A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 69 Setting up one's own business

The hostess took the five small yellow croakers from Hao Henduo's hand and smiled with satisfaction: "You're so generous. But considering the character of you and your daughter, I'll help you even if it's free."

Hao Xiachan had a sweet tongue, thanking the hostess repeatedly, which melted her heart: "This young lady is so wonderful. If I had a son, I would definitely marry you off to him."

He walked out while talking.

After she left, Hao Henduo asked Hao Xiachan, "Do you think this Old Ancestor Guo will really help us?"

Hao Xiachan said, "I've inquired about it. Isn't it a coincidence? This Sixia Village is the village of my idol's roommate, and this Master Guo is my idol's master. If he doesn't help us, who else can he help?"

“That makes some sense,” Hao Henduo said. “Xiao Chan, I really admire your judgment. Do you know what Wu Cheng has been up to lately?”

"Are you talking about my idol bringing all the martial arts clubs from Longqiu University under his wing? Didn't I tell you that? Why are you testing me?" Hao Xiachan said, somewhat displeased.

Hao Henduo chuckled: "Yes, in such a short time, he became a martial arts apprentice and joined so many clubs. This must be in preparation for entering Tianwu University. Once he enters Tianwu University, he will have achieved great success in one step."

"At that time, not to mention Long Qiu, even the Du family, the number one family in Xiyang, will have to look down on Wu Cheng as equals."

Hao Xiachan heard her father praising Wu Cheng and a smug look appeared on her face: "Well, look who his idol is."

Do you like him or not?

"Of course I do."

"Or, should I find someone to mediate between you two?" Hao Henduo asked tentatively.

"Dad, what are you saying? I'm telling you, this is no joke." Hao Xiachan became anxious. "My idol isn't some other man. If you really go and tell someone, how am I supposed to get along with him after this?"

Hao Henduo had no choice but to give up when he saw his daughter's objection: "Such an outstanding boy, we should act first, otherwise it will be too late to regret it if someone else snatches him away."

Hao Xiachan stomped her feet shyly after hearing this: "If you bring up this topic again, I won't talk to you anymore."

Hao Hen smiled, then said seriously, "This medicine fair is the most important one for us. We have left the Hao family and are now independent."

Starting our own business is certainly easier, but the pressure on our shoulders has also increased. Your grandfather's Hao family is an old family that has risen since the Nine Origins Starfall. It took hundreds of years of accumulation to achieve its current status in Longqiu.

"And us? Now that we've separated from the Hao family, we're starting from scratch, from nothing. We're not even as good as those who started from nothing; they don't have to face immense pressure. But from the moment we separated from the Hao family, we became enemies with the original Hao family."

Hao Xiachan disagreed: "Don't always focus on the bad things. Don't we still have our idol as our backer? Besides, the Hao family has offended the Du family, so they're probably going to be in a mess this time. And don't be fooled by how shrewd my third uncle is; he doesn't really have any influence right now."

Not only does he lack prestige, but he also has a corn on his forehead. He looks so bad he'd hardly ever see anyone. I bet if he doesn't get treatment from my idol, he'll be stuck pretending to be Erlang Shen (a Chinese deity) with that corn for the rest of his life.

Hao Henduo sighed: "You only know one side of the story. Actually, among the three of us brothers, your third uncle seems to be scheming and calculating, but he's still too young. What I'm really worried about isn't your third uncle, but your second uncle."

Hao Xiachan was a little surprised: "My second uncle? I don't think he usually gets involved in anything."

"The truly evil is the kind that doesn't show itself. Your second uncle is that kind of person. Your third uncle was often used as a pawn by your second uncle."

"Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had told Grandpa about it, wouldn't he have understood?"

Hao Henduo shook his head: "You're thinking too simply. Actually, your grandfather also hopes that your second uncle can take over the Hao family."

Why not you?

“Your grandfather once said that I am too soft-hearted and too honest, like a sheep. The Hao family doesn’t need sheep; the Hao family needs foxes and wolves.”

"So, does that mean my third uncle is the wolf and my second uncle is the fox?"

"You could say that. So, although our situation is similar to when Shenyan Baili left the Bai family to start his own business, it's actually quite different. We still have a long way to go. If we can really get help from your idol, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Hao Xiachan sighed softly, "That's true, but my idol himself must have a lot of troubles too."

At the village entrance, Guo Sidi got up early and performed a set of seemingly fancy boxing techniques.

While practicing his boxing, he muttered to himself, hoping that the father and son he had discussed with Hao Henduo and his daughter yesterday to extort money from would arrive soon.

After a while, Hao Xiajian and Hao Henxin appeared, while Guo Sidi slowly began his energetic performance.

It has to be said that Guo Sidi's otherworldly appearance was truly remarkable. When Hao Xiajian and the other man saw Guo Sidi practicing his boxing, and then saw his snow-white hair and ruddy complexion, he looked like a reincarnation of the God of Longevity, and they felt boundless respect for him.

Hao Xiajian stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "Old immortal, may I ask if you are Ancestor Guo?"

Guo Sidi ignored him and finished his set of punches before turning to them: "You two little brats, how can you be so ignorant? This set of punches of mine is known as the 'Enemy of Gods.' When practicing it, it is crucial that no one is around. You two almost ruined my cultivation."

Hao Henxin quickly apologized: "Old man, it was wrong of us to disturb you, but we have an important matter that we would like to ask Elder Guo for help with. We don't know where Elder Guo is. We apologize for offending you."

Guo Sidi waved his hand: "I am the Guo Ancestor you are looking for, but I am not in a good mood right now, so please leave."

"Ancestor, listen to me. I truly have a matter of life and death to ask for your help..." Hao Henxin was cautious and didn't finish explaining his situation. He wasn't the kind of person who completely believed everything others said; he always had to leave some room for maneuver in his interactions with others and couldn't be 100% honest.

Guo Sidi sized up Hao Henxin: "You mean you want me to treat that owl eye on your forehead? There's no rush to treat the owl eye. I can tell you still have tiger energy on you. Did you run into something related to tigers? Could it be a tiger's accomplice?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Henxin was overjoyed and lifted the headscarf from his forehead: "Ancestor, you recognize this corn on my forehead?"

Guo Sidi glanced at Hao Henxin with disdain: "Are you doubting your ancestor? Let me tell you, this is not a corn, but an owl's eye. Not only do I recognize it, but I can also cure it."

Hao Henxin almost knelt before Guo Sidi: "Please, Ancestor, save my life. I'm willing to pay any price to cure my illness."
