After Ye Li and Lang Xiaoyao finished talking about this matter, they called Su Lingling over, and the three of them then left the mountain flower forest.
Lang Xiaoyao first sent Su Lingling back to the Su family, and then he accompanied Ye Li to Haidong City.
Haidong City is located on the shore of the East China Sea. The city is very large and also includes a port on the edge of the city.
The construction style of this city is very different from that of the inland. The house structure here is closer to that of the Miracle Continent, and most of them are made of bricks and stones.
After all, wooden houses are very easy to rot in places with high moisture and salt content, but there is no such worry for houses made of brick and stone structures.
After Ye Li followed Lang Xiaoyao into the city, he looked around at the buildings here. On any house here, one could find marks from the sea.
Some houses have bricks and stones inlaid with conch shells, some with scallops, and some with dried seaweed, which looks quite unique.
Following Lang Xiaoyao, they came to the east of the city. This is where the core members of the Lang family live. This is the same as the Ye family, where the core members all live in the city, while the relatively less core members live in a manor not far outside the city.
"Brother Ye, we are here. Come with me and I will take you to find my grandfather."
Lang Xiaoyao stood at the gate of the Lang family compound and said to Ye Li.
When the guards at the door saw Lang Xiaoyao, they hurriedly bowed and called him "Young Master Xiaoyao".
After Lang Xiaoyao responded casually, he took Ye Li into the Lang family compound.
The scale of the Lang family compound is much more spacious than that of the Ye family compound, and the houses inside are also made of bricks and stones, which makes it look more imposing. After all, it is a top-notch family with far more family members than the Ye family.
The total population is also a measure of a family's strength. Without enough people, a family cannot control a larger area and cannot expand its sphere of influence.
Soon, Lang Xiaoyao brought Ye Li to a big house. This must be where Lang Xiaoyao's grandfather lived.
Leading Ye Li into the house, an old man was frowning in thought.
When the old man noticed Lang Xiaoyao entering the room, his attention immediately shifted to this side.
The old man's eyes were sharp. After scanning Lang Xiaoyao, they immediately fell on Ye Li.
At this moment, Ye Li felt as if a huge wave was surging in front of him, making him unconsciously want to stop.
However, Ye Li's mental cultivation was not weak after all. A golden aura emanated from his body, which was unstoppable. He paused for a moment when he was about to stop, then took a step forward with force, as if a sharp sword had pierced into the waves.
Although the sharp sword could not cut through the waves, it allowed Ye Li to break out of them.
When Ye Li's footsteps landed firmly on the ground, the illusions around him completely disappeared, and an expression of surprise appeared on the old man's face.
"Grandpa, why are you testing my friend again!?"
Lang Xiaoyao showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Lang Xiaoyao's grandfather Lang Taotian glanced at Lang Xiaoyao and said, "Your friend this time is much stronger than the ones in the past. He has reached the Condensation Stage at such a young age and can easily break my aura. I'm sure he is not an unknown person."
Lang Xiaoyao said: "Grandpa, this is Ye Li whom I told you about before. He is a young master from the Imperial City."
Lang Taotian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Well, I’ve heard of him. He was once the number one in the Holy War, which is really amazing.
It seems that he is even more powerful than I thought. There should be no one in the younger generation of mainland China who can surpass him."
When Lang Xiaoyao heard Lang Taotian praising Ye Li, the dissatisfaction on his face turned into a smile, and he said: "That's not the case. It's incredible that such a young man has reached the Condensation Stage, isn't it, Grandpa?"
Lang Taotian said: "It is indeed incredible."
Seeing that the two had spoken, Ye Li hurriedly stepped forward and saluted to Lang Taotian, saying, "Junior Ye Li, greetings to the senior."
"Ye Li, don't call me Grandpa, you are my friend, just call him Grandpa Lang."
Lang Xiaoyao said to Ye Li.
Ye Li glanced at Lang Taotian, and seeing that he did not object, he quickly changed the topic and said, "Ye Li meets Grandpa Lang."
Lang Taotian then smiled slightly and said, "No need to be so polite."
Lang Xiaoyao walked up to Lang Taotian and said, "Grandpa, I came here this time to ask you something important."
Lang Taotian looked at Lang Xiaoyao with disdain and said, "You're out there fooling around with that Su girl all day long, what big deal can you come to me for
Don't tell me that your big plan is to propose marriage to the Su family. Don't tell me that I, your grandfather, am against this marriage. Even if I don't object, I don't have the time now.
The shark chase is coming soon, and I am really worried about this matter. "
Lang Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Grandpa, I saw that you were sleepy, so I brought you a pillow, didn't I
Do you think it would be a good idea to let Ye Li help us in the Sea Shark Chase? With him, we should be the winner this time."
Lang Taotian was stunned and asked, "Ye Li is here to participate in the Sea Shark Chase
He is not yet a member of my Lang family. Even if he is willing to join as a guest official, he must wait two years before he is eligible to participate in various major events."
Seeing that Lang Taotian didn't react, Lang Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and said to Lang Taotian with a smile: "Grandpa, I don't mean to make him an ordinary guest official, but to make him a guest elder of my Lang family."
Hearing Lang Xiaoyao's words, Lang Taotian was shocked at first, then delighted, and said, "Yes, he has already reached the stage of concentration, and is indeed qualified to challenge the Palace of the Sea, and then become a guest elder of my Lang family.
I was a little slow to react just now, after all, he looked too young, and I habitually thought of him as an ordinary guest official, forgetting that he could directly become a guest official elder."
Lang Xiaoyao said: "Grandpa, it was Ye Li himself who offered to help this time. After I told him about my family's situation, Ye Li decided to help me.
What do you think? I told you that the friends I made when I went out were all good, but you always looked at them with prejudice."
Lang Taotian glared at Lang Xiaoyao and said, "How dare you say that? Among the friends you made in the past, there were a lot of idiots and a large number of drinking and eating friends. How many of them could truly treat you as a friend and were willing to help you
Now that you finally found one, you still dare to show off in front of me?"
His words made Lang Taotian feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Aren't they all just drinking buddies? Aren't Hu Tieniu and the others all sincere men?"
Lang Taotian snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "There are only a few of them."
