What identity does the old man hold?
There were quite a few candidates within the Li family who matched the age profile, even including a handful of elders with authority.
However, Qing Chen knew that, given Uncle Li Dong's character, he would only confide his secrets to those he trusted most.
Before his long journey, Uncle Li Dong had arranged everything for Qing Chen, waiting for the young man to gradually unveil the world.
Thus, Qing Chen already had an answer in mind regarding the old man's identity.
Yet, the old man did not disclose Qing Chen's secret, and Qing Chen did not unmask the old man either; the two shared a knowing smile as if by some silent agreement.
Qing Chen thought for a moment and asked, "So when the Ancestor of Knight handed over the Heartless Bronze Bell, was there an agreement that one day it should be returned to its original owner?"
