After a brief silence, Chen Zangfeng's face suddenly became serious, and he warned: "Shen'er, the Panlong Blood Jade matter is of great significance! Apart from grandpa and me, you can only tell your second uncle at most. Do you understand?"
Chen Shen nodded vigorously and asked, "Has my second uncle's leg recovered?"
Chen Zangfeng was stunned for a moment, then sighed with dim eyes: "Alas! No..."
"After that battle, your second uncle was the only survivor among the direct descendants of my Chen family. Although he saved his life, the poison in his legs caused nerve necrosis. I'm afraid there is no possibility of recovery.
Already..."
Hearing this, Chen Shen suddenly felt a touch of solemnity and regret in his heart.
In his memory, since the bad news that he was born stupid was confirmed, apart from his grandfather Chen Zangfeng, only the second uncle Chen Xiaohai in the Chen family has sincerely cared about him and loved him.
It's a pity that after that battle, Chen Xiaohai's legs were necrotic, and 90% of his Xuan Gong was lost. His status in the family was not much better than that of the good-for-nothing young master Chen Shen. Even if he wanted to protect his nephew,
In most cases, there is more than enough effort but not enough power...
Even so, Chen Shen is still grateful.
"Old man, my grandson is now also a Xuanjing alchemist. Maybe he can help his second uncle get out of his misery?" the young man said suddenly.
"This...that's all, you might as well try it! Even if you don't succeed, don't blame yourself. After all, your second uncle will appreciate it."
Chen Shen bowed again and went out.
After talking to the old man, it was already late at night.
Different from the Xue Mansion in Kowloon City, Chen Shen was walking in the General's Mansion late at night, but he didn't even see a patrolling guard.
Because this is the general's palace in the imperial capital. Even if there is no night guard, those thieves will definitely not dare to come here to run wild unless they have trouble with their own heads.
Relying on Chen Shen's memory, he wandered through the mansion with many houses, and finally came to a remote and inconspicuous small pavilion.
The place was dusty, with spider webs covering many places, and there was not even a servant to clean it. Chen Shen knew that this was done deliberately by his second uncle Chen Xiaohai out of frustration.
Fourteen years ago, he was the one who drove away all the servants. Except for the meals that would be brought to him, or when Chen Zangfeng occasionally came to chat with him, the rest of the time, the only people in the entire Dongjiao Pavilion were
Chen Xiaohai lives alone.
"Dong dong dong!"
The young man knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time, no one answered.
Chen Shen knocked several more times before a cold and emotionless voice came from inside: "The door is unlocked, come in by yourself."
"Creak..."
Pushing open the door, Chen Shen stepped in. The room was completely dark, and not even a candlestick was lit. The young man asked in confusion: "Second uncle? I am Chen Shen, and I'm back!"
"Shen'er?" The originally cold and low voice suddenly became filled with a hint of surprise.
Immediately, there was a sound of wind, and the candlestick on the table was lit by a burst of fire-based mysterious energy, and the soft orange-red light lit up the dark cabin.
Chen Shen took a few hurried steps around the screen, and a wheelchair appeared in front of him.
In the wheelchair was a thin man in his forties. He was sitting there half leaning, with a thick blanket covering his knees.
The thin man's cloudy eyes were looking at the young man in front of him with joy.
The eyebrows are like swords, the bridge of the nose is high, and a thick beard has grown on the chin and cheeks. It is probably caused by being unkempt for a long time.
Anyone who sees this picture at first sight will not associate him with the Chen family major general who once commanded thousands of troops and controlled everything.
But in Chen Shen's memory, he clearly knew that the lean and scruffy young man in front of him was his father's younger brother, a powerful Xuan Master who was a powerful figure in the Great Xia Kingdom fourteen years ago and had a high prestige in the army!
The young man looked carefully and saw that although the second uncle looked sloppy and indifferent on the surface, his eyes were still fierce!
This shows that his strong heart has never died!
"Shen'er, come and let Uncle Wei take a look... Well, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I feel much more energetic! Hahaha..."
After saying these words, Chen Xiaohai suddenly changed the topic: "Huh? Wait...haven't you been expelled from the family? No, drive away, get out of here quickly! If you return to the imperial capital in violation of the clan order,
If those elders catch you, you will be in trouble! Uncle Wei may not be able to protect you now!"
Hearing this, the young man's heart suddenly warmed up.
The second uncle is like this, no matter what time, he always thinks of himself! Even if he was a mentally retarded waste, Chen Xiaohai would still protect him as always...
Chen Shen bowed deeply to the man in the wheelchair: "Second uncle! Don't worry, my nephew is no longer the good-for-nothing he used to be! In this Hundred Schools League, I won both the top prize in the battle hall and the top prize in the war hall.
In the name of Dantang Tanhua, even the King of Heaven and I can’t stop you from returning to the imperial capital this time!”
Chen Xiaohai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Oh my, you brat, have you made another stupid mistake?"
After saying that, he turned the wooden wheel by himself, and walked towards the door while urging: "Good nephew, listen to my second uncle, you stay here honestly. I'll go find your grandpa to see if I can
I will send you back to Kowloon City safely without disturbing others..."
"Well... from an idiot to a genius, this change is really incredible. It's no wonder that my second uncle doesn't believe it. It seems that I have to provide evidence!"
Thinking of this, Chen Shen released the power of Xuan Qi without any restraint, and traces of thunder energy traveled around his body with majestic momentum.
Chen Xiaohai's hand shaking the wheelchair couldn't help but tremble, and he turned back dullly. After a long while, he trembled his lips and said: "Shen'er, I haven't seen you in just a few months, you...your profound energy cultivation has soared to a level
Xingxuanshi?"
The young man chuckled and said: "You are a guaranteed one-star Xuanshi! Now you should believe that I won the top prize in the battle hall, right? As for the alchemy... How about I give you a live demonstration of alchemy, nephew?"
"
"No need! Hahahaha... Shen'er has made his mark! Brother Tian is alive in heaven, and he will definitely be overjoyed!" The second uncle laughed excitedly.
Then, Chen Xiaohai couldn't help but ask some questions about Chen Shen's fate after he was sent to Kowloon City.
The young man had been prepared for this, and he used the excuse he had told his grandfather before. In short, he pushed everything towards the "Dragon-Slaying God in the Panlong Blood Jade", and every push was accurate.
Afterwards, Chen Xiaohai, like Chen Zangfeng, repeatedly warned Chen Shen that he must not talk about the Panlong Blood Jade to anyone else, lest it lead to death.
After the uncle and nephew chatted for a while, the young man got to the point: "By the way, second uncle, I'm here to visit you, and secondly, I want to see if there is any way to cure your leg disease."
