CHAPTER 1045: 1122: THE HEAVENLY KING, THE OLD MAN, DID NOT SLEEP MUCH

For example, taking a book from the shelf, the wife can scoop up a bunch at once, while Shu Yu leisurely takes down one, reads it, and then slowly puts it back before taking down another one.

But overall, the speed at which the two flip through books is uncanny.

Flipping through books fast doesn’t prove anything, but the issue is... maybe it’s "birds of a feather"? The two hurriedly flip through a book, and the knowledge in the book imprints on their minds.

Yi Ran resignedly squatted in the kitchen stoking the fire, waiting for the pot to steam, and seeing that the food was about to be ready.

He stood up and stretched, then bounced off wanting to find Liang Shuyu, but at this moment, Elder Sun mocked, "What now? No greeting, and you just bring those strangers here, let them read my books, and now you expect me to host them for supper?"

Yi Ran stiffened, "I say, you old man, you’re really stingy. You’re the Grand Elder of our Witch Gu Clan, and you don’t lack Silver. A meal’s just a few bucks, right? How about I pay for the meal?" He wasn’t concerned for Dong Huiying, but he cared about Liang Shuyu.

This is his savior; whether he can sleep soundly henceforth all depends on Shu Yu. So, you see, this person must be served well!

Sun Elder’s face darkened, "Whether I have money or not is my business, but outsiders wanting to eat my meal is not happening!"

Yi Ran scratched his head, "Why are you so stubborn? Moreover, didn’t I say it, I can pay for them?"

Elder Sun gave Yi Ran a cold glance, "You think I’m short of money? Yi kid, pack up your indulgent habits learned from the palace! If you don’t like staying here, hurry and get lost!!"

Yi Ran choked, his face suddenly turning gloomy. "Why are you bringing up those old things?" He looked at Elder Sun with some grievance.

Elder Sun tensed his face. After speaking, he regretted a little, because it was like reopening someone’s wound. But... wasn’t he just too quick with his words?

If it wasn’t for being too forthright, offending too many in the Witch Gu Clan at first, he, the dignified Grand Elder of Witch Gu Clan, wouldn’t be in this fallen state. Getting expelled from Dajin and sent to Dayuan...

Elder Sun sighed heavily, "Let’s eat."

He said no more. Yi Ran glanced at him, thinking it was better to accept goodwill when shown. Letting this old man lend his treasured books to outsiders was already not bad.

Moreover, skipping a meal...

Yi Ran squinted his eyes, then covertly summoned Uncle Jiang, asking him to look around nearby for anything cooked that could be bought.

To put it plainly, he ultimately cares for Shu Yu. Especially since Shu Yu looks rather sickly, normally skipping a meal isn’t a big issue, but if Shu Yu skips a meal...

What if he gets sick? Wouldn’t that mean there’s no one to play the zither for him? And not hearing Shu Yu’s zither, doesn’t that mean he won’t be able to sleep soundly until Shu Yu is better?

This is absolutely unbearable.

In Yi Ran’s mind, nothing is more important than getting sleep! Anyway, he is aware of everything, and his little calculations are crackling.

Yi Ran’s little actions weren’t unnoticed by Elder Sun, who couldn’t help but glare at Yi Ran, wondering what kind of relationship those two have with this kid?
