Chapter 193: Grown-up’s Love

Shaking his head, Leng Xuan then continued with the phone conversation, "Old Master, Miss has gone out."

"Good," Old Master Ling heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Leng Xuan, we really owe you one for today’s affair."

Leng Xuan said, "There’s no need for courtesy, Old Master, it’s my duty!"

Old Master Ling chuckled and replied, "Alright, since you say so, I won’t stand on ceremony with you either. However, in my heart, you’re not just a bodyguard, you’re also ’Old Dragon’s’ prized disciple. By the way, regarding today’s incident, I suspect it may have been orchestrated by that old rival of mine. His goal was simply to use Xue Jiu to threaten me. But the true nature of the affair is still under police investigation, and before the dust settles, I can’t be too certain. Xue Jiu’s safety is becoming more and more concerning, so we’re going to have to trouble you further."

Leng Xuan assured him, "Old Master, rest easy, I will take care of it!"

Old Master Ling said, "Fine, I won’t say much more for now. Tomorrow’s banquet will go ahead as planned, but we won’t go to Imperial Cuisine House. Just come directly to where I live, at that time I want to properly thank you."

Leng Xuan paused, then said with a wry smile, "Old Master, why the formality?"

Old Master Ling rebuked with a laugh, "You rascal, your cultivation level must have regressed quite a few years for my sake, hadn’t it? In my lifetime, when have I, Ling Tian, been so indebted to someone? If I don’t repay this favor, how can I be at peace?"

Since the Old Master had put it that way, Leng Xuan found it difficult to be any more modest. Meanwhile, a trace of curiosity arose within him. He wondered what kind of favor the Old Master intended to repay, one that he regarded so highly? But since the Old Master didn’t bring it up, he felt it wasn’t his place to ask. Thereupon, he said with a bitter smile, "Well, all right then. I’ll inform Miss and the others in a moment, and we shall be there on time tomorrow."

"Mhm, we’ll talk about other matters when we see each other tomorrow. Let’s leave it at that for now!"

"Alright, goodbye Old Master!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Leng Xuan stepped out and handed the cell phone to Ling Xuejiu, who was watching TV, saying, "Young Miss, Old Master asked us to go directly to his place tomorrow."

"Oh!" Ling Xuejiu took the phone and asked, "What did Grandpa say just now?"

Leng Xuan responded with a faint smile, "Nothing much, just to take good care of your safety."

Ling Xuejiu pouted and replied, "Just that? Sigh, never mind. Even if there was something more, Grandpa wouldn’t let you tell me anyway."

Li Mengjie glanced at Leng Xuan and asked, "Cold Bodyguard, is the dinner ready? I’m hungry!"

Leng Xuan answered, "Just one more dish to go, it’s almost finished."

"Oh~!" Li Mengjie said cheerfully, "Then I’ll help serve the dishes!" With that, she slipped on a pair of slippers and went into the kitchen with Leng Xuan. Before long, the dinner was on the table, and the three of them were eating when suddenly, the ringtone that Li Mengjie found annoying emanated from inside Leng Xuan’s room, "Brother Leng Xuan, you have a call..."

Li Mengjie and Ling Xuejiu looked up at Leng Xuan simultaneously!

Clearing his throat, Leng Xuan said, "You two keep eating. I’m going to take a call." With that, he stood up and went to his room.

"Brother Leng Xuan, you finally answered my call." On the other end of the line, came Su Yurou’s somewhat aggrieved voice.

Leng Xuan explained that he had gone out to buy groceries, which was why he missed her call. Su Yurou then laughed and said, "I knew Brother Leng Xuan wouldn’t ignore Yurou."
