Zhou Fu nodded and spoke, "I feel Master teaches better than him. I want to learn from Master."
Yu Daohen tapped Zhou Fu's head and said irritably, "You blockhead. Do you know how many people want to be trained by Haotian Quan but don't have the chance? If he teaches you, at the very least, your future achievements will be among the top twenty masters on the Heaven Ranking."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fu obediently nodded and said, "I understand, Master. I am willing to learn from him."
Hearing this, Yu Daohen nodded with satisfaction, "That's more like it."
Next, Zhou Fu returned to rest, while Yu Daohen went to the main hall.
In the main hall.
Yu Daohen was sitting in the middle seat, with the First Elder Hu Ting, Second Elder Wu Shanping, and Honorary Elder Xu Gensheng beside him.
Seeing that all three had arrived, Yu Daohen began, "I plan to go into seclusion for half a year. I may not be able to come to the sect during this period, so if any important matters arise in the sect, the three elders will have to decide on their own."
Upon hearing this, Hu Ting frowned slightly, "The Sect Master plans to go into seclusion for half a year?"
Yu Daohen nodded, "That's right. The current martial world is turbulent, and I must improve my strength as soon as possible."
Wu Shanping and Xu Gensheng beside him remained silent.
This was a good thing. If the Sect Master's strength could reach a higher level, he could lead the Yan Huo Sect to the forefront of second-rate forces.
"Alright, Sect Master, please go into seclusion. We will handle the sect's affairs," Hu Ting said.
Yu Daohen nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then the three left the hall.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Yu Daohen also prepared to return to his room to rest.
Xu Gensheng suddenly called out to Yu Daohen, who was about to leave, "Sect Master."
Yu Daohen stopped and looked at Xu Gensheng, asking, "Elder Xu, is there something?"
Xu Gensheng shook his head, looked at Yu Daohen, and inquired, "Sect Master, you seem to have something on your mind?"
Yu Daohen was stunned for a moment, "Is it that obvious?"
Xu Gensheng nodded, "It's all written on your face."
Yu Daohen smiled, "I'm fine. The Yan Huo Sect will still need Elder Xu's help in the future."
Xu Gensheng waved his hand, "We don't need to say such things to each other. I will do my best to protect the Yan Huo Sect."
Yu Daohen nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart.
He didn't know how many times he had troubled Elder Xu.
Night~
Yu Daohen lay on the bed, took out his phone, found Qin Muyu's phone number, and sent a text message.
(How is the situation on your end?)
After a moment, there was still no reply. He then found Liu Feng's WeChat and sent a message.
(Are you two alright?)
After a moment, there was still no reply. Yu Daohen put down his phone, feeling worried.
It had been a week, and these two had not given any news.
Normally, Qin Muyu would not fail to reply to his messages.
Something must have happened to them.
But the problem was, where were they now?
Yu Daohen had wanted to find these two for a long time, but he didn't know where they were.
He should have asked them where they were going at that time.
That night, Yu Daohen tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his mind filled with worry for these two.
"Dong... dong... dong"
There was a knock on the door, and Yu Yijun's little voice came through.
"Daddy, the sun is shining on your butt, get up quickly."
Yu Daohen got up and walked to open the door.
Yu Yijun looked at Yu Daohen, who looked haggard with dark circles under his eyes, and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, did you go to steal something?"
Yu Daohen looked at the little girl's cute appearance and shook his head helplessly.
Everything was fine, except for her mouth.
It was exactly like his own.
However, this also proved that she was his biological daughter.
For the next week, Yu Daohen taught Zhou Fu all the Five Elements techniques.
The rest was up to him to digest slowly.
Zhou Fu went to Haotian Quan to officially accept his training.
Yu Daohen, on the other hand, took Yu Yijun back to the shop.
Yu Daohen looked at the closed shop door and knew that these two had not returned.
After returning to the shop, another day passed, and there was still no news of them.
Six thirty in the afternoon~
Yu Daohen sat on the doorstep of the shop, his eyes fixed on the street ahead.
The sun was setting, and its afterglow shone on his pale face, making him look a bit desolate.
Yu Yijun stood in the shop, looking at Yu Daohen, who was sitting at the door, distracted, and went forward to disturb him.
She knew that Daddy was worried about Daddy Qin and Uncle Liu.
But she couldn't help Daddy at all.
Suddenly, Yu Yijun thought of something, walked behind Yu Daohen, hugged him tightly, and giggled, "Daddy, your precious daughter wants to eat something delicious."
Yu Daohen looked at Yu Yijun's smiling face and smiled faintly, patting the little girl's head, "Okay, Daddy will take you to eat something delicious."
How could he not know what the little girl was thinking? A warmth spread through his heart.
"Let's go eat something delicious," Yu Daohen said, then walked into the backyard, rode out his second-hand electric bike, and took Yu Yijun to the nearest food street.
They went to a Wallace and ordered some burgers and fries that the little girl liked.
After all, she was still a little girl. Seeing the delicious food, she completely forgot her original purpose.
Yu Daohen shook his head helplessly, watching the little girl eat with her mouth full of hamburger, ketchup smeared around her mouth, looking very cute.
"Little girl, Daddy is going to the mountains to cultivate and will only return in half a year. Will you go with Daddy?" Yu Daohen asked.
Yu Yijun's mouth was full of hamburger, and her speech was a bit unclear, "When will Daddy go?"
Yu Daohen thought for a moment and said, "We'll leave when your Daddy Qin and Uncle Liu return. There's no internet there, no good food, and no milk tea or ice cream."
Yu Yijun swallowed the hamburger in her mouth and took a sip of the cola next to it, not answering immediately.
Yu Daohen saw the reluctant expression on Yu Yijun's face and secretly chuckled.
She was indeed his little padded jacket, she must be reluctant to part with me.
However, there was nothing in the mountains, not even the internet. This little girl would surely not be able to stand it.
Little did she know, Yu Yijun was thinking that if Daddy went to the mountains to cultivate for half a year and didn't come back, wouldn't she be left unsupervised?
Wouldn't that mean she could do whatever she wanted?
Wonderful.
Finally, she had the chance to be alone at home.
Yu Daohen continued, "Of course, you don't have to be so reluctant to part with Daddy. I want to take you, but life in the mountains is not easy. I will ask Xu Yaya to take care of you."
Yu Yijun was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to go in the first place, but she still had to pretend to be reluctant, "Daddy, your daughter is reluctant to part with you."
Yu Daohen looked at Yu Yijun's teary eyes and shook his head helplessly, "Alas, you are such a clingy little thing. How about this, Daddy will take you."
