"Grandpa, are you okay?"
When Zuo Haoran woke up, he found himself in bed. He tried to mobilize his magic power - his magic power was very weak at the moment, and the slightest movement would cause severe pain all over his body.
This time the internal injuries are much more serious than before.
He looked up at Zuo Baozhu who was guarding his bed. Zuo Baozhu's expression was filled with concern and worry for him. "How long have I been unconscious?"
Zuo Baozhu said, "It's been three days. We were almost scared to death. Fortunately, Shi Miao sent you a piece of ice epiphyllum this morning. You finally woke up after taking it."
Although Zuo Baozhu couldn't cultivate, her favored status at home meant she received instruction in metaphysics from her brothers. She knew the value of the Ice Epiphyllum, a sacred healing relic. Shi Miao had no connections with their family, yet he gifted her the gift. Her idol was truly kind and compassionate.
Zuo Haoran looked at the gratitude and admiration on his granddaughter's face that was almost turning into reality, and he felt like vomiting blood again.
He was injured like this because of Shi Miao. But he turned around and owed Shi Miao a favor. If he dared to go against Shi Miao in the future, people would secretly say that he was ungrateful.
Seeing that Grandpa looked okay, Zuo Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also in the mood to gossip. "Grandpa, I heard that the rainstorm that swept the whole city three days ago was because of Shi Miao. Is that true?"
Zuo Haoran nodded with difficulty. He really didn't want to hear about Shi Miao anymore, so he changed the subject, "How has our family been these days?"
Zuo Baozhu sniffed, her expression turning gloomy. "My eldest uncle and second uncle were both taken away... They were suspected of stealing and secretly storing dragon bones."
She had never imagined that her great-uncle and her eldest uncle were such morally corrupt people. Furthermore, the reason Grandpa was so badly injured this time was because the two elders had secretly used dragon bones to set up a formation to help Grandpa win, but ended up badly hurting Grandpa.
Zuo Haoran knew that Shaohua had orchestrated this, and he had given the order. His younger brother and eldest son had taken the blame to protect him and Shaohua. The secret possession of the dragon bones involved too many implications, and the Zuo family couldn't settle the matter without sacrificing several of their own. After the successive incidents involving spies and dragon bones, the Zuo family had likely lost their credibility with the higher-ups. It was time to relocate all domestic assets abroad.
He looked at his granddaughter, Zuo Baozhu, who obviously had a liking for Shi Miao, and her arms were bent outwards quite a bit.
He had put so much effort into it, yet he was only a Golden Core Grandmaster, while Shi Miao had already become the legendary Yuanshen Zhenren. The Zuo family hadn't produced a Yuanshen Zhenren in hundreds of years. How could he fight Shi Miao?
His eyes fell on Zuo Baozhu...
Perhaps he should use the fate of the orb directly. Simply letting the orb bear the backlash was not enough, the dragon vein was obviously not yet completely subservient to him.
"grandfather."
Zuo Baozhu saw that her grandfather was in a daze again while talking, so she quickly called out to him.
Zuo Haoran coughed several times and said, "It's nothing. Grandpa needs to rest well and recuperate during this period. If you are fine, please stay with Grandpa more."
Zuo Baozhu nodded obediently, "I will."
…
The news that Shi Miao had become a Yuanshen Zhenren slowly spread among the Xuanmen, and many people wanted to visit him. However, for a period of time, Shi Miao stayed indoors on the pretext of consolidating his cultivation and also declined visits from the outside world.
Despite this, news about the Zuo family continued to reach her ears.
For example, the Zuo family's hotel chain was found to have fire safety issues and was fined and required to make corrections. Also, Zuo Baozhu fell seriously ill during the Chinese New Year. Zuo Haoran loved his granddaughter very much and used all kinds of expensive medicinal herbs on her. However, Zuo Baozhu's illness was particularly severe this time and she was bedridden for a long time.
Shi Miao had a good impression of Zuo Baozhu, the girl who was the reincarnation of a dragon soul, so she went to visit her.
Shi Miao's identity was clear, so Zuo Haoran came out to meet him in person.
"I went to the Wenshimen Sect a few days ago to ask for some medicinal pills. Baozhu is much better now. I'm sorry to bother you to come here for her."
Shi Miao's eyes fell on Zuo Haoran. Compared to the last time they met, Zuo Haoran looked much better. Originally, his injury would not heal for at least half a year.
Looking at him again, although he covered it up very well, the dragon energy still leaked out involuntarily... Looking at his face again, there was nothing Shi Miao didn't understand.
Zuo Haoran exchanged his own fate with that of his granddaughter Zuo Baozhu. It was worth it that Shi Miao specially stimulated Zuo Haoran after he was promoted to the Yuanshen.
This world is entering the Age of Dharma Decline, and the laws of heaven and earth inherently suppress cultivation. Zuo Baozhu, the reincarnation of a dragon soul, is also subject to this repression. The stronger she becomes, the more severe the repression. For years, Zuo Haoran had not allowed her to cultivate, but had inadvertently helped her, preventing her from falling into ruin. Now, Zuo Haoran had consciously accepted her fate. Freed from this constraint, she could embark on her cultivation path with peace of mind, grasping the last glimmer of hope.
Zuo Haoran thought Zuo Baozhu's fate was like honey, but he didn't know it contained deadly arsenic. With this fate, he could better nourish the dragon vein in his body.
Very good, the dragon vein has been almost nurtured.
Zuo Haoran took Shi Miao to see Zuo Baozhu, who was very surprised to see Shi Miao. She didn't expect that Shi Miao, who hadn't appeared in public even during the Chinese New Year, would come to see her specially.
Is her card so big?
I'm so flattered.
Shi Miao touched her forehead. Zuo Baozhu was still running a low-grade fever. She had become weak because her destiny had been suddenly taken away.
