Chapter 40

"Brother, come sit here!"

As Li Mubai had agreed to accompany her, Li Qingyao hastily pointed to the place behind her.

Li Mubai: "????..."

As the carousel started to spin up and down along with a burst of cheerful yet lighthearted music, Li Mubai's mind couldn't help but conjure up Xiao Qingcheng's figure.

Unexpectedly at this time, Li Qingyao happened to turn back to take a look at him. "Brother, Is there something wrong with you?"

Li Mubai's face flushed in embarrassment.

"Were you actually thinking about other women?"

Li Mubai facepalmed.

How did she figure that out?!

Just How?!

Li Qingyao: "????..."

...

After that, the two of them continued to play in the playground until the late afternoon.

Li Qingyao seemed to be quite content. Or rather, she was content to spend her time with Li Mubai.

"She's really a BroCon, huh..."

Li Mubai was massaging his temples.

Li Qingyao wasn't at all shy being around him. She would often make his face flush in embarrassment.

She was messing with him!

Fortunately, after today, she would return back to work in the company. If not, if she does tag along every day, he would be the one to suffer. Sooner or later, he would be digging his own grave.

"Um..."

Just as they were about to leave the playground, the duo of grandfather and granddaughter who were not far away, caught Li Mubai's attention.

He set his eyes on the grandfather and granddaughter pair.

Well... The granddaughter was quite beautiful...

In urban fiction novels, it was a very common occurrence for the protagonist to show off before the duo.

The old man wore an ancient-looking robe. His face seemed pale because of his unstable cultivation base and poor vitality.

The girl next to him was about 18 or 19 years old.

She had beautiful jet-black long hair hanging down behind her.

Her half long-sleeved cotton shirt with a pair of denim shorts show-cased her alluring figure. Her pair of snow-white long legs could tingle one's heart.

The girl was indeed quite stunning, with good facial features and her temperament seemingly that of a girl-next-door, and her spirited eyes were actually a little too cute to look at.

Her skin seemed as pale as snow.

The same as snow-white.

Almost sickly white.

Moreover, Li Mubai knew this duo from his predecessor's memory.

They were from the Ye family in the Imperial Capital.

Of course, the Ye family had nothing to do with the Ye Xuan he had put to death.

The Ye family was also a military family of the Xia country.

This old man named Ye Junya, and his grandpa, Li Kunyuan, were once comrades-in-arms.

However, Ye Junya had a superior status to his own grandpa, Li Kunyuan.

When Li Mubai was a child, Li Kunyuan once took him to visit the Ye family.

As for the girl next to him, she was called Ye Zixiu.

She was Ye Junya's granddaughter, who had come to study at Jinghai University.

From what Li Mubai remembered, according to the plotline of the original novel, Ye Junya was seriously injured in his early years and was suffering from internal injuries and had limited time to live.

He wanted Ye Zixiu to attend Jinghai University, and he now came to take a stroll here.

What the duo had never anticipated was his internal injuries to abruptly flare up here in Jinghai.

When Ye Junya was in a desperate and critical condition, he was rescued by Ye Xuan.

And then this had become a significant occasion for Ye Xuan to show-off.

Ye Xuan's cultivation base then rose and he made a breakthrough to the Hua-Jin level, shocking Ye Junya.

Of course, Ye Junya wasn't shocked seeing Ye Xuan's rise in cultivation base.

Someone in the Hua-Jin level wasn't noteworthy in Ye Junya's eyes.

He was rather shocked at the pace at which Ye Xuan made a breakthrough. If someone could make a breakthrough at such a speed, it would be a remarkable thing.

So he assigned Ye Xuan to become the instructor of the Dragon Soul assault team.

Li Mubai then gradually rose to the rank of a major general and at one time, he even made huge contributions.

But now that Ye Xuan was dead and his bones were cremated by him, doesn't that mean Ye Junya would have no choice but to die here in Jinghai due to his internal injuries flaring up?

Li Mubai thought to himself and couldn't help but sweep his eyes towards the duo.

"Huh? Brother, Isn't that Sister Zixiu and Grandpa Ye?"

Li Qingyao also noticed the duo at this time.

Just like Li Mubai, she had also paid a visit to the Ye family several times.

The only difference between the two was that she was still in touch with Ye Zixiu.

The two were besties.

"Come on, brother. Let's go over and greet Zixiu and her grandpa!"

As Li Qingyao pulled his arm over, Li Mubai naturally did not refuse.

After all, Ye Zixiu was also the heroine with 98 charm points, and 1700 Qi Luck points.

He had no reason not to accept...
