The territory was too large, too powerful to be controlled, and difficult to manage. So the Star Kingdom selected outstanding talents and sent them to various countries to serve as connecting hubs, and friends around them also left.
The doctor said Zhuang Yifan's condition was not serious and prescribed topical medication.
In the car, Yan Shi applied medicine to Zhuang Yifan, blowing on it as he applied it, showing extreme care, which made Zhuang Zhao feel envious.
The old man had a kind face; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a trip involving three generations of a family.
It is said that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. Yan Shi dared not take the old man home. There was a pavilion in the community, and a group of people sat in the pavilion and chatted.
"Let's get straight to the point. Master, you spoke of the master-disciple relationship. What can you teach me, and what does the disciple need to do?"
"As for marriage prospects, as for what needs to be done, just find a destined person to inherit the tradition, and also remember the rules of the sect and do not violate them."
Yan Shi's face clearly showed "I don't believe it." The old man pulled out a palm-sized wooden Bagua plate and a tattered book, "The Divine Calculation Manual," from his bundle.
"Is this for divination?" Yan Shi asked, pointing to the miniature Bagua diagram.
"This is the sect's badge. All disciples have it to prevent anyone from impersonating it."
"There are people impersonating him?"
"Of course there are. Just a little bit is enough to swindle and cheat, and freeload off others."
"Is it easy to learn?"
"It depends on talent. Some people can grasp it immediately, while others can simply recite from the book. This book is the core of our sect, so you need to memorize it thoroughly."
"You just gave it to me like that?" Yan Shi thought it was too easy.
"Of course, any problems with the people I choose are my problems too," the old man said confidently.
"Do I need to become an apprentice or anything like that?"
"I've already eaten the apprenticeship meal. You can memorize this for now. I'll come back in seven days to check on you. If you fail the check, you'll be punished." The old man stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait, should I call you Master or Teacher? How do I find you?"
"I will appear when it is my turn."
"Can I show this book to others?"
"The rules of the sect are at the back of the book. Read the rules of the sect first."
The old man walked away, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Yan Shi found him increasingly mysterious and unpredictable.
"Although it came about in an outrageous way, I'm starting to believe it. Could this be a new brainwashing tactic?"
He said someone impersonated him, which means they are quite famous. Let's find out more about it.
“Okay, what he said is indeed very mysterious. Nobody knows about the missing necklace unless it’s related to him.”
"If you're going to use a counter-strategy, you'll definitely give yourself away if you have ulterior motives."
Yan Shi put aside her doubts for a moment. Zhuang Yifan had fallen asleep on Zhuang Zhao's lap. Yan Shi looked at his hand and saw that the swelling had gone down a lot. He must be feeling less uncomfortable since he could fall asleep.
"Children really bring surprises to life." The two carried Zhuang Yifan upstairs. Even though they had only been gone for half a day, it felt like they had been gone for a long time.
The doctor said Zhuang Yifan's condition was not serious and prescribed topical medication.

Su Cha sensed Gu Hang's change and knew that his fangs had finally been extended towards her. Although this was the result she wanted, tears still rolled down her cheeks. She didn't know if it was the joy of achieving her goal or the natural reaction to the pain.
Even if this was the outcome Su Cha desired, she wouldn't let the out-of-control Gu Hang do as he pleased. After all, she wanted to become Gu Hang's confidant, not die at his hands. Therefore, she had already used her abilities to protect the major arteries near her neck, and the cuts were made near veins, far from the arteries.
Gu Hang regained his rationality two minutes after the fangs pierced Su Cha's blood vessels. In those two minutes, he experienced the greatest happiness in the world, reaching a peak of clarity, and his long-suppressed rationality regained control of his body.
Gu Hang opened his eyes, his bloodshot from excitement, staring intently at Su Cha, as if afraid she had stopped breathing.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Tears were still visible on Su Cha's pale face. He couldn't look Su Cha in the eye, so he could only say sorry while stopping Su Cha's bleeding, over and over again.
Su Cha's self-healing ability has now reached its peak. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Hang's fangs contain components that prevent blood clotting, it would have healed long ago.
"It's okay, don't worry about it."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself, I'm sorry..." Gu Hang repeated his apologies as he bandaged Su Cha's wound. The wound had not yet completely stopped bleeding, and the blood was slowly flowing out, soaking through layers of gauze, which was a shocking sight for Gu Hang.
He was more worried about other things. This time, unlike before when he drank blood, those bitten by vampire fangs would become familiars if they didn't die.
On her journey, Yan Shi encountered an old man who claimed she possessed extraordinary talent and insisted on taking her as his apprentice. Yan Shi initially dismissed him as a charlatan fortune teller and didn't want to engage, but to her surprise, his casual predictions proved remarkably accurate, forcing her to believe the old man possessed some supernatural abilities. The old man taught Yan Shi a method of fortune telling using finger counting, specializing in predicting marriage, and explained the rules of his sect, thus eliminating any taboos associated with fortune telling. Yan Shi, having nothing better to do, experimented on those around her, but she wasn't sure how accurate her predictions would be in the short term.
Foreign aggression, the demeanor of a great power, the invaders fled in disarray and war broke out everywhere, small countries sought out powerful backers, the Star Nation grew stronger, and in the face of provocation and coercion from Japan, it took the initiative to attack, conscripting soldiers and marching into the country.
Having witnessed the sorrows of humanity, Yan Shi realized that she was different from most people. She could not accept war, so she left the army and, as a wanderer, searched for the world she wanted, the Peach Blossom Spring.
The couple adopted a foreign child who had lost his family in the war, and in the process, they also helped dozens of other children. The war finally ended, and the couple were able to return to their homeland.
