structions.”

“She gave me a sum of 5,000 taels of silver that she had kept secretly for years,” Uncle Qi said.
“She even told me to take good care of you!”

“Later on, Miss died, but Chen Shi’an lived absolutely well.
He benefited from the silver Miss left behind from her dowry.
He married your stepmother back then! He even ostracized some of the servants and guards Miss brought with her back then,” Uncle Qi said.
“I was transferred to be in charge of transporting the herbs.
Although I had basic mastery of martial arts, I was nothing in the Chen family.
I had to stay in the Chen family to protect you… so I couldn’t protest.”

“Do you still remember that when you were nine years old, the Chen family’s herb transportation team was attacked by bandits, and more than half died?” Uncle Qi looked at Xu Jingming.
“Actually, I had died under the bandits’ attack.”

“When I killed more than ten bandits in a row and was surrounded by the leader of the bandits, I knew that I couldn’t escape,” Uncle Qi said.
“I thought of a way to block them and obtain a chance of survival.
I didn’t want to die; I still had to protect you, Young Master.
In the Chen family, with Chen Shi’an’s character… Without someone to protect you, you would’ve had a tough time.”

Uncle Qi’s eyes turned red.
“But sometimes, it’s not like you can live just because you don’t want to die.
I wasn’t strong enough and couldn’t fend them off.
That strike sliced through my chest.”

“I really didn’t want to die—I couldn’t die either.
If I die, who will protect you?” Uncle Qi said.
“Perhaps my obsession was too strong at the moment of life and death.
My body died, but my obsession remained.”

Uncle Qi chuckled.
“It was fine; I truly had the strength to protect you after becoming a demon.”

Uncle Qi gazed at Xu Jingming.
“After I became a demon, I kept a low profile in the Chen family, but I could secretly influence many things.
That’s why I could always take care of you.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

In Chen Qi’s memories, he was careful at home and didn’t dare to make his father and stepmother angry.
But in fact, Chen Qi didn’t encounter any major danger or trouble.
From the looks of it, it was all thanks to Wu Qi.

“It’s just that I never expected that you would be banished from the Chen family despite not offending anyone.” Uncle Qi shook his head.
“It’s good that you left.
With me protecting you, you could suffer less by being outside.”

“Speaking of which, fate is cruel.
Young Master, you actually received a Demon Vanquishing technique and became a Demon Vanquisher, causing the Chen family to regret it!” Uncle Qi praised.
“Young Master, you have outstanding talent in Demon Vanquishing.
You grew to this extent in just ten-plus years.
You’re already stronger than me.”

In terms of his demon body, Uncle Qi was only equivalent to an eighth-realm Heaven Demon.
He could only rely on his super-first-rate saber technique to deal with higher-realm Heaven Demons.

“Young Master, you’re stronger than me now, and your senior brother—Gu Shan—is unfathomable.” Uncle Qi sighed.
“I have nothing left to protect you.
With my strength, I’m afraid I’ll need your protection if I encounter danger.”
