Chapter 16

Village chief visits

Seven days have passed since Feng Ning recruited disciples to leave.

Yujiang Village returned to peace again.

There were many gifts placed in the village chief's house, all of which were congratulations from the villagers. Some were eggs, some were vegetables, and some were low-level spiritual plants from the spiritual fields, which were stored in wooden boxes and piled up.

These days, there are a lot more pieces of meat in the family’s meals.

At lunch time, the village chief and his family sat around the dining table.

"It's been only a few days since the excitement began, and it's already passed. I wonder how the little girl is doing under the immortal's tutelage?" said the village chief's wife.

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately retorted, "Don't think too much. Immortals emphasize 'breaking worldly ties'. If an immortal takes you away, just treat her as if she is gone. Don't think of trying to get benefits by being a relative. You'll be fine!"

Such things have happened before. There are many families whose children are taken away by immortals to be made disciples, and there are also many families who are reluctant to separate their children. But if they come to bother you every now and then, getting beaten is the least of the worries, but losing your life is the most serious.

The village head's wife lowered her head, with some unconvinced eyes. No matter how much she cultivated immortality, she was still her mother. How could she really 'sever worldly ties' with her?

She glanced at the pile of gifts in the corner and suddenly thought of Yan Qingyan. There had been no news from her in so many days and she hadn't given them any gifts.

The village head's wife asked gossipingly, "What do you think the couple Ling Shao and his wife have been doing these days? They don't plant the spiritual fields anymore, and they don't go out anymore. Are they trying to have a baby?"

"Who knows? Big families have many secrets. Don't ask about his family affairs in the future." When the village chief heard his wife mention Ling Mochen, he suddenly remembered what happened a month ago.

Ling Shao stopped him on the way to the town, led him through the road in a pace that seemed like he was avoiding a trap, and stuffed some silver into his pocket and told him not to tell anyone. He sensed there was some secret at the time, until later there were rumors in the town that four immortals were dead, and the perpetrators were suspected to be casual cultivators from other places, and their bodies were found halfway between Yujiang Village and the town.

The village chief felt a chill in his heart, and from then on, he decided not to have any contact with them if possible.

But the wife of the village chief didn't think so. She was still thinking about the magical "water". She thought that her little girl was chosen by the immortal, and she could ask for it under the pretext of receiving gifts. However, she didn't expect that the immortal didn't even send a gift.

"What's wrong with a big family? Our little girl was selected into the Biyue Sect. I heard that this sect is much more powerful than that couple's family." The village head's wife looked repulsive when she mentioned the big family.

The last time the Yan family manager came to their village, he really didn't give them any face at all. After all, this manager of her family was also the village chief, but he actually treated him like a slave.

She had accumulated a lot of resentment over the years.

"And I heard that after an old man in the neighboring village died, his son, who had been away from home for more than ten years, returned to cultivate himself and taught everyone who had bullied him a lesson. He is not as heartless as you say."

The village chief was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly it occurred to him, yes, he is now the father of a disciple of the Biyue Sect. With this relationship, it would be intimidating if he told others about it, right?

Even if you want to silence him, you have to think about whether you will be retaliated by his daughter in the future.

The village chief thought of the former manager of the Yan family who had ordered him around and scolded him. Was the shadow he had cast on him too deep?

"I'll go and ask tomorrow." Seeing that the village chief's attitude had softened, the village chief's wife made the decision immediately.

......

call--

“Done!”

Yan Qingyan carefully picked up a piece of talisman paper, and it finally stopped spontaneously combusting!

Looking at this freshly-made first-grade fire talisman, Yan Qingyan felt a sense of accomplishment rising in her chest.

"From today on, I am a first-class talisman master!"

Yan Qingyan carefully put the fire talisman into the drawer and took out another blank talisman paper.

If you succeed the first time, you will succeed the second time.

The second fire talisman had just been drawn when there was a noise at the entrance of the house.

"Who's here? Isn't there a do not disturb sign on the door?"

"The village chief's wife?"

Yan Qingyan saw the person coming through the grass and trees at the door, opened the door and walked out.

Seeing Yan Qingyan go out, the village head's wife hurriedly called out, "Qingyan, why are you staying at home for so many days? Why don't you come out for a walk?"

"Is there something wrong?" Yan Qingyan asked lightly.

Her usual signature smile was gone from her face; only a barely perceptible curve remained at the corner of her mouth, and her gaze towards the village head's wife was calm.

Yan Qingyan was very sensitive to people, and the village chief's wife seemed to be a little resistant to her when they first met.

The same is true for the village chief.

Yan Qingyan originally thought that since it was their first meeting, the relationship would naturally change after getting to know each other, but some people might just be born with incompatible magnetic fields, like the wife of the village chief.

Then reduce the exchanges.

"I just came to visit and chat. My little girl was taken to the Biyue Sect by the immortal, and I'm worried. You come from a big family and you're well-informed. I wanted to ask you about it. Can you open the door and let me in to chat?" The village head's wife thought she had found a very good excuse.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much. I have something else to do and it's not convenient for me to chat. Please go back, Mrs. Jiang." Yan Qingyan replied indifferently.

Her home only welcomes people who are friendly to her.

Moreover, the only information she knew about the Biyue Sect was about Yin Siwen, her enemy, and his father who was in the Nascent Soul stage.

The village head's wife choked and looked a little ugly.

Return home.

The village head's wife slammed the table and became angrier the more she thought about it.

"These big families are all the same, none of them are easy to get along with!"

"What's wrong?" asked the village chief.

"What's wrong? How the Yan family's steward treated you before, the Yan family's daughter treats me the same way now!" The village head's wife's chest heaved.

I used to think that the new manager of the Yan family was easy to talk to, but I didn’t expect that all big families are the same!

The village chief looked grim, recalling some bad memories.

There was a scene where he was ordered around like a servant, a scene where he was slapped in front of the whole village, and a scene where the door of his house was kicked in and broken...

Did Yan Qingyan beat his spouse?

......

night.

A dark shadow was lurking in the shadows.

The walls of the houses in Yujiang Village are not high. Even the residence used by the Yan family's steward is only slightly more imposing than other houses.

The village chief found a secluded corner and quietly climbed up the wall.

Seeing his wife so angry this morning, he also became angry and recalled the past when he was bullied by the previous managers of the Yan family.

Memories came flooding back like a tide, and the more he thought about the past, the angrier he got.

The emotions that are suppressed by patience will not disappear, but will erode your reason in another form of destructive desire at certain special moments.

As night fell, the village chief somehow found his way towards the familiar house.

A jar of diluted spiritual spring water was quietly placed in the backyard, which made the village chief a little jealous.

The Yan family has bullied our family for so long, is it okay to ask for some of the debt?
