Chapter 202: An Honest Village
“We won! Let’s head back to the village!”
“Everyone will be very excited.”
A crowd gathered around Shangguan Xi Wei and the others, chattering loudly. Even the Elders of the Ancient Spirit Tribe were smiling.
“Brother Yi Su, please be at ease.”
Shangguan Yan, Shangguan Yu, and the rest reached Su Yi’s side and were very friendly.
The other young people from the Ancient Spirit Village kept curiously sizing Su Yi up on the way back. All of them were curious about a young man that had come from the outside.
Shangguan Yan, Shangguan Yu, and the rest kept telling them stories about how Su Yi had saved them and defeated Xiong Lie while exaggerating the details, which shocked the young people.
The elders from the Ancient Spirit Village accompanying them heard about it and secretly had a change of expression. Along the way, they kept hiddenly sizing Su Yi up.
While Su Yi was chatting with Shangguan Yu and the rest, he was also secretly sizing up his surroundings.
This heaven of peace and happiness had an endless mountain range where the surroundings of it were lofty mountains with a grand ravine.
There were chains of groups of mountains with continuous giant peaks and towering verdant.
Occasionally, many spiritual birds and strange beasts could be seen leaping from the mountain forest.
Finally, as the sun sank and night fell, a massive ancient structure with a vintage vibe appeared in the front. It was a vast village.
“They are back. Brother Chen Feng, Sister Xi Wei, and the rest are back!”
At the moment, the village entrance, with chains of massive rocks and a small square, was crowded with people. Everyone was ecstatic when they saw those who had returned.
Some kids with tender and delicate appearances, while their faces were still chubby with baby fat, rushed forward to welcome them.
There were also youngsters that were younger than 20 years old that came rushing forward passionately and affectionately to welcome the people returning to the village.
“Haha, little brats, we are back!”
Shangguan Qing Ming chuckled loudly and stepped forward, scooping a 3-4-year-old boy and a girl with apple hair and a chubby face into his arm and purposefully stroking his beard into the two small children’s faces.
“Hehe, bad Uncle Qing Ming.”
The boy and girl kept avoiding him as his beard prickled them, yet they were very affectionate with Shangguan Qing Ming.
“Did you guys goof off?”
“Have you guys trained hard for your cultivation?”
Shangguan Xi Wei, Shangguan Yan, and the rest also came forward happily, mixing together with those young people, but with the pride of an elder sister and brother.
Even Shangguan Chen Feng, with a sharp and cold temperament, was also presently bending his body down to hug a little girl into his arm with a face full of adoration.
“Oh my, is this a Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard?!”
“And Cold Jade Demonic Eagle!”
Everyone’s attention subsequently fell onto the bodies of the eye-catching Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard and the Cold Jade Demonic Eagle.
With such two enormous beasts, it would be impossible to avoid people’s attention.
“That’s right; it is the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard and the Cold Jade Demonic Eagle!”
Shangguan Xi Wei stated to the surprised young men and women, her gaze gradually shifting to Su Yi, who was near her, and giving him a grin as she nodded her head with a message.
Su Yi had been continually sizing up everything in secret. Was this the Ancient Spirit Village? From the mass of people at the entrance of the village, regardless of age and gender, all of them had exceptional auras.
The leading elders and middle-aged people at the front had bronzed skin and wore simple clothing, yet their eyes were shining with vitality while, indistinctly, their auras were extremely powerful.
“So many strong cultivators. What a terrifying village.”
Su Yi’s heart was secretly surging in big waves as he tried hard to bear with the shock.
It was definitely a terrifying village. Just by counting the number of auras at the Yuan Void Realm alone, Su Yi could secretly feel many of them.
“Qing Ming, how is it?”
When an elder at the village entrance noticed the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard, he inquired of Shangguan Qing Ming with a concerned look.
“The first round, we won!”
Shangguan Qing Ming placed the two fellows down and nodded his head to the elder that had spoken.
“Won, we have won the first round!”
Hearing that, the entire people were boiling up, as many secretly imposing and anxious hearts finally let out a breath.
“We won the first round.”
Many people revealed the expression of happiness as they looked very excited and happy.
“Xi Wei, my place is small, and I’m concerned I won’t be able to provide a place for my good nephew, Yi Su. The place where you live appears suitable. Why don’t you bring my good nephew, Yi Su, to stay with you?” Shangguan Qing Ming suggested to Shangguan Xi Wei.
“No problem.”
Shangguan Xi Wei looked at Su Yi. People could not discern the look that rushed past her eyes, leaving no trace.
“That’s good. My good nephew, Yi Su, you shall first accompany Xi Wei to rest. Tomorrow, I shall let Shangguan Yan take you for a trip around the village.” Shangguan Qing Ming said to Su Yi, smiling.
“Sure.”
Su Yi nodded his head. When he witnessed such a scene before his eyes, his heart felt touched. In this village that was separated from the world, every one of them was honest, which caused the guard in his heart to be secretly a little relaxed.
Shangguan Xi Wei came forward and brought Su Yi into the village.
“Eh, who is he?”
“There is also a featherless chicken.”
“Can this chicken be roasted and eaten?”
“……”
Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard followed behind while Su Tian Que, who was on top of the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard, became the center of attention.
“Qing Ming, that is…”
Glancing at Su Yi, the elder who had spoken also felt very doubtful.
“I will tell you later. That is little brother Yi Su, the benefactor of my Ancient Spirit Village, an esteemed guest.” Shangguan Qing Ming interrupted the elder’s words.
The people at the entrance of the village all became even more curious.
Su Yi didn’t find it unusual. It was natural for residents in such a remote village where no outsider had ever visited before to think it strange that an outsider like him had suddenly arrived.
Following after Shangguan Xi Wei, Su Yi entered the village.
Even though this was only a village, Su Yi could feel that the village was huge with a large population.
Su Yi was very interested in this village with an air of antiquity. Many of the buildings had been built with huge rocks.
There were also sky-high trees in the village like a large umbrella. Unexpectedly, there were also spirit birds and strange beasts swaggering in the village.
“All these are raised and trained in the village. We are separated from the outside world, so this might be a little different.”
Shangguan Xi Wei could see through Su Yi’s curiosity and continued: “You can stay in my house for the time being. I don’t have a lot of family members, as only my grandma and I live here; therefore, it will be a lot quieter.”
“What about your parents?” Su Yi was a little surprised.
“I……”
After hearing that, there was some fluctuation rising in Shangguan Xi Wei’s eyes as though something in the depth of her heart was stirred.
Following a little silence, Shangguan Xi Wei spoke with a smile on her face and the same expression: “My father had left the village before I was born. My mother suffered from depression after giving birth to me. She passed away when I was two years old, and no medication was effective. As a result, my grandmother and I were the only people left in our home, and we were dependent on one another.”
After listening to Shangguan Xi Wei’s words, Su Yi’s heart for no reason was as though struck by electricity as it trembled.
His parents had also left him when he was small while his grandfather and he depended on each other.
“Sorry…”
Su Yi stagnated as he glanced at Shangguan Xi Wei, full of earnestness.
The feeling of having no parents since young, Su Yi knew it all too well.
In comparison, Su Yi felt that he was a little more fortunate than Shangguan Xi Wei, as his mother seemingly had no choice but to leave.
