"Heave-ho, heave-ho~"
"The boundless horizon is my love, flowers bloom beneath the rolling green hills, what kind of rhythm sways the most..."
"Moo, moo, moo~"
A man, an ox, and a chah each sang their own tune, putting their hearts and souls into it.
Carrying a shoulder pole and its loads, they headed toward the nearby fields.
Their task today was to fertilize and plow the land.
Li Ping'an planned to check on the spirit wood's growth along the way and build a medicine-making room.
Just then, he suddenly noticed Wei Jing, Wei An, and Xiao Ye approaching.
"Oh, what brings all of you here together?"
Li Ping'an asked curiously.
Wei Jing offered a Daoist salute. "Senior, I left in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't have time to thank you."
"It was nothing. You haven't brought people from the Enforcement Pavilion with you, have you?"
Li Ping'an asked warily.
He was worried that the willow tree felled yesterday had been pinned on him.
"Of course not," Wei Jing said. "May I ask whether you are Li Ping'an, the head disciple of Heaven-Reaching Peak?"
"That's me. Why?"
"My name is Wei Jing. I hope you can offer me some guidance, senior brother."
Li Ping'an remembered. "Right, you're here to seek a master."
He glanced at the sun. It was still early.
"Come inside, please."
The sisters, Wei Jing and Wei An, thanked him and followed Li Ping'an into the house.
Xiao Ye followed behind them as well.
Li Ping'an brewed each of them a cup of tea.
Wei Jing glanced around the house. It had quite a lived-in feel.
While the three drank their tea, Li Ping'an had Old Ox check the basic information Wei Jing had filled out.
Old Ox whispered a few words into Li Ping'an's ear.
