They entered the house where the indifferent villager had hosted them. They had prepared a room for Bai Xi and Yun Nuan, while Ye Guoliang was arranged to stay in another room.
The indifferent villager said, "Just call me Amu."
Bai Xi: "Okay, Amu."
Amu looked up in surprise upon hearing this.
He hesitated, then left without saying anything.
As soon as Amu left, tourists started coming this way.
Wow! Are you here to make a wish too?
At this moment, a group of young people walked over; judging by their age, they were probably high school students.
When the group of high school students saw Bai Xi and Yun Nuan, a hint of amazement flashed in their eyes.
Especially that girl named Bai Xi, she's so beautiful.
At this moment, Bai Xi saw an acquaintance.
When the acquaintance saw Bai Xi, his eyes lit up.
"Master Baixi".
This person was Rong Huan, who came to this wishing village with his classmates.
His family has always been extraordinary, and he has always believed in the existence of wishing trees.
He heard that his classmate was going to Wishing Village and invited him, so he came along.
He hadn't expected Master Baixi to be here, and that he would see her again.
Bai Xi never expected to see Rong Huan again.
She gave him a brief greeting.
Rong Huan was thrilled to see that she still remembered him.
He walked over and said, "Master Baixi, what are you doing here?"
Bai Xi: "I have some things to take care of here."
Rong Huan knew she was a Taoist priest, and her presence here must be related to some metaphysical matters.
He had intended to ask her if it was about the wishing tree.
Several classmates behind him then spoke up.
"Rong Huan, you know her?"
Rong Huan said, "Yes, her name is Bai Xi. You can just call her Master Bai Xi."
These classmates had previously heard Rong Huan call her Master Bai Xi, which they found strange.
This person isn't very old, looks like a college student, so why is he called a master?
As a result, Rong Huan not only called it himself, but also made them call it.
They're all around the same age, so is it appropriate for them to call her "Master"?
This is highly inappropriate.
Bai Xi said, "You can just call me Bai Xi."
A girl with a sweet tongue immediately smiled and said, "Let's call you Sister Baixi."
Seeing this, the others chimed in, "Yes, we'll call you Sister Baixi."
Bai Xi had no objection and let them call her that; after all, it was just a name.
The girl with the sweet tongue is named Chen Huayue. She is Rong Huan's classmate and deskmate, and the two are very close.
She has a lively and cheerful personality, and she hit it off with Bai Xi at first sight. She quickly went over and said, "Sister Bai Xi, how did you and Rong Huan meet? I didn't know he had such a good-looking friend."
Bai Xi didn't want to talk about ghosts, so she only said, "I went to his house a while ago and I'm familiar with his cousin, so that's how we met."
"Oh, I see," a fat man said.
Rong Huan introduced his classmates to Master Bai Xi. When it was the turn of the fat man, he said, "Master Bai Xi, you can just call him Fatty Seaweed."
Fat Seaweed looked honest and cute. When Rong Huan introduced himself to her, he scratched his head shyly.
Rong Huan and his four classmates also got to know Bai Xi and Yun Nuan.
At this moment, Amu came over to call them.
"The village chief has prepared dinner for you. You can go now."
“Okay!” Chen Huayue immediately replied.
Then the group went out in a grand procession.
The dining area was outside, and because there were many people, the villagers of Zhangshu Village set up a shed outside.
Everyone was eating under the shed, and from a distance it looked like a banquet was being held.
At this moment, the moon and stars appeared in the sky.
Zhangshu Village is located near the mountains, and there are no other residents around. In this quiet place, the stars in the sky are exceptionally bright.
Bai Xi and his two friends sat at a table with these high school students.
Rong Huan sat down next to Bai Xi and said, "Master Bai Xi, have you noticed how strange those villagers are? Some of them have such blank expressions, like someone owes them money."
Chen Huayue also came over to speak.
Ye Guoliang reminded them, "Speak in a low voice, so that no one can hear you."
They were puzzled.
Ye Guoliang continued, "This village is not the kind of tourist village you're imagining."
"By the way, you guys better not make any wishes next, understand?"
Rong Huan asked in confusion, "Why?"
Ye Guoliang lowered his voice and said sharply, "Why are there so many 'whys'? Making a wish carelessly could cost you your lives."
The group of high school students were all frightened by Ye Guoliang's gaze.
This grandpa is so fierce.
How come those two older sisters are so gentle, yet they're with an ugly, old, and fierce grandfather?
If Ye Guoliang knew what these kids thought of him, he'd probably be so angry his eyes would pop out.
Bai Xi said, "There's something strange about the wishing tree."
Upon hearing this, they paused and looked at Bai Xi.
A look of surprise appeared in Rong Huan's eyes; he knew Master Bai Xi's abilities.
If Master Baixi says there's something strange, then there must be something strange.
Chen Huayue whispered, "...Really?"
Rong Huan said, "You believe in Master Baixi. If she says something is strange, then it must be strange."
The high school students all nodded in agreement.
Master Baixi and Rong Huan both looked quite serious now, not like they were joking.
Ye Guoliang, "..."
As the president of the Taoist Association, no one listens to what he says. It's one thing to easily believe what Miss Bai Xi says, but why do they also believe that little brat named Rong Huan?
This was the first time he had been outmaneuvered by this group of high school students.
As the president, Ye Guoliang had accumulated a lot of prestige over the years, and these high school students were mostly afraid of him.
After the meal, some villagers cleared away the tables, chairs, and tableware.
Everyone sat under the wishing tree and chatted.
Time passed by, and after eight o'clock, someone couldn't help but excitedly exclaim.
"Ah! It's finally eight o'clock!"
The villagers set out the items they were going to use for the ceremony.
The tourists all stood by and watched.
After everything was done, the old village chief called out to everyone, "Alright, you can make your wishes now."
After saying that, everyone put their hands together under their chins, closed their eyes, and thought about the wishes they wanted to fulfill.
Those rascals who had been warned by Ye Guoliang and Bai Xi did not make any wishes, but quietly opened one eye to look at the tourists who were making wishes.
Their faces were filled with piety, as if their wishes had already been fulfilled.
Bai Xi stood there, watching the black dots fly out from the tourists' bodies and fly towards the wishing tree.
A few seconds later, the black dots entered the wishing tree.
Soon after, more black dots flew out of the wishing tree and entered the bodies of the tourists.
After making their wishes, everyone opened their eyes.
The old village chief smiled and said, "Alright, you've made your wishes, you can go back to sleep now."
Upon hearing this, the tourists smiled happily.
