Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 922 - 840: Tian Shi’s Request

But after more than ten years of failures, this old professor was almost disheartened.

Ye Qingfeng’s involvement made him very happy. With Ye Qingfeng’s level of physics, there might really be a breakthrough.

Moreover, Ye Qingfeng said he had already mastered the method of extracting energy, and he believed Ye Qingfeng wouldn’t lie.

In that case, Tian Shi of course agreed, and immediately said, "Great!"

"Alright, let’s go to your lab now. I want to see the Energy Stone first." Ye Qingfeng was a bit impatient.

"Hmm, wait, no, I can’t. My granddaughter is coming back this afternoon."

Tian Shi was also very excited, but suddenly remembered today was Friday, and his granddaughter Tian Yuru should also be coming back from school.

"Your granddaughter?"

"Yes, Tian Yuru, my granddaughter. She’s in her last year of high school. Her parents are in business, and don’t have time to take care of her, so she usually stays with me," Tian Shi explained.

Ye Qingfeng nodded, not interested in his granddaughter’s affairs; he just wanted to get the waste Spirit Stone quickly.

Ye Qingfeng glanced at Tian Shi, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. So Ye Qingfeng asked, "Just say it directly. We’re researching the Energy Stone together, so we’re friends now."

"It’s like this, could you help me pick up Yuru? Her parents asked me to take care of her, but I’m an old man, I can’t manage her. I thought you youngsters might connect better, plus you’re talented, could you help me with Yuru? Educate her a bit."

After speaking, Tian Shi felt a bit embarrassed; such a request was somewhat impolite.

But he really couldn’t handle his granddaughter himself, being an old man who doesn’t understand the thoughts of young girls, unable to enter her world, much less begin to educate her.

"Sure." Ye Qingfeng thought for a moment and agreed.

Although he wasn’t keen on dealing with such young girls’ matters, he wanted the Energy Stone, and it belonged to Tian Shi, so he considered it as a repayment.

"Hello, Tian Yuru? I’m Ye Qingfeng, your grandpa asked me to pick you up." Ye Qingfeng called her after arriving near the high school Tian Yurou attended.

The East Sea Attached Middle School is considered a prestigious school in Hai City. The kids there are either rich or noble, indicating Tian Yuru’s parents are quite successful in business.

"Alright, got it, my grandpa mentioned it. Come to the Starbucks next to the school," a crisp but somewhat impatient voice came from the other end of the call.

Inside Starbucks.

Tian Yuru pouted, hanging up the phone in annoyance.

"Xiao Rou, whose call was that?"

A girl clad in designer brands sitting next to Tian Yuru asked.

"Ugh, don’t mention it, my grandpa insists on sending someone to pick me up. He said it’s someone from their university, probably one of his students." Tian Yuru replied, looking troubled.

She couldn’t understand why her grandpa was making a fuss about someone picking her up when she was supposed to attend Lu Tiantian’s birthday party today.

Lu Tiantian was the girl who just spoke and was also Tian Yuru’s best friend.

"Oh, that’s not bad, a top student from Eastern University. Maybe your grandpa is trying to set you up with a boyfriend?" Lu Tiantian teased.

"What are you talking about? You know my old man, he’s such a rigid old professor, how could he possibly be trying to set me up with a boyfriend?" Tian Yuru said without much humor.

"True, but so what if he’s a top student from Eastern University? How could he match our Xiao Rou, the school beauty? These college students can’t compare to Ji Feng!"

Ji Feng, whom Lu Tiantian mentioned, was a strong admirer of Tian Yuru, handsome, great at basketball, with an influential family background.

"Hey, what are you all saying? I don’t like Ji Feng, it’s just a college student coming to pick me up, you guys are overthinking." Tian Yuru quickly said, or else her friend would start lobbying for Ji Feng again.

"That may not be so far-fetched; after he meets our Xiao Rou, perhaps he’ll fall for her, and our Xiao Rou will gain another admirer," another girl sitting across laughed.

Ye Qingfeng walked into Starbucks and immediately noticed the table where Tian Yuru and her friends sat.

He had seen her photo on Tian Shi’s phone. These girls were all very pretty and stood out in a corner of Starbucks.

Ye Qingfeng walked straight over to Tian Yuru: "You’re Tian Yuru, right? Your grandpa sent me to pick you up."

"Ye Qingfeng, nice to meet you. Have a seat first."

Tian Yuru appeared polite, yet also exuded a sense of distance.

Ye Qingfeng looked refined and decent, but unfortunately, his clothes were cheap, making it obvious he was ordinary, not from their world.

Lu Tiantian also glanced at Ye Qingfeng, assessing his entire outfit, which added up to only a few hundred yuan, less than one of her accessories.

"I won’t sit down; your grandpa asked me to take you home, let’s go," Ye Qingfeng said directly, not wanting to waste time since he had promised Lin Beishan to treat him that afternoon.

"So you’re picking up our Xiao Rou to go home, oh, then you must have driven here, what kind of car is it?" Lu Tiantian asked with a cheeky smile.

"I don’t have a car, I took a taxi," Ye Qingfeng replied, though he could have just run over here; his speed when sprinting wasn’t slower than a car, but it would be too eye-catching.

"Pfft, you took a taxi? To pick up our Xiao Rou, brother, you’re too funny!"

Lu Tiantian almost couldn’t stop herself from spraying her coffee out; the other girls couldn’t help but cover their mouths, laughing.

Ye Qingfeng frowned slightly, not because he felt insulted, but because he didn’t want to bicker with these little girls.

If not for Tian Shi and the waste Spirit Stone, he would have just turned and left.

"Lu Tiantian!" Tian Yuru felt Lu Tiantian was being too blunt and looked at Ye Qingfeng, "Sorry, I have to attend my friend’s birthday party, you can go if you have business."

Ye Qingfeng found it troublesome but still said, "Alright, I’ll wait for you!"

Since he promised Tian Shi, he intended to fulfill his word and send Tian Yuru back, then it would have nothing to do with him.

Lu Tiantian looked at Ye Qingfeng with disdain, considering it her birthday party, and seeing that even after Yuru suggested he leave, he had the nerve to stay.

This was clearly someone Grandpa Tao introduced to pursue Xiao Rou, but how could a poor college student be worthy of Xiao Rou!

At this moment, a group of bright and cheerful teenagers came from outside, with a tall boy waving his hand.

"Huo Dong and the others are here. Let’s go," Lu Tiantian also waved excitedly toward outside.

Ye Qingfeng followed them out of Starbucks and saw Lu Tiantian in an embrace with the boy they called Huo Dong.

"Tiantian, who is he?" Huo Dong asked curiously, with one hand around Lu Tiantian.

He hadn’t seen Ye Qingfeng before, and Ye Qingfeng’s outfit was completely different from theirs. They were all rich kids, naturally vibrant and fashionable, making Ye Qingfeng stand out with his appearance.
