Chapter 304: The Martial Uncle Is a Ruined Man

Chen Qingdi spent two days on Medical God Island, his mind unable to find peace. He thought of his Uncle-Master, Wu Tian, a man who had once left him feeling helpless.

This man had once been his Uncle-Master, but now he was an utter wreck.

Ever since he was castrated, Wu Tian had been doing hard labor here, living a life worse than death.

Chen Qingdi decided to visit Wu Tian again. He crossed the main courtyard of Medical God Island and arrived before a dilapidated house.

This was the residence for Wu Tian and the other wrecks. Chen Qingdi entered the room and was assaulted by a foul stench. Holding his breath, he scanned the room for any sign of Wu Tian.

Finally, he saw the man he had once admired. Wu Tian was kneeling on the floor, his eyes staring blankly ahead.

His body was gaunt, as if life had been tortured out of him. The moment he saw Chen Qingdi, terror filled his eyes.

He kowtowed and begged, "Cyan Emperor, I beg you, please spare me."

A pang of pity shot through Chen Qingdi’s heart. He sighed and said, "Uncle-Master, I know your situation is difficult, but I don’t want to see you go on like this."

"You are a talented man. You were once my role model. But now you’ve become a eunuch, and that forces me to reconsider your position."

A flash of sorrow crossed Wu Tian’s eyes. He whispered, "I’m already a wreck. I have no right to face the world again."

"No, you still have a chance," Chen Qingdi said. "I can give you an opportunity to leave this island and start your life over. You can come work as a manager at my Mingyue Group and live a normal life."

Wu Tian trembled slightly at his words. He looked up at Chen Qingdi, his eyes flickering with hesitation.

He knew he could no longer father children and had lost his dignity as a man. If he left Medical God Island, he would only become a laughingstock.

"Thank you, Cyan Emperor." Wu Tian kowtowed. "But I cannot leave this island."

"Why?" Chen Qingdi asked, confused. "Is there something you can’t let go of?"

"I still have responsibilities here," Wu Tian said. "Even though I’m a wreck, I can’t forget the people who showed me great kindness."

Chen Qingdi fell silent, his heart filling with regret as he looked at the man before him.

This man was once a powerful warrior, yet now he was a wreck with no dignity. But deep down, he still held on to a sense of persistence and loyalty.

"Alright, Uncle-Master," Chen Qingdi said, taking a deep breath.

"I will let the people at Mingyue Group know about you. I’ll tell them you are a man of profound experience and talent. If the opportunity arises, I will have them take you out to see the world."

Gratitude flickered in Wu Tian’s eyes. He knew Chen Qingdi was already making a huge concession for him, a kindness he would never forget.

「On that pleasant, sunny spring afternoon」

Chen Qingdi was in a particularly light and cheerful mood. He sat on a wicker chair in the garden, holding a cup of tea, and started to joke with Wu Tian.

"Wu Tian, you’re a reasonable man, so let’s have your Second Wife come see you. It’s time for you two to catch up," Chen Qingdi said with a chuckle.

A wave of doubt washed over Wu Tian. He looked at Chen Qingdi uncertainly, trying to find any trace of mockery on his face. But Chen Qingdi wore only a benevolent smile, leaving Wu Tian unable to tell if he was being serious.

"Will you really help me find my Second Wife?" Wu Tian asked cautiously.

"Of course. I’ll call Lone Wolf right now and have him bring your Second Wife to you." As he spoke, Chen Qingdi pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

A short while later, Lone Wolf appeared in the garden with a lavishly dressed woman. She was tall, with delicate features—it was Wu Tian’s Second Wife, Dugu Qiuyue.

An intense wave of emotion surged through Wu Tian when he saw Dugu Qiuyue. He once thought he had lost her forever. Seeing her again filled him with immense joy.

However, Dugu Qiuyue’s reaction cut him like a knife. She shot him a disgusted glance and said, "I don’t want to see this... thing that’s neither man nor woman again."

Wu Tian froze, unable to believe his ears. He fell to his knees before Chen Qingdi, pleading desperately, "Mr. Chen, please help me..."

Chen Qingdi looked at Wu Tian’s pathetic state and felt a twinge of pity. But he hardened his heart and said coldly, "Wu Tian, in your current state, what right do you have to make demands? You need to understand, you brought all of this upon yourself."

Wu Tian’s head drooped limply. He knew Chen Qingdi was right. In his current state, he had no way to fight back. His dignity had been completely shattered, and he no longer had the courage to face Dugu Qiuyue.

"Mr. Chen, I’m begging you..." Wu Tian pleaded again.

"Enough!" Chen Qingdi suddenly roared. "Wu Tian, you could have had a wonderful family, but you lost it all because of your own foolishness and greed. Now you have only two paths: one is to scrape by, just barely living; the other is to pull yourself together and find a life of your own."

Wu Tian was silent for a moment. Then he looked up at Chen Qingdi, a determined light shining in his eyes.

"I will pull myself together," Wu Tian said. "I will find a life of my own."

Chen Qingdi nodded. "Good. I believe you have it in you."

Then, Chen Qingdi called over Lone Wolf and Dugu Qiuyue. "You two, take him to get a haircut and a change of clothes. Then get him something to eat and let him get some proper rest."

"Yes, sir," Lone Wolf and Dugu Qiuyue replied in unison. They turned and walked toward Wu Tian, preparing to lead him out of the garden.

Watching them leave, Chen Qingdi smiled faintly. ’I hope you remember today’s lesson.’

「One day, not long after」

Wu Tian arrived at Chen Qingdi’s office. He looked revitalized, a complete change from his former dejected state. He wore a well-fitting suit and his hair was cut short, giving him a clean and sharp appearance.

Chen Qingdi was very pleased to see him like this. He smiled and asked, "Wu Tian, are you ready?"

Wu Tian nodded. "I am."

In Chen Qingdi’s office, faint sunlight filtered through the window, dappling the intricately carved wooden desk. Lone Wolf sat quietly opposite him, a look of deep contemplation in his eyes.

Chen Qingdi put down the document in his hand and said with a smile, "Lone Wolf, have you thought it through? Are you willing to follow me back to Mingyue Group and work as a manager?"
