Li Ye didn't expect that Cui Keli's feelings for him would be so deep. Now he has understood that if he can help Cui Keli win the position of the Cui family patriarch, then as long as there are no major mistakes in this trip to Penglai, Cui Keli will definitely take him with him. Follow the Cui family and support him to control the situation in Pinglu.
In this way, at least one of the four major families of Pinglu is on his side. It will be much more convenient for Li Ye to subdue the entire Pinglu next time, after all, everything is difficult at the beginning. The Cui family is rooted in Qingzhou, and they know Pinglu very well. They are absolute local snakes, and they can give Li Ye a lot of help in all aspects.
Thinking of this, Li Ye's determination to help Cui Keli became even firmer.
When Li Ye and Cui Keli were talking, Su Emei had already packed the food, Wei Xiaozhuang fought for a long time, the two put the food on the table, and they greeted Li Ye and Cui Keli to eat.
Su Emei's natural beauty stems from years of cultivation in the mountains, and she has an unearthly aura, but at this time she is wearing an apron and standing outside the kitchen, her hair is lightly brushed and she is looking at Li Ye, she has a bit of a feminine charm , looking no longer so far away in the sky, but within reach.
Su Emei's cooking skills can't be said to be astonishing, and the meals she cooks are not astonishing, but after all, there are many years of accumulation, the cooking is just right, and the color of the dishes is also just right , not fancy but very real, full of color and fragrance, just what home-cooked food should have, Cui Keli kept praising it, and even Wei Xiaozhuang said that Su Emei's cooking today is better than before.
Su Emei smiled politely, and responded to Cui Keli and Wei Xiaozhuang's compliments. She munched on the corn and rice, slightly raised her curved eyelashes, and peeked at Li Ye's reaction with her bright eyes.
Li Ye didn't praise anything, which made her a little disappointed, but the appearance of burying her head in the food, which can be called wolfing down, made even Su Emei, who was not personally approved by Li Ye, secretly happy, There is a sense of self-recognition of finally doing something successfully.
Li Ye quickly finished a bowl, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks for everyone to use slowly. He quickly got up and left the table, and strode out to the yard.
"Brother Li eats so little?" Wei Xiaozhuang grunted in surprise as he watched Li Ye go out.
Su Emei, who lowered her head and twirled a few grains of corn in the bowl, hesitated slightly with the hand holding the chopsticks, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and her ears turned slightly red.
When she saw Li Ye gobbling it up earlier, she thought that Li Ye thought it was delicious, so she whetted her appetite. Now that she saw Li Ye quickly putting down the bowl and chopsticks, she clearly couldn't eat anymore. She couldn't help but think, that before A bowl of food must be finished by pinching your nose, no wonder you move so fast, I'm afraid you can't stand the unpleasant taste, that's right, Mr. Li is clearly a son from a rich family, he is used to fine clothes and fine food, where is he? I am used to these simple meals that I cook, and he can cook chicken and roasted rabbits so well. Of course, his cooking skills are even better. I am a girl who came down from the mountain. ? He can barely eat a bowl of rice, is he already cherishing his own face
An indescribable emotion welled up in Su E's eyebrows. The unspeakable grievance and disappointment in herself made her forget the taste of the food. Ever since she was a child, she had never felt that it was so useless. Ye, Li Ye is required to protect the enemy, and the experience in the world is even more pitiful, and she is at a loss when walking in the city... She even couldn't help suspecting that the meals she cooked in the Taoist temple were really similar to the master and the little girl. As Zhuang said, is it delicious
The meal was so tasteless that Su Emei didn't even bother to add vegetables, but just picked up the rice grains in the bowl.
Wei Xiaozhuang cleaned up the dishes and went to wash up. Su Emei, who was overwhelmed with emotions, saw Li Ye squatting by the yard, playing with Xiaoman. Xiaoman, who was still talking nonsense to Li Ye during the day, was probably because he had been familiar with Li Ye for a long time, and now he was having a good time with Li Ye.
Su Emei pursed her red lips, which were more delicate than peach blossoms. After hesitating for a while, she moved to Li Ye's side step by step, squatted down gently, and took a peek at Li Ye. Seeing his slightly heavy expression, she couldn't help but Somewhat abrupt, she took a lot of effort, mustered up her courage, and said in a low voice: "The food is not to your liking, so you are not full, I..."
"Why is it not to your taste?" Li Ye turned around and looked at her with a face full of astonishment, his voice was a little too loud.
Seeing Li Ye's big reaction, Su Emei was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't explain her emotions clearly. She didn't know whether it was accident or joy.
Su Emei's expression made Li Ye quickly understand. He smiled wryly and apologized: "I left the table too quickly, which made you misunderstand. I will apologize to you."
Su Emei blinked her bright eyes, but she didn't realize it, her voice was full of expectation: "Is it really not bad?"
Li Ye stroked Xiaoman's head with his tongue sticking out and exhaling, and blocked the head that was close to his face. He glanced at Su Emei, and the memory of the previous life was flooded again. His voice Slightly low: "To be honest, I haven't eaten such a home-cooked dish for a long time. The strong taste reminds me of my childhood. At that time, I sat at the table in a small room with dim lights and knocked The chopsticks can't wait, looking at the mother who has worked hard all day, with sweat on her face, carrying the steaming food on the table... "
He smiled, and in his smile were the vicissitudes of countless years, the infinite nostalgia for the good memories of the past after experiencing the ups and downs of the world, the unknown sadness and loss, the chasing after the past, and the comfort to himself , his voice trembled a little: "I haven't been back for a long time, I haven't seen my mother for a long time, so long that I don't even remember how many days have passed... But I remember my mother's sweaty smile, I remember the taste of the food at that time, and I remember my mood waiting for the food to be served... "
He glanced at Su Emei, with a forced smile: "Today's meal reminds me of these, I haven't thought of them for a long time..."
He didn't go on, and he couldn't go on, just like he just had one bowl of rice to eat and was about to run away, he was afraid that he couldn't help it, he was afraid that he would lose his composure in front of everyone. He didn't want to lose his composure in front of people.

Su Emei didn't expect this to be the case. She just thought that Li Ye simply felt that the food was not tasty. Seeing Li Ye's inability to control himself and using teasing to cover up his appearance, she felt unspeakable. Looking at Li Ye's side face, Su Crescent noticed that Li Ye's shoulders were trembling slightly, and the hand touching Xiaoman's head was also trembling. She knew very well that Li Ye could think of her childhood and relatives because of the food she made with her own hands. Looking at Su E's eyebrows made her dizzy, and she instantly realized that she was so powerful.
Su Emei didn't feel her joy in detail, Li Ye desperately held back her emotions, and it fell into Su Emei's eyes, making her feel that Mr. Li is really a person with the most affection and nature, and only a pure and kind person can have such a She couldn't help feeling more fond of Li Ye when she revealed her true feelings, but she just looked a little pitiful and unbearable. The young master Li she saw these days has always been handsome and cheerful. It's hard to imagine that he is still like this. When you are vulnerable, nostalgia is always hard to control. Su Emei can understand, but she can't help but tremble slightly at the tip of her heart. Unconsciously, she reaches out her hand, which is as warm as jade, and holds Li Ye's trembling arm, wanting to comfort him.
Li Ye was startled, turned around in astonishment, and what he saw was a pair of clear and warm bright eyes, as if there was a sea of stars in those eyes, as if there was sunshine that could make Dong Xue smile.
...
On the small dirt hill behind the bamboo forest, there were three people standing against the wind, looking coldly at the courtyard where Li Ye and others were.
The leader is a young gentleman, dressed in brocade and jade belt, unruly, with a folding fan in his hand, shaking in front of his chest, but his eyes are full of resentment and viciousness, which makes him look like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.
"It's because these three people came today that Uncle asked Grandpa to compete with my father for the position of Patriarch?" Young Master Jin Yi stared at Li Ye and Su Emei, his face sinking like water.
"It's these three people, two poorly dressed Taoists, and an unknown pawn who came out of nowhere."
Beside Young Master Jin Yi, a servant nodded and bowed his head and said, "However, if Cui Keli wants to compete for the position of Patriarch, it is not because he was bewitched by these people, but because he has the desire to covet the position of Patriarch. These people are just the helpers he found, and now that the helpers are here, he will naturally take action!"
"This old man!"
Young Master Jinyi slapped the folding fan on the palm of his hand, and gritted his teeth, "It's really hateful that you have to compete with your father for the position of head of the family in the end with a noble face! Such hypocritical people must be taught a lesson!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Jinyi looked at the third person, and when he faced this person, his domineering and arrogant look disappeared without a trace, and he became very respectful. He cupped his hands and said, "I hope that Mr. Yang will not hesitate to make a move."
This cultivator surnamed Yang, with his hands behind his back, has a stern expression, and he has a domineering temperament of "climbing to the top of the mountain - I am the peak". Facing the respectful invitation from Mr. Jin Yi, he just uttered a faint voice from his nostrils. Even if it is a response.
The other party made such a gesture, but Young Master Jinyi didn't dare to be dissatisfied. Seeing that the other party agreed, he looked happy instead.
The servant's face was full of flattery, and he smiled and flattered: "Mr. Yang is the first sword in Qingzhou. If Mr. Yang makes a move, no one in Qingzhou will dare to avoid the edge. It is really hard to deal with a few Taoists from the countryside now." It’s like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, without any effort!”
This cultivator surnamed Yang, called Yang Zhongxiu, is known as the number one sword in Qingzhou, and his famous technique is the Great Peng Spreading Wings Sword, which is well-known in Qingzhou.
The monk surnamed Yang was expressionless, turning a blind eye to the servant's flattery.
"What do you know, get out!"
Young Master Jinyi glared at his servant, and when he turned to face Yang Zhongxiu, he smiled all over his face and said with great admiration: "Mr. Yang's Dapeng Spreading Wings Sword is full of praise even from the Taoist priest of Penglai. In the past, when Mr. Yang visited Penglai Xianmen, Penglai once asserted that in less than twenty years, the roc will spread its wings and sword, and it will be famous all over the world!"
Yang Zhongxiu's face finally looked better when the horse caught the spot, but he still just waved his hand lightly, with an impatient tone: "It's just a small fish and shrimp, if it's not for the sake of your son, Yang will not even look at it." .Since the young master wants to do something, then hurry up, after cleaning them up, Yang has to go back to practice."
"Yes, yes, I don't dare to delay Yang Gong's cultivation, let's go now, how about it?"
