"Nephew!" Old Zhuang stepped forward and shook Liao Qingshan's hand. "How many years have we not seen each other? Are you okay?"

Liao Qingshan hugged him tightly and said, "Uncle Master, it's been forty years. We haven't seen each other for forty years. I'm doing well. How about you?"

"I'm doing fine too." Old Zhuang patted Liao Qingshan on the back. "Not bad, you're in good shape!"

Liao Qingshan felt that he was not in good health, so he pulled him under the light and looked at his face. He frowned and asked, "Uncle Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhuang Lao shook his head, signaling him to be silent, "Why don't you show your uncle around your house?"

"Okay, Uncle Master, this way please."

Let them reminisce about the past while Li Xiyue went to the kitchen to add more dishes.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork, plus two dishes and a soup made by Liao Qingshan, is enough for four people.

Sit around the table, pour some good wine, and drink happily.

"Uncle-master, I haven't seen you for many years. I'd like to offer you a toast." Liao Qingshan was really happy. He didn't expect that he would be able to see this relative whom he hadn't seen for many years in his lifetime.

Mr. Zhuang was also very happy. "How can one cup be enough? Tonight, uncle and nephew will not stop drinking until they are drunk."

"Okay, let's not stop until we're drunk!" Liao Qingshan clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhuang Le and Li Xiyue were also drinking, chatting and laughing, it was very lively.

Xiaobai crawled at Li Xiyue's feet, wagging its tail from time to time, as if it was joining in their fun.

After three rounds of drinks, the two old men were a little drunk. They talked about the past and were deeply moved.

"Uncle master, we have been separated for many years. This time we finally get together. You must stay with me for a while. The west wing is empty. You and Lele can live here. This will be your home." Liao Qingshan said.

Old Zhuang put his arm around his shoulders and said, "I've been wandering for half my life. Now that I'm old, it's time to stop and rest. My apprentice grew up in the countryside and has a rough temper. It's time for him to learn the ways of the big city. It would be best if he could find a good husband and settle down."

"She's not an apprentice, she's a granddaughter." Zhuang Le had almost finished drinking, his face flushed, but he didn't forget to correct her.

Old Zhuang glanced at her and continued, "Nephew, the granddaughter you have raised is so polite and dignified. Her demeanor is just like that of a lady from a scholarly family. Please help me teach this wild apprentice of mine well in the future."

Wild apprentice?

Xiaobai raised his head, finally there were people of the same kind.

"No way." Liao Qingshan said modestly, but his expression was very proud. "My girl is just pretending to be well-behaved in front of others, but who knows how wild she is behind the scenes."

Zhuang Le and Li Xiyue looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Uncle master, where have you been all these years?" Liao Qingshan filled his glass with wine and gave him several pieces of meat before continuing to ask.

Holding his wine glass, Mr. Zhuang recalled, "After my master passed away, I left the Liao family and spent the past ten years wandering around. If I met someone I was destined to meet, I would treat their illness. If I found a place I liked, I would stay there for a while.

More than 20 years ago, I came to Beijing once and met this girl. I later took her to Yunnan Province and lived there for the past few years.

Li Xiyue asked, "Sister Zhuang Le is from Beijing?"

"That's right." Old Zhuang took a sip of wine. "When I met her, she was still an infant. Her cruel family abandoned her on the street, and a seriously ill boy picked her up..."

"Old man, why are you saying this?" Zhuang Le interrupted him. "I don't have any other family. You are my only family, right? Oh no, there are two more now."

Zhuang Lao sighed, "If I could see you find your family before I die, I would be at peace."

"Old man!" Zhuang Le's face darkened. "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't support you in your old age anymore and will leave you a lonely old man!"

Zhuang Lao was not afraid of her threats, "I have a nephew, I don't rely on you!"

Zhuang Le said angrily, "How can a nephew be closer than a granddaughter? You must rely on me."

"Okay, okay, you're awesome, okay?" Mr. Zhuang was too lazy to argue with her.

Liao Qingshan and Li Xiyue looked at each other and hurriedly coaxed the master and disciple respectively.

The meal lasted until midnight and both the guests and the hosts were very happy.

Liao Qingshan and Li Xiyue sent the drunk Mr. Zhuang back to the house.

Zhuang Le was also drunk, but he refused to be helped. He stumbled into the house by himself, climbed onto the bed and fell asleep, even... snoring.

Li Xiyue: "..."

Bai is so beautiful, and her personality is just like a man.

Li Xiyue covered her with a quilt, went out, and into the yard. She heard Mr. Zhuang talking to Liao Qingshan.

"Nephew, if you can help my girl find her family, I will die with my eyes closed."

"Uncle Master, please don't say such unlucky words. You will surely live a long life."

"I use witchcraft to change the fate of others, shortening countless lives. I don't have much time left. This is my only wish..."

Li Xiyue's heart tightened.

Zhuang Le, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes and a line of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

Liao Qingshan came out of the house and saw his granddaughter still waiting in the yard. He quickly said, "Yueyue, you have to go to work tomorrow, why don't you go to bed?"

"Grandpa, my great-uncle..."

Liao Qingshan sighed and motioned her to go inside and talk.

"Witchcraft is said to be able to snatch people from the hands of the King of Hell, but it is also against the will of Heaven. Everyone's lifespan is predetermined and cannot be arbitrarily interfered with or changed. My uncle is kind-hearted, and I'm afraid he has done many things against the will of Heaven over the years, which has shortened his lifespan.

When I first saw him, I could tell that his face was not right. After a closer look, I found out that he didn't have much time left. He didn't let me tell him because he was afraid that Lele would worry.

Alas, I never thought that after not seeing each other for so many years, we would meet again and…"

Li Xiyue was also feeling a little heavy-hearted, but she didn't want her grandfather to be too sad, so she quickly advised, "Grandpa, don't worry too much. It's too late. Go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."

"Okay, Yueyue, you should go to bed early too."

Li Xiyue returned to her room, went into the space to take a hot bath, and then lay down in bed.

Thinking about my great-grandmaster, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time. I only fell asleep for a while when it was almost dawn.

Fortunately, she drinks spiritual spring water all year round, so she doesn't look tired even after just a short nap.

She got up and made breakfast, but after they finished eating, the three of them still hadn't gotten up. Li Xiyue had no choice but to leave the breakfast warm in the pot, left a note, and went out to work first.

When she walked out the door and passed by Lu Feng's house, she saw Lu Feng coming out as well. She was surprised and asked, "Brother Lu, did you stay here last night?"

This is just one of Lu Feng's houses. He has houses in other places and he rarely lives here.

"Yes, there wasn't much to do last night, so I came back early. Did you have any guests at home? It seemed very lively." Lu Feng stood in the wind, and the wind blew his clothes.

Magnificent.

Li Xiyue smiled and said, "I found my grandfather's long-lost uncle. He brought his female apprentice to my house. I guess he will live here for a long time... Sorry for disturbing your rest."

"No." Lu Feng shook his head, smiling gently, "It's lively with a lot of people, I like lively places."
