In fact, Song Hushan was so courteous to Zhang Dahai because he knew a secret about him. This secret was probably unknown even to Zhang Dahai himself. The owner of the canteen had already taken Zhang Dahai as his disciple and the only one at that. Moreover, this canteen owner did not have any children, making Zhang Dahai the sole heir. Furthermore, the special military unit which the canteen owner used to belong to practiced a hereditary system. This meant there was no doubt that Zhang Dahai would enter this special military unit.

This military unit wielded immense power and in times of war held authority over discipline and justice. After the founding of the country, most members had retired, but those who remained active in both military and political circles were once influential figures with tremendous power. Given that his grandfather was part of this unit and he was its next successor, Song Hushan knew about all these details. Apart from a few generals at the time of establishment, only each term's number one person knew about it.

After the dishes were served, due to many guests present, Zhang Dahai left first.

"Xiao brother, you are now my blood brother, Song Hushan. If there’s anything you can’t solve, just come to me!" With a flushed face from drinking, Song Hushan raised his glass with one hand and patted his chest with the other.

Their old SONG family had become thin in numbers by the fourth generation, while Old Grandpa SONG doted on this great-grandson. Since the child developed autism, he only showed signs of liveliness when at Old Grandpa’s place, making Old Grandpa both heartbroken and fond of him.

The couple was exhausted due to their son's illness, but now that Xiao Yu had cured their son, Song Hushan didn't know how to thank him enough.

"Brother Xiao, I am a few years older than you. From now on, I will call you Xiaoyu and you can address me as elder sister. We are family now; don’t hesitate to come to us if you need anything!" Zhou Ruoying also raised her glass.

"Sure! I'd be delighted!" Xiao Yu said with a smile. His agreement wasn't due to excessive drinking; rather, after a day's interaction on the train and today's company, he understood Zhou Ruying's character—she was kind-hearted and generous, and she treated him very warmly. For example, when he drank tea like a cow today, instead of mocking him, Zhou Ruying considered his needs everywhere. This made Xiao Yu very touched, so when Zhou Ruying suggested it, he readily agreed without hesitation.

"Congratulations to you two! Little Brother Xiao, here's to your health! You saved Old Cai’s life and I haven't had the chance to thank you properly yet. Today, let me offer this toast in your honor!" Teacher Cai raised his glass and sincerely said to Xiao Yu.

"No...no...I can’t let Brother Cai do that for me! It should be my turn to toast you since saving lives is a doctor’s duty!" Seeing Teacher Cai's gesture, Xiao Yu quickly stood up. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yu held Teacher Cai in high regard.

Drinking self-brewed wine at the canteen and eating hearty hot pot dishes that were tender and fatty but not greasy made him feel wonderful. Chewing on a steamed bun filled with chestnut flour was even more delightful! Even legendary dragon liver or phoenix brain couldn’t be better than this!

After Yu吃飽後，就有些犯困，在蕭煜懷裡睡著了。眾人也都微醺，蕭煜說道：“蔡老師，宋哥、姐今天我們就到這裡吧！改天咱們再找個時間接著喝！”

酒席這才散去，出了食堂，宋虎山的秘書去開車，周若影對蕭煜說：“小煜，走吧，去姐姐家住！”

“姐，不去啦，本來昨天就想去看二哥了，喝多了冇成行，今天無論如何也得去一趟！”聽到周若影這麼說，蕭煜趕緊說道。

周若影沉吟片刻後說：“那小煜你住哪兒？讓張秘書開車送你吧！”

After Yu (presumably a typo for “Xiao Yu”) ate his fill and felt sleepy, he dozed off in Xiao Yu’s arms. Everyone was slightly tipsy, so Xiao Yu said, "Teacher Cai, Brother Song and Sister, we'll stop here today. Let's find another time to continue drinking!" The gathering then dispersed. As they left the canteen, Secretary Zhang went to get the car, and Zhou Ruying said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, let's go to my place.""Big sister, I won't go. Yesterday I planned to visit Brother Number Two but didn’t succeed because of drinking too much. Today, no matter what, I must make this trip!" Upon hearing Zhou Ruying’s words, Xiao Yu quickly said.Zhou Ruying pondered for a moment and then said, "Then where will you stay Let Secretary Zhang drive you.

"Sis, no need, I'm staying at the guesthouse of this hospital!" Xiao Yu hurriedly waved his hand.

"Little Brother Xiao, come over to my place someday! Let my sister-in-law cook something delicious for you!" After everyone got into the car, Teacher Cai rolled down the window and said to Xiao Yu.

"Alright, definitely. Tell my sister-in-law I said hello!" Looking at the car about to start, Xiao Yu waved his hand towards the people in the car.

Watching the car drive away, Xiao Yu went to his own room in the guesthouse.

Back in the room, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the floor and began practicing the Righteousness Decree. Since his yin soul was nourished by Judge Cai's True Spirit Fragment and had gone through the tunnel, devouring an evil ghost, making his yin soul more powerful, if he did not cultivate his physical body now, it could ultimately lead to his yin soul being unable to return to its竅 (Note: The word '竅' means orifice but doesn't make sense in this context without additional information, so I'll leave it untranslated as per the instruction).

"Knock knock... Knock knock..."

A series of knocks woke up Xiao Yu who was meditating. Checking his watch, he saw that it was already past 6 pm; he hadn't realized he had been in meditation for over five hours. After this period of cultivation, a thread-like stream of浩然正氣 (vast and upright righteous energy) began to circulate within him. He thought silently: "Who would have thought that after my yin soul becomes powerful, the speed of cultivation could also increase significantly."

Xiao Yu opened the door; it was his second elder brother Zuo Simiao: "Second Brother, done with work"

"Well, I just got off work. Don't ask about it; I drank too much last night and my head still hurts!" After entering the room, Zhu Simiao lay down on the bed and said無力地說道。

Zhu Simiao usually drinks half a catty at most, but he had drunk two catties with them last night. He slept until noon today before getting up to go to work, where he was lectured by his supervisor for still reeking of alcohol. Although this kind of liquor doesn't give you a headache, he's still feeling dizzy now.

"Third Brother, clean up a bit; we're going to my place soon. Today when I made the phone call and said that you healed Big Brother's arm, my grandfather and father want to meet you. My great-grandfather is currently living on Jade Spring Mountain, so he also wants to see you!" Lying on the bed, Zhu Simiao suddenly sat up and said with a smile.

"Mm...正好，我也想去你家拜訪一下！" Xiao Yu, who was in the bathroom washing his face, didn't even look up.

They had dinner casually outside. Knowing that Zhu Simiao's grandfather and father liked tea, Xiao Yu asked Zhu Simiao to drive them to buy some tea before heading over to Zhu Simiao's place.

Besides the family elder living on Jade Spring Mountain, all of Zhu Simiao’s family lived in the military area near the General Hospital. The hospital district was quite expansive; entering it led to two high-rise buildings, and further inside were several small villas where Zhu Simiao's family resided. This house had been inhabited by his family since the time of Xiao Yu's great-grandfather, over 50 years ago. Zhu Simiao’s father was born and raised here.

Entering the first villa in Zhu Simiao's home compound, there was a small courtyard measuring around 70 square meters, with climbing vines such as Boston ivy covering both the walls and roof, giving the entire villa a green coat. It resembled a soldier in green uniform standing tall and upright.

Inside, some old furniture filled the living room, but it didn’t give off a sense of decay; instead, it felt like an accumulation of culture. bodyguards.Despite being so far apart, the bodyguards felt like they were being seen through by the alive Buddha's gaze.The alive Buddha’s eyes emitted a bright and sharp light, yet still appeared ve...
