Chapter 1807 - 324:

Sometimes, if you want to do something, you also need to have something to do.

After handing the medicine pills to Li Juxiang and instructing her on how to take them, Old Tian politely declined the offer to come in for tea and left directly.

However, he didn't return to Big Beard's house; instead, he found a secluded straw stack outside Wang Sanhou's house to lie down on, taking peanuts out of his pocket and shelling them to eat.

His mind constantly drifted to scenes from various novels and storybooks, and Old Tian felt a faint bit of excitement.

Who would have thought that the card game hadn't been going for long when shouting erupted from inside, and first, a group of people rushed out in a hurry, followed by Wang Sanhou supporting the chest-wounded Cao Yang as they walked out of the house.

Apparently, Cao Yang had drawn a set of 10 Leopard cards and went up against the opponent's J Leopards, which was held by the dealer. Cao Yang immediately slammed the table and cursed at how the opponent dared to cheat.

In a new place, the players were unfamiliar with one another, and after exchanging a few angry words, the opponent couldn't contain his anger and pulled out a switchblade, stabbing Cao Yang in the chest fiercely.

Old Tian sighed, realizing he had waited in vain.

He couldn't tell if Liu Jinxia's whole family was just naturally resilient, directly subduing Cao Yang ahead of time, or if it was because Liu Jinxia's family had visited Jiujiang, managing to share in Jin Xingshan's fortune and gain from Jiang Shui's merit.

Generally, in a lingering aftermath situation, when Heavenly Dao's gaze is upon you, such karmic retributions like "punishing the wicked and rewarding the good" are very timely.

Old Tian brushed the peanut shells off his clothes, stood up, and hummed a little tune as he headed home, somewhat lackluster.

Halfway along, from a distance, he spotted a large truck.

He recognized it, and unsurprisingly, that large truck was likely carrying the final "Jiujiang Zhao."

It's a pity that Mr. Li didn't follow them back to Nantong this time.

And he himself couldn't leave Nantong for the time being.

To avoid alerting their Grandmaster, Li Zhiyuan parked the truck in the vacant lot beside Big Beard's house.

Li Zhiyuan had already prepared the construction plans and handed them to Tan Wenbin.

It's quite a substantial project that needs to be carried out quietly at night.

When Tan Wenbin received the plans, he jokingly remarked:

"Grandma Liu's family has returned, but the Outer Team hasn't gone back to Nantong yet. Are they afraid we'll catch them for labor?"

Run Sheng: "They are still using materials from their family."

After getting off the truck, Li Zhiyuan didn't hurry home but instead walked toward the Peach Forest.

As he passed the yard, Beng Beng, who was happily watching the large TV from his crib, immediately sat down and lowered his head upon seeing the passing teenager.

If only there were some homework in the crib; otherwise, he might have pretended to do homework with his head down.

Li Zhiyuan walked into the Peach Forest.

He saw Su Luo playing the zither and Qing'an sitting reclined with his chest exposed, drinking wine.

Li Zhiyuan recounted to Qing'an about how he fashioned a shadow of Wei Zhengdao by shedding Black Flood Dragon skin.

Qing'an looked up, took a sip of wine, and said:

"It's normal; all shadows are reflections of your intention. Whatever you conceive in your mind is how he'll appear. In your mind, he's someone who doesn't like being controlled and insists on being independent.

Hehe, truly fitting, kid, you've suffered quite a bit because of this guy, haha..."

Li Zhiyuan quietly stood by.

After Qing'an finished laughing, he gently swayed the wine jug in his hand: "Just that? It can barely accompany a sip of wine."

Li Zhiyuan: "I want to build a platform and need some wood. I plan to chop some from here, not much."

Qing'an: "Indeed, the buyer is never as sharp as the seller. You, kid, have clearly priced it here, huh."

Li Zhiyuan: "That way, I have motivation to find high-priced items to sell to you."

Qing'an: "The northwest corner of the periphery, allow your people to chop a few trees."

Li Zhiyuan: "Thank you."

Qing'an: "Jiao Spirit is in your hands, that Jiao Skin was given to that Zhao family kid?"

"Yes."

"What about Jiujiang Zhao?"

"Destroyed."

"Who did it?"

"Me, although he led the way. In addition, he personally removed Jiujiang Zhao's name."

Su Luo's zither music became a bit chaotic.

Qing'an glanced at him, continued shaking the wine jug before him, and said:

"When I first observed that kid, I knew he was not ordinary."

Then Qing'an looked at Li Zhiyuan, pointed the wine jug toward the teenager:

"Kid, do you ever feel like you're nurturing a dragon that's becoming a threat?"

Li Zhiyuan calmly answered:

"What kind of person can raise a dragon?"

Qing'an fell silent, closed his eyes.

Li Zhiyuan: "Did he also say something similar before?"

Qing'an didn't answer, instead, he took a deep gulp, finishing half a jug of wine in one go, and said:

"Take as many trees as you need yourself."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank; you, kid, know how to do business."

Li Zhiyuan stepped out of the Peach Forest and told Tan Wenbin that they could come here to chop wood in the evening.

When the four returned home, Li Sanjiang, along with Uncle Qin and Xiong Shan, had gone out to make deliveries and hadn't returned yet.

Alii sensed something and stood early on the second-floor terrace waiting for the teenager.

Cui Cui stood behind Sister Alii, watching her back and then looking at Brother Yuanhou walking up the front of the dam.

She really wanted to capture this moment in a painting, but unfortunately, limited by her current painting skills, she couldn't do it.

"Hmm... I should ask Grandma to buy me a camera."

Li Zhiyuan reached the second floor, intending to sit with Alii in the usual manner on the rattan chair and recount the experiences of the last wave.

However, the girl held his hand and led him inside, handing him two freshly completed wood carvings for him to see.

They were carvings of Zeng and Sun.

When the teenager went out, he was preparing for making talisman armor and had already reserved mules and horses for handling the talisman armor.

Since General Zeng possesses dual forms, Zeng and Sun require three sets of talisman armor.
