She coughed. Xiao Li also told her they couldn't bring her away without trading for a unique Life Type Magical Resource; she knew he was out there searching for the trade-worthy resource.
"I'd have to discuss that with my son, apparently…"
The Monk chuckled, twirling his beard. "Just tell me this: is your son a bad person at heart?"
"Absolutely no. He is like an angel at heart, just that he is a bit too much of a realist," Yue Li said with full confidence. "And there is nothing he wouldn't do for me. He is a very good child."
"Hmm…" The old man scratched his hair, muttering, "To think that I would rely on a demon to complete one of my vows. The world really is a weird place. But even if I bring her back with me, I would have no place to hide her, and I am not strong enough to fight the Fang Family by myself, nor their backing…"
Yue Li looked at the old man, her heart full of worry.
Was this old man really stronger than Xiao Li?
