Since Yunxi's family was expecting more than ten people, Xiao Yu had rented a bus.

At around seven in the morning, Xiao Yu and his group arrived outside Yunxi's neighborhood. He glanced at the time and called Yunxi.

A short while later, after hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu walked towards Yunxi’s home with Song Hushan and Ye Fei.

Usually, when accompanying Xiao Yu to pick someone up, it would be elders from his family. Since there were no other relatives in Xiao Yu's family, only Song Hushan and Ye Fei could step forward.

"Xiao Yu, you're here!" When Xiao Yu reached Yunxi’s building on the ground floor, she was standing downstairs waiting for them. Seeing him approach, her face turned red as she greeted him.

Today was probably the second biggest day after their wedding; from now on, they were not only boyfriends and girlfriends but also fiancés. Hence, both of them felt a bit excited about it.

The group went upstairs to greet Yunxi’s family and relatives before heading out again as they still had to rush towards the capital city. They couldn’t afford to waste any time here so they only rested briefly at Yunxi's place before coming out to board the bus.

By around ten in the morning, Xiao Yu’s bus arrived steadily outside his courtyard home. When Yunxi’s family saw this grand residence, they were dumbfounded; such a magnificent house was something they had only seen on TV and not in real life before.

The expressions of Yunxi's relatives became very reserved as they stepped into the big mansion, with Wang Junlin and his group taking charge of receiving them.

If it were Song Hushan’s group to receive them, due to the difference in social status between both sides, there wouldn’t be any common topics for them to discuss and awkward situations might arise. However, Wang Junlin's team was different; their social standing was closer to Yunxi's relatives, and they all came from the same city, so it would not lead to unpredictable embarrassing scenes.

Xiao Yu’s engagement ceremony was rather simple—more like a family gathering where both sides’ relatives had dinner together to foster relationships.

The entire engagement ceremony involved Xiao Yu and Yunxi exchanging engagement rings. There wasn’t much for them to do afterwards, so they went into an adjacent room with Xiao Yu's sister Miyu and Zhou Ruoying to accompany Yunxi.

After finishing the meal, Yunxi's family would leave, marking the end of Xiao Yu’s engagement ceremony. Although there wasn’t much for them to do on this day, from now on, under the witness of their families and relatives, they officially became an engaged couple.

This was no longer just a simple relationship for both of them; they were moving towards marriage. Furthermore, Xiao Jianying had a very fond liking towards Yunxi.

Many people also advised Xiao Jianying that Xiao Yu wasn't suitable for Yunxi and suggested introducing him to a lady from a prominent family who was beautiful, well-mannered, and from a good background.

Xiao Jianying tactfully declined all their proposals. As long as her son liked someone, she wouldn’t care about the person’s origins. She herself came from an ordinary family; how could she look down on others

Furthermore, saying that they weren't suitable hit a sore spot for Xiao Jianying. If it wasn’t due to the word "unsuitable," would her family have ended up like this in the past

Hence, although Xiao Jianying’s refusal was tactful, there was a firmness in her expression. As long as her son didn't say no, nobody else's opinion mattered. She would respect her son's wishes and not interfere.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Yu sent Yunxi and his relatives back to the old city. It wasn’t until now that he finally had some time alone with Yunxi after a busy day.

However, there were many of Yunxi's relatives in the car now, and since Yunxi was shy, they didn't make any intimate gestures. They sat at the back seat and talked about their recent lives separately.

Xiao Yu saw Yunxi off home, rested briefly at his place, and then bid farewell to Yunxi’s parents before heading towards Beijing.

When Xiao Yu returned from the old city, it was already pitch black outside. When he entered the courtyard, there wasn’t a sound despite the bright lights, causing an eerie silence that made Xiao Yu feel uneasy.

Xiao Yu quickened his pace and walked into the second courtyard. The occasional chatter in the living room of the second courtyard slightly eased his mind.

When he pushed open the door to enter the room, he was momentarily stunned at the sight before him—many people were seated inside, including Zhuo Lao Taiye who hadn’t come today.

The seniors like Li Suijun also sat there with solemn expressions. When they saw Xiao Yu, their eyes lit up but quickly dimmed again.

Zhang Dahai and Song Hushan left without anyone noticing when.

"What's going on Elders, is there something wrong" After seeing the elders' expressions, Xiao Yu was surprised for a moment and then felt inexplicably tense. He couldn't help but ask them what happened.

"This........ Sigh........." Li Suijun tried to speak but ended with a sigh instead of saying anything else.

The other elders and Old Grandpa Zhuo also sighed, but none of them spoke up.

"Mom, what happened" Xiao Yu turned to look at Xiao Jianying, his brows furrowed as he asked.

"Xiao Yu, it's like this.........." After hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Xiao Jianying started narrating some things. The elders couldn't speak about them, but she had no choice but to tell him.

After listening to his mother's narration, Xiao Yu understood the entire situation.

It turned out that right after Xiao Yu and Yun Xi’s family left, Old Grandpa Zhuo suddenly came over here.

Everyone knew that even when Xiao Yu got engaged, Old Grandpa Zhuo didn't show up. But now he had come, not for any matter concerning the Xiao family, but to find Li Suijun and the other elders.

Old Grandpa Zhuo was acquainted with these elders for more than a few decades. Moreover, although Old Grandpa Zhuo wasn’t part of that secret military unit himself, he had close ties with it, being one of the few people outside the organization who knew about its existence.

The reason why Old Grandpa Zhuo sought out Li Suijun and the other elders was because his only grandson, Zhuo Simiao, went missing while going into the mountains for a charity medical service during the New Year.

Of the six people in Zhuo Simiao's group, five had been found, but they were already dead. Only Zhuo Simiao hadn’t been located yet.

The deaths of these five individuals were very strange; their bodies turned a greenish-black color, and their bodies bore deep scratches that looked like they had been made by wild animals, covering every inch of their skin in dense patterns.

When someone passed a message to the ZHUO family, Old Grandpa Zhuo could no longer sit still. Ordinary people might not know, but he was aware of the existence of certain mysterious things, so he went to find Li Su Jun. However, Li Su Jun wasn't in the canteen; after asking around, he found out that Li Su Jun had gone to the XIAO family, and thus he also headed for the XIAO residence.

Regarding Xiao Yu's engagement, since ZHUO Siqiu was not present, Xiao Yu did not inform the ZHUO family. Moreover, the ZHUO family didn't even know that Xiao Yu lived here.

Only after Old Grandpa Zhuo found out that Xiao Yu resided there could he roughly guess what had happened. He knew the significance of this quadrangle courtyard, so upon learning about Xiao Yu's presence, it instantly clicked for him.

Furthermore, during their first encounter with Xiao Yu back then, Xiao Yu had used the Life-Sustaining Five-Element Acupuncture technique. At that time, Old Grandpa Zhuo hadn't thought much of it because he knew that the YE family was proficient in five-element acupuncture; hence, although he found it odd, he didn’t inquire further. But now, everything finally made sense to him.

Back then, Old Grandpa Zhuo had been a freshly graduated overseas student. Since witnessing Xiao Yu's maternal grandfather’s medical skills on the Anti-Japanese War battlefield, he had persistently begged Xiao Yu's maternal grandfather to take him as an apprentice. However, Xiao Yu’s maternal grandfather hadn’t felt inclined to take any disciples at that time.

Eventually, although Old Grandpa Zhuo managed to study medicine under Xiao Yu’s maternal grandfather for several years, he was never officially taken in as a disciple and not even listed as a nominal one. Despite this, Old Grandpa Zhuo had always regarded Xiao Yu's maternal grandfather as his master from the heart.

After hearing the accounts of Li Su Jun and Old Grandma Song, he learned about the origins of the XIAO family. However, at that moment, he didn’t have time to dwell on these details; with his only great-grandson’s fate uncertain, it was easy to imagine how anxious he felt.

When Li Su Jun heard Old Grandpa Zhuo's account, he fell into deep thought. They knew quite a bit about such mysterious matters, and from what Old Grandpa Zhuo said, the deaths of these five individuals were clearly not natural causes.

Li Su Jun pondered for a moment before making a phone call; soon after, it was picked up on the other end. When he heard what they told him over the phone, his expression turned very grim.

It turned out that Old Grandpa Li's recent call was to the Hunan Western Thirteen Division branch. The branch had already received a report and were handling it, but so far two soldiers had been lost with no trace of an enemy encountered; their manner of death was identical to those five people.

Upon hearing what the head of Hunan Western Thirteen Division said, they decided to temporarily halt any action until further instructions arrived.

Li Su Jun and a few old men discussed it. Since it was New Year's time, many martial artists and mysterious cultivators were on leave except for some ordinary soldiers; thus, the only option left was to send Zhang Dahai, Song Hushan, and Ye Fei. Of course, accompanying them would be another enigmatic cultivator.

They knew that this mission wouldn't just involve these few people; it would also include ordinary soldiers who could not ensure safety or minimize casualties. Since all of those involved were their direct descendants, they naturally hoped for their safety. Xiao Yu, with his miraculous medical skills, would be the best choice for this mission. (To Be Continued...)ging look on Song Hushan's face, Xiao Yü helplessly shook his head. He knew that Song Hushan had tasted all kinds of rare delicacies but was particularly fond of hot pot dishes."Wait a minute, hot pot...
