During this time, Mi Xiaojing had also communicated with the old village chief.

In fact, the old village chief was quite satisfied with this place. There were fields for farming, opportunities for trade, and cultivators generally didn't bully mortals. Additionally, with some martial prowess of their own, the locals couldn't bully them either, and there were no land taxes to worry about.

The old village chief knew that with their mortal bodies, they couldn't possibly keep up with Mi Xiaojing and the others forever. He had understood this long ago and was actually quite content that Mi Xiaojing had brought them here.

Therefore, he made it clear that he intended to stay and live here, leaving it to fate whether it would be good or bad.
