Chapter 365: Chapter 65_3Moreover, the way they handle it is even more extreme. It’s not just about leaving the inheritance to the son, but to the daughter only, omitting both father and son. In the Bai family town, only the Bai Family’s Lady is known, and neither the Bai family young masters nor the old patriarchs have been seen in the local chronicles or the Bai family houses. Where have these people gone over the past hundreds of years? Thus, Tan Wenbin envies Xue Liangliang’s treatment, but such treatment is not replicable. The normal treatment is actually "delight and then destroy." At the same time, this also brings up another point; after the banquet at the Ding family ended, Liu Yumei spoke to me about the Qin and Liu families’ issues and also explained why she, as an old lady, still has the confidence to stand her ground without giving face to those people. Li Zhiyuan feels that Grandma Liu didn’t lie to him. What she told him was the truth, but perhaps, not the whole truth. That is, the legacy of the Qin and Liu families might have taken a different path, a hint of which can be seen in Yu Shu’s attitude towards Grandma Liu. This also fits with the old lady’s consistent style; beneath the straightforward showing off of wealth lies a straightforward concealment of talents. "Xiao Yuan?" Run Sheng’s call brought the boy back from his thoughts. Li Zhiyuan pursed his lips; since he was moved, it was time for action. "Brother Runsheng, but I don’t have any tools right now." "That’s easy to fix." Seeing that Li Zhiyuan had agreed, Run Sheng immediately dove back into the water with energy. Actually, Li Zhiyuan could swim as well. There was a small river west of the Grand Master’s House, and he didn’t dare to venture into other waters during that time, so fishing was discomforting, but it was safe near the Grand Master’s House, so he also learned to swim from Run Sheng. He learned to swim, but when in danger, he was used to having Run Sheng pull him to safety. No other reason, just that Run Sheng was too good at swimming. If Run Sheng could also learn Uncle Qin’s trick someday, to grow gills in place just for himself, then Run Sheng would truly become a second Uncle Qin. Li Zhiyuan and Xue Liangliang stood up, shining the flashlight on Run Sheng, which wasn’t so much for illuminating Run Sheng, since he didn’t seem to need his eyes much underwater, but rather for them to watch. Initially, Tan Wenbin didn’t follow suit. Then unintentionally, he looked down at the flashlight hanging on his chest and realized that he had only lost the flashlight in his dream, it was still with him in reality. However, after hesitating, he decided not to use it, preserving some battery life for himself. He now feels a sense of crisis. It goes without saying what Xiao Yuan’s role in the team is, and Run Sheng’s need not be mentioned further, even Xue Liangliang has his uses, it’s just himself that seems... aside from cheering up the team when the atmosphere is low, he seems to be of little use. He doesn’t even know the chemical formula for stalactites. And the fate of a peripheral person in a team is to be gradually excluded from the team. Even if people want to keep playing out of old times’ sake, he wouldn’t be able to continue himself. He’s got to find a way to make himself useful. Should he take over Brother Liangliang’s studios and the little supermarket businesses left at the school to help Xiao Yuan make money... or should he switch to applying for the Jinling Police Academy? Without handy tools, Run Sheng found a rock and started smashing it against the first layer of steps underwater. The power exerted underwater is greatly affected, but Run Sheng appeared to naturally know how to circumvent that. As he kept smashing, the first layer of steps actually cracked open, with pieces resembling jade continuously floating out. Tan Wenbin swallowed his saliva: "This, isn’t it very valuable?" Li Zhiyuan said: "It’s jade, but the most common kind, not worth much." "Oh." Tan Wenbin nodded, letting go of the thought of collecting it, but then he looked up at the steps behind him, thinking that if he found something valuable later on, he would definitely take some with him. Let him alone bear the money-grubbing air while Xiao Yuan and Liangliang remain noble like chrysanthemums. Fact once again proves that the most direct isn’t always the most effective, but at least it shows results. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Zhiyuan guessed that people had been here before, but many probably met their ends here due to the Yin Miasma, drowning or being swept away by water. Even if someone managed to overcome the miasma, they probably hurriedly left, frightened. Unlike his four-person team, seeing a good trap and deciding to dismantle and take it home; even bandits didn’t scrape the ground quite like this. With the steps smashed open, many worms escaped, but they seemed able to sense who was resistant to them, so they didn’t approach the four any closer, circling even close to Run Sheng. However, these worms likely can’t stray too far from here. Xue Liangliang’s unique qualities only accelerated this process for them. Once they leave the special environment they inhabit, they’ll perish on their own. Some creatures simply can’t exist stably in nature on their own. Run Sheng surfaced, holding a jade seal in his hand. "Xiao Yuan, here." Li Zhiyuan reached out and took it, shining his flashlight on it. There were characters on the bottom, not squared characters, but a single character was engraved. Li Zhiyuan: "Yong?" Tan Wenbin looked at Xue Liangliang: "What does it mean, moderation?" Xue Liangliang shrugged his shoulders: "Believe it or not, I can’t even read this character?" Tan Wenbin clearly didn’t believe him. Xue Liangliang, somewhat between laughing and crying, said: "This depends on family education. Xiao Yuan knows about these things." Li Zhiyuan explained: "This is Wanzhou, also called Wan County. There have been traces of prehistoric human activity since the Old Stone Age, leaving many relics. Historically, the only ’Yong’ that matches this place is the Yong Country during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it was destroyed during the Spring and Autumn period by a coalition of Qin, Chu, and Ba." Tan Wenbin’s eyes lit up: "Is this a treasure from the Spring and Autumn period?"
