Young Wu was embarrassed and could only use a cough to cover up his guilty conscience. His brain also took a tad too long to work: “Shishi, why did you come here?”

When Chen Yu heard her grandpa’s question, she also remembered the purpose of her trip, so she glared unhappily at him and asked rhetorically, “How dare you ask me? What do you mean by the dream you entrusted to me and Third Brother last night?”

“Huh??” Young Wu now remembered. “Did Lou Ming also come?”

Just as Young Wu asked, Lou Ming walked out of the door. After Chen Yu ran out from the living room, Lou Ming asked Mingwang permission and followed her out.

Lou Ming was also stunned when he saw Young Wu. Fortunately, although Elder Wu became Young Wu, it was not difficult to recognize him. Moreover, Elder Wu’s cultivation was advanced, so transforming his soul back to his youth wasn’t that much of a problem. Coupled with what Black and White Impermanence said about him pretending to be young before, Lou Ming quickly figured the ins and outs of the matter.

“Grandpa.” Since Lou Ming met Chen Yu’s parents, he began to follow how Chen Yu addressed her elders smoothly.

“Grandpa? What grandpa? Don’t call me that. Don’t call me something so old.” Young Wu thought he was younger than Lou Ming at this time, yet this man wasn’t embarrassed to call him grandpa.

“…” God knew how much psychological barrier Lou Ming just overcame when he called grandpa in front of Young Wu. He finally voiced it out, tsk, only to be despised.

“Old Man, you…”

Chen Yu listened as Elder Wu pinched Lou Ming without rhyme or reason. Just as she was about to assist him, her grandpa poked her on the forehead with a finger the moment she opened her lips: “Shut it. You are not allowed to call me Old Man from now on.”

“Then what should I call you?” Chen Yu was dumbfounded. If she wasn’t allowed to call him Old Man or grandpa, then what would she call him in the future?

“Call me…” Young Wu was caught off guard by Chen Yu’s question. Right, ah, how should he be addressed? “Don’t call me so when there are outsiders around.”

Chen Yu was rendered speechless, and she gave him an eye roll. In the past, it really never occurred to her that her Old Man cared so much about his age. Although he was indeed fond of applying facial masks, he also loved capitalizing on his seniority.  How could he have changed so much after just a month? Was it because an old chap in his seventies wasn’t good looking enough in the Underworld, so he found a new path and took the young route?

“Ahem…” Young Wu saw it clearly. The two of them came out from Mingwang Palace right before his eyes. It seemed that Lou Ming really had some ties with Mingwang.

“Huh?” Chen Yu turned her head to Young Wu.

But Young Wu’s gaze was firmly fixed on Lou Ming: “How did you two come out of the Mingwang Palace?”

“Oh.” Chen Yu answered without much thought, “Third Brother and I came to the Underworld to look for you and found that you were still in the Underworld, so we came here. By the way, Old Man, do you know? It turns out that Third Brother’s master in his first life is Mingwang. No wonder Third Brother’s Book of Life and Death was encrypted.”

Lou Ming’s master was Mingwang? Sure enough, they are related. Young Wu’s eyes abruptly lit up.

Lou Ming’s heart missed a beat, and his mind instantly went on alert.

“Do you know why I appeared in your dream?” Young Wu asked Lou Ming.

“No, ah, that’s why we came here.” Chen Yu also asked, “Old Man, what do you mean? If you don’t give me an explanation, I won’t burn paper money for you during the Qingming Festival in the future.”

“Are you only going to burn paper money during the Qingming Festival? Don’t you usually burn some?” Young Wu was indignant. How did he raise such an unfilial apprentice?

“I know,” Lou Ming rushed to speak before the grandpa and granddaughter butt heads..

“Third Brother, do you know?” Chen Yu looked at Lou Ming in surprise.

“It’s good that you know,” Young Wu said in satisfaction.

Chen Yu looked at the two who had inexplicably become taciturn, full of confusion.

“Let’s talk over here,” Young Wu said and moved to a corner. When he moved, Chen Yu followed. Young Wu quickly stopped her, “Don’t come here.”

“Why?” Chen Yu said dissatisfied.

“This is a secret among men,” Young Wu replied meaningfully.

“Ahem!” Lou Ming really wanted to hold back his laughter. Unable to do so, he could only cough. “Shishi, wait here for a while, I’ll have a few words with grandpa.”

“Can’t I know?” Chen Yu asked unhappily.

Lou Ming leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Wait and I’ll tell you when we get back.”

Chen Yu was instantly satisfied. She was brimming with dissatisfaction just now, but because of Lou Ming’s words, her countenance immediately turned sunny. Young Wu felt envious, looking at them on the side.

He must learn such superb coaxing techniques, ah.

After appeasing Chen Yu, Lou Ming turned around and walked to the side. He stopped in front of Young Wu and started before Young Wu could speak, “Grandpa, you appeared in my dream just for me to come here, right?”

Lou Ming discerned that Young Wu’s appearance in his dream was the main point, and he only appeared in Chen Yu’s dream in passing.

“Mm.” Young Wu nodded unabashedly.

“You want me to help you. I’ve also guessed what specifically it is about also. However…How far do you intend to let me help?” Lou Ming asked cautiously.

As early as a month ago there were rumors that Elder Wu had taken a fancy to Mingwang’s daughter in the Underworld. Combined with his relationship with Mingwang, as well as those words Elder Wu had shouted outside the gate today, Lou Ming quickly guessed what this was all about.

Although it was not clear what kind of relationship Elder Wu had with his nominal junior sister, whom he has not met yet, Lou Ming deeply felt that it was unwise for outsiders to meddle in this kind of relationship. But Elder Wu was Shishi’s grandfather. Lou Ming couldn’t ignore everything completely, hence the dilemma now.

“Cough…” Although Young Wu’s EQ was relatively low, he was sincere in pursuing Miaomiao. He called Lou Ming, but he didn’t even think about letting Lou Ming help much. He just wanted to meet him and use Lou Ming’s relationship with Mingwang to let him give him a chance. “Mingwang has always prevented me from meeting Miaomiao.”

Miaomiao? Lou Ming raised an eyebrow and realized that she was probably the heroine of the story.

Nonetheless, was his master standing in between Elder Wu and Miaomiao’s relationship? Lou Ming still didn’t quite believe it.  As early as more than a thousand years ago, his master was an open-minded and enlightened person. How could he be pedantic now? Obviously, his Miaomiao kept Elder Wu out of the door most likely at the request of her junior sister, Miaomiao.

“I’ll go in and ask for you.” Lou Ming decided to go in first to ask his master.
