A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Lin Na's gaze swept over the senior brothers in the courtyard, and she said bluntly, "Your senior brothers are all truly capable, genuinely carrying on the mantle of Taoism. And you? What role do you play in Taoism?"

Just as Su Fan was about to speak, Hui Xin, who was squatting beside him eating a sweet potato, interrupted, "My junior uncle can get me and my grandmaster pension insurance, so I can eat chicken legs every day!"

Lin Na couldn't help but laugh, and patted Huixin's head: "Little Huixin, you'll be with me from now on, and I promise you'll have an endless supply of meat."

Huixin blinked and asked earnestly, "Then can you teach me Taoist magic?"

Linna was taken aback, clearly not expecting Huixin to ask such a question.

She opened her mouth, then honestly said, "I can't teach you this."

Hui puffed out her chest confidently and raised her chin at Su Fan: "My junior uncle can teach me!"

Lin Na turned to look at Su Fan, her eyes filled with curiosity: "How did he teach you?"

Huixin said earnestly, "Last time, my junior uncle took me to get a foot massage. He said that foot massage is also a way, and the technique is also a method. This way follows nature. How much I can understand depends on my comprehension. But my comprehension is too low. I still haven't figured it out."

Su Fan quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Na looked at Su Fan and said, "Is this what you call 'following the natural way'?"

Su Fan said in a serious tone: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the law that can be followed is not the eternal law. One step reveals the Tao, one hand reveals the law."

Everyone else was speechless, but Huixin said with an admiring look, "Junior Uncle, you're so amazing!"

At this moment, Su Fan quickly changed the subject: "Sister Na, when are you going back?"

Linna replied in a nonchalant tone, "When I go back depends on when you let me take the things back to report."

"Then you can leave today," Su Fan said.

Linna was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Su Fan pointed to her phone: "You'll know if you look at your phone."

Lin Na took out her phone, opened the two files Su Fan had sent, and frowned slightly: "A new song?"

Su Fan nodded: "Otherwise what?"

Linna was skeptical: "So fast? What if the quality is poor?"

"Whether the quality is good or not, you'll know once you see it."

"How could I possibly understand sheet music? Let me send it to the team for them to see."

So Linna forwarded the two songs to Yang Junqi.

Upon receiving the document, Yang Junqi immediately convened an emergency meeting.

Several key members of the propaganda department arrived, and the head of the cultural troupe also rushed over.

The conference room was packed.

Everyone passed around the sheet music, going through the melody line by line, their eyes growing brighter with each reading.

In their view, "The Soldier" is passionate and inspiring, while "With Me" is deeply moving and unwavering.

The high quality of the two songs surprised everyone.

But then the question arose: who should sing these two songs?

A representative from the Kyoto Military Region's Public Relations Department stated first, "This song was requisitioned by our military region, and it is only right that our people sing it."

The members of the performing arts troupe were not to be outdone: "If you can't handle this song, let us do it."

Neither side would give way.

Yang Junqi tapped the table to quiet the noise and said in a deep voice, "Alright, give the song 'The Soldier' ​​to Zeng Yue. He's currently very popular for singing 'Green Flowers in the Army,' so having him sing this song will create a counterbalance."

The members of the performing arts troupe beamed with joy upon hearing this.

Knowing they couldn't win the argument, the publicity department waited for Yang Junqi to announce who would get "With Me".

Yang Junqi glanced at everyone and continued, "I want Su Fan to sing the song 'With Me' himself."

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room; no one had expected this arrangement.

The person from the propaganda department opened their mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

The members of the performing arts troupe looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Yang Junqi's reasoning was straightforward: "Su Fan's popularity is undeniable; having him sing this song would be the most effective."

No one objected.

It's not that I don't want to compete, it's that I can't compete.

It's perfectly natural for Su Fan to sing his own songs.

Besides, just as Yang Junqi said, Su Fan sang this song best.

After finalizing the song's performance, Yang Junqi dialed Lin Na's number and immediately asked, "Are you with Su Fan?"

Linna said, "Yes."

Yang Junqi said, "Could we talk to him about coming to Kyoto? I'd like him to sing 'With Me' himself."

Lin Na covered the microphone and turned to Su Fan, asking, "The higher-ups want you to sing 'With Me,' are you willing?"

Su Fan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can sing."

Lin Na relayed the results to Yang Junqi.

After hanging up the phone, Linna said, "Let's go then."

Su Fan was taken aback: "Depart? Where to?"

"Of course, we're going to Kyoto."

Su Fan asked doubtfully, "Recording a song can be done in a recording studio in the city, there's no need to go all the way to Kyoto, is there?"

"You'd better come with me; I'm afraid I can't handle it myself."

Su Fan still tried to resist, bringing up his master: "I've only been back at the sect for two days, and you're already letting me leave? My master will miss me."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Lingyuan's voice came from the other end of the courtyard: "You'd better leave quickly, or Xiao Huixin won't be in the mood to practice her skills."

Su Fan choked for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Master, it can't be that serious, can it? I think Huixin is quite serious; he's even cultivating while eating."

Zhang Lingyuan retorted, "Do you even believe what you're saying?"

Su Fan rubbed his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Um... well... Master, I just arrived, are you really going to let me go?"

Zhang Lingyuan spoke frankly: "Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, you have no other serious business to attend to here. Why don't you go back to your mortal world and cultivate yourself?"

Su Fan was speechless, and could only resign himself to his fate: "Master, if that's how you say it, then I'm really leaving."

Zhang Lingyuan waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go. Come back when you have time."

So, Su Fan turned around and said goodbye to his senior brothers.

Senior Brother Zhao Xiyan nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."

Second Senior Brother Xu Xingzhi took a small cloth bag from the medicine cabinet and handed it to him, saying, "Soak this in water to drink if you're not used to the water and soil on the road."

The third senior brother, Lu Junning, handed over a yellow paper talisman folded into a triangle.

Fourth Senior Brother Deng Yi raised his head from the pile of stones and said, "Come back often."

Fifth Senior Brother Fan Xunsheng instructed, "Junior Brother, don't forget to post your new song after we follow each other on Weibo."

Huixin followed Su Fan all the way to the mountain gate, then to the mountainside, and finally to the foot of the mountain.

Lin Na couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to say, "Xiao Huixin, you should go back now. Your master will worry if you keep seeing him off."

Huixin stopped and looked up at Su Fan, her eyes sparkling, her voice tinged with reluctance: "Junior Uncle, I will miss you. Remember to come back and see me."

Su Fan said to Lin Na, "Look, Huixin saw us off all the way, aren't you going to do something for her?"

Linna paused for a moment: "How do I express it?"

Su Fan gestured with his lip towards Hui Xin's empty hands: "How can you let him go back empty-handed?"

Lin Na understood immediately and pulled Hui Xin into the small supermarket at the foot of the mountain.

She stuffed a lot of things into Huixin's arms.

Huixin didn't dare to accept it and turned to look at Su Fan.

Su Fan nodded: "Take it, it's fine."

Huixin then accepted the food with a clear conscience and ended up filling two large plastic bags with it.
