"What do you mean? Of course I will return to Yunmeng Jiang Sect." said Wei Wuxian after hearing what the juniors have said.

"Lets just watch." said Sizhui as the screen started again.

Only a few days passed, and Wei WuXian realized that he might have made a wrong choice.

"So you didn't returned to me." said Jiang Cheng, looking at the screen.

The Jiangs was a sad by the news.

The donkey that he conveniently picked up was too hard to please.

Although it was only a donkey, it would exclusively eat fresh, young grass with dewdrops still hanging off them. If the tip of the grass had a streak of yellow, it wouldn’t eat it. Passing a farm, Wei WuXian stole some wheat straws to feed it, but after chewing them, it spit it out with a ptoo, even louder than that of its human counterparts. If it didn’t eat highquality food, it wouldn’t budge, and it’d lose its temper and kick around. For multiple times, Wei WuXian was almost kicked by it. Aside from that, it’s brays also sounded extremely horrible to the ear.

It was useless, no matter as a mount or a pet!

"Who told you to get that donkey in the first place?" asked Jin Zixuan finding Wei Wuxian thoughts hilarious.

"That's why I said that the donkey has a resemblance to Jiang Cheng." said Wei Wuxian.

"Wei Wuxian!" yelled Jiang Cheng, ready to smack his brother when he realized that his son is still sitting on his lap.

Everyone laugh at their interaction especially seeing the reaction of the Young Master Jiang.

Wei WuXian couldn’t help but to think of his sword. The sword was probably collected by the leader of a prominent clan and would have hanged on a wall as a trophy that they could show other people.

Wei Wuxian held his sword firmly thinking that there will never be a time where he is going to give up his sword for such demonic path. Also, he have to be with his brother when he become a Sect Leader one day.

After pushing and pulling along for a few blocks, the road reached a vast farmland of some village. Under the scorching sun, there was a large pagoda tree and thick, green grass underneath it. Beside the tree, there was an old well, with a barrel and a dipper on the side, placed there by the farmers for any passersby to quench their thirst. The donkey ran over there and nothing could make it leave. Wei WuXian hopped down and slapped its honoured buttocks, “You’re definitely destined for wealth, even harder to please than me.”

The donkey spat at him.

"I am starting to like that donkey." said Nie Huaisang.

"Hey at least give some respect to the animal." said a random cultivator.

"What did I even do?" asked Wei Wuxian.

The cultivators only give him a look.

While they fooled around aimlessly, a group of people approached from within the fields.

The people carried handmade bamboo baskets, and wore cotton clothes and straw sandals, emitting the rustic airs of rural villagers. In the group, there was a young girl with a round face that could be considered delicate. Possibly because of walking for too long under the sun, they also wanted to come over to rest by the shade and have some water. However, seeing that there was a wild donkey tied to the tree and a lunatic with heavy makeup and dishevelled hair, they were reluctant to go over.

"What do you think Wei Wuxian will do?" asked Jiang Cheng to his friend, Nie Huaisang.

The latter just smile looking at their friend, meaningfully.
