The Taoist priest said, "I support you having a baby. Otherwise, it would be so boring for just the few of us to stay in this deep mountain every day!"

"Yes! I know you're worried about Xiaohan, but we're here for you! We have everything you need!"

"Do you think we, a few people, would let Xiaohan suffer? We can just have Yunyun come and stay for a while, can't we?" Grandpa Zhao said.

Lu Chuan asked uncertainly, "Is it really okay?"

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Don't worry! After you take the medicine, you can start preparing for pregnancy. Let's try to have a healthy baby next year."

"Okay, we'll do as you say," Xu Han said happily.

In fact, Xu Han herself really wanted to have a baby with Lu Chuan. She originally thought that this would be seven or eight years later, but she didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Suddenly everything was perfect and complete; all that was left was to wait for the baby to arrive.

After saying that, the group stopped chatting. It was getting late, so they went to wash up at different times.

While the others were away, the Taoist priest spoke up, "How about it, Old Zhao? Isn't this place nice? The girl and Lu Chuan are both good people. Isn't this better than us working for others in the capital?"

"Yes! It's not bad to live an ordinary life in your later years. It's better than worrying every day about when you might offend someone powerful and lose your life."

Dr. Zhao lay back in his recliner, took a deep breath, and said with ease.

"You still don't want to come with me? Would I lie to you?"

"We're getting old. Let the younger generation take the lead in the future! The two of us will stay here and take care of the rest. As for what will happen in the future, we can't control that anymore."

"Yes! We should also think about enjoying a peaceful life, but then again, as long as we are still in the capital or elsewhere, we can't escape the struggle for power."

"You and I are both important figures they are vying to win over. Rather than paving the way for others and living in constant anxiety, it's better to stay out of the spotlight!" the Taoist priest said.

"Yes! You're so thoughtful."

"If it weren't for the fact that you were living alone there in such a pitiful state, I wouldn't have brought you here!" the Taoist priest said arrogantly.

"Alright, alright, I'll consider it a favor I owe you! But are Yunhua and Yunyun really capable of handling this? I'm genuinely a little worried." Doctor Zhao changed the subject again.

"Young people should be allowed to explore and experience things on their own. They will never grow up without going through some experiences. With Yunhua by Yunyun's side, you can rest assured!"

"Don't let Yunhua's seemingly carefree nature fool you; don't forget, he's my eldest disciple. How could he be anything but excellent?"

"Okay, okay, I'll trust you one more time." After saying that, he stopped talking.

As night deepened, the group tidied up and rested. The four of them had traveled for a long time and were all exhausted. Xu Han and Lu Chuan, unusually, fell asleep early.

The next morning, when Xu Han got up, Zhao Yunyun was still asleep! She tiptoed out of the room, and as soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Lu Chuan and Yun Hua gesturing in the yard!

Xu Han rubbed her forehead, inwardly cursing, "Lu Chuan, are you stupid? His master is so powerful, how could he be any less skilled? If you spar with him, aren't you just making yourself his target?"

However, Xu Han ultimately didn't say it aloud. Men, after all, all like these things. After greeting the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao, she went into the kitchen.

When Grandpa Zhao saw Xu Han walking towards the kitchen, he followed her in.

"Grandpa Zhao, are you thirsty? Let me pour you a glass of water!" Xu Han said.

"No need, Xiao Han, don't bother. I saw you come in to cook, so I came to help you with the fire."

"No need, Grandpa Zhao, I can manage on my own. You should go and rest for a while!" Xu Han quickly said.

"Don't kick me out! Even though I'm old, I can't just eat and drink for free! Otherwise, what would that look like!"

It's fine if it's just for a day or two, but if you have to cook for so many people every day, it's not an easy job, and few people can handle it.

Besides, I'm just sitting here tending the fire; I'm not doing any heavy work, so please don't stand on ceremony."

"Alright then! You help me start the fire, and I'll make pancakes for everyone." Xu Han said and then got to work.

While making pancakes, I heard Yunhua outside say, "Lu Chuan, I didn't expect you to be so skilled! You actually managed to withstand three moves from me, not bad, not bad."

Then, in a smug tone, he said, "You definitely can't beat me, but you're already much better than other ordinary martial artists."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan humbly replied, "I'm barely making ends meet; how can I compare to you!"

At this moment, the Taoist priest also spoke up, saying, "You lad, you have good bones and muscles. You'll learn more from me in the future. Although you started learning late, you'll definitely improve a lot after practicing for a while."

At least if you encounter someone skilled, you won't have to run away. Hahahaha!

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan instantly became excited. "Really? Daoist Master, you are really willing to guide me?"

When Xu Han heard Lu Chuan say this, she couldn't help but think that men's happiness was so simple: to meet someone better than themselves who was willing to give them guidance was better than anything else.

"Take it or leave it. If you don't want to learn, it'll save me trouble!" The Taoist priest said arrogantly, his ego spiking out of his head again.

“Lu Chuan! You should learn from the Taoist priest. A few pointers from him will be enough for you to practice for a long time,” Grandpa Zhao said.

"My master doesn't easily accept disciples, you're lucky," Yunhua said sourly.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely study hard," Lu Chuan immediately changed his tune.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't call me that! I haven't even formally accepted you as my disciple yet!" the Taoist priest quickly said.

Lu Chuan just scratched his head and chuckled, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Han quickly grabbed a spatula and chimed in, "Lu Chuan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and kowtow to your master and offer him tea."

Grandpa Zhao also kindly brought out a chair and pressed the Taoist priest down to sit on it.

Zhao Yunyun, who had woken up at some unknown time, was also very helpful, bringing Lu Chuan a cup of tea from somewhere.

Seeing that everyone was so supportive, Lu Chuan didn't hesitate and knelt down in front of the Taoist priest, saying, "Master, please have some tea."

In the end, under everyone's watchful eyes, the Taoist priest accepted the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

And just like that, the initiation ceremony ended in a daze, so fast that it was as if it had never happened.

After the ceremony, those who needed to start a fire did so, and those who needed to cook did so.

Yunhua, her face contorted with jealousy, stood motionless in place.
