Li Zhiyuan knew, he got it right.

It hated Wei Zhengdao the most, yet cared about Wei Zhengdao the most.

As for describing this, it truly wasn't difficult, as this person must have once been exceptionally talented, but geniuses become immediately dull in front of Wei Zhengdao.

In this regard, Li Zhiyuan could easily relate.

It felt something towards Xiong Shan's son, probably because the child appeared beside him.

At last,

It spoke:

"Let's peel back the human skin and speak honestly."

"Hmm?"

"Have you seen him?"

"How did you figure it out?"

Li Zhiyuan didn't deny it, though he didn't remember, he could almost confirm he had indeed seen Wei Zhengdao.

"After you came back this time, your confidence, it's different."

"Was I so lacking in confidence before? After all, I'm also the heir of the two Dragon Kings."

"Is that truly yours?"

"How is it not?"

"Do you truly believe that is yours, from the bottom of your heart?"

"I'm striving and gradually acknowledging it."

"So, at least for now, it's still not yours. Then tell me, where does your current confidence truly come from?"

Li Zhiyuan fell silent.

It continued: "You might not realize it, but it's clear as day to me, including the stance you're taking in front of me now, it's all so obvious."

"Alright, I admit, you got it right."

Li Zhiyuan could feel its excitement, it earnestly wanted to know about Wei Zhengdao.

If he told it that he forgot.

It wouldn't have Grandma Liu's temperament, it would go mad, and then peel many people into boiled prawns.

It could do such things because it's questionable how much control it still has over itself, once emotions run wild, it becomes the biggest source of threat.

"Is he really not dead yet?"

Li Zhiyuan was about to start fabricating.

He thought that during the time he lost his memory, he must have considered this question when facing Wei Zhengdao, maybe even brought it up to Wei Zhengdao.

Trusting in his own rationale, he believed that he must have had a plan back then, if there were no traces, then... no traces were required.

Even when making things up, he believed that the self who later lost his memory would be able to smooth it over.

With this thought, Li Zhiyuan felt no burden.

"He's dead."

"Dead? Then how did you see him?"

"You know, someone like him, it's hard for him to die a clean death."

"Indeed."

"He thought of many ways to end his own life, struggled for a long time."

"As expected."

After a brief silence, it spoke of its own accord: "Did he ever mention me?"

"He did."

"What did he say?"

"He said you're as dumb as a dog that would be tricked into guarding the door."

"Hahahahahahaha!"

Li Zhiyuan intentionally made it up like this because he knew what he wanted it to do, and it also knew what he wanted it to do.

Now, he was merely "saying" it out loud through Wei Zhengdao's words.

Would it get angry, storm with fury, act against the grain deliberately?

No, it wouldn't.

It was very dangerous, very scary, but its personality was easy to guess.

Especially when he finally had the confidence to stand calmly in front of it, both "personalities" were elevated to the same level, devoid of that mysterious, untouchable veil obscuring it, making the view clearer.

It: "He's not wrong, am I not just like that now?"

Li Zhiyuan smiled without speaking, his mind rapidly thinking of how to answer the next question.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should ask: What else did he say?

He needed to think of a perfect answer, one that left it deeply resonant, satisfied enough to end this Q&A about Wei Zhengdao, making it feel there was no need to continue asking.

Because he hadn't found the specific memory of seeing Wei Zhengdao, he truly couldn't bear excessive questioning; asking a few more times could easily expose him.

The silence was broken again.

It: "What else did he say?"

Li Zhiyuan: "He asked me to give you a message."

"What message?"

"I'm sorry."
