Leng Yan, the foremost genius of the cultivation world, a true favored child of heaven, was also known as the ice-cold beauty of the cultivation realm, with countless suitors. Due to a momentary wh...
Leng Yan's concerns were indeed correct. She helped rescue the villagers in the next few days and did not sleep for several days.
The prerequisite for saving people was to drain the water from the village. Leng Yan went to the city lord that day to ask for a layout map. After reviewing it and discussing it with the city lord and finding that the city lord had no objection, Leng Yan walked out of the city lord's mansion with his sword in hand.
When they were going out, they happened to meet Xing Luo and Leng Yan who were going out together. Xing Luo saw Leng Yan walking out and called out to Leng Yan curiously and asked: "Jia Yang, where are you going? Let's go together."
Leng Yan said, "I'm going to deal with the flood. Do you want to go?" Xing Luo said, "Forget it. We need to go see the villagers and treat their illnesses. Come back soon."
Leng Yan nodded and said, "You too, come back early. Be careful." Xing Luo smiled and said, "I know." Then he saw Leng Yan leaving quickly with a sword.
After Leng Yan left, Xing Luo said to Mo Qinglan, "Let's go too." Mo Qinglan said with a smile, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Leng Yan arrived at a clearing outside the village, found a suitable spot, and drew out her sword. She then gathered her spiritual energy and swung it out with one final blow. As the sword energy descended, a deep gully appeared on the ground. The surrounding villagers felt the ground shake and were startled, but someone soon reassured them that it was the Fifth Princess helping them solve the flood problem. Only then did they feel at ease.
After a while, the villagers saw that the water that had been flooding the village was sucked up into the sky, and then the water flowed out of the village as if it had its own thoughts.
Some curious villagers followed the water flow in the air and saw that the water gathered into an extremely deep ravine. It was not long before the ravine was filled with water from all directions.
Seeing this, Leng Yan on the side calmly bent her finger and pointed. Then they saw that the river began to stretch and bend continuously, and finally became a river with no end in sight.
Seeing this scene, the villagers who followed immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, may Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess be blessed with good health." Leng Yan did not show up, but just waved his hand. The villagers kneeling on the ground felt that they were lifted up by an invisible force, and there was a hint of chill in that force.
But the chill was instantly borne away by the incoming wind. Seeing the water that had flooded the surrounding villages flow into the river, Leng Yan left. The villagers, after a moment's pause, assumed Leng Yan had left and followed suit. After everyone had departed, a little girl whispered, "Thank you, Fairy Sister." That girl was the one Leng Yan had saved the previous day.
She didn't expect that the fairy who saved her yesterday was actually the Fifth Princess of the current dynasty. Thinking of what the Fifth Princess had done for them in the past few days, she couldn't help but guess that the Fifth Princess must be an extremely beautiful person. After all, she was such a good person and must be very beautiful.
This made her wonder when she could finally meet the Fifth Princess. Then, she came to her senses and laughed at her own wishful thinking. The Fifth Princess was such a high-ranking figure that someone like her couldn't just say she would see her.
She walked slowly towards the village. When she was still some distance away, she saw villagers running into their village from all directions in surprise, with happy expressions on their faces.
The little girl was stunned at first, not knowing what was happening. Then she heard someone running past her say, "Hurry up, the Fifth Princess is here. I have to go and thank her."
When she heard this, she couldn't believe her ears. She stopped someone and asked, "Uncle, what did you just say?" The person saw that it was a little girl and smiled and said, "The Fifth Princess has come to your village, and we all want to go and see her."
After saying that, he was hurried away by his companions. The little girl was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she immediately ran into the village. Sure enough, the village was already full of people. They shouted: "Your Highness the Fifth Princess, thank you for your hard work in helping us. This is a small gift from us. Please accept it."
As he spoke, someone handed over the things in his hands. Those who came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with them were now regretting it so much that they should have brought something with them.
The little girl ran back to her home from the crowd. She went to her backyard, where there were several gardenia trees planted by her mother. She still remembered her mother smiling as she planted the gardenias.
She broke off a few branches. It was not summer yet and the gardenias had not yet bloomed, only buds. The pale white gardenia buds with a hint of green were small and cute, with a few water droplets on them.
She ran out of the house and watched Leng Yan reject other people's things. Her expression was calm from beginning to end. The little girl looked at Leng Yan. Although Leng Yan's face could not be seen clearly due to her veil, she could tell from her temperament and the pair of world-weary eyes that she was a very beautiful person. The little girl suddenly remembered what Mr. Zhou, the teacher in the village, had said about nobility.
The Fifth Princess exuded an air of nobility, a quality Mr. Zhou had described as something born into a wealthy family. While the Fifth Princess wasn't the gentle older sister she'd imagined, she was just as good a person as she'd imagined.
At this time, Leng Yan noticed that her eyes were looking at her. In an instant, she felt her heart stop and she couldn't help but become nervous.
At this moment, Leng Yan raised her hand and waved to her, "Come here." Everyone looked at her. After the little girl confirmed that it was her, she trotted over. Everyone around her looked at her, with envy, jealousy, and novelty in their eyes, but no malice.
They made way for her, and she ran to Leng Yan. Finally, she mustered up the courage to hand the gardenia in her hand to Leng Yan, and said in a low voice: "This is from Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess."
Leng Yan looked at the gardenia bud in her hand and took it and asked: "Is it for me?" She blushed and nodded: "Yes." Leng Yan took the fruit and said: "Thank you."
The bunch of gardenias began to grow in her hands and finally bloomed. Everyone who saw this stared at this scene with wide eyes in disbelief. Although they knew that the fifth princess was an immortal, they were still surprised to see her for the first time.
At this moment, Leng Yan asked the little girl: "What's your name?" The little girl replied: "My name is Zhirong." Leng Yan nodded and praised: "It's a nice name."
Then he continued to ask: "Where are your family members?" Zhirong's eyes instantly turned red, and she said: "My family members were drowned by the flood." As she spoke, tears fell to the ground.
At this moment, she felt a chill on her face. She looked over and saw Leng Yan gently wiping away her tears with her fingertips. Her fingertips were a little cold, but her movements were very gentle.
She looked at Zhirong and asked, "Do you want to become my disciple and follow me to cultivate immortality?" As soon as she said this, everyone around her was stunned.
But the next second Leng Yan asked again, and this time Zhi Rong nods without hesitation and says, "I do." Then he kneels down to kowtow to Leng Yan but is stopped by Leng Yan. Leng Yan says, "You can become my disciple when we get back, there's no rush."
