Chapter 247: Old Folks of Peach Village; Gu Xianers Sweetheart!

[Upper Realm, Outer Domain]

[Deep within the Land of Abandoned Immortals]

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

A chaotic mist shrouded the eight cardinal directions, as majestic mountains towered over the world and pierced the sky, covering the horizon.

Accompanied by an endless canopy of Ancient Trees stretching further than the eye could see.

Fierce beasts of all types roamed around these lands, exuding a shocking Qi and Vitality, like mythical creatures from the Immortal Period.

No cultivator would dare casually pass through this area.

As even those residing outside the Land of Abandoned Immortals might still be torn apart by them.

Moreover, this place was full of poisonous miasma, which would strike any cultivator that inhaled it with incurable illnesses and diseases. Thus, over time, this place naturally became a land that even the immortals had abandoned.

Little to no cultivators would ever come here to practice.

However

In the depths of such a cursed land, laid a small, but peaceful village.

There were very few villagers in this village, with only about a hundred men, women, and children of all ages, all with simple and nave faces.

Yet everyone there also possessed astounding Qi and Vitality, even stronger than most cultivators.

And at the entrance of this village, stood a tall and gorgeous Peach Tree, raining down shining peach blossoms, each as crystal clear as jade. Chains of laws and order intertwined. Chaotic fogs immersed the surroundings into a mysterious realm of possibilities.

Xianer, that lass has been gone for far too long, and we dont even know how things are going on with her now. The old cripple said hed go out to solve the issue, yet he hasnt come back either

The old cripples sword art is unparalleled. Is there anything he cant solve with a single slash? If there really is, then its no big deal either, since he could always just slash twice.

Under the Peach Tree, several old folks were gathered together, either smoking cigarettes or sipping tea, looking rather leisurely.

However, their appearances were very strange.

Some were blind, or had broken limbs. One had no ears, and another was mute.

They all possessed some sort of physical disability.

At this moment, it was a blind man who was speaking, sighing with his arms behind his back.

He was worried about Gu Xianer, who had been away from the village for a while now, knowing full well about that deep, blood-stained hatred and grudge she carried.

The people here were completely cut off from the outside world, unable to peer into anything thats happening outside of the village. They could hardly even receive any information from there.

Having said that, if they werent worried about Gu Xianer, it was more than likely that none of them would be curious about the outside world in the first place.

Xianer shoulders our collective inheritance. Is there anyone from the outside capable of harming her? Not to mention, she also has the protection of the Peach Tree, so lets not blindly worry.

An old man with a broken arm spoke up next. He smiled with a single-toothed grin, seemingly very confident about the Peach Villages heir.

Im not worried about this. Im afraid that Xianers worries from before might end up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, and that she might end up bringing home some random sweetheart.

This time, the Peach Villages Village Chief butted in.

He looked well enough like a normal person, neither deaf nor mute, nor lacking any limbs.

But those in the know knew that he actually lacked a soul.

The man was simply just a flesh body without any spirit.

His words made the old folks faces turn ugly. This was because the Village Chiefs words were almost strangely prophetic, always being correct nine times out of ten, and that his prophecies were always difficult to swallow or had bad connotations, making people call him a crows mouth*.

[*: In Chinese, if someone has a (crows mouth) it means when they open their mouth, what they say will come true (usually unlucky events)]

Since the matter involved Gu Xianer, this made them feel all the more choked. Like the cabbage they had been growing for a long time were to have suddenly been eaten by a pig.

Someones coming!

At this moment, the expressions of the several old folks abruptly changed, as they felt the branches and leaves of the Peach Tree shaking rapidly.

They all looked towards the mountains in the distance, where what looked like a rainbow was now crossing the sky and travelling quickly to their location.

[At the entrance to the Peach Village]

Eldest Master, Second Master, Third Master, Fourth Master

A group of three stood in front of the old people from earlier. It was exactly Gu Changge, Yaoyao, and Gu Xianer, who had flown all the way to the infamous Land of Abandoned Immortals.

Gu Xianer had taken the initiative to mention this place before Gu Changge even asked for it.

And although the Abandoned Land was full of dangers, it was not a problem for the three of them to pass through here without a care, taking into account their cultivation bases.

[Notes: Like how the author uses Black Dao Bottle for Great Dao Treasured Bottle when just mentioning it casually, he is using Abandoned Land for Land of Abandoned Immortals.]

Not to mention the fact that the big red bird besides Gu Xianer knew the path well, and was an expert navigator, making sure there were no surprising twists and turns in their entire journey.

At this moment, Gu Xianers brows and eyes were curved into crescent moons, as she happily began greeting her masters one by one.

A group of villagers from Peach Village had also appeared, a strange collection of men, women, and children alike, surrounding the entrance of the village, livening up the scene.

They were all very happy about Gu Xianers return.

Several aunties even pulled Gu Xianer aside to gossip and ask questions, hugging her profusely, and teasing about the relationship between her and the young man she had brought along.

Gu Changge, on the other hand, was just standing quietly at the entrance of the village.

A strange colour flashed in his eyes while he watched the towering Peach Tree.

In his opinion, this Peach Tree in front of him and the Peach Tree that the system had prompted him about did not actually look much different at all.

Its just that the destructive energy had been toned down, and that it felt more tranquil and natural.

As he observed the Peach Tree, the Peach Tree also observed him.

Although, to be honest, it was probably looking at the Yaoyao standing beside him.

The branches and leaves shimmering with countless shades of colour, as an infinite brilliance shone through the murky sky, circulating in an endless, mysterious rotation.

Having said that, Gu Changge also felt that its state of being was not quite right. Although it seemed as if it could sense the origin of connection between Yaoyao and itself, the Peach Tree did not seem like it remembered or even knew her.

Perhaps, in that chaotic Heavenly Thunder Tribulation that destroyed Heaven and Earth, it had really suffered a catastrophe, and lost a majority of its memories.

Moreover, Yaoyao herself seemed to have noticed their strange connection as well.

Master

She was a little scared of this situation, and so she hid behind Gu Changge like a little puppy.

Your Master is here, dont worry.

Gu Changge comforted her a bit. He believed in his own judgement that this mysterious Peach Tree wouldnt do anything detrimental to Yaoyao, who shared a connection with it.

In fact, when Yaoyao inevitably encountered this Peach Tree, it might be able to actually improve her situation instead. After all, the little girl had always been troubled by the fact that she couldnt cultivate.

Xianer, who is this man?

After reminiscing with her several masters, Gu Xianer was just about to introduce Gu Changge, but was suddenly cut off by the Village Chiefs question.

With scrutiny in his eyes, he looked Gu Changge up and down like a criminal inspector.

Dont forget what us masters have told you. When traveling outside, you must always be careful. These good-looking men like to lie to nave girls like you the best.

Another old woman with a hunched waist spoke up, glaring intensely at Gu Changge. This disciple of theirs was really a handful. Going out for so long, just to return without notice, even bringing along a strange man back to the village?

It was good enough that they didnt directly investigate the origin of this young man.

After all, it was still Gu Xianer who brought him to the village, so itd be rude for them to do so.

The rest of Gu Xianers master also had uncomfortable expressions. They looked at Gu Changge with cautious eyes, as if guarding against a thief, not looking away from him.

Did they fear that he would abduct Gu Xianer or something?

Gu Changge chuckled.

The old folks chittered in whispers.

The Village Chief was just saying something about being worried that Gu Xianer would bring back home a sweetheart, and see what had happened now?

This crows mouth, can he not say anything good?

It was not that they didnt want to see Gu Xianer ever getting together with a boy, but that they, as her masters, must carefully observe the boy so as to prevent their disciple from being deceived.

Is Xianer finally planning to bring home a husband?

At that moment, an old lady spoke out with a smile, feeling that the man in white clothes in front of her was a perfect match for their Xianer. A chiselled, handsome face, like the finest of divine jades; coupled with the aura of a young immortal, god-like and unparalleled in confidence.

It was simply a match made in Heaven!

[Kshn: I did not approve of this. Dont drag me into it.]

Hearing this, the Gu Xianer who was about to introduce Gu Changge sputtered out of shock.

Her face reddened like a ripe tomato, and she flapped her arms like an angry bird, Master! Whatre you saying, things are notwere not what youre thinking!

She didnt know why her masters and aunts would randomly guess in such a wild direction.

C-could it be that I really look like a good match for Gu Changge?

However, we are just cousins! Nothing more!

Gu Changge, tired of watching this farce unfold, spoke in an indifferent expression, My surname is Gu, seniors, please dont think too much.

Surnamed Gu?

Hearing this, the village chief and the others were stunned for a moment, as their hard expressions softened into a calmer one. Since he is surnamed Gu, it meant that this young fellow was from the Immortal Gu Family behind Xianer.

They seemed to have been overthinking

Yes. This one is surnamed Gu, named Changge, I pay my greetings to all the seniors.

Gu Changge nodded and answered plainly again, his expression not changing a bit.

Oh, so its Gu Changge, us old folks accept your greewait what!?

Gu Changge?!?!

Youre the one the Gu Changge who dug out the Dao Bones of Xianer when she was a child?

Hearing this, everyone at the entrance of Peach Village was stunned for a moment.

Then their expressions changed, thinking they had surely heard it wrong.

Utterly shocked and in disbelief.

How dare he come here?!

Especially the Village Chief and other masters, their complexion turned gloomy in an instant.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure emerged, so monstrous that terrifying visions started appearing in the sky of Abandoned Land. The stars collapsed, turning into dust and powder, shocking millions of miles around!

And this was even with the intentional suppression of their energies.

Such powerhouses had already reached an unfathomable level of cultivation, capable of destroying everything in the world!
