491 A Good Man (1/2)

Li Guang saw their interaction and couldn't help but feel even warier towards Yao Ling. The woman could affect Yao Ying's judgment to that extent.

Yao Ling answered Li Guang on Yao Ying's behalf, not caring about what the old man's thoughts. If the latter thought of her as a hindrance, so be it... It meant that she needed to remove this man... and also, his daughter. However, the man was still useful to them because he knew Yao Ying's full background.

”Da Ren, my husband isn't ready... Can we talk more on another day?” Yao Ling politely said with a hint of stubbornness on her tone.

”But...” Li Guang wanted to refute, however, Yao Ying stopped him.

”You should listen to her...” Yao Ying said in a firm tone. ”You can retreat for now. Once I am ready, I will call you again.” He didn't give room to argue and Li Guang could only grit his teeth while retreating.

His unwillingness could be seen clearly by the couple and they kept that in mind.

Yao Ling asked softly, ”Do you believe in him?”

No matter what, they saw a lot of holes from his stories... He looked sincere at the beginning but once he saw Yao Ling, they could feel Li Guang's change... Was it... because of his daughter? If he wasn't sincere or loyal, then why did he let himself fall into such big trouble back at the Qin Kingdom?

Yao Ying sighed. ”I can only believe in him at the moment because there is no reason for him to lie... But, my father... a Shu person? Who would that be?” He wondered while having a lost expression on his face. Although there was a certain hatred in his mind, he was still feeling curious to know his identity.

”Do you want to ask for help from A Thousand Words? Maybe they could find out something about it? I know that it's a bit risky, but I'm sure that we can trust Hei Yue and the others...” Yao Ling suggested softly. ”At least, you can double-check whether Li Guang has told you the truth or not.”

Yao Ying pondered for a little while before nodding his head. ”It seems to be a good idea. However, Li Guang's words were a bit vague. How could we find out anything about 'him' easily?” Yao Ying's mood was complicated so he didn't directly call that man as his father and his mind didn't work as sharp as usual because it related to his own past. Whether he would recognize that man as a father or not... he would decide it in the future.

”What?”

Yao Ling could only shake her head inwardly. A person could become muddleheaded when they were thinking about the matter that was involving himself, luckily, she was here to think on his behalf as well.
