"A Jiang is right. If we talk about the most well-informed family among the Nine Sects, besides Zhang Dafoye's family, it's the Huo family." Xie Yuchen explained to his childhood friend seriously.

"The Huo family is headed by a woman, which was unique not only among the Nine Gates but also in the world at that time. After the Nine Gates were purged, your grandfather spent all his family wealth to marry into a family in Hangzhou. Fourth Grandfather moved to the southwest, and the other families in the Nine Gates moved to the capital.

If we were to ask which family among the Nine Sects did the best after the purge, besides Zhang Dafoye's family, it would probably be the Huo family.

Soon after Old Lady Huo and the Huo family relocated to the capital, she arranged a marriage with a high-ranking military officer. This marriage secured the survival of most of the Huo family, and their status skyrocketed. While Old Lady Huo's husband was still alive, many of the Huo family's daughters had married into various families in the capital. For all else, no other family in the Nine Gates could compare to them in terms of accessibility.

In other words, Mrs. Huo knew nothing about her daughter being taken to the sanatorium. That's absolutely impossible. There's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable. Some news would have leaked out. With the Huo family's power at the time, wouldn't it have been easy to rescue someone?

"So, Mrs. Huo knew that her daughter was in a nursing home?" Wu Xie felt like his CPU was about to burn out. What on earth could make someone give up their own daughter?

"We don't know for sure," Jiang Shen shook his head. "But what we can be sure of is that the old lady of the Huo family knows something. Why don't you go and ask her?"

When Wu Xie heard this, his face immediately fell. "Forget it then! The old lady of the Huo family has always disliked the people of our Wu family. If I make her angry and cause harm, it would be a great sin!"

Xie Yuchen rolled his eyes at Wu Xie and said, "After all these years, Granny Huo has become quite good at cultivating her Qi. It's not that easy for you to upset someone. Unless your grandfather is resurrected, it's impossible."

Wu Xie: “…”

"Since it's Yangjiao Lake, it seems we didn't bring diving equipment this time?" Fatty Wang suddenly thought of a fatal problem. How can we go into the water without diving equipment?

Jiang Shen looked at Fatty Wang speechlessly, "Brother Fatty, have you forgotten that I'm a water goblin? Water goblins can breathe underwater. At worst, I can just go down there when the time comes."

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Wu Xie said hesitantly.

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Jiang Shen looked at Wu Xie with a wary expression. "If what Old Man Panma said is true, there must be a lot of corpses underwater. If you go down with me, what if all those things underwater rise up? I can guarantee that I will come back alive, can you?"

Wu Xie: ...

When Fatty Wang heard this, he felt that Jiang Shen's words made sense. "Tian Nai, Ah Jiang is right! If you really cause the corpses to rise after you go down, the sin will be really serious!"

The next morning, Jiang Shen and his companions went up the mountain under the leadership of Panma Dad. Fatty Wang also brought Yuncai with him, saying that Yuncai would take care of his food.

But whether Yuncai was asked to take care of the diet or Fatty Wang himself wanted to pick up girls was another matter.

May Xiuxiu live a life without worries: [It’s over, Fatty has fallen in love!]

Ye Yu: [It's okay, with the anchor in Yuncai, nothing will happen. A fat man can also marry a beautiful woman.]

Poetry Expresses Aspirations: [Although this road is still long, and Yuncai and that guy called "Tucked Shoulders" do have a deal, I hope the host can save Yuncai's life!]

yzDonald Duck: [Should this guy with slumped shoulders die?]

Wang Yanyue, who likes crabapple trees, said: "They say he deserves to die because he killed Yuncai, but this is the world of tomb raiders, where killing is commonplace. And the man with the hunched shoulders is a pitiful person. He's Zhang Qiling, chosen by Zhang Qishan through a nationwide audition, and he considers himself Zhang Qiling. That's why he's been guarding the Zhang family's ancient building, preventing outsiders from coveting it."

Traveler Shi Yi: [Whether to save the collapsed shoulder or not, host, do as you wish! His life or death is not that important.]

Jiang Shen: [No matter what, he's still quite skilled. He won't be killed that easily!]

"We're finally here," Wu Xie found a place to sit down. He had been walking all day and was almost exhausted.

"Let's set up the tent first!" Jiang Shen said, and took out the folded tent from the backpack on his back.

Fatty Wang on the side also wanted to help, but he had been walking for a whole day and had exhausted his physical strength. If he set up a tent again, he would probably be embarrassed in front of the clouds.

"Fat brother, just stand there! Brother, boss, the three of us will set up the tent." Jiang Shen said to the brother and Jie Yuchen.

The two nodded, and soon three tents appeared by the lake.

"It's an imported tent, it's so easy to set up." Jiang Shen stretched and moved his body.

"Brother Fatty, dinner is left to you and Yuncai!" Jiang Shen winked at Fatty Wang.

"Okay!" When Fatty Wang heard this, he knew that Jiang Shen was creating an opportunity for him.

Jiang Shen and the others consciously walked to a certain distance away from Fatty Wang to ensure that Fatty Wang would not hear their conversation.

"Brother Fatty is really stuck in this!" Jiang Shen raised his eyebrows.

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. It's normal for Fatty to be attracted to Yuncai, and Yuncai is indeed beautiful." Xie Yuchen looked at Fatty Wang in the camp and said, "It's this girl named Yuncai who doesn't seem to like Fatty Wang very much."

"It's okay. Although Fatty isn't as good-looking as us, he's still pretty good-looking on his own," Jiang Shen said. "There's an old saying, 'A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man.' As long as Fatty is willing to persevere, there's no need to worry about not being able to bring Yun Cai home."

"Even if Yuncai is willing, Uncle Gui may not agree, right? Fatty seems to be almost ten years older than Yuncai," Wu Xie said.

"Being older isn't a problem," Jiang Shen glanced at Fatty Wang, who had a perverted look on his face. "Fat Brother is already quite wealthy, with a Beijing hukou (household registration), a house, a car, a shop, and savings, but no loans. Yuncai will get a Beijing hukou when she marries him. Besides, in the eyes of Uncle Gui's generation, marrying a man provides for food and clothing, and Yuncai will definitely live a good life if she marries Fatty. Being a little older won't matter. What's more, Fatty has no elders above him, which means Yuncai doesn't have a mother-in-law, so she doesn't have a mother-in-law relationship. In other words, Fatty is perfect in every way except for his age, making him a perfect match for marriage."

"That's true!" Wu Xi touched his chin.

As for the young man who had been standing next to the three of them, he was already thinking about what kind of gift to give to Fatty Wang! After all, getting married has always been a big event since ancient times.
