There are countless mysterious places in the martial arts world, but if we were to ask what the most mysterious place is, it would probably be the Valley of Old Friends, located in Tianmai Mountain.
What is meant by "Valley of Old Friends"?
It is said that the people in the Valley of Old Friends are all people who have died in the martial arts world. But aren't the dead ghosts? The people in the Valley of Old Friends are also people, only they are people who have either disappeared in the legends of the martial arts world or are rumored to be dead. Some are here to escape the conflicts of the martial arts world, and some are here to find a quiet place. But not everyone can enter the Valley of Old Friends. Only those who are approved by the Valley Master, Dongfang Ye, can enter. Otherwise, even if you can find the entrance to the Valley of Old Friends, you will not be able to enter the valley through the various mechanisms.
Xue Ran was the only one who could obtain special privileges from Dongfang Ye, because he could bring in whomever he wanted at any time, such as Guan Yueyue from fifteen years ago.
Walking on the quiet cobblestone path, the boy remained silent the entire time. Feng Guang looked at the boy, who was slightly taller than him, and couldn't help but speak up, "Hey, what's your name?"
The boy replied indifferently, "Qingyu."
"Qingyu...you are Doctor Xue's apprentice?"
"Um."
"What kind of person is Doctor Xue? Is he easy to get along with? Does he have a bad temper?"
"Master is very good."
Feng Guang muttered to himself, "I don't think he'll be any good if he can raise an apprentice with a poker face."
“Miss Xia, please keep quiet and don’t wake the sleeping snake.”
Feng Guang shuddered, glanced at the surrounding trees, and stammered, "There...are snakes here?"
Qingyu glanced at her, then looked ahead.
"Hey, wait for me!" Feng Guang hurriedly chased after him. "I'm telling you, you need to change your cold personality, otherwise you won't attract any young girls in the future. Look at the martial arts alliance leader who is popular with countless young girls now. Isn't it because he always smiles at everyone that he attracts countless girls to fall head over heels for him?"
Qingyu didn't react, so she continued, "I think you're only twelve or thirteen years old this year. You're at the age when you should be innocent and carefree. Do you know that if you show a sunny smile, it will really please your aunt? You're pretty good-looking too, so it would be a shame if you didn't smile more."
Qingyu stopped in her tracks.
Feng Guang immediately looked at him happily, feeling that he had finally convinced him.
Qingyu coldly uttered three words, "You're annoying."
Then he continued walking forward.
Feng Guang was taken aback for a moment before remembering to reply, "You brat, I haven't even called you an ice-cold guy yet!"
As she muttered about how unlovable children could be, they emerged from the quiet mountain path and found themselves in a breathtaking view. Peach trees were in full bloom, terraced fields stretched across the hillside, streams flowed, waterwheels turned incessantly, the sound of the water was clear and refreshing, and people lived by the water, with houses standing in rows and wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys.
A child rides slowly across an ox, followed by a flock of ducks. Women call their children to dinner from their doorways, while men carry firewood along country paths. Anyone who sees this scene can't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful pastoral scene!"
With a blank expression, Feng Guang said to Qing Yu, "This is the old friend's... village?"
"Old Friends Valley." Qingyu gave her a look that seemed to say, "Do you have a bad memory?" and walked towards a wooden house on the hillside.
Feng Guang followed, saying, "You naughty Qingyu, you're not cute at all!"
Qingyu ignored her and walked to the hillside. He pushed open the fence, entered the courtyard, and saw the man under the peach tree. He respectfully called out, "Master."
The man was dressed in white with black hair, which flowed freely and unrestrained. His appearance was not exceptionally beautiful, but his gentle temperament was like the bright moonlight, as if he had stepped out of a painting. His extraordinary demeanor was beyond description.
He doesn't give people a stunning feeling, because he is like a fine tea that can only be savored slowly to appreciate his unparalleled talent. But for some women, such a person is more attractive than those men who win by appearance.
Feng Guang clutched her chest, her heart pounding wildly. She asked Qing Yu, "Good Qing Yu, do you need a master's wife?"
