This subtle attitude made Grandma Ping feel curious. Although she had seen people fall in love at first sight and then remain faithful to each other until death, when it happened to Yan Fei... wasn't it a bit too bizarre?
Whether as a half-immortal beast or as a legal consultant, Yan Fei is a person whose rationality is obviously greater than his emotionality. It is impossible for such a thing as 'just because I looked at you more in the crowd' to happen!
If it wasn't because she was sure that Yan Fei was not mentally affected, Grandma Ping would have suspected whether Yu Qi had used some hypnosis method to make Yan Fei fall in love with him so quickly.
With a look of exploration, a gleam of light flashed in Grandma Ping's eyes, and her vision became blurred for a moment.
Feeling a little uncomfortable with Grandma Ping's gaze, Yu Qi moved slightly, bowed to Grandma Ping and asked, "Old lady, may I know your name? Is there something strange about me? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Oh, haha, sorry, sorry." Shaking her head and looking away, Grandma Ping drooped her eyelids to hide the look of horror that appeared in her eyes.
"I am old now, and it is rare for me to see a handsome young man like you. I immediately thought of my girl. She has reached the age of marriage, and it is time to find a good family for her!"
As she spoke, Grandma Ping's eyes lightly swept over Yan Fei who was standing beside her, and then she looked thoughtfully at Xiangling who was walking slowly with dishes not far away, and the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch.
"As for me, an old lady, I don't have a famous name. My given name is Ping, and people who are familiar with me usually call me Grandma Ping."
"Um, Grandma Ping..." Looking at Grandma Ping hesitantly, Yu Qi was a little confused about the meaning of her meaningful words just now.
She fell in love with me? She wanted me to be her grandson-in-law? This, is impossible?
Yu Qi is very aware of his appearance. He can’t be said to be ugly, but he is not handsome either. He can only be said to be good-looking!
Moreover, I don't have that kind of cunning aura that would make people tremble at the sight of me, and I don't dress luxuriously. No matter what, Grandma Ping shouldn't be attracted to me.
Unless - she was particularly disgusted with the "girl" who was about to reach marriage age, and she hoped that her future life would be as bad as possible.
But when Grandma Ping mentioned the "girl" just now, her words revealed a bit of helplessness and full of doting. She didn't sound like a vicious grandmother who hated her granddaughter at all!
For a moment, Yu Qi was a little confused.
However, Yan Fei on the side couldn't help but blush, and even the yellow-green antlers on both sides of her cheeks were stained with a little red. Seeing this, the little girl sitting on the other side couldn't help but widen her eyes and stare at Yan Fei's antlers with blinking eyes.
It was like, wanting to reach out and touch her but being afraid that Yan Fei would refuse, so I was secretly conflicted.
On the other side, Xiangling, who was handing a dish to a customer, suddenly paused and almost spilled the full plate in her hand. Fortunately, she reacted in time and put the soup steadily on the table before it flowed out of the edge of the plate.
After whispering an apology to the guest, Xiangling hurried back to the kitchen.
Sensing the emotional changes of the two parties keenly, Grandma Ping couldn't help but feel a headache, especially after seeing Yu Qi's confused expression, she felt even more helpless.
Fortunately, this emotion only flashed through her mind. As an immortal, Grandma Ping did not intend to interfere too much in the emotional affairs of her disciples and juniors. As long as they were not deliberately deceived, she would take a laissez-faire attitude in other aspects.
Of course, if possible, she wouldn't mind bringing Yu Qi, Xiang Ling, and Yan Fei together. As for the reason...
"It's so rare to see such a strange person in this day and age. A human from another world? A new demon god? And this subtle sense of familiarity. Is he the descendant of an old friend?"
Let’s see if we can keep him in Liyue. With the Emperor around, we’ll feel more at ease.
However, this pure and natural feeling almost made me think that it was the ruler of Xumi who came over!'
Talking to herself, Grandma Ping hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision. She would try her best to bring Yu Qi and the others together. It would be a very cost-effective thing to tie such a person to her emotional bond.
Besides, she was just trying to bring them together. If it worked out, that would be great. But if it didn't, she wouldn't force it.
As for which one Yu Qi would choose between Yan Fei and Xiang Ling? That depends on their own development.
After all, given the situation in Liyue, even if Yu Qi wanted to hug people left and right, as long as the person concerned was willing, no one would say anything!
Feeling Grandma Ping's gaze again, this time, Yu Qi finally noticed something strange.
He frowned slightly and glanced at Yan Fei, who had been silent since she entered the room. He saw the blush on her face that had not yet faded, and the girl sitting next to her with an obvious look of intimacy on her face.
Yu Qi's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Could it be that the 'girl' that Grandma Ping was talking about is Yan Fei? Damn... I accidentally met Yan Fei's parents?! And she is very satisfied with me?"
"Wait a minute, Yan Fei is obviously not human. According to the information Xiangling told me before, she should be related to the 'immortals' of Liyue, so... a descendant of immortals? Then Grandma Ping..."
His heart tightened, and the moment this thought popped into his mind, Yu Qi was so scared that he almost jumped up from the bench. Fortunately, he suppressed the panic in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
Since Grandma Ping didn't attack me as soon as they met, then either she didn't discover my identity as a time traveler, or she did discover it but didn't care about it at all.
Combined with what happened on the day of the time travel, the balance in Yu Qi's heart gradually tilted towards the latter possibility.
At the same time, Yu Qi's mind kept replaying various scenes since arriving at Wanmin Hall. Soon, he discovered something he had overlooked: "Xiangling's attitude seems to be a little wrong!"
'Since Yan Fei and I came here, she has appeared around here three times while serving dishes. And the way she and Yan Fei looked at the door at the beginning. If I remember correctly, she seemed to say that she was going to Yujingtai to visit her master when we parted ways, right?
Good fellow, I never thought that you, Xiangling, who looks like a woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are actually a "second-generation immortal" in secret!
After secretly complaining in his heart, Yu Qi looked up and met Grandma Ping's gaze. Seeing her kind and gentle appearance, the vigilance in his heart disappeared a little.
There was a flash of golden light in his eyes, and the Eye of Truth was opened to sense several times. After confirming that there was no malicious intent, he silently judged the identity of Grandma Ping in his heart: a reclusive immortal who came to investigate Yu Qi because she cared about the life of her younger generation.
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, the golden light in Yu Qi's eyes still did not dissipate.
Chapter 38: The Matchmaking between Yu Qi and Grandma Ping
"Young man, you don't seem to be from Liyue, do you?!" Clearly aware of Yu Qi's drastic change in mood, Grandma Ping remained calm, smiled and asked as if chatting with her family: "Are you planning to settle down in Liyue this time?"
"Oh, how did Grandma Ping know that?" Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yu Qi cooperated with a curious expression.
However, what Yu Qi didn't expect was that Grandma Ping gave him a strange look: "Haven't you guessed it?"
"Forehead……"
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, it seems that Xiangling and Yanfei haven't told you about me." Chuckling and shaking her head, Grandma Ping looked up and glanced at Xiangling who was passing by again with a tray of food.
Then, she continued, "I am Xiangling's master. I taught her spearmanship. When she came back from her travels, she told me a lot about you, Yu Qi. I am naturally curious about what this girl's lover looks like, so I followed her here to see if I could meet you."
"Is that so!" Nodding suddenly in realization, Yu Qi looked up at Xiang Ling who seemed helpless not far away. He always felt that there was something wrong here.
Did Xiangling really have that kind of feelings towards him? She even confessed everything to her master, Grandma Ping? Why couldn't he sense it at all?
"I shouldn't be that slow, right? It's impossible that my time traveling through time didn't change anything else, but I learned the indecisiveness of the male protagonist in light novels without any guidance?"
Blinking in confusion, Yu Qi couldn't help but doubt himself. Yan Fei, on the other hand, had calmed down at this moment. She also glanced at Xiang Ling, and then at the smile on Grandma Ping's face. She understood everything in an instant.
"Grandma~" She sighed. She was quite dissatisfied with Grandma Ping's mischievous behavior. She pouted and complained: "Please stop trying to match people up with each other! Mr. Yu Qi and Xiangling..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiangling came striding over with a plate in her hand, and then she put the food on the table with a snap: "Guests, here's the food you ordered!"
After setting the table, Xiangling picked up the chopping board and was about to leave with an expressionless face, but was stopped by the smiling Grandma Ping: "Wait, Xiangling, we are also discussing something related to you. The store is not busy now, so why don't you stay and listen together."
"..." Her serious expression was instantly broken. Xiangling, who obviously knew what Grandma Ping had talked about with Yu Qi and the others, could not help but yelled in shame and anger: "Master!!!"
The slightly sharp voice instantly resounded throughout the Wanmin Hall. The guests who were eating nearby couldn't help but look over. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion. Xiangling, who had reacted, turned blood red and lowered her head to apologize to the guests.
Seeing that the turmoil was over, the chef who had just finished cooking the last dish came out from the kitchen of Wanmintang. He wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, looked at Xiangling in confusion, and asked, "Grandma Ping, and Xiangling, what are you doing..."
"Haha, it's nothing, Master Mao." Shaking her head, Yan Fei took the initiative to smooth things over: "Grandma was just joking with Xiangling, but I didn't expect her to react so strongly."
"Oh, haha, I'm glad you're okay." Shaking his head, although Master Mao saw that there might be some hidden secrets, he did not choose to delve into it. After all, Grandma Ping was Xiangling's master, and she would never harm her no matter what.
As he was talking, another customer walked in. Master Mao greeted him and hurriedly went to meet him: "You guys chat, I'll go get busy first."
"This guest, what would you like to eat?"
"Let's have some scallion-fried tofu and three fresh seafood dishes from Yangang!"
"Okay, wait a moment."
Seeing Chef Mao busying himself in the kitchen, Grandma Ping waved her hand and called Xiangling over to sit down.
Seeing the blushing girl bowing her head in silence, Grandma Ping teased, "You, before when you were in front of me, didn't you always speak well of your 'Big Brother Yu'? Why, now that you are in front of people, you dare not speak anymore!"
"Master..." Xiang Ling whispered, then raised her head and glanced at Yu Qi. Her eyebrows were as pretty as a painting, and her eyes were moving, which made Yu Qi's heart skip a beat.
On the side, Yan Fei looked at them who seemed to be in love with each other, but suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, grandma, don't keep joking about this! Let's eat first, everyone is hungry, and the food will get cold if we don't eat now."
They all looked at Yan Fei. Yu Qi had a strange expression on his face, Xiang Ling was more grateful, and Grandma Ping had a very subtle expression on her face. Only the little girl with a bun on the side had a confused look on her face. She looked left and right at the adults, and the bell on her head rang slightly.
"Master, what are you talking about?"
"Haha, it's nothing. Yaoyao will understand it when she grows up."
Smiling and rubbing the little girl's head, Grandma Ping took the lead in picking up the chopsticks: "Okay, no more talking, let's eat first."
As they started eating, the atmosphere at the table gradually returned to normal.
Xiangling and Yanfei were chatting, talking about the interesting experiences they had encountered during this period. The little girl next to them tilted her head and listened with relish. Grandma Ping also interjected from time to time. Yu Qi was occasionally mentioned and would chime in.
In such a happy atmosphere, Yu Qi's vigilance gradually dissipated and he spoke more and more.
During the chat, he also learned the name of the little girl next to him.
Yaoyao, a very nice name, is Xiangling’s junior sister and also Grandma Ping’s last disciple.
At such a young age, she possesses the Divine Eye that ordinary people dream of. Unlike her senior sister Xiangling, she possesses the Divine Eye of the grass element.
This aroused Yu Qi's curiosity. After all, he was now also able to control the power of grass elements. Now that he saw a similar holder of the Eye of God, he naturally couldn't help but want to communicate with him.
See what the differences are between her and myself in terms of understanding, cognition and use of grass elemental power.
Chapter 39: Yu Qi and Confused Emotions
After a brief exchange with Yaoyao, Yu Qi was somewhat surprised to find that, compared to her senior sister Xiangling, Yaoyao seemed to prefer the use of grass elemental power and delve into healing. With the help of the rabbit named 'Laurel' that she carried with her, she could easily perform large-scale healing techniques.
As for the performance...
"Um, what is this?!" Yu Qi looked at the white radish that Yaoyao handed to him with some astonishment. The radish was as thick as an ordinary person's arm. He opened his mouth and looked at the girl's expectant expression. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise or complain.
As a user of grass elemental force, he could naturally tell that this radish was condensed from grass elemental force, but this appearance... He tentatively squeezed the white jade radish in his hand, and a burst of emerald green light spread out, and the gentle grass elemental force covered his whole body.
Yu Qi keenly felt that his fatigue seemed to be dispelled a little, although the effect on him was not obvious...
Putting aside the effectiveness of the treatment, the fact that she is able to skillfully use elemental forces and magic and combine them for combat is enough to prove the girl's talent in this area.
Don't forget, she is just a little girl of seven or eight years old. The fact that she could do such a thing is enough to make a group of adults ashamed.
"You're amazing, Yaoyao!" Yu Qi exclaimed, and recalled the situation when he was seven or eight years old. He felt a little ashamed. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be... holding branches and stones, and acting out the World War by himself? !
Compared with Yaoyao, she is so childish.
Fortunately, this embarrassment was fleeting, and Yu Qi quickly focused his attention on another thing.
"Why do Yaoyao and Baishu both use the grass elemental power to treat injuries? Could it be that this is the correct way to use the grass elemental power?"
If there was only Bai Zhu, Yu Qi wouldn't care too much. After all, his main job was a doctor, and there was nothing wrong with developing elemental power in this direction.
But then there is the case of Yaoyao...
The choice of a little girl of seven or eight years old naturally cannot be used as a reference, even though she looks very mature and like a little adult; but don't forget that Yaoyao's master is Grandma Ping, who is suspected to be a fairy. Under her guidance, Yaoyao's use of elemental power, in theory, should not take any detours.
"So, the definition of grass elemental power in this world is the usual definition of 'wet nurse'?!"
Looking at his palm in a daze, Yu Qi seemed to be recalling the effect of Yaoyao's white jade radish just now, but in fact, he was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"But why do I feel that the effect of grass elemental power is more than that? In addition to the normal ability to catalyze plants and heal injuries, why do they seem to have spiritual abilities?"
Moreover, when using the grass elemental power, he could clearly feel the connection between this elemental power and the earth veins under his feet. Through this connection, he could even vaguely perceive that in an unknown distance, deep in the earth veins, at the intersection of all elemental flows, there was such a lush tree!
Perhaps because the grass elemental power he controlled was too weak, Yu Qi could not really follow the connection between them to find the tree. Even this feeling appeared and disappeared from time to time, causing him to think that he was hallucinating.
And now, after coming into contact with Bai Zhu and Yao Yao, two users of grass elemental power, this suspicion has become more and more real.
"Hey, Brother Yu Qi, are you still thinking about how to use the grass elemental power? It's okay. I heard from Master that most users of the Eye of God will be extremely confused when they first come into contact with the elemental power and don't know how to use it.
You will get used to it naturally after some time of contact, so don't worry!"
Reaching out and patting Yu Qi's arm, Yaoyao comforted Yu Qi in a sincere tone, although this comfort made him feel a little bit amusing.
"It's okay, I just thought of some other problems." Shaking his head, Yu Qi did not choose to express his doubts.
After all, he and Grandma Ping and the others had only just met, so it was impossible for him to tell them all his secrets.
Moreover, the way to use elemental power is something that can be called "secret" no matter where it is. Even though she is an immortal, Grandma Ping doesn't care about Yu Qi's question about it, but he can't be so tactless as to inquire about other people's inheritance.
This can no longer be called a lack of worldly wisdom, but rather, excessive greed!
"Forget it, let's wait until later. I'll ask for advice when I'm more familiar with them. With my relationship with Yan Fei, Xiang Ling and the others, it shouldn't be a problem." Looking up at Yan Fei and Xiang Ling who were smiling beside him, Yu Qi hesitated.
He didn't want this friendship to be tainted by interests and become no longer pure.
“…Forget it, let it be!” He shook his head secretly in his heart, and put aside those unnecessary thoughts. Yu Qi thought to himself: “Anyway, I also have the inheritance I got from Fushe. Although it is about the element of lightning, I can apply it to other things and develop the skills of using the element of grass.”
