But fortunately, he intercepted everything in advance, nipping the danger in the bud.
Afterward, he found Tie Sha and asked him to contact the other two counties, instructing them to search and inspect for any such rouge boxes within their counties.
...
At nightfall, Li Yuan returned to the residence and found Pang Yuanhua in the inner chamber.
She was temporarily staying at Baihua Manor, accompanied by four disciples from the Frost Sword Sect.
"Miss Pang, sorry to disturb you late at night..."
"Please speak, Senior."
Li Yuan recounted the day’s events and asked, "Do you have any way to handle these rouge boxes?"
He had never mingled within the Zhong Mansion, but Pang Yuanhua had.
Thus, Pang Yuanhua was his insight into the Zhong Mansion.
This way, even if he never set foot in the Zhong Mansion, he could still have a channel to access its information.
Pang Yuanhua’s understanding of the Zhong Mansion and that mysterious Ghost Street was undoubtedly much greater than his.
Pang Yuanhua quietly examined those boxes and said, "Perhaps we can take them to Ghost Street for a stroll. I’ve heard of cases where itinerant traders successfully sold items to ghosts.
Senior can give the boxes to Yuanhua, and after selling them, Yuanhua will bring the ghost coins back to Senior."
Li Yuan looked at these five hot potatoes and directly handed them over to Pang Yuanhua.
He did not want to have any connections with the Lianyi House in Jade Capital City.
...
The next day, Xiaodie pushed Pang Yuanhua around the winding corridors and garden paths of Baihua Manor.
After half an hour, Pang Yuanhua entered Ghost Street.
When she erged, she handed over 1 "1 fen" note, 1 "3 li" note, and 2 "1 li" notes to Li Yuan, "Senior, indeed a ghost bought this rouge box and gave this much in total."
Li Yuan said, "A total of 15 li, which ans the rouge box is 3 li each. It doesn’t seem to be a valuable item."
He did not question Pang Yuanhua about withholding any money; there was a basic trust between them.
He put away the ghost coins, glancing at the equipnt bar: [Equipnt 1: 3 fen, 1 fen (2), 3 li (2), 1 li].
Pang Yuanhua suddenly said, "I will draft a list of items for Senior, detailing the items available for purchase on Ghost Street, their effects, and their prices.
However, this information is difficult to obtain, so additions to the list may be slow."
She was a clever woman and began to play her role.
Li Yuan, in return, said, "If you need ghost coins, just let know."
"Yes, Senior." Pang Yuanhua bowed gracefully and then called out to Xiaodie in the distance, who pushed the wheelchair to find Tang Nian.
Tang Nian had promised to redesign a wheelchair for her, and maybe today they could have a look.
Pang Yuanhua really liked that child...
anwhile, Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling so peace inside.
Finally, he could rest for a while.
This "peace after the heavy burden lifted" suddenly gave him a long-missed tranquility, making his creative thoughts spring forth like a fountain, and many thoughts in his mind began to connect, converging into a map along the Life Atlas.
He laid out his paper again, raised his brush, pondered a mont, and wrote: "Even if I gamble a million and don’t regret it, revenge across a thousand miles is as close as a footstep."
"Then... let paint a Knight Image."
The young man did not squander the sudden opportunity, imrsing himself in a mystical realm, painting on the paper with ink.
Each stroke was difficult, yet each stroke was fulfilling...
He painted for a day and a night, focused and absorbed, with no thoughts of the divine.
In the morning light of the second day, the young man finally let out a long breath, put down his brush, examined the painting, and then... smiled.
It was accomplished...
Visualization Image...
Life Atlas...
It was accomplished!
However, it seed that the ntal realm in his mind had not yet dissipated, and this lingering realm might still support him to paint another one.
The sa Life Atlas, but... a different Visualization Image!
