Chapter 160: A Study, An Inkstone

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Sir, shouldn’t we first go to the hospital to see my grandson?”

“The house is not important. If necessary, I can give up the house. But my little grandson…”

As the old man’s friend exited the courtyard, the friend’s name was Wei Wenqiang, one of the wealthiest hidden figures in Jiang City.

Li Yidao was the first to have Wei Wenqiang bring him to his own home. However, Wei Wenqiang was quite puzzled, or rather, he was genuinely concerned about his grandson’s well-being at this moment.

On the way, he tried to persuade Li Yidao to go to the hospital first to save his grandson. Li Yidao smiled and said, “If we don’t resolve the root of the problem, even if I save your grandson now, there may still be issues later on.”

“Since it was the old man who asked me to come, I will address this matter from its source. If you only want me to save your grandson, I have no objections, but I need to call the old man first.”

Li Yidao’s lips curled up slightly, and his tone remained calm.

Unbeknownst to him, he had developed his own unique attitude towards speaking and acting.

Wei Wenqiang was visibly conflicted.

Eventually, he clenched his teeth and chose to remain silent.

As the car entered an upscale residential area, it stopped in front of a standalone villa at the center of the community.

Li Yidao, led by Wei Wenqiang, entered the villa.

However, as soon as he stepped inside, Li Yidao felt an unprecedented chill, despite the warm lighting throughout the entire house.

This icy sensation made him furrow his brow involuntarily.Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

His innate sixth sense, combined with the amplification of his Soul Detection skill, left no doubt in Li Yidao’s mind.

This villa was problematic!

“I’ve had everyone in the house move elsewhere, so there’s no one in the entire villa now,” Wei Wenqiang explained.

“But I still feel uncomfortable in the villa, so I instructed the housekeeper to turn on warm-colored lights before leaving.”

However…

When Wei Wenqiang reached this point, a hint of fear and unease flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t need to explicitly state what came next. It was already quite clear.

But he still felt cold!

Li Yidao remained silent, instead furrowing his brow as he surveyed his surroundings. Under the influence of his Soul Detection, he couldn’t detect anything abnormal. But…

Even an ordinary person would sense that something was amiss here!

Advanced Soul Detection!

However…

What struck Li Yidao as particularly strange was that using Advanced Soul Detection only cost him one year of lifespan.

Instinctively, he looked toward the direction of the desk in the study.

This aura was emanating from the location of the desk!

With Advanced Soul Detection active, Li Yidao saw a thick, faint red and purple aura around an inkstone on the desk!

Li Yidao didn’t approach the desk directly. Instead, he turned to his companion, Wei Wenqiang, and asked, “Where did you get that inkstone?”

Hearing the question, Wei Wenqiang was momentarily stunned.

Inkstone?

He subconsciously looked in that direction and a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes.

To be honest, he hadn’t paid much attention to an inkstone.

This upstairs study wasn’t his main workspace. It was primarily designed for calligraphy and writing.

But he didn’t have a particular fondness for such things in his daily life.

The previous owner of the house was passionate about calligraphy, and the room was decorated exquisitely and elegantly.

When he renovated the house, he didn’t make significant changes to this room. He only repaired some scratches.

He preserved the room’s original appearance.

He had only come to this room a few times and written a few pieces of calligraphy when he was in the mood.

With this in mind, Wei Wenqiang suddenly remembered something important!

This inkstone!

The previous owner of the house had specifically instructed about it!

He even remembered the previous owner’s reluctance to part with this inkstone. Originally, Wei Wenqiang had intended to let the previous owner take it.

After all, it wasn’t a collectible he cared about, and he didn’t mind. But the previous owner had been quite strange at the time. Despite his

reluctance, he had told Wei Wenqiang to take good care ot the inkstone and even said something like…

“It should be severed…”

At the time, Wei Wenqiang had found it puzzling but didn’t pay much attention to it.

“What’s wrong? Did you remember something?”

Li Yidao noticed Wei Wenqiang’s shocked and bewildered expression and asked.

Wei Wenqiang took a deep breath and, in an anxious tone, recounted everything in detail to Li Yidao.

After hearing Wei Wenqiang’s account, Li Yidao’s brow furrowed again.

It seemed like things were more complicated than they initially appeared.

There was undoubtedly a story behind all of this.

Judging from the current situation, there was a high probability that the strange occurrences in Wei Wenqiang’s house were somehow related to this inkstone.

It looked like today might be a good opportunity to try out the skill he had received as a reward for completing his previous mission….
