"Is the elder alright?"
Ye Kai looked at the separated crowd and walked over slowly. He reached out to help the old man up, but unexpectedly, it startled the elder, causing him to shiver. Even Tingting pouted, looking at him with teary eyes.
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master. I am nothing, nothing," the old man said, forcing himself to stand despite the pain coursing through his body. He bowed slightly and managed a smile, "I wonder what instructions you have for me; I will certainly comply."
Having lived long and seen much, he could easily discern Ye Kai's extraordinary presence. Coupled with the powerful guards surrounding them, he dared not show any negligence.
He tightly protected his granddaughter; she was the only hope of their Jiang Family.
"You are injured quite badly; it would be wise to have a thorough check-up. I have a pill here that works wonders for injuries!"
Ye Kai was not foolish. Seeing the fear in the old man's eyes, he understood and immediately smiled, "Don't worry, elder; I mean no harm."
"Ah! Big Brother, you're not a bad person, are you?"
At that moment, Tingting widened her eyes. After a few sniffles, she wiped her swollen eyes and stared intently at the pill emitting a faint glow. She asked earnestly, "Big Brother, will this pill make Grandpa better?"
Ye Kai smiled warmly. "Of course Big Brother is not a bad person! This pill can not only heal injuries but can also turn my little sister into a princess!"
Though this girl appeared timid, she became very serious when it came to her grandfather. He truly appreciated this quality in her. The original work had mentioned that she was not only talented in cultivation but also kind-hearted.
Tingting glanced at her grandfather and then at the pill. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up with wide eyes filled with both shyness and longing, striking a chord in Ye Kai's heart.
He smiled gently again and handed the pill over. "Here you go; give it to Grandpa. Once he takes it, he'll feel better."
The old man perhaps truly believed that Ye Kai meant no harm. He glanced at his pitiful granddaughter, opened his mouth, and swallowed the elixir. In just three to five seconds, a refreshing aura emanated from within him.
In an instant, it spread throughout his body; not only did the old injuries from years past cease to ache, but even the bruises on his arms visibly faded at an astonishing speed, and the wound on his forehead had already scabbed over.
After calming the fears of the grandfather and granddaughter, Ye Kai followed them into the dilapidated restaurant.
It was indeed a peculiar eatery, with only seven or eight tables inside. The furniture looked quite old, polished to a shine, giving it an antique charm while remaining very clean.
After casually arranging for a few maidservants to tidy up, they helped Tingting change into a beautiful princess dress adorned with sparkling hairpins and set a large table filled with delicious food.
This exquisite spread left not only the old man and Tingting in awe but also Ye Fan and Duan De, who stared wide-eyed. The rich aromas filled the entire restaurant and wafted outside, causing many passersby to drool.
“Tingting, look at what Big Brother has prepared for you! This is a nourishing soup made with Life Pearls and ginseng, simmered with Fo-Ti. It’s very delicious; you must try it!”
Ye Kai kept serving dishes to the girl and even poured her a bowl of exceptionally rich nourishing soup. “Take a sip; you won’t find this anywhere else.”
“Mm!”
Tingting wasn’t foolish; she had long understood that life was tough. This was her first time seeing so many delicacies. Unable to help herself, she swallowed hard again and looked up at her grandfather with hopeful eyes.
“Go ahead and eat!” The old man secretly wiped away a tear.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Tingting immediately cheered and lifted her face to reveal a big smile.
Ye Kai could hardly remember the last time he had seen such pure and sincere joy. For this reason alone, he would not allow the girl to face any more hardships, not even from the Jiang Family.
He felt a surge of determination at that moment; if necessary, he would unleash all the Aerial Battleships. He refused to believe that this wouldn't provide support for the Girl.
"Gulp!"
Watching Tingting carefully sip her nourishing soup, Ye Kai's heart swelled with affection. Perhaps this was what they called an instant connection; from the very first glance, he wanted to claim her as his little sister.
Licking her lips, Tingting beamed with satisfaction and patted her belly, suddenly bursting into giggles.
Faced with so many delicious dishes and such a kind Big Brother, she finally revealed her most innocent smile, blinking her big eyes as she curiously gazed at the fragrant thick soup.
"Smack!"
Seeing Duan De's hand nearly turn red from being slapped, Galastad slowly set down his chopsticks and shot him a warning glance.
"That esteemed one from Wuliang, Dao Master, what kind of misfortune have you encountered to meet such terrifying people!"
Duan De lamented inwardly, yet his hands remained swift. Besides the rich and mellow nourishing soup, the other ten or so dishes were extraordinary as well; even he had never seen them before. He couldn't help but notice how Ye Fan, that brat, was enjoying his meal.
As he watched the table full of food quickly disappear, Ye Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes. After the maid brought out more dishes, he finally handed the now somewhat drowsy Girl over to Alice No. 1, instructing her to take the Girl for a nap.
Perhaps one day in the future, the Girl would truly understand the significance of this bowl of thick soup.
'Why are good people always bullied in this world while bad ones live long lives...?'
Every time he thought of Tingting's porcelain-like face, delicate and exquisite, and then recalled her words that belied her youth, Ye Kai felt a surge of murderous intent rising within him.
Her tender words and aggrieved expression were likely something Ye Kai would never forget.
But it didn't matter; "The Veil" was still in its early stages, and there was no need to fear. As long as he put in a little effort and focused his heart, he could avoid facing those devastating Imperial Weapons.
Moreover, there were so many good things in this world. It seemed he needed to make some arrangements quickly, and for those tragic characters, this time he would let his friends have a chance at a grand rescue!
As for the Nightmare Space, the seeds had already been sown; it was just a matter of what kind of flowers would bloom.
He wasn't traversing dimensions through the Nightmare Space but relying on divine abilities, so he wasn't worried about anyone finding him here.
Furthermore, he actually hoped that the group of Idiots from the Pantheon in the Nightmare Space would come. That way, he could crush them with overwhelming force.
With a god on his side and several dimensions backing him up, the technology in his hands was gradually becoming complete. Fusion, various strategic resources, and even Primary Starships had already been developed.
At this moment, he truly felt invincible.
Even if someone came wielding an Imperial Weapon, it wouldn't matter. He could simply retreat if necessary; after all, the renowned Master of War Arts adhered to the principle of sixteen characters.
As the saying goes: "If the enemy advances, I retreat; if the enemy retreats, I pursue; if the enemy camps, I disrupt; if the enemy tires, I strike." As long as he fully utilized the wisdom contained in these words, nothing would be a problem.
