Chapter 1213 I am curious about your origins
"Well, what you're saying are just legends, right? If this tree was really planted by the Empress, then countless people would come here to pray and kneel down. How could it be that only a few people know about its existence?"
"Don't be skeptical. I heard that the Empress planted it when she and her husband were out for a stroll. Many people don't know this, so only the locals know this legend."
"That makes sense. This Marriage City was utterly dilapidated in the early years. Back then, the rumors about the tree hadn't spread, and not many people came here. But none of these locals moved away. Adults and children alike, they all stayed here. Now, with more and more people coming and going, the locals are becoming more and more prosperous."
Yun Guiyue listened to their discussion and looked at Jun Xuanche beside her. "Do you know this story?"
Jun Xuanche responded, "Yeah."
"Hmm?" Yun Guiyue asked doubtfully. "They said this is something only the locals know. Have you been here a long time ago? Or... were you already alive when this tree was planted?"
Jun Xuanche was silent.
Yun Guiyue approached Jun Xuanche and said, "No way, are you really... that old?"
Jun Xuanche held her head and said helplessly, "Looking at me like that, aren't you afraid of falling?"
Yun Guiyue looked at him with amusement, "How could I fall so easily? But... this marriage tree is indeed interesting. Shall we go and take a look together?"
"Um."
Yun Guiyue hid the fleeting light in her eyes, her expression seemingly calm, and headed towards Marriage City with Jun Xuanche.
There are far more people here than imagined, of course most of them are men and women, they hold peach blossom branches for blessing in their hands, and wooden plaques with red tassels are hung on the branches.
The names of two people are engraved on the wooden sign.
Everyone's face was filled with happiness.
Yun Guiyue watched and couldn't help but be infected by this emotion, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Girls, you are here to seek marriage as well, right?"
Seeing Yun Guiyue and Jun Xuanche, an old woman came over with a big bunch of peach branches in her hands, and handed them a peach branch as they asked.
"Take this and pray. The marriage tree will hear the voice of your heart."
A flash of danger flashed across Yun Guiyue's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Old man, it seems like... you noticed us right away?"
The old woman smiled and said, "You two are so beautiful, even if my eyesight is not good, it would be difficult for me not to notice you at first glance."
Only after she finished speaking did she notice the danger in Yun Guiyue's eyes. Only then did she remember to observe the reactions of others. She found that the other people present seemed to be completely unaware of these two people, and their gazes did not linger for a moment.
The old woman's expression changed in an instant.
Yun Guiyue moved a little closer to her.
You know, the concealment done by the two of them was so great that not only would these people from Donghuang be attracted by them, even if Su Qianchen and the others stood in front of them, they might not be attracted by them and would definitely ignore them.
But this old woman, who seemed to be only at the Yuanshi level, and could be said to have no spiritual power at all, was able to find them in the crowd at a glance.
It can be seen that it is not simple.
"Old man, I'm very curious about your origins, and I'm even more curious about this tree..."
