Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1218 - 220_3

If things continue to develop like this, what will become of us?

They clearly came to kick us while we're down, cursing and intimidating the orphan, so why are they now almost ready to surrender themselves voluntarily?

At this moment, shadows have already begun to leave. They lingered here for a chance, hoping for some hope, but now things are becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

The young lad from the Qin and Liu Families in this era may not be as strong as the Dragon King they faced in their time, but the boy's tactics are making them feel desperate.

Li Zhiyuan stood up, clapped his hands, and looked up at the sky.

Right now, he has matters at hand, and except for those like the black-robed figure who specifically came here, the riffraff that remain are not challenging enough for the quizmaster.

But this doesn't mean Li Zhiyuan will let them go, he noticed some of them have already left.

But who do they think they are, coming and going at will?

Li Zhiyuan walked back inside the room and asked the girl standing there:

"Alii, you remember them, don't you?"

Alii nodded.

They were nightmares she had to face since childhood, how could she not remember them?

"Then let's wait a bit longer, we'll sweep them all clean later."

Anyone who has come and cursed has left a mark, it's mutual. Since they can come, Alii can also actively seek and sense them.

The experience and knowledge accumulated from battling wits with the quizmaster won't become useless just because of Jiang Chenggong's success.

Li Zhiyuan believes that in the future, he will have enough means to help Alii deepen these causal relationships so that they cannot hide.

When he becomes the Dragon King, his companions will also have grown significantly, and by then he can send them out to track down and resolve these threats.

Moreover, by that time the constraints of Jiang's cause and effect will be gone, Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu can join, and even one Dragon King's Order could mobilize forces like Jiujiang Zhao in Jianghu to help with a major cleanup.

The boy is still young, even now he can still be called a "child", and so, he is reluctant to place his trust in the wisdom of future generations.

He will personally clear away the remnants left by the Qin and Liu Families' Dragon King that weren't properly handled.

In reality, the two of them opened their eyes simultaneously.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze fell on the second painting in the wordless book, the thin monkey appeared nervous, terrified of the environment.

At the same time, the boy could sense the resentment from the first painting.

Flipping back to the first page, the skull's mouth was gaping wide, as if protesting and complaining.

Li Zhiyuan placed his finger on it.

Seems like you have a lot of energy, which is perfect for using up today's deduction volume.

After the deduction ended, the skull turned to dust again, calming down.

Li Zhiyuan spread open his right palm, amidst the blood mist, the red silk thread was already able to coil up.

This length is barely usable, but in a normal confrontation, their positions would be spread apart, they couldn't all gather together, so this length needs to be extended further to cover the entire battlefield area.

Li Zhiyuan looked again at the thin monkey in the second painting, trapped in the cage, he noticed that although the cage in the painting didn't change, the thin monkey inside had shifted its direction.

The boy closed the wordless book, spun it, then opened it again, and the sitting posture of the thin monkey in the second painting changed once more.

What changed was the orientation according to the paper, but in reality, the thin monkey's single eye was always pointing in a specific, fixed direction.

Li Zhiyuan took out some paper and a pen, first measuring the direction angle of the thin monkey, then visualizing a map in his mind.

From his current region, drawing a line in that direction, towards the southeast, it could reach the Zhoushan Islands.

As for Salt City, it was in an almost opposite direction.

Liu Jinxia returned with a curse from Salt City, and logically, he should first head to Salt City to search for clues, then follow the trail, but now… he could take a leap.

The boy closed the wordless book, lightly patting its cover, this book indeed was a good thing, no wonder even someone who couldn't understand it was unwilling to let it go.

Next, he could make preparations to head to Zhoushan.

Li Zhiyuan escorted Alii downstairs to the East Room, the door was unlocked, and the girl pushed it open, walked inside, and as she closed the door, locked eyes with the boy.

Li Zhiyuan returned upstairs to wash and rest.

Alii went to the bedside. Before, she always slept on the inside of the bed, with her grandmother on the outside.

Tonight, her grandmother was lying on the inside, seemingly asleep.

Alii lay down on the outside.

Liu Yumei opened her eyes, smiling.

Alii turned her head, meeting her grandmother's gaze.

But soon, the girl turned back, staring at the beam above, never closing her eyes to sleep.

Liu Yumei picked up a thin blanket, gently covering her granddaughter, softly saying:

"Isn't our Alii also wanting to go out with him..."

Alii stayed silent, as her hands placed on her abdomen gently twisted together.

"Grandma can tell, for Xiao Yuan, just seeing you at home after each trip is already fulfilling, truly."

Alii's hands intertwined, fingers quieting down.

"That day will come, when our Alii gets better, you'll be able to go out with Xiao Yuan, we don't need to rush, take it slowly."

Alii closed her eyes.

Liu Yumei gazed at her granddaughter's delicate, smooth profile.

Although Xiao Yuan is the heir to the Qin and Liu Families, she already considers the boy her own child, but this doesn't stop her from also hoping that one day, her granddaughter can personally stand on the river's surface.
