Chapter 325 Casual Chat
“Miss Wu You, you’ve come home. May I call you Youyou, just like Xiang Yi does? You can call me Granny Cen, just like you do outside.”
After brushing the dust off Fang Duobing's knees, Granny Cen turned to look at Wu You.
Wu You didn't know what Granny Cen meant, but it was just a form of address, so she readily called out, "Granny Cen."
"Alright, come on, you two, don't just stand here like idiots. Let's go sit in the pavilion and chat."
“Okay.” Wu You and Fang Duobing followed Granny Cen into the pavilion.
There were originally four stone benches in the pavilion, but now a reclining chair has been placed next to them. Qi Mushan lies on it, swaying back and forth, his eyes darting between the various wine bottles. Apart from the wine, most of the other items on the ground have been moved elsewhere.
"Youyou, Xiangyi is clumsy with words and didn't explain clearly just now, how long have you known him?"
Li Lianhua poured a cup of tea into each of the five cups on the table, and Granny Cen handed one to Wu You.
"Thank you, Granny Cen." Wu You quickly accepted the gift with both hands: "I've known him for 10 years."
"We're all family, no need for thanks. You've known each other for 10 years, so judging from your appearance, you must have known about my Xiangyi family since you were fourteen or fifteen, right?"
"Let me think... Ten years ago, it was two years after the establishment of Xiangyi's Sigu Sect, when Xiangyi's martial arts were considered the best in the world, and his reputation was soaring. It was also..."
Granny Cen stopped talking after that.
“Master’s wife, why bring up things from that time? There was always some youthful impetuosity in what we did back then.”
Li Lianhua quickly poured tea for his master's wife, feeling somewhat embarrassed that she was talking about what she had said when she was young, right in front of her.
"There's nothing wrong with being young and impetuous. Young people should act like young people. Look at you, you're not that old, but you act all old and incompetent."
Qi Mushan, who was standing next to him, chimed in, ignoring the tea Li Lianhua had poured for him and continuing to sip from the wine bottle he had been drinking from.
“Your master is right. It’s normal for young people to be lively and active. Don’t be like us, staying in one place all day without going out.”
“I didn’t learn that,” Li Lianhua declared beforehand. “Over the years, I have traveled through countless mountains and rivers and seen many beautiful sights.”
“Grandma Cen, actually, I didn’t meet Li Xiangyi at the time you mentioned.” Wu You’s words drew the attention of several people.
Wu You couldn't quite understand Li Lianhua's expression, but since he didn't say anything to tell her not to, Wu You continued talking.
"If not at that time, then when? Could it be?" Fang Duobing had an immature guess.
Yes, that's exactly what you think.
"After the East Sea Battle, Li Xiangyi, no, Master, disappeared. Everyone thought Master was dead, but you unexpectedly met Master who was hiding his identity."
With the two seniors present, even with Li Lianhua sitting right in front of him, Fang Duobing addressed his master as "Master" very naturally, completely unlike his usual self.
"Yes, but not entirely." Wu You agreed, but not entirely.
"It's not entirely correct. The reasoning is correct, but some parts are wrong. Wu You, tell me where it's wrong." Fang Duobing felt that his analysis was quite correct.
"I guess Youyou meant that after the East China Sea War, she met Xiangyi, who had not yet gone into hiding."
"Old woman, Xiang Yi is sitting right here. Just ask him directly. Why are you all guessing like this?" Qi Mushan couldn't understand why Xiang Yi, who was sitting right there, didn't ask him.
