Han Li didn't immediately agree or refuse, but furrowed his brows in contemplation, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
To be honest, Han Li wasn't inclined to agree to this matter.
Because both array formations and refining techniques were of little use to him at his current stage. Unless he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, he wouldn't have the time to research these things. Moreover, he didn't want to unnecessarily provoke a powerful cultivation family, especially when he lacked the capability to deal with them.
"I understand that this request is quite unreasonable for Senior Han, but I have no other choice," Xin Ruyin said with a bitter smile, her face turning pale.
"The reason why Brother Qi died at the hands of the Fu Family was because of my actions. If I don't seek revenge for my husband in this life, I won't have the face to meet him even in the afterlife!" Xin Ruyin murmured with a pleading tone.
When Han Li heard the word "death" from her, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, suddenly remembering something, and he stared intently at Xin Ruyin's face. This caught Xin Ruyin off guard.
"Your complexion doesn't look right. Let me check your pulse!"
Han Li unexpectedly said something that surprised Xin Ruyin, but his voice carried an unquestionable tone.
Xin Ruyin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, hesitated for a moment, but still obediently extended her jade wrist to Han Li.
Han Li placed two fingers on her wrist without hesitation, then infused a thread of spiritual energy into her body.
After a while, Han Li's expression turned somewhat grim.
"Do you know that all your meridians are withered? At this rate, you'll die within two years!" After retracting his fingers, Han Li said coldly.
Upon hearing Han Li's diagnosis, Xin Ruyin smiled.
"Of course I know. Do you think I'm unaware of my own body? My constitution is the Dragon's Cry, born male but turned into a female body. If I forcefully cultivate, my lifespan and meridians will gradually deteriorate. Being able to live until today is already a miracle. I once thought I had found an ancient prescription that could cure this condition, but it ended in failure. I wasted many precious spirit medicines that Brother Qi had worked hard to find for me!"
Xin Ruyin's face showed a self-deprecating expression.
"Miss!" Xin Ruyin's maid couldn't help but cry out in distress.
"It's okay, Xiaomei! It's better to meet Brother Qi sooner in the afterlife. I couldn't ask for more!" Xin Ruyin comforted her maid with a calm expression.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's expression softened, and for some reason, he felt a sense of pity for her.
But unfortunately, Han Li was equally helpless in the face of Xin Ruyin's strange condition, and could only watch as she deteriorated over time.
"Now that Senior Han knows about this matter, you should understand why I did this. Although Senior is currently only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you are the only person I and Brother Qi know who might help us seek revenge. I don't need Senior to make any vows, just a promise, so that I can leave with peace of mind." Xin Ruyin regained her composure and casually brought up the revenge matter again as if nothing had happened.
After pondering for a long time, Han Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I can make a promise to Miss Xin! However, I will only take action when I have the ability. This opportunity may not come again in a lifetime. Do you have any regrets?"
