"No... I am not sleeping." Huo Liwei shook her head.
"Dinner is ready. Let's go and eat dinner," Dian Qi Qi, who also came to get Huo Liwei, said.
She pulled Huo Liwei's hand to follow him. Huo Liwei was like a little bird following Dian Qi Qi. They arrived at the dining room. Everyone got to their seats. Huo Liwei stood there watching everyone.
"Liwei, what are you doing standing there? Come and sit beside me." Dian Qi Qi urged Huo Liwei to sit beside her.
Huo Liwei awkwardly sat beside Dian Qi Qi. Dian Qi Qi was very attentive to Huo Liwei. She put food into Huo Liwei's plate.
"Here, eat this. This is delicious." Dian Qi Qi stated.
Huo Liwei did not know how to hold the chopsticks, so he reached for the food with his hand and ate it. Once the food went into his mouth, his eyes lifted up. He had never tasted anything like this.
The Dian Family watched the boy eat the food in silence. They did not bother to remind Huo Liwei to use the chopsticks. They understood everything.
"Do you like it a lot?" Dian Qi Qi asked.
Huo Liwei turned and looked at Dian Qi Qi. He nodded enthusiastically.
"That's great. You can eat a lot." Dian Qi Qi put the food into Huo Liwei's plate again.
"You are sure taking care of the boy." Grandma Shu said.
"Liwei is so cute. I like it so much." Dian Qi Qi said.
Dian Qi Qi really liked Huo Liwei. This boy was very cute. It was like he popped out from the manga.
"I already contacted the Huo Family." Grandpa Dian stated.
"Already? That is fast." Yu Qi said.
Yu Qi thought that they needed to wait until the next day for someone to go to the cultivation world to inform the Huo Family about this and come back, since there was no direct communication between the two worlds.
"We successfully created an artifact that could connect the outside world and the cultivation world." Grandpa Dian looked proud as he mentioned that.
Dian Qi Qi leaned over and whispered to Yu Qi. "It is Brother Zin Fang's work. I heard Grandpa is also involved in this project. That is why he looks so smug about that."
Yu Qi nodded understandingly. Grandpa Dian coughed once, getting everyone's attention again.
"The Huo Family told us that they would come here tomorrow," Grandpa Dian said.
"What if Liwei is not from the Huo Family? What will happen to him?" Dian Qi Qi asked.
Everyone was silent before Grandma Shu broke the silence.
"No need to think too much. If it has been approved that Liwei is not from the Huo Family, he could be adopted into our family as a disciple." Grandma Shu said. "Of course, that is only if Liwei wants it." She continued.
"Let's discuss it further later. Liwei, eat more." Grandpa Dian said.
Huo Liwei just nodded and continued to eat.
After dinner, Dian Qi Qi took Huo Liwei away. She told everyone that she would take Huo Liwei to show him something.
Yu Qi and Long Hui sat together with Grandma Shu and Grandpa Dian in the living room.
"Is that all that the Huo Family say when you explain the matter to them?" Yu Qi asked.
She noticed Grandpa Dian seemed to hide some information about the Huo Family earlier. It seemed Grandpa Dian was careful about Huo Liwei.
"You notice it?" Grandpa Dian was surprised.
"Yeah." Yu Qi nodded.
"That boy probably belongs to the Huo Family." Grandpa Dian said.
"I see. That is great, then." Yu Qi smiled. Then she noticed Grandpa Dian sighed. "Why are you sighing?"
"It is indeed great. But, there is some kind of problem within the Huo Family." Grandpa Dian said.
"I believe this boy's father is the youngest son of the current patriarch of the Huo Family, Huo Yaoting. That man ran away from home 15 years ago. He was the most talented person in the Huo Family. His father had high expectations for him. But in the end, he betrayed the Huo Family and ran away. I don't know much about what he had done, but that is what I heard." Grandpa Dian said.
"So, you are afraid that the Huo family might not accept Liwei into their family?" Yu Qi asked.
"Yes. When he ran away, he was not married yet. Since the child is here, they will assume that his mother might not be a cultivator. The Huo Family take pride in their bloodline. They might not accept this child." Grandpa Dian sighed.
Yu Qi snorted. "What bloodline? Brother Hui's parent are not cultivators, but he is stronger than the Huo Family combined." She looked smug as she praised Long Hui.
Grandma Shu and Grandpa Dian looked at each other before turning to look at Long Hui. Even though Long Hui did not seem to have a change in his expression but when they looked at his ears, they could see his ears had turned slightly red. They chuckled.
"We just need to wait for tomorrow. If the Huo family refuse to accept the child, we will adopt the child." Grandpa Dian said.
"Yeah. We can not give the child to someone who did not like him. His life would be ruined." Yu Qi added.
"Enough with the child. Let's move the topic to you." Grandma Shu said.
