Yuan Siwu had never imagined it would be this easy. All he could say was that Zhao Zhu had read the situation perfectly.
The one who came really was Yuan Sheng. Had it been anyone else, they might have had to go through a great deal of trouble.
Now that Yuan Sheng had entered the Refining Spirit and Returning to Void Realm, avenging the Yuan Family was truly just around the corner.
"Congratulations, Second Elder," Zhao Zhu said as he rose. "The Yuan Family now has a genius in the Refining Spirit and Returning to Void Realm. This is your chance to restore the family's glory!"
Yuan Siwu smiled and nodded. Exactly! With Yuan Sheng here, things would only go more smoothly for the Yuan Family.
Zhao Zhu certainly knew how to speak tactfully, too. In private, he called Yuan Siwu his older cousin; when others were present, he addressed him as Second Elder.

"There will be plenty of chances later. Since we're brothers, helping each other is only natural," Zhao Zhu replied.
Yuan Sheng had never met Zhao Zhu before. Whenever the Yuan Family needed medicinal ingredients, other members of the Zhao family usually came.

Yuan Sheng nodded. "My condolences."
"It's all right. Birth, aging, illness, and death are all part of life," Zhao Zhu replied. "Few people in my family cultivate. We're used to these things."
