Chapter 340 This is the gap
As time passed, the Soul-Eating Granny's gaze gradually became dull, and she was eventually turned into a puppet by Yan Li.
After Yan Li dripped a drop of blood onto her forehead, the Soul-Eating Grandma's dull eyes instantly regained clarity.
But unlike her previous viciousness, the Soul-Eating Grandma’s eyes were now full of awe.
"Master." The Soul-Eating Grandma bowed to Yan Li.
"Is it done?" The War King put down the teacup in his hand and looked over.
"It's done." Yan Li nodded.
"Soul-Eating Granny, from now on you should go back to Zi Han Palace and report to me any situation at any time." Yan Li ordered the Soul-Eating Granny.
"Yes, master." The Soul-Eating Grandma took the order and left.
"Li'er, your puppetry is amazing." King Xiao looked at Yan Li with admiration.
"I learned it by chance." Yan Li said with a smile.
Of course, she couldn't tell them that this was the ancient puppetry technique taught to her by Yue Ming Zhiduan's master.
Once this puppet is refined, it will self-destruct if she has any rebellious thoughts without waiting for her to betray.
This is the domineering nature of ancient puppetry.
After refining the puppet of the Soul-Eating Grandma, it was already very late.
Yan Li and the others went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day.
Yan Li and the others were having breakfast in the yard when the head of the Gu family walked in.
"Grandpa, why are you here so early?" Yan Li looked at the head of the Gu family curiously.
"Li'er, look." Patriarch Gu placed two invitations in front of Yan Li.
Yan Li picked it up and saw that it was an invitation sent by the Su family, and the reason was Gu Xin’s birthday.
One is for the Gu family and the other is for Yan Li.
"Grandpa, is there something wrong with the Su family? Why did they send me a separate invitation?" Yan Li looked at the head of the Gu family speechlessly.
"Miss, you may not know that there is an unwritten rule in the mainland that only one invitation is sent to family members." said the butler at the side.
Ever since Gu Xin was cleared out, everyone in the Gu family has been calling Yan Li "Miss".
"If that's the case, then the Su family is mocking me for not being from the Gu family?" Yan Li muttered as she looked at the invitation.
"Whoever dares to say that you are not from the Gu family will be angry with him." The head of the Gu family felt distressed again after hearing this.
"Grandpa, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Seeing this, Yan Li held the hand of the head of the Gu family.
"Li'er, are you going to Gu Xin's birthday party?" The head of the Gu family looked at Yan Li.
"They have specially invited me, it would be a shame not to go. But as for the gift, an eight-year-old kid like me certainly can't give a very good one." Yan Li said with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"Grandpa will ask the housekeeper to help you prepare it." The head of the Gu family said with a smile, touching her little head.
"No, grandpa, we don't have to let the Su family get away with it." Yan Li immediately shook her head.
"But if the gift Miss gives is too cheap, I'm afraid someone will laugh at her, and Miss will inevitably feel wronged." The housekeeper looked at Yan Li with worry in his eyes.
"Don't worry, butler. If anyone dares to mock me, he will be the one in trouble." Yan Li said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper smiled and said nothing more.
It’s strange to say, Gu Xin grew up in the Gu family.
But the servants of the Gu family just couldn't like her. Yan Li had only been there for a short time, but the hearts of the servants of the Gu family were all leaning towards her.
"Senior Brother, how many days can you stay here?" Yan Li looked at the War King standing beside him.
"We should go back tomorrow. Don't worry, Li'er, we will meet again soon." King Zhan smiled and looked at Yan Li, who had a lost face.
"Really?" Yan Li raised her head and looked at the War King.
"Of course, the secret realm of the ice cave will be opened soon, and we can meet again then." The War King looked at her with a smile.
"That's great." Yan Li's previous worried expression faded away because she was looking forward to it.
The next day, King Zhan and King Xiao left.
In the blink of an eye, it was Gu Xin's birthday.
"Grandpa, aren't my brothers going?" Yan Li saw that only she and the head of the Gu family were going, so she looked at him curiously.
"Gu Zhu and the others have all gone back. Gu Shan has to deal with family affairs and is busy, and Gu Luo has gone out to visit friends." The old patriarch Gu said with a smile.
"I see." Yan Li discovered that the brothers in the Gu family really didn't care about Gu Xin's birthday.
Yan Li followed the head of the Gu family to the Su family and saw that the ceremony prepared by the Su family for Gu Xin's birthday was not inferior to her own.
I just don’t know if the gift that the Su family gives back to the guests is also a god-level elixir?
When the head of the Gu family brought Yan Li into the Su family, they saw Gu Xin waiting there.
"Grandpa, you are here." Gu Xin was also wearing a red dress today, looking very festive.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Gu Xin was deliberately competing with Yan Li.
The head of the Gu family nodded to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin couldn't help but look behind the head of the Gu family.
"Grandpa, when will my brothers arrive?" Gu Xin finally couldn't help but ask.
Judging from the birthday gift they gave to Yan Li, I believe what they prepared for myself won’t be too bad.
"They won't come. They are busy during this period. Please be understanding." The head of the Gu family looked at Gu Xin and said perfunctorily.
Gu Xin's face instantly darkened when he heard this.
"Grandpa, it's okay. It's okay that my brothers didn't come. Xin'er won't mind." Gu Xin raised her head with a look of forbearance and aggrieved expression.
The head of the Gu family would naturally not be fooled by her appearance. He just nodded with an indifferent expression.
Gu Xin thought, since Gu Shan and the others didn’t come, there would be at least some gifts.
"Grandpa, please take a seat quickly." After saying this, Gu Xin led the head of the Gu family and Yan Li inside.
What Yan Li didn't expect was that the seats of the head of the Gu family and Yan Li were actually separate.
The seat of the head of the Gu family was relatively close to the front. Although Yan Li's seat was not very far back, it was still some distance away from the head of the Gu family.
"Xin'er, what does this mean?" Yan Li didn't care. The head of the Gu family just had a gloomy face.
"Grandpa, this seat is not something I can decide." Gu Xin said with her head down.
"Either arrange Li'er to stay by my side, or we leave now." Patriarch Gu said coldly.
When the others saw this, they all looked over here.
"Are you Yan Li?" At this moment, a man with squinting eyes walked up to Yan Li and asked.
"Grandpa, grandpa, it's scary, so scary." Yan Li hid directly behind the head of the Gu family.
Everyone:...
The man with squinting eyes is obviously the Su family's animal taming master, who has great prestige in the Su family.
Although he has a high level of animal training, he looks extremely ugly.
"You..." Seeing Yan Li's reaction, Master Fan was instantly furious.
"Grandpa, he looks so scary, even uglier than the Ugly Beast? Is he really a human? Could he be a Ugly Beast in disguise?" Yan Li's words made Master Fan almost vomit blood.
Everyone:…….
This is probably the first time someone dares to say this about Master Fan.
Everyone knows that Master Fan is ugly, and what he hates most is for others to make comments about his appearance.
