Hearing the door open, Zhao Yi yawned and woke up, saying: "You're here."

"Yes, I'm here, Brother Yi. I just met Brother Xiao Yuan, and he agreed to help me with my grandfather's funeral."

"Then we'll go to your house tomorrow morning."

"Brother Yi, I want to give my grandfather a grand send-off, so my grandmother can feel more at ease seeing him go with such ceremony."

"So?"

"Brother Yi, can you lend me a bit more money?"

After Shen Huaiyang's death, his temple was also burned down according to tradition.

"Alright, don't worry about the money. Honestly speaking, when it comes to material wealth, me, Brother Yi, am far better off than that guy Li."

"Thank you, Brother Yi. I will definitely work hard to repay you by doing things with you in the future."

Zhao Yi laughed, crossed his legs, and took out paper and pen:

"Then let's sign a promissory note and calculate the compound interest."

...

"Brother Xiao Yuan."

When Li Zhiyuan came in, Tan Wenbin was sitting against the headboard of the bed, playing poker, in a three-person game of 'Fight the Landlord.'

Tan Wenbin held cards in hand, while the other two sets of cards floated in the air.

When Li Zhiyuan came in, the floating cards fell back onto the bed. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

When the youth was present, the two children would become shy out of fear.

"Zhao Yi has already told me about what's to come."

"Brother Xiao Yuan, I made the decision on my own..."

"Well done," Li Zhiyuan affirmed. "When going to Fengdu, the more people the better. The Great Emperor, having lived alone for so long, would probably enjoy some bustle."

"Actually, I didn't have much hope at the time. Mr. Zhao saw through my intentions, but he..."

"He underestimated our madness himself."

"I think this also helped Mr. Zhao broaden his perspective."

"He taught you a secret technique?"

"Yes, this technique allows one to 'see' into people's inner thoughts, not specific details, but a sort of manifestation."

"Can you replicate it now?"

Tan Wenbin shook his head: "I tried but can't yet. I need my own spirit to simulate the alternate effect of the Life and Death Door."

"Then try to record this secret technique in writing as much as possible, and I'll take a look for you."

Tan Wenbin: "I should be able to learn it quickly. These two kids learn fast."

Li Zhiyuan: "It's not they who'll learn, Deng Chen in this area has better talent, especially since his Snake Eyes are more special."

Tan Wenbin fell silent.

The two children sitting on Tan Wenbin's shoulders also lowered their heads, rubbing their little fingers.

If anyone else dared to say such things, they would snarl angrily, or even mock the person.

But facing Li Zhiyuan, the two children didn't dare.

Tan Wenbin took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, Brother Xiao Yuan, you're right. I've been envious of Deng Chen's eyes for a long time."

The promise already made, Tan Wenbin wouldn't renege, and besides, he had already pleaded with Li Zhiyuan for the opportunity to take a ride in the wheelchair once.

This ride lowered the difficulty, but the next one would surely be tougher. He had to ensure his best condition and avoid being so sickly again.

Li Zhiyuan: "The merit accumulated by the two children is more than sufficient, enough to be reborn into a good family in their next life."

Tan Wenbin: "Did you hear that? After you're reborn, not only do you have to study well, but also be a good person."

"I'm hungry, I'm going to the hotpot restaurant downstairs to order." Saying this, Li Zhiyuan walked out of the room.

The two children relaxed their bodies, then spontaneously hugged Tan Wenbin's neck, pressing their heads against Tan Wenbin's cheek.

Tan Wenbin sighed, his hands raised, gently stroking them in the air, unable to actually touch them.

His mother, Zheng Fang, had told him that when she had just given birth to him, she didn't feel any motherly love at all. Instead, she was annoyed at his wrinkled appearance, wondering why she gave birth to something so ugly.

It was only after a period of care and companionship that the so-called maternal feelings gradually formed and filled.

The same was true for Tan Wenbin here, because having lived with the two children for a long time, emotions, especially that father-son feeling, have become very strong.

"Be good, my life must go on, and you all should welcome your new beginning. Maybe, someday in the vast human sea, we'll meet again."

The two children began to cry, ghostly tears falling on the bed, causing the area to freeze.

This caused Tan Wenbin much pain and torment, yet now, he is already prematurely nostalgic for this feeling.

"Beep beep!"

The pickup truck drove back to the inn.

Everyone except Run Sheng showed a calm demeanor, while Yin Meng and Lin Shuyou appeared very happy, feeling like they hadn't had enough.

Especially Yin Meng, after parking the car, she got out, closed the door.

Yin Meng: "If only we could spend a few more days in Rong City, Brother Xiao Yuan is tired too, it would be nice for him to rest for a couple of days."

Lin Shuyou: "Yeah..."

Just as they started speaking, Lin Shuyou's eyes bulged and he immediately changed his tone: "Things have priorities, I still hope Brother Xiao Yuan wakes up sooner."

The child continued to mumble quietly in his heart: "Without Brother Xiao Yuan, I can't eat well or sleep well, always worried deep down."

Lin Shuyou: "This..."

Child: "Recite it, quickly!"

Lin Shuyou: "It's too mushy."

Child: "That's why I'm telling you to recite it."

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiao Yuan can tell I'm reciting."

Yin Meng asked puzzled: "What, don't you want to..."

Run Sheng placed his hand on Yin Meng's shoulder, saying: "What's for dinner, these days you've been worried about Xiao Yuan and haven't eaten well."

Yin Meng: "Huh?"

Soon, Yin Meng came to her senses and began to look around, she realized Brother Xiao Yuan woke up?

Finally, she found him, the youth sitting in the neighboring hotpot restaurant.
