Chapter 784 Poisoning in front of me?
"I'm sure." The old castle lord nodded when he heard this.
Yan Li looked at him with a strange expression. Why was this old man so confident?
"Because you are a kind child, you will definitely agree to the request of an old man like me." The old castle lord said with a smile.
At this moment, everyone's eyes in the square were on Yan Li.
Originally, they received an invitation saying that the old castle lord wanted to adopt his granddaughter, and they were very curious about which young lady was so lucky to be favored by the old castle lord.
There are also several families in Jiuyue Fort, but they all obey the orders of the Fort Lord.
In Jiuyue Fort, the Fort Lord's Mansion has absolute authority.
Before the old castle lord brought Yan Li here, they were wondering whether it was Bai Yin from the Bai family, Li Yao from the Li family, or Mo Jing from the Mo family.
After all, the three of them have more opportunities to interact with the old castle lord, and the probability that the old castle lord will take them in as his granddaughters is the greatest.
Look at the three of them, all dressed up today, and competing secretly.
Until the old castle lord brought Yan Li to them, they were completely dumbfounded!
As it turned out, none of the three of them were good enough, and the old castle lord never took a liking to them.
So there was a hint of hostility in their eyes when they looked at Yan Li.
They watched the old castle lord and Yan Li walk past them and towards the platform.
Soon after, Yue Wen arrived with Zhan Wang and others.
It has to be said that almost no one present recognized that Yue Wen was their young master.
In fact, the change in his appearance can be said to be earth-shaking.
Yue Wen calmly led everyone to the platform and sat down on the chairs on the platform.
People in the square started discussing again!
Soon, the castle lord who received the news arrived with his brothers.
They looked at Yan Li beside the old castle lord with great curiosity.
After all, this was a person who was listed as number one on the to-be-killed list by the Fu'an Pavilion before he even arrived at the Holy Continent.
"Everyone is here, Third Elder, let the ceremony begin." The old castle lord looked at the Third Elder.
Since the first elder was not there, the ceremony of accepting the granddaughter was prepared by the third elder, so he was the one to preside over it.
"Yes, old castle lord." Upon hearing this, the third elder walked up to them.
"Everyone, today is our old castle lord's ceremony to recognize his granddaughter. This is the granddaughter our old castle lord is going to recognize today, Yan Li." The third elder introduced loudly.
As soon as the third elder finished speaking, there was a commotion below the square.
Bai Yin and the other two, who had originally held out a glimmer of hope, became even more vicious in their eyes.
"Now, the ceremony of recognizing the granddaughter officially begins. Present, the three gifts that the old castle lord has prepared for the young lady." As the third elder finished speaking, three disciples came out each holding a tray.
Yan Li was a little surprised when she heard this.
I thought that this so-called ceremony of recognizing a granddaughter was just to offer tea, kowtow, call him grandpa, and give a greeting gift, for everyone present to witness.
Who knew that he would be given three gifts right from the start.
The old castle owner walked forward with a smile and opened the notice on the first tray.
As soon as the red cloth was lifted, it immediately blinded the eyes of everyone present.
"It's the Jiuyue Pearl, one of the nine guardian objects of Jiuyue Fort." Someone below the square exclaimed.
Yan Li was also very surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that the gift given to him by the old castle lord would be so precious.
The old castle owner personally picked up the Nine Mountains Pearl and handed it to Yan Li.
"Li'er, the Jiuyue Pearl is handed to you, which means that from now on, you are the lady of my Jiuyue Fort, the apple of my eye." The old fort master looked at Yan Li with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Yan Li happily accepted the Jiuyue Pearl.
Although I don’t know what the magical uses of the Nine Mountains Pearl are, I like it very much just because of its shiny appearance.
The old castle owner then opened the second tray and saw an old bracelet lying quietly on it.
Everyone was puzzled as to why the old castle lord would give Yan Li such an old bracelet.
"Li'er, this bracelet was left by your grandmother before she died. She asked me to give it to her granddaughter, so I'm giving it to you. It contains some of your grandmother's favorite things when she was alive. I hope you don't dislike it." The old castle lord handed the bracelet to Yan Li.
Everyone in the square couldn't help but sigh when they heard this!
This turned out to be the relic of the old castle lord's wife, which shows how much the old castle lord values Yan Li.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I will take good care of it." Yan Li took the bracelet.
She found a familiar aura on the bracelet, so she took it and studied it slowly.
When the old castle lord saw that Yan Li treasured the bracelet very much, he smiled with satisfaction.
The old castle lord opened the last tray and found a token inside.
"Li'er, this is the token that represents the identity of the young lady of Jiuyue Fort. Are you willing to take it?" The old fort master picked up the token and looked at Yan Li.
"I do." Yan Li nodded and took the token from his hand seriously.
She might have felt a little helpless when she agreed to the old castle lord's request before, but now that Yan Li has seen the old castle lord's sincerity, she also really wants to recognize this grandfather.
"Miss, it's your turn to serve tea to the old castle lord." After the third elder finished speaking, a disciple beside him brought a cup of tea.
Yan Li frowned as she picked up the tea.
Under everyone's gaze, Yan Li poured the tea directly onto the ground. Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene!
But when they saw that the tea on the ground had directly corroded a large area of the ground, they were even more dumbfounded!
This proves that this cup of tea is highly poisonous!
If Yan Li gave this cup of tea to the old castle owner, he would surely die.
And Yan Li is also not free from responsibility.
"Who poisoned him? Don't you know that I was the one who cured the poison in the Great Elder?" Yan Li glanced around with sharp eyes.
The surroundings suddenly became silent!
"Miss, it's not me, it's not me, I don't know." The disciple who brought the tea knelt down in front of Yan Li in panic.
"You really don't know? Do you dare to swear?" Yan Li looked at her coldly.
"I... am Mo... Poof..." The disciple suddenly vomited blood and died before he could finish his words.
"Murder to silence the witness." Yan Li looked at the old castle lord and spread his hands.
"It's really bad luck. If it drags on, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly." The old castle lord ordered in a cold voice.
The disciples of Jiuyue Fort rushed up and dragged the disciple's body away.
The ceremony continues...
For safety reasons, the third elder personally prepared a new pot of tea and poured a cup for Yan Li.
"Grandpa, have some tea." Yan Li confirmed that there was no problem before offering the tea to the old castle owner.
"Well, Li'er is really my lucky star. She just saved my life." After saying this, the old castle lord happily drank the tea in his hand.
"Miss, it's time to serve tea to the Yue family uncles." The third elder looked at Yan Li with a smile.
"You little brats, I'm not your uncle for nothing. You have to give me a gift." The old castle lord on the side looked at Castle Master Yue and the others.
"We know." Lord Yue and others frowned when they heard this.
They also liked this niece very much, so they had naturally prepared a gift for her.
But what's going on with my dad?
Does it make you and others seem stingy?
