Run Sheng: "Zhao Yi mentioned that you were responsible for both farming and medicine back home."
Mr. Tian smiled awkwardly, "Ah... hehe."
Run Sheng: "Looked down on this place."
Mr. Tian was so startled by this comment that he almost jumped out of his wheelchair.
"I mean with your help, I can farm faster and reap the harvest sooner, that's what I meant."
Run Sheng nodded and continued pulling the cart forward.
Lin Shuyou had already moved ahead, now on the dam, and shouted:
"Three-eyed!"
Zhao Yi didn't turn around but took a white jade bracelet from his bag, handed it to Chen Lin, and said:
"Ah You is a good match; if you two end up together, I would be happy. Once you've found mutual affection, look further ahead, more towards the future. As for the past, those rights and wrongs, youthful recklessness and folly, let's not mention or dwell on them anymore."
After speaking, Zhao Yi finally glanced back at Lin Shuyou.
Lin Shuyou was choked by these words, feeling uncomfortable, and could only stare intently at Zhao Yi.
Seeing this, Chen Lin, despite being mindful of Zhao Yi's status, dared not accept his gift and hurriedly pushed the bracelet away.
Zhao Yi wasn't angry; instead, he smiled at Lin Shuyou saying, "Such a good girl, she cares about your feelings, is considerate. If you let her down by being indecisive, I won't forgive you."
Lin Shuyou: "You..."
Zhao Yi turned around and looked towards the second floor. There were two wicker chairs on the balcony, with no one sitting on them.
Looking again at the East Room, the door was closed.
He hesitated for a moment but decided to visit the young ones first and leave the elders for later.
"Uh, can I go upstairs?"
Tan Wenbin: "We usually don't go up unless there's something going on."
Zhao Yi continued to stare at the second-floor balcony, thinking that Li, for decency's sake, should show up.
At this moment, Li Zhiyuan walked out of the room and came onto the balcony.
He didn't intentionally stay inside; he was busy squeezing the wordless book inside the evil book, deducing a cultivation technique with little practical value, actually not wanting the evil book to have too leisurely days.
"Come up."
Zhao Yi handed the gift to Lin Shuyou to carry for him and walked into the house, heading upstairs.
Upon reaching the balcony, he saw Li Zhiyuan sitting on a wicker chair, with another one empty beside him, which he intended to sit.
As he walked over, a cold gaze emanated from inside the room.
Zhao Yi turned his face to look inside through the screen door and met the eyes of the girl standing by the desk.
This was his first time seeing Qin Li.
Back then, this girl almost became his betrothed, and he nearly lost his life because of this name.
At first glance, he hadn't had time to savor the girl's appearance, as at the moment their eyes met, his heart almost stopped.
It wasn't because he was stunned by the girl's exquisite beauty; rather, through his life and death door, he saw countless terrifying resentments swirling around the girl.
"Hiss..."
Zhao Yi clutched his chest and crouched down, hurriedly closing the life and death door, causing his heart to abruptly stop.
In this world, there are people who are not perceivable, nor predictable; Qin Li is such a person.
"Visiting someone's home, not knowing to get your mind straight."
"I didn't intentionally try to spy on anything; it's now bound with my heart, I can't just take out my heart before visiting others, right?"
"So what now?"
"I'm already beginning to feel dizzy from inadequate blood supply; hurry and give me the stuff, I'll carry it downstairs."
"No rush."
Li Zhiyuan changed to another wicker chair, sitting in Alii's place, then gestured for Zhao Yi to sit in his original seat.
Zhao Yi sat down.
Li Zhiyuan: "It's okay now."
Zhao Yi tapped his chest, his heart gradually resumed beating.
Li Zhiyuan: "Your ability is perfect for pretending."
Zhao Yi: "The premise is not to encounter you guys, who like to kill and pour Corpse Decomposition Water after touching the corpse."
Li Zhiyuan: "Any news about the Yu Family?"
Zhao Yi: "Investigated, couldn't delve deeply, but found out that on the river, there are many major forces intensively probing Yu Family news nowadays, only your family seems uninvolved.
So I suspect, facing the Yu Family surge, we're merely the catalyst.
Or, we can reasonably utilize other forces' spying on the Yu Family as assistance, preparing for a strategic muddle through."
Li Zhiyuan: "Hmm, keep watching, and draft a plan."
Zhao Yi: "Rest assured, leave it to me. Though, should we include your family's two individuals?"
Li Zhiyuan: "No."
Zhao Yi: "Well, that's true depth."
Li Zhiyuan: "I've already visited."
Zhao Yi: "No wonder you can be favored by grandma."
At this moment, the East Room's door opened, and Liu Yumei walked out.
Originally playing cards, but Wang Lian's son sneakily attempted to drink pesticide and commit suicide, stopped in time by his father, Liu Jinxia and Flower Woman hurried to accompany Wang Lian home for advice and reprimand.
Such affairs, Liu Yumei wasn't inclined to join; she'd hear them discuss it thoroughly next time they gather to play cards.
After the card game dispersed, Liu Yumei returned home for a quick rest.
Not considering Zhao Yi, even if Jiujiang Zhao's Family Head came today, by old rules, should await summons outside the manor; she certainly wouldn't stand there just to meet Zhao Yi.
Now she comes out just after resting, intending to breathe a bit of fresh air on the dam.
Being older, can't sleep too long during the day, or won't sleep at night.
Zhao Yi stood up, planning to go downstairs to pay respects.
Li Zhiyuan: "Wait a minute, I'll get those books out for you to take down."
