Chapter 227: A Long-Awaited Friend

Ye Lin reacted, "Brother Ling, it's not that I didn't react, I'm heading over right now."

"I didn't expect Li Jiayi to come and help us at this time."

Qingling looked at Ye Lin and said, "You've helped her so many times; surely anyone would come to help you at a time like this."

"Besides, I see how happy you sound calling her 'Jiayi' every other word. I bet you've got quite a few feelings stirring inside you right now."

Ye Lin did not refute Qingling's words; he was indeed quite happy inside.

Qingling looked at Li Jiayi outside the gate of the Profound Heaven Sect, "Go quickly, don't keep her waiting."

"I didn't expect Li Jiayi's speed of Cultivation to be so fast, reaching the Soul Transformation Stage. No wonder she ran all the way from the Limitless Dynasty to help you."

Ye Lin didn't hesitate any longer and headed toward the gate of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Before long, Ye Lin arrived in front of Li Jiayi.

The people around saw Ye Lin appear, and it immediately caused a stir.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lin brought Li Jiayi back to his courtyard.

Ye Lin looked at Li Jiayi, "Jiayi, I didn't expect you to run over at this time."

"Is everything alright on your end?"

Li Jiayi shook her head, "It's fine, there won't be any problems on our side for the time being."

"Originally, when I first received information about the Demon Race, I wanted to come and help you, but we couldn't get away at that time."

"Fortunately, at this final moment, I was able to come and help you."

"Now I also have the cultivation of the Soul Transformation Stage. Although I know that in this war against the Demon Race, it's normal for those in the Soul Transformation Stage to fall, and even beings in the Void Refinement Stage have fallen, I am not afraid of any of this."

"I am, after all, from the Limitless Dynasty, and I still have quite a few tricks up my sleeve."

"My Old Ancestor also gave me something to save my life, which is why they let me come out. Otherwise, my father would never have let me come here."

Ye Lin nodded. He knew that Li Jiayi's Old Ancestor had some miraculous and special means; he had benefited greatly from them back in the Limitless Dynasty.

Ye Lin said, "It's fine. With me here, everything will be alright."

Upon hearing this, Qingling said, "Good lad, that's the kind of confidence I like to see."

Li Jiayi knew of Ye Lin's achievements; people in the Limitless Dynasty basically knew of Ye Lin's existence now.

Ye Lin was too dazzling in the Southern Region. Li Jiayi knew Ye Lin was very strong, strong enough to contend with the Demon Race in the Void Refinement Stage.

But Li Jiayi also wanted to help Ye Lin; even if she couldn't help in Ye Lin's battles, she still wanted to help the people on Ye Lin's side.

Ye Lin looked into the distance, "The Demon Race might take a few more days. Stay here with me for now."

"It will also be good to learn about the current situation in the Southern Region."

After listening, Li Jiayi nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Ye Lin thought of something, "Jiayi, you might as well take this opportunity to meet my friends."

"You haven't seen them in a long time, right? They have all changed a lot, especially that Little Girl, Han Ting."

Li Jiayi smiled, "Alright. I wanted to meet them when I came. I still remember your friend named Su Yu."

"The food he makes left such a deep impression on me; I had never eaten such delicious food before. Even after all these years, I still remember it."

Ye Lin laughed, "Absolutely. Brother Su's culinary skills are unrivaled."

"Without further ado, let's head over."

Before long, Ye Lin arrived at Han Shi's house. Han Ting was also nearby, and as it happened, all three of them were there.

Han Shi and Wang Yuyan saw Ye Lin arrive, and then they saw Li Jiayi behind Ye Lin.

They realized immediately and glanced at Ye Lin.

The couple, Han Shi and his wife, said, "Miss Li, it's been a long time. Welcome, welcome."

Han Ting also realized and came before Li Jiayi, "Sister Li, long time no see."

Li Jiayi looked at Han Ting, "Long time no see, Tingting. In the blink of an eye, you are no longer that Little Girl from before. I heard about your achievements when I came here."

"Tingting is really amazing; you've already reached the Nascent Soul Stage and defeated so many Demon Clan members. I remember what you said back then; I didn't expect you to have achieved it by now."

Han Ting said, "It's thanks to the guidance of Uncle Ye and the others that I have my current achievements."

Li Jiayi smiled.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Lin said, "Let's go to Brother Su's place; he's the only one left."

Ye Lin and the others walked toward Su Yu's house.

It didn't take long for them to see Su Yu sitting in the courtyard.

When Su Yu learned that Li Jiayi had arrived, he guessed that they would definitely come.

Su Yu looked at Li Jiayi next to Ye Lin, "Miss Li, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Brother Su. The delicious food you made back then still feels amazing to me even now."

Su Yu smiled, "I just like to tinker with these things in my spare time. Since it's rare to meet, please sit down first."

"I happen to have some ingredients I haven't used yet; I'll take them out for everyone to taste this time."

Hearing this, Han Shi said, "I'm in for a treat again. Every time I come to Brother Su's to eat, it's an enjoyment."

"Wait a moment, I'll be ready in a jiffy."

Li Jiayi looked at the surrounding environment. After so many years, this place had become even more beautiful. Although the flowers and plants in the courtyard were of low rank, they were very beautiful.

Back then, these plants hadn't grown as well as they did now. Li Jiayi knew back then that Su Yu was someone who preferred enjoying life over Cultivation.

She felt that Cultivation would be faster in such an environment.

The flowers in Su Yu's courtyard had all been concealed by him.

Only he could see their true appearance, along with Su Ling'er.

Otherwise, having those rare items planted in the courtyard would look strange no matter how you looked at it.

Su Yu went to the barbecue grill. He had improved this grill again, making the food grilled on it even more delicious.

Su Yu took out some special ingredients he had obtained from the Western Region back then.

Anyway, after his processing, no one would know these ingredients came from the Western Region.

Soon, as the aroma of the food filled the air, everyone in the courtyard had their appetites whetted.

They all had only one thought now, and that was to taste this delicacy quickly.

Soon, Su Yu brought the prepared food over, "The dishes are served, please enjoy, Honored Guests."

Ye Lin and Han Shi knew that Su Yu was a waiter at the Seeking Flowers Tavern in Cloud Sky City back then.

Ye Lin and Han Shi looked at each other and smiled.

After Su Yu finished, he sat down.

Everyone looked at the table full of food and couldn't wait any longer.

Just as Su Yu was about to take out his wine.

Ye Lin took his out first.

"This is a jar of wine I accidentally obtained some time ago. Let's take this opportunity to have a good drink together."

At this moment, on the Demon Race's side, their people had already finished assembling.

The last batch of Demon Race members was also about to arrive.

Southern Region, are you ready?
