There were twelve large carriages. Three were for adults, four were for supplies, and five were filled with children from the families: a boy and a girl from the Di family, a boy and a girl from the Xiao family, and then all the children of the Zhou family.

Jiang Wuque and Jiang Xiaoyu are the two oldest among the children, the eldest and second eldest brothers of all the children. Of course, they have to take on the important responsibility of taking care of their younger brothers and sisters.

A day later, Jiang Xiaoyu knelt before her father, tears streaming down her face, and clung to his leg, refusing to let go: "Dad, Dad! I was wrong, I'll never brag again! Dad!!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Zhou Ye wiped his little face clean, then said slowly, "Little Yu, a real man keeps his word."

"Wow!!!"

Jiang Xiaoyu cried even harder, while Jiang Wuque sighed, pulled his younger brother away... and returned to the carriage. Before he could even sit down, pairs of small hands reached out to him.

"Brother!"

"You little brat!"

Jiang Xiaoyu wiped her face, then forced a smile and said, "Sit down, everyone, let's start the story."

Before she could finish three sentences, a barrage of "whys" began. Jiang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, collapsed in the carriage, and pretended to be dead!

Unfortunately, this trick was used too many times, and the little ones stopped falling for it. This time, it wasn't just little hands that came up, but also little feet, which almost sent Jiang Xiaoyu to her death...

Along the way, Zhou Ye became unusually serious. He seemed to lie in the car all day without moving, but he was constantly using his Observation Haki to be vigilant about everything around him. As soon as a threat appeared, Xiao Feng would dart out of the convoy like an arrow, using the Nine Yang Palm and the Dragon Subduing Palm to flatten everything that could be flattened.

If the situation cannot be leveled, there is a second plan: Zhou Ye will be dispatched, the women will be responsible for guarding the carriages, and the caravan will retreat five miles.

Fortunately, along the way, they did not encounter anyone that Xiao Feng could not stand up for. Those who dared to mess with them were just some petty bandits who had no idea what this unique large carriage caravan in the entire martial arts world meant.

When they arrived safely at the foot of Wudang Mountain, Wudang, having already received the news, immediately dispatched Song Yuanqiao, the acting sect leader, accompanied by Song Qingshu, the first person of the third generation of Wudang.

This young man has not yet been blinded by love. His manners and interactions with others impressed Xiao Feng, who repeatedly praised Wudang for having a worthy successor, making Song Yuanqiao very proud.

"You've come a long way, why not climb the mountain..."

"Farewell, Sect Leader Song. Our whole family, including a bunch of little kids, would disrupt Wudang's peaceful cultivation if we went up the mountain like this. Let's stay at the foot of the mountain for now, and we'll go up when the time is right."

He thought Zhou Ye was just being polite, but when Song Yuanqiao saw the little ones jumping down from the carriage, he knew that Zhou Ye really wasn't being polite to him.

After finally seeing Song Yuanqiao and his son off, Di Yun plopped down in front of Zhou Ye, opened his mouth a few times, but ultimately said nothing, and then turned and left.

It wasn't until the shopkeeper arrived that everyone understood what was going on.

Di Yun arrived first. When he found that there were only two inns, he chose the one that was closest to Wudang Mountain. As soon as he entered, he slapped a stack of silver notes in front of the innkeeper and said he wanted to buy the inn.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. After a long while, he cautiously looked at Di Yun and said, "Second Master, what's wrong with you...?"

"Second Master" is the title Di Yun uses in the Zhou family. He is Second Master Di, Xiao Feng is First Master Xiao, and Zhou Ye, the head of the family, is the Master.

The shopkeeper's address of "Second Master" left Di Yun bewildered: "You...know me?"

The shopkeeper almost burst out laughing: "Second Master, this is our family's business, why do you want to buy again?"

Di Chun couldn't hold back any longer and almost rode his horse back!

However, with his early arrival, the inn had made preparations well in advance. After the existing guests checked out, they stopped accepting new guests and increased the purchase of supplies. They even made simple renovations to the top-tier guest rooms so that the young masters and ladies of the family could stay more comfortably.

Now that the whole family was here, Di Yun really wanted to ask Zhou Ye if he was playing a trick on him, but when he saw Zhou Ye's clear eyes, he knew that this guy didn't know either, and certainly wasn't playing a trick on him...

Who are these people in the family?!

Back with his wife, Di Yun didn't fare any better. She scolded him for half an hour, nodding his head. Just when he thought it was over, he blurted out, "I don't concern myself with these things at home," reigniting Qi Fang's anger. But at that moment, Zhou Ye suddenly rushed over, pulling Di Yun outside: "Quick, something big has happened!"

It wasn't a rescue mission at all; there was something truly important happening, just not here, but at another inn. People from the six major sects had already settled in there, but they weren't discussing any birthday celebrations. Instead, they were discussing the reappearance of Zhang Wuxia, who had disappeared for many years!

Zhang Cuishan disappeared along with Xie Xun. Now that he has reappeared, does that mean Xie Xun has also returned to the Central Plains?

The inn here is now filled with all sorts of rumors. After Zhou Ye "heard" them, he immediately prepared to take people to listen to the excitement. However, after looking around, he couldn't find Xiao Feng, but he happened to see Di Yun and naturally reached out and pulled him away.

The person had run away, leaving Qi Fang only able to engage in a virtual battle. Then, turning her head, she saw two small heads, and her eyebrows shot up: "You two aren't any better!"

"call out!"

Jiang Xiaoyu ran back to the backyard, buried herself among her younger siblings, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "Sure enough, the Lingbo Weibu technique is incredibly effective! Listening to Dad was definitely the right thing to do!"

Jiang Wuque nodded: "Yes, Father was indeed prescient. And you all, no matter what happens in the future, you must master the art of lightness skill."

The little ones couldn't understand at all, but they were perceptive. Seeing how seriously their eldest brother was speaking, they naturally nodded in unison and then swarmed forward again, burying their brothers.

"Pah! Tell me, are these people just bored? It's been so many years, and they're still holding onto this."

"Pfft!" Di Yun spat out the sunflower seed shells and chimed in, "That's nothing. What I'm really curious about is, what kind of moves will Master Zhang use to kill these guys who come to Wudang with this kind of purpose?"

Zhou Ye laughed: "If Old Zhang still needs to use his moves after we've killed them, then we're really giving them too much credit."

Di Yun nodded: "That's right!"

Just as the two were chatting at the entrance, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and then a group of women arrived at the inn's entrance. Each of them was arrogant and looked down on the two of them, completely ignoring them as they entered the inn.

"Are these people from the Emei Sect?"

"It should be. I think among the six major sects, only the Emei Sect is truly here to offer birthday wishes. The relationship between these two sects is quite good."

Zhou Ye smiled mysteriously: "That's not necessarily true."

The two men, acting like hooligans, watched as the people from the five major sects entered the inn, then dusted off the sunflower seed shells on their clothes and leisurely made their way to the inn's kitchen.

Ultimately, this is still their own inn. If some foolish person were to vandalize it, that would be the time for the two brothers to step in. At that point, multiplying the losses by five, six, seven, or eight times wouldn't be an exaggeration at all, would it?

"So, all talk and no action..." Di Yun muttered, munching on a large green radish, looking down on the so-called righteous sects outside. "All talk and no action."

The room was in complete chaos, with people even banging on the table, but no one actually made a move. Di Yun had been preparing the whole time, but even as darkness fell, the group still showed no sign of taking action.

The two returned to the inn on the other side, and while eating with everyone, they recounted what they had heard that day. The others shared similar thoughts with Di Yun.

"Are they poisoned? How dare they set off cannons on Wudang Mountain? Do they really think that Master Zhang's temper has improved with age?"

"That's right. Master Zhang's Jiazi Demon Extermination didn't just exterminate demons in the year of Jiazi, but throughout the entire Jiazi period. Those people haven't forgotten, have they?"

"Then our trip wasn't in vain! Master Zhang hasn't come down the mountain in a long time, and we haven't seen him fight in ages. Can we finally feast our eyes on him?"

"That's for sure!"

"Should we secretly put in extra effort?"

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

Once the women started discussing, the men had nothing to do. But the men weren't idle either. Xiao Feng and Di Yun sandwiched Zhou Ye in the middle: "Ah Ye, if you don't tell us what will happen, we won't get through today. We're not afraid, but the children still need to go up the mountain."

"There's no danger, as long as we don't get too close."

"Okay, let's talk to the children now."

……

Before dawn, the inn was already brightly lit. Everyone in the Zhou family, young and old, had gotten up, ate their meal at a leisurely pace, and then walked towards Wudang Mountain.

The child was not strong enough, and after walking only a few steps, he automatically found something to lean on.

"Everyone..."

At the Sword-Unsheathing Stone in front of Wudang Mountain, the disciples guarding the mountain, who had practiced their welcoming speech for a long time, suddenly couldn't say it when they saw Zhou Ye.

On Zhou Ye's head sat his youngest daughter, with his youngest son and daughter sitting on his shoulders, two small babies hanging from each of his arms, and a whole bunch of babies around his waist.

Perhaps it was too peaceful, because the babies all fell asleep.

Zhou Ye smiled at the disciples guarding the mountain and said, "We're here to offer our birthday wishes. We don't have swords or any other weapons. May we go up?"

"Is...is it...okay?"

"Okay, let's continue."

After him, the Zhou family members walked past the Sword-Unlocking Stone one by one towards the True Martial Hall. The Wudang disciples they encountered along the way all paid their respects to Zhou Ye, mainly because they had never seen anyone so capable of taking care of a child.
