Chapter 980 - 1021: Take the Person Away
Li Yifei told Su Zhian the location of that item and asked Su Zhian to deliver it to the research base once again. No one could steal the credit for this task—it was his. Having Su Zhian deliver it was still better than having Zheng Mingrui and his group do it, for fear that upon their arrival, they might not get along with the Battle Bear Squad and even end up in a fight.
Lunch was had at the Su Family home, including the three elder masters—Fourth Master Xiao, Fifth Master Zheng—and Lin Qiong and Zheng Yuling. Su’s Third Eldest didn’t ridicule or mock; the old guy could be crazy and impulsive, but he also knew how to gauge the situation well. Having already given the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family a hard time, he couldn’t embarrass them further over this matter.
After lunch, Li Yifei said, "Third Eldest, Fourth Master, Fifth Master, I’ve been away from home for a while now. It’s time for me to go back."
The three seemed just like family, and their rankings were quite smooth.
Fourth Master Xiao chuckled and said, "That’s right, you should. Oh, and take Ling’er with you. The girl has been missing you at home. You might as well take her with you."
Fifth Master Zheng immediately added, "Yeah, take Yuling with you too. Sooner or later, she’ll be yours anyway. We don’t need to fuss over formalities."
Last time, although Li Yifei had gotten both families to agree to let Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling be with him, they had not agreed to let him take them away immediately. But this time, without Li Yifei bringing it up, they took the initiative to suggest it themselves, showing that they truly stood on the same side as Li Yifei. They genuinely considered Li Yifei part of their family now.
Both Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling were overjoyed but looked to Li Yifei, fearing he might not agree.
Li Yifei took both of their hands and smiled, "Alright then, I won’t be polite."
Fourth Master Xiao and Fifth Master Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. They’d been worried that Li Yifei might hold a grudge against Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling over the issue. But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case. As long as Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling could be with Li Yifei, they could later console him and occasionally whisper sweet nothings in his ear to easily mend their relationship.
