However, I suddenly realized a problem. Demoness Ye Ji had left Li Meiyu's body and helped Li Meiyu fall into a coma. It was naturally a good thing for Li Meiyu, but Li Meiyu's family didn't know the truth. If I didn't tell them the truth, I would have to come up with a suitable excuse. Only then would I be able to justify myself.
Without a doubt, the news of Witch Ye Ji's reappearance shouldn't be known by too many people. Otherwise, it would bring unpredictable troubles. After all, she was only a flash in the pan before I absorbed her cultivation. It was quite pitiful.
After racking my brain, I came up with a plan. Then, I left Li Meiyu's room.
Not long after, under the guidance of a servant, I found Old Man Li. He was practicing calligraphy in the study room. What was worth mentioning was that Old Man Li's calligraphy was vigorous and powerful. There was a sense of artistic conception to it. A person like me, whose calligraphy was like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, felt ashamed looking at it.
"Hey, Xiao Zhuang, didn't you go with Yu 'er?
Why do you have time to come here? "Old Man Li asked curiously.
"Old Man Li, I was just about to tell you about this," I smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, what's the matter? Just say it," Old Man Li waved his hand and said amiably.
"Old Man Li, it's like this …" I organized my thoughts and then slowly told him.
I told Old Man Li everything that happened that night when Witch Ye Ji complained in the bar. When he found out that Li Meiyu didn't have much time left to live, he suddenly felt his heart pounding and his expression became strange.
Only a few people knew about this secret. Li Meiyu being willing to tell me showed her trust in me. But in other words, Li Meiyu was already on the verge of death. If something happened to her, the Li family's influence would be greatly reduced.
Because of this, Old Man Li was especially distressed. Then, he patiently told me about the Li family's hidden bitterness. Obviously, in the eyes of the outside world, the Li family had a living treasure. However, it couldn't be used limitlessly. The worst part was that every time they used this "cheat", it would bring irreversible damage to Li Meiyu.
Now, Li Meiyu had completely lost this ability. She might be able to hide it from the public in a short period of time, and outsiders wouldn't be able to find any clues. But after a long time, she would become unreliable. It was like a singer who was famous for singing had a bad voice. She could hide it for a while, but she couldn't hide it forever. In the future, if the Li family lost Li Meiyu's golden name, sooner or later, it would become deserted. At that time, the Li family's influence would also be greatly reduced.
Following Old Man Li's complaint, he was angry and sad. I comforted him. "Old Man, it's not as bad as you think. Just now, I found out about Miss Li's situation, and then I investigated her. I found a bone-chilling cold in her body. If I'm not wrong, it should be this power that caused Miss Li's lifespan to decrease. So, I immediately sealed the power in her body. Even though Miss Li has fallen into a deep sleep, it has indirectly slowed down her illness. When I find a suitable cure, she might be able to get rid of this curse," I said calmly.
"Aha!"
Old Man Li's eyes suddenly lit up. He was indescribably excited. He was very well-informed, so he had heard about the matter between Minister Wu Lei and me. Even a disease like cancer wasn't an incurable disease in front of me. Perhaps there really was hope to help Li Meiyu.
"Xiao Zhuang, is this true?" Old Man Li excitedly pulled my arm and asked with a trembling voice.
"Cough, Old Man, I don't dare to say that I'm a hundred percent sure, but for a doctor, the more difficult the disease is, the more motivated I am to research it. Furthermore, Old Man Li thinks highly of me. Don't worry, I will treat Miss Li as my little sister, and do my best to cure her."
Although I still didn't know what caused Li Meiyu to have such a body, I couldn't deny that I had an undeniable responsibility for her current state.
That was why I had to save her. After hearing my promise, Old Man Li shed tears of gratitude and repeatedly agreed.
Originally, Li Meiyu was already a dying person. Suddenly seeing a glimmer of hope, how could Old Man Li remain calm?
"Xiao Zhuang, what you said just now was good, but the way you addressed her was a bit inappropriate. Although Yu 'er is young, her thoughts are far more mature than those of her age. Moreover, I feel that the two of you are fated to be together. I heard from Yu' er that when she went to Nan Yun City to play, on the plane back to Beijing, her illness suddenly flared up and she met you. If it wasn't for you helping her in time, it's very likely that Yu 'er would have died. Not to mention, you also cured this old man's chronic illness. I really don't know how to thank you. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. As long as this old man has the ability to do it, I won't even frown."
Old Man Li has always been a person who knows how to repay favors. Now that the Li family owes me a lot of favors, I have to find a way to repay them. However, if they use money to repay me, I will definitely turn my nose up at them.
"Mhmm, Old Man Li, you don't need to feel any psychological burden. When I do things, I only ask for a clear conscience. Whether it's worth it or not, if everything involves benefits, then it's too vulgar." I shrugged and said seriously.
Hearing my words, Old Man Li couldn't help but look at me deeply. "What a good 'too vulgar'!
The ancients said that the people of the world come for benefits, and the people of the world go for benefits. For you to be able to look at all of this from the perspective of the times, it shows that you have an extremely high state of mind. This is enough to show that your achievements are not a coincidence. In the future, your achievements will certainly be immeasurable! "
