Chapter 146 Ganyu's Mother Returns
Chapter 146 Ganyu's Mother Returns
The morning sun was shining. At this moment, inside the Luhuachi Cave, Ganyu was holding the hand of Ye Li, who had just woken up, and they walked down the mountain stairs to the foot of the mountain. Her excited look made Ye Li, who had just woken up, feel puzzled.
"No, Ganyu, why did you wake me up so early in the morning? Is today some special day?"
Ye Li asked with doubt in his voice, while Gan Yu gently raised a finger and made a small sound.
Seeing Ganyu looking like she had some big secret, Ye Li became even more confused.
Could it be that the girl in front of him saw something big while he was away, and did it secretly for a long time, and was only willing to expose herself in front of him this morning.
Ye Li began to have wild thoughts in his mind, and he thought of all kinds of scenarios. However, these were just guesses, and Ye Li would be grateful to Morax if he could realize any of them.
Just as Ye Li was thinking, Ganyu had already pulled Ye Li to the entrance of the cave and stopped.
Ye Li saw Ganyu stop and followed Ganyu's gaze towards the door. He saw that his mother Gui Zhong was also waiting near the cave entrance. All the outrageous speculations in his mind were completely wiped out.
"Mom, didn't you say you were going to meet a very important person today? Is she going to come to our house in person?"
The guess proposed by Ye Li has an 80% chance of being true. After all, Gui Zhong has been waiting at the door of the cave mansion, so he has no choice but to make such a guess.
Gui Zhong turned his head and looked at Ye Li and Gan Yu who were standing five meters away. Seeing that Ye Li didn't notice that he was holding his hand, Gui Zhong, who was used to the state of Morax and his son, didn't care at all and explained to his child's question:
"Hasn't Ganyu told you yet? Today is the day her mother is coming back."
Gui Zhong's words made Ye Li suddenly realize something. He thought about it and immediately knew the whole story.
"No wonder Ganyu is so excited today. It's been more than 20 years since we met. But it's just a meeting. Why did you wake me up so early in the morning?"
Ye Li still complained a little. After all, his clone was lying down last night due to the high intensity of alchemy, so he had to make pills on his own for almost five hours to complete this month's performance. He was so busy that he fell asleep after one o'clock in the morning.
Ye Li picked up the schedule hanging on the token and looked at the current time. It was already past six in the morning and six hours of sleep was not enough.
Ganyu looked at Ye Li taking out the token to check the time, her face slightly reddened. Although she went to bed at 6 pm last night and sat up at around 4 am this morning to prepare, she didn't notice that Ye Li usually went to bed very late.
Although she sometimes also works overtime, the situation is different. Ye Li’s small complaint is her fault.
Just when Gan Yu was about to say something, Ye Li simply took back the token and waved his hand:
"Anyway, today is Ganyu's happy day, so it's not nice for me to complain here, but I can't take it back now that I've said it, so let's just treat it as a small matter today and don't owe each other anything."
Looking at Ye Li's roundabout way of telling Ganyu not to take it seriously, Gui Zhong chuckled, then turned around and looked at the door where there was already spatial fluctuation. From the spatial fluctuation, he could feel a familiar aura that he hadn't seen for a long time.
As the doors opened from both sides, a vortex of space formed, and a tall woman wearing a blue and white robe and whose face was 80% similar to Ganyu walked out.
The long light blue hair fell down like a waterfall, and the unicorn horns on both sides of the head were a little bigger than Ganyu's. However, the front armor that was different from that of ordinary people and could completely kill Guizhong still made Guizhong feel a little uncomfortable.
As her whole figure stepped in, Ganyu's mother Ganlu officially stepped into the cave where her old friend helped raise her daughter.
"Long time no see, Ganlu. Thank you for all the information you collected outside. Also, thank you for the box of goods."
Gui finally stepped forward and said a few words of greeting, but his eyes were still fixed on someone's front armor, comparing it with his own growth over the years, but no matter how he looked at it, he still lost miserably.
"Guizhong, you don't have to be so polite. I should be the one to say thank you. Little Ganyu has been able to grow up healthily all these years thanks to your care."
Ganlu smiled and chatted with Guizhong about some trivial things from the past. Then she looked at Ganyu beside her, with tenderness and love in her eyes not concealed at all.
However, when Ganlu saw the handsome young man with gray hair holding her daughter's other hand, her eyes suddenly became sharp.
Ye Li instantly sensed a malicious intent and subconsciously tried to break free from Ganyu's hand to protect it. His movement was so fast that the two people present, except Ganyu, who was unable to react, saw it clearly.
Seeing Ye Li subconsciously stepping forward to protect her, Gan Lu retracted her serious and sharp gaze, and instead a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Ye Li noticed that the malicious intent had disappeared, but he still looked at the woman in front of him with great vigilance. Once Gan Lu made a move, he felt that he would open the shield first and then take action.
Gui Zhong came to Ye Li's side in an instant, patted his son's shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, Ganlu was just testing you. Also, she is very satisfied with Xiaoli."
Ye Li put away his vigilant eyes, and the rock spear that had condensed in less than a second in his hand disappeared, and his murderous aura was restrained.
Gui Zhong spoke up and comforted Ye Li, who was frightened like a little submissive. He looked helplessly at Gan Lu, who had become a mother and was still sticking out her tongue in front of him:
"I'm telling you, you're already a mother, can you please stop being so playful? Look how you scared my child."
"I am just testing Xiao Li for some future matters. He is doing very well."
"Alright, alright, I haven't seen you for many years and you're still the same. You haven't changed much."
"You are the same, but you have changed a little."
"Oh, it's changed a little, how should I put it."
Ganlu reached out and touched the unicorn horn on top of her head, straightened out the hair tangled in it, and said with a smile on her face:
"He has become protective of his shortcomings."
Gui Zhong simply rolled his eyes, expressing his helplessness at the naughty personality of his old friend.
……
Xumi, inside the library of the Jiaolingyuan.
No. 4 Ye Li took the certificate of teacher certification from the Great Compassion Tree King, and his expression twitched slightly. He said in a helpless tone:
"No, I just came back from running errands less than half a month ago, and you asked me to go teach."
No. 4 Ye Li looked at the Great Compassion Tree King who was quietly drinking the tea he brought from Liyue with a paralyzed look in his dead fish eyes.
"You have been in the library for almost two years. With your knowledge, you are fully qualified to be a teacher for some of the lower grade students in the Academy."
The Great Compassion Tree King sipped his tea gently with a gentle smile on his face. His pair of pure green eyes seemed to tell No. 4 Ye Li that his conscience would hurt if he rejected her.
"I know, I know. I will take care of this matter, but you have to pay me first. Also, don't think about buying on credit."
As No. 4 Ye Li said this, he casually took out a piece of Morax Fair Contract paper from the token, gently slapped it on the table, and pushed it to the Great Kindness Tree King in front of him with a cunning smile.
