Chapter 319 Eating for Fun
"Xin'er, you know how important it would be to our Su family if your second uncle succeeds in the promotion. Unfortunately, our Su family does not have the promotion pills suitable for him, otherwise I would not have asked you to go back and beg for help. Alas..." The head of the Su family sighed after he finished speaking.
"Dad, don't worry. Grandpa has always loved me. After the ten-year conference is over, I will beg him hard and he will definitely get it." Gu Xin comforted.
"Xin'er, let's go. But I heard that Yan Li has a kind of promotion fruit that enabled the three masters of the Gu family to successfully advance. However, promotion fruits are hard to come by, alas..." said the head of the Su family with a melancholy look on his face.
"Oh, that's right. Yan Li gave it to my three uncles during the introduction banquet. They advanced to the next level soon after taking it." Gu Xin nodded when she heard that.
How could he not know that the head of the Su family was also present at the time?
He just wanted Gu Xin to go back home to ask for the promotion fruit.
"Dad, let me think about what to do." Gu Xin looked at the head of the Su family.
"Alas...Xin'er, it is a blessing for our Su family to marry you." Upon hearing this, the head of the Su family nodded with satisfaction.
The head of the Su family believes that Gu Xin is Gu Yanran's only daughter. In order to make her life easier in the Su family, the head of the Gu family will definitely let Yan Li take out the promotion fruit.
By then, both he and his two older brothers would be able to advance successfully.
But the head of the Su family could never have imagined that the girl who married into their Su family was actually a fake!
Yan Li and the others returned to the backyard of the inn. As soon as they walked in, they saw Qi Xian sitting there and looking at them with a smile.
"Li'er, you are really amazing." Qi Xian looked at Yan Li with a suppressed smile.
"It's a good opportunity to show Brother Yi how lightning strikes." Yan Li said and walked over to pour herself a glass of water.
King Xiao, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this.
This is so funny!
Li'er is so cute even when she does bad things.
"I heard that the ten-year conference was postponed to three days later?" Qi Xian asked with a smile.
"Isn't it? The banquet area is a mess and the banquet can't proceed at all." Yan Li nodded.
Qi Xian: ...
Looking at Li'er's behavior, it seems like she was not the one who destroyed the banquet area?
Isn’t this too calm?
Yan Li and the others had just finished their meal when Gu Xin came to the door again, saying that she was here to visit the head of the Gu family.
"The visit was fake, but the request for the elixir was real." Old Master Gu said with a dark face.
"Grandpa, the Su family is also a top family. Don't they have any promotion pills?" Yan Li asked speechlessly.
"There are definitely promotion pills, but they are not as useful as the ones you refine." The head of the Gu family replied.
"So, they are targeting my pills?" Yan Li exclaimed.
"Yes." Seeing this, the head of the Gu family nodded with amusement.
"Don't even think about it." Yan Li said, then calmly sat aside and started eating the meat buns.
At this time, Gu Xin had already walked in, followed by Su Hong, who looked unhappy.
"Grandpa." Gu Xin called sweetly as she walked in.
Su Hong also called out "Grandpa" and his eyes fell on Yan Li who was standing beside him.
Gu Xin was instantly furious when she saw this. She stretched out her hand and twisted Su Hong's arm hard.
Su Hong was forced to look away in pain, and he glared at Gu Xin angrily.
"Now that you are here, please sit down." The head of the Gu family looked at them and said.
"Huh? Didn't you say you were here to visit someone? And you came here empty-handed? Your Su family is really stingy." Yan Li looked at them with contempt.
"No, Xin'er said that grandpa didn't care about these things, and time was tight, so he didn't prepare anything." Upon hearing this, Su Hong immediately pushed all the responsibility onto Gu Xin.
Gu Xin immediately became furious when she heard this!
However, I came here this time just to get the promotion fruit, and I didn't even think about bringing any gifts.
"Grandpa, I believe you won't bother with Xin'er about such a trivial matter, right?" Gu Xin said coquettishly to the head of the Gu family.
"Yes, of course Grandpa minds it very much. It's not because of the gifts, but because all the etiquette that the Gu family taught Gu Xin since she was a child was thrown out of the window once she married into the Su family." Before the head of the Gu family could speak, Yan Li continued.
Yan Li's words made Gu Xin and Su Hong's faces turn pale.
"Forget it if you didn't bring it." said the head of the Gu family.
"I knew grandpa wouldn't bother with me." Gu Xin's face immediately filled with pride when she heard that.
"After all, this is the backyard of the inn. You can just sit here for a while and then leave." The head of the Gu family said coldly to Gu Xin and the others.
Who knew that as soon as the head of the Gu family finished speaking, Gu Xin's tears immediately rolled down, crying so miserably.
This scene left everyone in the Gu family speechless.
What is Gu Xin singing?
Why are you coming here to mourn for no reason?
"Stop crying and just tell me what's going on." Patriarch Gu said in annoyance.
"Grandpa, Xin'er feels so sad. I can't help crying when I see you." Gu Xin raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at the head of the Gu family.
"Is it because the Su family treats you badly?" Patriarch Gu wanted to see why she came to him and acted like this.
"The Su family treats me well, that's it, that's it..." Gu Xin said as she glanced secretly at Yan Li, seeming to hesitate.
"So what?" Master Ouyang on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
"They often secretly scold me behind my back for not thinking about the family. The Gu family has such good promotion fruits but I didn't ask for a few for them. Grandpa, even though they talk about us behind my back, every time Xin'er hears it, her heart feels like it's being stabbed by needles." Gu Xin said and started crying again.
Only then did everyone in the Gu family realize that Gu Xin’s goal was to get the promotion fruit.
"How can it be possible to get a spiritual fruit like the Promotion Fruit as soon as you ask for it? The Su family is too dreamy." The head of the Gu family said with disdain in his tone.
Click!
At this moment, a clicking sound came from beside them!
Everyone looked in the direction of the crackling sound and saw Yan Li holding a promotion fruit in her hand and biting it happily.
Everyone:...
Li'er, this is a waste of God's gift!
"Grandpa, look, look, she is actually eating the promotion fruit for fun." Gu Xin exclaimed as soon as she saw it.
Upon hearing this, Yan Li remained very calm and continued to eat the promotion fruit in her hand.
There are a lot of these promotion fruits in the Purple Spirit Realm. She thinks they taste good, so she often picks them and eats them as fruit.
Patriarch Gu:...
Is Li'er planning to piss Gu Xin off to death?
"The promotion fruit belongs to Li'er. No one else has the right to interfere with how she eats it." The head of the Gu family looked at Gu Xin and said in a deep voice.
At this time, Yan Li actually brought out a large plate of promotion fruits and distributed them to everyone around him.
The others took one fruit each and carefully put them in the jade box. They couldn't eat the promotion fruit for fun like Li'er did.
Seeing this, Yan Li naturally understood what they were thinking, but she just smiled and said nothing.
"Why are there only two of us who don't get any?" Gu Xin became upset again when she saw that Yan Li distributed promotion fruits to everyone, and only she and Su Hong didn't get any.
