Chapter 36 Encounter, Avoid

A deep glint flashed across Bibi Dong's eyes, and then she spoke calmly, "Grandma Li is fine, she just misses you. She often asks me when you'll be back. Qiuqiu, if you miss her, go see her."

Ye Jingqiu's lips curled up, and she smiled happily. Thinking of her grandmother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she felt a little excited. Then she stood up and said, "Then I'll go first, Auntie."

Without waiting for Bibi Dong to speak, Ye Jingqiu disappeared in a flash.

"This child..."

Ye Jingqiu trotted to the door of Grandma Li's room. She lowered her head, tidied her clothes simply, and then opened the door and went in.

As soon as Ye Jingqiu entered the door, she smelled a faint scent of medicine. She frowned slightly and walked quickly towards the inner room.

Grandma Li leaned against the bed and asked after hearing footsteps, "Has the Saint returned? When will she be back? Didn't she say she would be back today? Why hasn't she made any movement yet?"

A series of question marks made Ye Jingqiu pause. He saw that Grandma Li's hair had turned a lot whiter and there were several more wrinkles on her face.

Ye Jingqiu's eyes were slightly red. She took a deep breath and raised the corners of her lips slightly. There was a hint of joy in her words, "Grandma, I'm back."

"Hey! It's Qiuqiu who's back." Grandma Li stretched out her hand and struggled to stand up.

Ye Jingqiu quickly stepped forward and took Grandma Li's hand, "Grandma, I'm back."

Grandma Li reached out and touched Ye Jingqiu's face. She touched it very carefully, as if she wanted to imprint her appearance in her heart, "Qiuqiu ah——"

The faint medicinal aroma grew stronger as Ye Jingqiu approached Grandma Li. His heart skipped a beat. "Grandma, have you been taking medicine lately? Are you feeling unwell?"

Grandma Li looked calm and said, "No, Qiuqiu. My leg pain is an old problem. After His Holiness the Pope found out, he found a doctor to see my leg. It's not a serious problem and it's much better now."

Ye Jingqiu didn't think much of it when she heard it, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned into Grandma Li's arms and whispered, "I'm glad Grandma is okay."

Only when he was with Grandma Li did Ye Jingqiu feel like a child, a five or six-year-old child who could act coquettishly with adults at any time.

Yue Guan and Guang Ling stood on one side, and Gui Mei stood not far from them with his arms folded.

Yue Guan looked at Guang Ling with a worried look on his face and asked, "How is the Saint in the Worship Hall? Is anyone bullying her?"

Guang Ling raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Who dares to bully the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall?" After a pause, he looked at Yue Guan and said teasingly, "You don't seem like someone who would meddle in other people's business."

Yue Guan said with a serious expression, "I watched the Saint grow up. Please do me a favor and keep an eye on her while she's in the worship hall. If anything happens, please send someone to find us and we'll be there right away."

Guang Ling smacked his lips, "I never thought that Yue Guan, you would ask me for help one day."

Gui Mei didn't know what was wrong when he heard that. He dodged and was between Yue Guan and Guang Ling. He tilted his head and looked at Guang Ling, "I'm asking for your help."

Guang Ling raised the corner of his lips, his eyes moving between Gui Mei and Yue Guan, "You want my help? Then I have to think about it."

"You..." Guimei stared at Guangling and didn't say a word for a long time.

"I, I, I, what do you mean by "I"? You are so disrespectful. I am the fifth worshiper of the Worship Hall. Please be polite when you see me." Guang Ling said word by word.

Guimei glared at him, ignored him, and turned away, dragging Yueguan.

Guang Ling waved towards Yue Guan, "Ju Hua Guan, don't worry, I will help you look after the Saint."

The ghost paused, then quickened his pace.

Guang Ling looked at the two people's backs and smiled. Apart from anything else, he loved coming to the Pope's Palace the most. There was always candy. ...

Three days passed in a flash.

Three months in the Temple of the Lord were exchanged for three days in the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong held Ye Jingqiu's hand, reluctantly admonishing her, "Don't work too hard. Auntie will be waiting for you to come back. No matter what, you will always be the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Ye Jingqiu nodded heavily, "Don't worry, auntie, I get it. Three months will pass in a flash. I'll be back soon, auntie."

"Qiuqiu, remember what Auntie said and be careful."

"Okay." Ye Jingqiu raised the corners of her lips. Ever since she was taken back to the Spirit Hall at the age of six, the longest time she had been away from the Pope's Palace was to go to school in the Spirit Hall. Three months was already a long time.

Although she felt reluctant in her heart, she tried not to show it, "Don't worry, auntie, I'll go first."

"Go." Bibi Dong waved reluctantly.

Guang Ling nodded at Yue Guan, and Gui Mei flashed to block Yue Guan, looking at him with a gloomy look.

Guang Ling sneered and followed Ye Jingqiu. The three of them left the Pope's Palace and walked towards Wuhun City.

This was Guang Ling's idea. Since the time set by Qian Daoliu hadn't arrived yet, they might as well go out for a walk. He walked in front and pointed at a shop and said, "The food in this shop is unique in Wuhun City. Come on, I'll take you two to try it."

Ye Jingqiu was young and still had the temperament of a child, so she didn't object, and the three of them went into the restaurant together.

Guang Ling was obviously a regular customer of the store. The waiter asked as soon as he saw his face, "Still the same as before?"

Guang Ling nodded and said, "Just be honest." Then he took the two of them to find a place by the window to sit down. He tilted his head and saw the scene on the street.

Ye Jingqiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. When she turned her head, her eyes fell on the six people on the street.

Xie Yue and Yan walked in front, Hu Liena held Shen Qingqing's arm, and the two were talking about something. Song Liyang stood beside them, saying a few words from time to time.

Lu Si'en walked at the end, neither too far nor too close to the five people in front. He had a cold expression and no one knew what he was thinking.

Ye Jingqiu's gaze fell on him, and Bibi Dong's words reappeared in his mind.

Lu Si'en killed Zhang Wanhao.

Lu Si'en suddenly stopped and turned his head as if he sensed something. Ye Jingqiu was startled and quickly bent down.

When Lu Si'en turned around, he met a pair of cold eyes. The man had silver hair. When their eyes met, he curled his lips playfully and raised his glass to Lu Si'en.

Song Liyang stopped and turned around, "Lu Sien, hurry up, what's wrong?"

Lu Si'en remembered this strange man, "It's okay." He followed Song Liyang and walked forward together.

"Okay, the person has already left, stop hiding." Guang Ling said with a smile.

Ye Jingqiu breathed a sigh of relief and sat up. She didn't know why she was hiding, she just didn't know how to face it.

As Lu Si'en walked, he felt something was wrong. The look in his eyes was very familiar, as if it was Ye Jingqiu. He turned around and ran towards the place he had just been.
