Bad news?!

I could already guess the result of what Master said just by looking at his face.

However, Master didn't seem to want to explain much to me at the moment. He just said "bad news" and strode into the room.

I followed Master into the room. I didn't expect Master to only say a few simple words to Big Sister Xiaowen before directly asking Master where she was.

Sister Xiaowen looked at me suspiciously and told Master that her uncle was in the room upstairs.

His master nodded and went straight to his uncle's room.

I turned my head and made an expression that I don't know what kind of situation it was with for Big Sister Xiaowen, then I followed Master all the way up.

Uncle was very happy with my master's return, but before he could say anything, my master said to him, "Brother, don't be happy yet. I've said it earlier, I don't think you have anything to be happy about."

Uncle and I were both confused by Master's words. I was also confused. What did Master mean? He didn't explain it clearly, and just kept saying that it was troublesome.

His uncle's originally happy mood of Sister Xiaowen was instantly darkened by his master's words. He kept asking his master, Dr. Li, what exactly was going on?

The master waved his hand and said to his uncle, "Don't be anxious about anything, I'll ask you a few questions first."

Eldest Uncle nodded his head and said: "Dr. Li, don't hesitate to ask. As long as I know, I will tell you!"

Unexpectedly, Master asked a few questions that made Uncle and I even more confused.

The village has only gotten rich in the last few years, right?

Uncle nodded, and said: "That's right, this is something that the nearby towns all know. Our Lotus Village relied on experts that the village head found outside, and experts said that our place is suitable to grow lotus roots, then planted them here before we started to get rich."

Master seemed to be trying to prove something, so he nodded thoughtfully. I was curious, because I knew all of these things. Master might not know, but why did he have to ask me again?

Then Master asked Uncle if anything had happened in the village in the past few years, such as which family's child was missing? Be it born or dead.

Eldest Uncle carefully thought back for a moment and then said to my master in surprise, "Don't say it. If you think about it carefully, there are quite a few of them! In the village two years ago, Widow Li's only three-year-old son inexplicably rolled into a dry well in the village and fell to his death. "

"Widow Li has also become crazy because of this. She keeps saying that someone killed her son and captured that person and told that person that someone killed his son."

The master nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It was also two years ago, I also heard that in the neighboring village not far away, it was called 'Du Family Ping'. There, there was also a family of children who mysteriously died, I don't know the specifics, and I recently heard about the He Family Village at the other end of the rear mountain …"

His Master suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted her uncle, "I know about this matter. You don't have to say anything, but you have to think about it carefully. Do you still have anything else?"

When I heard those words, I immediately felt my mood drop. However, my Master interrupted him and I looked at him gratefully.

Master was still lost in his thoughts, and my thoughts were pulled out of my mind by Master's state of mind.

What had happened for his master to be so attentive?

If I remember correctly, when Master asked the question just now, Eldest Uncle told me about a total of four children. Whether they were born or not, they all died due to various reasons.

However, his Master still had a worried expression on her face, as if there was something else that had yet to be resolved.

But I couldn't ask right now, so I could only wait.

Hearing his master's words, his eldest uncle thought for a while before finally shaking his head and replying, "No, I can't."

Master gave a soft "Oh" and stopped talking. I knew that Master had not yet gotten the result he wanted.

Uncle was worried about Sister Xiaowen, so he asked Master. Did something happen to Xiaowen again?

His master sighed and told his uncle that it was related to Xiaowen. However, it was not only related to Xiaowen, it was also related to everyone in the village. If he did not handle this matter well, his Lotus Village would probably be finished as well!

Hearing that the consequences would be so serious, Big Uncle's face immediately turned pale white. He asked his Master with a trembling voice, Dr. Li, what exactly happened here? If it really doesn't work, then I'll just take my entire family and leave this Lotus Village. In any case, I still have some savings in hand.

What I didn't expect was that Master actually nodded his head and said to Uncle, "Before this matter is settled, it would be a good choice for you to make such preparations! "But for now, I can't tell you what the hell happened. Even if you know, it will only add to your worries, and you won't be able to help me with anything."

His eldest uncle sighed heavily, and said to his master: "Dr. Li, I know what I have already told you, but I will leave the rest to you. Everyone in Lotus Village knows about your abilities, and although we don't know what happened, we still need you to save Lotus Village!"

The master immediately agreed and said that it had always been the duty of cultivators to exterminate evil, and even if he didn't say it, he would still be responsible for it to the end.

After saying that, Master stopped talking about this topic. He stood up and walked out side by side with Uncle. I still followed him without saying a word.

Master asked me, how is Lady Xiaowen's condition?

Before I could even answer, my uncle had already rushed to answer, "Xiaowen now seems to be no different from an ordinary person. Dr. Li, you really are a famous teacher with great talents.

"I'm just a terrible Old Man, what kind of master is that? Xiao Fang is just a child, he doesn't even know anything, it would be even more distant if he could take charge of himself."

After saying that, Master turned around and looked at me. I saw a smug look in Master's eyes, I know Master's personality, so I smiled and didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, the master checked Sister Xiaowen's body and said that there was nothing big wrong with her body. With her current condition, as long as she took a few more days to recuperate, she would be completely fine.

As Big Sister Xiaowen stroked my head, she told my master that she had already recognized me as her little brother, and asked if my master had any objections. In the end, she even made me laugh and cry before saying that I couldn't do anything even if I had an objection.

Hearing her words, the Master laughed out loud and said: "I am a fool, my brain is not muddled. With a sister like you, wouldn't I have to worry less about Old Man, would I be willing?"

Then, Big Sister Xiaowen also praised me in front of my master, saying that I didn't sleep for a few days and nights, just to listen to my master's words and protect her, and so on.

Master had been grinning from ear to ear all afternoon, probably because my disciple had brought him honor!

Afterwards, I secretly told Sister Xiaowen that I had something to report to Master.

Big Sister Xiaowen said to me: "You little brat, you don't have to worry too much. Fine, I'll go cook dinner for you guys, you two have a good talk with each other."

After Big Sister Xiaowen left, Master said to me: "Xiao Fang, I never thought that you would actually give Master so much courage, I wasn't wrong about you!"

But at this moment, I wasn't happy at all, because Master had just said that this matter might very well affect the safety of the entire Lotus Village, which meant that Big Sister Xiaowen was also inside. I must ask Master about this first.

What did those dead children have to do with the safety of Lotus Village? Where had he been these past few days?

I know that my master said the bad news is that Lotus Village is very likely to be lost, but he did not say what it is called.

However, I could vaguely feel that there was someone controlling that Ghost Infant from behind!
