Chapter 1587

"I heard him speak too," Old Man Yan said seriously from the side. "When they said his tongue was damaged, I thought it was injured. Turns out it was replaced. But you can’t tell at all."

"I forged a tongue for her," Zhu Yanyi explained with a regretful look. "It helps her speak clearly. But it has a flaw. Normal tongues can taste food. Her cannot, because it is artificial. I feel my skills are still lacking."

"Do you think you are a god?" Xie Zhong laughed and scolded gently. "Making a tongue that works mostly is already great. You expect an artificial one to taste food?"

"Grandpa, give me some face. Let me dream. Maybe one day I will have that ability," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Just keep dreaming," Qi Qiao'er added. "Jigong made a leg for a dog and worried it would wash away. Do you have his power?"

Zhu Yanyi paused, helpless. "Grandma, I am your favorite granddaughter. How can you hurt me like this?"

"Hehe, I think this is best for you. Besides, without you, I still have Ani and Little Swallow," Qi Qiao'er said cheerfully.

Zhu Yanyi smiled helplessly. "By the way, Little Swallow’s nickname is Little Swallow. My nephew’s is Little Monkey. They are not the same generation, yet both are animals."

"Nicknames are casual. Don’t make a fuss," Zhu Yanli spoke first. "Also, a swallow is a bird, a monkey is a beast. Different species. Generation doesn’t matter."

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head at Zhu Yanli. "I see my eldest sister is getting better at talking. Brother-in-law must have taught her."

Everyone laughed. Just then, the door opened. Yan Xinan entered. "Uncle, Aunt, a man named Gu Jun sent me. He asks you to come over."

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan looked at each other and stood up. Zhu Yanyi asked, "Xinan, do you want to go out or stay here?"

"I will stay with Grandpa and Grandma," Yan Xinan said, sitting next to the old lady. Being outside was boring. Yan Xixi was absent due to a cold, so Yan Xinan felt it was dull to be alone. He preferred staying with his grandparents.

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi ignored her and walked hand in hand to the special guest area of the sect.

Gu Jun saw them arrive and hurriedly invited them to sit.

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi sat down without hesitation. Yan Aohan asked Zhu Yanyi, "I didn’t see you eat anything earlier. What do you want? I will get it for you." In the private room, Zhu Yanyi had been attending to the elders and hadn’t eaten.

Since he didn’t need to care for others now, Yan Aohan naturally wanted to feed his wife first.

"Okay. Get me saury, bird’s nest, and rice cakes. You decide the rest. You haven’t eaten either, so get something for yourself," Zhu Yanyi said. She knew Yan Aohan understood her taste. If he got too much, she would eat it all.

Yan Aohan nodded and went to get food.

Zi Ni, sitting nearby, watched and said directly, "It is better to get food yourself. Asking a man to do it is too pretentious."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Zi Ni and smiled faintly. "I like my fiancé getting food for me. If you are jealous, you can find a fiancé too."

"What do you mean?" Zi Ni’s face showed unspoken anger.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Zi Ni. "Nothing special. Just literal meaning. My fiancé likes getting food for me. You speak up for her. Nicely put, it is advice. Badly put, are you coveting my man? That is not a good thing."

Others might respect newly emerged sects because they were hidden and mysterious, causing fear of the unknown.

But Zhu Yanyi was different. Her inheritance came from the Azure Sovereign Qingdi, who was supreme. Ordinary mortal sects could not compare. Thus, she felt no fear. Plus, she had a good relationship with Gu Jun and often heard about the Sage Academy. To her, sects were just ordinary.

Zi Xiao saw Zi Ni’s reaction and hurriedly said, "Junior Sister Zi Ni, stop causing trouble."

Zi Ni huffed, feeling resentful. Mount Emei had only women, but now they allowed marriage. Zi Xiao bringing Zi Xia and Zi Ni into the world was partly to find husbands for junior sisters. If good matches were found, more disciples would enter the world.

Zi Ni had good taste. When she first saw Yan Aohan, her heart rippled. She imagined being by his side. Seeing Yan Aohan get food for Zhu Yanyi, who acted entitled, she felt it was wrong. Mostly, she was jealous of Yan Aohan’s gentleness and care. She believed she deserved that treatment.

She tried to hide her resentment, not knowing Zhu Yanyi was sensitive to auras. Zhu Yanyi clearly saw Zi Ni’s jealousy and covetousness toward Yan Aohan.

Zhu Yanyi usually treated ordinary people politely. But coveting her man was intolerable. So she spoke directly, leaving Zi Ni no time to hide.

"Sorry, Little Divine Doctor. My junior sister is young and just came down the mountain. Please forgive her," Zi Xiao apologized to Zhu Yanyi, though she felt some dissatisfaction. They were guests, and the host was rude.

"Young?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Zi Xiao strangely. "I think this Miss Zi Ni is at least twenty."

"My junior sister is twenty-one," Zi Xia said from the side.

"Hehe," Zhu Yanyi said faintly. "Don’t you know I am only eighteen? Saying a twenty-one-year-old is young in front of an eighteen-year-old is new to me. It seems my math is poor. I didn’t know twenty-one is smaller than eighteen."
