Yang Chengxuan instinctively turned his gaze towards his younger sister. Yang Mengchen gave a smile to indicate that everything was alright, "Third Brother, take Grandpa Kong to the backyard. Big Brother, prepare some hot water. Second Brother and Fourth Brother, clean out a room for Grandpa Kong to stay in."

Yang Chengxuan immediately stepped forward to lead the elder to the backyard, while his three brothers went off to make the necessary preparations.

"Grandpa Kong is like a playful old child; everyone will get used to it soon." Seeing that her family members were all startled by the elder's words and actions, Yang Mengchen consoled them with a smile, "By the way, Grandpa, Grandpa Kong is about the same size as you. Please find a new set of clothes for him to change into."

Old Master Yang returned to his room to fetch some clothes.

The rest came back to their senses and secretly sighed: The elder was truly an oddity.

No one noticed that Hua Ziyu's ink-dark eyes contained a hint of sharpness, and his lips held a gentle, breeze-like smile.

Entering the kitchen, Yang Mengchen started preparing lunch. With the gourmands, Old Hai and Third Brother Luo, and now adding Grandpa Kong, there would be plenty to keep her busy.

"Ms. Yang has struck gold this time," Hua Ziyu said, entering the kitchen at some unknown point.

At that moment, only Yang Mengchen and Mo Mei were in the kitchen; Xiao Wanxue and her servant had gone out on an errand, and Wu Xuehua and her sisters-in-law were in the backyard preparing lunch for the craftsmen.

Yang Mengchen, as if she had not heard, continued pondering what dishes to make while preparing the ingredients.

It was Mo Mei who paused, then appeared thoughtful.

Seeing Yang Mengchen seemingly uninterested, Hua Ziyu's eyebrows softened, and his gaze became clear and ripple-like, "Weichi Kong, in his youth, was known alongside Old Hai, Old Man Wuwei, and Guiyun Mountain Man as 'The Four Heroes of the World'. Later, he established Youming Palace, which became a powerful force with numerous disciples.

Weichi Kong's martial arts reached the pinnacle, and despite his arrogant and willful nature, he acted on whims and was known as 'Sai Yanluo'. He's also a big food lover; wherever there is good food, he is sure to be found. It's just unclear why he's appeared here?"

Shock filled Mo Mei's eyes; she hadn't expected that the unkempt elder was actually the renowned Sai Yanluo, almost unbelievable.

Yang Mengchen glanced sideways at Hua Ziyu, "Young Master Hua seems to know quite a lot."

"I used to be frail and had to spend my days in bed resting and reading to pass the time. I enjoy reading about unique and strange events, so I know a bit," Hua Ziyu's voice was deep, and it quickly returned to being clear and moist, "But what puzzles me is that Ms. Yang doesn't seem the least bit surprised."

From the moment they met Weichi Kong to now, Mo Mei also felt that Ms. Yang was far too calm, as if she had known all along.

"If a mere peasant girl like me knew such things, that would truly be strange. People might even think of me as a demon or freak. Don't you agree, Young Master Hua?" Yang Mengchen inquired.

Hua Ziyu nodded, "Ms. Yang's words make sense. But, didn't Ms. Yang worry about bringing someone home without knowing their intentions, with the possibility that they might harbor malice?"

"Our elders always taught us siblings to respect and honor our elders. Naturally, I wouldn't ignore someone I've come across," Yang Mengchen said with a meaningfully prolonged tone, "Besides, my family and I are not pushovers to be trifled with at will!"

Remembering Yang Mengchen's masterful Flying Needle technique, the unpredictable martial arts of the Yang brothers, and the fierce and formidable army of animals, Hua Ziyu realized he was being overcautious and smiled uncomfortably before turning to leave.

"Ms. Yang..."

"Everyone is waiting to eat."

Yang Mengchen interrupted Mo Mei's hesitations lightly and continued cooking. Before long, she had prepared ten hot dishes, six cold dishes, and a soup, then called to Yang Chengrong and his brothers to carry them to the tables in the main hall and the yard.

Emerging from the kitchen, Yang Mengchen saw Weichi Kong coming back from the backyard with a joyful demeanor; his star-like eyes and slightly wrinkled face carried an air of elegance mixed with a hint of devilry. It made one wonder how strikingly handsome he must have been in his youth. Seeing Yang Chengxuan following behind like a henpecked husband, a flicker of displeasure crossed her eyes.
