Chapter 1635 - 297: I Will Undo It Myself

Li Zhiyuan: "Let's take a plane."

The main reason is that everyone has some physical issues and needs to return promptly for treatment, and since the risks encountered on the way here have been resolved, naturally taking a plane back is the quickest option.

As for the truck, Zhao Yi said he could contact Zhang Xinhai and have someone from his factory drive the truck back and return it to Yongzi.

Xue Liangliang said to Chen Xu: "You and Xiao Yuan can fly back to Mountain City, and then take a car back to Suzhou from Nantong. You can chat on the way and keep each other company."

Chen Xu: "Sure, of course."

Lin Shuyou: "Why not just fly directly to Suzhou?"

Chen Xu replied: "We don't have an airport in Suzhou yet."

Lin Shuyou: "Huh? Isn't Suzhou's economy doing well? It doesn't have an airport?"

Chen Xu awkwardly touched his nose.

Tan Wenbin spoke up: "I'm sure there will be one soon, very soon."

The three of them still had their own matters to attend to, so the tea gathering was temporarily concluded.

Xue Liangliang and Li Zhiyuan went together to see Mr. Luo.

"Xiao Yuan, was everything smooth?"

"Yes, it was smooth."

"That's good."

Mr. Luo was also having a tea gathering, but inside a room. As soon as the door opened, smoke wafted out; once Xue Liangliang went in, he immediately opened the window to let the smoke out.

"Come in, no need to introduce Liangliang. But I must introduce Xiao Yuan properly, he's my little apprentice and my last closed-door disciple."

"No need to introduce, no need. Since last year, I've heard you talk about him several times; he's a provincial champion, right?"

"He's also a genius. Every time we meet and have a meal, the first half is work talk, and the second half is showing off."

It was evident that after the meeting, everyone relaxed.

After accompanying and sitting through some formalities, Mr. Luo had Xue Liangliang take Li Zhiyuan out.

Back in his room, Li Zhiyuan didn't see Zhao Yi.

After taking a shower, Li Zhiyuan sat on the bed, playing with a small compass in his hand.

The return date was tentatively set for the day after tomorrow; there was still a survey task to complete at the site where the last survey team had an incident.

The young man gently fiddled with the compass pointer in his hand, pondering over something:

The Bodhisattva was suppressed into the underworld by Emperor Fengdu; where did that severely injured Tidings run off to?

Unfortunately, the other party was either critically injured or too terrified to reveal its presence. In any case, the compass showed no reaction towards it.

Tan Wenbin pushed the door in and said, "Brother Xiao Yuan, Run Sheng went out to find a workshop to repair his Yellow River Shovel."

"Brother Runsheng won't be impulsive."

"But he's too much like a normal person. I've already told Ah You not to comfort Run Sheng."

"Hmm."

"Where's our unofficial team leader?"

"In the Liang Sisters' room, I guess."

"Oh, makes sense. Those two haven't woken up yet."

Li Zhiyuan neither agreed nor disagreed.

After dark, Zhao Yi still hadn't returned, so Li Zhiyuan went to sleep first.

In the Liang Sisters' room, Liang Yan and Liang Li lay on separate beds, with Zhao Yi standing in the middle, the glow of the cigarette in his mouth flickering.

After finishing his cigarette, Zhao Yi pinched out the butt with his fingers and flicked it into a teacup.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and raised his right hand.

"Slap!"

He slapped Liang Yan's face.

"Slap!"

Then slapped Liang Li's face.

The sisters, who had returned to youthful allure, immediately had swollen cheeks.

"You're still pretending? Not willing to wake up yet? You might as well kill each other. I'll set up an array outside, and you two can duel inside. Two go in, one comes out, how about that?"

The dullness in the sisters' eyes faded, returning to clarity.

Given their capabilities, they couldn't possibly take this long to wake up; they were actually among the first to regain consciousness.

The reason they kept pretending was that upon waking, they sensed something had changed within them, stirring a terrifying urge to kill their sister (or brother).

They were faking ignorance, essentially giving each other a chance to kill themselves.

Zhao Yi: "I have a suggestion, a compromise. Before you start attacking each other, you should try to take this man from me. There's no need to be polite; fighting over a man with siblings could be so exciting and fun."

The two sisters sat up on their beds and started crying.

In truth, they both knew that while they were unwilling to harm each other now and even wished to allow the other to succeed, this longing would grow stronger over time as they continued to develop and strengthen, eventually reaching an uncontrollable point.

Zhao Yi: "Don't be afraid of that day. Worst case, before that day comes, I'll keep the one I like most by my side and find a place to seal off the other, so you won't have to see each other."

Liang Yan: "How cruel."

Liang Li: "How heartless."

Zhao Yi: "Then we'll take turns being sealed? One with me each season? A season is too long; it can get tedious. How about a month...no, a week sounds better.

Oh well, I'm the one who loses out. After finally getting a pair of twins, they have to be split up."

Liang Li: "Shameless."

Liang Yan: "My man is truly shameless."

Liang Li: "..."

After successfully soothing the sisters' emotions, Zhao Yi returned to the room.

Seeing Li Zhiyuan already asleep, he too showered and got into his bed.

"Hey, Li, there's something I can't figure out. Isn't hell supposed to be empty now? Has the Bodhisattva not become a Buddha?"

Li Zhiyuan didn't open his eyes and said, "You can think of the Great Emperor as the only ghost."

"Pfft...hahaha!"

Zhao Yi laughed, lay down, pulled up the covers, and got ready to sleep.

After falling asleep, Zhao Yi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly:

"Damn, the Zhao family clan's seal hasn't been lifted yet!"

"Hmm."

"Brother Xiao Yuan, now that the underworld is empty, doesn't it need officials?"

"Hmm, there will be a wide range of positions to choose from."

"Is it possible the Great Emperor forgot about this?"

"Perhaps."

"Then what should we do about it?"

"There's a way."

"You have a solution?"

"Weren't we supposed to go to Jiujiang Zhao together?"

"Ancestor, what do you mean?"

Li Zhiyuan opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Yi, and calmly said:

"I'll handle it myself."
