Chapter 1597 - 291:

Zhao Yi spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth, stepped on it with his shoe, then raised his hands and slapped his cheeks on both sides, not hard but quite loudly.

"Li, I've realized that the Yin family really knows how to give face to my Old Zhao."

"One acquaintance, second time familiar."

"Hey, not to mention, it really feels that way. When I die, these experiences must be etched on my tombstone to show off a bit. Do you think passing little ghosts will be scared enough to bow to me?"

"Can little ghosts just wander into the ancestral tomb of the Jiujiang Zhao Family?"

"Once I finish Zou Jiang and take charge of the Zhao Family, I'll change the traditions. I'll scatter the ashes of those old ones who refuse to die, and all future Zhao Family members will have to cremate."

"Oh."

"It's not that I'm extreme; the closer I get to my ancestors, the more guilty I feel.

By the way, Li, the Zhao Family's Secret Technique I gave you, don't neglect it, practice more. I had the chance to experience it this time, the stronger you are, the better it works."

Li Zhiyuan raised his left hand, his fingertips lightly swaying, with a blue sheen continuously flowing, crystal clear and pure.

"I know."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked."

"Ha!"

"Moreover, for your own Family Secret Technique, do you need an outsider to persuade you to practice more?"

"You win, thankfully the ancestors were long gone. If they were like the Great Emperor who hadn't died, seeing you and me, who they'd consider the direct descendant is still uncertain."

"Those kinds of beings can sense the bloodline."

"But they act dumb."

Li Zhiyuan took out three incense sticks, bent down, planted them on the riverbank, and with a flick of his fingers, the incense lit by itself.

Zhao Yi: "Take Mr. Zhai, for example. I've been flattering him for so long but you had a better effect, even though you pretended to be foolish and deceived him. He didn't care and was even quite pleased, it's really not fair."

"You used the wrong method for flattering."

"Hmm?"

"Back in the town, you should have taken college textbooks to consult him on professional matters. Then subtly hinted that once the debts for the sports car are repaid and money made, you'd go back to school to retake the college entrance exam or take adult university courses."

"Oh crap~"

"You care about his welfare, make soup and give medicine, run errands delivering corpses... what do you expect him to treat you as?"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?

Stop!

This question doesn't need you to answer, it's always 'you never asked'."

Li Zhiyuan: "You don't need me to tell you, you actually know."

Zhao Yi: "What do I know?"

Li Zhiyuan: "The first night in the town, it was raining, you kept watch on the roof, directly above Mr. Zhai's room. I was in the room and heard your book-turning sound.

Knowing that Mr. Luo would come to Fengdu this time, Brother Binbin and Ah You also brought some books in their backpacks to cram last-minute studies. You flipped through their backpacks."

"Li, are you even human? With such loud wind and rain that night, I know your hearing is good, I was extra careful flipping pages, yet you still heard it so clearly?"

"It wasn't very clear, but I checked Brother Binbin and Ah You's backpacks on the truck the next day, and found water vapor between the pages."

"Li, were you guarding against me?"

"Guarding against you? You knew about Mr. Zhai's special identity earlier than me but deliberately didn't inform me in advance."

"Have you had nightmares? Repeatedly dreaming that the Whole Clan meets a violent death, spirits queuing to the Underworld, or getting crushed to death by two giant dog testicles?

After fearing for so long, inevitably you become more sensitive. Besides, I didn't initially think he was that person; I just instinctively felt he might be unusual.

Thinking with such high stylistic waves in the journey, interacting with people related to your profession, is likely to have stories.

You're different, as to that person, although you're afraid, deep down you're fearless because you know you're favored, you know exactly how much those old men adore you.

Most importantly, those two days, you were in a state of over-exhaustion, your vision was blurry, perception power decreased greatly, but didn't you soon realize afterward?"

"You still haven't explained why you didn't tell me beforehand."

"If I was sure, would I have used the wrong method?"

"You didn't dare gamble on the highest yield, so you settled for the next best thing, went for bowing apology, your goal was already achieved."

Zhao Yi was still playing with those walnuts, a clear sign of profit, meaning the matter was considered buried.

Closing his eyes, Zhao Yi took a deep breath and said:

"Li, next time can you change the direction you step on, you step on this spot too often, crucially every time it hurts."

Li Zhiyuan nodded, the coffins floating on the river in front had all surfaced, the young man moved forward and waded into the river.

Zhao Yi followed behind, watching the young man's back, continually mouthing silently.

The first coffin looked familiar; it had the craftsmanship style of Yin Meng.

Li Zhiyuan placed his palm on it, chose an angle, and applied force, with a "creak," the coffin lid slid open.

Zhao Yi glanced inside and said, "Yin Meng's grandfather hasn't returned."

The coffin was empty; inside was a pool of thick residual liquid, with a very authentic smell.

Li Zhiyuan: "Then he still has other things to do besides reminding me."

"Like visiting his granddaughter?" Zhao Yi blinked, "Hope he doesn't get struck by Ah You's bar by the inn."

"Ah You knows Yin Meng's grandfather turned into a deadman, won't act so rashly."

"I'm preparing an advance disclaimer for Ah You."

Li Zhiyuan swam to the next coffin; this one was harder to open. After applying force, black gas escaped through a gap.
