Chapter 2520 - 738: Elder Qi
Just like that, Mo Jiuli stayed here for three more days. During these days, she learned that this old man with the white beard was named Qi Nan, and later Mo Jiuli simply called him Elder Qi. As for where Elder Qi came from, he didn’t disclose, and Mo Jiuli didn’t inquire...
The reason Mo Jiuli extended her stay for three days was entirely because Elder Qi loved her barbecue. She had promised him, so she kept her word. Thus, over these three days, Elder Qi went out hunting a lot, and Mo Jiuli cooked the prey in various ways for him, leaving Elder Qi so full that he didn’t want to move...
Mo Jiuli decided to leave tomorrow, so tonight’s dinner was exceptionally rich. After they finished eating, Elder Qi lay back with a comfortable hum, noticed Mo Jiuli still barbecuing, and couldn’t help but ask, "Little Girl, why are you still barbecuing?"
"Elder Qi, I plan to leave tomorrow, so tonight I’m grilling more to leave as snacks for you!" Mo Jiuli said while continuing to barbecue.
Upon hearing this, a meteor flashed across Elder Qi’s eyes, and as he looked at Mo Jiuli barbecuing with her head down, his gaze was filled with a bit of affection. Although Mo Jiuli didn’t see it, Di Minghan and Little book clearly did...
They always felt that this Elder Qi was somewhat mysterious, or perhaps he might know Mo Jiuli, because when Mo Jiuli previously asked about the Mo Clan, Elder Qi’s look seemed off. Ever since then, Di Minghan often noticed Elder Qi looking at Mo Jiuli with a gaze filled with elder-like affection for juniors. Di Minghan thought it wasn’t just his imagination...
"Ah, you’re really thoughtful, Little Girl. You even prepared some snacks for the future. If it weren’t that you just got here, I’d really want to keep you by my side as a disciple, hahaha..." Elder Qi said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuli smiled without speaking. She felt no malice from Elder Qi, and he was even very kind to her. Sometimes, without her asking, Elder Qi would slowly tell her what he knew. Through these three days with Elder Qi, she gained a lot, which made her treat Elder Qi kindly. She was just like that; to those who were good to her, she may not express it with sweet words, but she would always keep it in her heart and use every possible opportunity to repay their kindness...
Mo Jiuli grilled almost all the prey Elder Qi had brought back, turning all of it into grilled meat jerky, then packed them into bags. Finally, she placed them in an ordinary Space Ring and handed it to Elder Qi, saying, "Elder Qi, here, this should be enough for you to eat for a long time..."
Elder Qi received the Ring, glanced at it, then put it away. He looked at Mo Jiuli, thought for a moment, took out a white Token, blank on the surface, and said to Mo Jiuli, "If you ever encounter trouble at Yuhai Academy, take this out; it might help you!"
Mo Jiuli was surprised to hear this and looked at Elder Qi. Seeing her expression, Elder Qi coughed and said, "Specific use, I’m not too sure either. This was given to me by an elder of Yuhai Academy; who knows if it’ll be useful!"
Mo Jiuli smiled at Elder Qi and said, "Thank you, Elder Qi!"
She chose not to expose Elder Qi’s awkwardness. Although she didn’t know the Token’s purpose, Mo Jiuli had some suspicion about Elder Qi’s identity. This old man might indeed be an elder of Yuhai Academy himself; otherwise, why the awkward behavior...
