âHow does it feel, quite unexpected?â
The old man asked, taking a sip of tea as he observed Li Yidaoâs surprised expression upon entering the room.
Li Yidao, still puzzled, nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, it was unexpected.
In his mind, he had anticipated the old man to be in a weakened state, even if awake.
âYou seem a bit too relaxed sitting here,â Li Yidao finally expressed his bewilderment.
âI wasnât actually very seriously injured. After Little Zhou treated me, I basically recovered. I pretended to be weak this time just to make them take action,â the old man explained, offering some clarity to Li Yidaoâs confusion.
Li Yidao nodded in agreement.
Though he wasnât sure he fully understood.
âIn the next few days, if my guess is correct, there might be some unrest. Just a bunch of clowns causing trouble.â
âBefore we leave, itâs a good time to address some issues. We canât let one
rotten apple spoil the whole bunch.â
âYour abilities may be needed then. Only if their deaths instill fear will they behave. Otherwise, the history of thousands of years might completely dissipate.â
There was a hint of worry in the old manâs expression.
Li Yidao paused at his words.
He didnât say much afterward.
He only nodded.
He could see a trace of sadness in the old manâs words.
Perhapsâ¦
For some current matters, he was indeed helpless?
Previously, he might have just wanted treatment, and now, regarding the tumor, he intended to cut it directly!
Because the spread of the tumor had reached an uncontrollable stage. If it wasnât cut, it seemed unrealistic.
âI understand. So what should we do now? And when do we leave? Sister Zhouâs markâ¦â
The old man smiled slightly.
âDonât worry, the little girlâs tattoo, she can control it herself now.â
âIn fact, my method is to awaken her abilities. Her own abilities are the most effective in treating this curse.â
âNow she can control the tattoo from spreading. Thatâs enough. When we find the opportunity, weâll help her fully awaken, and the rest will be easy.â The old manâs tone was full of confidence, and Li Yidao nodded.
It seemed like the situation was really like this.
Then let it be, he wouldnât say much. He believed that the old manâs arrangements should be more reliable than his own, after all, he didnât understand these things very well.
âIf they decide to act, they might target you first. So, be careful.â
âIâve arranged for two people to stay in the room next to yours. They are powerful, especially familiar with the methods of their own kind.â
âSo donât worry too much. When itâs time for you to act, youâll know. At that time, just act without hesitation, and donât worry about anything else.â
The old manâs last words were spoken with great formality.
His expression was solemn.
Clearly!
For him, this matter was also painful.
It seemed that the relationship between the old man and Yun City was indeed extraordinary.
Otherwise, why would they go to such great lengths?
Well, they could just not come to Yun City.
âYeah, I understand.â Li Yidao didnât ask too much, turned around, and went back to his room directly.
He had already understood the old manâs meaning, and the rest was to come back and act!
It was destined to be Chaos
In a guest room on the middle floor of a tall building, the three who had fought alongside the old man and the two others who had engaged in a gunfight were all gathered in this room.
One person was still very weak, but the situations of the other four had improved somewhat.
âLetâs discuss how to handle this now. Everyone can see Elder Fuâs intention; itâs a kind of test.â
âFortunately, we didnât hesitate and chose to take action directly. If we had any hesitation, the situation now might be different.â
âBut⦠you all know Elder Fuâs purpose in coming this time. How should we respond to it?â
As the old manâs words fell, the other four showed a hint of struggle in their eyes.
However, none of them spoke because they didnât know how to proceed!
Or rather, they didnât know how to make choices.
First and foremost, it was virtually impossible for them to oppose Elder Fu and obstruct him.
They could only support him!
And now⦠what they needed to consider was the level of support!
Whether it should be the maximum support or just a self-preserving effort!
Both choices had their merits.
The potential dangers they might face and the benefits they could reap were entirely different.
In the quiet air, everyone contemplated for several minutes.
Finally, the youngest and weakest among them spoke, âI donât know what everyone is thinking.â
âBut⦠I choose to support. After all, if it werenât for Elder Fu, we wouldnât be here today.â
âI understand that you, the elders, might consider more. We had a shift in strategy over these years and there was a rift with Elder Fu. Otherwise, we wouldnât have led to the current situation.â
âBut⦠youâve forgotten something. If it werenât for Elder Fu back then, we wouldnât be where we are now.â
âSome say that what weâve done for Elder Fu over the years is enough to repay his kindness, but⦠how do you repay life?â
âBesides sacrificing our own lives, is there any other way to exchange for this kindness?â
âIf you donât want to bear the burden of gratitude, donât want to continue helping Elder Fu with things, thatâs very simple.â
âAs long as you directly take your own life, Elder Fu wonât bother you again!â
âAnd! We need to consider that we are also human beings! We are also people of this world! We are also people of China! This is something that can never be changed!â
âThe tasks Elder Fu asks us to do, which one is solely for his benefit? Which one isnât for us, for humanity?â
âSo⦠I choose to fully support. My attitude was already expressed in the previous battles.â
As he spoke, he pointed to his injuries, making his stance clear.
The others fell into silence simultaneously.
Yesâ¦
What could compare to a life-saving favor!
Since one had received the other partyâs benefits, one had to return them!
