A Meal at the Wei Household / Lord Wei Yenwu, You Wouldn't Want...

Bai Ye felt awkward speaking, since there wasn't an accurate name for Players in Terra yet, so he could only use terms like "weirdo" or "ronin" instead.

"The budget isn't enough..."

"My company can cover part of it, and in addition to Lungmen Dollar, there are other things as well."

Chen, of course, didn't know that Players valued more than just money; they also valued experience, weapons, skills, skins, titles, achievements, and so on.

Even maps, knowledge, rumors, treasure maps...

Anything can be used to guide Players, because they are strangers in this world and are interested in everything.

Players are actually quite easy to understand.

They came here to play games, and they were all there to have fun.

If we can make them happy and satisfy them, then they can become controllable to a certain extent.

Bai Ye himself will also contribute money and effort, not just for charity. Building good relations with the Lungmen government is never a bad thing; he might even be able to secure orders from them later. This is a good opportunity.

The Courier Company of the Bai Ye can certainly act as an intermediary.

"I now realize that allying with you was absolutely the best decision I ever made..."

Chen's eyes lit up; Bai Ye's method greatly inspired her.

In her opinion, the Players were actually much better than those demon mercenaries. After all, there were quite a few incorrigible good people among them who did a lot of things that seemed silly but were actually right.

Sarkaz mercenaries only care about money and their own lives.

Chapter 112 The Meal at Lord Wei's House

"By the way, what time is it..."

After writing down Bai Ye's suggestions, Chen suddenly remembered that she hadn't called Bai Ye over today to ask for advice—she was taking Bai Ye to Commander Wei Yenwu's family banquet.

I didn't expect that we would lose track of time while we were chatting.

"Six o'clock, we should still have time." Bai Ye put away the terminal.

"Huh?" Swire raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "What are you planning to do next?"

"What? What?" Hoshiguma also became interested.

"None of your business," Chen replied irritably.

Swire persisted, "Could it be... the rumors aren't true? You're going on a date?"

"Chashao Mao, you've gone too far! No matter what I think, I wouldn't abandon my work to go on a date at a time like this." A "#" appeared on Chen's forehead.

"Heh, so you mean, if it weren't for this time, you would really go?" Swire narrowed her eyes.

I don't want to argue with you!

Bai Ye, standing to the side, helplessly covered his forehead. "It's nothing serious, it's just that Old Wei wants to see me."

He felt that if he didn't speak up, the two enemies would continue arguing.

"Old Wei?!"

The three people in the office were immediately distracted.

What kind of title is that?! So audacious!

"Ahem, it's Director Wei." Bai Ye shrugged indifferently.

"You're being way too casual," Hoshiguma said, genuinely exasperated. This office was full of problem children, and she was caught in the middle, finding it incredibly difficult.

Swire, however, grasped the key point. "Wait, are you all going to see Director Wei together?"

"Mm." Chen nodded.

"Tsk, isn't this even more outrageous? You've already reached the point of meeting the parents!" Swire screamed.

How far did this Chief Chen run off to? Is it possible that by the time she comes tomorrow, these two will already have a child?

"* Lungmen profanity * What on earth are you thinking?" Chen couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out the classic and beautiful Lungmen slang.

However, this guy's imagination is truly outrageous. He's already met her parents, and I never expected her to think so far ahead.

"In short, this trip is probably related to... Sis' Talulah," Bai Ye explained again.

"Talulah?" Swire slowly calmed down. "That's right, you went to Ursus ... I didn't expect you to actually find her."

Chen, Swire, and the Rat King's daughter all know Talulah; they grew up together.

In the past, Talulah always played the role of the older sister, protecting them from the front. When she was taken away by the Black Serpent, this incident not only affected Chen, but also had a great impact on others.

"I'm sorry, Swire, Hoshiguma, I'll have to trouble you with the rest of the work." Chen had no choice but to leave, since Wei Yenwu hadn't specifically asked her to come back in a long time.

"Thanking us for this is a bit much," Hoshiguma said dismissively.

"Hmph." Swire crossed her arms. "I'm not helping you. I'm just doing my job and mission for the Guards Bureau."

Hearing this, Bai Ye, who was standing to the side, was holding back her laughter so hard that she almost burst out laughing.

This is such a classic example of tsundere...

Oh, he is too? That's alright then.

It's just the pot calling the kettle black.

Under the cover of night, Bai Ye and Chen arrived at Director Wei's house.

Bai Ye followed Chief Chen through the gate and then sensed the presence hidden in the shadows.

A ninja from the Higashi.

Because of his past life in the Higashi, Bai Ye is extremely sensitive to the senses of ninjas. He has also mastered this special skill, which is why he was able to detect them immediately.

Bai Ye secretly noted it down, but did not deliberately turn his head to look. Instead, he pretended nothing was wrong and followed Chen into the mansion.

Bai Ye noticed that there seemed to be a rather cool and luxurious version of the Aqua Arrow 35 Prism Motorcycle parked outside the door—he didn't expect Old Wei to be so good at having fun.

Wei Yenwu Lady Wen-yue were already waiting at the door. Bai Ye was somewhat surprised, not expecting them to come to the door to greet him personally.

"Director Wei, Lady Wen-yue." Chen's attitude towards Old Wei was rather stiff, but her expression softened when she looked at Wen Yue.

While observing, Bai Ye also greeted the two big shots.

Both Wei Yenwu and Wen Yue have distinct characteristics of Ancients, which Players seem to refer to as "furry".

Upon closer inspection, Bai Ye had discerned Wei Yenwu's race: a true dragon of the Yan. It seemed the rumors from his previous life might be true— Wei Yenwu might possess the royal blood of the Great Yan.

To be honest, Bai Ye is under a lot of pressure.

This is the most noble person Bai Ye has encountered so far.

In his previous life, he didn't even have many opportunities to meet her face-to-face.

Wei Yenwu retained the bloodline of his Ancients, was ruthless, and had sharp eyes; being in the same space as him made one feel suffocated.

It wasn't just the aura of someone in a superior position; Bai Ye also sensed something else—this guy's combat strength was clearly not low.

He is a strong person.

Actually, looking at it from another angle, there's nothing wrong with that. After all, as far as Bai Ye knows, Chen's skills were all taught by Old Wei.

"Little Chen!" Upon seeing Chen, Lady Wen-yue's expression brightened, and she stepped forward to hug Chen tightly.

"Hmm—"

Although her expression was somewhat stiff, it seemed that Chen was not good at handling this kind of thing, but Chen still let her elder hug her.

Her expression gradually softened.

Bai Ye watched everything unfold before her eyes.

My back is a little itchy.

His emotions were complex—envy, jealousy, longing...

He had never experienced this kind of pure family affection before. It was a realm he didn't understand. He wanted to see it, but he also felt out of place.

He instinctively turned his head away, not wanting to look, but his eyes met Wei Yenwu's.

An old man and a young boy faced each other across the distance, their gazes colliding in mid-air.

After a long pause, Wei Yenwu withdrew his gaze, his expression unreadable. Bai Ye didn't know what he had discerned, but he knew that this meal might not be as delicious as he had imagined.

"Oh my, what a handsome young man. Hello, Mr. Bai Ye." After being affectionate with Chen, Lady Wen-yue turned her attention to Bai Ye.

"Hello." Bai Ye nodded obediently.

For some reason, Lady Wen-yue's attitude was much better than Wei Yenwu's. Her expression was gentle, but her eyes were somewhat strange, as if they were scrutinizing and evaluating him.

Bai Ye felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

Bai Ye had no idea what the couple was planning.

"You must be hungry too, come and eat first."

Lady Wen-yue interrupted Bai Ye's thoughts, and the two of them led Bai Ye and Chen to the dining table.

The meals at the Lord Wei family's house were mostly home-style dishes, mainly in the style of the Great Yan Dynasty, with some tea snacks from Lungmen.

The flavor was quite good; according to Lady Wen-yue, it was her own cooking.

It's hard to imagine that this lady is actually a princess of the Higashi.

To Bai Ye's surprise,

There was little conversation at the dinner table, probably because they adhered to the Dayan tradition of "not speaking while eating or sleeping," and they were truly there to eat.

'Won't I become a predator?'

To be honest, this was the best meal Bai Ye had since she traveled through time.

So it seems that Bai Ye really doesn't have much of a chance to have a proper meal.

Whether on the road or in the wilderness, being able to eat one's fill is enough. Even on Rhodes Island, things were rushed due to being busy with other matters.

Not only now, but in the past, he would eat whatever nutritional meals prepared by his smart assistant while playing games, and he would also watch guides and videos while eating.

'Perhaps this is the taste of home?'

While enjoying Lady Wen-yue's cooking, Bai Ye's mind wandered.

The initial tension and potential hostility dissipated during the meal.

Bai Ye suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Being won over by just one meal was so beneath him...

But for some reason, he felt his eyes getting wet.

This feeling is awful, uncomfortable, and unpleasant.

But my heart felt warm.

Perhaps this meeting helped him rediscover something he had long lost in the past.

Chapter 113 Lord Wei Yenwu, you wouldn't want this either...

After the meal.

Wei Yenwu picked up his pipe.

Lady Wen-yue began clearing away the dishes.

Bai Ye involuntarily sat up straight; he roughly knew that the real show was about to begin.

Looking at Old Wei before him, Bai Ye found it quite strange to see his unusual face making various expressions. However, Bai Ye had grown accustomed to the appearance of these Ancients in his previous life.

It won't lead to a loss of composure.

Chen also sat down to the side.

She looked down at her fingers absentmindedly. Compared to Bai Ye, she was probably even more nervous and reserved—even though it was her own family member.

What an awkward couple...

After a moment of silence, Wei Yenwu finally spoke after Lady Wen-yue served everyone a cup of tea.

"A long time ago, my younger sister and I came to Longmen from Da Yan. Here we met Dong Guo Wen Yue from Dong Guo and Edward Atrias, a descendant of the Drak who fled from Victoria."
