It was quiet—so quiet that it was terrifying.
This time, everyone looked at Shu Ke in confusion.
The old man was also stunned for a long time before he finally reacted. “Kid, I’m sure I’ve never seen you before!”

“Shu Ke, you’re trash. Do you really think you’re some big shot?”
“This is our Vincent family’s guest. How dare you!”
“If you dare to say another word, I will immediately kick you out!”
Now only did everyone react. They shouted angrily at Shu Ke.
Shu Ke looked at the old man with an indifferent expression. He completely ignored these people’s shouts.
“Old man, I didn’t mean that. What I meant was that your eyes have some hidden diseases, right?”
Shu Ke looked left and right. He acted mysteriously as he said in a low voice, “For example, if you practice some Dou techniques, magic will cause your left eye to hurt every night.”
‘Huh!?’
The expression of the old man who was smiling earlier suddenly changed. He immediately grabbed Shu Ke’s shoulder and said, “Follow me!”
Both Shu Ke and the old man had disappeared before everyone’s eyes in a blur of motion.
“This…”
Now, they didn’t know what to do?
But in the end, they decided to inform the elders before making a decision.
On the other side, Shu Ke was directly brought to the small garden behind the treasury by the old man.
“Kid, who exactly are you?”
The old man grabbed Shu Ke’s shoulder with one hand, and his eyes flickered with a fierce light.
It was as if he would kill Shu Ke on the spot if Shu Ke gave the wrong answer.
“I’m Shu Ke, Shu Ke Vincent.”

“I was in charge of guarding the treasury seven years ago. I know most of the juniors of the Vincent family. How come I’ve never seen you before!?”
The old man grinned coldly as if he was mocking Shu Ke for not being able to tell a lie.
“Old man, I am indeed a member of the Vincent family—at least for now.”
He would definitely cut ties with the Vincent family, but not now.
He still had many things to figure out in the Vincent family, so he could not break away from the family now.
“At least for now…”
The old man picked up the hint from Shu Ke’s words and immediately realized something. He said with a strange smile, “You are the child they mentioned—the one who cannot perform cultivation training? You hid it well enough!”
Certainly, the old man could figure the depth of Shu Ke’s strength.
A mid-tier Dou practitioner was nothing at this age.
However, it was definitely not applicable to some trash who could not perform cultivation.
The only explanation was that Shu Ke had been hiding his strength. He deliberately let others think that he was a piece of trash.
There were many reasons for him to do so, especially the disappearance of Shu Ke’s parents. This was the most convincing reason.
“I—”
Shu Ke opened his mouth—wanting to explain something, but he held it back in the end.
Forget it!
It was better to avoid trouble. Since the old man was willing to think so, it saved Shu Ke the trouble of explaining himself.
“Tell me, how did you know that I had a problem with my left eye?”
The old man was obviously not interested in the trivial matters of the Vincent family. He was just someone who worked for money.
Therefore, compared to gossiping about the Vincent family’s business—he was more concerned about his eye disease.
“It’s just my intuition.”
Since Shu Ke dared to speak just now, he had already thought of an excuse.
“Well, it’s just my intuition. I subconsciously feel that there should be something wrong with your left eye and it has something to do with your way of cultivation.”
“Really?!”
The old man looked at Shu Ke with doubt. The old man had heard of a talent who could see through others’ weaknesses by relying on intuition. But he had never seen such a talent.
Yet, Shu Ke’s words had shown he was likely to be one of those people.
The old man remained skeptical. However, although he did not believe it, there was no other explanation that could explain Shu Ke’s situation clearly.
“It’s absolutely true!”
Shu Ke nodded heavily as he finally gained the trust of the old man.
“Then do you know how to solve this problem?”
After confirming it, the old man was desperate. He grabbed Shu Ke’s wrist and asked him for a solution.
“This…”
Shu Ke fell into hesitation when he heard that.
He still did not know whether he could use the flaw-repair function from the system on others.
“You’re only a mid-tier Dou practitioner. Even the royal family’s personal healer can’t cure it. What can you do?”
Before Shu Ke could speak, the old man shook his head in disappointment and let out a long sigh.
“System, can the repair function be used on others?”
Looking at the old man’s dejected back, Shu Ke somehow felt a little compassion.
Moreover, if he really wanted to take revenge on the Vincent family and investigate the truth, he would need help.
Since the old man in front of him could receive such courtesy from the Vincent family, he must be a powerful person. If Shu Ke could get his help, his future plans would be much easier.
It was because of these considerations that Shu Ke decided to help the old man.
‘You can’t.’

The system’s cold words interrupted Shu Ke’s unrealistic fantasy.
But then it immediately continued, ‘But I can tell you the method to repair it. You can tell the other party about it.’

“How many energy points do you need?”
Shu Ke knew the system to some extent. Everything came at a price. This would definitely cost energy points.
“It requires 400 energy points.”
The system did not hold back and directly marked the price.
Shu Ke looked at his energy points. It seemed that he would use up all of them if he spent on this.
He seriously suspected that the system was targeting his energy points!
“Old man, I might have a way.”
Shu Ke thought for a moment and finally decided to spend the 400 energy points.
“Really?!”
When the old man heard this, he immediately grabbed Shu Ke. His whole body was trembling as he looked at Shu Ke with excitement.
“I’ll try my best.”
Shu Ke did not dare to guarantee it would work.
“It’s good to try, it’s good to try.”
When the old man heard this, he immediately calmed down.
However, it was not hard to see from his anxious expression that he still had great expectations for Shu Ke.
After all, this was the first person who could tell at a glance that his left eye had a hidden disease.
“System, let’s begin.”
Shu Ke took a deep breath, and a glazed luster appeared in the depths of his eyes. Instantly, all the flaws on the old man’s body—no matter big or small—were reflected in his eyes.
Especially his left eye, the system had analyzed it thoroughly.
What kind of injury was it? What state was he in now? What dangers would he face in the future? Everything was clear to Shu Ke!
“Ooo~”
When the old man saw Shu Ke’s serious expression, he could not help but become nervous. He gulped anxiously.
“I’ve found it!” Suddenly, Shu Ke shouted loudly, scaring the old man so much that his entire body trembled.
But then, he looked at Shu Ke with an excited expression. “You’ve found a solution!?”
