Ye Xuan could feel the little girl's expectant gaze. He could also feel that Uncle Zhuo wanted to bring him and Li Xiu 'er together. However, he was not a mortal, so he could not take Li Xiu' er as his wife.
"Little Zhuo Ma, stop messing around. Your Brother Ye knows what he's doing." Uncle Zhuo waved at the little girl, and she returned to the table in disappointment.
"It's rare for Xiu 'er to be so sincere. You have to cherish her." Uncle Zhuo sighed and did not say anything else. He called Ye Xuan over to continue eating.
After all, feelings could not be forced. Uncle Zhuo could not force Ye Xuan. That was not how he conducted himself.
After the three of them finished eating, Ye Xuan left as well. When Ye Xuan left the house, Uncle Zhuo looked at Ye Xuan's back and sighed softly.
"Little Zhuo Ma."
"Grandpa."
"In the future, don't mention anything about your sister Li and your Brother Ye," Uncle Zhuo reminded her.
Hearing her grandpa's warning, little Zhuo Ma asked in confusion, "Grandpa, if sister Li is so nice, why does Brother Ye …?"
"Sigh!"
Before the little girl could finish speaking, Uncle Zhuo looked at Ye Xuan's back and sighed softly. "Your Brother Ye is not a normal person. He may have settled down in Little Rock Village, but there will come a day when a hidden dragon will soar into the sky. How can our little temple house a divine dragon?"
Hearing her grandpa's words, little Zhuo Ma was rather confused. However, she knew her grandpa had to be right, so she nodded obediently and remembered his words.
Although the old man was a mortal and had raised his granddaughter all by himself, he had experienced the baptism of time. He could sense that Ye Xuan had a great background. Otherwise, he would not have said that the strong preyed on the weak.
"Little Ye, no matter who you are, Uncle Zhuo hopes that you can be safe," the old man murmured to himself.
…
It was a simple house made of mud and wood. Although it looked rather dilapidated, it had no problem blocking out the wind and rain. This was Ye Xuan's residence in Little Rock Village.
There was a straw mat and a bed. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
Ye Xuan sat on the straw mat with the clothes Li Xiu 'er had sewn for him on his knees. A hint of helplessness flashed through Ye Xuan's eyes. He then placed the clothes by his side, without looking at them carefully.....
It wasn't good to be tainted by the feelings of mortals. This wasn't Ye Xuan's original intention for staying in Little Rock Village. He only stayed in Little Rock Village to find his lost heart. Only by finding his heart would he be able to step into the quasi-sage realm.

The next morning, the sun rose and its golden rays shone on Little Rock Village. The sounds of gongs and drums rang out incessantly, mixed with the laughter of many villagers.
"Brother Ye, today is the Great Day of Buddha Worship. Are you awake?"
The little girl's laughter came from outside the door. Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, got up, and opened the door to walk out.
"Uncle Zhuo."
After leaving the room, Ye Xuan saw the old man and the little girl waiting for him outside. This caused Ye Xuan to lightly smile as he greeted the grandfather and grandson duo.
"Brother Ye."
For some reason, every time the little girl saw Ye Xuan, she felt that Ye Xuan gave her a sense of security. It was an inexplicable feeling, but it made the little girl want to stay by Ye Xuan's side. This made her jog to Ye Xuan and shake Ye Xuan's arm while giggling.
In fact, the little girl's feeling was not wrong. Although Ye Xuan had concealed his cultivation, he was still a peak Grand Heavenly Immortal and a Celestial Emperor of the Three Realms. Even if Ye Xuan tried his best to hide his aura, an expert was still an expert. His every action naturally gave others a sense of security.
"Haha."
The old man stroked his beard and laughed, "Little Ye, it's rare for this girl to like you. If she wasn't so young, I would raise both hands in approval of her being your wife."
"Grandfather."
The little girl stamped her feet. Clearly, she was a little shy from being teased by Uncle Zhuo.
"Little Zhuo Ma is very obedient. If she's willing, she can become sworn siblings with me," Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Brother Ye, is what you said true?" The little girl's eyes lit up and she spoke excitedly. She had lost her parents when she was young and had no relatives other than her grandfather. If she could become sworn siblings with Ye Xuan, it would naturally make the little girl extremely happy.
"Good, good, good. Then it's a deal. Little Ye, you can't go back on your word." Uncle Zhuo laughed loudly.
Uncle Zhuo was most worried about his little granddaughter. His lifespan was about to come to an end, but his granddaughter was still very young. If Ye Xuan could take care of her on the day he entered his coffin, he would die in peace.
"Brother Ye."
Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan was talking to Ye Xuan, he saw Li Dazhuang and his daughter walking towards him. However, when Li Xiu Er saw that Ye Xuan was not wearing the clothes she sewed, a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. However, she quickly hid that disappointment.
"Alright, today is the Great Day of Buddha Worship. Let's hurry up and not let the village chief and the others wait."
Under Uncle Zhuo's greeting, the two families walked towards the center of Little Rock Village. They talked and laughed along the way, creating a warm atmosphere.
The center of Little Rock Village.
The place was bustling with activity. Dozens of villagers from Little Stone Village were gathered here. An altar as tall as three people stood in the center. On top of the altar, there was a golden Buddha statue that made people feel awe and veneration when they looked at it.
The Great Day of Buddha Worship was held once every ten years. It was the most important festival in Aparagodānīya. It was also on this day that Buddhists bestowed blessings to mortals, allowing them to feel the blessings of Buddhism.
Casting spells to rain, watering the earth, and curing illnesses were all blessings that Buddhists would bring to mortals. This made the mortals of Aparagodānīya feel deeply grateful towards Buddhism.
"Uncle Zhuo, this way, this way."
When Ye Xuan and the others arrived at the center of the village, they saw a middle-aged man waving at them.
His name was Zhang Qinghe, and he was the village chief of Little Rock Village. His father and Uncle Zhuo were brothers for many years. However, his father died of illness several years ago, so he took over the position of village chief.
"Qinghe."
Uncle Zhuo greeted him warmly. Zhang Qinghe also quickly walked over to Uncle Zhuo with an excited look on his face.
"Uncle Qinghe." Little Zhuo Ma obediently greeted him.
"Little Zhuo Ma, good girl. This candy is for you." Zhang Qinghe laughed and stuffed a candy he had prepared in advance into little Zhuo Ma's hand. The little girl happily accepted it.
"Brother Ye, here's a candy for you."
The little girl turned around and stuffed the candy in her hand into Ye Xuan's. Her crescent-shaped eyes were smiling, making her look even more obedient and cute.
