Chapter 54: Do you know him?
Ye Fei smiled and introduced him to Ye Rui: "His name is Li, he's my new little brother!"
Ye Rui's face darkened: "What did you say? A newly acquired... underling?"
“Not bad.” Ye Fei pulled Li Yuan to her side: “We studied together at Lingfeng Academy. Although he is my younger brother, he is also my classmate.”
When Ye Rui saw his little Fei'er holding the boy's wrist without any hesitation, and recalling what happened in the manor today, a few fluctuations appeared in his eyes.
"You brat, don't you even know the principle of men and women not touching each other? Let go right now!"
Ye Rui glared at Ye Fei, who blinked, glanced at the expressionless Li Yuan, and chuckled, "Old man, you're too old-fashioned."
"Let go! Did you hear me?!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Seeing that Ye Rui was about to explode, Ye Fei had no choice but to let go of Li Yuan.
The boy looked down at his wrist, which she had just grabbed, his eyes flickering slightly.
Her cooperation eased the seriousness on Ye Rui's face slightly: "Little Fei'er, did you come back today specifically to visit your grandfather?"
"More or less, I had to deal with a few other things before that."
"Other matters?" Ye Rui realized the implication in Ye Fei's words and hurriedly asked, "You mean the engagement between Young Master Su and Ye Ning? Little Fei'er, listen to your grandfather's advice first. Grandfather knows you like Su Haochen very much, but Su Haochen is definitely not a good man. No matter how outstanding his cultivation is, you..."
Ye Fei understood Ye Rui's concerns, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly: "Do I look like the type to go back to an old flame?"
Ye Rui was speechless for a moment. The girl had a sweet smile and her bright eyes were free of any sadness. His little Fei'er seemed to be... not sad at all?
"Don't worry, I came back this time for two reasons: first, to visit you, and second, to get something back from Su Haochen. Whether he marries Ye Ning or not is none of my business." Ye Fei spread her hands, saying proudly, "Besides, I have to refute one thing you said—Su Haochen is fifteen years old and has the cultivation of a level five spiritual master, while I am thirteen years old and also have the cultivation of a level five spiritual master. He is not outstanding in front of me at all. You should praise me instead of him!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Rui froze on the spot.
"Old man? Old man, what's wrong with you?" Ye Fei saw Ye Rui's blank expression and waved her hand in front of him a few times.
Ye Rui suddenly realized what was happening and grabbed Ye Fei's hand in shock, asking, "Little Fei'er! You said you now have the cultivation of a fifth-level Spirit Master?!"
When Xiao Fei'er left the Ye Manor, she was a Level 4 Spirit Master. She's only been at the Spirit Wind Academy for about ten days, and she's already advanced again?!
Ye Fei smiled and nodded: "So don't praise Su Haochen anymore. You can praise me or my little brother. Li and I are both level five spirit masters."
"Alright! Grandpa won't praise Su Haochen anymore! Su Haochen is nothing compared to my little Fei'er!" Ye Rui laughed heartily, affectionately ruffling Ye Fei's head: "You've given Grandpa so many surprises today, Grandpa is very happy, extremely happy!"
Since they rarely saw each other again, Ye Rui naturally wouldn't let Ye Fei go so easily. The grandfather and granddaughter sat facing each other in the courtyard and chatted.
Li Yuan did not disturb the two, but instead sat alone on a stone bench not far away and closed his eyes to rest.
Ye Rui secretly observed the boy for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Little Fei'er, do you really only see him as your little brother?"
Ye Fei, munching on a sweet fruit, asked somewhat strangely, "Why do you ask that?"
“This boy is unpredictable, and Grandpa is worried he might hurt you.” Ye Rui expressed his concern, saying softly, “This name sounds more like a code or an alias… Little Fei’er, do you really know him?”
