2. After Rebirth, I No Longer Wanted to Be A Cannon Fodder

522. Have You Ever Dreamed of Me? (2)

Ling Chuan squinted his eyes and thought to himself: As he assumed. He only assumed that the Pill Tower's Tower Master as a member of the Fate Clan. It never occurred to him that even Elder Taishang is one too.

"Could you give me a copy of the prescription for the Spirit Returning Pill? I'll try to see if I can prepare more spirit herbs," Ling Chuan pondered and suggested.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Sure."

Seeing this, Qu Kun didn't object either. It wouldn't hurt to prepare more spirit herbs for the production of the Spirit Returning Pill. After all, Qu Xinyang was his... son.

Ling Chuan had a few more words with the two before reluctantly leaving.

Qu Kun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Ling Chuan leave.

Ye Shi looked at Ling Chuan walking away and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Grandfather, actually, this grandfather is pretty good."

Qu Kun rolled his eyes and said, "You really have a pair of scoundrel eyes." This smooth-talking and nauseating person, how could Ye Shi think he's not bad?

Ye Shi: "..."

"Grandfather, actually, this grandfather cares a lot about you. Even if you have others, he doesn't mind. But, grandfather, do you really have that many people? And do you swing both ways?" Ye Shi looked at Qu Kun strangely.

Qu Kun thought to himself: Others? He's just bluffing. If it wasn't for that bastard Ling Chuan, who left a bad impression of sex, how could he not have embraced others?

Qu Kun cleared his throat and said, "I am an expert in the foreign domain. I am popular with many people..."

Ye Shi looked at Qu Kun with admiration and said, "Grandfather, you're really amazing!"

"It's alright, it's alright." Qu Kun waved his hand, looking proud.

Ye Shi: "..."

"Grandfather, don't you want to acknowledge this grandfather?" Ye Shi asked with a furrowed brow, regretfully.

Qu Kun said irritably, "Yeah! Why? Do you like him?"

Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said, "I think he's great!"

Qu Kun sneered inwardly, "He's great, huh? Which part of him do you think is great?"

Ye Shi counted on his fingers and said, "Strong, wealthy, skilled in refining, good-looking, passionate, easygoing, tender-hearted, generous, broad-minded, not concerned about trivial matters. That grandfather said he really misses you and dreams about you..."

Qu Kun: "..."

Qu Kun couldn't help but interrupt Ye Shi and said, "Stop talking."

Ye Shi asked perplexedly, "Why?"

Qu Kun rolled his eyes and thought to himself: He has already been disgusted by that idiot Ling Chuan, and now he has to be disgusted by this foolish grandson.

Qu Kun's face turned dark as he angrily said, "No reason."

Ye Shi looked at Qu Kun cautiously and asked, "Grandfather, what impression do you have of this grandfather?"

Qu Kun's face contorted and he said, "Shameless, despicable, treacherous, oily-tongued, unscrupulous, honey-mouthed but cold-hearted, better off dead..."

Ye Shi: "..."

Seeing Ye Shi's stunned expression, Qu Kun asked, "Do you have any more questions?"

Ye Shi stammered, "No..."

...

The Ling family's courtyard.

"You're back, Seventeenth Brother?" Ling Chen asked as he looked at Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan nodded and said, "Yes."

"You met Qu Kun outside?" Ling Chen continued to ask.

"Yes." A faint smile appeared on Ling Chuan's lips.

"Why did you suddenly want to meet him?" Ling Chen asked curiously.

Ling Chuan smiled and said, "Everyone is about to enter the secret realm, so I wanted to meet him and connect."

"And did he give you a hard time again?" Ling Chen asked gleefully.

Ling Chuan set up a restriction, allowing outsiders to only see three people inside. Ling Chen didn't know what Ling Chuan and Qu Kun said to each other, but he heard that when Qu Kun left, his face was extremely dark.

Ling Chuan stroked his chin and smiled faintly, "He has a bit of a temper and is not easy to please."

"Seventeenth Brother, did you say harsh words and teach him a lesson?" Ling Chen asked with interest.

Ling Chuan shook his head and said indifferently, "How could I? How could I possibly say harsh words to him? You're thinking too much."

Ling Chen: "..."

...

Bai Family.

"Grandfather looks very angry. You guys encountered Ling Chuan?" Mu Chen said with a strange expression.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! We encountered the other grandfather, so grandfather is in a bad mood. But actually, that grandfather is quite good."

"Good? What's good about him?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi said, "He treated me to roast meat, Eight Treasures Roast Bird, and it was very fragrant and delicious."

Mu Chen: "..." So because he fed you, he's a good person? I was actually worried about your food supply, but it seems like I don't need to worry too much.

Seeing Mu Chen's expression, Ye Shi quickly said, "I didn't say he's a good person just because he gave me roast meat."

Mu Chen: "..."

"Did that grandfather say anything?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! He said that in the past, he was very rude and apologized to grandfather. He said he missed grandfather and asked if grandfather missed him. He said he wants to be responsible towards grandfather."

Mu Chen: "..."

Ye Shi tilted his head and said, "Actually, this grandfather is quite good, very gentle and deeply affectionate."

Mu Chen stared at Ye Shi, his heart churning with something. Mu Chen forced a smile and said, "It's best to leave the elders handle matters themselves. We shouldn't interfere."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Alright."
