Hua Xiangyun couldn't even imagine how Zhan Xiang, whose eyes were destroyed and who was accompanied by his mentally challenged senior brother, could survive in this world.
"After all, my grandfather saved his life, and he would keep an eye on things for many years."
When the news arrived, my grandfather rushed over with me and managed to avenge him, but he refused to leave with us no matter what.
The only good news was that his senior brother, stimulated by this incident, actually regained his senses.
Although he had lived a muddled life all these years, he knew that he had been able to live so long because Zhan Xiang had never abandoned him.
In the days that followed, he took on the task of caring for the war minister. The two of them acted as each other's eyes and minds, and despite their ups and downs, they managed to get by.
We need to be careful about what we've encountered this time. After thinking it over, I think only those two brothers can be entrusted with this task.
Just as I expected, they replied to the telegram. Knowing that person's personality, they should already be on the train by now.
Hua Xiangyun understood why her master had said those words to her. "Are you trying to prepare me mentally?"
Wu Chenxi nodded, "Those people were ruthless back then. They not only ruined his eyes, but also his appearance. I can't control others, but you can't show any abnormality."
Although he is blind, he is very sensitive.
Hua Xiangyun: "What about the other martial uncle?"
"You don't need to call him Uncle-Master. The past has hurt him too much. Once he regains his senses, he will expel himself and leave the sect. He will refer to himself as the elder brother of the War Master. You can just call him Uncle-Master Zhan."
As for his name, it has been forgotten by everyone; even I don't know it.
Hua Xiangyun: "Should I ask for leave and pick you up at the station?"
Wu Chenxi replied, "No need for that. I'll be staying in the city these days and keeping watch at the train station."
Since she was the one who invited them, it was only right that she received them; she wouldn't forget the proper etiquette.
“Master, since Uncle Zhan is skilled in feng shui, he must also have studied formations, right?”
Wu Chenxi said, "His master felt guilty and, knowing they were going back to continue guarding the mountain gate, handed over the sect's legacy to him. It was the last right thing he did. After that, the master and his disciples never appeared in front of everyone again, probably because they were in grave danger. Your Uncle Zhan has helped him establish this sect."
He was quite knowledgeable about feng shui, but since he hadn't received personal instruction, he didn't fully understand many things. My grandfather and I often corresponded with him, helping him clarify his doubts to some extent.
In fact, the Wu family had saved his life and taught him, which is why Wu Chenxi chose him.
"Don't underestimate your Uncle Zhan. Although his eyes are blind, his skills are only stronger. If he can give you some pointers, you will benefit immensely."
Hua Xiangyun was overjoyed. "Is that alright?"
Wu Chenxi said confidently, "I can't guarantee anything for anyone else, but you are my apprentice."
Hua Xiangyun was now somewhat looking forward to it. As for her uncle's disfigured face, it was nothing to them as sorcerers. After all, it was just a physical body. They were not afraid of the miserable appearance of other souls, so why would they care about such things?
Master is just worried and confused. It seems he really treats the other party like a brother and can't bear to see him suffer the slightest grievance. It seems he should be even more respectful to his martial uncle.

Xun Liangfen stood by the roadside with a dark expression, surrounded by a mountain of luggage.
"How do we move all this back now?"
Hua Zhian was also full of regret. Yesterday, Xun Liangfen came back and said she wanted to go home together, which stunned him. For a moment, he didn't even think about sending a telegram.
The fact that no telegram was sent means no one is coming to pick him up. With so much stuff, it would take him half an hour to carry it back and back.
Under the gazes of the two women, he could only move his things under a big tree by the roadside. "Let's wait here for now. I'll go back and get a bicycle."
Without prior notice, my older brother must have gone to work. We can't expect the old man to come and do all this hard labor.
Xun Liangfen originally wanted Xie Lanqiao to go back with her, so that she could carry more things. However, she felt a little guilty about guarding so many things by herself, so she urged Hua Zhian to go and come back quickly. If they waited any longer, the midday sun would be blazing, and even big trees could not block the heat.
Hua Zhian didn't dare to delay. He grabbed a suitcase and ran. He had been watching Xun Liangfen's expression all the way, and now he finally had a chance to leave.
When he got home, he found the front door locked. It was only thanks to the kindness of his neighbor that he learned that Tian Guihua had gone out to buy groceries and that her grandfather had gone out to fish.
There were people at home. His sister-in-law was at home recovering from childbirth. The door was locked from the outside because Zhou Xiaolan's incident had frightened the Hua family. They were afraid that if they weren't home, someone else might sneak in and disturb the mother and child.
Hua Zhian took the bag off his back and placed it by the door, knowing that the old lady was going to buy groceries and wouldn't be gone for long.
It's just a bit strange, it seems my sister-in-law's due date hasn't arrived yet, so how did she give birth to the baby?
"You don't know yet, do you..."
His question was quickly answered by a kind neighbor, Bai Zhaodi, who recounted the events of that day in a dramatic and vivid manner, leaving the elderly neighbor stunned. With such eloquence, it was truly a waste that she didn't become a storyteller.
Tian Guihua suddenly remembered that she needed to stew fish at home and was missing a piece of tofu, so she went out to buy some. Before Bai Zhaodi could even finish speaking, she was already home.
Seeing someone blocking her doorway again from afar, Tian Guihua took off running, worried that they might be causing trouble at her door again.
"Tian Guihua, you're finally back! Your Zhian is back, but he can't even get into the house." Liu Tiezhu greeted him with a smile, holding a teapot. "If you ask me, with us old neighbors watching over you, there's no need for you to go through all this trouble."
"If anyone's too foolish enough to come and cause trouble at your place, then we old folks will just forcibly throw them out."
Upon hearing that it was family, Tian Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them repeatedly, saying, "I was also frightened. I always feel uneasy leaving the house unlocked."
Liu Tiezhu and the others could understand. Anyone would be scared in this situation. It was only because Li Lijuan was lucky that she and her unborn child survived. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Now you can rest assured. But if we remember correctly, Zhi'an went to the girl's family to propose marriage, right? Does that mean you're going to have several weddings in a row?" Liu Tiezhu was a little surprised to see Zhi'an come back alone. Could it be that the wedding had fallen through?
The neighbors nearby also looked at Tian Guihua with gossip, trying to glean clues from her face.
Tian Guihua, “…” Here we go again. These people are gossiping again, forgetting that she is usually one of them, enjoying the show just as much as anyone else.
