Chapter 1787 - 321:

Li Zhiyuan: "In the afternoon, let's try to finish everything by dusk."

Old Man: "..."

Li Zhiyuan: "Since it considers your Jin Family as..."

The young man paused and tried another approach:

"Since I've discovered the pattern and essence within it, I plan to use the most direct method to solve it."

Old Man: "Don't be... impulsive."

Li Zhiyuan: "Helping you is the right thing to do, and it's one of the reasons I came to Jiujiang; but helping your daughter is what I'm willing to do. For them, I also have to eliminate all potential threats.

You also saw, in that painting, your daughter and granddaughter once helped me."

Old Man: "This is her... great fortune. Heaven has not been unkind to our Jin Family."

Suddenly, the old man seemed to realize something, and he exclaimed in shock:

"You mean, she and her children are also..."

Li Zhiyuan interrupted the old man: "I will solve it, very soon."

The previous doubts disappeared completely at this moment. The old man pulled at his neck with thread, nodding as hard as he could.

Because he knew he was helpless now, if his daughter and her descendants hadn't escaped the entanglement with the Black Flood Dragon, the only one who could help them was the young man in front of him; he had to believe that the young man would certainly succeed.

Li Zhiyuan changed the topic and asked:

"Do you want to see her, or them?"

In an instant, the old man's eyes showed intense longing; how could he not want to see them? For the sake of his daughter, he even defied family teachings. For many years, he had endured the agony of missing her almost every moment.

Fortunately, he had an adopted daughter to whom he had transferred all his love for his biological daughter onto Ping.

Love is mutual, and Ping also noticed that the old man was always reminiscing about someone, and perhaps she realized that the old man's health was declining, so she secretly copied the painting hanging above the old man's bed and pasted it on a missing person notice board.

Generally speaking, without specific information, and not even leaving contact details or an address, such a hand-drawn version on its own would never receive a response, but it was spotted by Li Zhiyuan while he was playing at Jiang Locking Tower in the morning.

Of course, this "playing" never aimed to be purposeless, you could even say it was driven by utilitarian motives.

Just like last night when Zhao Yi ran into that fugitive while having breakfast wine, today Li Zhiyuan agreed to go downstairs to see some sights, also thinking to be proactive and catch this water channel.

Although everything has a divine plan, if you only sulk at home, you're undoubtedly increasing the difficulty for destiny to present itself to you.

Old Man: "I'd rather not see them."

Li Zhiyuan: "I said, I will take care of things here."

Old Man: "She's so old now, she even has granddaughters, there's no need for her to know she was adopted."

Li Zhiyuan: "She already knows."

All this was because of Liu Jinxia's uncle who, before dying, selfishly blurted it out.

Old Man: "Then, she has no interest in coming all this way to see me, right?"

Li Zhiyuan: "As people age, they do become more open-minded, but if there's an opportunity, I think she would also want to come and see you."

Old Man: "I..."

Li Zhiyuan: "Even though you deliberately had her abducted, no matter the circumstances, from a father's standpoint, you are competent."

Old Man: "Really... is it possible?"

Li Zhiyuan: "I can arrange it."

Old Man: "Thank you... thank you!"

Li Zhiyuan: "Later, we'll have to carry you out to the yard."

Old Man: "I'll cooperate with anything, no matter what you ask of me, even my life which is already worthless."

Li Zhiyuan: "No need for that, even if you're on a deathbed now, I have a way to let you hold on for a few more days, until you see her before passing."

Old Man: "That's great..."

Li Zhiyuan walked toward the bedroom door.

Old Man: "I still haven't dared to ask... your identity?"

Li Zhiyuan lifted the curtain, and as he left, he answered: "Her neighbor."

Zhao Yi once again laboriously wheeled himself back into the hall.

Seeing Li Zhiyuan come out, he immediately asked:

"How is it?"

Li Zhiyuan: "It can be resolved quickly, it involves the Life Chart."

Zhao Yi: "Life Chart, solved quickly... Li, are you planning to use your own Life Chart to counter the Black Flood Dragon?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Isn't that the best way to solve residual spirits?"

Zhao Yi: "But this method can inadvertently damage mental consciousness, isn't it too risky for you to do this?"

Li Zhiyuan: "I'll have to use this method when stitching your skin too."

Zhao Yi: "That's good, you can try it out this time, and next time when you stitch my Jiao Skin, you'll be more adept."

Li Zhiyuan: "Moreover, doing it this way, we can also clean the resentment remaining in the Jiao Skin, so we won't have to clean it separately afterward."

Zhao Yi: "Why does it sound like cleaning intestines?"

Li Zhiyuan: "It's similar in principle."

Zhao Yi: "I like my food with a bit of the original flavor; cleaning too thoroughly removes the taste."

Li Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi: "You don't actually think I'll be influenced by its resentment, do you?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Alright."

Zhao Yi: "Thank you."

Li Zhiyuan: "Since you're idle, help me contact Tan Wenbin and see if he can figure out a way to bring Liu Jinxia's family over here to meet Jin Xingshan."

Zhao Yi: "No need to bother Tan Daban."

Li Zhiyuan: "You can manage?"

Zhao Yi: "Leave it to me."

Li Zhiyuan nodded; Zhao Yi had a strong sense of compensation towards the Jin Family.

Previously, Jin Xingshan mistakenly believed Zhao Yi was Liu Jinxia's grandson, and Zhao Yi unhesitatingly accepted being this "grandchild."
