The disciple looked perplexed. "A circle, you say..."
The Taoist didn't ponder Xu Lai's origins for long, for he firmly believed they would meet again.
Sometimes the world is vast, yet sometimes it's incredibly small.
He glanced back at the Taoist Temple before hunching his back and continuing to work the field with his hoe. His figure was dazzling in the glow of the setting sun.

Leaving the unnamed valley, Xu Lai returned to the campsite with his daughter in his arms.
Apart from Mao Gaoshan, the other families hadn't gone far. After all, the place was unfamiliar and somewhat dangerous. Xu Lai's family of three lay down in their tent for a short rest.
Ruan Tang was gently fanning the air to keep mosquitoes away from the sleeping Xu Yiyi when she suddenly paused.
Wait a minute.
If each family only has one tent, doesn't that mean I have to sleep with Xu Lai?
"Do you think I'm going to eat you? Look at that wary expression," Xu Lai said dejectedly.
"Heh."
