Isn’t this elder the very Old Xiu who brushed past Luo Qianqian and the other two?

Elder Chu was going to do an appraisal for that very Old Xiu.

It’s just that Luo Qianqian didn’t recognize them and could only rely on intuition to judge that these two elderly gentlemen had no ill intent.

"Let’s go talk at my place; it’s too messy here." Seeing the people obviously craning their necks curiously, Old Xiu slightly frowned and led Luo Qianqian out of the close courtyard first.

Elder Deng looked helpless, having no choice but to follow behind, glancing at Tang Tianyi: "Don’t worry, he’s not a bad guy..."

The dissatisfaction on Tang Tianyi’s face was evident, even if he knew Luo Qianqian wasn’t in danger, being taken away just like that still made him unhappy, okay?

Entering another close courtyard, Luo Qianqian opened her mouth in astonishment.

Can someone tell her what on earth is going on?

The implication of what was said earlier seemed to be that Elder Deng was actually the owner of that courtyard???

Elder Deng turned out not to be just an ordinary senior with a special identity, but a very special one?

One must know that ordinary people generally wouldn’t own such a big close courtyard.

"Luo Qianqian, one of the owners of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, owner of Han Moxuan, the only granddaughter of Luo Guohui, with a missing father, a remarried mother who has a son, an elder brother..." Listening to Old Xiu recite her information, Luo Qianqian only slightly narrowed her eyes.

Her file was a top secret part, ordinary people simply couldn’t see it.

Tang Tianyi also began to doubt the identities of these two.

"Of course, the most important thing is, you are one of the ’Blank’ members."

Blank??? Luo Qianqian looked at Old Xiu in surprise, what’s that? Could it be their organization?

But having heard ’organization, organization’ being mentioned, come to think of it, she really didn’t know the name of the organization.

However, Tang Tianyi had already pulled Luo Qianqian behind him to protect her, his face full of gravity.

Blank, is the name of their organization.

Because they couldn’t appear publicly, the files were a blank, hence the name, which was something heard offhand before.

Moreover, the file of each member is top secret, unrelated persons cannot verify.

So does that mean...

The two elders in front aren’t the ’related persons’, those high-ranking and meritorious figures are Blank’s members... or, the thieves who stole the files!

"It’s good to be cautious, it seems we haven’t introduced ourselves yet." Elder Deng laughed heartily at Tang Tianyi’s demeanor, nodding with satisfaction: "My name is Deng Panlun."

Tang Tianyi’s actions immediately froze, what, an army commander, Deng Panlun?

Instantly, his face carried a trace of scrutiny, although he had sensed the other’s military identity, wasn’t this rank a bit too high?

"I’m Xiu Luo, though my name is Xiu Luo, I’m very gentle."

Old Xiu also stated his identity.

Tang Tianyi staggered on his feet, almost falling down, what kind of dumb luck is this? Running into one of them is already lucky, but to run into both?

An army commander, a finance department minister, no, now should add a ’former’ to those titles.

Yet Luo Qianqian was still in a daze, forgive her ignorance, other than knowing Kudo Shinichi is Edogawa Conan, she really didn’t know who else anyone was.

Tang Tianyi, however, gave a standard military salute to the two.

"Alright, alright, we’re outside, no need for so many courtesies." Deng Panlun chuckled, looking at the little girl, only to find her eyes full of confusion, he suddenly felt a bit collapsed: "You, don’t know who we are?"

"If I knew, would I still stand here doing nothing? I would have recognized you by name immediately if I knew early on? I’m not a phonebook, can’t match people to identities." Luo Qianqian pouted, saying all that in one breath.

Tang Tianyi looked at Luo Qianqian with trepidation, talking to these people like this??? He felt a little weak in the knees, was he going to take Luo Qianqian and wander the world now?

"Well, yes, I was comrades with your grandfather." Deng Panlun was not surprised by Luo Qianqian’s reaction, bursting into laughter.

He knew that no matter how smart this girl was, she wouldn’t know everything.

Luo Qianqian’s mouth gaped in surprise, immediately bowing: "Hello, Elder Deng, next time I’ll buy you better sweet potatoes."

Standing upright, she looked at Elder Xiu and bowed again: "Hello, Elder Xiu, next time... I’ll show you real Emperor Green."

"This girl is so thrifty." Elder Deng paused, then burst into laughter: "But no matter what the case, yours is still edible, I’m satisfied."

Old Xiu looked expressionless: "When did you become so easy to please, old man?"

Elder Deng then looked toward Luo Qianqian, seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he shrugged helplessly: "For your baked sweet potato, just call me Grandpa Deng, what’s with calling an old man like that? It’s not cute at all."

"Grandpa Deng." Luo Qianqian only hesitated slightly before calling out.

"Aye, good girl." Elder Deng nodded in satisfaction, laughing merrily.

Old Xiu simply turned to Luo Qianqian and pointed at himself.

Luo Qianqian blinked her eyes: "Elder Xiu, do you want some water?"

I want to spit water!!!

Old Xiu was internally exasperated! Grinding his teeth, facing Elder Deng: "Just call me Grandpa Xiu, I’m the same generation as your grandfather."

Seeing Old Xiu’s behavior, Luo Qianqian hesitated for a moment, still looking for confirmation from Elder Deng.

Elder Deng was in such a good mood for this, laughing, but after a while, he nodded to give Old Xiu some face.

"Grandpa Xiu," then, Luo Qianqian quickly called out.

"Mm." Xiu Luo then looked expressionless, why was he acting like a child? Arguing with a kid over forms of address?

Tang Tianyi at the back didn’t speak, his head kept lowered tightly.

One must know, these two in their respective domains aren’t people who just stamp their feet and shake three times? Now surprisingly letting Luo Qianqian call them grandpa???

It seems these two... have a very keen eye.

His eyesight was indeed sharp.

"Right, Qhianqhian, show us your big bowl when you have the time, I figure it might be Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain, but I can’t say for sure without seeing it." Only now did Old Xiu state his purpose.

Luo Qianqian could only nod, she had already called them grandpa, when the elders asked, the younger ones should naturally agree.

"Not now, let’s talk after Nine Heavens Pavilion opens, I’m also quite busy right now..." Luo Qianqian chuckled: "If you two have nothing to do, drop by Qhianqhian’s place? If you fancy anything, Qhianqhian won’t say a word..."

Then facing the curious gazes of the two elders, she mischievously curved her lips: "Won’t say a word and give you a ten percent discount."

... Tang Tianyi’s face slowly filled with speechlessness.

"I assure you it’s the highest discount on the day, because... that day, the store will be offering twenty percent off." Luo Qianqian then looked earnestly at the confused faces of the two elders.

... Aren’t you a shady store? The store offers 20% discount, but for them, it’s ten percent?

However, I must say, this little girl suits their taste quite well.

If it were free, they really wouldn’t dare come, even if they’ve retired, they still must uphold their integrity.
