“Ding ding, ding ding.”

While Li Yidao was contemplating and observing his newly acquired skills and some items, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at it.

It was a call from the old man.

He answered, “Hello?”

“Come to my place, and, um… bring that woman with you,” the old man said.

Li Yidao was momentarily stunned.

Why did the old man sound so weak?

“Alright.” Li Yidao didn’t ask why.

The specifics would become clear once he arrived.

Soon enough, Li Yidao swiftly brought Sister Zhou to the old man’s villa.

As Li Yidao entered the courtyard, he saw Yang Qingyue sitting on a chair in the yard. Her face was pale, and her arm was wrapped in bandages.

Beside her, Li Xinting looked anxious.

“Brother Dao, you’re here. Hurry, go take a look… see…” Li Xinting pointed towards the direction inside the house.

Li Yidao’s heart sank, and he briskly stepped inside.

He saw the old man lying weakly on the bed. It was evident that he had suffered severe injuries.

“Here you are.”

Seeing Li Yidao entering the room, the old man smiled faintly.

Li Yidao didn’t speak but walked directly towards him.

Without a word, he placed his hands on the old man’s body.

What had he seen just now?

He saw the old man’s death probability reaching a staggering ninety-nine percent!

What did that signify?

It meant the old man had only a slim chance of survival!

And it was an extremely difficult chance!

Seeing Li Yidao’s actions, the old man didn’t stop him, but a faint smile lingered on his lips.

“Don’t worry; I understand my own situation. I won’t die. I just need some rest, and you don’t have to worry. Your ability might not necessarily be useful to me.”

The old man’s voice was calm. However, Li Yidao couldn’t calm down for a long time!

It’s really as the old man said! Useless! Li Yidao’s ability turned out to be useless! The Hand of God had no effect on the old man. No, it should be said the skill couldn’t be activated!

Li Yidao’s expression became heavy.

“Is it because of the previous battle?”

He knew the day before yesterday’s battle was not an easy one for the old man.

But… He didn’t expect it to be so dangerous!

However… The old man shook his head, “It has nothing to do with what happened the day before yesterday.”

“It’s an issue with my body itself. I moved around a bit today, which led to the deterioration of my physical condition.”

“I just need to recuperate a bit, and I’ll be fine.”

“The reason I called you here is because of the tattoo on that woman by your side.”

“The tattoo of the black cat. For now, we don’t have time to resolve it.’

“So, we need to suppress it for the time being.”

“You let her stay with me, and she can reside in the northernmost bedroom.

She will live here from now on. Qingyue and the others will take care of her.”

“When we leave, we can take her with us, and then we’ll figure out a way to solve it thoroughly.”

The old man’s voice was calm. However, beneath that calm voice, Li Yidao sensed some uncertainty.

Clearly, this time, the old man’s injury was not ordinary.

Li Yidao didn’t respond to the old man. Instead, he continued to inquire, “How did you get injured this time?”

He didn’t understand what had happened today. What had transpired?

The old man just smiled faintly. “Nothing happened. If you really want to know, go ask Qingyue.”

“I’m going to rest now. This time, my rest might take about a week.”

“Now, there might be some actions against those people targeting you. If necessary, you can stay at Unit 36.”

“As for these two little girls, I’ve got it covered. You don’t need to worry about their safety.”

He believed that the old man must have his reasons and assurance for doing so.

There must be a way to restore his condition; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such actions.

Li Yidao nodded again and refrained from further disturbing the old man. He slowly retreated.

In the courtyard, Sister Zhou, Xinting, and Yang Qingyue were all waiting.

They wore expressions of anticipation, waiting for Li Yidao to announce the next steps.

The sudden collapse of the old man caught them off guard. Naturally, they placed all the arrangements on Li Yidao.

“The old man wants some rest, nothing urgent. The three of you can stay here for now.”

“Sister Zhou, you stay in that room for a few days. Don’t come out. The room is prepared by the old man to suppress the movement of the tattoo on your arm.”

To be honest, Li Yidao couldn’t even sense the room the old man referred to before he spoke.

It was a room sealed by the old man using a special method, as if it had disappeared from the world.

Upon hearing Li Yidao’s instructions, Yang Qingyue didn’t show much reaction.

However, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting were momentarily stunned, especially Sister Zhou.

Soon, she recovered and softly replied, “Okay.”

Finally, Li Yidao turned his gaze to Yang Qingyue. “What happened? The old man said you know what’s going on.”

Li Yidao’s expression was calm when he spoke, but beneath that calmness was a hint of silence, making Yang Qingyue’s expression subtly evasive.

It couldn’t be said that Li Yidao was placing blame on Yang Qingyue, but he was undoubtedly expressing some dissatisfaction.

From the looks of it, it was apparent that the old man had been injured again because of Yang Qingyue.

Li Yidao didn’t intend to blame Yang Qingyue for the injuries the old man suffered on her account.

Since the old man took Yang Qingyue as his disciple, it was only natural for him to have the responsibilities of a master.

However… At this moment, Li Yidao felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Hence, he asked the question.

Yang Qingyue, in response, took a deep breath and said, “Actually, I don’t know why.”

“Originally, Xinting and I planned to go back. There’s an old person in the village who passed away, and he took great care of me when I was young.”

“If it weren’t for her taking care of me and supporting me, I might not have survived until now.”

“But… before we could go back, something happened.”

“I’m not very clear about the specific reasons, but I know there are some people. They surrounded us, wanting to take me away.”

“Naturally, I disagreed, and we ended up fighting. There were four of them in total. I injured two of them, but in the end, I also got injured, and Xinting fell into their hands.”

“Originally, I might have been captured by them. However, that’s when Master appeared. ”

“In the end, another person from their side joined the fight, and Master got injured. Of their five people, three can never return, one was severely injured, and the last one, who appeared last, was lightly injured.”

Upon hearing Yang Qingyue’s account, Li Yidao furrowed his brows. What was going on again?

Why did people on his side always end up besieged by enemies?

In his case, it was because he took action, triggering an attack from another faction. But… Why Yang Qingyue?

Li Yidao couldn’t figure it out for a moment.

He continued to inquire, “Do they have any common characteristics? Did the old man mention why?”

After some contemplation, Yang Qingyue replied, “They all seem to have a special ability to control water, just like me. Also, according to the old master, they want to capture me and use my ability for something.”

Hearing this, Li Yidao’s expression instantly turned cold. It seemed that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined.

No wonder the old man got so seriously injured.

In such a situation, especially with the old man already seriously injured, their strength was significantly reduced.

Meeting this kind of situation without holding back in the battle, it was natural that things went awry.

However… Li Yidao was now not only thinking about the fact that the old man was already injured! But also… Would the opponent come again?

In such a situation, would they simply give up?

Or would they come back for revenge?

Since they wanted to take Yang Qingyue to accomplish their goals, would they give up after the first failure?

If Li Yidao were in their shoes, he probably wouldn’t choose to give up!

The reason was simple!

After all… The old man had also been seriously injured!

If they could have new strength join them, taking away Yang Qingyue and even seeking revenge for others was not impossible!

Li Yidao took a deep breath.

The most pressing matter now was to find traces of the other side and know who they were.

The old man didn’t want to tell him, didn’t want him to know.

He just didn’t want him to be involved.

Now, Li Yidao didn’t say it was difficult to protect himself.

But it definitely wasn’t easy. The reason the old man had all three women stay with him.

Li Yidao speculated that the purpose should be very simple.

That was, if the enemy came again. He… should also have a backup plan.

Likewise, Li Yidao was well aware that in this situation, the backup plan for the old man was not simple!

After some thought, he realized that to quickly understand the opponent, he might need to visit Unit 36.

It just so happened… a trip there would be useful.

Qi Yuqiang and the other person in white.

It was time to go and rescue them too….
