"There's nothing to be surprised about. Three of my uncles died before I was even born. Now, the only ones still alive are my fourth and sixth uncles," Xie Sisi said.
"My sixth uncle lost a leg and has a job at the Star Martial Hall in Tong City. It's... a way for him to live out his later years, I suppose. My fourth uncle is the one who climbed highest among the seven; he's a regimental commander in the Pioneering Legion."
"He's at the Star Cloud Stage cultivation level and has over a hundred Star Martial Warriors under his command. That's why my cousin is better off than me; he often gets Soul Beads from our uncle. Last summer, my fourth uncle's family hosted a banquet."
"My cousin successfully broke through to the Star Shine Stage. He's half a year younger than me but in the same grade. Reaching the Star Shine Stage means he's practically guaranteed a spot in a fairly well-known Star Martial Academy. If he does well, he could even get into a top-tier one."
