Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 481 - 87_5

Li Zhiyuan finished eating, first escorted Alii upstairs, and then came down to enter the study.

Liu Yumei wasn’t sitting upright on the couch waiting like a strict teacher this time, but was lying on her side, gently fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan.

Li Zhiyuan sat down, opened his schoolbag, and took out his books.

At that moment, he noticed three items on the tea table.

On the far left, was a piece of paper with writing that was barely decipherable, looking like hieroglyphics, but Li Zhiyuan immediately recognized it as the beginning of the first volume of the "Thief’s Version" of "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique", only in a scrawl similar to a dog’s crawling.

The Grandmaster was truly laudable; she had also grasped this method of conveying the message.

Of course, for her, it might have just been a thin layer of paper away from realization, once understood, it’s like piercing through.

In the middle, there was blank paper and a brush.

On the right, just like the casually placed "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique" before, lay a copy of "Qin’s Jiao Observation Method".

Li Zhiyuan was starting to understand the Grandmaster’s intention.

"Xiao Yuan, grandma is no longer young, I need to digest my food after eating, so if there’s anything you don’t understand, write it down first."

"Alright, Grandma."

Li Zhiyuan picked up the brush and began to write out the second volume in that scrawled calligraphy.

As he wrote, he said, "Grandma, Run Sheng is in good health, it would be a pity not to practice some martial arts."

"Your Uncle Qin is coming back the day after tomorrow. Let him teach."

"Grandma, there’s a volume in the Qi Observation Technique I don’t quite understand; it seems to talk about Qi, yet also about its physical form, conflicting colors and flavors. What exactly does it refer to?"

"The human body is itself a closed cycle; everyone’s body is a microcosm. This is the method of medicine, also known as the method of poison."

"Yin Meng would be suited to learn this."

Medical skills are useful, and sending people to the infirmary is inconvenient, plus many special injuries are beyond the scope of modern medicine.

As for the method of poison, it is truly suitable for Yin Meng; she definitely has a talent, she only needs to cook normally to achieve a poisoning effect.

"Just have Aunt Liu teach her."

"Grandma, what should Tan Wenbin study?"

This was a genuine question from Li Zhiyuan, hoping that Liu Yumei would offer advice from the perspective of an elder with experience.

"Let him learn whatever he wants. You need someone to call orders at the front of your boat. He was able to make your Grandmaster happy, which is a skill in itself.

Your Grandmaster may seem to be always smiling, but he’s very picky when it comes to people.

Besides, you, lad, you’re even pickier than your Grandmaster."

"Call orders?"

"Don’t misunderstand; this isn’t about being a gatekeeper. Whether I push you or not, with your ambition, you are bound to take to the rivers.

Since you are destined for river-crossing, naturally you’ll need someone at the boat’s prow, calling orders and managing the myriad of ghosts and spirits above and below the river.

The Dragon King doesn’t easily leave his lair, hence wherever he goes, he carries the sign of the Dragon King.

Let him sit with me when he’s free. I’ll personally explain all the old rules to him. You, my boy, would be too lazy to listen to this old lady’s nagging."

"Thank you, Grandma."

"However, there’s one more thing. Once you’ve entered the sect, they have to pay their respects to you. That way, the legacies of the Qin Liu Family could be imparted to them. Later, when they go out, they can say they are disciples of the Qin Liu Family’s Dragon King."

"Pay respects..."

"The old rules were strict, paying respects to the Dragon King was akin to signing over one’s life, and those who dared to defy would be chained and thrown into the river. I’m not sure about other families, but I believe all that is an old almanac now.

Consider this respect-paying as a mere formality, just going through the process."

"Alright, Grandma. I’ve finished writing the second volume."

"That’s enough for now. I’ll have a look at it when I’m free."

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma."

Li Zhiyuan knew what Liu Yumei intended to do; she needed to plan for the succession, translating these profound meanings into common text. So, when he returned, he might as well finish writing out all the remaining volumes.

Setting down the brush, Li Zhiyuan naturally picked up "Qin’s Jiao Observation Method" and placed it in his schoolbag.

A smile appeared on the corners of Liu Yumei’s mouth.

"Grandma, I’m going upstairs to find Alii."

"Go ahead."

Li Zhiyuan left the study.

Actually, it wasn’t really a trade before, Liu Yumei had promised him that she would agree to any request he made, but even if it was one’s own child asking their parents for a toy, it still required a certain attitude and strategy. Some things, there’s a big difference between agreeing to your request and actively helping you make it happen.

The Grandmaster was actually rather easy to please; it was all about saving face.

Two flowers bloom, each showing their own branch.

Tan Wenbin took a leave slip from the infirmary, went to ask the drills master for leave, and he was specially approved to accompany, to which Tan Wenbin was happily idle. He took a professional book from the dormitory and ran back to the infirmary.

Lin Shuyou was hooked up to an IV, sound asleep, while Tan Wenbin sat beside the bed reading his book.

At this moment, two girls carrying drawing boards passed by the infirmary window, chatting and laughing.

Both girls were tall and slender, one in a white dress, the other in blue.

Tan Wenbin momentarily diverted his attention from the book to look at them: these were the artistic upperclassmen of the college.

After they passed by the infirmary, Tan Wenbin lowered his head again, eye-resting over, and continued to read his book.

Then, as if sensing something, he turned his head to look at the adjacent bed and discovered that Lin Shuyou, who was supposedly asleep, had his eyes open.

"You lad, despite being so badly injured, you still have the mood to look at beautiful girls, you better heal up quickly and then go chase them..."

Tan Wenbin stopped mid-sentence, shocked to find that Lin Shuyou’s pupils were now... vertical!
