It was the perfect place for filth and vice to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trash can tumbled in the sewage, and Xiao Hong’s furious voice rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Miaozi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He almost got me killed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you fine now?\" A teasing voice followed immediately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I warned you not to work with someone like Miaozi. He’s very skilled with women. Did you really think he liked you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, but you didn’t listen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trash can was once again a target for someone’s anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know perfectly well what the Cheng Family does,\" a cold voice said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They run casinos and do human trafficking. Did you really think you could swindle millions from the Cheng Family with your clumsy methods?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re just the bait. Miaozi and the others are the ones doing the fishing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that Miaozi has reeled in that million, of course, he wouldn’t take the bait along. It’s only natural he’d leave you to the Cheng Family to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what do I do now?\" Xiao Hong gritted her teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sister is still in the Cheng Family’s hands. Cheng Da said he won’t release her unless I give them Miaozi or a million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go do it,\" the shadow said, revealing a middle-aged man. He held a cigarette in his mouth, exhaling smoke, and shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your skills, you could earn hundreds of thousands a year. The interest will be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Miaozi?\" Xiao Hong gritted her teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you have a way to contact him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re wrong,\" the middle-aged man shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has a way to contact me. I can’t get in touch with him. Don’t bother trying. He definitely won’t show up in the next year or two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step aside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve got business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed past Xiao Hong, greeting a figure coming from the shadows with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was hunched over, holding a bamboo cane, tapping the ground with it as he walked. It was a blind man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tap tap... tap tap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tapping paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Biao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Shao,\" Chen Biao said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right on time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" The blind man nodded, his voice hoarse:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you bring the person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did.\" Chen Biao rubbed his fingers together:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Shao, did you bring the money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man didn’t respond but extended his trembling hand, retrieving a bulging item wrapped in newspaper from his coat and handing it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three hundred thousand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Shao, you’re impressive!\" Chen Biao gave a thumbs up, took the newspaper, and opened it to reveal stacks of money inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Biao clicked his tongue and shook his head, not expecting an old street-corner fortune teller to produce so much money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t earn this money for nothing. I searched all over the country to find someone who met the requirements. I finally found one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and pulled a seven or eight-year-old boy out of the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy was skinny, wearing only a thin shirt in the cold weather, shivering as the wind blew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man turned his head, reached out, and grasped the boy’s hand, feeling his palm lines with his bony fingers. A smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man nodded and ’looked’ at the boy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid, child. Follow grandpa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice seemed to have an inexplicable magic to it, causing the boy to tremble, then gradually relax his expression and nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old and the young walked into the darkness, moving further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Xiao Hong snorted coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never thought you’d get into human trafficking too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t speak nonsense,\" Chen Biao’s eyes widened:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid is an orphan with no home. I sold him to Blind Shao. They can keep each other company. This is a good deed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Xiao Hong was skeptical:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So the blind man bought the kid to care for him in his old age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not,\" Chen Biao rubbed his chin and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He asked me to find a suitable child years ago. His requirements are special, not like he’s looking for someone to take care of him, more like finding a disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A disciple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hong’s eyes flickered, her expression suddenly changing, and she dashed in the direction the old and the young had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark corner filled with garbage, the blind man touched the boy’s face, speaking slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid. It’ll be over soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a cloth bag and laid it out to reveal needles of varying lengths, glinting in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s face showed a struggle, trying to back away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good boy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man spoke again, his voice calming the boy’s struggles and turning his fear into confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good boy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid. Grandpa will be very gentle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man sighed, gently caressing the boy’s face to find his eyes, while slowly pinching a silver needle with the other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, holding his breath, prepared to insert the needle into the boy’s pupil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a sharp shout rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blind man, I’ve called the Public Security Bureau. Let the boy go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man turned his head, his ears twitching slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That breathing... Are you the girl who was beside Chen Biao? Are you all in on this together? Trying to scam this old blind man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was agitated, growing louder, his expression becoming fierce and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s scamming you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hong instinctively took a step back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bought the boy, but you’re planning to blind him. I know your kind, exploiting your disability to beg for money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not a beggar. I’ve lived for decades never asking for anything, not even a grain of rice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve misunderstood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression softened slowly, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My kind’s skills require blindness to hone. This child is my successor; how could I harm him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hong stepped forward:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re about to blind someone’s eyes and still want to argue!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she rushed forward, grabbing the boy and shielding him behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind man stood no chance, his reaction slower than a normal person’s. He swung a bamboo cane wildly, to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inhaled deeply, speaking calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What will it take for you to trust me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need for me to trust you,\" Xiao Hong replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the Public Security Bureau arrives, convince them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss,\" the blind man shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think you’re saving this boy? His life is full of misfortune, plagued by disease. Without taking him under the blind man’s wing, he won’t live past nine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m saving him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hong snorted disdainfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\" the blind man thought for a moment, cautiously extending his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, let me hold your hand and read your fortune. Then you’ll know if the old blind man is truthful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh...\" Xiao Hong chuckled, about to refuse, but saw another figure suddenly appear, nodding to her gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer was Fang Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hong raised an eyebrow, extending her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-09T06:29:55.938Z",1,"novelbin.me","818a057f03f58070cd91407d02db5b279da82a807589775f80743c671d641906","celestial-master-i-have-an-otherworld-chapter-414","celestial-master-i-have-an-otherworld-chapter-412",488,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcelestial-master-i-have-an-otherworld-cover.jpg"]
