"Can I call you by your real name here?"

"Can."

"Can?"

Penglai aircraft, passenger cabin.

Han Mengyao sat on the luxurious leather seat, looked around, glanced at the empty passenger compartment, and then looked at the "Extraordinary King" opposite with white hair and blue eyes and an ice crystal mask, and asked cautiously:

"Can I call you by your real name? In other words, that Principal Lin Xianbai is with you? He also knows your true identity?"

"All the way? That's right. He does know my true identity."

The Extraordinary King sat opposite Han Mengyao, raised his hand and lightly touched the ice crystal mask on his face, and then the mask turned into dots of ice shavings, flying in the air.

Under the mask, Li Guanqi with white hair and blue eyes was revealed, with a faint smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Han Mengyao."

"Um, ok, long time no see."

Han Mengyao's pretty face turned red and she blinked her big eyes.

For Li Guanqi, it was nearly two years since they last met, but for her who only lives in reality, it had only been less than ten days.

"There is something wrong with the medical examination report and it is false."

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "It's just to bring you into Penglai's car. Likewise, you can't tell anyone about everything that happens now. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand." Han Mengyao nodded quickly.

"Now, let's get down to business."

Li Guanqi straightened his expression and looked at her seriously, "Your hometown is Liugui Village, and more than 400 villagers in that village are now trapped by a third-level curse spirit and are in urgent need of rescue."

"Curse spirit?!"

Han Mengyao's expression suddenly changed, "I knew it! My mother told me before that the police station in my hometown suddenly said that there was a sudden mudslide, causing the village road to be buried and impassable. People in the village could not get out, and outsiders could not get in."

They also said that the signal base station was destroyed by mudslides, and the mobile phone had no signal and could not send messages. I always thought it was strange... Now it seems that it is really because of the curse!"

"So……"

Li Guanqi looked at her and said softly: "Are you willing to help and save them?"

"certainly!"

Han Mengyao nodded quickly, "That's my hometown, my grandparents are still there!"

"It'll be okay, don't worry too much."

Li Guanqi's blue eyes were filled with extremely strong confidence, "I will bring your grandparents out intact, provided that I need your help. Of course, I promise that you will never suffer any harm."

Danger."

"Believe me."

"Or..."

Li Guanqi brushed his face with his right hand, and an ice crystal mask firmly covered his face again.

"Believe, the extraordinary king."

Um……

There are no outsiders here, so it would be silly to do this suddenly.

Too much.

Li Guanqi suddenly felt embarrassed and knocked the ice crystal mask off his face.

"How can I help you?"

But Han Mengyao didn't pay attention to this, she just held her clothes tightly with both hands and looked at him nervously.

"Just follow me."

Li Guanqi looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Stay with me and don't leave, especially in the gray fog.

Don’t worry, after discovering the entrance to the Curse Spirit Realm, I will let you leave safely, and you don’t need to follow me into Liugui Village to take risks.”

"oh oh."

Han Mengyao looked at him for two seconds, then her fair and tender face turned slightly red, she blinked and quickly turned her head to avoid Li Guanqi's gaze.

She looked at the wings of the plane outside the window, her face became increasingly red with embarrassment, and she asked as if to divert her attention: "Well, my grandparents, will they be okay?"

oh?

Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows slightly.

This reaction...is wrong.

If she is really, really worried about her grandpa and grandma from the bottom of her heart, then she shouldn't have this expression.

At this time, Han Mengyao was not so much worried about the safety of her grandparents as "she felt that she should be worried about her grandparents."

Why?

Li Guanqi made a judgment quickly.

Because she is "unfamiliar" with her grandparents.

This is a very normal phenomenon.

In many rural families, grandparents live in their hometown, while their parents work in the city. Children born in the city basically only return to their hometown during the Chinese New Year.

Maybe I won’t go back every year.

This situation will lead to the fact that the children and their grandparents are not close, or even alienated - in fact, this is the situation in Li Guanqi's own family.

This is not surprising.

If you have never met your grandparents even a few times since you were a child, then in most cases, it will be difficult for you to have any affection for your grandparents.

This is not indifference, it is just a matter of fact, which is human nature.

In addition to blood connections, human relationships are more important than getting along with each other.

but.

Any person with normal outlook on life, even if he has not seen his grandparents a few times since he was a child, will still show concern if he hears the news that they are sick, and then calls his grandparents to say hello and so on.

.

Just like when Li Guanqi's grandparents passed away one after another, his father was very sad, but what about him?

Of course, he couldn't feel any sadness for these two relatives whom he had never met even a few times since childhood.

But he still showed a sad state at the funeral.

This is not an act derived from emotion.

It is responsibility and obligation.

You know that they are your grandparents, so you know that you should respect them and act accordingly for their safety - but this is not emotion, just responsibility.

Han Mengyao was in such a situation at this time.

Obviously, she was not familiar with her grandparents, but when she heard that something happened in Liugui Village and her grandparents might be in danger, she still felt worried.

But this is just a concern based on blood relations, not true family affection.

"Have you never seen your grandparents a few times since you were a child? Are you...not very familiar with them?"

Li Guanqi looked at Han Mengyao opposite and asked softly.

"Eh? How do you know?"

Han Mengyao was stunned.

"Because I'm in the same situation."

Li Guanqi smiled, and then said: "Don't worry, your grandparents will be fine, I promise."

"Well, thank you."

Han Mengyao hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Actually, it's not just that we are not familiar with each other, but that the relationship is not very good at all, because my grandparents... well, how should I put it, the old people's ideas are very feudal.

They always said that according to the custom of Liugui Village, when I come of age, they will marry me to a villager.

I have been saying it since I was a child, and I have been saying it.

When I was sixteen years old, my grandparents told my dad that they would take me to the village and go door to door to see who I wanted, and they also talked about getting engaged in advance...

Then my dad got really angry and had a big fight with my grandparents.

Until now, we have not been back to celebrate the New Year for two consecutive years.

I just celebrated my eighteenth birthday last month, and my grandma called my dad and asked him to take me back to the village to get married. That day, my dad completely blocked my grandparents’ phone calls."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Guanqi frowned tightly.
