I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 393 Attempting Trust

"What's bothering you?" Inside the house, Le Chu, who also knew Le Zhi well, asked the same question as Lei Xiu. Even though he hadn't been by Le Zhi's side often these days, through a few short phone calls, Le Chu still keenly sensed that something was wrong with Le Zhi.

Instead of keeping her doubts to herself, Le Chu knew that honesty was the best way to get along with Le Zhi, so she asked without hesitation.

Upon hearing Le Chu's words, Le Zhi's eyelids twitched twice. The inner turmoil he had been experiencing these past few days had finally reached its limit in front of Le Chu. Le Zhi did not answer for a long time, and Le Chu did not urge him. He knew that Le Zhi was hesitating about how to start the conversation, and he was very patient, waiting for Le Zhi to open his heart on his own initiative.

His patience paid off. After hesitating for a while, Lezhi slowly opened his mouth and told Lechu that he had a way to deal with the shadow.

Once Le Chu decided to speak, he no longer hid anything. He had been thinking too much these past two days and desperately needed someone to give him advice, and Le Chu was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

…………

"...I can guarantee that this method has almost no side effects. It's just that the treatment process sounds a bit scary. As for how to do it, it depends on the individual's choice."

"Does the patient have to be conscious during treatment?" The light on the vine petals flickered, and Le Chu's voice came through. There was no surprise or doubt that Le Zhi had expected, only his usual calmness. His matter-of-fact attitude greatly reassured Le Zhi.

This matter had been weighing on his mind for several days, and now he finally decided to speak out. Le Chu's attitude confirmed that his choice was correct.

"Yes, if the patient enters a dormant state, the shadow within his body will hide even deeper, so it is best to treat him while he is awake to prevent future problems."

"Okay, I understand. The biggest problem now is to make the patient fully aware that your treatment methods are harmless and to cooperate as much as possible." However, since Lezhi's treatment methods were indeed somewhat frightening, it was understandable that he hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Having learned the whole story, Le Chu didn't criticize Le Zhi's hesitation. Instead, she immediately began preparing to solve the problem. "Okay, I understand. Cang Ji discussed it with us for several days and has already prepared for the worst. The aquatic tribe should have already made contact. You..."

At this point, Yuechu paused for a moment, a sudden realization dawning on him. Only then did he fully understand why Yuezhi had chosen this moment to tell him this.

"Lezhi,"

"........."

"Don't be afraid. If you're unhappy about anything outside, you can tell me. The Spirit Feather Clan will always be your home, you know that, right?"

"……Um."

No one knows how long he was gone after that one word!

By the Spirit Feather Clan Mother Teng Bian, Le Chuqing clearly heard Le Zhi's answer, and her brows relaxed completely, a relieved smile appearing on her face. "Alright, just do what you think is right from now on. The Clan Chief will always support you."

Originally, he wanted to help Lezhi take the blame, but after this experience, Lechu realized that Lezhi never needed anyone to solve his problems. He had his own way of breaking the deadlock. All Lezhi needed was someone to stand by him, and that was enough.

And Lechu is honored to be the first.

…………

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Ji Lin, the current patriarch of the Han Hai Clan, and Miao Yin, the patriarch of the Huan Yin Clan. This is probably the first time you've met someone from the Huan Yin Clan."

Chong Cangji nodded in response, and Lezhi's gaze shifted to the two outstanding and distinguished clan leaders, "Clan Leader Ji Lin, Clan Leader Miao Yin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Regardless of the purpose of this meeting, playing the innocent first is definitely the right thing to do.

"Lezhi, you're the little brat that Lechu keeps talking about all the time," Ji Lin replied. It was clear that he had tried to tone it down, but his voice was still very loud, as if he were shouting.

"A warrior," Yuezhi muttered, "pursing his lips." This was Yuezhi's first impression of Ji Lin.

Ji Lin was extremely beautiful, with a striking and elegant beauty. His long, fiery red hair cascaded down his body, like flames adorning his black clothing. Before he spoke, others might be captivated by his appearance, finding him imposing and unfathomable. However, the moment he opened his mouth, all of that aura vanished.

His unpolished words and carefree expression, if Lezhi were to offer advice, would be to say, "Please use your face properly, and shut up when appropriate."

Cang Ji and Miao Yin, standing to the side, had expressions of complete indifference, clearly having grown accustomed to Ji Lin's personality, which was so different from his appearance. They had considered asking Ji Lin to tone it down beforehand, but then they thought that he couldn't keep up the act forever. Anyone who knew him well knew what kind of person he was.

It's just a bit embarrassing.

"Uh, if there isn't another person named Lezhi among the tree spirits, then it must be me."

"Hehe, Lezhi, you don't need to pay attention to him. This is our first meeting. Here, this is a gift for you." Miaoyin received Cangji's pleading look, blinked to indicate that she had received it, and then smoothly replied, taking out a large white seashell from her space and handing it to Lezhi.

These clan leaders are really used to giving gifts to children when they meet. Lezhi blinked, recalling the scene when he first met Qinglin and Yuyan. At that time, Uncle Leshan did not stop him from accepting the gifts, so he must be accepting them on purpose now, since he is not yet an adult.

Just consider it a red envelope from an adult.

Having learned from past experiences, Yuezhi accepted the gift from Miaoyin with a clear conscience, returning her a sweet smile, "Thank you, Clan Chief Miaoyin. May I open it and take a look?"

“Of course,” Miaoyin replied with a smile.

Noticing that Lezhi treated him much better than she treated Ji Lin, Miaoyin gave Ji Lin a provocative look.

See? Learn from this: this is what happens when you're too rude.

Seeing Miaoyin scolding him with her face, the one who was scolded touched his nose in embarrassment, wanting to make amends, but after searching his body here and there, he couldn't find anything suitable as a gift. When he left, the people in the clan didn't remind him that he should give a gift when he met the little boy for the first time. Now he was in trouble.

Ji Lin was so anxious under the glaring eyes of the two men that he scratched his head in frustration, while Le Zhi was studying with great interest how to open the gift in front of him. The seashell was the size of his two palms, round and plump, and closed tightly. Le Zhi searched for a long time but couldn't find the right way to open it.

Noticing Lezhi's actions, Miaoyin, who was about to step forward to help, had just raised her hand when Lezhi had already found the trick. When in doubt, he resorted to brute force. Lezhi directly inputted energy into the shell. When he sensed that the energy he input encountered a slight resistance, Lezhi realized that the shell in front of him was actually alive.

Wow, that's interesting!

He had once subdued Cocoa and Mushroom, so he was no longer completely ignorant about how to suppress living beings with energy. In his eyes, plants and animals were the same, at most just with different energy circuits. If the two sides were equal in strength, there might be some friction, but in front of him was just a small seashell, while the other side was Lezhi. That little bit of resistance was like comparing a drop of water to the ocean, completely incomparable.

Once he found the trick, opening the shell was as easy as breathing; it didn't even take a second. His energy had already overwhelmed it, and the shell immediately opened.

The soft flesh inside the shell was covered with lustrous pearls larger than Lezhi's thumb, but these were not gifts; they were merely part of the box's decoration. The real gift was the conch shell, placed squarely in the center of the pearls, shimmering in the light...
