After the banquet, Li Qingcheng had Prince Hamman and his party settled in the villas behind the estate!
Once everything was in order, he then took Ye Feng to a study in a villa at the front!
This study was vastly different from those of the typical successful individuals, not a single modern book to be found, filled entirely with ancient texts and scrolls; even many bamboo slips were present, all exuding an air of ancient and simplistic elegance!
Ye Feng was taken aback - this was drastically different from what he had imagined. He had thought that Li Qingcheng, who had built a business empire and was akin to a godfather of the business world, would have a library stocked with economic and management books. Yet, it was full of ancient texts.
"Surprised?"
Li Qingcheng had Ye Feng take a seat, then took out a set of simple and elegant tea utensils, began rinsing and heating them, preparing to brew tea!
Ye Feng had not spoken a word; he quietly watched Li Qingcheng's tea-brewing skills, but the more he watched, the deeper his frown became!
Because he noticed that Li Qingcheng's tea-brewing skills were almost identical to those of Li Qingshan!
"Do you know someone named Li Qingshan?"
Ye Feng asked with a furrowed brow, his eyes fixed intently on Li Qingcheng's face.
He had already investigated and found that Li Qingcheng had no twin brother, which only deepened the mystery in his mind!
If the other party had no twin brother, why then did he bear such a striking resemblance, even their tea-brewing techniques were identical!
Li Qingcheng seemed slightly surprised, then smiled and shook his head:
"I don't know him! But our names differ by just one character, that's quite a coincidence!"
After speaking, Li Qingcheng looked curiously at Ye Feng:
"Who is he to you?"
Ye Feng's gaze remained locked on Li Qingcheng's expression. He noticed that the other's expression was still extremely calm, with not a single ripple, which puzzled him even more:
"He looks exactly like you, the tea-brewing skills are the same, and the names differ by only one character! Do you think that's a coincidence?"
Hm?
Li Qingcheng was taken aback and became even more astonished, "Are you serious?"
After saying this and seeing Ye Feng nod, Li Qingcheng's brows slowly knitted together.
"Ye Feng, do you know from whom I learned my tea-brewing skills?" Li Qingcheng asked directly.
Ye Feng shook his head, wondering if there was some story behind it.
"No one taught me, I haven't even read a book on tea art!" Li Qingcheng poured a cup of tea for Ye Feng and then one for himself, picked it up, and took a small sip, seemingly lost in endless thought:
"Because, I learned it in my dreams!"
What!!!
Ye Feng was startled, almost thinking he had heard wrong!
Learned in his dreams?
How could that be possible?
Seeing Ye Feng's incredulous look, Li Qingcheng couldn't help but let out a wry smile:
"Surprised? I am too! Since I was young, I have had a strange dream, in which there was a person who looked exactly like me. We would chat, play together; he knew medical skills, how to brew tea, practice martial arts, and so much more!"
While saying this, Li Qingcheng's aged face was filled with wistfulness:
"Even my rise from a mere cobbler to owning this vast enterprise is thanks to that person in the dream!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's shock was beyond words, and he could tell that Li Qingcheng was not lying, but the story sounded so mysterious that it was almost unbelievable!
"At first, I thought it was just an illusion! But later, I started having the same dream almost every night. The difficulties I encountered during the day, I would meet a person exactly like me in my dreams at night, and he always had a way to help me solve them!"
As he spoke, Li Qingcheng shook his head deeply:
"This is the greatest secret of my life!"
"Then why would you tell me?"
Ye Feng's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. If what Li Qingcheng said was true, then this was definitely the other's biggest secret, and now he was laying it all out for Ye Feng, there had to be a reason!
"Ye Feng, you're very smart!" After taking a deep look at Ye Feng, Li Qingcheng smiled and said:
"You are the first to know about this secret! Even my son and granddaughter, I have never mentioned it to them!"
After saying this, Li Qingcheng seemed a bit nervous, his hand trembling slightly as he lifted the teacup on the table and took another sip before continuing:
"This strange dream, however, suddenly disappeared half a year ago! From that day on, I never saw that person in my dreams again. But in that last dream where I saw him, he did say something!"
"What did he say?" Ye Feng's frown deepened, half a year ago, wasn't that exactly when Li Qingshan died!
"He said that I would face a great calamity this year, and the person who would help me through this calamity would be the noble person of the Li Family!" Li Qingcheng's gaze was intense as he looked at Ye Feng and said solemnly:
"I have come to trust his words over the years! Until the day you saved me, I knew that you were that noble person!!!"
Li Qingcheng's remarks were so astonishing that if heard by the average person, they would surely think the old man had gone mad, but Ye Feng knew that what the other person said could very well be true!
Perhaps the other person didn't know Li Qingshan!
Perhaps the other person truly had no relation to Li Qingshan!
But the person from those dreams could very likely be...
At this thought, Ye Feng shuddered violently; at this moment, that old man who had accompanied him in growing up and taught him countless things, suddenly seemed enshrouded in mystery, mystery Ye Feng could not comprehend!
"Ye Feng, in the years I've interacted with that man in the dreams, I came to understand many things! Things ordinary people simply cannot believe in, things that even current science cannot explain!" Li Qingcheng said to Ye Feng once more.
Ye Feng's heart slowly calmed down, and he vaguely felt as though a mysterious door were opening up to him:
"Can you tell me about it?"
Ye Feng was extremely curious; ordinary people wouldn't believe in such bizarre things, but Ye Feng was different!
His very being was marked by many oddities, even ones that science could not explain!
Like his Nameless Technique, like the strange energy in his body!
Seeing how curious Ye Feng was, Li Qingcheng laughed, and his laugh was so bright that his old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, as if he had found a kindred spirit!
"Ye Feng, do you know how big this world is? Earth, Galaxy, Universe!"
Ye Feng was startled; he knew the Earth's radius was 6,371 km, that the Milky Way was about 100,000 light-years in diameter, and all these were from books. As for other things, Ye Feng knew very little!
"Our Earth, as seen by us humans, can be said to be boundless!" Right now, Li Qingcheng's face showed a hint of self-mockery, even sarcasm, as if mocking humanity's ignorance and fearlessness:
"But how about Earth in the context of the Milky Way, or in the universe? It is nothing but a speck of dust, pitifully small!"
Having said this, Li Qingcheng's eyes burned as he looked at Ye Feng:
"Ye Feng, do you believe that there are civilizations in the universe that are more advanced than humans?"
