The person on the other end of the line was incredulous: "You're crying so pitifully, being bullied to the point of being a stray dog, just so I'll plead for you?"
Elder Dan was blunt: "Of course, Vice Dean Liu is fierce, just like my senior sister. I've been beaten up by my senior sister since I was a child. I'm afraid of her. Only your intervention can change her attitude."
"Stray dog" sounds awful, but he's just being pragmatic.
Not to mention Team Leader Long was incredulous, even Zhu Fanfan was a little confused. She said she was pitiful, as if she had been bullied and had no way to survive, and that her way of seeking justice was to beg her grandmother to be lenient and give her a kind look.
This situation is like leading a squad of people, wearing bulletproof vests and carrying submachine guns, strutting out with great fanfare, only to go into the woods to shoot a bird. She found the scene quite absurd.
After a long silence, the person on the other end finally said, "Okay."
After saying that, Elder Dan hung up the phone. Only then did he feel relieved. He said to Zhu Fanfan, "Today we'll wait for the fire-type ability user to come and take him to the wilderness to find herbs."
Fortunately, he had the foresight to think that the moving and installation would take about a day, so he asked a fire-type ability user to come over today to help them improve Fanfan's pill quality.
Zhu Fanfan felt that Elder Dan's temperament meant he wasn't thinking about normal herb gathering: "There are no wild boars on that mountain, give up!"
Judging from the way Grandpa Dan and Grandpa Dan hit it off yesterday, as if they were old friends and wanted to become sworn brothers on the spot, her temper must be similar to Grandpa Dan's. He's childish and impulsive, and he's probably still thinking about hunting wild boars. Maybe he even wants to use his fire-type ability to roast a suckling pig or something. She's seen right through him.
Elder Dan was not discouraged even after being exposed: "What if there is? I found a helper. If we find it, we can just kill it and roast it. Let me tell you, the fire-type ability user I found is called Xi Yan. His barbecue is absolutely amazing. With the right seasoning, you'll never forget it after you've tasted it once."
Zhu Fanfan thought it was an exaggeration. She doubted Grandpa Dan's exaggerated claims and asked dismissively, "Do you even know how old you are?"
As expected, she guessed right. She knew that judging Grandpa Dan's behavior based on his temperament was always accurate. Both old men were very obsessed with food. Yesterday, Grandpa Dan's eyes were practically sparkling as he ate. Although she knew that her great-grandfather was an excellent cook, surely the Dragon Group's chefs were no slouch either? There must be something wrong.
Elder Dan replied, "From sixty to seventy years old, what's wrong?"
It's not that he wants to give a vague age, it's just that he's forgotten how old he is; he hasn't celebrated his birthday in a long time.
He had no other hobbies but eating, especially meat. However, the cook in the Dragon Group was infuriating. He said that the group leader wouldn't let him eat anything too oily or sweet, and only allowed him to eat a little bit of meat. He was forced to eat grass every day. He wasn't a rabbit. Did they not want him to live?
He only has one year left, so what's wrong with enjoying it for a year? It's not like he can't afford to eat well. This time, he finally managed to persuade the team leader to let him move out by teaching his apprentices. The team leader was worried that he would eat random things, so he asked Xi Yan to supervise him. If he wanted to eat well, he still had to build a good relationship with the little girl and rely on her to handle Xi Yan.
Zhu Fanfan expressed her disdain: "How old are you? Still crying and complaining. Is your team leader older than you? Are all the people in your Dragon Team old men?"
Elder Dan retorted, "Who says we're all old men? I'm still young! Stop talking about our Dragon Group. Maybe one day you'll join the Dragon Group too, and we'll even be in the same department."
Zhu Fanfan immediately replied, "Impossible. I'm going to become a new generation of miracle doctor in the hospital sooner or later. I'm not going to the Dragon Group. I heard that you have to do missions every day there. I'm not doing that."
Her life was already planned out. Before she turned ten, she would practice with her great-grandparents to accumulate experience. By the time she turned ten, she would be able to take pulses and master massage and acupuncture. She wanted to master all these skills while her great-grandfather was still alive.
Grandma's plan for her was to prepare for her first surgery at the age of twelve, and after becoming familiar with the work of the hospital at the age of fifteen, Grandma would retire and enjoy her old age at home. Her plan was to inherit Grandma's title of "miracle doctor" at the age of eighteen and gain everyone's recognition.
She learns martial arts because there are many areas in society that are not covered by the law, and violence is still the fastest and most effective way to resolve many issues. Therefore, she needs to protect herself and also needs an efficient method. She trains her mental strength because if she uses it well, it will be more powerful than martial arts. She is not interested in anything else for the time being.
Elder Dan disagreed: "Don't be so sure of yourself. I think you have a good connection with our Dragon Group."
Zhu Fanfan shook his head directly: "Impossible. The Dragon Group is not part of my life plan. At most, I will supply pills, and there is little chance of me dealing with them otherwise."
Elder Dan didn't say much more. Anyway, this girl would know he was right in the future. Life is unpredictable, and maybe she would even become a group leader. She wouldn't listen to anything he said now; she was too stubborn.
Zhu Fanfan immediately changed the subject: "I'll go prepare the medicinal herbs. Once the people with fire-type abilities arrive, we'll start refining pills. Grandma's angry, so we're not going out today; we'll stay home."
Elder Dan assured him, "It's alright. I've asked the group leader to act as a mediator. We can play around as we please. Your grandma won't say a word."
Zhu Fanfan glanced at Grandpa Dan: "My grandma never criticizes me, she only criticizes others."
Elder Dan: ...discrimination, he protested.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Is it still the Vitality Pill today? I'll go prepare my things first."
Elder Dan rebelliously said, "No need, we'll go up the mountain today. I guarantee your grandmother won't be angry. Our team leader is very capable and will definitely be able to appease her."
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "How old is your team leader?"
If someone can make a man in his sixties feel like he's in a safe haven, they must be even older. Is the Dragon Group a retirement home that only admits the elderly?
To everyone's surprise, Elder Dan said with great pride, "Our group leader is only forty years old, still a child."
Zhu Fanfan scoffed: "You're really something, a seventy-year-old man crying to a forty-year-old and expecting the other to seek justice for you."
Elder Dan wasn't embarrassed at all: "The capable should do more. As the group leader, he should help me solve my problems. He's the head of the family."
Zhu Fanfan was speechless. She thought she and her grandfather were thick-skinned, but they always handled their own affairs and wouldn't call their parents when they were wronged. She didn't expect there to be someone even more powerful than them, and they couldn't bring themselves to cry to someone younger than them.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "How much longer until Xi Yan arrives?"
