In Zuo Haoran's current situation, the airline will not approve his return to China, so he can only ask the Yasdang family to make arrangements.
Bell Asdang had experienced all the hardships of his first half of life during this period, taking countless painkillers with no effect. Wanting Zuo Haoran to be a test subject, the Asdang family used their energy to send him back to China.
The Zuo family members were all shocked when they saw Zuo Haoran's appearance and could not recognize him at all.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Zuo Baozhu remembered that her grandfather went abroad to dispose of the family's assets abroad. Although she hadn't seen her grandfather for two months, Zuo Baozhu believed her brother because he kept telling her that everything was fine.
Zuo Haoran's voice was like rough sand. "I was asked to remove a curse for a foreign tycoon, but I underestimated the harm of the curse and got caught."
"What curse is so terrible?"
Everyone in the Zuo family showed expressions of fear. Zuo Haoran was a Jindan Grandmaster, and even he couldn't deal with it, let alone ordinary people.
Zuo Haoran said: "It has something to do with the hook."
Zuo Haoran looked at Zuo Baozhu, "Baozhu, I remember Shi Miao liked you very much. Why don't you take grandpa to meet Shi Miao?"
"No one can save me except Shi Miao."
For him to admit that he was inferior to others was a great humiliation for him, who was arrogant, but in the face of reality, Zuo Haoran had to bow his head.
Seeing her grandfather, who had loved her since childhood, become like this, Zuo Baozhu felt both distressed and scared. She nodded quickly and said, "I'll call Shi Miao."
The rest of the Zuo family couldn't help but look at Zuo Baozhu with a hint of envy. Baozhu's luck was just too good. She was a useless person, unable to even cultivate, yet she had her grandfather at home to protect her. Now, even Shi Miao, the number one in the Xuan Sect, treated her differently. How could she have deserved this?
Zuo Baozhu felt the gazes of the others, avoided them, and called Shi Miao. She had just mentioned this when she heard Shi Miao on the other end of the phone say yes.
Just one simple word, but it made Zuo Baozhu feel at ease.
She quickly told her grandfather about this. Shi Miao and she had agreed to meet tomorrow.
Zuo Shaohua said: "I will accompany you then."
Zuo Haoran endured the pain in his body and said, "Just stay home." If he died, at least the Zuo family still had Shaohua. With Shaohua around, even if the Zuo family fell into a slump for a while, it would eventually rise again.
No, before that, Shaohua must even be sent abroad.
Zuo Haoran had made up his mind. For him, the most important thing was himself, and secondly, the future of the Zuo family. He didn't want to become the Zuo family's sinner.
…
Zuo Haoran and Zuo Baozhu went to Shi Miao's villa together.
Just as he stepped into the yard, a flash of lightning appeared in the sky above and rushed towards Zuo Haoran.
Zuo Baozhu's face turned pale, and her voice shrill, "Grandpa!"
If Zuo Haoran were alive and well, he wouldn't have paid much attention to this lightning bolt and could easily remove it. However, during this period of time, he was tormented by the illness brought by the hook, and there was not a single bit of magic power in his body, so he couldn't even protect himself.
Just as the lightning was about to strike him, it was dissipated by a flash of sword light.
Yu Wang walked out of the house and looked at Zuo Haoran with a cold expression, "Old Zuo, you are really very kind. You asked my master for something, but you also harbored evil intentions towards her."
"My master set up a formation in this yard a long time ago. Anyone who harbors ill intentions towards us will be struck by lightning if they enter the yard."
"You're begging my master for help while trying to harm him. You're the ungrateful wolf I'm talking about."
Zuo Baozhu was stunned and stammered, "Mr. Yu, is there some misunderstanding?"
Yu Wang said with certainty, "There has never been a mistake in this formation."
According to Master, the formation was designed to target the murderous intent and ill will within a person. Yu Wang, now a Qi Refining cultivator, still couldn't set it up. He estimated that one would need to be at least a Golden Core to be able to do it. The longer he stayed with Master, the more he felt her strength was unfathomable.
Zuo Haoran said, "If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. If you don't want to punish him, just say so."
Yu Wang was not easily provoked. He said in a deep voice, "Since you say you have no ill will towards us, do you dare to swear?"
"Come, swear on this oath chain. If you have any ill intentions towards us, your soul will be shattered and you will never be reborn."
He pulled out a lock. It wasn't a physical object, but a ball of black and white light. Just looking at it made him feel as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand. This oath lock was a magical weapon Shi Miao had given to Yu Wang, saying it would allow him to constantly comprehend the true meaning of the Dao within, which would benefit his cultivation.
As a Jindan Grandmaster, Zuo Haoran, even with his current mana depleted, could keenly sense the true meaning of the Great Dao emanating from this lock. His eyes nearly flushed with jealousy. The Zuo family didn't even possess such a magical weapon, yet Shi Miao could freely gift it to her disciples. What kind of inheritance had she inherited?
Zuo Haoran knew that if he really swore, he would probably die on the spot.
"Grandpa, I swear!" In Zuo Baozhu's mind, Grandpa was still a very majestic figure. She thought Grandpa was just too embarrassed to do so. As a junior, it was nothing for her to swear.
"I, Zuo Baozhu, swear here that if Grandpa and I do anything to Shi Miao..."
Before she could finish her words, Zuo Haoran's face changed drastically and he interrupted her, "Shut up! Who asked you to swear?"
I was almost tricked to death by this stupid granddaughter. Zuo Haoran regretted raising his granddaughter to be so innocent and simple.
Zuo Baozhu reacted and looked at Zuo Haoran in disbelief, "Grandpa, do you really want to harm Sister Shi Miao?"
