Once everything was wrapped up, he asked his granddaughter who she had cursed.
His granddaughter told him it was one of her roommates. That roommate not only formed cliques and bullied others in the dorm, but also stole things, messed around with various partners, and even stole the boyfriend she fell in love with at first sight.
The old man had eaten more salt than his granddaughter had rice, so he knew there were some exaggerations in her words.
*How long has the school year even started? Even if the cursed girl had a bad nature, would she have actually had time to commit so many misdeeds?*
But... what did it matter?
The people in their family just cursed whoever they didn't like. The person being cursed deserved it anyway, it was just their bad luck to have this disaster.
In these peaceful times, with the Heavenly Dao being so obvious, even families like theirs couldn't be too reckless. In the past, during the time of emperors or even warlords' chaos, they wouldn't have a hard time being guests of honor with a warlord.
He intended to leave the next day, but who knew his granddaughter would send another blood message.
Nantong Corpse Recovery Li?
A little tadpole from some unknown puddle had the nerve to meddle in Shizhuo Zhao's affairs.
Since the other party wanted an explanation, he decided to give them one.
"Sigh..."
The old man tilted his head back, letting out a sigh.
*Now, he really needed to give them an explanation: first, have his granddaughter apologize, then punish her. If they still weren't satisfied, they could bleed a bit more money for some tribute.*
The young man might have only snapped his fingers tonight without really acting, but the old man understood that the young man's background was not to be underestimated.
Stupid girl, of all people to curse, why curse someone with connections!
"Splash!"
Startled, the old man looked down, and in front of him, a figure leaped out of the water and landed right before him.
He was ready to flee, but his throat was pinned by a boot.
*Why... why... why were all three Guiding Incenses extinguished, yet there was still force left?*
The old man wanted to plead for mercy but couldn't speak because of the pressure.
He gestured frantically to show his intent.
But unfortunately, the boy was furious now, and even on any other day, he wouldn't have had anything to say to these "evil ways."
"Thud!"
The trident pierced through the old man's skull.
...
Li Zhiyuan walked into the hospital room and reached to turn on the light.
"Click!"
No response, the bulb was broken.
Fortunately, there were three candles lit in the hospital room, providing enough visibility.
"Brother Xiao Yuan." Tan Wenbin quickly walked up.
Before Binbin could speak, Li Zhiyuan said, "I found the murderer. I'll kill her entire family."
"Uh..."
What Tan Wenbin was about to say got swallowed back down.
*In his heart, he could guess that Brother Xiao Yuan probably knew what he was about to ask or do, so he preemptively blocked him.*
Tan Wenbin could only grin and say, "Brother Xiao Yuan, should I bow to you again without saying much, since you've already addressed it?"
Li Zhiyuan walked to Zhou Yunyun's bedside and checked on her.
She looked much better, with a rosy complexion and relaxed brows, even showing a "budding peach blossom" look.
This expression indicated that you could tell just by looking at someone that they were in love.
"Brother Xiao Yuan, should I wake Yunyun to say hi to you?"
"What are you going to say when you wake her up?"
"I..." Tan Wenbin licked his lips, "Brother Xiao Yuan, I plan to reassess my relationship with the class monitor. What do you think?"
"Brother Binbin, is this a test question?"
"Of course not, there's no fixed answer, not even a fixed process to solve it."
"Then decide for yourself, just don't regret it."
Tan Wenbin nodded, "I understand."
"You can also talk to Grandma Liu about it. She loves discussing these topics."
Liu Yumei was already looking idle, reading 'Dream of the Red Chamber', hoping for a younger generation's romance topic to come up so she could analyze and chat about it.
"Right." Tan Wenbin chuckled, "It could really give the old lady something to chew on."
"Clean up the array."
"I got it, I got it."
Tan Wenbin cleaned up the array. After he was done, he wiped his sweat and said, "Brother Xiao Yuan, have a seat. I'll go get some hot water."
Just as Binbin picked up the hot water kettle and walked out of the hospital room, he bumped into Lin Shuyou.
"Brother Bin!"
Excitedly, Lin Shuyou thrust the trident in front of Tan Wenbin, with a human head still impaled on it.
"Damn!"
*Anyone would be startled when a bloody, mushy human head almost gets shoved in their face late at night.*
"Brother Bin, this is the guy who wanted to harm Sister-in-law tonight. I took care of him for you, here's his head as a gift."
Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes at Lin Shuyou and said,
"Thanks, I'll just wash it clean and place it on Yunyun's nightstand. I'm sure when Yunyun wakes up in the morning, she'll be thrilled."
"Alright, alright!"
"What the heck, you killed the guy and brought his head back as if you were selling skewers?"
"Uh..."
"Did you take care of the old man's body?"
"After I cut off his head, his body just rotted away. It seemed like he had cursed himself."
"Cursed himself, what kind of hobby is that? As a means to escape?"
"Seems so."
"Then hurry up and dispose of that head, don't leave any traces, so Uncle Tan doesn't bother you during the day."
"Is Uncle Tan your dad, Brother Bin?"
"Yes, I'm adopted."
"Really?"
"Haha." Tan Wenbin laughed, but then he realized something, "Ah You, did you do a Divination?"
"I did, twice, and I even added one more on my own!"
