Collapse: Chasing Fire Studio

Chapter 62

What caught the eye was a spacious and open room, with calligraphy and paintings with dry or wet ink on the surrounding walls.There was a small bed in the middle, on which lay a handsome middle-aged man with facial features similar to those of the captain, with his back lying on his back, his upper body naked, and dense silver needles inserted in various acupuncture points, which looked quite scary.

And an elegant and gentle woman was sitting on an ebony chair beside the bed, with a small table next to her legs. On the table was a small black and delicate incense burner, which was emitting soft and rippling aromas. There were also rows of silver needles, several bottles of plasters, and a pot of boiling hot water.

Seeing us coming in, the woman frowned with her curved willow eyebrows, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally closed her red lips, and flicked her showy hand on the man's back, before I noticed the ingeniousness of her hand. With a single movement, the silver needles were removed one by one, and soaked in the hot water that was boiled aside.

"Second Uncle, if you have something to do, let's wait outside for a while." I couldn't help but hesitate.

"It's not in the way." Jian Wenyi waved his hand, reached out to take the coat handed over by the woman and put it on his body, covering the perfect tendons on his upper body.

"Let me guess... is this my lovely niece and daughter-in-law?"

Jian Wenyi looked past me, looked carefully at Alicia and Sakura, and then locked his eyes on Alicia, with a kind smile on his lips.

"Hey? (?^o^?)?, hello second uncle! I am Alicia, the captain should have mentioned it to you, right?" He waved enthusiastically, because he had met grandma before, and Ellie Shia was not particularly cautious in front of these "big shots" in the ship's family.

"Okay, okay, I knew that Xiaojian must have a good vision!" Jian Wenyi smiled, took out a bulging red envelope from his pocket, and stuffed it directly into Alicia's hand.

"Take it! Second Uncle's little care~"

"Hey!? This, why is this so embarrassing! Second Uncle, put it away!"

Alicia was taken aback, and turned her eyes to me for help. At the same time, she felt that the contents of the red envelope were hard, like a stack of cards. ?A little curious. . .

"This...Second Uncle, you are too polite." I was also a little embarrassed, and helped Alicia reflect.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I gave it to Ellie, not you!" The second uncle glared at me, but put on a kind smile when facing Alicia.

"Ai Li, take it, be obedient~ If you don't accept it, the second uncle will be scolded by Xiaojian's grandma again, you will sell the second uncle a thin noodle, and accept it quickly! Don't let people see our own jokes~"

"Then, take it, Ellie..." I shivered. Grandma's cursing is not particularly scary, but her old man always likes to scold and fight at the same time...

"Oh?? Is it really possible??" Alicia looked at the captain who was instantly frightened at the mention of grandma, with great doubts in her little head.

Isn't grandma super nice. . . ?

"Put it away, Xiaojian, who are these two?"

"This is Sakura, and this is Qianjie, both are friends from the studio."

"Hello, uncle."

"Hello."

"Hello everyone! I am the captain's second uncle, you can also call me Uncle Yi." Jian Wenyi smiled lightly and shook hands with Ying and Qianjie, but there was a somewhat unpredictable light in his deep black eyes.

"By the way, let me introduce to you, this is Su Xiu, the third in charge of the Su family. Xiao Jian, it doesn't matter if the second uncle is on Hunze's side. You are also thanks to Dr. Su for that matter."

"Thanks for taking care of me." I took a closer look at the woman next to my second uncle.

This woman has exquisite and dignified facial features, and a slim and slender figure. At first glance, she looks like a lady from a famous family.Her whole body exudes a faint herbal smell, and her skin is well maintained. She looks like she is only 30 or 40 years old.But if calculated according to the seniority of the Su family, this person is probably in his [-]s.

Unlike the Northern Military Region, which is dominated by one family, the Eastern Military Region is jointly supported by several families, and the Yi family where Eden is located is one of the strongest forces.But in terms of appeal and cohesion, I am afraid that even this queen is far from being able to compare with the sages of the Su family.

The Su family inherits acupuncture and moxibustion herbs, and is also the oldest family of traditional Chinese medicine in Huangguo. It was quite famous in the Hunze generation very early on. It is said that the ancestors were once the imperial physicians of the court, specializing in treating the emperor.

The "earth tumor" that plagued the entire Eastern Military Region back then was developed with the joint efforts of several sages of the Su family and finally cured it.

But... With the introduction of western medicine, various industries of the Su family have also been impacted to varying degrees.As a representative of Chinese medicine in the Huang Kingdom, the Su family also had many meaningless internal frictions in the contradiction between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

But after all, it was also a local snake, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse.The position of general in the Eastern Military Region is still in the hands of the Su family.

"Hello, if the eldest and young master don't mind, just call me auntie." Su Xiu smiled, and there was a benevolence of a doctor in her gestures.

I also smiled back, but I just bowed my hands.

Even if it's a polite relationship, the people in the ship's family will not recognize relatives at will.

"Let's take a rest in the room? Let's have a good chat after dinner, and then I'll take everyone to visit this small manor." Seeing that Su Xiu was a little embarrassed, the second uncle glanced at me with a light smile, and said something to ease the frozen situation.

"Well, Second Uncle can make arrangements." I nodded slightly, only to see Second Uncle clap his hands, and the woman in black who led the way before appeared at the door again, leading us back to our respective rooms to rest.

There are many guest rooms in this manor. The second uncle probably means that we can choose by ourselves. It seems that we want to live with Sakura, but I forced them to live together.But Qianjie and Sakura didn't seem to have that kind of intimate relationship yet, so they each chose a single room to live in.

When it was time for dinner, Qian Jie and the original cook in the manor cooked a table of dishes together, including chicken, duck and fish, and the second uncle was also quite enthusiastic, chatting with everyone very happily, even Qian Jie was opened up...

"When is Ellie going to release her work, tell my second uncle! Second uncle will help you promote it."

"Hey, really, Second Uncle? My dad said he would help me prepare well, but it would be even better if Second Uncle could take me with him~"

"It's on the second uncle. The second uncle directly sponsors a competition, and you prepare a piece of work to submit to ensure that you become famous in one fell swoop."

"(≧?≦) Oh!? If this is the case, it is a shady scene!"

"It doesn't count, it's just a legitimate competition for rational use of resources." Second Uncle blinked, "But if Ellie wants to win a prize in a competition like the Huangyun Cup, Second Uncle wouldn't dare to guarantee it."

"Hh, Second Uncle is so interesting! But Alicia herself will work hard~~ Speaking of the last Huangyun Cup, my dad seems to be a referee?" Alicia also blinked.

"Hh, Xiaojian really has a vision! Ellie, let's cheer together, let's cheer together ~ this cup is toast to you!" The uncle poured himself a glass with a smile, thinking that the captain's girlfriend is really interesting.

I just remembered that Jian Wenzhuo got the title of Admiral of the Northern Army back then, and with his elder brother's calm personality, he couldn't help putting on airs, and went to his mother to show off.

In the end, my mother just sneered and said something lightly.

"You don't really think that the old woman is useless, do you? "

The eldest brother froze immediately, and was depressed for a long time during that time.

He laughed and teased afterwards, "Didn't you always dislike this kind of operation? "

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother just snorted coldly, and replied lightly, "I can't live up to the expectations of my mother and the people"

At that moment, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. In other words, this sentence is:

"Do you know how cool it is to have the mother of a former head coach?" "

As long as Aili's own quality is excellent, Jian Wenyi will certainly not be stingy with the resources in his hands, and praise a new star for the ship family.

"Second Uncle is too polite~ I respect you, I respect you!" Alicia immediately stood up, holding a glass of juice and clinking glasses with Second Uncle, as if the two were real uncles and nieces.

"Ahem, Second Uncle, I will arrange for Ellie's affairs, so I don't need to trouble you to take action. But my friend, I wonder if you can give me some advice?" I interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Hh, you came to look for the second uncle about the law world?"

"Second Uncle, Jian Wenya and I are not on the same road"

"Wenya is that temper. She doesn't like you, so it's useless for the second uncle to persuade you." The second uncle smiled helplessly, as if he was reluctant to say more about this.

"Second Uncle, I can't understand her either." The man's voice was tough and cold.

"..." Jian Wenyi was silent for a while, he looked at me and then at Sakura.

"Xiao Jian, after all, she is your aunt and my sister."

"Second uncle, I never regarded her as an aunt, and I don't think she may have you as a brother in her eyes."

"...how sure are you?"

"Thirty percent, but if the second uncle is on my side, it's ninety percent."

"I account for [-]%?"

"Not really, if Second Uncle is neutral, then it's [-]%."

Frowning, Jian Wenyi instantly understood what the captain meant.

Among the five chief justices in the Huang Kingdom... at least one is the captain of the ship.

Chapter 63

"Little ship, what do you think power is?"

On the steps in front of the manor, my second uncle and I sat side by side, looking at the few scattered stars above the sky.

Picking up the bottle in my hand, I frowned and took a sip.

"I read a book before, which said that the essence of power is the extent to which you influence or control others, and even the spiritual life of the entire society. I think this definition is more in line with my understanding."

"Well... But your second uncle only realized this when he was 30 years old." The second uncle was a little surprised, he patted my shoulder with a wry smile, then picked up a bottle of wine, popped off the cap and drank Take a sip.

The man raised his head, his deep black pupils were lonely, and the evening wind blew over his second uncle's vicissitudes of cheeks. He had clearly stood at the pinnacle of power in the Huang Kingdom, but his expression was so lonely at this moment. ………

"Second Uncle... I want to ask you something." Second Uncle's voice was filled with weakness.

"What's up.?"

"Second uncle has a daughter."

"!??" I turned my head in surprise and looked at my second uncle in disbelief.Not to mention my daughter, I have never even heard that my second uncle had sex with any woman.

"Should be about the same age as you, maybe a little younger."

"I remember... you frantically posted missing person notices in Huangguo, saying that you were helping a friend find his daughter, but grandma stopped you..."

"Well, that friend is myself."

Jian Wenyi's fist clenched involuntarily, and the sharp nails got stuck in the flesh, oozing traces of blood.

"You should know that part of the territory of the current Northern Military Region is actually the former Lantern Kingdom. The management of this place was once chaotic. The reason for this is that there are many spies left behind who hide among the masses and stir up trouble."

"Second Uncle was young and thought he was good at kung fu, so he called some friends and wanted to kill all the pests in this place."

"... I remember that the code-named deworming operation finally succeeded. The secret stronghold of the Illuminati in the northern military region was uprooted, and the cloud prison area was restored to stability." I was slightly taken aback.

"Well, but we also died a lot of masters. The Illuminati not only hid three "generals" in Yun Prison...I also met their "king" in that battle that year."

"King.?" I frowned, this was the first time I heard this title.

"The "King" of the Illuminati faction is extremely powerful. He should have experienced "Ning Yuan" just like you. The second uncle fought with him. Although this man lost one eye, his body is basically half Disabled, even after more than 20 years of cultivation, I still can't improve my Qi and Luck."

"That period of time can be said to be the darkest time in my second uncle's life. He was paralyzed in bed all day long... But it was also during that time that my second uncle met a very cute girl."

"She is not particularly beautiful. Although she works as a nurse in the local hospital, she does some odd jobs. When she is free, she comes to chat with my second uncle. She always asks my second uncle what kind of girl the rich second generation likes. Can you introduce her so that I can hug my thighs."

"She is really cute, like a money-grubbing kitten. She can ask such a shameless question openly. The second uncle started to find it interesting, so he chatted with her when he was free. Sometimes the family sent some high-end food over, and he deliberately left a portion for her. She is also courteous, and will sneak some fruit snacks distributed by the hospital to the second uncle to eat in the ward."

"Second Uncle didn't know that it was liking at the beginning, but simply felt that the time with her was very happy, so when she asked again that she wanted Second Uncle to introduce her to the rich second generation, Second Uncle said it casually."

"I'll take care of you."

"Unexpectedly, her thick skin turned red all of a sudden, and she ran out in a hurry, and didn't come to see Second Uncle for two or three days."

"The next time I met her, she was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, which was so dirty, she was packing her luggage in a foolish way. Uncle wanted to tease her, but she ignored him, and just said that she wanted to move. I went to another hospital and told my second uncle not to look for her again."
