Chapter 172: A Chaos of Demons Share Comments
When a slightly tipsy Old Daoist Liu returned from the front yard, he saw Li Yunxin sitting alone in the dark corridor.
The old Daoist had no idea what had happened in the courtyard just now, but he could tell that Li Yunxin seemed to be in low spirits. He didn't think Li Yunxin was upset because he had been left behind to have a meal by himself. He knew that Brother Xin wasn't always a fan of excitement or solitude. But he certainly wouldn't have been happy to join Mister Li's kind of crowd.
He pulled up a wicker chair next to Li Yunxin, smelling of wine, and turned his head to let out a burp. "What's wrong, Brother Xin?"
Li Yunxin gave him a distant look in the darkness. "That Yue Yunzi has taken the bait."
Old Daoist Liu was stunned. The fine wine made him feel comfortable, but it had also dulled his mind a bit. He paused for a moment, then laughed. "Ah, Brother Xin, your divine calculations are incredible..."
"Uh, he was here just now?!"
After a moment of surprise, his mind turned to another thought. "But you seem... still troubled? Did something else happen?"
Li Yunxin touched his folding fan and let out a light sigh. "When we were outside the city, I told you that Yue Yunzi was a smart man, that he would use the matters of cultivating good and evil wishes to scheme against me. Now it seems he is indeed a smart man. He even found some suspicious points on his own, which saved me a lot of trouble. And he did follow the path I designed, making a big deal out of the matter of good and evil."
"He even told me a bunch of things I didn't even know... Honestly, he's a true mentor."
