Chapter 401

Liu Yumei said she was very curious about how Li Zhuiyuan would handle this matter.

This was the answer Li Zhuiyuan gave.

Ask directly.

All kinds of evidence pointed to Chen Xiyuan's grandfather.

If it were true, people had already come to kill you, so why would there be any need to continue hiding one's identity?

If it were false, exposing one's identity to the Qiongya Chen family in exchange for an "understanding" was very cost-effective.

Of course, among all the answers, the most meaningless one was a denial.

Because a denial is equivalent to no answer.

And the most cost-effective answer was the one Old Chen Laoyezi gave right then: Yes.

Li Zhuiyuan was very satisfied with this answer.

Complex problems, made transparent and simplified, both sides could be very comfortable.

The hand Chen Xiyuan used to hold the mobile phone was trembling.

A moment ago, she was still lying on the bed enjoying snacks; now, she began to doubt her own past.

She did not hysterically and repeatedly ask the receiver, "Grandpa, did you hear clearly?" or "Grandpa, don't play this kind of joke."

She knew that her little brother's foreshadowing would not be aimless, and although her grandfather was old, he was definitely not hard of hearing.

This question and answer were equivalent to nailing down a fact.

The call on the other end hung up.

The "beep-beep-beep" tone came from the earpiece.

After answering with a "yes," Old Chen Laoyezi did not say another word.

Chen Xiyuan's arm dropped, her fingers loosened, and the mobile phone stood on the ground.

She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at her little brother, and then her gaze was burned away.

The calm water surface rippled with slight bubbles, and this was merely the precursor to the volcano beneath about to erupt.

Chen Xiyuan took a deep breath, trying as much as possible to make her brain numb, not to think or fall into emotions.

She lowered her head and murmured:

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Chen Xiyuan did not speak again.

Li Zhuiyuan took two pieces of Xiting crispy cakes from the packaging bag and handed one to Chen Xiyuan.

The young man did not like eating crispy cakes.

To be precise, he did not like any food that easily dirtied his hands.

After finishing the first one, Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand and tapped all the crumbs he caught into his mouth.

Sister Chen, on the other hand, had long finished that one and had even eaten a second one; now she was taking a third. She ate very quickly, eating with an expressionless face.

She did not dare to stop her mouth, fearing that her eyes would not be able to stop then.

Li Zhuiyuan stood up and left the room.

He felt a bit tired and wanted to go back to sleep.

In this world, many things can pursue urgency and efficiency, but rest is the only exception.

Leaving the bearded man's house, he returned to his own dam.

Grandma Liu was still sitting there, gazing at the scenery.

Li Zhuiyuan walked over, did not sit down, but said:

"I asked."

Liu Yumei looked at the young man with some surprise:

"What did he say?"

"He admitted it."

"Didn't you ask him why he wanted to do that?"

"I wanted to ask, but I didn't. I felt there was no need. It should be him who needs to come and explain to me, not me chasing after him and asking 'why' incessantly."

"This is the treatment of the strong." Liu Yumei pinched a piece of tea snack, brought it to her mouth, and took a bite. "We are not the strong; at least, not yet."

Li Zhuiyuan did not rush to respond; he knew Grandma Liu had not finished speaking, because Grandma never showed weakness in conversation.

Liu Yumei smiled: "But we can act like lunatics, although we can only be crazy once."

As she spoke, Grandma Liu took a bunch of keys from her pocket.

They looked like many, but in fact, looking closely, there were only two. Two keys with ancient and simple designs, embedded with a complex structure that made Li Zhuiyuan, this master of mechanisms, feel amazed.

Although they could not be used to fight or defend against enemies, in terms of grade, they completely crushed the Thunder-Gathering Whip and the Nine Splendor Seal treasured in his own dojo.

Liu Yumei: "If the family members are all gone, there will be no one to regularly take care of the things locked up in the house. Rather than leaving them there to give them a chance to drill through loopholes and get out, it is better to invite jianghu colleagues to come and help, and have a banquet for the ruined family."

Li Zhuiyuan had witnessed with his own eyes the catastrophe of evil spirits that had erupted in the Yu family.

The Long Wang Qin and Long Wang Liu, the Dragon Kings produced in history, were far more numerous than those of the Yu family.

Different lengths and qualities of history often evolve into different changes for the same thing.

Li Zhuiyuan had long suspected that the evil spirits sealed in the ancestral residences of the Qin and Liu families might be different from those of other Long Wang families.

Because back then in the university family quarters, when Li Zhuiyuan was walking in the underworld, he had once investigated the things that Uncle Qin had temporarily moved into that room on the third floor from the ancestral residence.

That was just the tip of the iceberg.

Thinking back carefully, the most important and terrifying point here... should be that the fierce evil spirits suppressed in the house could actually be moved out.

Liu Yumei placed these two keys on the coffee table.

Although no ceremony was performed, there were only these few people in the family, and the position of the family head had effectively been transferred, so the keys to the family door naturally had to be handed over as well.

Liu Yumei looked at the young man with expectant eyes.

When she was managing the two family gates on his behalf, she still had to consider the reputation of both families.

Now that she was an elder, she could offer advice without any scruples.

Since they won't let us live, then we will take them with us to die.

With these keys in Liu Yumei's hands, she would not dare to truly use them unless it was a last resort, but she was very much looking forward to the young man nodding.

Then, she would "accept the order" without hesitation and take A Li and A Ting to execute the family head's orders.

No refusal, no preaching of great righteousness, no moral theoretical persuasion.

Li Zhuiyuan directly reached out and took these two keys.

Immediately after, the young man sighed:

"Really good."

Liu Yumei pursed her lips, and the smile in her eyes became more and more obvious.

In the past, she was fond of the boy's shocking talent; now, she liked the young man's straightforward style of handling things more and more.

Li Zhuiyuan played with these two keys; one needed the "Liu Family Qi-Watching Art" to operate, and the other needed the "Qin Family Dragon-Observing Method" to activate.

If one's cultivation of the original technique was not up to par, even with the keys in hand, some places in the ancestral residence could not be opened or entered.

From this, one could also see the confidence of the Long Wang family.

The ancestors of the two families were truly not worried that the descendants of later generations would be worse than the previous ones.

Or rather, in the eyes of the ancestors of the two families, if the descendants of later generations were truly rotten to that extent, some places in the house should not have been allowed for them to touch in the first place.

Otherwise, like the Yin family, who could degenerate the "Twelve Decrees of Fengdou" into the "Twelve Dharma Gates of the Yin Family," the descendants of the former Long Wang family gates would probably not even be able to enter the family door.

Li Zhuiyuan: "When to use them, I will decide."

Liu Yumei: "It should be."

Li Zhuiyuan could not take or use the gold and silver mountains in the house now, but the evil spirits in the house... they could not be counted as inheritance assistance in any way.

Therefore, theoretically, Li Zhuiyuan could really move the evil spirits in the house out, send them to the ancestral residence of his enemies, and open them.

Although the consequences of doing so would easily lead to loss of control and create an irreparable situation, equivalent to perishing together.

But you can choose not to use the sword in your hand, but you absolutely cannot be without it.

The old lady was handing over the final foundation of the two Long Wang family gates to him.

Liu Yumei: "Pay attention to rest; your body should not be overworked for the time being."

Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "Mm, don't worry, Grandma, I'll go up and sleep now."

That was what he said, but the young man did not go upstairs first; instead, he went behind the house and put these two keys into the dojo.

When he returned, passing through the living room, he squatted down in front of the straw mat again and pressed against it.

Xiao Hei inside gave him a response, indicating that it was not yet dead.

"You hold on for two more days; when I recover my body, I will come to let you out."

Going upstairs and returning to the room, A Li was standing in front of the desk painting.

She was painting a piece of land and the sea, with dark clouds covering the sea, and she hadn't had time to write down the other details.

Under the bed, Benben was sitting there, pouting, pinching his fingers, and calculating problems.

Li Zhuiyuan picked up the basin and went to take a shower.

While showering, the young man heard the girl come outside the shower room door and stand there.

She was afraid that he, in his weak state, would suddenly faint or slip while showering.

After showering and getting dressed, Li Zhuiyuan was tired and broke out in a cold sweat again.

That copper coin had indeed accelerated his recovery, and to a certain extent, it could be said that if it hadn't existed, whether he could have woken up smoothly was uncertain; there was a not-so-small probability that he would have directly become a vegetable.

But relying on it to heal his injuries, besides wasting his kung fu, the quality of this restored body was truly not good.
