Around ten in the evening.
Ye Fan saw that there was nothing much to do and thought about visiting the lantern festival.
However, upon seeing the two elders playing with ants beside him, he had to give up the idea.
What if these two grandpas wanted to tag along then? That would be a headache...
"Ye Fan, why don't we go out and have some fun?" the Second Elder said, retracting the mutated ants back into the porcelain bottle and looking up.
"It's also a good time for us to buy some medicinal herbs," Master Xie Yan added.
Ye Fan had no choice but to take the two elders out.
Otherwise, if they ran out on their own later, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?
He couldn't possibly lock them up at home and not let them go out, right?
Besides, one of these two grandpas was at the Foundation Establishment stage and the other at the Golden Core stage; he couldn't keep them confined anyway...
Although it wasn't the first day, the night of the lantern festival was still incredibly bustling.
While it hadn't reached the point of being overcrowded, it was getting close.
"Second Elder, Master Xie Yan, what medicinal herbs are you planning to buy?" Ye Fan asked casually.
"Haven't decided yet," the Second Elder replied absently, his eyes scanning the passing crowd.
"Feels like nothing specific has come to mind," Master Xie Yan echoed, his actions identical.
Ye Fan: ???
Are you kidding me?
Ye Fan had no choice but to keep a close eye on the two grandpas, fearing they might suddenly act up.
A young woman was walking towards them, holding her child's hand.
The two old men suddenly darted forward, startling the pair!
"Young lady, you are ill!" the Second Elder said earnestly, staring at the young woman's chest.
"That's right, this area of yours is very serious," Master Xie Yan said, lowering his head and pointing to another spot. "It needs immediate treatment!"
"Mommy, these two grandpas are a bit strange," the child said weakly, shrinking behind his mother.
The young woman was bewildered...
The air suddenly fell silent.
The two old men stared intently at the young woman's chest with solemn expressions!
"Ah—!"
The young woman's scream broke the silence.
"You perverts, get away!"
She retreated fearfully, shielding her child tightly behind her.
Master Xie Yan looked up.
Their eyes met.
His left eyeball was twitching frantically back and forth.
The young woman's legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed to the ground...
"Wah—!"
Where had the child ever seen such a scene?
He burst into tears on the spot from fright!
"It's inevitable for worldly people to judge by appearance, but they will know you are good people in the future," the Second Elder said, patting Master Xie Yan's shoulder and offering quiet comfort.
"It's alright, I don't blame them," Master Xie Yan smiled slightly, his tone incredibly calm.
However, as he smiled, his mouth immediately turned into a horizontal 'S' shape again.
"Wah—!"
The child cried even harder.
Even the young woman was brought to tears by fright!
"Sorry, sorry!" Ye Fan rushed forward in two steps, pulling the two grandpas aside.
Seeing Ye Fan, the mother and child finally stopped crying.
After all, Ye Fan's appearance was incredibly striking, and beautiful sights always brought a sense of peace.
The young woman dared not linger and quickly ran off with her child...
"Second Elder, Master Xie Yan!" Ye Fan turned around, a look of helplessness on his face. "I know you two have excellent medical skills, but you can't do this!"
"If they are sick, they will naturally find a physician to treat them," Ye Fan said as if coaxing a child. "There are so many people in the world, you can't possibly treat them all, right?"
"What Ye Fan says seems to have some truth to it," the Second Elder nodded, then looked at Master Xie Yan.
"I also think he's right," Master Xie Yan agreed.
"So, you can't just rush up and offer to treat people like this later, okay?" Ye Fan quickly cautioned.
"Mm!"
"Okay."
The two grandpas nodded repeatedly.
Ye Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Based on their past behavior, these two grandpas were quite easy to appease.
There shouldn't be any more trouble.
However, the priority now was to quickly buy the medicinal herbs and take them back; every extra minute outside was dangerous!
"Right, have you thought of..."
Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, the two old men once again darted out with a 'whoosh'...
Ye Fan felt utterly miserable...
"You are ill!" the Second Elder said, pointing at a burly man's shoulder.
"You need to get it treated quickly, or your arm will be ruined!" Master Xie Yan, rubbing his bald head, carefully examined the man's shoulder.
"Scram! You're the one who's ill!" the big man pushed the two of them away.
Walking peacefully on the street, and suddenly two people jump out and say he's ill.
Who wouldn't get angry?
"Your arm really is ill!" the Second Elder grabbed the big man's arm. "Are you feeling a lot of pain in your arm right now?"
The big man almost swore!
Nonsense!
If you're grabbing my arm like this, how could I not feel pain?!
This is truly bizarre!
How could an old man have such strength in his grip?
"Are you two bored to death?" the big man asked, trying to pry the Second Elder's hand off while cursing. "If you don't leave, I'll..."
Before the big man could finish speaking, another hand appeared on his arm.
"Do you feel even more pain now?" Master Xie Yan looked up and asked the big man earnestly.
Just as the big man was about to curse, his body suddenly trembled!
What the hell!
What kind of bizarre creature is this?!
Looking at Master Xie Yan's frantically twitching eyeball, the big man felt his legs go a bit weak...
"Excuse me, big brother, sorry, sorry." Ye Fan quickly pulled the two grandpas away.
He pointed at the two grandpas, then at his own temple, and shook his head with a frown.
The big man was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood!
So, these were just two crazy old men!
"Forget it, forget it," the big man shook his numb arm. "If your family members are like this, why don't you just keep them at home... I have a good temper, so I won't bother with you."
The big man never dared to look at the two grandpas.
And after saying that, he quickly ran off.
Ye Fan turned around again.
He didn't say anything, just looked at the two grandpas.
"Sorry, Ye Fan, I couldn't help myself just now," the Second Elder said, his tone a bit awkward, perhaps feeling he had acted inappropriately.
"Ye Fan, you know, as physicians, we tend to react this way when we see a patient," Master Xie Yan also said with a forced smile.
Ye Fan averted his gaze.
Speak if you must, but don't smile at me!
"Ye Fan, we promise we won't do it again!"
"That's right!"
After the repeated oaths and guarantees from the two grandpas, Ye Fan's expression finally softened a little.
However, for safety's sake, he simply held one grandpa in each hand.
The two grandpas, true to their word, restrained themselves from rushing out even when they saw people who appeared to be ill.
But Ye Fan still couldn't be happy.
"Look, that young man is actually walking around with two old men!"
"Oh, so he is! Are they his grandfathers?"
"Are you stupid? Would you hold hands with your grandfather when you go out?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I've heard some men have special hobbies, they don't like young girls, but they like big men."
"Good heavens, if that's the case... this fellow's tastes are not just a little bit heavy?"
The women around them saw this scene and shook their heads in pity.
Such a handsome young gentleman, and he had such preferences.
What a waste!
It was truly a sin!
There were also a few girls who, instead of pitying, had their eyes shining.
As for what they were thinking, only they themselves knew...
At this moment, Ye Fan wanted to find a pillar and smash his head against it!
What a sin he had committed!
Forget it...
He'll endure it, he'll accept it...
A luxurious carriage approached.
The common people quickly moved to the sides upon seeing it.
It was clearly the carriage of a wealthy and powerful family; they had to make way quickly!
The carriage curtain was pulled open, and an old man looked out at the street scenery through the window.
Although the two grandpas were physically restrained, their eyes were still constantly scanning the crowd.
So many people who were ill!
They really wanted to help them with treatment!
But Ye Fan wouldn't allow it...
Ye Fan is a good friend, and we shouldn't do things that make a good friend unhappy.
This is so difficult...
Suddenly, their gazes fell upon the luxurious carriage.
