"After all this talk, these people have finally shown up." Old Madam Mu beckoned to them. "Come in, all of you. It's the New Year, are you trying to hide from everyone?"
Although Ye Mingshi said she was worried, she now stepped forward to offer New Year's greetings to everyone.
"Grandma Mu, we didn't hide. If we had known you were all here, we would have come earlier. We just went to see a movie. Let me tell you, Cat's acting is amazing. You should go see it sometime."
Grandma Mu said with a touch of pride, "Cat can do everything well, so it's not convenient for me to go to the cinema. I'll watch it at home another day when I have more free time."
Old Man Ye suddenly said, "You are all very busy people now, especially Cat Cat. I can't find her even if I want to."
The cat looked at Old Man Ye and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Old Man Ye chuckled, "I've heard that the Jingmen sect settled on the outlying island and turned it into a paradise on earth. I've wanted to go and see it for a long time, so I had to ask you."
The cat raised an eyebrow. "Why are you asking me? If you want to go, just go. I'm not charging you a ticket."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Old Man Ye choked for a moment.
"Haha, Old Ye, you've always been the type to take things without asking, but this time you're being reserved. However, the cat isn't buying it." Old Madam Mu was the first to tease.
Old Man Ye blushed. "What's so funny? Don't tell me you're not curious... Anyway, I've already told Cat Cat that I'm going there in a few days. The weather's nice on the island, so I'll stay there. Don't miss me!"
Old Man Ye had indeed been thinking about it for a long time, but going to an outlying island isn't something you can just do whenever you want.
There are powerful creatures there, and now it's the territory of the Shock Sect. If they want to go, they naturally need to ask for the master's permission.
I never expected the cat's owner to be so generous.
Professor Gu suddenly said, "Since everyone is here, let me say a few words... The matter of the Sea Eye can be considered to have come to an end. Even the head of the family has passed away. Heh... it's time for us old buddies to retire after all."
Professor Gu's words drew the attention of the previously somewhat scattered crowd, who turned to look at him.
Ye Mingshi said, "Professor Gu, you are our bright banner, which will never fade."
Professor Gu glanced at him and said, "No need for nice words. Back then, we wanted to figure out the sea eye, but we didn't have enough resources or the researchers' technology. We held onto this mystery for so many years before you finally solved it."
"If I can live to see the Eight Gates as they are today, see the Ten Mansions of the Southern Sky, and see the Taidou Biology, then even if I close my eyes now, I will have no regrets."
Gu Zeyi couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, it's the New Year, please don't say such unlucky things."
Professor Gu smiled and said, "Alright, I was just speaking from the heart... Last year, the Eight Gates accomplished many great things, and you all did a good job. In short, the Eight Gates must not be interrupted in the future, and must rise to the top. You guys who run the company cannot slack off either."
"As for the rest of us, it's time to retire comfortably."
Professor Gu's words were a summary.
After hearing his explanation, Madam Mu, Old Man Ye, and Old Man Tan all looked on with approval. Their wishes had been fulfilled with the end of the Sea Eye project.
At this moment, Professor Gu specifically called out Mu Jin's name, and the latter looked at him.
"Mu Jin, do you know what I'm about to say?" Professor Gu asked.
Mu Jin nodded calmly, "I know what I'm doing."
Professor Gu smiled and said, "Even if you know, I still have to say it again. I won't advise you against your discord with the Song family boy, but if you can avoid affecting the Piaomen, then don't. The Eight Gates can have their disagreements, but they can't be at each other's throats. That would not benefit any of the Eight Gates."
Mu Jin: "Mm."
Professor Gu added, "Alright, you lot, if you don't want to listen to our nagging, go do your own thing."
Old Man Ye beckoned Ye Mingshi over.
Ye Mingshi: "Grandpa, Professor Gu told us to each do our own thing, why are you asking me to do something?"
Old Man Ye patted his head. "I'm your own grandfather, what's wrong with me calling you? Come here and see that girl... how is she?"
Ye Mingshi glanced at her. She was quite a nice girl, wearing a cheongsam, standing tall and graceful, and seemed very well-mannered. It was rare to see a girl with such temperament these days.
"It's alright," Ye Mingshi said conservatively.
Old Man Ye said, "That's the Tan family's daughter. She came here last winter for medical treatment and stayed for the New Year. You, lad, stop doing nothing all day. The girl isn't familiar with this place. Why don't you take her around and show her around?"
Ye Mingshi's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what her grandfather was up to!
He does all the right things every day! But in front of the old man, the most serious thing he does right now is probably bringing a wife home.
Ye Mingshi's head suddenly started to ache. "Okay, Grandpa, I'll remember this. I'll take her out to play in a couple of days."
As she spoke, Ye Mingshi tried to slip away.
Old Man Ye, however, caught him and brought him back. "Where are you going! Don't try to fool me. You're still too green! Go now! If you say 'in a couple of days,' you'll be gone in a couple of days."
Ye Mingshi had no choice; it would be quite embarrassing for him to be scolded by his grandfather in public.
He had no choice but to walk towards the girl.
...
Madam Mu also kept the cat, and she even called it to her bedroom alone.
Lu Yi, relying on the fact that he was a dog, successfully sneaked in.
