Lu Xuelian nodded happily.

"Okay, Grandma agrees."

Lu Xuelian was extremely excited; being able to feed Su Tiantian five bites was enough to satisfy her little experience.

Lu Xuelian broke off a small piece of steamed bun and gently held it to Su Tiantian's lips, her voice full of affection: "Tiantian, time to eat your steamed bun, ah—"

Su Tiantian opened her mouth and then cooperated very well: "The steamed buns that the pretty grandma fed me are so delicious, so fragrant and sweet."

Hearing that soft, cute voice, Lu Xuelian felt a warmth in her heart.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Zhao Zhiyuan initially thought this action was childish, but as he watched, he became itchy to do the same.

Seeing that Lu Xuelian had fed her three bites, he couldn't hold back any longer and immediately said, "Let me feed Tiantian the last two bites."

He also wanted to experience what it's like to be a grandfather.

Lu Xuelian understood her husband. Although she was reluctant, she gave the steamed bun to Zhao Zhiyuan and went to peel eggs.

"Come on, Grandpa's feeding Tiantian some steamed buns..."

Zhao Zhiyuan mimicked Lu Xuelian's tone.

Hearing the tone of voice used to coax a baby, Su Tiantian blushed with embarrassment.

"The steamed buns that Grandpa fed me smelled so good and were so sweet. Thank you, Grandpa."

After praising him, Su Tiantian immediately took the steamed bun from Zhao Zhiyuan's hand and started eating it herself.

Since she learned to use chopsticks, she no longer needs her family to feed her.

Hearing the tone of her voice as she soothed the baby, she was genuinely embarrassed.

Fortunately, they didn't intend to keep feeding her, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to keep up the lie.

After they finished eating and tidying up, Zhao Zhiyuan personally drove Lu Xuelian and Su Tiantian to Lin the Blind's house.

Lu Xuelian, sitting in the back seat, asked with concern after a short while, "Is Tiantian thirsty?"

Su Tiantian shook her head.

After a while, Lu Xuelian asked again, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Su Tiantian shook her head again.

After a while, Lu Xuelian asked again, "Did you get carsick?"

Su Tiantian shook her head again.

"Beautiful grandma, I'm a good baby. I'll tell you if I'm not feeling well."

Su Tiantian is healthy, eats well, and doesn't throw tantrums like many other children, making her one of the easiest kids to take care of.

Lu Xuelian said gently, "Then tell Grandma what you want."

Lu Xuelian thought Su Tiantian would need a lot of care and attention, but to her surprise, Su Tiantian didn't need any of it.

She would be curious about the scenery outside the window, but after looking at it for a while, she would get sleepy and go to sleep.

And when I woke up, I was at the foot of the mountain.

Lin the Blind lives far from the city center, a five-hour drive away, so they will rest here tonight.

Autumn scenery is the most beautiful.

The alternation of yellow and green colors represents the changing seasons.

There is a courtyard house halfway up the mountain. Cars can only go halfway up the mountain and can't go any further. You have to get out of the car and walk.

Zhao Zhiyuan put on his backpack.

Lu Xuelian reached out to hug Su Tiantian: "Tiantian, come here, Grandma will hug you."

Su Tiantian waved her hand repeatedly, jumped out of the car, and ran towards the side road.

"I'll walk by myself."

If she were a little smaller, she would still be very happy to be held.

The path was clean, the weeds around it showed signs of being trimmed, and the surface was flat.

But on the way up the mountain, Su Tiantian was sweating profusely.

She looked down at her chubby belly and a thought popped into her head: she had to lose weight!

As Su Tiantian approached the entrance of the courtyard house, she heard the sounds of chickens and ducks.

Su Tiantian shouted at the top of her lungs, "Uncle Lin, I'm here!"

Su Tiantian's voice was clear and crisp, and the door was opened quickly.

Wow—are you still Uncle Lin?

Su Tiantian looked at Blind Lin in surprise.

Lin the Blind was a little shy, but his expression remained calm as he said, "Don't judge a book by its cover. Don't look at me with such shallow eyes."

Since you're about to become an apprentice, you should dress smartly and present yourself properly.

He takes rituals very seriously. He even moved the spiders to a new home and cleaned the chickens inside and outside the house, which shows his sincerity.

Su Tiantian chuckled.

"Woof woof—"

A black dog jumped out and barked softly twice.

"Heimi recognizes people; from now on, he'll be her little master."

Lin the Blind gently stroked the dog's head. This was his dog, and it was quite clever. It hadn't barked loudly even on their first meeting, which was very good. He would reward it with a chicken foot when he stewed chicken later.

Black Rice bounced around Su Tiantian, making whimpering sounds through its nose, its tail practically wagging wildly.

Others couldn't understand it, but in Su Tiantian's ears, Heimi's humming automatically turned into speaking.

[Little master, little master, I love you, I love you so much!]

Su Tiantian smiled and patted Heimi: "Hello Heimi, my name is Su Tiantian, thank you for liking me."

"Master Lin, we've come to disturb you."

When Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian arrived at the door, Zhao Zhiyuan politely greeted Lin the Blind.

Blind Lin waved his hand dismissively: "Don't bother us, come in."

There must be a witness to his and his apprentice's formal apprenticeship.

Su Luo and Liu Xiaohua are Su Tiantian's relatives.

Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian were just bystanders.

Black Rice wiggled its bottom and circled around Lu Xuelian and Zhao Zhiyuan to remember their scents, then immediately returned to Su Tiantian's side and circled around her.

The courtyard is very large, more than 200 square meters. The courtyard is paved with cement, firewood is piled under the eaves, and there is a washing pool with water drawn down from the mountain.

There were also some stools and a stone table.

There was a wooden rack where some peanuts and chestnuts were drying.

Lin the Blind said to Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian, "You two can stay in the room on the right. The beds are all made up."

“Sweetie lives next door to you. Just have Black Rice guard the door for her at night.”

Lin the Blind had already made arrangements; everything was brand new.

Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian nodded and went to their room to pack their things.

Blind Lin showed Su Tiantian around the courtyard house.

He showed her his library, which contained pictures of various magical artifacts, enough to dazzle Su Tiantian's eyes.

Su Tiantian never expected that Blind Lin had so many treasures.

"These are nothing. Once you become my apprentice, what's mine is yours."

Lin the Blind was very confident that he could win over Su Tiantian. These were his family heirlooms. His lineage had fallen into poverty and was on the verge of collapse by his generation, especially since he was blind.

If he has no apprentices, he will donate these things to the Special Operations Department when he passes away.

But if you have apprentices, what use is the Special Affairs Department?

"Then let's take a look at the rules for becoming an apprentice first."

Su Tiantian was tempted, but she still didn't forget her principles.

Lin the Blind took out a notebook, which he had been organizing day and night for the past few days, writing down everything he could think of.

"I don't have many rules, just this little book..."

Lin the Blind Man calmly stroked his short beard, already imagining life after becoming an apprentice.

Su Tiantian took it, opened it, and immediately pouted.

"Isn't that enough?"

She didn't know many characters, but she could tell the amount of writing; every page was full. She only glanced at it before losing interest.

Nothing, no matter how good, appealed to her anymore. Her two chubby little hands waved rapidly: "I won't learn, I won't become an apprentice..."
