Last night, when he stepped out, Uncle had come to his protection unbidden, giving Wen Yan an immense sense of security. This sense of security became incredibly strong, especially upon discovering that Uncle could even exchange a few moves with Qin Kun and had managed to outsmart him, all while relying on his astonishing recovery abilities.
He feared encountering a situation where he wouldn't have time to call for Uncle and would be taken out in a single move, while Uncle still strictly adhered to their agreement not to act unless called.
Given Uncle's current level of Spiritual Intelligence, that was indeed likely.
Wen Yan didn't quite understand why Uncle had taken the initiative to protect him last night.
Zhang Laoxi dressed Uncle in a hooded cloak, had him sit in his pickup truck, and drove straight to their destination.
