Chapter 2117 Ye Ye’s Origin

"What's going on?? I asked you to come over to support us, why did you bring this big guy here?"

Liu Zhuangshi was shocked. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Ye and Lu Yue with suspicion, wondering in his heart what was going on.

"No, no, Uncle Liu, listen to me."

Seeing that Liu Zhuangshi had misunderstood, Lu Yue hurriedly explained. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then told Liu Zhuangshi everything that had just happened.

However, when Lu Yue was halfway through his speech, Liu Zhuangshi suddenly looked at Ye Ye with a very strange look, as if to say: "You even know Tian Qi???"

Ye Ye was startled by Liu Zhuangshi's sudden gaze. He coughed twice awkwardly, then laughed dryly and said.

"Ahem...Uncle Liu, you don't have to be so reserved. Just treat Tian Qi as an ordinary customer. If you need publicity, I'll ask her to post a circle of friends to help you promote it later."

As soon as Ye Ye finished speaking, Liu Zhuangshi jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He waved his hands and shouted in panic.

"Don't! Don't!"

Ask Tian Qi to promote his barbecue restaurant? Isn't this a slap in the face of the minister? Liu Zhuangshi knew very well that Tian Qi was a well-known figure, how could he promote his small barbecue restaurant?

But Ye Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Tian Qi shouldn't refuse. And it didn't mean she would lose anything, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Just then, Lu Yue suddenly interrupted.

"But then again, the authorities are really fast. It hasn't been long since the opening. I thought I would have to wait for a while."

As Lu Yue spoke, he showed a surprised expression.

Ye Ye also nodded in agreement. He did not expect the official efficiency to be so high. Generally speaking, opening a restaurant requires a lot of preparation, such as decoration, purchasing equipment, recruiting employees, etc., all of which take time. But the official seemed to have arranged everything a long time ago, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Liu Zhuangshi smiled, and was obviously very satisfied with the arrangement. He continued.

"Yes, the decoration, the kitchen, even the chefs, waiters, and finance are all arranged. I just come here and be a hands-off manager."

As he said this, he smiled smugly.

However, Liu Zhuangshi's smile seemed to be a little embarrassed. He knew that his escape from Planet No. 7 and taking away the Fearless were all thanks to Ye Ye and Lu Yue. He himself did not help much, so he felt a little guilty about the arrangement.

Ye Ye saw what Liu Zhuangshi was thinking and comforted him.

"Uncle Liu, don't think like that. We are all in this together. No one has made greater or lesser contributions. And you are in charge of this restaurant now, so we can come and eat here if we have nothing to do."

Liu Zhuangshi felt a little better after hearing Ye Ye's words. He looked at Ye Ye gratefully and continued.

"It's just that this location is quite sensitive."

"The location is a bit sensitive? How do you mean?"

Ye Ye asked curiously.

Liu Zhuangshi sighed and explained.

"This is what the waiters assigned to me told me."

"Ningfu District is like the private territory of the Ning family. Whether it is finance, resources or land, it is almost all firmly controlled by the Ning family. It is like an autonomous region independent of Yancheng, with a high degree of autonomy. And this storefront is said to have been found for me by a big shot who has a close relationship with the Ning family."

Lu Yue explained helplessly.

He pointed to the surrounding shops and continued.

"Look at the shops next to us, all of them have Ning's signs. I am an outsider, and I have been thrust into their midst. This situation is really awkward. Although no one dares to provoke me yet because of the majesty of that big shot, I am afraid that troubles will ensue over time. I can't keep bothering that big shot over trivial matters."

At this point, Lu Yue couldn't help but sigh, looking a little depressed. He had originally had some expectations for this storefront, but he didn't expect it to be in such a conspicuous position, right opposite the gate of the college.

"Ning family..."

After hearing this, Ye Ye frowned and murmured softly. Obviously, his impression of the Ning family was further reduced. The Ning family was so arrogant and domineering, just like a local emperor, not taking other people seriously at all.

"But it's hard to say. These are just the waiter's guesses. Maybe no one will come here to cause trouble."

Liu Zhuangshi noticed that Ye Ye's face suddenly became gloomy. He felt a little panicked, fearing that his words would bring unnecessary trouble to Ye Ye, so he quickly added.

Liu Zhuangshi knew very well that in this place where people would turn pale when the Ning family was mentioned, Ye Ye had no awe of the Ning family at all, which showed that Ye Ye must have his own confidence. However, Liu Zhuangshi did not want to cause any trouble to Ye Ye because of himself.

"Okay, I get it."

Ye Ye didn't seem to take Liu Zhuangshi's worries to heart. He responded lightly, then patted Liu Zhuangshi on the shoulder and continued.

"If the Ning family really dares to cause trouble for you, just contact me directly."

Ye Ye's tone was calm, but it revealed a kind of confidence and determination that could not be ignored. He was obviously not afraid of the Ning family, and he might even be a little disdainful of them.

However, Ye Ye also realized that they had been out for three or four minutes, and Tian Qi and Tian Qingtian were still left in the private room as guests. It was not good to leave them alone like this. So, he decided to go back and accompany the guests first.

Liu Zhuangshi immediately understood what Ye Ye meant, and he quickly spoke.

"You go in first, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some food and drinks."

Hearing Liu Zhuangshi say this, Ye Ye also nodded.

"Then let's go back first."

Ye Ye said softly, then turned around with Lu Yue and slowly walked towards the private room.

Liu Zhuang stayed where he was. His task was to arrange some food and drink to meet the subsequent needs.

When Ye Ye and Lu Yue walked into the private room, they found that there were already two waiters busy pouring water. The two waiters looked serious and moved carefully, seeming to be excited and nervous to serve such a big shot.

Obviously, they never thought they would have such an opportunity to serve such an important person. At the same time, they were also surprised and incredible at their boss's connections.

Ye Ye's eyes swept over the two waiters, then he said with a smile.

"Okay, all of you go out, we can do it ourselves."

His voice was gentle, but it revealed an undeniable sense of majesty.

The two waiters looked at each other, nodded quickly, then quickly left the private room and gently closed the door.

Ye Ye looked at the closed door and breathed a sigh of relief. The things they were going to talk about next were not something the two waiters could hear. Even Lu Yue and Tian Qingtian, Ye Ye didn't want them to stay here, because these things were too involved and he didn't want too many people to know.

However, when his eyes fell on Tian Qi, he found that she did not show any intention of avoiding the topic. Tian Qi sat there quietly, with a calm and natural expression on her face, and seemed not to care about what was about to be discussed.

Seeing this, Ye Ye was a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He didn't know what the relationship between Tian Qingtian and Tian Qi was, and she didn't seem to have any special reaction, maybe she didn't mind hearing these things.

So, Ye Ye decided not to waste any more time and let Lu Yue stay here as well.

After the waiter left, Ye Ye silently picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Since he entered here, Tian Qi's eyes had never left him, which made Ye Ye a little uncomfortable.

"How are you doing these years?"

Ye Ye's voice echoed in the air, and he was the first to break the silence.

Tian Qi looked at Ye Ye quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He nodded gently and replied.

"It's not bad. I've managed to get a decent position now thanks to my seniority and age. The resistance from the family has also been reduced a lot. It's just that someone disappeared too suddenly, so it took me a while to find him."

Tian Qi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Ye Ye's heart. He suddenly felt a little speechless and didn't know how to respond. Can a position like the Minister of Armed Forces really be described as "fairly good"? This is a very important and powerful position!

As for his disappearance, Ye Ye felt that he had no way to explain it. He couldn't tell Tian Qi that he actually came from the Blue Star a thousand years later and came to her era through time travel, right? Such a thing was too shocking, and I'm afraid Tian Qi would find it unbelievable.

Lu Yue looked at his nose, and did not dare to look up. He sat silently in his seat. He suddenly felt a surge of regret in his heart, and could not help but curse himself for not going to the kitchen with Liu Zhuangshi. The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed. Could it be that Ye Ye and Tian Qi had known each other for a long time? But the problem was that Ye Ye was only in his twenties! Could it be that Ye Ye was actually an old monster who had lived for who knows how many years?

Looking at Tian Qingtian again, her reaction was similar to Lu Yue's, but in comparison, she seemed a little more relaxed. Her ears were erected high, as if she was full of curiosity about the conversation between Tian Qi and Ye Ye, and wanted to know more about the secrets.

At this moment, Tian Qi suddenly spoke.

"Look, you're silent again. Back when we were on Blue Star, you were not like this. You were quite talkative back then, leading me, Li Lingzhi, and Cui Yingying to run around in the demon tribe's territory."

Ye Ye couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. He secretly complained in his heart, how could he say such a thing in public? He is now a freshman at the Huaguo Starship Academy! Isn't it obvious that Tian Qi wants Tian Qingtian and Lu Yue to misunderstand him when he says this?

Sure enough, as soon as Tian Qi said this, Lu Yue and Tian Qingtian looked up at Ye Ye in surprise at the same time.

Blue Star? Li Lingzhi? Cui Yingying? The demon clan’s territory?

Is Ye Ye also one of those people who could be called sages who fought their way out of Blue Star?

But why doesn't Tian Qingtian have any impression of Ye Ye?

Lu Yue also had some sudden enlightenment at this time. He said why Ye Ye seemed to have some friendship with Li Lingzhi, Tian Qi, Li Yi and others. Could it be that Ye Ye was really sealed in that ice for a thousand years?

"I was young and frivolous back then, young and frivolous! Don't say anymore, don't say anymore..."

Ye Ye rubbed his temples with a headache, feeling a little overwhelmed. Tian Qi's tone had never been so sharp before. It made him feel uncomfortable everywhere.

Seeing that Ye Ye seemed to want to avoid these questions, Tian Qi did not ask any more questions, but spoke instead.

"It's only been a few days since it appeared. I'm afraid it will disappear again after a while."

"I don't know, but I think I will leave here. After all, there are some special reasons. But I will definitely not disappear suddenly. It has been so long, and you have all grown to a level that I can only look up to. So, don't tell me that you still haven't figured out where I came from."

Ye Ye felt that it was not a good idea to continue hiding the truth, so he decided to just speak frankly and reveal his origins.

However, what made Ye Ye feel a little strange was that Tian Qi seemed to know nothing about his true origins. Tian Qi frowned and said thoughtfully.

"Where did it come from? This is really a headache. Cui Yingying, Li Lingzhi and I spent a long time researching this, and even asked Elder Li to discuss it with us. But the final conclusion is still ambiguous and not clear at all."

Tian Qi paused and continued.

"At first, we thought you were a spy sent by a mysterious race in the universe, or that you were a human who had left the Blue Planet a long, long time ago and now just came back to help the humans of the Blue Planet. But after we gained a foothold in the universe, these theories were all broken."

"In the universe, there are no other branches of the human race except for Blue Star and Morning Star. Based on the current situation of Morning Star, no race would have helped the weak Blue Star."

"Of course, I'd be glad if you told me."

Tian Qi looked at Ye Ye silently, while Ye Ye looked at Lu Yue beside him and Tian Qingtian who was standing opposite Tian Qi.

"We'll talk about this later. Let's eat first."

At this moment, Tian Qi's light computer suddenly rang. After picking up the light computer and calling out the virtual screen, Tian Qi's face changed instantly when he saw the caller.

Cui Yingying? Why did she call herself?
