Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 2104
Chapter 2104: East and West Manors
“The Zhuo Family Patriarch is the second son and he lives in the East Manor, that’s why there are more people over there. It can be said that the whole family clan is dominated by the East Manor. As for the West Manor, the first son’s family lives there and there are not as many people, just his father, mother and younger siblings, and a few servants.”
Sage Hun Yuan pointed to Zhuo Junyue who was in front of him and his voice lowered as he continued speaking: “As for the reason, you know it, so that’s the story.”
Feng Jiu pursed her lips when she heard this, naturally she understood what she had just been told.
The Family Patriarch in the East Manor is Zhuo Junyue’s second uncle, and also the true bloodline of the Zhuo family. It was only natural that he had taken over as the Zhuo Family Patriarch and resided in the East Manor. However, it was a little too deserted in the West Manor. As she walked through here, she felt that although the East and the West Manor coexisted in the same premises, however, the West Manor seemed separated and abandoned.
How depressing must it be to live in this way? Did they feel like they were imposing on others living here? If her Master knew that his children and grandchildren were living in this way, he would definitely feel like he was to blame.
Her heart felt a little heavy as she looked at Zhuo Junyue who was walking slowly at this point. At this moment, she finally knew why his temperament was so quiet.
After they had walked for some distance, Zhuo Junyue took them to the main hall in the West Manor and he said to the both of them: “Please sit down for a while. I will go and greet my father and mother first.”
“Go on, go on!” The old man waved his hand and leisurely found himself a place to sit down. He took his wine gourd out and drank some wine. At the same time, he said to Feng Jiu: “Sit down, don’t worry. The people from the East Manor seldom come here.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu also found herself a place to sit down. As she looked around the simply decorated room, she couldn’t help but ask: “Why don’t they move out to live somewhere else? With Zhuo Junyue’s capabilities, he has the ability to set up his own manor.”
“It’s his grandmother, she won’t let them move out. Moreover, in addition to that, Zhuo Junyue’s father’s talents are limited. However, Zhuo Junyue’s younger brother is quite talented, but it’s a shame that he doesn’t have a good mentor to guide him.” The old man took a sip of his wine and shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu frowned slightly: “He doesn’t have a good mentor? Can he not go to the Four Great Immortal Sects to be evaluated?”
The old man touched his beard and thought for a while: “Didn’t I tell you this before? His younger brother was born a crippled. He has been in a wheelchair all his life.” His eyes turned as he couldn’t remember if he had told her that before.
Feng Jiu was a little speechless: ” When did you tell me this? You only told me he has a younger brother and a younger sister. And then you told me that his family is very poor. There are only a few people in his family and his grandmother has been living in the small courtyard chanting sutras and praying to the Buddha due to her ill health a few years ago.”
“No? I’ve forgotten myself too.”
He smiled wryly and said: “It’s not too late telling you this now! That’s all. He is talented but his legs are useless. If he can’t even stand up and bow to his mentor, it’s not that easy for him to find a mentor who will accept him as his disciple. Tell me, who is willing to accept a wheelchair bound person as his disciple? That’s why he’s stayed at home this whole time. His spiritual cultivation is quite good but his martial arts cultivation isn’t that good.”
Feng Jiu glanced at him but didn’t say anything more. Instead of asking this unreliable old man, it would be better to see for herself and ask any questions she had directly.
