Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a tall man chatting with a vendor.
The man had dark skin, a strong build, and was dressed like a hunter. The woman nestled in his arms was petite with a pretty face. She was wearing a brand new pink dress, and her belly was slightly bulging.
Whenever someone looked at her, she would smile shyly and lean into the man's arms.
It seems that they are a very loving couple.
The man named Wei Yan smiled cheerfully, "Boss, give me some fish. My wife is pregnant and needs some nourishment."
"Okay! I'll pick a big one for you!"
After paying, Wei Yan held up the fish and asked, "Madam, do you want to buy anything else?"
The woman's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was barely audible. "Brother Wei, it's not necessary, right? We have everything we need at home."
"How can that be possible! You're not alone now, you're two! What's more..."
Wei Yan lowered his voice slightly, "I went hunting in the mountains today and had a good harvest. When I sell it tomorrow morning, our family will have money, and my wife won't have to worry about spending more money."
"Well, let's wait until we sell the prey..."
The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
The group of people at the scene finally came to their senses.
Jiang Zhiling stroked his chin and pondered, "Could this Wei Yan be the master of the secret realm, Venerable Wei Yan?"
Ying Ling was confused and said, "Rumors only say that Venerable Wei Yan began his cultivation as an ordinary mortal, but I haven't heard that he has a wife."
"Who said it wasn't..." The others echoed.
"A few years ago, when I was on a mission, I saw a portrait of Venerable Wei Yan in a physical cultivation sect."
The one who spoke was Xia Chenqing. "Although their temperaments are completely different, Venerable Wei Yan's appearance is 90% similar to this person. If nothing unexpected happens, they are definitely the same person!"
"Also," Shi Zihang also said, "Did you notice that the figure of Venerable Wei Yan's wife is somewhat similar to the female ghost we saw in the mirror earlier?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked horrified.
If Venerable Wei Yan really got married when he was a mortal, why haven't they heard about it?
In other words, after Venerable Wei Yan became an immortal, what happened to his wife?
Everyone looked at each other and felt that they had accidentally discovered a huge secret.
"Walk!"
They chased in the direction Wei Yan and his wife left.
"Sister, stop eating, it's important to get down to business!"
Jiang Zhiling pulled Jiang Deng, who was still eating buns, and followed.
Along the way, everyone followed Wei Yan and his wife out of the market and into a small mountain village.
With the introduction of the village elders, they learned that Wei Yan's parents died early, his family had no money and no land, and was extremely poor. He was still single at the age of 20, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
At this time, Yao Lanxin from the same village was still unmarried at the age of 18 and was about to be forced into marriage by the government. Her loving parents had no choice but to find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for her. Finally, with the help of the matchmaker, she and Wei Yan got married.
Although they didn't know each other well before marriage, their relationship was very harmonious after marriage. They have been married for two years and have never quarreled. They are the most loving couple in the village.
After bidding farewell to the kind-hearted old men in the village, everyone arrived at the end of the village.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and in front of everyone was a house surrounded by a fence.
The yard is not small, but there are only three dilapidated thatched houses in it. There is only a mountain behind the house, which looks very desolate.
A group of people gathered outside the yard, pushing each other and shouting, "Go open the door!"
"Why should I go? Why don't you go?"
"Anyway, I'm not going. What if this Wei Yan is really the Venerable Wei Yan and thinks I've disturbed his sweet dreams and he just beats me to death?"
…
Seeing that everyone was about to continue to give way, Jiang Deng swallowed the last bite of his bun and said impatiently, "Shut up! If you don't dare to go, I, the Peak Master, will go!"
Jiang Deng was too lazy to talk nonsense with everyone, so he just walked up and kicked the wooden gate.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Jiang Deng kicked the two courtyard doors away, and the doors fell heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.
Everyone: “…”
We know you are strong, but you kicked down Venerable Wei Yan's courtyard door. Wasn't that a bit too much?
"ah!"
A woman's scream was heard in the house. She was obviously frightened by the noise of Jiang Deng kicking the door just now.
Wei Yan decisively picked up the homemade spear he used when hunting in the mountains, and went to the yard to confront the robbers who broke into the yard, "Where did you come from, you bandits, to dare to rob my home!"
Not to mention, when he looked stern and cold, he did have some of the demeanor of Venerable Wei Yan.
After looking at everyone, the wariness in Wei Yan's eyes was gradually replaced by confusion.
The leader was a tall girl who still kept her legs raised and kicking high. Obviously, it was she who kicked the wooden door in the yard just now.
Most of the people standing behind the girl were men, the youngest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the oldest looked no more than twenty-five years old.
The most important thing is that their clothes are extremely gorgeous, as if they can glow, and the fabrics are absolutely unaffordable for ordinary people. They are like... a group of young masters from aristocratic families.
Jiang Deng slowly lowered his legs, crossed his arms, and said confidently, "We are not bandits. We are students from the Imperial College who are on a picnic nearby. We passed by your house and wanted to stay overnight."
Although Wei Yan could not read a single word, when he went to the city to sell the prey he hunted, he took the opportunity to listen to many storytellers and learned that the Imperial College was an academy founded by the imperial court that gathered the most outstanding students in the world.
He looked at Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling and asked doubtfully, "Does the Imperial College still accept female disciples?"
Jiang Deng said seriously: "So we two sisters went through the back door!"
Everyone: “…”
They really admire Master Jiang Feng for his shameless spirit.
They could even say such things openly. Those who didn't know would think that using the backdoor was an alternative way of recruiting students for the Imperial College.
Judging from Jiang Deng's appearance and demeanor, he was indeed not an ordinary person. Wei Yan's guard had mostly dissipated, but he still said cautiously: "As you students have seen, my house is simple and I am afraid I cannot provide you with adequate hospitality. You should go and stay with other families in the village."
Without saying a word, Jiang Deng took out a handful of gold from his storage bag and threw an ingot to Wei Yan.
"Is that enough?"
Wei Yan pretended to return it to Jiang Deng, "My family is really not in a good position. My wife is pregnant and needs to rest. I really can't entertain you all."
Jiang Deng threw another ingot of gold, "Is that enough?"
Still the same words.
Wei Yan glanced back at the room and said in a dilemma, "No... I didn't make much for dinner, only enough for my wife and me. I really can't let you stay overnight."
"Is that enough?"
This time, Jiang Deng directly threw all the gold in his hand to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan decisively dropped the spear in his hand and greeted with a smile: "Enough, enough! Ladies and gentlemen, please come in--"
