"No need to bother!" Butler Ma declined quickly, "The master sent us here, but he specifically asked us to go back early. We don't want to disturb you at this late hour!"
"That's it!" Yu Hongze also felt a little embarrassed, "Then one day I and Xiaolu will definitely come to your house to say hello!"
"There's no need to pay homage!" Butler Ma said with a smile. He turned around and said to Yu Tianlu, "Master Yu, I'll invite you to my house tomorrow to have a chat with me."
"A talk at home?" Yu Tianlu seemed to have a premonition of something.
"Miss Xiang, I hope to see you again before I leave!"
"Xiaoyuan?" Yu Tianlu's face was suddenly filled with surprise.
"I don't know how you two met such a big shot as Miss Xiang. But our master said that this might be your opportunity." Ma Guanjia said, "It's time for me to go! I will be at Ma's Mansion early tomorrow morning You two are waiting in front of the door, so please arrive early!"
"Thank you so much, Butler Ma!" Yu Tianlu quickly pulled Yan Yue, who was a little slow to react, to salute Butler Ma.
After bidding farewell to Butler Ma, the neighbors turned the small courtyard into a sea of joy.
It is really a miracle that this remote and remote country can produce an art competition champion like Yu Tianlu!
After finally sending these neighbors away, Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue had time to rest after a busy day.
"Xiao Lu, what does Miss Xiang have to do with you?" Yu Hongze just wanted to ask Yu Tianlu about Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw the two children lying on the stone table in the yard and falling asleep.
Especially Yan Yue's snoring was loud.
"This child!" Yu Hongze looked at his grandson lovingly.
"It seems that these two children are really tired today." Aunt Yan on the side said, "Uncle Yu, please don't disturb them two! If you need anything, I'll ask you tomorrow."
"That's all we have to do!" Yu Hongze shook his head helplessly.
Early the next morning, Yu Tianlu took a rare nap and slept until eight o'clock.
If Yan Yue hadn't come over to shake him awake, he probably could have slept for a few more hours.
"I'm talking about Xiaolu, you usually come here to wake me up? It's rare that you became a sleepyhead today!" Yan Yue seized the opportunity and laughed.
"I don't know what's going on." Yu Tianlu replied, "I just feel like my body has been hollowed out all of a sudden. Even the power of transformation seems to be much weaker now."
"You were overloaded yesterday. This is the first time I've seen that large-scale use of the 'power of imagery'. I guess it should be called excessive exercise!"
"Where did you get the new word?"
"Isn't this what you taught me before?"
"Okay!" Yu Tianlu felt his heart warm.
As the first companion he met after traveling to this world, Yu Tianlu already regarded Yan Yue as a relative.
"Okay, okay! Don't stay in bed. You can't let Xiaoyuan wait too long!" Yan Yue urged.
"Know it!"
Yu Tianlu quickly climbed out of bed, then washed up as quickly as possible and changed his clothes.
Then the two friends picked up a few buns and rushed out of the house.
"You two, run slower!" "Go back early and come back early!"
Behind them came instructions from two elders.
For fear that the two elders would catch them asking questions, the two children unconsciously quickened their pace.
After going to Ma's Mansion twice, Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue were already familiar with each other. After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at the door of Ma's Mansion.
Yu Tianlu was already out of breath from running. This amount of exercise is nothing to Yan Yue, and he still looks calm and his heart doesn't beat.
Butler Ma had been waiting at the door of Ma Mansion for a long time. When he saw the two children arriving, he hurriedly came over.
"I said you two little guys have kept me waiting for a long time!" Housekeeper Ma complained.
"I'm sorry, Butler Ma, we didn't want to." Yu Tianlu apologized quickly, "I was too exhausted in yesterday's game, but I just recovered!"
"Don't worry, I already know your situation." Butler Ma smiled.
"How did you know?" Yu Tianlu was a little surprised.
"Actually, Miss Xiang has already explained it to us before. It is said that you have a backlash due to excessive use of the 'power of elephantization', and you really need to rest more."
"Is it Xiaoyuan again?" Yu Tianlu felt his heart warm.
"Xiaolu, Ayue, you two have kept me waiting for a long time!" At this time, Xiang Xiaoyuan's voice sounded from behind the two of them, "If you don't come, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for the last time."
The two quickly turned around and saw Xiang Xiaoyuan standing behind them with a big smile.
"Xiaoyuan, have you come to greet us?" Upon seeing this, Yan Yue was about to go over and say hello to Xiaoyuan, but Yu Tianlu next to him pulled Yan Yue's sleeve.
"Ayue, this is just an image created by Xiaoyuan using her 'power of imagery'." Yu Tianlu said.
"What? Is this Xiaoyuan fake?" Yan Yue looked back at Yu Tianlu, still a little unbelievable.
However, he subconsciously wanted to pull Xiang Xiaoyuan, but his hand actually passed through Xiang Xiaoyuan's body.
"It is indeed a simulated body!" Yu Tianlu said with a smile.
"As expected of Xiaolu, I can't escape your eyes." Xiang Xiaoyuan's avatar said with a smile, "How did you see it?"
"It's a feeling! No matter how you use the 'power of image' to simulate it, it will still be different from the original body." Yu Tianlu said casually.
"Is there a difference? Why didn't I feel it?" Yan Yue on the side was still a little stupid.
"Young man, you still lack experience!" Butler Ma muttered from the side.
But in fact, when he saw the avatar just now, Butler Ma was still hesitating whether to salute him or not!
"It's really yours!" Xiang Xiaoyuan praised, "Xiaolu, you'd better come quickly! We'll wait for you in the lobby!"
After Xiang Xiaoyuan finished speaking, her virtual body disappeared without a trace.
Butler Ma next to him was stunned for a moment.
"As expected of the 'Elephant Transformer', it's really amazing!"
"Steward Ma, can we go in?" Yu Tianlu urged.
"Of course, you two can just walk straight in. The hall is right in front." Butler Ma quickly replied.
"What? You won't go in with us?"
"No, no!" Butler Ma shook his head like a rattle, "The master has specifically ordered us that except for you two, no other people are allowed to enter the hall!"
"Is it necessary to make it so grand?" Yan Yue was a little flattered.
"Okay, Ayue, since it is Master Ma's order, we just have to obey it. Thank you, Butler Ma!" Yu Tianlu said as he pulled Yan Yue into the gate of Ma's Mansion.
Looking at the backs of the two little guys, Butler Ma couldn't help but secretly thought: "The master said that the two of them will have unlimited futures in the future. Isn't that true?"
Following Butler Ma's instructions, the two brothers quickly arrived in the hall.
The hall of Ma Mansion is as grand as ever, and the surrounding decorations are the same as those of the palace.
In the center of the hall, several familiar figures appeared in front of Yu Tianlu.
In addition to Ma Zhenbei, there are also Ding Dai, the chairman of the judges of the art competition, and Mu Linfeng, the four-star chemist who was following Xiang Xiaoyuan before.
Of course, the two children only have Xiang Xiaoyuan in their eyes at this moment. Today, Xiang Xiaoyuan specially changed into a rose-red dress, which looked particularly beautiful.
Seeing the appearance of the two friends, Xiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but want to run over to greet them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiang Xiaoyuan took the first step, Mu Linfeng behind her coughed. She could only retract her legs helplessly.
Mu Linfeng's eyes seemed to be saying: "Miss, be reserved. As the heir to the Xiang family, you must be more reserved at this time!"
Xiang Xiaoyuan's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly stopped talking.
However, Xiang Xiaoyuan, who has seen big scenes, is still very good at regulating emotions. After a while, Xiang Xiaoyuan, who had recovered as before, looked at Yu Tianlu again.
"It seems that our protagonist is finally here!" Ding Dai looked at Yu Tianlu and looked very happy.
The two children walked up to the masters and couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard what Ding Dai said.
"Who is the protagonist? What are the masters talking about!" Yu Tianlu asked quickly.
"Haha, Mr. Yu, it's a good thing anyway." Liu Xiaoguang couldn't help but say.
"Xiaoyuan!" The carefree Yan Yue ran over to say hello to Xiang Xiaoyuan.
At this moment, Yu Tianlu grabbed him.
"Ayue, don't make mistakes."
"What's wrong, Xiaolu? Isn't this Xiaoyuan?"
"This..." Yu Tianlu was also very hesitant.
The girl in front of him was indeed the object of his fascination. However, when Xiang Xiaoyuan's identity was revealed, the disparity in status inevitably made him hesitate.
But at this moment, Xiang Xiaoyuan spoke first.
"Xiaolu, Ayue, why do you see me being so outspoken? Don't you really regard me as a friend!" Xiang Xiaoyuan frowned slightly and said in a complaining tone.
"How could this happen? We have been looking forward to getting together with you again." Yu Tianlu blurted out, "It's just that we don't want to be a problem for you."
"Xiaolu, what did you say? How come you are causing trouble to you?" Xiang Xiaoyuan was puzzled.
"I didn't expect that you, this young man, are really kind and caring, but you actually care about our eldest lady!" Mu Linfeng said approvingly.
"What on earth is going on?" Yan Yue looked at the conversation between the two parties, which was like code words, and he didn't think about it for a while.
"Brother Yu, are you worried that if others know that you are Miss Xiang's friend, the championship you won will be regarded as a secret operation?" Ding Dai asked with a smile, "At that time, it will not only be you, but also Miss Xiang." It will also become the target of public criticism.”
"Isn't it like this?" Yu Tianlu looked at Ding Dai and said.
"You can rest assured about this." Ding Dai explained calmly, "As the saying goes, 'Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents', the art world in our Huaxu Kingdom is very clear. As long as there are works that everyone agrees with, even if they are When an unknown artist wins the championship, I think he deserves it.”
"Is this true?" Yu Tianlu looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan with pleading eyes.
"Xiao Lu, in fact, your championship is worthy of the name." Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled, "Although we are good friends, our Xiang family will never be partial in art appreciation. Your Optimus Prime is indeed amazing, and won the The championship is well deserved.”
"So that's it!" Yu Tianlu touched his head in embarrassment.
"One, two, three, four, I wonder why there is one less judge!" Yan Yue pointed at the judges and said.
"Kid, are you talking about the selfish Chu Xiangling?" Liu Xiaoguang asked with a smile.
"That's right, it's that uncle!"
"This guy is eager to go back. He is preparing to conduct real behind-the-scenes operations!"
