Chapter 231 The Old Man's Confession

I turned to look at the middle-aged man, who nodded at me somewhat helplessly.

"Grandma Li, please get up first. The purpose of your husband's return is to take you with him," I said as I walked over to the old woman, helping her to stand up. As I did so, I casually kicked that conical object to the side; who knows if she was pretending to have it there, and it wouldn't be good if it suddenly struck when I approached.

"Liang Zi, can you let me see my old man?" the old woman asked me with hopeful eyes. I figured that since she was about to leave with her husband soon, opening up the Heavenly Eye probably wouldn't be an issue. But when I looked towards her husband, he shook his head at me slightly.

"I'm sorry, Grandma Li, I can't do that," I said, shaking my head. I could only say this since the middle-aged man disagreed. Even if I really opened the Heavenly Eye for her, I was afraid her husband would choose not to appear.
