Chapter 1192: Section 729: Facing (3)
The fourth eldest grandson of Old Man Li, with the last name Li and first name Chenggong, has an auspicious name, but luck clearly wasn’t on his side. At fifteen, which was just two months ago on his first deep dive, he got hit. The young man was completely unaware, and the Immortal Master who checked him afterwards... perhaps was distracted, or maybe didn’t care at all. After all, according to Sage Qian, in Thainan, the probability of being possessed during a deep dive is even lower than winning the lottery.
Maybe that Immortal Master considered the odds and thought Li Chenggong wouldn’t have any issues, but he forgot that in probability theory, it’s all about whether it happens or not. There’s no rule of 1% or 99% guaranteeing success or failure.
And the most critical issue was, Li Chenggong felt fine, unaware that Chaos had already taken root in his body. According to the Immortal Masters’ calculations, if not for Malin’s intervention, it would take at most a week and at least half a month before Li Chenggong would turn into a fresh, hot Dark Curator.
By then, whether anyone at the Li residence survived would be a minor concern. If this Dark Curator were to publicize his location in the Subspace, countless innocents in New Hangzhou would die.
Though Li Chenggong screamed the loudest when Malin extracted the Chaos from him, he obviously understood the experience. After being saved by Malin, the discomfort he felt vanished like smoke in the wind. Of course, he went down on his knees in gratitude—the Li family was among the few who immediately recognized Malin’s princely aura. This kneel was genuinely filled with thankfulness, and Malin had to grab the boy tightly, or else he might have knocked his head on the ground with too much force.
You see, there are indeed differences between the young men of the Li family.
Of course, that boy now feels three parts gratitude, seven parts fear towards Malin. Malin was aware of what the boy was thinking and specifically patted his shoulder as he left—telling him as long as he stayed out of his way and didn’t disturb Meng Quyi, they could continue to coexist peacefully.
It made the boy abundantly grateful.
The entire Li household was deeply thankful to Malin for this, and that old gentleman insisted on accompanying Malin in his work, claiming that he had some influence on this street and could certainly help Malin and Sage Qian.
