"Grandmother, I'm back!"
Zhu Lan opened the door and called out softly. Mo Yan and the others, who were following behind her, saw for the first time that Zhu Lan was … cautious?
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump …
The sound of a walking stick hitting the ground came from afar, and an old woman with grey hair and a serious face slowly walked out of the room.
"You're back."
"Um … Grandmother, these are the friends we met on our trip, Mo Yan, George, and Mark."
Zhu Lan nodded obediently, and after two seconds, she remembered to introduce Mo Yan and the others.
Soon, Zhu Lan's grandmother turned her attention to Mo Yan and the others. For a moment, the three of them felt like they couldn't breathe.
She was definitely a ruthless person!
Moyan and the other two greeted her with the etiquette of a junior. Then, they obediently stood to the side and allowed Zhu Lan's grandmother to examine them.
"… Um, let's eat first."
If it wasn't an illusion, it should have been a full two minutes before Zhu Lan's grandmother spoke slowly, then walked towards the dining room with the help of her walking stick.
"Tsk, I was so nervous that my legs turned to jelly." After Zhu Lan's grandmother's back was out of sight, Mark immediately leaned against the wall and said with lingering fear.
"Grandmother is quite strict with the younger generation, um … I'll just learn." Zhu Lan didn't know how to defend her grandmother, so she just went with the flow.
"Let's go in quickly, don't let the elders wait for too long." Joey patted Mark's lifeless face, then followed them in.
Mo Yan and the others sat in their seats without saying a word, obediently watching Zhu Lan and her grandmother busying themselves, not daring to help.
Just now, George had habitually wanted to go into the kitchen to help with the dishes, but he was directly rebuked by his grandmother's "go out and sit down".
George could tell that Zhu Lan's grandmother wasn't being polite, she was simply asking him to wait obediently.
After Zhu Lan and her grandmother sat down, the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food. Just from the surface, it didn't seem to lose to George's cooking at all.
"Let's eat!"
Grandmother gave the order and picked up her chopsticks first. Only then did Mo Yan and the others carefully pick up their chopsticks as well.
"Hmm?"
Mark had been trembling with fear ever since he entered the room. Under Zhu Lan's grandmother's powerful aura, he obediently picked up the vegetables in front of him with his chopsticks.
Then, he let out a strange snort.
Grandmother's gaze turned to her.
Mark was frightened and subconsciously chose to swallow.
Mark choked.
…
"I … I just thought that Grandma's cooking was too delicious, so I accidentally became anxious."
After gulping down a large glass of warm water, Mark finally swallowed the vegetables and tried to explain.
"Then eat more," Zhu Lan's grandmother said as she placed two plates of different vegetables in front of Mark.
As far as the eye could see, it was a sea of green …
Mark felt wronged. He really felt that the food was delicious, so he let out a surprised "Huh?".
However, looking at the three plates of vegetables that had already surrounded him, Mark still didn't have the courage to stretch out his long arm and grab a piece of meat to eat.
…
"Thank you for your hospitality!" x3
Mo Yan and the other two tacitly avoided the idea of staying at Zhu Lan's grandmother's house. Instead, they asked for the location of the only hotel in Shenhe Town that was open to the public.
"Thank you for taking care of and tolerating Zhu Lan, even though she hasn't grown much this time." Zhu Lan's grandmother's tone was still serious and serious.
Hearing this, Mo Yan and the other two could only choose to keep quiet. Hasn't grown much?
Your granddaughter is already the youngest genius trainer they've ever seen. Compared to Yu Long Du and Da Wu, she's not inferior at all. She even has an extremely high level of training.
They wondered how fast Zhu Lan had to grow to be able to receive a compliment from her grandmother.
Thinking of this, Mo Yan and the other two couldn't help but sympathize with Zhu Lan.
Then, they got up and left for the hotel.
"Rest well today. I'll be your tour guide tomorrow and show you around Shenhe Town," Zhu Lan said apologetically as she walked the three of them to the door.
"Go ahead, don't worry about us." Mo Yan nodded. From the corner of his eye, he saw Zhu Lan's grandmother walking over with a walking stick. Without saying anything else, he turned and left.
"Grandmother …" Zhu Lan turned around and said respectfully with her head lowered.
"Let's go. Let me see your growth during this time."
"Okay, grandmother."
When they reached the backyard, a Fiery-Bite Land Shark with a completely restrained aura slowly landed beside the two of them.
Seeing this, Zhu Lan also sent out her own Fiery-Bite Land Shark.
The two elfins clearly knew each other and even clearly knew what to do next. They both flew to the standard battleground in the backyard.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Lan's Fiery-Bite Land Shark fell to the ground pathetically. There were circles around its eyes and it had already lost the ability to fight.
Meanwhile, the other Fiery-Bite Land Shark stood quietly on the spot, almost unharmed. It looked at its companion on the ground with gratification in its eyes.
"Even though you didn't have a big breakthrough, there's obvious improvement in your control of your strength. You've also become more flexible in your battle tactics. These are the things you learned from the three of them, right?"
Grandmother said with certainty as she threw out another Windling Bell to heal the Fiery-Bite Land Shark's injuries.
Zhu Lan was taken aback. Actually, it was far more than that. However, she was already used to not refuting her grandmother's words. Because there was no point in doing so, she just kept silent, as though she had silently agreed.
"Then it's about time. We can go our separate ways now. I've already applied for you to be an investigator in the Mystical Alliance. Report to Lily of the Valley City in a week," Grandmother announced directly without any intention of discussion.
As Zhu Lan took care of the injured Fiery-Bite Land Shark, she silently clenched her fists.
"Grandmother, can the matter of being an investigator be pushed back a little?" Zhu Lan lowered her head and asked softly.
Time seemed to have frozen. The Fiery-Bite Land Shark and Windling Bell obediently did not make any sound.
After Zhu Lan finished speaking, she kept her head down and silently applied medicine to the Fiery-Bite Land Shark.
"… Why?"
After a long time, Grandmother asked calmly. Zhu Lan secretly heaved a sigh of relief that she did not directly reject her.
"Previously, the plan was to visit the three lakes and try to communicate with the Three Holy Mushrooms. Now, there's still the Wisdom Lake in the north that we haven't been to. Also … I've promised Mo Yan and the rest that I'll travel the three lakes with them. "
Zhu Lan did not hide anything in the end. Her experience with Grandmother since she was young told her that the more she hid, the angrier and more opposed her grandmother would be.
After a long period of silence, Grandmother said calmly again, "Then we'll do as you wish. But you'll only be an investigator for one month."
"Okay, thank you, Grandmother!" Zhu Lan was delighted as she hurriedly stood up and said seriously.
"You can have fun, but don't forget your mission. We used the power of the entire clan to nurture you, not to let you be someone's little girlfriend."
"I didn't!"
Zhu Lan blushed …
