Chapter 1282

Hearing the old man's words of concern, Li Yue smiled.

He said, "Thank you for your concern, old sir, but I feel my injuries have healed quite a bit by now, so I have an impertinent request."

"What impertinent request?" the old man asked.

"I wish to bid you farewell," Li Yue said earnestly.

Hearing Li Yue's words, the old man paused slightly, then sighed and said, "There must be a reason, after all? If you leave without saying anything, that would be somewhat inappropriate, wouldn't it?"

Although the old man was old, his eyes remained extremely sharp.

Looking into the old man's piercing eyes, Li Yue knew the old man had surely seen through everything long ago.

Li Yue sighed, then said, "I have something very important to do. As for what it is, I cannot tell you, old sir, for the time being."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the old man's eyebrows furrowed even deeper: "Oh? Then I am truly curious now."

Li Yue shook his head and said, "I cannot be certain what it is, but it is definitely something extremely dangerous, so no one must know."

Hearing Li Yue's explanation, the old man pondered for a moment, then asked, "If that is the case, then I will not ask further. How about this? Drink today's medicine first, and then you may leave."

Having finished speaking, he handed the freshly brewed Chinese medicine to Li Yue.

Li Yue took the Chinese medicine, drank a few sips, then set the bowl down.

The old man looked at the remaining half bowl of medicine and instructed, "Come, drink the rest of the soup medicine. This medicine can not only replenish your body's primal energy but also strengthen your constitution, providing immense help to your injury recovery."

"Alright," Li Yue nodded in agreement.

After finishing the last sip of Chinese medicine, Li Yue stood up, preparing to leave. As he was about to go, he suddenly said to the old man, "Actually, there is one thing I would like to ask you. If anyone asks about me, just say you have never seen me. Is that alright?"

Li Yue's request left the old man stunned. "Why?"

"My identity... is somewhat special. I do not wish to bring trouble to you," Li Yue explained.

"I understand."

After hearing Li Yue's explanation, the old man nodded and agreed.

He knew that this time Li Yue must have some unavoidable difficulties, and moreover, he could see that Li Yue was unwilling to mention his identity further; in that case, it was better not to ask.

Seeing the old man's understanding appearance, Li Yue felt a warm current rise in his heart. He clasped his fists toward the old man and said, "Thank you for your help, old sir. I take my leave."

Having finished speaking, Li Yue stepped out of the courtyard.

Li Yue had just left when the old man called out, "Stop." "Wait a moment."

Li Yue stopped his steps, looking at the old man in confusion, and said, "Is there any further instruction?"

"Beth, come out for a moment," the old man called to his granddaughter inside the room.

Hearing her grandfather's call, the granddaughter hurriedly ran out.

Looking at his granddaughter, the old man said, "Beth, you go and guide him."

Hearing her grandfather's instruction, Ireland Beth nodded and showed curiosity.

Before she could speak, Li Yue opened his mouth first at that moment.

Hearing what the old man said, Li Yue waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No need, old sir, I can find my way out myself." The old man countered, "Are you not going to find the Lord? Do you know which direction to go?" "This..."

Li Yue began to hesitate.

Indeed, he did not know exactly where the next Lord's position was, let alone how to find it.

Seeing Li Yue's hesitation, the old man smiled and said, "You just need to follow Beth; she will surely be able to lead you to the place you need to go."

Hearing the old man's words, Li Yue nodded.

Hearing the old man's words, Ireland Beth was also puzzled in her heart.

She really could not understand what her grandfather was up to.

Could it be that she did not know this fellow's identity was somewhat strange?

However, since her grandfather had already said so, Ireland Beth really could not say much. She nodded and said, "Alright, I understand, Grandpa."

Seeing his granddaughter agree, a satisfied smile appeared on the old man's face.

Then, he turned to Li Yue and said, "Let's go, follow Beth."

"Alright, old sir."

Behind Ireland Beth, Li Yue followed her forward.

Along the way, Ireland Beth did not speak, silently leading Li Yue through the mountains and forests.

... "Actually, Beth, you do not need to guide me; you just need to point out a direction and tell me," Li Yue said, looking at the girl ahead.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Ireland Beth turned back, glanced at Li Yue beside her, then said, "My grandfather told me to guide you because he is worried about your injuries, do you understand? With me by your side, at least if something happens, we can react."

Hearing the other party say this, the corner of Li Yue's mouth curled into a bitter smile.

He did not mean that; rather, he disliked the other party's walking speed being truly too slow.

With such speed, who knows how long it would take to arrive.

So, Li Yue hoisted the other party onto his shoulder and casually asked, "Just keep walking in this direction?"

"Bastard, what are you doing?"

Li Yue's sudden action frightened Ireland Beth; she cried out in alarm and immediately used her small hands to hammer Li Yue's shoulders.

"Stop moving."

Seeing Ireland Beth in this state, the corner of Li Yue's mouth twitched slightly. "If you keep fidgeting, I will throw you on the ground. Is it this direction?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, Ireland Beth dared not move recklessly. She glared at Li Yue, then said, "Uh, yes, walk along this road for about ten kilometers and you will see a small town; there is a Lord's caravan in the small town."

Speaking, Ireland Beth lightly patted Li Yue's shoulder with her hand: "Alright, put me down quickly."

"I can walk myself."
