Li Che served his uncle Zhang Ya freshly cooked dumplings, then opened his mouth to speak.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li Liang paused in his movements...
Cousin Liu Chunming's eyes were so filled with excitement they almost brimmed with tears.
"Really... really?"
"We can go to Dao City too?"
Liu Chunming's voice trembled, she thought Li Che would have long forgotten about them.
But to her surprise, Li Che was willing to take them along.
It goes without saying that Liu Chunming was one hundred percent willing to go to Dao City, for going there would mean better opportunities for development and cultivation for Chengzhou!
Dao City and Mansion City... there's quite a big gap between them!
Even Uncle Li Liang was somewhat trembling, as a grandfather, of course, he was willing to go for Li Chengzhou's future.
But he also worried about being too much trouble for Li Che, and besides, even in Mansion City, under the shade of Li Che and Xi Xi, Li Chengzhou could live an excellent life.
But who wouldn't want to have better prospects?
Li Che took Li Chengzhou to Jiao Shaoqiu's side.
"Elder Jiao, this is my cousin nephew, please check... does he have a chance to enter the Authentic Divine Sect's Outer Sect?"
As the Great Elder of the Outer Sect, Jiao Shaoqiu admitting one more disciple to the outer sect should be no problem.
Jiao Shaoqiu's desiccated and gnarled face bore a kindly smile.
He beckoned with his hand, felt Li Chengzhou's bones, and used the Observation Skill on him.
"Divine Talent is only that of a middle-grade Spirit Child... a bit lacking."
"To enter the outer sect of the Authentic Divine Sect, it might be somewhat forced... but his Martial Path bone structure is quite good."
"No, it seems to have the makings of a Martial Body."
Jiao Shaoqiu raised an eyebrow, looking at the meticulous charioteer, Nie Yang, by his side.
And Li Chengzhou, for reasons unknown to himself, kept staring at Nie Yang.
Nie Yang set down his chopsticks, looking towards Li Chengzhou.
Raising his hand, a sword appeared in it, and with a light flick, the sword sang crisply.
"Do you like it?"
Nie Yang asked.
Li Chengzhou pursed his lips, leaning against Li Che's leg, and repeatedly nodded his head.
Nie Yang nodded, handing the sword with its hilt wrapped in tattered cloth to Li Chengzhou.
"Hold it."
Li Chengzhou stretched out both hands, grabbed hold of the sword with difficulty, clutched it tightly, unwilling to let go.
Gradually, the sword became lighter.
Nie Yang took the sword back.
"From now on, you will learn the sword with me."
Nie Yang picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat his dumplings.
Elder Jiao stroked his beard and chuckled softly.
Upon hearing this, Li Che's lips curved slightly, patting Li Chengzhou's head gently.
"Aren't you going to address him?"
Li Chengzhou's face turned bright red, his fists clenched, he bowed deeply, and shouted, "Master!"
Whoosh—
Bang—!!!
From afar, Xi Xi screamed, lighting fireworks.
The splendid fireworks shot up to the sky, bursting into colorful light and shadows.

It was brightly lit.
On the table, there was a bowl of Xi Xi's favorite braised pig's trotters.
The young owner, with a rolled cigarette, poured a bowl of wine for the big black dog, and another for himself.
Man and dog, toasting and drinking.
Watching the fireworks.
Bidding the old year farewell and welcoming the new one.

The New Year had just ended, the snow piling up even more.
Xi Xi had completely stabilized her Temple God Divinity.
In the city, the Gong Family, Hai Family, and Gongyang Family had all arranged their caravans, planning to head to Dao City, but they ultimately decided to follow the caravan of the Golden Light Sub-sect.
After finding out the departure time, they each made their own preparations.
Falling Flower Alley.
The solitary workshop's small courtyard.
The Painted Immortal's incarnations were still diligently cultivating.
Li Che, in a robe of dark ink.
Sat quietly amidst the wind and snow.
His body was covered in a thick layer of snow.
Suddenly, his eyes opened and closed.
The snow that had fallen on him seemed to be dyed with rich, pitch-black ink...
Turning black.
Before him, streaks of light flickered slowly by.
