The elderly man in gray had a playful look on his face, and his pupil-less, snow-white eyeballs turned towards Chu Yunyi again.
"Yun Yi, you've never brought a girl alone here before. Could it be, she's your little wife?"
Li Xing's face darkened. For some reason, even though the elder's face was expressionless, Li Xing just felt he was winking and smirking, even inexplicably excited.
Chu Yunyi hurriedly explained, "Ninth Granduncle, you've misunderstood. Li Xing is just a friend of your grandnephew."
The elderly man's expression immediately turned indifferent, and he pouted, "Tsk."
Li Xing: ...What the heck are you 'tsk-ing' at! ( ̄ェ ̄;)
"What brings you here today?"
Chu Yunyi said, "Grandnephew needs to go to the Artifact Room."
The elderly man in gray was surprised, "You want to do Artifact Refining?" Then he pointed at Li Xing, "For her?" His beard twitched, "How much is she paying you?"
"I owe Ah Xing a favor, helping her with Artifact Refining to repay it."
