Chapter 72: Chapter 72 What’s the Use of Your Method

An Yaoluo simply thought his mother was sick, but An Yan knew her mother wasn’t just sick; she had been poisoned.

Grandfather had said the poison was very cunning, able to endlessly replicate a specific factor in the blood, causing wounds to heal rapidly.

But the consequence was that it would make the blood viscous, leading to blocked blood vessels and eventually causing death.

All these years, Grandfather had tried countless methods to completely clear that poison from An Yan’s system.

She had also asked Grandfather who had poisoned her mother, but Grandfather just shook his head.

"Your mother won’t tell! I think the person must be formidable; she knew that even if she told us, we couldn’t help, so she chose to bear it herself. She wanted to let the matter rest!"

At that time, An Yan couldn’t understand why one should simply bear it.

If someone had dared to poison her mother, An Yan would definitely poison them back.

That’s why, over the years, apart from studying ancient medicine and Ancient Martial Arts with Grandfather, she had also delved into the study of poisons.

She wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine!

Now, after finally finding Li Tianyao, who also had the same poison in his body, his situation turned out to be completely different from what she had expected.

Li Tianyao seemed to be unaffected by the poison at all!

He was healthier than anyone else!

"Yanyan?"

An Yaoluo noticed she was lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

An Yan gathered her thoughts. "Nothing. What were you saying, Big Brother?"

"Big Brother wants to apologize to you! Mom passed away when I was ten. At that time, Dad was in the hospital, your second brother was five, and you were only two."

"Lots of relatives came to our house, but they weren’t there to help take care of us; they wanted to grab our family’s possessions, to divide up Dad and Mom’s inheritance."

"In the end, it was Old Master Luo who came, took care of Mom’s funeral, and saved Dad."

"When Old Master Luo took you away, Big Brother begged him, but he said that only he could cure your illness, so Big Brother grabbed your second brother and had him carry you away."

"Later, after Bai Xiaoyun came into our family, I admit I was happy, thinking we had a new mom."

An Yaoluo gave a bitter smile.

"Yanyan, you’re right to resent me. In fact, not only you, your second brother also said countless times that Bai Xiaoyun and An Shimeng were not good people, but I was foolishly unwilling to believe it."

"It’s only now that I realize how terribly wrong I was! I actually hurt my real family for the sake of a fake one with no blood relation!"

An Yaoluo sighed.

"Yanyan, Big Brother is sorry! Can you let Big Brother protect you in Mom’s place from now on?"

An Yan curled her lips into a smile.

"Okay."

An Yan was not a saint, nor was she extreme. Her original intention in doing all this was to make her big brother change his mind.

"This weekend, why don’t you accompany Big Brother to watch your second brother film on set?"

An Yaoluo wanted to tell An Duxuan in person about all the things that had happened at home.

It had been half a year since his younger brother last came home.

As soon as An Duxuan had arrived home, An Shimeng started acting coquettishly, demanding a gift from him, only to be rebuffed by his stern response.

"You’re not my real sister!"

And she burst into tears.

At the time, he’d felt An Duxuan was being a bit too harsh and had scolded him for it.

Yes, from childhood to adulthood, countless times, whenever An Duxuan had a conflict with An Shimeng, he had always seemed to side with An Shimeng.

He had thought An Shimeng was the younger sister, and it was only natural for an older brother to indulge his younger sister.

"Big Brother was really too foolish! I want to ask for your second brother’s forgiveness in person! You’ll accompany me, and if it doesn’t go well, you can speak for Big Brother. Is that okay?"

An Yaoluo’s eyes were full of hope as he looked at An Yan nervously.

An Yan nodded.

"Okay."

An Yaoluo finally relaxed.

"I went to the courthouse today. Bai Xiaoyun’s intentional homicide case has been filed, and a verdict will be announced soon. I also saw Qin Song. He has no money to hire a lawyer. I was thinking... should we hire a lawyer for him?"

"What kind of defense is Big Brother hiring a lawyer for?" An Yan asked with concern.

An Yaoluo looked at her helplessly and answered, "I hired the lawyer for Qin Song. Qin Song is the plaintiff! So, naturally, the lawyer will be arguing to prove the defendant’s guilt."

"Oh."

An Yaoluo glanced at her again and said, "Qin Song said that he will find a way to pay us back for the money later!"

"Yanyan, Qin Song is a very capable person; he can distinguish the authenticity of any jewelry or antiques. Once this is over, Big Brother plans to invest in a shop for him to appraise treasures. We’ll take half the profits. What do you think?"

"Oh."

An Yan still had a relatively good impression of Qin Song. A man who would never give up on his daughter’s life was indeed trustworthy!

"I ran into Tan Yanzhe today. Lin Shang is probably going to be sentenced to fifteen years!"

"Tan Yanzhe got out?"

An Yan remembered Tan Yanzhe had turned himself in for intentional assault. Could he really be out so soon?

"Bail! He was the victim in this matter, and although revenge isn’t right, Lin Shiping wasn’t seriously harmed, so he showed some restraint. But I heard he paid a hefty sum for bail!"

"Oh."

"Yanyan, are you still going to Li Tianyao’s place tonight?"

"Mhm!"

Li Tianyao had too many secrets.

She always felt that Li Tianyao was connected to the person who had poisoned her mother.

Should she enter his dream again?

Although in Li Tianyao’s dreams she was merely an observer, dreams were a reflection of reality. Maybe she could find the secrets Li Tianyao was hiding there?

For instance:

Where did the poison in his body come from?

What was the deal with that large hand in his dream?

Why couldn’t she affect him in his dreams, yet that hand could easily eject her from his dreamscape?

As soon as she got home, An Yan went upstairs and entered her study.

Ever since she saw that hand, she’d felt that the hand in Li Tianyao’s dreams must belong to the villain who had harmed him.

After all, it did what the villain had done to Little Li Tianyao!

But if it was the villain, it would just be a memory.

Memories have no power to attack; the only one who can truly cause harm is oneself!

So, that hand wasn’t the villain, but rather Li Tianyao’s own subconscious!

An Yan clenched the pen in her hand with excitement.

But if that was the case, why did Li Tianyao’s subconscious keep replaying the trauma he had suffered?

Could it be that Li Tianyao didn’t want to forget those terrible past experiences?

Why?

An Yan raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

Subconsciously, she started to speculate using the Divination Technique.

But after several sheets of paper were filled, the result she derived was still...

A void!

An Yan was truly speechless, and she frustratedly slammed the pen down onto the table.

"What use is this technique to me!"

It couldn’t divine anything about Li Tianyao or the thumb ring; what was the use of only being able to divine trivial matters about unimportant people?

She had no intention of becoming some charlatan who relied on the Divination Technique for fortune-telling!

An Yan slumped back into her chair, pinching the thumb ring hanging from her neck and silently staring into the Bai Wu in her mind.

Just then, she suddenly noticed that the thumb ring was emitting a faint luminescence!

An Yan jolted and hurriedly lowered her head to stare at it.
