Li Zhiyuan: "Hmm."
Picking up the peach branch from the bed, Li Zhiyuan planned to return Liu Yui's candle fla essence to her.
Liu Yui: "Which branch of the family are you from?"
Li Zhiyuan truly didn't know how to answer this question.
If he were to examine it carefully, he should belong to Alii's branch.
Liu Yui misunderstood and said, "You're from a collateral branch? Don't worry, the division between direct and collateral is to distribute family resources. Since you have such potential, your status will surely be higher than the direct line. The old ones in the family won't fail to understand this; if they don't, then I will arrange it for you."
Li Zhiyuan: "Thank you, Miss Liu."
The youth's fingertips approached the candle fla, gently hooking it, and the milky white candle fla separated from the holder, starting to burn at his fingertips.
Next, he would inject it into Liu Yui's forehead, allowing her to recover all her mories.
The issues she carried were indeed heavy, but as long as Grandma Liu could recover her self-awareness, she could resolve these issues herself.
Why hadn't Aunt Liu and the others done this?
Was it because Grandma Liu had instructed that they must wait for her return before letting this essence return?
Li Zhiyuan guessed half correctly.
In fact, after Run Sheng and others returned and were inford that Xiao Yuan himself was in Nantong, Aunt Liu couldn't wait to make a trial attempt, but... failed.
Similarly, when Li Zhiyuan wanted to return the candle fla to its owner, a strong Yin wind suddenly surged from the bed, shaking the candle fla violently, as if to extinguish it.
If Aunt Liu or Uncle Qin were here, they could quickly dodge and maneuver to ensure the candle fla's safety, but Li Zhiyuan lacked this capability for now.
To protect the candle fla, Li Zhiyuan could only tremble his fingertips slightly, using the rhythm of "Qin's蛟 Observation thod", allowing the candle fla to persist under the Yin wind.
Liu Yui's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously:
"Qin Family?"
"Buzz!"
The sword edge, earlier cald by Li Zhiyuan, began to gather sharpness again in response to the owner's emotional shift.
Grandma Liu was overjoyed that Li Zhiyuan could inherit the two families' gate and expertise, but to Miss Liu, this was utterly rebellious!
Li Zhiyuan: "I attempted to learn the Qin Family's cultivation technique. I didn't know until I tried that the martial skills of that group of Qin brutes are so simple and crude."
Liu Yui's expression relaxed upon hearing this, and she smiled slightly.
"Have you reported to the family?"
"I have reported it. The family elders are aware and have allowed to continue practicing."
"Did you obtain a complete version?"
"Not complete, but I can supplent it."
"Supplent?" Liu Yui's gaze toward Li Zhiyuan changed again, "You're a good child. After I complete Zou Jiang, the next generation's Zou Jiang journey can be yours."
"Thank you, Miss Liu, for your favor."
"Once you've supplented it, show it to first."
"As you command."
Miss Liu was still very interested in "Qin's蛟 Observation thod". She acknowledged the Qin Family's heritage as well.
However, she did not know that in the future, she would also hold the identity of the Young Madam Qin, and not only "Qin's蛟 Observation thod", but even the keys to the Qin Family Ancestral Mansion would be in her grasp.
Li Zhiyuan stepped back a few steps, and the Yin wind ceased.
The youth began searching for the origin of the Yin wind and finally saw half a face on Liu Yui's wrist peeking from under her sleeve; it was a woman's face, her mouth now closing.
This face likely belonged to the one under the Peach Forest; it had many, many faces.
With this face present, Li Zhiyuan could not truly approach Liu Yui to return the essence, and facing Liu Yui, he couldn't use force.
The youth returned the fla to the candlestick and bowed slightly to Liu Yui:
"Miss Liu, I shall take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
Li Zhiyuan carried the candle, nodded to Alii, and then exited.
Just as the youth left, Liu Yui, now fully awake, got out of bed, standing up.
Alii moved her small stool to the front of the bed, sat down, and watched Liu Yui.
Liu Yui, who was about to leave, sat back on the bed, crossed her legs, and slowly closed her eyes.
During these days, Alii basically sat face-to-face with Liu Yui.
Because only in this way would Liu Yui return to peace.
If otherwise, she would go out and might go seek a fight under the Peach Forest again.
Liu Yui: "Is he the youth you found?"
Alii said nothing.
Liu Yui: "Since he's collateral, the blood relationship is distant, so there's no issue."
Alii remained silent.
Liu Yui: "The talent of this youth, even I must admire, but such people often aren't good matches; those mature in mind are often indifferent to love.
Listen to your sister's advice: so people are to remain mories of your youth, for the future, you can choose another, and I can help you find one."
Alii still did not respond.
Liu Yui's eyelids began to droop, yet she was still concerned about Alii's matters. She couldn't help it; she felt a deep-seated closeness to her younger relative.
"Don't worry about what the elders say, even if it's their arrangents, I can override it for you. I dislike elders who love to arrange marriages for juniors, they're completely inappropriate."
Once, Miss Liu indeed acted like this; after the Qin Family's young master ambushed and threw the Liu family's arranged suitor into a dung pit, how could this not have been influenced by Miss Liu's prompting?
Furthermore, the successful alliance of the Qin and Liu Families was sothing the elders of both families couldn't dare imagine, even if they scratched their heads in disbelief.
