The gleam in Old Master Li's eyes.
"As long as you agree, I'm confident in your ability to accomplish this task."
Chen Kai could only muster a forced smile.
"I wish I can honor your hope, but honestly, I don't have any certainty at all."
However, Old Master Li didn't respond. He simply stared out the window, as if something had touched his heart.
Chen Kai felt awkward. The topic they were meant to discuss was already done, yet they had spent half a day talking about the conflict between the Qin and Li families, issues that were beyond Chen Kai's abilities.
If it were something else, Chen Kai could assure him, or at least be willing to try.
But this matter was exceptionally difficult for him. Thinking about Mother Qin's stern demeanor on the phone, Chen Kai's heart involuntarily shivered.
But as he had already promised Old Master Li, Chen Kai always honored his word, there was no turning back.
