Ye Xiruo brewed a pot of "Soul Cleansing" tea, then leaned back casually on a soft cushion she'd taken from her spatial storage. The flying boat was now under Xiu Qiyu's control, who was in charge of steering and speed. After working so many days, this was a holiday; she needed to rest and relax!
Sunset Valley is located on the edge of the continent, where the spiritual energy in the air is thin, incomparable to that of the Pill King Palace. Normally, Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo cultivate either in the Crystal Palace or in a spatial dimension, or they cultivate in the outside world using high-grade spirit stones. Now that they are outside Sunset Valley, the spiritual energy in the air is even thinner.
Ye Xiruo admired Xiu Qiyu even more at this moment. It was truly remarkable that he could maintain such a fast cultivation speed in such a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so thin.
Xiu Qiyu naturally wouldn't tell Ye Xiruo that he had always used high-grade spirit stones since he was a child; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly.
After the battle at Qinglian Heaven, Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo went to the Pill King Palace and haven't returned. They wondered if Liu Family Village was still there. Ye Xiruo suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous. I've done my research before. Although Liujia Village is close to the back mountain and is vulnerable to beast tides, the number of casualties each year is not high. The villagers even often go to the outer edge of the back mountain to hunt or search for treasure."
Actually, there's nothing to worry about. Liujia Village is where the original owner grew up, not where she grew up.
Aunt Wang and Brother Tiesheng were once sent to search for their whereabouts, but there was never any news, and she didn't know how they were doing.
"Brother Xiu Qi, do you have a disciple in your outer sect named Liu Tiesheng?"
Xiu Qiyu thought for a moment and said, "That's right, but it seems he's not in the sect."
What should have been a two-hour journey was stretched into three and a half hours by the two of them. They even had a meal in between, which was a leek pancake made by Ye Xiruo, eaten with beef sauce. The taste was absolutely wonderful.
Ye Xiruo's former small tiled house is indeed gone, leaving only ruins.
Some villagers, seeing the flying boat in the sky, knelt down in fear, thinking it was a deity and should not be offended.
Ye Xiruo felt a sudden sense of the impermanence of life. If she hadn't met her master and Brother Xiu Qi, she would now be one of those people worshipping immortals. The appearance of her master and Brother Xiu Qi completely changed her destiny.
Ye Xiruo had never seen most of those villagers before. Moreover, after embarking on cultivation, she had undergone a complete transformation, a far cry from her previous thin, malnourished appearance. It was impossible for her to be recognized.
The small tile-roofed house has been destroyed, and the Crystal Palace is not suitable for use in such a place. It is inevitable that we will have to build a few houses ourselves. This kind of laborious work was naturally handed over to Xiu Qiyu.
Ye Xiruo went out to inquire about Aunt Wang's whereabouts. She remembered Aunt Wang's house, but when she went inside, she found that no one had lived there for a long time, and the house was covered with a thick layer of dust. Some cabinets and tables were still there, but the kitchen was empty, with nothing except for a large iron pot.
Therefore, Ye Xiruo couldn't determine whether Aunt Wang left on her own or if something had happened that forced her to leave.
Ye Xiruo closed the door again, preparing to ask someone what had happened to Aunt Wang's family. Tie Sheng was also not in the sect, and she felt that there should be some connection between the two things.
The people of Liujia Village had not forgotten that Ye Xiruo was an "immortal," an all-powerful immortal who could fly through the air. Coupled with Ye Xiruo's noble demeanor and exquisite appearance, they almost knelt down in awe.
"Don't be nervous. I'm here to find out where the original owner of this house went."
"Alas, Immortal, you may not know this, but half a year ago, a great battle broke out in the back mountains. To escape the battle, this family moved to the town, planning to move back after the battle was over. However, an accident happened in town, and Tiesheng was severely injured, almost dying. To treat Tiesheng, Aunt Wang sold all the family's land, and now only this house remains, which will have to be sold sooner or later. Tiesheng was injured by you, Immortal, and ordinary medicine is useless. I heard his condition is already very bad; I don't know if he can make it through."
"Thank you for informing me." Ye Xiruo casually handed over a gold leaf and disappeared from the spot.
The woman was first startled by Ye Xiruo; she truly was an unfathomable immortal, vanishing in an instant. Then she was startled by the golden leaf in her palm, quickly biting it – it was real! She immediately tucked it into her arms and ran home, her heart pounding with excitement.
This was a gold leaf! She had only ever heard of gold leaves in her life, but had never actually seen one. A single gold leaf could be exchanged for five hundred taels of silver; that would mean a lifetime of comfort. No wonder the villagers always loved to boast about immortals!
This one gold leaf is enough. It's worth it, even if it meant her death, let alone questioning her. We must hurry back and hide it well, and keep this matter buried deep in our hearts forever. Presumably, the immortal gave so much money because he didn't want anyone to know about this.
Fortunately, she told the immortal everything she knew, without hiding a single word.
Xiu Qiyu was cleaning up the ruins in the courtyard when Ye Xiruo, dressed in a purple gauze dress, suddenly appeared in the courtyard with a slightly angry expression on her face.
Xiu Qiyu quickly stopped what she was doing: "Has something happened?"
"Liu Tiesheng is in trouble. He was beaten and seriously injured, and his life hangs by a thread. That's why he can't return to the sect. Aunt Wang sold all the family property to pay for Tiesheng's medical treatment."
Xiu Qiyu patted Ye Xiruo's head: "It's not too late yet, there's still a chance to help. Little Ye, don't worry too much, let's go find them right away! Although Luoxia Valley is just a small Yellow-level power, it is still one of the top powers in Ruiguo. Liu Tiesheng is a disciple of Luoxia Valley, even though he is only an outer disciple, but I have to do something about him being bullied like this."
“I don’t care about all that. After my parents passed away one after another, Aunt Wang’s family took great care of me. If it weren’t for Aunt Wang, I might have starved to death or died of illness long ago. I will never forget this kindness.”
"Don't worry too much. Now that we're here, we certainly won't stand idly by. Let's pack up and set off!"
The two quickly disguised themselves, took out Hua Rong's very flashy divine carriage, got in, and flew towards the town. In fact, at their speed, they could reach the town in the blink of an eye, but since they were going to seek revenge, they naturally wanted to make a grand entrance.
