The middle-aged Taoist was very surprised, then burst into laughter: "My lord, this little girl has a lot of spirit!"

The old monk's face was serene. He reached out again, and this time he took the girl's hand in his own.

At first, the girl wanted to struggle, but as soon as her palm fell into the old monk's palm, she immediately stopped moving and obediently walked to the old monk's side.

The middle-aged Daoist, seeing this, looked displeased and said to the old monk, "Bald donkey, are you trying to steal my disciple"

The old monk calmly said: "It was her parents who chose the poor monk, not the poor monk who snatched her away."

Having said that, the old monk took out a string of rosary beads from his bosom and handed them to the couple, saying: “Take this with you to the suburbs of the city and go to Bai Xin Temple. The abbot there will take care of you. You can leave a token there, which will also make it easier for your child to find his or her parents when they grow up.”

Before the middle-aged couple could express their gratitude, the old monk had already led the girl away.

His steps seemed slow, but like a shrinking of the earth and inches, with just a few strides he was already at the city gate.

The middle-aged Daoist, seeing this, kicked over his own divination stall with one foot and scolded the couple who were still thanking the old monk's back, "You are really pigs' brains! Can't you see your daughter has been bewitched by that old bald donkey, acting like a fool"

The couple blushed with shame, bowing their heads while clutching the rosary beads tightly in their fists. Those beads could provide them with several meals, and they wouldn't let go.

Obviously, for them, survival was the most important thing right now. As for their daughter... well, she wasn't worth much anyway. It would be better if she could find a good place to go than starve to death.

The middle-aged Taoist snorted angrily, ignored them, and rose to chase after the old monk.

The two of them, one after the other, chasing and being chased, walked for almost fifty miles before the old monk finally stopped.

A middle-aged Taoist priest followed closely behind.

"Li Tianzun."

The old monk said to the middle-aged Taoist priest, "Why do you insist on pushing yourself so hard"

Li Tianzun sneered coldly: "Jie Wang, the only decent thing I've done in my life is to bully you bald donkeys. This girl has excellent spiritual energy and is destined for our Taoist sect. Give me the girl, and I'll leave immediately."

"But this girl's parents have already entrusted her to the Buddhist temple," Jie Wang said softly.

"Are you blind Can't you see that she doesn't want to" Li Tianzun roared.

Jiewang glanced at Li Tianzun, his brows furrowing slightly.

Ji Wàng only pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand, sending a gentle force that carried the girl to Li Tianzun's side.

Li Tianzun reached out and scooped the girl into his arms.

To my surprise, Jiewang was surprisingly polite. When Li Tianzun looked up again, Jiewang had already disappeared.

Looking at the still dazed girl beside him, Li Tianzun murmured, "This old bald donkey suddenly appeared here, there must be something going on. And he actually gave this martial arts prodigy directly to me in order to prevent me from following him... No, I have to follow up and see."

As he spoke, Li Tianzun gently slapped the girl on the back of her head.

The girl shuddered, her eyes instantly regaining their clarity.

Li Tianzun smiled at her and asked, "Do you want to learn Dao with me"

The girl asked innocently, “Will you feed me and not give me away”

Li Tianzun shook his head and said, "No."

"Alright!"

The girl smiled brightly and said, "I want to learn the way from you."

Li Tianzun burst into laughter and said, "From now on, you are the sixteenth disciple of Longhushan Celestial Master Dao. Do you know which generation the current headmaster of Celestial Master Dao belongs to"

The girl tilted her head and shook it, indicating she didn't know.
