Qin Shaoyang's humble words showed he knew how to conduct himself, which made Aunt Zhang Yuzhen very pleased. Now that she had changed her youngest son's diaper and the baby was clean and quiet, she finally had a chance to speak more freely: "What you said is absolutely right. If you have the chance, learn from your senior sisters and Senior Brother Ye. Your father will be proud of you in the future."

As they talked, they all went up the mountain together.

Upon reaching the top of the cliff, Wei Shiwu called his younger sister, Wei Wenshi, and quietly bid farewell to his senior sister and Ye Liang.

There are rules on Bixian Mountain that men are not allowed to linger.

Wei Shiwu is deliberately avoiding suspicion.

Letting Wei Shiwu go down the mountain was a matter of principle; refusing to let him stay was a favor.

Between rules and personal relationships, Ye Liang prioritized personal relationships, urging Wei Shiwu to stay for lunch before heading down the mountain, saying, "Brother Wei, it's getting late, you should at least have lunch before going back. Besides, even if you're not hungry, my junior sister Wen Shi is, and she needs lunch too. Why don't you stay for lunch before you leave? It's alright, I'm here on the mountain, as are Brother Qin, and Uncle Yang too. Brother Shiwu, don't feel uncomfortable at all."

After Ye Liang said that, Wei Shiwu couldn't refuse. After all, Ye Liang meant well. Although he didn't say it, he was still very excited. Ye Liang still thought highly of him.

He still made an excuse and said, "Uncle Yang is here too. I'll go and chat with him first. I'm quite familiar with Uncle Yang."

Ye Liang smiled and said to him, "Uncle Yang told me that if you weren't the village chief's son, with a noble status and high standards, looking down on the blacksmithing craft, Uncle Yang would actually be very happy to take you as his apprentice. Just like how Junior Sister Wen Shi was taken as an apprentice by Granny Jin and Uncle Qian."

"Well, let's talk about that later." Wei Shiwu felt quite embarrassed saying this. He used to think that all other professions were inferior, and only being a village scion was the highest.

Now, having learned more from Ye Liang and gained knowledge of the path of cultivation, he suddenly realized that he had been too arrogant and unapproachable before.

I suddenly felt a little regretful.
