Spring gave way to autumn.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
Aaron emerged from the Li Family Inn with a cheerful smile, carrying a basket of red eggs. A daughter-in-law of the Li Family had become pregnant and given birth to a big, healthy boy, leaving Second Aunt Li so delighted she could not close her mouth. She had laid out another feast and entertained a host of guests.
Aaron had also contributed greatly to Li Xiao's wife giving birth... Of course, that did not mean he had played the groom night after night. Rather, he had prescribed many pregnancy-preserving remedies, and when she suffered a difficult labor, it was a pregnancy-preserving pill that had saved both mother and child.
For women of this era, childbirth was a trip through the gates of hell.
This left Second Aunt Li and Li Xiao deeply grateful to Aaron.
Beyond their gratitude, Second Aunt Li had even wanted to arrange a wife for Aaron. After all, Aaron was older than Li Xiao!
While politely declining, Aaron began to entertain a few thoughts of his own.
He had settled in Yu Kang under the assumed name Fang Yuan. In truth, besides living freely in the mortal world, he also intended to forge a plausible background for himself.
After all, even the great martial sects were extremely strict when accepting disciples, sometimes even sending people to investigate a candidate's birthplace.
Cultivators, especially those from the great orthodox mystical sects, would naturally be even more stringent.
For all he knew, they might investigate eight generations of ancestors!
But it did not matter!
If Aaron, as Fang Yuan, settled in Yu Kang, his origins might seem suspicious.
But by the second or third generation, there would be far fewer people who harbored doubts.
