Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 172: The Master of Gentle Breeze and Bright Moon

The night was as dark as ink, in Courtyard Ding-Qi.

Su Ming did not return to his own eastern side room. Instead, he walked to the door of the South Room and knocked gently.

The door creaked open, revealing Li Kai's silent face.

His room was still piled high with various discarded formation plate components. The air carried a peculiar smell, a mix of metal and spirit stone powder.

"Senior Brother Li," Su Ming got straight to the point.

Li Kai didn't speak, merely looking at him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Su Ming met his gaze frankly, his tone sincere.

"Senior Brother Li, to be honest with you, with the Repair Hall newly established, I originally intended to invite you to join."

"However... as you've seen, the hall has too many rules and regulations, and the work is all trivial mending and patching. I've thought it over and feel such an environment is truly too small, likely to restrict your movements and hinder your future prospects."

"After the Repair Hall is properly established and we need to delve into more advanced formations in the future, I will come to formally invite you then. What do you think?"These words were half-truth, half-falsehood.

Both an excuse and a probe.

Both Lin Yu and Su Ming judged that this Li Kai was like a hidden dragon in the abyss, his temperament unpredictable. The small Repair Hall truly couldn't contain him. Forcibly recruiting him would be unpredictable in terms of fortune or misfortune. It was better to treat him with courtesy and watch how things developed.

Li Kai looked at Su Ming in silence, his deep eyes seemingly able to see through a person's heart.

The oil lamp inside the room cast a dim, yellowish light, making the shallow scar on his face flicker between light and shadow.
