But now he had to admire her. Everyone here had selfish desires, including him and this girl. But she was willing to give up and she understood the righteousness of the world.
Thinking of the woman's behavior this morning, even with a thick beard covering it up, the old man couldn't hide his hearty smile. "Miss Bai, don't call me grandpa anymore. Just call me Brother Meng. If you're not too young and I'm afraid you'd despise me, I'd like to follow Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's example and swear brotherhood with you in Taoyuan!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hammering down on everyone who was listening attentively.
Calling him Grandpa clearly meant he was twice as young as her. Calling him Brother Meng meant... it meant that Grandpa Meng, who was respected by the Chinese people and hailed as a national martial arts master, actually treated her as a peer!
Similarly, the sound was so loud that anyone present who was not deaf could hear it clearly. This meant that Meng Guang, who had a huge supporter behind him, took Bai Ling, a 24-year-old girl, under his protection.
"How can this be..."
Before Bai Ling finished her words, the old man's broad palm patted Bai Ling's slender shoulder as if he were an equal. "Why not? My words are my bond. Do you really dislike my age?"
Bai Ling was stuck in her throat when she heard the next sentence. She called him grandpa just because of Bai Xiaoxi's generational relationship, but her reaction and thinking were also very quick. She immediately called out with a smile, "Brother Meng!"
While cleaning the fish's internal organs and preparing to remove the 30-centimeter-long fish heart as Bai Ling instructed, she heard an old man's frivolous words forcing Bai Ling to say something against her will.
Looking up at the bearded old face, he shook his head and understood why the old guy said that, but he still couldn't help but snort, this guy who took advantage of his age to bully others.
As for the group of disciples behind Meng Guang, when they heard these words, they would have been dissatisfied with Bai Ling before. After all, she was a person without any special abilities, and looked weak and only relied on her mouth to persuade others. But now with Jiaozi and Yurou sitting down, they did not object at all. Even Feng Yuan did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he admired the woman's heart.
Since the master has made the decision, they naturally have to give enough respect to this woman named Bai Ling!
"Okay, okay!" Meng Guangda's words once again caused him to shout three times, then burst into laughter. He then sighed, "When this mission is over and we return to the Yanjing City base, I will definitely drink with you and chat happily until we are drunk!"
Bai Ling's starry eyes twitched, also with a smile, "I will definitely accompany you!"
After these words were spoken, although the tone was still calm and light, one could inexplicably hear a hint of the same boldness!
It was not until Meng Guang left that Bai Ling looked at the man who had just called her together with Meng Guang. Meng Guang had just looked at him specifically and nodded to him almost imperceptibly as a greeting.
The person who can make Meng Guang do this must be someone extraordinary.
The middle-aged man watched as those amber eyes, like glass, finally turned their gaze upon him, a faint smile on his face. He instantly looked more elegant and courteous. The fifteen-year-old boy standing next to him, with red lips and white teeth, actually waved at Bai Ling in a lively manner.
"Lady, do you remember me?"
