"Did she come here alone? Did she run away from home?"

"That skirt is so white, without any dirt at all. How did you do that?"

"They shouldn't be ordinary clothes. I heard that some powerful families in Minzezhong can use snow silk to spin yarn. Such fabrics are not stained with mud, and dirt can be easily removed by washing with water."

"That's quite expensive. My seventh uncle's family saved up for years to buy a skirt for my granddaughter. You know, my seventh uncle is a famous snake catcher in the area, and his strength is also fourth level. Even so, it took a lot of effort. And judging by the color, it's not as white as this one."

"She looks so young. This child is so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off her."

Many people praised and envied the girl who had just arrived in the village. After hearing some of these words so many times, Loran Hill felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly. However, this lovely appearance caused many people to talk about her, which seemed to have the opposite effect.

Just when Loran Hill felt that time was passing by in a rather long time, he finally heard other voices approaching.

A slightly plump woman came down the mountain path holding a large bamboo basket. Inside the basket were fruits that had just been washed. Most of the fruits were green and smooth, shaped like long strips with several edges, and looked a bit hard.

"Are you calling me here?" She walked down the stone steps and put down the bamboo basket. Only then did she have time to look at the girl standing at the foot of the hillside.

"This is... Jialan?"

Loran Hill's appearance has basically not changed, and this rare appearance is always impressive, so Bai Zao recognized him at once.

Looking at the girl whom he had not seen for many years, Bai Zao smiled, then walked down quickly and came to Luo Lan Hill.

"Is it Jialan?"

"Yes, Sister Bai Zao, I'm back to see you." Luo Lan Hill also responded happily.

"What a rare guest! I thought you wouldn't come back. After all, Xiao Jialan is so beautiful, she might have married into a wealthy family." Bai Zao circled around Luo Lan Hill, as if he wanted to get to know her again, and spoke teasingly. Although his figure was more mature than before, his personality was still the same.

"Come with me, are you here alone?" As he said that, Bai Zao took Luo Lanxi'er's hand and walked towards the hillside. Along the way, many villagers waved to him in a friendly manner, asking where the guests came from and saying that the girl was really pretty.

When I returned to the wooden building on the mountainside, someone at home had already prepared tea. Clear amber liquid poured out from the old teapot with a broken corner, with some tea leaves and flower petals floating in it. A faint fragrance wafted over, making me feel relaxed.

"You sit down first, I'll change my clothes. I just sweated a little." Bai Zao asked Luo Lanxier to sit in the lobby, put down the bamboo basket, and then walked into the room next to him.

While Loran Hill was sitting in the lobby, a few little heads popped out of the door, and the children looked at the guest who had just arrived in the village curiously.

Loran Hill waved gently to the children who were looking at her with wide eyes, said "Hello~" and then didn't know how to coax them. She has never been good at dealing with children.

The children looked at Loran Hill and waved, but did not respond. Perhaps they did not understand the greeting. The accent of the locals was quite different from that of the outside world.

After a while, Bai Zao walked out of the house, now wearing a light blue dress with white embroidery, which looked slightly cool and comfortable.

"You guys don't need to stay here for now. Come back later in the evening. There will be delicious food."

"Great! Aunt Bai is so nice~" With that, the children dispersed and ran to other places to play.

At this time, the room became a little quieter, and Bai Zao and Luo Lanxier began to talk.

"Jia Lan doesn't look like she's changed at all. This means she must have learned some powerful technique."

While some villagers were surprised by Luo Lanxi's unchanging appearance, Bai Zao found it easy to understand. She had trained in the Red Immortal Sect in her early years and had seen powerful priestesses and high-ranking emissaries within the sect, many of whom maintained youthful appearances.

"Yes, I practiced some techniques." Loran Hill nodded, and then talked about her experience after leaving Minze.

…

"I didn't expect that he went to a big sect. It's really amazing." Bai Zao is a few knowledgeable people in the village. He knows how difficult it is to enter a big sect and how terrifying the strength of the sect is.

"No wonder you haven't come back all these years. At first I thought you had an accident and I was a little sad. Now it seems that the internal assessment is strict and you don't have much time to go out." Bai Zao automatically imagined what Luo Lanxier had experienced over the years.

"Well, I've been through a lot, so I came back to see Sister Bai now." Loran Hill said embarrassedly.

It has been nearly 20 years since she left this mountain village, went to study in the Xiangyu Sect, and then came back from the Western Continent. Things have really changed. Uncle Yu Baichou has finally reaped the rewards of his hard work and has acquired a lot of skills, while Sister Baizao, who was once newlywed, is now in her thirties and almost forty years old.

Time flies, the girl sighed slightly.

"How is Sister Bai Zao doing now?"

"I'm fine. This mountain village doesn't have the rich and exciting experiences that Jialan had. It's relatively peaceful on a daily basis, with only some unrest in recent years."

Bai Zao also talked about the changes over the years. After a few years of marriage, she gave birth to two children. However, both children are not around now. One went to "Zhushanyuan" to study, and the other was asked by her former fellow sisters to be brought to the Chixian Sect to practice.
