Chapter 1786 I like you
"Okay." Yan Li nodded.
He was a friend recognized by his master, and even without the incident involving Gong Hang and the others, he would have helped him without hesitation.
"Then thank you very much, Li'er." The Realm Lord was delighted to see Yan Li agree so readily.
Upon seeing this, the members of both the Shen and Wan families turned their gazes to Shen Qianqian.
At this moment, Shen Qianqian's value had been magnified infinitely in their eyes.
Ordinary people would find it difficult to even meet the Realm Lord, but she possesses a token that allows her to contact the Realm Lord at any time—something even the Realm Lord's descendants don't have!
Shen Qianqian noticed their gazes but didn't want to pay them any attention.
When I was weak, they treated me like trash; now that I'm strong, they want to fawn over me. Who gave them the nerve?
"Li'er, after the birthday banquet, will you go back to the Realm Lord's Mansion with Grandpa Mu?" The Realm Lord smiled as he looked at Yan Li.
"Okay." Compared to the Shen family, Yan Li naturally felt more comfortable staying at the Realm Lord's Mansion.
The banquet continued, but everyone was much more reserved because of the presence of the Realm Lord.
Neither the Shen family nor the Wan family dared to cause any more trouble for Shen Qianqian.
As the banquet ended, Yan Li led Gong Hang and the others to leave with the Realm Lord.
"Qianqian, you've just gotten back, so why don't you stay at home?" Shen Da Zuzong called out to Shen Qianqian.
He was thinking of keeping Shen Qianqian here and rebuilding his relationship with her, hoping that she might regain a sense of belonging to the Shen family.
Just a tiny bit is enough.
"No need. There's no place for me in the Shen family anymore. I'll follow wherever my great-grandmother goes," Shen Qianqian refused directly.
"Let's go," the Realm Lord said, looking at them.
Now that the Realm Lord has spoken, the Shen family naturally wouldn't dare to compete with him for the person.
"Father, Qianqian, she..." Shen Zhu, the young master of the Shen family, who had been silent all along, looked at Shen Qianqian's departing figure, hesitant to speak.
It wasn't that he didn't speak before, but that he felt Shen Qianqian had suffered a lot because of being abandoned by the Shen family.
Now, whatever she does to the Shen family is normal, and he has nothing to say about it.
"Zhu'er, I really made a mistake before." The head of the Shen family sighed.
Since Shen Qianqian came back, she hasn't even glanced at him, let alone called him "Dad."
She even became very distant from her three most beloved ancestors.
“Father, I advised you not to do that before. Once you do it, there’s no turning back, but you just wouldn’t listen.” Shen Zhu sighed after saying that.
"Now I only hope that she is safe and well," the head of the Shen family said softly.
“Then Yan Yan…” Shen Zhu looked at the head of the Shen family.
He found it very strange, because in the past, his father would be extremely distressed whenever Shen Yanyan suffered even the slightest injury.
Today, Shen Yanyan was injured multiple times and even became Shen Qianqian's slave, yet he remained unmoved.
This is really weird!
"Since she has become Qianqian's slave, then starting tomorrow, you will be sent to clean Qianqian's courtyard," the head of the Shen family said coldly.
"Father, why are you so concerned about Shen Yanyan..." Shen Zhu was very puzzled.
He was naturally indifferent to emotions. He had no feelings at all, whether it was Shen Qianqian or Shen Yanyan, who became the eldest daughter of the Shen family or who stayed in the Shen family.
But today, when he saw Shen Qianqian again, he suddenly realized that the little girl who used to timidly call him "big brother" had grown up.
The gaze she gave him was no longer dependent, but rather the same indifferent look he used to have when he looked at her.
He suddenly longed to hear her call him "Big Brother" again.
"She's not my daughter, she's your grandfather's," the head of the Shen family said coldly.
"What? Father, this is too absurd!" Shen Zhu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"It's so absurd that I actually abandoned my own daughter for her." The head of the Shen family had dark eyes.
“Father, you could have had both back then. It’s not like our Shen family can’t afford to raise them. But you only wanted to give Shen Yanyan the best, and you couldn’t even let Qianqian have a little bit.” Shen Zhu’s words made the Shen family head’s face turn even paler.
"A broken mirror cannot be mended, spilled water cannot be gathered up again," said the head of the Shen family, turning and leaving.
Shen Zhu sighed and turned to go back to her own courtyard.
As Yan Li and the others returned to the Realm Lord's Mansion with the Realm Lord, she felt her feet sink as soon as she stepped into the mansion.
She was about to shake off what was holding her feet when her eyes lit up when she saw what was clinging to them.
It was a bright, shiny little monkey, so beautiful.
"Huh? How did this little golden monkey king's cub end up here? It's always been averse to people getting close." The realm lord looked on in surprise when he saw the little monkey.
"Broken Golden Monkey? The name isn't great, but it's good-looking." Yan Li said, squatting down.
"I like you." The little monkey actually spoke when Yan Li squatted down.
"I like you too, why don't you come with me?" Yan Li added in her mind, "I like how you're all sparkly and golden, so beautiful."
"Okay," the little monkey replied, truly accepting its master.
Seeing this, Yan Li happily picked it up and placed it on her shoulder.
A smile flickered across Gong Hang and the others' eyes when they saw this. Their great-grandmother was good in every way, except that she had no resistance to shiny things.
"Lord of the Realm, that damned golden monkey cub..." The elder in charge of the beast garden of the Lord of the Realm was dumbfounded when he arrived and saw the very well-behaved little monkey sitting on Yan Li's shoulder!
It doesn't bite!
It even sat so obediently on a human's shoulder.
Is it because that girl is pretty?
Is this little monkey a sucker for good looks?
"It has already recognized Li'er as its master, you should go back now," the Realm Lord said, waving his hand.
"Yes, Lord of the Realm." The elder replied and left, turning back every few steps.
"Little monkey, he seems really reluctant to part with you?" Yan Li patted the little monkey's head with amusement.
"He made my mom tear him apart. My mom is really fierce, and my dad is even fiercer, but my intuition tells me that even they combined aren't as fierce as our master," the little monkey said seriously.
Yan Li: ...
Thank you for your approval, but I have no interest in competing with two monkeys to see who is fiercer.
The realm lord standing to the side almost burst out laughing when he saw Yan Li's conflicted expression.
"Let's go, I'll take you to rest. We can talk about taming the beasts tomorrow." After saying that, the Realm Lord led Yan Li and the others towards a courtyard.
When Yan Li and the others arrived, they discovered that the two courtyards were connected, and the Realm Lord had arranged for the men and women to stay in separate courtyards.
"Li'er, you can wander around the Realm Lord's Mansion as you please, just don't go to the West Courtyard," the Realm Lord instructed before leaving.
"Why?" Yan Li looked at the Realm Lord curiously.
“The West Courtyard is where my descendants live. I’m afraid that if you go there, those idiots might offend you and you could wipe them all out. Wouldn’t that mean your grandfather Mu would be childless?” The Realm Lord said, looking at Yan Li.
Everyone:...
It turns out that the reason they weren't allowed to go wasn't to protect Great-Grandma, but to protect the people in the West Courtyard!
