The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Since Ye Yongzhen returned to the secular world, his biggest daily worry was not the sluggish business at home, nor the "Chao Xi" group who came to disturb him from time to time.

It was the old butler Lin Bo who urged them to get married day after day!

Over the years, in order to prevent Lin Bo, who worked hard for the Ye family, from getting angry and hurting his health, Ye Yongzhen had participated in countless blind dates.

But it always ends in regret.

At first, Uncle Lin thought that the woman looked down on the older Ye Yongzhen.

But after understanding it, I found out...

It's purely Ye Yongzhen's fault!

Your conditions are average, yet you're still picky about others!

Don’t you know what’s going on at home?

It's good enough that someone wants it! Why are you complaining about this and that?

What Lin Bo could not accept the most was that the women had nothing but good things to say about Ye Yongzhen, but Ye Yongzhen was such a disappointment that he failed to seize the opportunity every time.

Including this blind date with "Miss Dong".

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Uncle Lin even followed him secretly.

But the result is...

When talking about marriage, Ye Yongzhen actually pointed at the coriander on the table that Miss Dong had picked aside, and said something about a fortune teller saying that he was destined to be unable to live with someone who didn't eat coriander for the rest of his life.

Even when Miss Dong picked up the coriander with chopsticks and ate it, Ye Yongzhen was like a madman, muttering nonsense like "It's too late, it's too late..."

In the end, the party just ended with a quick meal.

"What kind of woman do you like?!"

Uncle Lin was so angry that he slammed his palm on the counter in front of him and said angrily: "Over the years, tall, short, fat, thin, androgynous..."

"How many have I found for you through my connections?"

"You're not satisfied with this, and you're not satisfied with that. Do you really think you're the emperor?"

"Is this a concubine selection?!"

"This is a blind date! Do you understand what the word 'blind date' means?!"

Seeing that Ye Yongzhen was scolded by Uncle Lin, he didn't dare to talk back.

Gu Yi stood behind and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"I know that you studied under an immortal in the past and were exposed to many things that ordinary people would never be able to touch in their lifetime. But you also said that you have returned to the secular world and no longer care about the matters of cultivation."

"Please wake up, please!"

"When I follow the master, you will still be alone. How can I explain this to the master and the mistress in my grave?"

"Or... do you already have someone in your heart?"

Before Ye Yongzhen could reply, Uncle Lin said anxiously, "If you have one, bring it back quickly! What's its name? Where do you live? When do you plan to have the baby?"

Ye Yongzhen stroked his forehead, smiled bitterly, and simply continued, "I... indeed, I do have someone I like... but you also know that girls are reserved. If someone respects me, I naturally have to respect them, right?"

"Then you don't have to worry about this all the time."

Ye Yongzhen patted his chest and promised, "I guarantee you with my dignity. When the person has figured it out, I will bring him home as soon as possible!"

Uncle Lin stared at Ye Yongzhen quietly, which made him feel uneasy.

"I am old, but I am not confused yet."

Uncle Lin looked at Ye Yongzhen with pity and sighed, "You, just try to fool an old man like me with these words, but don't fool yourself."

"Your reputation in the dating world is already tarnished. I'll see if I can plead for you and arrange another blind date for you. If that doesn't work out..."

A glimmer of hope just rose in Ye Yongzhen's heart.

Then Uncle Lin snorted coldly, "Then keep going! Until you succeed!"

Gu Yi really couldn't hold it in any longer.

He turned around and walked outside the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion, set up a soundproof formation around himself, and inside he slapped his thighs, covered his stomach, and laughed like a fool.

This attracted strange looks from passers-by.

What happened to these two kids...

Is it possible that a ghost has possessed me in broad daylight...

Just when Gu Yi had laughed enough and was about to go back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qingxuan on the other side. She was also holding her belly and laughing with tears in her eyes, but no sound came out.

The two looked at each other.

The sudden silence may not be awkward.

It may also be a tacit understanding.

"You've always been by Old Ye's side, shouldn't you know all these things?"

"I understand! I just think it's funny to see the Master so obediently accepting a lecture. After all, with Master's personality, when has he ever given in?"

"That's true."

Back to the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion.

Gu Yi happened to meet the gaze of Ye Yongzhen, who looked at him for help.

That's enough laughter.

How can I sit idly by when my good brother is in trouble?

He immediately strode forward and said with a smile:

"Uncle Lin, you can rest assured. Old Ye is indeed an old lover outside. It's just that due to some personal reasons, he can't show his face in public now. Although Old Ye has returned to secular life, he has so many beautiful women that I can't count them even if I have two more hands!"

"Gu Yi, don't speak for him. We know this guy's character very well!"

"What I said is all true... Hey, Uncle Lin, do you still remember me?"

Uncle Lin looked the dazed Gu Yi up and down, put on a kind smile, and said, "I may be old, but I'm not confused yet."

"But judging by your appearance, you should be a disciple of an immortal like the young master, right?"

Gu Yi nodded hesitantly.

I didn’t expect that the first person to recognize his identity would be Uncle Lin!

It must have been forty years since we last saw each other, right?

"Gu Yi..."

Uncle Lin quickly walked out from behind the counter and came to Gu Yi. He rubbed his hands nervously, but a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Do you know a woman about this tall, very beautiful, with a mark on her forehead?"

Uncle Lin gestured a few times with his hands.

And listen to what he described.

Gu Yi immediately understood who this woman was.

Isn’t this Song Zhitao!

"If you say I know you, I do. If you say I don't know you..."

Gu Yi said with a bit of a smile: "I know her, but she may not know me."

"Then that old lover our young master mentioned..."

Lin Bo's eyes showed anticipation, and he asked nervously, "Is it her?"

"It may be, but it may not be."

Gu Yi gave a relatively pertinent answer.

"Then you can tell me."

Uncle Lin continued to ask: "What is the specific relationship between our young master and her?"

Originally, Ye Yongzhen had something to say, but after being glared at by Lin Bo, knowing that he was in the wrong, he forced a smile twice and quietly retreated.

However, when Uncle Lin turned his back, Ye Yongzhen winked at Gu Yi frantically.

The general meaning is: No matter what, let’s end this quickly!

"Uh......"

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, then glanced at Ye Yongzhen, whose eyes looked crazy as if filled with sand, and then looked at Lin Bo, whose face was full of expectation.

On one side is a good brother, and on the other side is Uncle Lin, with whom he had a few meals.

And Lin Bo was there after he returned to his body.

The first person to recognize him after more than forty years.

I really can't bear to deceive this old man...

Or, neutralize it?

Just tell the truth?

Gu Yi made up his mind and said seriously: "We live and eat together!"

puff--

Ye Yongzhen had just poured himself a glass of water and drank it, but when he heard this, he spat it all out in one gulp, not even having time to wipe his mouth. He looked at Gu Yi in disbelief.

"Hey! That's a great feeling!"

Uncle Lin's eyes suddenly turned into a line of smile, "I was wondering how such a beautiful girl would come to visit the young master after all these years. So that's how it is!"

"Master, you've been hiding this from me for so long. If you had told me earlier, wouldn't everything have been fine?"

Uncle Lin turned around and started lecturing Ye Yongzhen, who was standing there in a daze.

"They came to see you with good intentions, how could you not even offer them a meal? Look at what you said, it was so hurtful, it made me anxious just reading it!"

"But it's okay. Since the girl came a second time, I guess she didn't take it to heart."

He smiled and said, "When do you plan to get married and have children?"

“She, she, she…”

"Ok?"

"Well, her family is quite strict, no, not that fast..."

Ye Yongzhen was incoherent. He had already drunk some water, but he still felt thirsty.

Gu Yi, you did this purely on purpose, right?

Is it possible to say such a thing casually?!

If Song Zhitao knew about this, his life would be over?!

"Oh, then you can just make it a done deal first."

Uncle Lin advised earnestly, "As the old saying goes, women are weak by nature, but strong when they become mothers. Once you have a child, who can stop you?"

"She seems..."

Ye Yongzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked uncertainly, "Can't have children?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin's expression suddenly changed.

"Well done! Master, if you ask me, this kind of woman deserves to be scolded!"

"Women shouldn't look for someone too pretty. Just live a down-to-earth life..."

Ye Yongzhen originally wanted to ask Gu Yi to come up with a few excuses to avoid this topic, but he never expected that Gu Yi would bomb as soon as he opened his mouth, making it so...

"Well, Uncle Lin, I'm going to the cloth shop. I heard that a supplier is coming today. Xiaohong and Xiaolu may not be familiar with these things, so I'll go and check them for them..."

"You are busy, you are busy..."

Ye Yongzhen left this sentence and fled away in shame.

"Hey, Master! Master!"

Uncle Lin stood at the entrance of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion and shouted to the three departing figures, "If it really doesn't work out, Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu should also consider it!"

The old housekeeper was very concerned about the Ye family's inheritance.

On a spring afternoon, the sun is shining brightly and everything comes to life.

Even the wind blowing is very comfortable.

A shop called "Cailian Dessert Shop" is packed with people, and it is very lively. All this is thanks to the owner of this dessert shop, Miss Cailian.

Cai Lian is her name, just like Tie Niu Beef Noodles, the shop owner may not be called "Tie Niu", but the chef is very likely to be called "Tie Niu"!

Cai Lian is both the owner and the cook of this dessert shop.

Moreover, although the name of this shop is called Tangshuipu.

But they also sell a variety of snacks.

It is said that the pastries made by Miss Cai Lian with her unique traditional craftsmanship not only have an excellent taste and are suitable for all ages, but each bite can also reveal the unique flavor accumulated over the years. The sugar water she brews by hand is even sweeter than the spring days when flowers are in full bloom, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

Since opening, Cailian Dessert Shop has been packed with customers almost every day. In the early days, the desserts and snacks it made were in short supply!

But Ye Yongzhen, who also opened a business, was very envious!

However, Ye Yongzhen actually admired Miss Cailian a little bit in his heart.

With business so prosperous, Miss Cailian seemed tireless and was always smiling. When people complained about not having enough snacks, Miss Cailian went to work overnight to buy ingredients and make them. When people complained about the store not being cool enough, she created a frost array the next day...

In short, the dessert shop is not big and is basically run by Miss Cai Lian alone, but she can always make those diners who come to find fault with it submissive.

"Oh my, what a rare guest~"

"Last time, I saw Master Ye arguing with Grandma over a few eggs at the market. This time, he came to my dessert shop. It's a small business, and Master Ye has a big family and a lot of wealth. He won't make things difficult for me, right?"

A plain-looking woman, carrying a white cloth for wiping sweat on her shoulder, was warmly entertaining customers in the store. When she saw Ye Yongzhen coming, she immediately changed her expression and went out to greet him in person.

And this person is the owner of the dessert shop, Miss Cai Lian.

Seeing the provocative and unfriendly look on the man's face, Gu Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He leaned closer to Qingxuan and asked in a low voice, "Has Old Ye ever had an argument with this man before?"

Qingxuan hid the joy in her heart, her eyes wandering: "I think so..."

"What do you mean by 'I think so'?"

Gu Yi was speechless, "So is there or not?"

"If you insist."

Qingxuan affirmed: "Yes!"

"I'm very upset now and I don't feel like arguing with you."

Ye Yongzhen sighed and asked immediately, "Are there any more wolfberries?"

“Goji berries?”

Cai Lian blinked her eyes and said bluntly: "You have kidney deficiency!"

"Sister, how many times do I have to tell you this? I've explained to you time and time again that I didn't know those eggs were left for you by grandma, and I never forced her to sell me..."

Ye Yongzhen really wanted to start an argument with Cailian. He took a step back and held his forehead with his hand, saying, "I just came here to drink some sugar water. There's no need to look at me with disdain every time, right?"

"every time?"

Gu Yi continued to ask Qing Xuan: "I remember that Old Ye has a pretty good attitude. He would just chop down anyone he dislikes with his sword. He shouldn't make enemies with them, right?"

"You wouldn't understand."

Qingxuan turned her head to look the other way, pulled the corner of her mouth, and murmured weakly in a voice that only she could hear: "They quarreled when buying vegetables, quarreled when exchanging rice, and even quarreled when going out to buy soy sauce. Although I know Sister Ruolan wants to rekindle the master's fighting spirit, it really shouldn't be that serious..."
