Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 324 Old Man

After coming out of Situ Han's house, Li Zhi walked straight towards the inn. He had no intention of strolling along the way. He walked hurriedly and soon returned to the inn where he was staying.

After entering the room of the inn, Li Zhi slowly closed the door, then walked straight to the table and sat down, his brows tightly furrowed, completely lacking the relaxed look he had when he was chatting and laughing with Situ Han at his house just now.

At this moment, he had a solemn look on his face, lowered his head and fell into deep thought, constantly wondering in his mind what the purpose of Situ Han's actions was.

Li Zhi was a cautious and suspicious person. In his opinion, no one in this world would be so nice to another person for no reason. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Situ Han showed his kindness to him repeatedly, and there must be some ulterior motives behind it.

As he was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in Li Zhi's mind - Master Liu!

Immortal Master Liu was also the same at the beginning. He was friendly and caring to him on the surface, but in fact he had other intentions and was secretly plotting against him.

Now, Situ Han's behavior made Li Zhi involuntarily overlap his figure with Liu Xianshu's.

However, even though Li Zhi knew very well that Situ Han might have bad intentions, he ultimately did not refuse the mission to pay tribute to the Wei Dynasty.

The reason for this, after all, was that the temptation of those one thousand contribution points was too great, so great that Li Zhi simply couldn't refuse.

You know, these one thousand contribution points are absolutely a huge deal for Li Zhi.

With these one thousand contribution points, Li Zhi can exchange for water-type energy. As long as he opens the kidney water level, Li Zhi's five internal organs meridians can be completed, and his five internal organs can also reach perfection.

Once the Five Internal Organs Meridians are completed and the five internal organs are perfect, Li Zhi will have full confidence that he can completely cultivate the Water Armor among the Five Elements and Five Armors in a short period of time.

At that time, the five armors will be complete, and the five elements will form a small cycle, flowing endlessly. Li Zhi's strength will usher in a qualitative leap and directly rise to a whole new height.

You know, although the technique of the five elements and five armors is quite difficult to practice, the process is extremely arduous.

But even so, among the many spells in Xiaoyao Mountain, there are still many disciples who resolutely choose to practice this spell.

The reason for this is that the power displayed by the Five Elements and Five Armors technique when the five armors are finally complete is among the best in the entire Xiaoyao Mountain's magic system, and it is undoubtedly among the top three.

Tang Shiyue, also known as the Five Scattered Man, is the master of the Five Elements and Five Armors in Xiaoyao Mountain. Facing Tang Shiyue, even a proud person like Liu Xianshi has to behave himself and dare not be too presumptuous.

This shows the power of the Five Elements and Five Armors technique.

As for the possible dangers of this tribute mission, Li Zhi was indeed a little afraid and resistant at first. After all, the journey was long and difficult, and he was in a foreign country. Who knew what kind of accidents he would encounter?

However, after being enlightened by Situ Han's words "Have you ever encountered anything risk-free during your entire journey?", Li Zhi suddenly realized.

That’s right. Ever since I came into this world inexplicably, I have always been surrounded by dangers.

From the moment he was sold to the He Mansion, he almost became a material for elixirs.

Then he pretended to be friendly with Master Liu until he successfully killed Master Liu. Before he had time to relax and get rid of the threat from Master Liu, the bounty warrant from Xiaoyao Mountain came.

If Li Zhi had not been so determined and had many tricks up his sleeve, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived until the day when Crazy Liu came to recruit him.

Even after he joined the Night Patrol, he was not without danger. Hasn't he been dealing with all kinds of strange, unpredictable and extremely dangerous abnormal events since he joined the Night Patrol?

In this world full of uncertainty and crises, danger is commonplace and is simply unavoidable.

Li Zhi knew that instead of spending time and energy worrying about whether there would be danger along the way, it would be better to seize every minute and every second and try every means to enhance his strength.

Only when you are strong enough can you have more confidence in facing various unknown dangers and survive better in this world.

Moreover, as long as he becomes stronger, even if Situ Han really has intentions towards him, he can turn Situ Han into another Master Liu!

The dead Master Liu!

 …

After Li Zhi left, Situ Han was still sitting quietly on the stone bench under the big tree. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes a little empty, as if he was immersed in thinking about something.

Suddenly, Situ Han seemed to have noticed something. He turned his head slightly and looked in one direction.

The old man who had been sitting at the doorstep of his house basking in the sun was now walking towards me with his hands behind his back, taking slow but somewhat swaggering steps.

Seeing this, Situ Han smiled faintly, with a hint of joking in his eyes, and asked, "Are the cakes delicious?"

The old man, who had been looking very arrogant, was startled when he heard Situ Han's words and then froze in place.

Then, a trace of panic flashed across his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm and said with his neck stiff, "What pastries? I don't even know what you are talking about!"

Situ Han didn't argue with him, but just pointed at the corner of the old man's mouth.

The old man then realized that there were still some pastry crumbs at the corners of his mouth, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

But he reacted quickly. He quickly stuck out his tongue and rolled the pastry crumbs that were originally left at the corner of his mouth into his mouth.

The old man smacked his lips, as if he was still savoring the taste of the pastries. Then he slowly walked to the stone table and sat down carelessly in the seat where Li Zhi had just sat.

He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Pour me a cup of tea quickly, I'm dying of thirst. The cakes that boy bought are delicious, but they are too sweet."

Situ Han seemed to have a rather special relationship with this old man. He didn't care at all about the old man's impolite way of speaking.

She just silently picked up a clean cup and skillfully poured a full cup of tea for the old man. The tea was rippling slightly in the cup, emitting a wisp of hot steam.

Seeing this, the old man didn't hesitate and reached out to grab the cup of tea. As if he hadn't had water for days, he tilted his head back and poured the tea in the cup into his mouth. The "gulp gulp" sound of him drinking water was particularly clear in this quiet courtyard.

"Another cup!" After the old man finished a cup of tea, he put the cup on the table, waved his hand, and shouted with full energy.

Situ Han followed his instructions and patiently poured the old man a cup of tea. There was no sign of impatience on his face, as if he had long been accustomed to the old man's impetuous and somewhat willful behavior.

The old man took the second cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking two cups of tea in a row, he finally breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction. He wiped his mouth with his hand and muttered to himself, "Oh, I can't eat so many sweets in the future..."

Situ Han looked at the old man, smiled helplessly and shook his head. He knew very well that the old man in front of him had no other hobbies but a special liking for sweets. Even though he was getting older and many doctors had repeatedly warned him not to eat sweets, he still did his own thing.

But every time after eating sweets and expressing such feelings, the next time he saw sweets, his eyes would still light up and he would eat them anyway, as if he had long forgotten those reminders.

The old man didn't bother to pay attention to the helpless expression on Situ Han's face. He leaned forward, got closer to Situ Han, and asked with a little curiosity in his eyes, "Do you think highly of that boy?"

Judging from his posture, it was obvious that he heard every word that Li Zhi and Situ Han said here just now, even though he was far away at the door.

When Situ Han heard the old man's question, he did not answer immediately. He just silently poured himself a cup of tea, then picked up the cup and drank it by himself, with no intention of talking.

The old man didn't care too much when he saw Situ Han's expression. He curled his lips and continued to talk to himself, "It's just that your excuse is too lame. There are many people in your Night Tour Division who are more capable than that boy. As for the matter of going to the Wei Dynasty to serve, even if there is no reward, I guess those people would scramble to go even if they have to pay money. You picked him specifically. Do you really think he is a fool?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Han put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "He is suspicious by nature. No matter what I say to him, he won't believe it completely. If he really wants to go, he will go even if I don't say anything. In this case, why should I spend so much time thinking of an excuse to deceive him?"

After listening to Situ Han's explanation, the old man curled his lips in disdain, but said nothing more.
