Chapter 25: Ch. 13 Part 1
The village head’s sons, ger and daughter got up very early... as early as the first light, they each carried a basket filled with foodstuffs and marched to YanZhi’s house. Lu Lixin who was the eldest of them anxiously knocked on the door and withdrew his hand at once.... all four stood still like statues waiting for the door to be answered. YanZhi felt their presence but chose to ignore them making them stand behind the door for a while as a way of testing them...
" Xiong Gong shouldn’t we answer the door for them? those are the village head’s children, wouldn’t the village head find this disrespectful if we keep his children waiting while they’re on an errand for him? " Xiao Ling walked out of the kitchen along with Yue with their simple yet delicious breakfast asking YanZhi in a very blunt tone. Since they decided to stay in big stone village for a long time, it wouldn’t be good for them if they are not on good terms with the village head.

" Yue.... open the door for them " YanZhi ordered when he thought he had kept them waiting for long
" Yes master " Yue cupped her hands in respect before walking to open the door. When the siblings standing outside heard the lock of the door being pried opened they suddenly felt refreshed as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders.... but the anxiousness and panic soon return when they walked into the front yard and saw YanZhi seating gracefully not bothering with them and chatting happily with Xiao Ling. Lu Lixin took deep breaths to calm down and walked over to YanZhi and kowtowed taking the lead,
" master Yan.... please permit us to worship you as our master " Lu Lixin pleaded... when his siblings saw what he did they also hurriedly walked over and kowtowed
