Ye Tianfan took out a piece of candy from his pocket, which was actually taken from the Xuanhuang Tower.

Now that Ye Tianfan has become increasingly skilled at using the Xuanhuang Tower, he no longer needs to summon it to take things out or put them in.

Things were different now; Ye Tianfan could activate the Xuanhuang Tower from within his Dantian and use the light it cast to release or retrieve items directly from his Dantian.

Ye Tianfan shook the candy in his hand and then smiled at Bao Er, saying, "Bao Er, do you want to eat it?"

Bao Er looked at the little square wrapped in paper in Ye Tianfan's hand with curiosity and then asked, "Immortal Brother, what is this?"

Ye Tianfan hadn't expected Bao Er to have never seen candy before, but he quickly realized it made sense since this candy was bought from a boutique pastry shop, making it quite upscale. The small town where Bao Er lived likely couldn't afford such expensive candy, so it was normal that Bao Er hadn't seen it before.

Ye Tianfan looked at Bao Er with a compassionate gaze and then said, "Little Bao Er, this is called candy. It's something you eat that's very, very sweet."

Bao Er happily looked at the candy in Ye Tianfan's hand, almost drooling, and exclaimed, "Oh, it's candy! Bao Er loves candy the most. Back home, Bao Er could eat several pieces a day, but I can't let mom find out. If she finds out I eat too much candy, I'll get spanked."

Huh, Bao Er actually knows what candy is? Ye Tianfan was curious at first, then mentally scolded himself for being an idiot. Of course, there's candy in Copper Gong Town, just not fancy candy; loose candy would be cheaper, and many parents like to buy it for their kids.

"If Bao Er wants candy, then promise your Immortal Brother one thing, okay?" Ye Tianfan said, tempting Bao Er like a big bad wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.

Bao Er, eyeing the candy, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and vigorously nodded, saying, "As long as Immortal Brother gives Bao Er candy, Bao Er will agree to Immortal Brother's request!"

"Alright, then the candy is yours!" Ye Tianfan unwrapped the candy and stuffed it into Bao Er's mouth, then asked, "How is it, Bao Er, is it sweet? Tasty?"

Bao Er, with a blissful expression, nodded forcefully and said, "Yes, sweet, delicious!"

"Since it's delicious, Immortal Brother will now tell you the request; you can't back out!" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bao Er nodded vigorously and thumped his chest, saying to Ye Tianfan, "Don't worry, Immortal Brother; my mom says I'm a real man, and real men don't lie. A promise is a promise."

"Good, Immortal Brother's request is that, no matter where we are, whenever you see me, call me Immortal Brother, okay? This request is simple, right?" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.

"Of course it's simple! Immortal Brother is already Immortal Brother, why would you want me to agree to that?" Bao Er didn't understand why Ye Tianfan would make such a request; in his eyes, Immortal Brother is Immortal Brother, how could he be anything else?

"Alright, even if your mom tells you not to call me Immortal Brother, you must still call me that." Ye Tianfan said while rubbing Bao Er's hair.

Ye Tianfan had become addicted to petting Bao Er's hair. The child's hair was too smooth, too soft, making it hard to stop.

However, Ye Tianfan didn't rub it for too long, fearing he might rub Bao Er's hair off and leave him bald.

Otherwise, wouldn't his parents come after him?

"Of course, a real man's promise will never change!" Bao Er thumped his chest and said very seriously.

To Ye Tianfan, Bao Er's serious expression was simply too adorable.

If it were anyone else, even a female cultivator, they might rush over, hug Bao Er, and shower him with affection.

Ye Tianfan smiled and patted Bao Er's head again, then let him go.

Ye Tianfan drank from a bowl and watched as Senior Brother Yun Tian went door to door asking if there was any need for help. Ye Tianfan thought Yun Tian was a really good person but seemed to have some misunderstandings about him. He thought it would be better to find a time to talk to Senior Brother Yun Tian.

Just then, Ye Tianfan heard Bao Er's cries followed by some scolding. He frowned and listened closely.

"You've got some nerve, haven't you? Even the mayor addresses the Immortal Grandmaster as Immortal Grandmaster, and here you are, calling him Immortal Brother. Are you trying to be superior? Trying to be the mayor's uncle or something?"

"No, Bao Er really likes Grandpa Mayor, I absolutely didn't mean that."

"Didn't mean it? Then why did you call the Immortal Grandmaster Immortal Brother?"

"A real man keeps his promises no matter what, you women wouldn't understand!"

"Oh, a real man, huh? Women wouldn't understand, huh?"

"Slap! Slap!"

Ye Tianfan heard the slapping sound and winced; they were indeed hitting him hard!

And Bao Er's mom was really unreasonable. Why hit? Couldn't it just be a lesson?

Ye Tianfan shook his head, took a sip of water, and thought, calling him Immortal Grandmaster is fine, better not change it; the cost is too high, with Bao Er getting hit today and tomorrow; what if he gets beaten silly?

It seems like he should find a time to give Bao Er another piece of candy and have him change it back!

But for now, let's rest a bit; today was exhausting; later, find a tent to have a nice nap.

At this time, the camp was divided into two areas: the area closer to the evil Qi, where Zhi Chu Zhenren's tent was, and a large clearing around it, and beyond this clear area, the survivors' living quarters.

Clearing the large area wasn't about keeping the survivors away; it was because people from various sects would be coming later, so space was reserved for them; otherwise, where would they be arranged? Placing them too far would make communication inconvenient, so after both sides chose their places, temporary housing was built.

Moreover, the survivors' homes were further from the evil Qi, and between them and the evil Qi were Ye Tianfan and the other cultivators, who could respond quickly if the evil Qi expanded.
