Chapter 179: The Old Man Wants to See Yang Qjngyue?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Time flew by, and another day had passed.

At noon on the second day, Li Yidao sat in front of his door, enjoying the breeze.

He noticed a taxi stopping on the street, and three tired individuals got out— Sister Zhou, Li Xinting, and Yang Qingyue.

Just as he had speculated, Yang Qingyue came along.

Li Yidao knew that she probably had something to discuss with him.

According to his guess, Yang Qingyue wasn’t affiliated with any particular organization, but she did possess certain abilities.

What these abilities entailed, she might not have entirely figured out herself and might need someone to help analyze her potential.

Li Xinting wasn’t a likely candidate for this task, and her foster parents were even less suitable.

Now, with Brother Dao’s presence, this was an opportunity.

It was a chance for Yang Qingyue to contact someone who might help her make sense of her situation.

“Welcome back, ” Li Yidao calmly greeted them.

Sister Zhou and Li Xinting nodded simultaneously.

Yang Qingyue glanced at Brother Dao, expressing her thoughts without words.

“I’ve ordered takeout, it should be here soon. Let’s have lunch together,” Brother Dao said.

“Thank you,” Sister Zhou and Li Xinting replied in unison.

Yang Qingyue nodded as well.

Half an hour later, they placed a table at the front of the shop and enjoyed the takeout that Brother Dao had ordered.

It was a simple meal—several portions of noodles.

Li Yidao suspected that they probably couldn’t stomach anything too greasy at the moment.

He could imagine the shock and the lingering psychological effects they must be dealing with after witnessing Wang Ergou’s death.

So, he had intentionally ordered a simple dish of noodles, waiting for Sister Zhou and Li Xinting to return.

“Brother Dao, thank you,” Li Xinting was the first to speak after taking a few bites.

Sister Zhou also chimed in, “Thank you, Brother Dao. If it weren’t for you, we might not have made it back.”

In Sister Zhou and Li Xinting’s perception, they believed that Brother Dao was responsible for Wang Ergou’s death.

After all, it was Brother Dao who had discovered Wang Ergou’s live stream and followed him, and then the incident occurred.

This sequence of events seemed to align with Brother Dao’s style.

However, after they expressed their gratitude, Yang Qingyue seemed to pause for a brief moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

Though this moment was quite short, Li Yidao noticed it.

Nevertheless, he remained silent and continued to eat his noodles.

As their bowls gradually emptied, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting exchanged glances, and Sister Zhou spoke up, “Brother Dao, have you agreed to the platform’s invitation for the upcoming event?”

Li Xinting also looked at Li Yidao, awaiting his response. Li Yidao didn’t speak but nodded, which served as his answer.

“Then… we’ll accept the platform’s invitation too?” Sister Zhou’s voice contained a hint of inquiry.

It was evident that they were seeking Li Yidao’s opinion.

Yang Qingyue, at this moment, glanced at the two of them, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was contemplating why they needed to consult him.

However, Brother Dao understood why they were asking for his opinion.

After all, both of them were followers of Brother Dao, and anything unexpected could happen.

For instance, this time, they had come close to not returning at all.

Now, they deeply regretted not informing Brother Dao when they headed to the mountainous area.

Having Brother Dao’s attention might have prevented any danger.

In their hearts, Brother Dao was almost omnipotent.

In response to the inquiry from Sister Zhou and Li Xinting, Brother Dao thought for a moment. He was pondering a question: Why was the emergency task already marked as completed?

The system had delivered a notification as soon as Wang Ergou died, stating that the emergency task was complete.

It implied that the task wasn’t solely about rescuing Sister Zhou and Li Xinting but aimed at resolving the crisis they faced.

With this perspective, everything made sense.

“Brother Dao?” Sister Zhou asked again, seeing that Li Yidao had been silent for a while.

Li Yidao, now back from his contemplation, responded softly, “Oh, you can decide your arrangements.”

After Li Yidao’s response, everyone fell into silence again. After a while, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting decided to return to rest.

Of course, they also asked Yang Qingyue if she wanted to rest.

However, Yang Qingyue temporarily declined, saying she wanted to stay outside for a while.

But in reality, her purpose was to have a private conversation with Brother Dao.

As Sister Zhou and Li Xinting returned indoors, Brother Dao and Yang Qingyue, who were sitting outside, remained silent.

Half an hour passed, and Sister Zhou and Li Xinting had not come out.

It was then that Yang Qingyue finally spoke up.

“Can you really see when someone is about to die?” Yang Qingyue, who was no longer displaying her previous innocent demeanor, asked.

She had reverted to her earlier composed disposition.

Li Yidao slowly opened his half-closed eyes and looked deeply at Yang Qingyue. “You… can control water droplets?” He didn’t provide an answer.

Instead, he posed a counterquestion.

Upon hearing Li Yidao’s response, Yang Qingyue visibly paused. “You can see

This time, Li Yidao remained silent, smiling slightly at Yang Qingyue.

It was evident that her question was somewhat redundant.

She had been so discreet in her actions that if Li Yidao hadn’t seen, he wouldn’t have been able to ask.

Yang Qingyue also realized that her question might have been unnecessary.

After a few seconds, she looked at Li Yidao with seriousness. “Do you know why this happened?”

Yang Qingyue looked at Li Yidao with a hopeful expression, but she was visibly disappointed when he gently shook his head in response.

However, Li Yidao continued, “Your ability isn’t the only one. There’s no need to worry. Given some time, you should figure it out.”

He then asked, “When did you first realize you had this ability?”

This question left Yang Qingyue momentarily perplexed, but a glint of hope returned to her eyes.

“I’ve felt my situation since I was very young. In my perception, water is like my own body. I just didn’t know how to control it. It wasn’t until three years ago that I could gradually gain control.”

Upon hearing Yang Qingyue’s explanation, Li Yidao nodded lightly.

It seemed like this world was indeed quite similar to what he had speculated.

There was an unknown side to the world.

“Ding, ding, ding.”

As Li Yidao contemplated what else to discuss with Yang Qingyue, his phone rang.

He picked it up and noticed that it was the old man calling.

Subconsciously, he answered the call and heard the old man’s somewhat somber voice on the other end.

“Bring that girl to me. She can’t stay with you.” Huh? Li Yidao was momentarily taken aback.

“That girl?”

He glanced in Yang Qingyue’s direction almost involuntarily.

Could the old man be talking about Yang Qingyue?
