Boom!
The bayonet fell helplessly to the ground. Xu Wendong covered his left eye and cried out in agony.
He thought he had been very cautious.
But he underestimated the speed of the Gu Worm and never expected it to enter his body. This was a desperate move!
The sudden incident shocked everyone present. They didn’t know what had happened and didn’t even see the Gu Worm enter Xu Wendong’s left eye.
However,
they could clearly see crimson blood seeping through Xu Wendong’s fingers.
This scene appeared peculiarly eerie!
"Doctor Xu, what’s wrong?" Fang Shuya asked with concern.
Xu Wendong gritted his teeth and said, "Not good. The Gu Worm entered my eye."
Hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock.
Of course, they were pleased that Xu Wendong could expel the Gu Worm from his father’s body, but who would have thought the Gu Worm would enter Xu Wendong’s eye?
"It’s my fault. If young friend hadn’t helped expel the Gu Worm, you wouldn’t be in this state!" Elder Fang was full of remorse, feeling guilty towards Xu Wendong.
A faint smile appeared on Xu Wendong’s pale face, "Being able to let you stand tall and proud, what is it if I lose an eye?"
Elder Fang was shaken.
He recalled sothing he had said decades ago.
As long as the invaders could be driven out, what was an eye, even life?
Returning to his senses in shock, he laughed, "I haven’t felt such a resonance with anyone for a long ti. You, young man, suit my taste."
"Let’s forgo words. Tonight, we swear brotherhood, becoming sworn brothers. We do not wish to be born on the sa day, sa month, and sa year, but hope to die on the sa day, sa month, and sa year!"
Xu Wendong’s mouth twitched, and he said irritably, "Forget it. How much longer can you live at your age?"
"I’m only eighteen!"
"Eighteen, huh?"
"If I were to die the sa day as you, wouldn’t I lose out?" Saying this, he removed the Silver Needle from Elder Fang’s back and walked out irritably, asking to be shown to the restroom.
"Dad, even if you like Doctor Xu, you can’t swear brotherhood with him. That’s repaying kindness with enmity!" Fang Qingguo chuckled bitterly.
Elder Fang angrily scolded, "Laugh at your uncle! Quickly, help up. I want to see how my brother’s eye is doing."
Thus,
Elder Fang, supported by his son, got out of bed and then stood straight, walking slowly towards the restroom.
He was delighted to stand tall and live with dignity.
But thinking of Xu Wendong losing an eye because of it made him heavy-hearted and unable to feel joy.
When Elder Fang arrived at the restroom, Xu Wendong had already washed the blood from his face, but a blood spot was clearly visible on his left eyeball, as if pricked by a needle.
Elder Fang asked nervously, "Brother, how do you feel?"
Xu Wendong said, "Apart from seeing things a bit blurry with my left eye, there’s no impact. Yes, I’m not blind. It’s not a big issue; you don’t have to worry."
Initially, Xu Wendong was very worried about going blind, as the Gu Worm was no ordinary creature.
However, when the Gu Worm entered his eye,
it was enveloped by True Qi imdiately.
But that was all he could do.
If the Gu Worm had entered another place, he would have used True Qi to eliminate it imdiately.
Yet the eye is the most fragile organ of the human body.
Even though Xu Wendong was now a cultivator at the Ninth Level of the Yin-Cultivating Realm, with an exceptionally strong body, his eyes were no different from ordinary people’s.
Hence, he could not use True Qi to kill the Gu Worm.
Upon learning that Xu Wendong was not blind, the Fang family relaxed. Though the Gu Worm was still in Xu Wendong’s left eye, they trusted this extraordinary man would find a way to eliminate it.
"Soone, prepare a feast. Today, I want to entertain my brother and drink to our hearts’ content!" Elder Fang shouted, prompting the Fang family’s servants to get busy.
In less than an hour,
a table full of delicacies was delivered to the dining table. By then, Xu Wendong had completely regained his complexion, with only a slight blur in his vision and so discomfort adapting.
"Wendong, I really want us to beco friends despite our age!" At the table, Elder Fang lifted his glass, "I have accepted you as my brother, not because you saved but because we click."
"As for dying together..."
"Don’t take it to heart."
"Yes, dying together is unfair to us brothers and would make , Fang Zhenxing, seem ungrateful, unless I live longer than you. Otherwise, I will never say those words again."
"Well, although we can’t die together, we can share honors and disgrace."
"Although the Fang Family’s wealth isn’t top-notch, we’re willing to share it with you."
"If you regard , call brother."
"If you don’t, we’ll keep eating, and after the al, I’ll have soone send you back."
Xu Wendong was speechless.
Was this forcing to acknowledge you as my elder brother?
He sighed helplessly and then raised his glass, "I have nothing to say. I toast you, brother!"
"Exactly!" Elder Fang grinned, the two of them drinking together. He looked at his two sons and daughter, "Aren’t you going to toast your uncle, too?"
Fang Qingguo, Fang Qing’an, and Fang Shuya, the three siblings, were speechless.
They were clearly much older than Xu Wendong, but now they had to call him uncle.
It was quite frustrating.
Even so, the three didn’t say much, knowing the old man’s character. Once he made up his mind on sothing, no one could convince him otherwise.
So, the three siblings stood with their glasses, called him uncle, and drank the contents.
Seeing his grandson standing there in a daze, Elder Fang glared, "What are you blanking for? Your dad calls him uncle. Won’t you change it to grandpa?"
Fang Cong was about to cry!
Xu Wendong not only stole his woman,
but suddenly beca his grandpa!
Oh heavens!
Must you play with like this?
Is it fun to ss with ?
Don’t you feel this is utterly unscrupulous?
After the al,
Xu Wendong refused Elder Fang’s invitation to stay at the Fang ho, and with a cigarette in hand, he was about to leave when Elder Fang stopped him.
"Wendong, we are now true sworn brothers. Saying we’re family isn’t too far-fetched."
"If that’s the case, I’m happy to foster this beautiful thing."
"Take the Blue and White Porcelain Dragon and Phoenix Vase with you!"
"Even if it’s not a betrothal gift to you, it’s still a precious gift, not tarnishing our brotherhood!" As he spoke, he signaled to a servant to place the prepared exquisite porcelain pieces inside a van.
Afterward, Xu Wendong drove away.
Fang Qingguo let out a helpless sigh, "Dad, the marriage agreent between the Fang and Su families is well-known. Now, with Uncle and the Su family’s daughter in love..."
"If this gets out, have you considered the impact on the Fang and Su families?"
