughed and scolded,"Old Liu, hurry up. The building lord is urging people. If you delay any longer, you will miss the time to watch the second box open.”
