Chapter 163 – Gifting a phone to Han Xiangzi
“It’s the Great Sage’s autograph! But Great Sage Sun’s handwriting is so ugly,” Xia Keke giggled and played around with the card in her hands.
Ye Zichen took a peek at the girl, “Keke, aren’t you curious at all?”
“Curious about what?” Xia Keke smiled, then placed the autograph into her pocket.
“Aren’t you curious about why someone in myths would appear in reality and even know me!?”
“Aiya, you’re talking about that,” Xia Keke smiled after a brief pause. “What’s there to be surprised about? I have always believed that Sun Wukong and the rest were real...”
“...”
Ye Zichen looked at her dumbly. He didn’t think that she was that sort of girl.
Was he supposed to call her naïve or...
But whatever, her not asking saved him needing to explain.
“Why didn’t Su Yan come with you?” Ye Zichen asked as the two of them walked side by side on the streets.
Xia Keke revealed an annoyed look as she pouted, “What? Don’t you like that I called you out alone?”
“It’s not that.”
This girl’s heart was truly like a needle under the sea, she would think all sort of things all of a sudden.
Ye Zichen pinched her cheek, while Xia Keke spoke, “Susu said that it’s her grandpa’s birthday. Don’t you need to prepare a birthday present or something?”
Old Man Su’s birthday.
Ye Zichen was stunned for a bit. He really hadn’t heard of that. With his relationship with Old Man Su, he had to offer a birthday present no matter what.
He didn’t have any more monkey wine on hand, so he must remember to ask the Great Sage for a few gourds of it when he gets back.
It wasn’t too much to ask for a few gourds of monkey wine when the Great Sage drank so much of his Wahaha, right?
Beep beep.
A car horn sound sounded out behind them. Ye Zichen and Xia Keke turned around, and saw a small buggy park on the side of the road behind them.
Wu Haoyu and Lin Ru ran over towards them side by side.
“Ye Zichen.”
“Brother Zichen.”
“You know them?
Xia Keke looked up in confusion. Ye Zichen nodded and revealed a faint look of helplessness.
If there was no surprise, they came to find him for the Lin family’s old man.
“If you guys came for Old Man Lin, then have nothing to talk about.”
Ye Zichen spoke up first. Both Lin Lin’s mockery towards him and Lin Hanben’s desire to use force to make him stay had triggered Ye Zichen’s bottom line.
He’ll only go and save the Lin family’s old man if he’s gone crazy.
He wasn’t a saint, and didn’t possess the kind of heart that cared about the world.
“Brother Zichen.”
Both of their expressions froze when they heard Ye Zichen’s words. They did come for Old Man Lin.
“Lin Ru, Wu Haoyu, you guys can’t not know how Lin Haoben and Lin Lin treated me, right?” Ye Zichen frowned.
Lin Ru bit her lips and said with a hint of apology, “Ye Zichen, I apologize to you on my second uncle’s and cousin’s behalf. Their actions were indeed too much, but my grandpa is innocent.”
“Old Man Lin is indeed innocent.”
“Then you...”
“But I’m also innocent?” Ye Zichen pursed his lips with a smile, then put on an expression that showed “I can’t do anything”.
“Ye Zichen!” Lin Ru roared, then shifted her gaze towards Xia Keke as she clenched her teeth. “If you help treat my grandpa, then I won’t tell Susu you’re cheating on her!”
Lin Ru definitely struggled a lot to say that.
She had a personality that hated evil. If it was before, when she saw Ye Zichen be with other girls, she might have directly slapped him for Su Yan.
But for their family’s old man...
“Ye Zichen, don’t tell me that you just have a normal relationship with her,” Heavy suspicion rested in Lin Ru’s eyes.
Hearing that, Ye Zichen shrugged helplessly, “Lin Ru, why are you so cute to threaten me using this?”
“Yeah! I am threatening you!” Lin Ru bit her lips, while she frowned. “Just go and save my grandpa!”
Ye Zichen couldn’t help but reply when he saw Lin Ru’s pitiful appearance, “Never mind, I don’t want to destroy our relationship due to this. How about this, if you want me to save Old Man Su, then fine! Tell Lin Hanben and Lin Lin to apologize to me in person.”
With that, he left from Lin Ru’s sight while holding Xia Keke’s hand.
Lin Ru clenched her teeth and continuously waved her fist at Ye Zichen’s retreating back.
“That scum, he actually dared to betray Susu, he’s pissing me off!
“Lil’ Ru, the situation might not be what you think.”
“Don’t speak for him. I had thought that he was a good person, I didn’t think that... Hmmph!” Lin Ru frowned. “After I trick him into treating my grandpa, I’ll definitely tell Susu to break up with him.”
Wu Haoyu smiled wryly on the side.
At the same time, Lin Ru also took out her phone and shouted, “Lin Lin, tell your dad that if you want Ye Zichen to save grandpa, he has to take you to apologize in person.”
Xia Keke shrugged speechlessly after taking a few steps away, “Who is that girl? She knows Susu?”
“She’s a good sis with Susu,” Ye Zichen smiled.
However, Xia Keke twitched her mouth, “I don’t feel how good their relationship is. If I saw this sort of situation, then I would definitely call Susu right away!”
“She can’t help it, due to her family’s old man’s situation, she has a favor to ask of me.”
“True,” Xia Keke blinked with her cute eyes. “Then what happened to their family’s old man?”
Dingdong.
Ye Zichen’s phone rang before he could reply.
Your intimacy level with Han Xiangzi increased by 50. Current intimacy level: 250.
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. The fact that the intimacy level increased meant that his technique of chatting of girls had a pretty good effect.
Dingdong.
Lü Dongbin: Celestial sovereign, thank you!
Ye Zichen was confused.
Why did Lü Dongbin talk to him? Shouldn’t it be Han Xiangzi?
Lü Dongbin: Celestial sovereign, I am Han Xiangzi.
Ye Zichen smiled when he saw the message. That makes sense!
“It seems like Brother Han’s advances on Immortal Lady He worked pretty well.”
“It wasn’t bad. At least I spoke out the words in my heart, and Immortal Lady He... She didn’t clearly refuse.”
“Not refusing is a good thing,” Ye Zichen pursed his lips and smiled. “Brother Han should strike the iron while its hot.”
“Great deity, what do you think I should do?”
It was clear that Ye Zichen had become Han Xiangzi’s backbone.
There was no helping it, the relationship that didn’t improve in a thousand years had a qualitative change after meeting Ye Zichen.
Han Xiangzi couldn’t help but to see Ye Zichen in new light.
Ye Zichen did want to teach him the following steps, but he felt rather strange as he stared at the Lü Dongbin profile pic.
“Why is Brother Han using Great Deity Lü’s phone?”
“Ai, don’t talk about it,” Han Xiangzi blushed. “When I got mad at great deity back then, I went and broke my phone.”
“Then buy a new one,” Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. “Otherwise, it really isn’t going to work if Brother Han keeps on chatting with me using Great Deity Lü’s phone.”
“Great deity, don’t you know that phones are rare items in the Heavenly Court...? I broke one earlier, and can’t afford another one right now.”
Rare items.
Ye ZIchen raised his eyebrows and laughed softly.
“Then I’ll gift you one.”
