Chapter 862: A Couple’s Nighttime Chat!

The arrival of representatives from various nations helped ease the awkward atmosphere.

Zhu Yanyi felt quite pleased. Her good mood made her enjoy her meal, and seeing this, her fellow disciples at the table smiled. Qu Zhong looked helplessly at Gu Jingtian and said, "Senior Brother, it seems our Junior Sister is in a very good mood."

Gu Jingtian laughed. "To be honest, I also felt satisfied hearing that conversation just now. But as your Senior Brother, I can only enjoy it secretly. I cannot say it out loud, as that would be improper. People from Huaxia still give face to their guests."

Zhu Yanyi made a funny face at her. She thought Gu Jingtian was being a bit fake. She clearly wanted her to drown those people in spit. "Actually, my speaking skills are still not good enough. I need to improve."

"If you’ve already made them speechless, what are we?" Yu Qingyun laughed.

"Junior Sister, do not be too modest. Excessive modesty is hypocrisy," Zhu Ziming said, picking up a piece of smoked fish with his chopsticks.

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly but did not explain. It was hard to put into words. She knew her own abilities well. Compared to Yan Aohan, she was truly inferior. Thinking of Yan Aohan, she wondered how he was doing now.

At that moment, Yan Aohan was also eating, but he was eating dry rations. After finishing the food and drinking some water, he stood up and said to Luo Gang, who was eating nearby, "This is the last place. After we finish here, we can go back."

Luo Gang nodded. "I’ve become soft recently. After eating good meals for years, I’ve only been eating these dry rations for over a month, and I’m already tired of them."

Yan Aohan chuckled lightly. Then, his communication device vibrated. He received the message, paused for a moment, and then spoke. "We will finish things today and return to the capital in the late night."

"Master Yan, has something happened?" Luo Gang and the others had changed their address for Yan Aohan from "Young Master Yan" to "Boss," and now to "Master Yan." This showed that their true master was no longer Yan Aohan, but Zhu Yanyi.

Yan Aohan’s eyes flickered slightly. "Storms are coming to the capital. We must return. I hope we are still in time to intervene." He did not want these matters to drag his little girl in.

"Is it related to the Young Miss?" Luo Gang understood immediately.

Yan Aohan shook his head slightly. "Your Young Miss has gone to Tian Shi for the International Medical Exchange Conference. So, this storm has not reached her yet. Those caught in the storm right now are Elder Yao and Elder Chun."

"How could it be these two elders? If anything happens to them, our Young Miss will be angry and sad," Li Yang said, finishing her last bite of dry ration. They had all seen the bond between Zhu Yanyi and the elders. It was not quite like that of grandparents and grandchildren, but it was even deeper.

"That is why we must hurry. I hope we are in time," Yan Aohan sighed deeply. "Are you finished? If so, we should leave."

"We are finished." Luo Gang and Li Yang drank some more water, packed the remaining rations and water into their backpacks, and put them on.
