Chapter 717: Jiang Yan's Backup Plan (Please Subscribe!!)

Several days later.

Accompanied by a streak of light shooting straight from Liyue Harbor into the sky.

Inside the teahouse, Morax, in his mortal form, gently set down the teacup in his hand and looked up toward the horizon at the harbor.

"Has he already departed..."

Morax murmured softly to himself.

"Mr. Zhong Li?"

Tian Tie, who had just finished telling a story, noticed that Mr. Zhong Li, seated before him, was not listening to his storytelling with his usual seriousness.

"Hmm?"

Slightly puzzled by Tian Tie's sudden interruption, Zhong Li turned to look at him.

But upon seeing Tian Tie's expression, he suddenly understood what the other was thinking.

So, he smiled and said to Tian Tie:

"I was just thinking about something. My apologies."

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you'd like to hear any other stories."

Tian Tie shook his head and said to Zhong Li with a smile.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

When he saw Mr. Zhong Li zoning out just now, he had worried that the story he told this time was too boring and had annoyed the other.

Good, good. Mr. Zhong Li was just thinking about something.

However, this incident did serve as a reminder for Tian Tie.

He has been repeating these stories recently; anyone else would likely have grown tired of listening by now.

Indeed, he needs to research some new stories to tell...

Zhong Li did not know how great an impact his unintentional action just now had on Tian Tie.

Right now, he was merely pondering something that struck him as strange.

Jiang Yan actually left without saying a word?

He just left like that??

Without leaving a single message?

Zhong Li did not believe it.

That fellow Jiang Yan would never leave without leaving something behind; that would be the strange part.

The more Zhong Li thought about it, the more something felt off.

Everything was too ordinary.

So ordinary that even he found it hard to believe.

That fellow Jiang Yan.

Whenever he left to handle business, didn't he always make some kind of commotion?

Could this kid have left me some kind of trap?

My trial must not be disturbed. Although my actions might seem like I was trying to get Jiang Yan out of the way, Morax truly did not consider all of this.

But that does not mean that kid Jiang Yan wouldn't think so much.
