Otherworldly-Cultivator

When Chen Li, Feng Xian'er, and Feng Ao entered the three-story building. Several people's eyes fell on him, and they raised their eyebrows, for they still didn't recognize him.

Inside, several people were already waiting for them: Chen Meiyi, Chen Wei'er, Lin Yin, Xi Ling, Ai Xiaoxue, and a very intimate couple.

Out of all of them, only Lin Yin and the couple still didn't recognize Chen Li's identity, for they had not met him before.

"Come here, and sit with us; we've been waiting for you." Chen Meiyi said as she pulled up the empty chair beside her.

Chen Li nodded and sat on Chen Meiyi's right side, and Feng Xian'er was directly on her husband's right side. As for Feng Ao, he had to sit by Chen Wei'er's side.

Chen Li turned to the intimate lovers. "Hey, Guo Qing! Li Xue! You two are getting intimate now."

"Huh? Who are you?" The couple asked simultaneously, and they still couldn't recognize Chen Li's identity, for Yun Zhi had not said anything to them, then Guo Qing asked Feng Xian'er. "Who is he, Dasao? How did he recognize us?" (A/N: Dàsǎo = Older brother's wife.)

"En, who exactly is he, Xian'er?" Li Xue also asked her.

Chen Li's mouth twitched at their reaction, and Feng Xian'er replied with a chuckle. "You two have been friends since childhood, but you can't recognize him, Guo Qing. Do you think I will get close to another man?"

Guo Xing and Li Xue's eyes widened in shock, and their jaws dropped; they couldn't recognize that the silver-haired man in front of them had been their best friend since childhood.

Even Lin Yin, Chen Li's cousin, was also shocked to hear that; she also couldn't recognize her cousin because his appearance had changed drastically. It made her unable to take her eyes off him, and her heart pounded hard at seeing his handsome face.

"Are you really Brother Chen?" Guo Qing asked curiously; he still couldn't believe he was Chen Li.

Chen Li frowned and spoke with a mischievous smile. "I remember a man who put Li Xue's photo on a bolster and practiced with it to confess his feelings to her."

Feng Xian'er burst out laughing as soon as Chen Li said that; Guo Qing was stunned momentarily, then lowered his red face in embarrassment.

Even Li Xue laughed in amusement at that, and she asked him. "Did he really do that before, Brother Chen?"

"When we were in grade 10, he invited me to his house and did it in front of me many times." Chen Li replied with a nod as he chuckled. "Would you like to know anything else, Li Xue?"

"Stop! Stop it! Brother Chen!" Guo Qing immediately blurted out in embarrassment, then he said with a pitiful expression. "Okay... Okay... I'm sorry I didn't recognize you earlier, so don't say anything more."

Chen Li shrugged nonchalantly. "Anyway, when are you two getting married?"

They were stunned by his question, and Li Xue blushed, then Guo Qing answered him. "Hey, we just started college, so we're only getting married after graduation."

"En, that's also good." Chen Li said with a nod. "Anyway, Xian'er and I are married now, but we will only have our wedding party in the future."

"Huh?" They cried out in shock at that.

Even Lin Yin looked shocked hearing that. Although she and Chen Li are cousins, they are not very close, especially since she is several years older than him. 'He's married, huh? But they are the perfect couple, and they grew up together since childhood.'

Li Xue asked Feng Xian'er with a look of disbelief. "Is it true you guys are married now? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Haha." Feng Xian'er laughed and replied with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Xue. Since we only had a civil marriage, we haven't told anyone other than our families about our marriage. However, we will definitely invite everyone to our wedding party in the future."

"That's good! I don't want to miss my best friend's wedding party, so you have to invite me, and I will be your maid of honor!" Li Xue exclaimed loudly.

Feng Xian'er nodded to her. "All right, you will be my maid of honor later."

Before long, Yun Zhi and Lin Qingzhu, who had been cooking in the kitchen, came out with several dishes.

All of the dishes were Yun Zhi's creations, and she was planning to use them on the restaurant menu later, so she purposely cooked them for a trial dish first.

Yun Zhi prepared several dishes of fish, pork, lamb, beef, chicken, goose, shrimp, crab, eel, and some vegetable dishes. They then tried the dishes individually and seemed to enjoy them all.

"En, Aunt Yun's cooking is indeed the best ever." Chen Li said as he ate some of the dishes that Feng Xian'er had put on his plate, the people present also agreed with his opinion, and he continued. "For the menu, you can arrange yourself, Aunt Yun. And also for the kitchen staff, you can choose people who you feel have good skills and are suitable to accompany you in the kitchen later."

"En, I've already selected a few people, and they've also agreed, Li'er." Yun Zhi said with a nod. "If you agree with my choices of people, we can open this restaurant as soon as possible."

Lin Qingzhu then asked. "What name did you choose for this restaurant, Li'er?"

Chen Li immediately answered his mother's question. "We will use the name Qingshui Restaurant, and the name of my mansion is Qingshui Mansion."

"Qingshui?" Lin Qingzhu asked in surprise; she didn't know where her son got the idea to use the name Qingshui.

"En, Qingshui for Clear Water." Chen Li explained as he nodded.

"Clear water, huh?" Lin Qingzhu muttered to herself. "All right then, we'll use that name."

After that, they continued their meal as they casually chatted. They talked about the opening date of Qingshui Restaurant, and Chen Li also discussed his plans for advertisements and the like with Ai Xiaoxue since she wanted to be the public relations officer of Qingshui Restaurant.

Ai Xiaoxue was impressed with his plans and targets, so she accepted Chen Li's previous offer. As for Xi Ling, she also decided to accept his offer. She and Lin Yin will be the Hostess and Head waitress as he originally planned.

After they finished, Lin Qingzhu, Yun Zhi, and Chen Wei'er stayed behind in the restaurant to discuss the opening in more detail.

Ai Xiaoxue, Xi Ling, and Lin Yin decided to return to their respective workplaces, for they needed to submit their resignations.

Feng Ao also left the restaurant and went to his office. Chen Meiyi decided to enter the Tianyi Realm, for she had to stabilize her gradually returning cultivation.

As for Chen Li and Feng Xian'er, they decided to go with their two best friends, Guo Qing and Li Xue.

Meanwhile, Yu Hua, who had just woken up from sleep, was surprised to see a message on her smartphone. However, she was even more surprised when she saw the message's contents. 'Lian'er, huh? It seems that I should return to the Yang House for now, and I will help Mo Xie to get to her; only then can I get my revenge for what they did to me over the past years.'

"Why are you smiling weirdly, Big Sis?" Yu Xuan asked her big sister as she walked out of the bathroom.

Yu Hua called her little sister to sit beside her, then explained Chen Li's message, shocking Yu Xuan. "What do you think about this matter?"

"Do you really want to hand Lian'er over to Mo Xie?" Yu Xuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

Yu Xuan knew that her big sister didn't like Bei Lian'er, especially after she became Yang Lang's second wife, which made Yu Hua estranged by their husband and his family.

However, Yu Xuan didn't expect her big sister to want to do such a thing to Bei Lian'er, and she wanted to do that to her just to get revenge on their husbands.

"Yes." Yu Hua replied with a firm nod. "Since they've made me suffer for so long, I want to destroy them both, and I'll start with Lian'er."

Yu Xuan sighed softly and thought in her heart, she thought about Chen Li's gentle attitude towards her and her big sister, which made her sure that he would not mistreat Bei Lian'er. "All right, you can see Lian'er now, and we will go together tonight."

"That's good." Yu Hua smiled contentedly at her little sister's answer. She then got off the bed, rushed to the bathroom to clean herself up, and left the apartment afterward.

Shortly after Yu Hua left, Yu Xuan heard the doorbell ring and immediately rushed to open it. However, she was surprised to see her husband, Bei Xiang, standing at the door. "What did you come here for? Didn't you kick me out of your house already?"
