Wei Chiyu considered Yuan Zhengchun as his master. He had indeed treated him as his master.

Later, Yuan Zhengchun left Boyu Village. However, no matter where he went or how far away he was, Wei Chiyu would always visit him during festivals.

Yuan Zhengchun also liked Wei Chiyu very much and cherished his talent, so he tacitly agreed to Wei Chiyu calling him master.

However, he made it clear that Wei Chiyu was not his disciple yet. If he wanted to enter the sect, he had to wait until he had taken in his first disciple.

“Oh, I see.”

After hearing all this, Zhou Xiaoli first lamented that Wei Chiyu was such a loyal person.

Then, she felt sympathetic to Wei Chiyu for the childhood that he had.

She had not expected his childhood to be even more tragic than she had imagined.

Just as Zhou Xiaoli was sympathizing with Wei Chiyu for his traumatic childhood experience, she suddenly heard him say something.

“Therefore, I have to thank my Senior Sister for finally letting me enter the sect.”

Wei Chiyu cupped his hands and greeted Zhou Xiaoli. His attitude was impeccable.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but thinking about it, Zhou Xiaoli felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Yuan Zhengchun shook the tea in his hand and smiled boldly. “Stop standing in the courtyard. There’s nothing to see. Do you want to come in and have a cup of tea with me?”

That immediately took Zhou Xiaoli’s attention. She immediately smiled and said, “Alright, Master. What kind of tea is this?”

Yuan Zhengchun immediately showed off proudly. “This is good tea. I got it from the Northern Court.”

Zhou Xiaoli’s interest was piqued. “Oh, really? Then I’ll have a taste.”

Yongchang Country has always liked tea, and tea culture is very prevalent and animated, especially tea from the Northern Court area.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoli’s glowing eyes, Yuan Zhengchun held the tea tightly. “I only have this much. Don’t drink it all.”

“Master, you’re so stingy. I also received some good tea leaves a few days ago. Let me compare whose tea is better, Master’s, or mine.”

Yuan Zhengchun said without hesitation, “Of course, the better one would be mine.”

“Not necessarily.” Zhou Xiaoli was not to be outdone.

Thus, the master and disciple began to quarrel.

Wei Chiyu, who had been forgotten, said, “Master, I’ll boil the water.”

“Ah, alright, alright. Go, go.” Yuan Zhengchun paused for a moment and waved at Wei Chiyu.

Then, he continued the discussion with Zhou Xiaoli.

“I can guarantee that your tea is definitely not as good as mine.”

“I don’t think so. Although my tea is not famous yet, it might not lose to the tea from the Northern Court.”

With that, the master and disciple entered the room together.

Wei Chiyu silently carried a bundle of firewood into the kitchen to boil water.

After a while, Wei Chiyu came in with hot water.

After the three of them sat down, Yuan Zhengchun began to cook tea.

As he finalized the last step of the tea ceremony, the fragrance of the tea wafted out.

“Mm, Master, you’re really good at cooking tea.” Zhou Xiaoli took a sip and was quite amazed.

“Hahaha, of course.” Yuan Zhengchun, who was praised, raised his head proudly. “The main thing is that the tea is good. How is it? Is it better than yours?”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli shook her head. “No, I still think my tea is more fragrant.”

It was obvious that Yuan Zhengchun did not believe her.

Zhou Xiaoli said, “Why don’t I bring up a tael of the tea leaves another day? I guarantee that Master will remember it for life.”

Upon hearing that there were new tea leaves for him to try, Yuan Zhengchun immediately perked up and agreed.

“Oh, you dare to say that yours is better? Alright, I’ll wait. I hope you won’t disappoint me when the time comes.”

“Definitely not.”

The three of them chatted for a while more. Seeing that it was getting late, Yuan Zhengchun was about to chase them home.

“Come on, go now. You’re going to finish all my tea.”

The two of them smiled and said goodbye to their master. Then, they left Yuan Zhengchun’s courtyard and walked side by side along the mountain path. They were silent for a long time.

Zhou Xiaoli turned to look at him and could not help but think of a five-year-old child going up the mountain alone and looking for food in the snow.

“What’s wrong?”

Wei Chiyu’s voice interrupted Zhou Xiaoli’s thoughts.

She pursed her lower lip. “You. That.”

Zhou Xiaoli didn’t bring up the sad past in the end.

Instead, she changed it to a question. “What have you learned from the Master all these years? Have you also learned fortune-telling and divination?”

Wei Chiyu shook his head. “No. Master said that there are too many tribulations in my life, and it’s not suitable for me to learn divination.”

“Oh, I see.” Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli nodded.

Indeed, divination was considered as revealing Heaven’s secrets. One would be punished by the Heavens for it.

Therefore, ordinary metaphysics people would commit five faults and three deficiencies.

...

The so-called five faults were none other than “widower, widow, orphan, loner, and disabled.” To put it bluntly, three deficiencies refers to the three disadvantages of wealth, life, and power.

For example, Yuan Zhengchun’s legs were crippled and he had committed the fault of “disabled”.

Then, she looked at the man beside her.

His appearance was actually quite strange. At a glance, there were indeed many calamities in his life. Moreover, they were all extremely dangerous calamities. However, there was a hidden turning point amidst the difficulties.

She patted her chest and said, “Don’t be sad. It’s a good thing that you don’t want to learn. I’ll protect you in the future!”

The corners of Wei Chiyu’s mouth twitched when he heard her bold statement.

As they spoke, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the grass beside the road move. In an instant, a small wolf rushed out and ran straight towards Zhou Xiaoli.

“Ah, Little Wolf.”

Zhou Xiaoli was pleasantly surprised. She couldn’t help but squat down and rub the wolf cub’s head.

“Are you here to pick me up?”

...

“Howl~”

Little Wolf barked as if in response.

“Wow, Little Wolf is awesome!”

At this moment, Wei Chiyu suddenly said, “I’m afraid it just happened to be back from its hunt.”

As he spoke, he looked at the wild rabbit that the wolf cub had thrown aside.

“Ow!”

The wolf cub instantly bared its teeth at Wei Chiyu.

Zhou Xiaoli seemed to understand instantly. “Oh, you’re saying that you’re waiting for me here after your hunt?”

“Howl~”

“Aiya, the little wolf is awesome. Let’s go home. I’ll make you something delicious, okay?”

Wei Chiyu: “…”

Thus, the two of them and the wolf slowly walked home under the setting sun.

When they entered the village, they could see that the village was very lively. Lai Jinniang had just finished the ritual.

After the three trips, her knees were probably bleeding by now.

This was only physical pain. More importantly, there was the mental torture as well.

Zhou Guihua couldn’t take it anymore. She ran away before she finished her first trip.

Lai Jinniang didn’t want to do it alone, but she was so afraid of the bad luck that the pearl brought, so she pulled her eldest daughter-in-law out instead.

“Let’s go, Little Wolf.” Zhou Xiaoli took one glance at them and no longer paid attention to them.

At night.

After a busy day, everyone was tired. As soon as it was dark, the family went to bed.

After the sound of even breathing and snoring came from the room, Zhou Xiaoli quietly got out of bed.

She put on her coat, opened the door, and stepped out into the night.
