Peach Blossom Spring is nestled within a hundred miles of mountains, its terrain undulating and hidden. For thousands of years, no one has discovered this secluded paradise, partly due to the intentional efforts of the Peach family, but also because of its ingenious topography. In such a remote place, who would have imagined that a paradise on earth existed?
The mountains were shrouded in mist, with visibility extremely low. The mountain paths were damp and difficult to traverse, but Liao Kongmin walked as if on flat ground, calmly and leisurely crossing one high mountain cliff after another.
“Little one, this is the Peach Blossom Spring.” Liao Kongmin tore open a hole in the door.
Standing atop the cliff, overlooking the breathtaking scenery of heaven and earth.
Nestled among the mountains is a basin where peach blossoms flutter and cover the hillsides, like a snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, rooted and unshaken by wind and rain.
"It's beautiful," Ji Xiaoxiao said sincerely.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked through the crack in the formation and saw that Peach Blossom Spring truly lived up to its name. Peach blossoms were everywhere, their pink petals painting the world, while the lush green leaves swayed in the breeze, creating a vibrant scene.
Liao Kongmin smiled silently and led Ji Xiaoxiao to his home in this life.
"The master of Peach Blossom Spring, Peach Spot, has returned."
The news spread like wildfire. As soon as Liao Kongmin arrived at the town gate of Peach Blossom Spring, he saw a group of excited, crazy fans pushing and shoving each other, vying for the spot closest to the main road.
"Peach Master, I love you, Peach Master, I love you." The young man expressed his feelings directly, his eyes filled with tears as he confessed his true feelings to Liao Kongmin.
"Thank you everyone." Liao Kongmin's smile was somewhat stiff.
"Ah..." The crowd surged forward.
"Don't push, don't shove, don't..."
After spending a lot of time, Liao Kongmin finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd.
Sneaking home, Liao Kongmin's air of otherworldly wisdom vanished completely.
"Hahaha...you're quite popular as the Peach Master!" Ji Xiaoxiao laughed.
"Don't laugh at me. I'm not worthy of such a beautiful woman's favor."
Liao Kongmin shuddered as he recalled the warmth of the residents of Peach Blossom Spring.
It's terrifying, as terrifying as a flood or a ferocious beast!
Liao Kongmin sat down to rest, and the servants in the house quickly brought him hot tea.
Taking small sips, Liao Kongmin's disordered breathing gradually calmed down.
"I thought I misheard, Peach Master, you're really back?"
Before you see him, you hear his voice.
"Who?" Ji Xiaoxiao relayed the message to Liao Kongmin.
The man's voice was melodious and pleasant, like a flowing mountain stream, lingering for days. Ji Xiaoxiao, upon first hearing it, felt a chill run down her spine, a cold wind seeping into her skin, and her heart pounding with fear.
"The big villain." Liao Kongmin's tone was filled with undisguised disgust and loathing.
"The main villain? That traitor?"
"It's him, that traitor, Momochi."
Tao Qian approached gracefully, a smile as warm as spring on his face, appearing utterly innocent and harmless. However, Ji Xiaoxiao observed that although Tao Qian smiled warmly, his eyes were deep and devoid of any joy, and his sharply angled eyebrows added to his imposing aura.
"This man is not simple!" Ji Xiaoxiao thought to herself.
"Tao Qian, how could the Grand Elder bear to let you out?"
Liao Kongmin remained seated and motionless.
“My master hasn’t seen you in a long time and misses you very much, so he sent me to check on your health and whether your cultivation has improved.”
Tao Qian, ever the sociable one, took a seat below Liao Kongmin without a second thought.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder." Liao Kongmin cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Of course, you are the master of Peach Blossom Spring." Tao Qian smiled, but her heart was not.
Liao Kongmin put down his teacup and looked at Tao Qian with a serious expression.
"Tao Qian, is there anything else?"
Liao Kongmin gave him the order to leave.
"Peach Master, you still dislike me so much." Tao Qian stood up, a frustrated and heartbroken expression on her face. "Peach Master, I admire you, so why do you avoid me like the plague?"
"Do you expect me to tell you every single thing that has happened over the past few years?"
The pressure from the Foundation Establishment cultivator came suddenly, catching Tao Qian off guard. She lay sprawled on the ground with her limbs spread out.
“You’re a Foundation Establishment cultivator now,” Tao Qian said through gritted teeth.
Damn it, no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up to him, Momo-sama!
"I won't touch you for now, Tao Qian. You'd better pray that the Grand Elder lives to be a hundred years old, or that my cultivation will stop at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, once your advantages gradually disappear, I won't show you any mercy."
The Grand Elder was the most accomplished cultivator in Peach Blossom Spring, a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator. Liao Kongmin had caught Tao Qian in the act several times, but because Tao Qian's master was the Grand Elder, the matter was always easily dismissed without causing any trouble.
"Get out!" Poisonous snakes, scorpions, drugs, schemes—Tao Qian would stop at nothing to get rid of this thorn in her side. Seeing Tao Qian openly and subtly belittling him, Liao Kongmin was furious.
With the oppressive aura receding, Tao Qian relaxed as a swallow, patted her bottom, and left indignantly.
"Why didn't you kill him? Your cultivation level is far superior to his."
Ji Xiaoxiao looked confused. Liao Kongmin understood her perfectly; she knew his anger and hatred perfectly well. Since he was enduring so much, why not just cleanly and decisively deal with Tao Qian?
“Tao Qian’s master is known for being fiercely protective of her own. I killed her disciple, and she will never let me go, even if I am the master of Peach Blossom Spring.”
Liao Kongmin casually told Ji Xiaoxiao about the power distribution in Peach Blossom Spring.
The Peach Blossom Spring has a Peach Lord and seven elders. The Peach Lord governs the Peach Blossom Spring, and the seven elders assist the Peach Lord. This has been the case since ancient times. The two complement each other and work together to protect the Peach Blossom Spring.
As the saying goes, greed knows no bounds, and power struggles gradually erupted. Factionalism, blood ties, and master-disciple relationships became the basis for dividing factions. To this day, there are three forces in Peach Blossom Spring: the orthodox force controlled by the Peach Lord—Peach Life; the Elder Council led by the seven elders; and the Peach Blossom Spring Self-Defense Force.
