Chapter 476: Chapter 476 Coaxing Ah Dao

However, they were also unclear about how the stone had been inserted.

But, it was at least a temporary conclusion to the matter.

The two groped around for a while, ensuring there were no other anomalies, before finally retreating outward.

By the time they came out, an hour had passed, and it was two o’clock in the middle of the night.

Old Uncle Qiu and the others had long been asleep.

The Yamen had a heavy workload these past two days, especially for new people who constantly needed to adapt to various work posts and still attend to their training.

Their days, starting early and ending late, were tough, but despite the hardship, compared to their previous state of constant turmoil and homelessness, their current life was an unimaginable blessing they wouldn’t have dared to dream of.

Thus, they all worked especially hard and put forth a lot of effort.

As for Ah Dao, he was on the roof, gazing at the moon.

Of course, while it’s called moon watching, he was actually waiting for Li Wenli to return.

After all, the young master’s midnight escapade to the jail with Bai Junjun was something he knew about, yet the young master hadn’t called him to join... which made him angry.

Seeing Ah Dao alone, looking at the moon, Bai Junjun yawned lazily and taunted Li Wenli, "Your resentful friend is waiting for you, I’m going to sleep."

Saying so, she gracefully returned to her room.

Li Wenli helplessly glanced at the young miss and, after she entered her room, stepped onto the Wind Blade to ascend to the rooftop.

He and Ah Dao sat side by side watching the moon.

Both of their silhouettes were slightly forlorn but carried an inexplicable air of chivalry.

Li Wenli asked, "Have you discerned anything profound from watching the moon?"

"Those who abandon me do not stay, the days of yesterday cannot remain," replied Ah Dao.

"..." Li Wenli.

Ah Dao cast a sidelong glance at him, "You went to the jail, without calling me."

"For such a small matter as the jail, it was enough for me to handle it myself, why trouble the master of Mysterious Dipper?"

"..." Ah Dao.

"However, I have a nice thing for you," Li Wenli said as he fished out a small, exquisitely made dagger from "inside."

Ah Dao looked at it curiously, noticing that the dagger was completely white, seemingly made from the bones of some animal.

"This is made from the bones of a Man-eating Eagle, I got it in Death Valley. I thought of giving it to you back then. These past days, with all the hustle in catching bandits, I forgot to give it to you. Pretty good, isn’t it?"

"!" Ah Dao was somewhat startled.

Li Wenli placed the dagger in Ah Dao’s hand, "It’s as sturdy as Mysterious Dipper, ordinary Copper Scrap Iron can’t break it. You are just like this, my most loyal and reliable friend."

"..." Ah Dao.

Bai Junjun’s senses were exceptional, and she could clearly hear the conversation between the two on the rooftop.

She couldn’t help but admire Li Wenli’s skill in handling people.

Looking at him, without any airs and showing genuine concern for Ah Dao, how could Ah Dao resist?

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before she heard Ah Dao’s voice, full of guilt and emotion, "Young master... I..."

Li Wenli patted Ah Dao’s shoulder, "You don’t have to say anything, I know you carry me in your heart, but I also want you to know that in my eyes, you are not a servant but a person with full consciousness. You are my partner. Apart from me, you should have your own dreams, your own cherished things, and not live just for me all the time, understand?"

Ah Dao was silent.

"Of course, you’ve been set in your ways for twenty years, and changing your thinking all at once will certainly be difficult, but that’s okay, we can change gradually. Remember, besides me, you can also have your own life just like Xiao Chan and the others. It’s very late; I’m going to sleep, you have fun by yourself."

With that, Li Wenli descended lightly down the stairs to his own room.
