Every time Pei Jun faced the old general's question, he would always give the same answer.
“I don’t care about their status or position. I always make friends based on my own wishes. I think Miss Nan and her friends are worth making friends with!” Pei Jun said.
The old general sighed. Pei Jun was a stubborn boy, but he was very capable. He was afraid that Pei Jun would be deceived.
"Alright, I'm not saying I'm questioning you, but you really have to be careful when making friends. Although I trust Miss Nan, some things are very difficult to handle!"
The old general said nothing more, and the two got into the car and headed towards the food street.
In the last ten minutes, the old general finally appeared on the food street.
"The old general has arrived!" Nangong Chen said.
The people present were initially in a rather gloomy mood, but they were all delighted to hear that the old general had arrived, and they quickly went over to check on him.
Pei Jun got out of the car first, nodded to Nangong Chen, and then won against the old general.
Everyone present expressed their welcome, and many businesses had prepared a sample gift for the old general.
"So much food? I estimate it would take a whole day to eat it all down the street!" the old general laughed.
Nan Xiangwan said, "Yes, the reason I invited you here today is so you can try the food on the food street. There's a wide variety here, so you can take your time eating!"
The old general laughed heartily, seeing that time was running out, so he decided not to keep Nan Xiangwan and the others behind.
"Let's go. This old man is better off staying here and trying the food himself. With you young people here, I find it a little hard to bring myself to eat!" the old general said.
Nan Xiangwan nodded, then immediately led his people away from the food street.
Fu Tingshen was watching nearby, never expecting that the old general would actually step in to help the people of Water Blue Star.
"What's going on? Has the old general already chosen the people from Water Blue Star?"
"Why should they help outsiders? They are outsiders. This planet is called Rose Star. Why should the old general help outsiders?" Fu Tingshen was very angry.
He had tried to curry favor with the old general, but the old man completely disregarded him and even mocked him.
Fu Tingshen originally thought that the old general was neutral and would not help anyone, but why did he appear in the food street when they were about to attack Xingfu Community?
"This might just be a coincidence," someone nearby said.
"Coincidence? Do you believe in coincidences?" Fu Tingshen sneered.
Such words are clearly self-comforting. The old general has never accepted any invitations, not even to the Ye family's banquet. He only reluctantly came, drank a couple of cups of wine, and then left.
But judging from the old general's demeanor, it's clear he's going to stay in the food street for quite a while.
"What should we do then? Since the military is here, we can't take any action!" someone next to him said.
"What else can we do? Are we supposed to attack the old general?"
Fu Tingshen gritted his teeth. Even if they escaped this time, they would definitely not let them off so easily next time.
Nan Xiangwan had already arrived outside the ward. Several key members of the Xingfu Community had arrived, and Ye Chaoqun was also waiting at the door.
"Sister Nan, you've all finally arrived!" Ye Chaoqun was very happy.
Ye Chaonan nodded to them. He was actually quite happy to see that Nan Xiangwan and the others had made a special trip to come here.
"Let's go, Grandpa is waiting for you inside!" Ye Chaonan led the way.
Nan Xiangwan inquired about Grandpa Ye's current health condition along the way. His health was actually not bad, but it would take a hundred days to recover from a broken bone.
“Grandpa broke his leg and can’t walk yet. He was also a little frightened that day, so he will have to stay in the hospital for another half month!” Ye Chaonan said.
Nan Xiangwan frowned. It was just a minor injury, why did she have to stay in the hospital to recuperate?
If he remembers correctly, the Ye family has its own private doctor. Wouldn't it be safer for Old Master Ye to stay with the Ye family?
However, Nan Xiangwan soon realized something else: the Ye family might not be as safe as the hospital now.
"Actually, Grandpa just wanted to send a signal to the outside world that he was seriously injured!" Ye Chaoqun said.
After he said that, Nan Xiangwan understood.
Grandpa Ye sent a false signal to the outside world, making them lower their guard.
Those guys all thought that Old Master Ye was about to die, and that this would give them away, giving them a chance to deal with him.
Zhan Siyu said, "Seeing that the old man is doing well, we are relieved!"
The old man was indeed in quite good condition; when they saw him, he was even chatting and laughing with them.
"Why are you all here? It's normal for my old bones to get injured occasionally. There's no need for you to come all this way to see me. How's the food street situation going? Why don't you have time again?" the old man said.
It seems that Grandpa Ye is really concerned about the food street, which is why he asked so many questions.
"Everything went smoothly. The old general just went to the food street and said he wanted to try all the food on the street!"
"If the old man recovers, we can go and enjoy the food on our food street together!" Nan Xiangwan said.
Grandpa Ye was somewhat surprised, not expecting the old general to get involved in this matter as well.
Military bases typically don't interfere in such matters, so why was Nan Xiangwan able to involve the old general?
Old Master Ye had a bad feeling. Could something have happened inside Rose Star?
This is precisely why Nan Xiang came to see Old Master Ye today; he needed to tell the Ye family about the interstellar magical beasts so that they could prepare in advance.
After all, with the seven major families targeting Old Master Ye like this, why not take advantage of this opportunity to kick him while he's down?
"Old man, are you wondering why the old general would help us?" Zhan Siyu asked.
Seeing that Zhan Siyu was so honest, Old Master Ye nodded.
"That's for sure. He wouldn't even come to our Ye family's banquet. I had to invite him for half a month before he reluctantly came to have a couple of drinks, because he was vehemently opposed to getting involved in the power struggle between the major families!"
"But if he walks towards the food street, doesn't that mean he's protecting the food street for you?"
"Did something happen while I was in the hospital?"
Grandpa Ye voiced his doubts. Even though he had been in the hospital for several days, he was still well-informed about the outside world and had not heard anything unusual.
Nan Xiangwan let out a breath, intending to tell Grandpa Ye everything in detail.
