“How does it feel, quite unexpected?”
The old man asked, taking a sip of tea as he observed Li Yidao’s 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.
“You seem a bit too relaxed sitting here,” Li Yidao finally expressed his bewilderment.
“I wasn’t 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,” the old man explained, offering some clarity to Li Yidao’s confusion.
Li Yidao nodded in agreement.
Though he wasn’t sure he fully understood.
“In the next few days, if my guess is correct, there might be some unrest. Just a bunch of clowns causing trouble.”
“Before we leave, it’s a good time to address some issues. We can’t let one
rotten apple spoil the whole bunch.”
“Your abilities may be needed then. Only if their deaths instill fear will they behave. Otherwise, the history of thousands of years might completely dissipate.”
There was a hint of worry in the old man’s expression.
Li Yidao paused at his words.
He didn’t say much afterward.
He only nodded.
He could see a trace of sadness in the old man’s words.
Perhaps…
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 wasn’t cut, it seemed unrealistic.
“I understand. So what should we do now? And when do we leave? Sister Zhou’s mark…”
The old man smiled slightly.
“Don’t worry, the little girl’s tattoo, she can control it herself now.”
“In fact, my method is to awaken her abilities. Her own abilities are the most effective in treating this curse.”
“Now she can control the tattoo from spreading. That’s enough. When we find the opportunity, we’ll help her fully awaken, and the rest will be easy.” The old man’s tone was full of confidence, and Li Yidao nodded.
It seemed like the situation was really like this.
Then let it be, he wouldn’t say much. He believed that the old man’s arrangements should be more reliable than his own, after all, he didn’t understand these things very well.
“If they decide to act, they might target you first. So, be careful.”
“I’ve arranged for two people to stay in the room next to yours. They are powerful, especially familiar with the methods of their own kind.”
“So don’t worry too much. When it’s time for you to act, you’ll know. At that time, just act without hesitation, and don’t worry about anything else.”
The old man’s 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.
“Yeah, I understand.” Li Yidao didn’t ask too much, turned around, and went back to his room directly.
He had already understood the old man’s 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.
“Let’s discuss how to handle this now. Everyone can see Elder Fu’s intention; it’s a kind of test.’
“Fortunately, we didn’t hesitate and chose to take action directly. If we had any hesitation, the situation now might be different.”
“But… you all know Elder Fu’s purpose in coming this time. How should we respond to it?”
As the old man’s words fell, the other four showed a hint of struggle in their eyes.
However, none of them spoke because they didn’t know how to proceed!
Or rather, they didn’t 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, “I don’t know what everyone is thinking.”
“But… I choose to support. After all, if it weren’t for Elder Fu, we wouldn’t be here today.”
“I 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 wouldn’t have led to the current situation.”
“But… you’ve forgotten something. If it weren’t for Elder Fu back then, we wouldn’t be where we are now.”
“Some say that what we’ve done for Elder Fu over the years is enough to repay his kindness, but… how do you repay life?”
“Besides sacrificing our own lives, is there any other way to exchange for this kindness?”
“If you don’t want to bear the burden of gratitude, don’t want to continue helping Elder Fu with things, that’s very simple.”
“As long as you directly take your own life, Elder Fu won’t bother you again!”
“And! 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!”
“The tasks Elder Fu asks us to do, which one is solely for his benefit? Which one isn’t for us, for humanity?”
“So… I choose to fully support. My attitude was already expressed in the previous battles.”
As he spoke, he pointed to his injuries, making his stance clear.
The others fell into silence simultaneously.
Yes…
What could compare to a life-saving favor!
Since one had received the other party’s benefits, one had to return them!
