Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 965 - 549: Reunion After More Than 50 Years (Part 2)

In the vice chair sat a girl around their age, who bore some resemblance to the elderly man.

Even while seated, she kept an erect posture, her face was pretty, and her short black hair reached only her earlobes. She showed no expression, looking quite stern.

As Xu Ying and the others pushed the door open and entered, the two people sitting stood up.

The previously stern old man revealed an expression of surprise mingled with joy: "Yingying, it’s really you, you truly... haven’t changed a bit."

Xu Ying’s eyes widened: "Oh my god, you’ve... become so old!"

Although in this world, fifty or sixty years had passed, for Xu Ying it hadn’t been that long.

She had traveled through time, the last time she saw this person in front of her, for her, it was only...

A few days ago.

"It’s been fifty-five years, I’m already eighty, how could I not be old." The old man sighed, "I really didn’t expect to see you again before I die."

"Wow..." Although Xu Ying had mentally prepared herself, she was still somewhat taken aback. She looked at the girl beside the old man, "Is this..."

"This is my granddaughter, her name is Wei Shishi." The old man introduced the girl beside him to Xu Ying, who also slightly nodded and bowed.

"Oh my god, you have a granddaughter!" Xu Ying exclaimed in shock.

Though she had crossed time many times, seeing her familiar people grow old and have descendants was truly shocking.

"Haha, it’s been over fifty years." The old man then looked at Li Wenxi, who had been silently observing him with curiosity, and laughed: "Is this the person you said could help us through the crisis?"

"That’s right, this is my sister-in-law!" Xu Ying immediately pulled her to her side and introduced her proudly.

"Ah, hello!" Li Wenxi quickly responded, "I’m Li Wenxi."

"Hello. Your sister-in-law...?" The old man was taken aback, "Isn’t your brother already..."

"Yeah, hey, it’s impressive you still remember things from over fifty years ago." Xu Ying laughed, "This story is quite long, but she is indeed the one my brother liked, and she also possesses special abilities, she can surely help you."

The old man, who initially was not very confident when he saw the young girl beside Xu Ying, had his eyes brighten up upon hearing she was Xu Xin’s beloved: "That’s wonderful, Miss Li Wenxi, we’ve been waiting for you to help us."

"Ah, just call me Wenxi, sir!" Li Wenxi quickly waved her hands, "I’m just a normal person."

The girl who had been silently beside the old man, Wei Shishi, also looked at Li Wenxi with a changed gaze.

She spoke: "Grandfather said that over fifty years ago, that girl named Xu Ying told him that we would face a turning point in fate about fifty or sixty years later. Is this what she was talking about?"

She showed no expression, even as she spoke, her tone devoid of emotion, like a lawyer conducting business, solemn and serious.

More solemn than the seemingly stern old man. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

So solemn that Li Wenxi didn’t know how to speak to her, feeling that if she spoke too casually, the other person might get offended...

"Um, shouldn’t it be now?" Xu Ying replied ambiguously.

"It should..." Wei Shishi frowned, "Grandfather has waited for news from you for over fifty years, and you say only ’should’?"

"Shishi." The old man stopped the girl’s questioning, "Do not be so rude."

"Why, so suddenly?" Xu Ying, caught off guard by the unfriendly confrontation, was slightly discontented, "Why do I feel like you’re holding a grudge against me, did I do something?"

"...You suddenly left back then, do you know...!"

"Shishi!" The old man’s tone suddenly became stern, causing Wei Shishi to close her mouth.

She slightly turned her head away, ceasing to speak.

Li Wenxi looked at the girl, blinking, pursing her lips, she felt she was about to smile.

This Wei Shishi, seemed very serious and poised, but once she spoke...

Gave off a sense of youthful stubbornness.

"Did I suddenly leave?" Xu Ying was a bit confused, "Before I left, I should have said goodbye, right? How can it be counted as leaving suddenly?"

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that." The old man, a bit embarrassed, glared at his now silent granddaughter, then said, "Let’s talk business."

He looked at Li Wenxi: "May I ask, Miss Wenxi, how can you help us get through this crisis?"

...

On the ground, during Shi Wanyun’s narration, Lou Fei’Er returned.

In her arms was a little creature curled up asleep.

As soon as she returned, she saw Zeng Tao looking a bit sulky sitting beside the World Tree.

"Why are you sitting here? Where’s Xu Xin?" Lou Fei’Er, seeing Zeng Tao throwing small stones at the ground, asked curiously, "What are you doing, you seem a bit angry?"

"Of course I’m angry!" Zeng Tao immediately stood up, exclaiming angrily, "That bastard Xu Xin took over my treehouse and won’t even let me in, doing who knows what with that Shi Wanyun in there!"
