Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

It was Fan Luokui who finally broke the silence.

"Senior Sister Zhang, there's no point in standing here any longer."

“I know…” Zhang Ruoxue took a deep breath, bit her lower lip tightly, and stared at the wooden house in front of her with a heavy expression, “but I can’t leave here.”

"I see."

Fan Luokui did not ask Zhang Ruoxue to leave with her immediately. Although she had not known Zhang Ruoxue for long, she understood that Senior Sister Zhang was definitely not the kind of person who would abandon her family at this moment.

She, who denied severing her desires, would definitely try her best to investigate the strange situation in Jingyuan Village.

The two had no way out.

"Let's go."

Fan Luokui raised her sword sheath and, with steady yet cautious steps, took the lead towards the swaying wooden door.

Zhang Ruoxue was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her junior sister to be so decisive. Without hesitation, she quickly followed.

The two entered the wooden house one after the other.

The dust was a bit choking, but the area around the wooden house was relatively tidy. The furniture wasn't overturned, and there were no spider webs in the corners.

Although the cabin is small, it has everything you need, including many of the most basic household tools.

Zhang Ruoxue glanced around nostalgically. At least it was still home, and it was fortunate that no particularly brutal or bloody scenes had occurred.

She even felt a subtle sense of security.

Upon seeing the two enter, the woman sitting at the corner of the wooden table immediately stood up and smiled warmly.

"Oh, you two are here. Come, come, sit down. I just made some side dishes. They're just ordinary dishes, but they should be palatable."

Zhang Ruoxue and Fan Luokui couldn't help but look at the dining table, where steaming hot dishes were laid out, many of which were Zhang Ruoxue's favorites.

Judging from the temperature of the food, it was made not long ago.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Ruoxue's gaze, the man, who had tidied himself up and become more presentable, immediately smiled.

"Oh, Xue'er, you've come back at just the right time! We were planning to have a nice meal today, and we just happened to make your favorite dishes. It seems like fate has its own plan!"

"Um……"

Zhang Ruoxue nodded blankly, and then noticed a young man dressed in plain clothes, with a slightly pale face and a thin build.

That was her younger brother, named Zhang Xiaohan.

"Minor Cold".

Zhang Xiaohan seemed to have just woken up. Her eyes were still blurry with sleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked somewhat dazedly toward the source of the sound.

He was stunned when he saw it.

"Sister? Sister, you're back!"

In an instant, Zhang Xiaohan was wide awake and rushed to Zhang Ruoxue, his face filled with surprise.

"It's been so long, and you're still so beautiful... It's amazing how wonderful it is to be a goddess..."

Zhang Ruoxue hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and patted Zhang Xiaohan's head.

Seeing that nothing had happened, he lowered his guard a little.

She gave a kind smile, a smile that Ye Yuchan had never seen before. "Sister is just an ordinary cultivator. Besides, Xiao Han, you've grown up and are even taller than sister now."

"Hehehe, that's for sure! I've said before that I'll definitely be taller than my sister when I grow up."

He put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

However, he quickly scratched his head with a somewhat naive expression and chuckled, "But I'm not as strong as my sister now. It seems I can't do what I said before about protecting her when I grow up."

Zhang Ruoxue's father, Zhang Zhen, also laughed out loud, "Now it's your sister protecting our family, hahaha."

The woman smiled slightly, "Yes, Xue'er is like a fairy now, she's amazing."

The atmosphere inside the venue was undeniably harmonious.

The people here are simple and honest, and the villagers are warm and hospitable. It's hard to imagine what kind of tremendous changes have happened in such a small village.

As Fan Luokui pondered the ins and outs of the incident, Zhang Xiaohan's face suddenly loomed large in front of her.

Fan Luokui was so frightened that she almost drew her sword.

However, before that, Zhang Xiaohan's honest and simple face quickly receded, with a slight blush still on his cheeks.

He looked at his older sister somewhat timidly, "Sis, who is this beautiful older sister...?"

"Oh, he's my fellow disciple."

"Oh! She's a fairy too..." Zhang Xiaohan's eyes dimmed immediately. "Yes, such a beautiful sister must be a fairy sister."

Fan Luokui: "..."

He looked at the boy, frowned, thought for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

Zhang Ruoxue glanced at Fan Luokui with a strange look, then smiled and sat down as usual.

He looked at Zhang Xiaohan in front of him, a wry smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao Han, you still don't like taking baths, just like before. Girls won't like that."

"I……"

Zhang Xiaohan's face flushed instantly. She stole a glance at Fan Luokui and shyly lowered her head.

Anyone could tell what this honest-looking boy was thinking just by looking at him.

but--

"Sis, how did you know I haven't been showering much lately... Can even a god tell that?"

“You’ve had this habit since you were little, and… there’s a little bug next to your ear.”

Upon hearing the name "Chongzi Erzi," Zhang Xiaohan jumped up in fright, and the small black flying insect quickly fled.

The family burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became exceptionally harmonious.

The woman smiled and glanced at Fan Luo Kui, "My dear fairy, I still have a seat available. Why don't you come and have a taste?"

Fan Luokui glanced at the food on the table and shook her head. "I'm not hungry, so there's no need."

Actually, she was just worried that some strange things might be added to the food.

She also gave Zhang Ruoxue a meaningful look, and the latter nodded in understanding.

She placed her chopsticks horizontally in front of her on the table, and her expression suddenly darkened.

This action caught the attention of the two elders and Zhang Xiaohan, who all became somewhat nervous.

"Xue'er, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

"Sis, did Xiaohan do something wrong?"

"Xue'er, is there something your mother did wrong?"

The three of them simultaneously threw their questions at us.

Looking at her three very familiar family members, Zhang Ruoxue gasped.

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice.

"Actually, I came back this time because there's something I want to ask you."

"Ask us?"

The three of them exchanged glances, all somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Ruoxue didn't know if they were faking it or not, but she still tried to find out more by asking them indirectly.

"Father, Mother, and Xiaohan, have you seen any strange people recently, no... in the last two years?"

Zhang Zhen frowned, thinking carefully. "Two years? I don't think so. I remember you came back once two years ago, Xue'er."

Zhang Xiaohan pouted and said in a deep voice, "There aren't any strange people, but I remember that a deity came here a while ago."

"Oh! That's right!" The woman suddenly remembered. "Speaking of which, there was such a thing. At that time, the whole village went to welcome that deity. That deity was really powerful... He solved the village's water problem in an instant."

"immortal?"

Zhang Ruoxue seemed to have grasped something crucial. She turned around and exchanged a glance with Fan Luokui, both seeing affirmation in each other's eyes.

The changes in Jingyuan Village are probably inextricably linked to that cultivator.

"Has that deity done anything strange?"

“Strange things? No, that deity has been performing rituals for our village and hasn’t asked us for any money. Instead, he found a cave and stayed there for several days.”

Zhang Xiaohan's words left Zhang Ruoxue somewhat confused.

Did they stay in the cave for several days?

What does it mean?

Fan Luokui stepped forward, her eyebrows furrowed, her voice icy.

Where is that cave?

Perhaps startled by Fan Luokui's sudden cold words, Zhang Xiaohan took a step back timidly, speechless for a moment.

It was at this moment that Zhang Zhen, as the father, stepped forward despite the biting cold wind.

Qianxun Novel Free Transfer Group 255595300 "This fairy sister... that cave is just north of our village, but I don't know why you're looking for that cave..."

"Some internal affairs of the sect," Zhang Ruoxue continued. She couldn't reveal her true thoughts, so she simply told a lie.

Upon hearing the word "sect," Zhang Zhen nodded and said nothing more.

Having obtained the clue, Zhang Ruoxue lost her appetite and stood up, looking apologetically at her three family members.

"I'm sorry, Father, Mother, Xiaohan, I have to go to that cave now. I will explain everything to you after I have resolved this matter."

"Xue'er..." Zhang Zhen murmured his daughter's name softly, his voice filled with reluctance.

On the contrary, it was his wife, the woman, who stepped forward with a peaceful expression.

"Since this is a matter concerning the sect, it cannot be delayed because of us. Xue'er, you should go quickly and return as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Mother..." Zhang Ruoxue couldn't help but feel touched.
