Zui Hongchen put the food bag on his shoulder on the table, waited in front of the door for a moment, then knocked on the door and entered.

"aunt."

Jiang's mother was knitting and making clothes in her room. When she saw Zui Hongchen, a smile appeared on her face.

"Hongchen, you are such a kid. You don't need to come to my place every two days."

She looked at Zui Hongchen's face. Three years later, he had grown into an outstanding and handsome young man.Although his facial features have not yet opened up, his face already looks like a crown jewel. His short white hair stands neatly beside his ears, and his clear black eyes shine with gentleness and wisdom.

"What did Auntie say?" Zui Hongchen smiled shyly, "Recently I hunted a lot of snake soul beasts in the Sun and Moon Forest and took their snake gallbladders."

He coughed and added, "Snake gallbladder has the effect of strengthening the body. My aunt is weak and should take more supplements."

Jiang's mother stood up and stroked Zui Hongchen's short hair lovingly. She wanted to say something, but eventually it turned into a sigh.

Zui Hongchen took a step back, took the food bag, walked into the kitchen and started cooking.

There has been no news from the head of Jiang Nannan's family for a long time, and the letter sent by Jiang's mother was like water being poured out.He might have died somewhere, or he might have abandoned his wife and children and started life on the other side.

Mother and daughter depended on each other in Lingyue Town, and Zui Hongchen became their support as if they could not give up.

This may be a sign of sympathy, or it may be a poor person joining the group to keep warm.

In Jiang Nannan's home, he experienced family affection that he had never experienced before.

"Auntie, I'm going to pick up Nan Nan and bring back some seasonings."

"Go slowly and be careful not to fall."

After hearing the words that sounded like instructions to his son, Zui Hongchen pursed his lips and smiled, and left the residence dressed in civilian clothes.

Walking on the street, you are greeted by lively greetings.

"Xiao Langjun, someone has fresh fish for sale. I just caught it this morning."

"Young Master Drunk, come and take a look at the meat of these ten-year soul beasts. If you buy too much, I'll give you a discount!"

"Drunk Master, you went to pick up your sister again!"

The friendly laughter resounded throughout the market, and Zui Hongchen replied one by one with a polite and gentle smile on his face.

In the past three years, under his intentional and unintentional management, the three names Zui Hongchen were not only well-known in Lingyue Town, but were talked about by everyone, and they became everyone's children.

Baishan's filial piety comes first. Zui Hongchen has no blood relationship with Jiang's mother, but he takes care of her as his biological mother and Jiang Nannan as his biological sister.

Although he is a soul master, he is neither arrogant nor arrogant. There is no hint of the arrogance of a soul master in his tone, and he is approachable.

Participated in the work of protecting the commercial roads of Lingyue Town, repelling the incoming spirit beasts many times, ensuring the merchants' goods.

The people who can spread news fastest in this world are businessmen.

"Haha, drunk boy, if you want to buy something when you go out this time, I will ask my guard to bring it to you."

A hoarse old voice sounded from behind. Zui Hongchen quickly turned around and bowed respectfully, "Grandpa Zhang."

The old man in front of him was wearing a black official robe, but he was the mayor of Lingyue Town.

The old man stroked his beard happily, apparently his heart softened at the sweet call from Grandpa Zhang.

The two of them were very familiar with each other. Zui Hongchen's benevolence and filial piety in Lingyue Town were noticed by the old man, and he was determined to make acquaintance. They became friends over time.

"Buy some seasonings and take Nannan home for dinner." Zui Hongchen answered truthfully.

The old man glanced at the guard on the side, who winked at Zui Hongchen, took the shopping list from his hand and walked away.

Zui Hongchen sensitively felt that the old man had something to do with him, so he came to the old man's side, held his arm and walked forward.

"Drunk boy, how old and what level are you?"

"Nine years old, level 25."

"Hiss... Drunk boy, what are your plans for the future?"

"Grandpa Zhang, what do you mean?"

"Do you want to stay in this little Lingyue town for the rest of your life?"

The old man glanced at Zui Hongchen, who shook his head, vaguely aware of something in his heart.

"The eight-year recommendation time has come. As a member of the Sun-Moon Empire, do you want to show off your talents in the court of the Sun-Moon Empire?"

Zui Hongchen didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. He blinked his dark eyes and quickly thanked, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang."

"Hmph, I think you are not a creature of the pool. If you don't pass the recommendation test, don't come back to see me. I can't afford to lose this person!"

The old man raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and Zui Hongchen slowly let go of the old man's arm and bowed deeply in front of him.

Every eight years, the Sun and Moon Empire will hold an event to recommend talents. Towns with a population that meets the standard can recommend a young man aged no more than eighteen to take the exam in the Sun and Moon Imperial City.

This is an opportunity to get ahead, and this is an opportunity that countless young people want to seize.As long as you pass the exam, you will be able to obtain the resources of the royal family. Whether you study literature or practice martial arts, you will definitely have a place in the court in the future.

"Okay, don't make it so grand. There are not many talented young people in Lingyue Town, and you are the best among them. Others are convinced by recommending you."

The old man snorted softly and waved his hand to Zui Hongchen, indicating that he didn't need to be so solemn.

"Before I leave, I'll treat you to a drink."

After that, the old man left slowly with the help of his guards.

Zui Hongchen sighed, took the packaging bag from the winking acquaintance guard, and walked towards the busiest restaurant in the town.

Some diners from afar saw Zui Hongchen’s iconic white hair and shouted jokingly, “Nan Nan, your brother is here to take you home!”

The guests in the restaurant laughed. Zui Hongchen did not enter the restaurant, but stood outside the door, greeting acquaintances passing by.

Not long after, a blond girl ran out of the restaurant with a slightly red face, and the next moment she held Zui Hongchen's arm.

Three years have passed, and Jiang Nannan has become more and more cute and charming. Her skin is like snow, her eyes are like spring water, and she has a charming appearance at a young age.

Her appearance can be called the beauty of the country.

"Brother~"

She has matured a lot. Although her family is poor, she has a noble temperament in her words and deeds. At first glance, she would have thought she was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

"Go home, I'll cook today."

"I want to drink chicken soup."

"I knew you would say that. Look, the seasonings are all bought."

The two of them chatted about trivial household matters. When they approached the door of their home, Jiang Nannan suddenly stopped.

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Her talking eyes blinked, telling her repressed heart.

Zui Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Those diners are really well-informed."

He didn't expect the news to be transmitted so quickly. As soon as he learned from the mayor that he had been recommended, the next moment it became a topic of discussion among everyone after dinner.

"Yes."

When Jiang Nannan heard Zui Hongchen's calm words, her mouth tightened, as if tears were about to fall at the next moment.

"It's not like I'm not coming back."

Zui Hongchen bent down and stroked Jiang Nannan's golden hair, "Do you believe me?"

"Ah."

Jiang Nannan wiped her eyes and nodded fiercely.

"I will definitely be back within a year."

"Agreement?"

Jiang Nannan stretched out her little finger.

Zui Hongchen smiled and hooked her little finger.

"Well, promise."
