The second senior sister glared at the princess angrily but didn't say much.
Since her junior brother hadn't punished the young girl, he must have his reasons.
Of course, the main reason was that the freshly roasted meat had been snatched by this little girl.
Zi Bing didn't speak either, just secretly tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve.
She looked like a pet waiting to be fed…
"No rush, there's enough for everyone," Ye Fan said with a smile, trying to comfort her.
Watching the three young girls glaring at each other over food, Ye Fan couldn't help but think of his own three granddaughters from his past life.
They were only seven or eight years old that year.
Just like now, they were pestering him to cook them delicious food.
Unfortunately, the Ye Fan of that life was either cultivating or fighting, and his culinary skills were completely zero…
On the grassland under the setting sun, Ye Fan was fumbling with the roast meat on the rack, while his three granddaughters sat obediently nearby, watching.
Even though the roasted meat was incredibly unpalatable in the end, the four of them still ate with great joy.
Memories of his time with his granddaughters flooded his mind like a tidal wave, and Ye Fan's eyes welled up.
"The fire is a bit strong, it's stinging my eyes," Ye Fan pretended to fan away smoke, secretly wiping the moisture from his eyes.
Not long after, the meat was ready.
The two old men each grabbed a piece and squatted on the ground, continuing to eat, grease dripping from their mouths and into an anthill on the ground.
Ants: ???
While the two senior sisters ate elegantly, their speed was by no means slow.
On the other hand, the princess ate with gusto!
Perhaps back in the palace, she would still adhere to etiquette and eat more elegantly than the two senior sisters.
But now that she was out of the palace, she had truly let loose!
However, her mood at the moment was still a bit conflicted.
The roast meat was indeed incredibly delicious, the best she had ever tasted.
The problem was, this was the meat of her little darling…
On one side, there was longing and guilt for her little darling.
On the other side, there was the mouth-watering aroma…
After about a second of painful struggle, the princess let go.
Little darling, rest in peace!
I told you back then that we would be best friends forever.
This way is not bad either.
At least we'll never be separated, right?
Wuwuwu.
It's too delicious!!!
As she ate, the princess suddenly felt a pang of doubt.
She felt like she had forgotten something, but couldn't recall it for the moment.
What could it be…?
Before she could think too hard, her mind was once again filled with the aroma of the roasted meat.
Never mind.
Since she couldn't remember it, it probably wasn't anything important.
Eating was the priority!
On the other side.
"Master Xie Yan, I feel like we've forgotten something," the Second Elder suddenly asked.
Master Xie Yan paused and thought seriously.
"You're right," he nodded. "I also feel like we've forgotten something."
"Did you remember what it was?" the Second Elder quickly inquired.
"No," Master Xie Yan shook his head. "I haven't thought of anything."
"What a pity," the Second Elder said with some dejection. "I haven't remembered either."
"Then let's ask," Master Xie Yan turned his head. "Ye Fan."
"Master, what is it?" Ye Fan turned his head and asked.
"The Second Elder and I feel like we've forgotten something," Master Xie Yan said seriously. "But we can't recall what it is. Can you help us think about it?"
"Forgot something?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
The two old men left for dinner empty-handed, so it's unlikely they lost anything?
He and the two senior sisters had been in the inn and hadn't gone out, so there was no possibility of leaving anything behind.
After that, it was this little girl and…
Holy cow!
Where is Grandma Li?!
Ye Fan quickly scanned the courtyard.
Grandma Li was standing motionless in the distance.
Her face was devoid of all life…
[Detected that the target's hostility towards the host has disappeared, pressure effect canceled.]
The system popped out to make its presence known and then went silent again.
Grandma Li swayed, managing not to fall.
At this moment, her gaze towards Ye Fan was different.
Without making any move, he had easily suppressed her in place.
And now, without any action, the suppression on her had vanished.
This young man was definitely a super expert!
After finishing her roast meat, the princess was about to grab another piece when she saw Ye Fan staring blankly elsewhere.
She curiously turned her head and her gaze met Grandma Li's directly…
The princess finally understood what she had forgotten earlier…
"Grandma Li…" she called out, her expression somewhat awkward.
"Miss…" Grandma Li replied faintly, her eyes full of resentment.
"Grandma Li, come here." The princess trotted over, took Grandma Li's hand, and walked back. "The roast meat is delicious, come and eat with us."
She dared not look directly into the other's eyes.
The resentment was too strong…
"Elderly one, have a piece too," Ye Fan said, handing over a piece of newly roasted bear meat.
"Thank you, young sir," Grandma Li didn't stand on ceremony and immediately accepted it.
If the other party had wanted to kill her, it would have been a mere thought, and there would have been no need to go to the trouble of poisoning the food.
Besides, she had already eaten, and if there had been poison, she would be dead by now.
Of course.
The main reason was that it was too delicious…
When the meat was almost done, Ye Fan brought out the bear offal soup.
Everyone ate with immense pleasure, and even Grandma Li completely let go.
"By the way, I still don't know your name," the princess said to Ye Fan, finally remembering the question.
"My name is Ye Fan," Ye Fan said, then pointed to the others. "These two are my senior sisters, Zi Bing and Zi Qing."
"That kind old man is our sect's Second Elder," Ye Fan continued to introduce. "Next to him is… Master Xie Yan."
Upon hearing Ye Fan introduce himself, the two old men offered friendly smiles to everyone.
The Second Elder was fine; he looked like a normal person most of the time.
It was just this Master Xie Yan…
Perhaps due to happiness, the frequency of his left eyeball twitching noticeably increased…
Grandma Li nodded politely and quickly averted her gaze.
In her eyes, Ye Fan was undoubtedly the most powerful young man.
But in terms of fear, it had to be Master Xie Yan…
One more second of looking, and her heart couldn't take it.
"Greetings, grandfathers," the princess, however, politely greeted them.
Although Master Xie Yan's frantically twitching eyeballs still made her uncomfortable, she wasn't as afraid as before.
After Ye Fan finished introducing his group, it was naturally their turn.
"Miss," Grandma Li gently tugged at the princess's sleeve as she was about to speak.
Although the other party hadn't shown any malice yet, it was not impossible that they didn't know their identities.
It was best to be cautious when traveling.
"Don't worry, Grandma Li, I know what I'm doing," the princess understood immediately and replied in a low voice.
Grandma Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Although His Highness had let loose a bit since leaving the palace, she wouldn't be rash.
Hadn't she said that in the Nightfall Forest before? When traveling, one must be low-key and keep their identity secret.
Grandma Li picked up the bear offal soup and took a sip.
She had eaten too quickly earlier and was a bit choked.
"My name is Liang Rujing, the Ninth Princess of the Great Liang Kingdom," Liang Rujing said generously to Ye Fan and the others. "Beside me is my guard, Grandma Li."
"Pfft—!"
Grandma Li spat it out directly.
What?
Your Highness, what about keeping a low profile?
Why did you reveal everything???
