Zhang Boyan did not care who stayed behind, and simply nodded to show he understood.
Shen Chuyu brought the child before him and said, "This is my son Shen Dong. Master Zhang has seen him before. I hope you can take my son along on this trip. I do not ask that he attain Immortality and achieve the Dao, only that he may live a peaceful life."
Zhang Boyan cast him a glance and said, "Very well."
Shen Chuyu gently stroked the child's head, his eyes full of fatherly affection, and said, "Child, go along with Master Zhang."
The child was very well-behaved and sensible, neither noisy nor troublesome. After hearing his father's words, he went to stand properly at Zhang Boyan's side.
Zhang Boyan thought to himself, "Though young in years, this child's nature is tenacious and he is extremely sensible. His aptitude is not bad either. If he can be taught a superior cultivation method, he will surely become a great figure in the future."
