Chapter 88: Preparation

"Yeah."

Actually, when Hu Ke'er heard Master talking about Senior Brother Chen's background, she felt that this matter seemed a bit familiar. Wasn't it just a version of the descendant of the Seven Fairy Maidens...

"The stinky kid's mother was from the Wen family just like me. His father was a disciple surnamed Chen from Longhu Mountain," Uncle Wen said softly.

"Our Wen family are celestial beings from the celestial realm. The family rules are strict, and it is not allowed to fall in love with ordinary cultivators. But my younger sister, the kid's mother, just violated this rule. It was also because I was not detached enough that I reluctantly protected this kid under his mother's bitter plea."

"So that's how it is."

The basic plot was almost the same as what Hu Ke'er had thought. But Hu Ke'er thought the most unreasonable thing was the ridiculous rule that immortals and mortals were not allowed to fall in love.

"No wonder so many people don't like Senior Brother Chen. It turns out it's because of this reason."

"The reason why those disciples are not very friendly to the stinky kid is not because of this. It's because this kid once went berserk and hurt many fellow disciples. After that, many disciples were afraid of and resisted him," Master said softly.

"Okay."

Hu Ke'er nodded.

"Since Uncle Wen is also from the celestial beings, there should be a way to wake Senior Brother Chen up, right?" Hu Ke'er said as she looked at Uncle Wen.

"There is a way," Uncle Wen also said softly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Uncle Wen, hurry up and save Senior Brother Chen!" Hu Ke'er said anxiously.

"Stinky girl, don't be in such a hurry. This old guy is the kid's uncle. He won't stand by and watch him die. Since he hasn't taken action all this time, it means there must be a reason, right?" Master said as he winked at Uncle Wen.

"Yeah."

Uncle Wen nodded.

"If I want to save this kid, I'm afraid I have to go all out. By then, it will be easy for the people of the Wen family to sense it. With the current situation of Longhu Mountain, it may not be able to confront the Wen family," Uncle Wen said with a bitter smile.

"Then what should we do? Are we just not going to save Senior Brother Chen?" Hearing Uncle Wen's words, Hu Ke'er also said softly.

"Of course we have to save him, but we have to think of a way. Uncle Master, what do you think we should do?" Uncle Wen looked at Uncle Master and asked.

"If you really want to save him, then do it here!" Uncle Master rubbed his chin and thought for a while before saying.

"Senior Brother, have you thought it through? Doing it here will bring quite a bit of trouble to Longhu Mountain!" Uncle Wen exclaimed in surprise when he heard Uncle Master's words.

"Of course I know that. But our Zhang family of Longhu Mountain is also a branch of the celestial beings from the celestial realm. Maybe we don't have as much influence as your Wen family, but we won't be completely destroyed. Moreover, there is a protective formation set up by the predecessors here. Only in this way can you be undisturbed by the people of your Wen family when you take action to treat this kid," Uncle Master said with his eyelids drooping.

"However, you have to give me some time to prepare before we start. All the disciples with relatively low cultivation levels need to be transferred to a safe place."

"Okay, Uncle Master, you make the arrangements!" Uncle Wen nodded after hearing Uncle Master's words.

"Good. Since we've made the decision, we should act quickly." Uncle Master said resolutely.

"Junior Brother Zheng, you go and inform all the disciples of the branch families and the inner courtyard. Let all of them go to the Qianxue Jedi to take refuge. All the uncles will stay to preside over each formation and guard the mountain gate."

"Okay!"

Hearing Uncle Master's words, Master also nodded and then directly turned into a blurred shadow and disappeared on the spot.

"I'll go and activate the mountain gate formation. Junior Brother Wen, you prepare the materials for treating this kid."

"Yeah!"

After Uncle Master finished speaking, he also turned into a blurred shadow and disappeared on the spot.

"Girl, why don't you also go to the Qianxue Jedi to take refuge?" Seeing Uncle Master and Master leave, Uncle Wen also looked at Hu Ke'er and asked softly.

"No, thank you. I want to take care of Senior Brother Chen here."

"Your current cultivation is only at the Body Tempering Stage. It's very dangerous here!" Uncle Wen sized up Hu Ke'er and said.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of danger." Hu Ke'er said firmly.

"If you get hurt, this kid probably won't be happy when he wakes up, right?"

"But I want to watch over Senior Brother Chen." Hu Ke'er said stubbornly.

"Alright then..."

Seeing Hu Ke'er's serious expression, Uncle Wen's eyes gradually became blurred, as if he was recalling someone he was familiar with.

"Fine, fine. If you really want to stay here, then stay." Uncle Wen also said with a bitter smile and shook his head.

"You can stay here, but you have to promise me that when I start to treat the stinky kid, you stay away. I'm afraid it will hurt you."

"Yeah!"

Hu Ke'er nodded vigorously and thanked him.

"Thank you, Uncle Wen! But Uncle Wen, there's still something I don't understand."

"Hmm?" Uncle Wen asked in confusion.

"Girl, just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Actually, I can understand why you, Uncle Wen, want to save Senior Brother. After all, you're Senior Brother Chen's uncle. But I'm still quite surprised that Uncle Master would gamble the entire sect for just one person like Senior Brother Chen."

"This is because back then, Uncle Master promised this kid's father that he would take good care of him. Uncle Master and his father are also considered cousins."

"Ugh, this relationship is so complicated—" Hearing Uncle Wen's words, Hu Ke'er also scratched her head.

"Not really. After all, as you live longer, human relationships become more complicated. Our realm hasn't reached the stage of cutting off good and evil, so these human relationships will ultimately trouble us," Uncle Wen also said with a bitter smile.

"I see!" Hu Ke'er nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, Uncle Wen, what's the probability of you successfully treating Senior Brother Chen this time?"

"Less than 30%."

"Eh?!" Hearing Uncle Wen's words, Hu Ke'er also exclaimed in surprise.

"This probability is too low, isn't it?"

"His constitution is special. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. And this 30% probability is already not low!" Uncle Wen said softly.

"If we take into account the possibility that the Wen family will come to cause trouble during the treatment, the success rate may be less than 10%!"

"This..." Hearing Uncle Wen's words, a worried look reappeared on Hu Ke'er's face.

"If it fails, what will happen to Senior Brother Chen? Will he die?"

"It would be good if he just died," Uncle Wen said softly.

"If he really died, there would still be a chance of reincarnation. His origin is damaged now. If an accident happens during the treatment, it may very likely lead to his soul being scattered! By then, there will only be a body left, and even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal came down to earth, he wouldn't be able to save him!"

"No way, it's so serious. No, I also have to prepare and do my part to protect Senior Brother Chen!"
