"No one in the village thought that I was the only one in the village who had the qualifications and age."

"The resources in the mountains are scarce, and the villagers are eager for me to leave quickly so that they can save some food."

“Only a few elderly people held my hand reluctantly before leaving and told me about things to do on the road.”

She lowered her eyes again: "Actually, they should know this too."

"The Saint Child Trial is a one in ten chance of survival. I am just trying to get a spot among the bones at the bottom of the valley."

"Thinking about it now, I actually thought at that time that I was representing the hope of the village."

She smiled self-deprecatingly.

Still trying so hard to survive in the Valley of Hell.

I want to go back and visit the village.

“I don’t even know what I was expecting.”

Seeing her hugging her knees and sitting beside the abandoned well, Chen Yin walked over and sat beside her.

“If there are no happy memories here for you, then why come here?”

"I don't know either." Nan Xiaoxiang lowered her head silently, "But I always feel that I have to come back."

"Maybe it's just to give myself an explanation."

Chen Yin nodded.

"Mr. Chen, can I ask you a question?"

"what?"

"Tell me, in the eyes of you monks," she hugged her knees and lowered her head in a somewhat lonely manner, "what kind of existence are we mortals?"

"Is it an ant? A fragile creature? Or something else?"

Chen Yin thought for a moment and said, "I really like what you said before."

... I call you immortals just to show my respect. You don't really think of yourselves as immortals, do you?

"I think what you said is very right. Monks are also human beings, with emotions and desires. They are no different from ordinary people."

Nan Xiaoxiang looked at him in surprise: "You still remember it."

“Because I was really impressed.”

Chen Yin smiled and said, "You are the only mortal I have ever seen who dares to say this in front of a monk."

Nan Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, then stared at the flying birds in the distance in a trance.

"But."

"The life span of a monk is several times longer than that of a mortal."

"If Master Chen looks at me again decades later, I will already be gray-haired, hunchbacked, and haggard."

"Will it be like today when we watch this village become desolate and dilapidated, with only sighs but no attachment?"

Chen Yin looked at her quietly.

Nan Xiaoxiang's beautiful eyes were clear as she stared at Chen Yin intently, as if she was expecting his answer.

Chen Yin was silent for a long time before he said softly:

"I haven't thought about it that much."

"In my previous life, I didn't have time to think about what would happen a hundred years later."

"There are so many things to do right now. So many people are reluctant to give up. If you miss any of them, a hundred years or not will be meaningless."

"I don't know what it will be like after a few decades when you and I are both old."

"But I guess if you want to come back here and take a look at it then."

"I should still come with you." He answered seriously.

Nan Xiaoxiang looked into his dark eyes quietly, and finally suddenly smiled.

"Then I would like to thank you in advance, Mr. Chen."

She stood up and took one last look at the village.

...It's like saying goodbye to my past once and for all.

After turning her head, she smiled faintly at Chen Yin:

"Let's go back quickly. Otherwise we won't be able to get back before dark."

Chen Yin glanced at her tentatively.

Nan Xiaoxiang also stood behind him as if in acquiescence, and whispered in his ear:

"…Hold me and fly back, it will be faster."

Two Hundred and Twenty-One, Three Thousand Great Ways

The next day. Wuxuan Cave Hall.

In the main hall, the chief witch was still instructing Lian'er on every detail.

But Lian'er always had a wronged look on her face, with wet eyes.

"Great Witch, can't Lian'er come with us?"

"Of course not!"

The chief witch said angrily and helplessly: "You are the only one in charge of Wuxuan Cave now. What will happen if you don't stay here?"

"Besides, it's not a big deal. Just go and treat one person. You'll be back in two or three days at most."

Lian'er was still a little reluctant, and she pouted and tugged at the corner of Chen Yin's clothes.

"Big brother... please take me with you. Lian'er still has a lot of food to eat, and Lian'er doesn't want to let big brother go."

Chen Yin had no choice but to soothe her and rub her hair like he was coaxing a child: "Be good, Lian'er."

"When I have time in the future, I can come and play with you often."

"When the time comes, I will definitely bring you more delicious food that you have never seen before, until you can't eat anymore, okay?"

Lian'er's eyes slowly lit up.

Finally, after Luoluo tried to comfort her for a long time, Lian'er reluctantly let go of the hand that was holding on to the corner of Chen Yin's clothes.

After walking out of the door of the Wuxuan Cave Hall, the chief witch finally stretched.

"Ah...Finally got rid of that damn girl."

"If you really don't like her that much," Chen Yin said casually, "why not just change a maid?"

The great witch curled her lips and said, "It won't work if I can't find a suitable one."

"I've been using it for so long anyway, so I might as well just keep using it. I've gotten used to this stupid girl."

Chen Yin smiled silently.

...This great witch is not a very honest person.

But now, everything has been settled, and the Huanzou Ganoderma has been obtained.

Finally, it’s time to go back to Yushan.

-

The fog on Yushan Mountain lingers all year round.

Returning to the mountain and heading straight to the master's cave, Chen Yin happily opened the door and shouted enthusiastically:

"Xiang'er, Master, I'm back——"

In the main hall of the cave, Master, who was happily sitting on a seesaw with Ye Lingling, suddenly froze.

For a moment, the entire cave was eerily quiet.

Chen Yin: “…”

Master: “…Ahem.”

She gently turned over, her petite body rolled down from the seesaw, and coughed twice in a pretentious manner, then said seriously:

"Look at this naughty kid you asked me to take care of! Not only does she pester me every day, but she also insists that I find something fun for her."

"Do you know how much effort I put into finding something to play with her? I finally got you back."

Ye Lingling on the side fiddled with her fingers a little aggrievedly: "But...it was you who clearly asked me to play with you——"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

The master suddenly started coughing violently, covering up Ye Lingling's voice, and turned around and pretended nothing had happened:

"You've come a long way, you must have worked hard. You two can catch up first. I'll go call Ye Lie and the others."

After saying that, she spread out her short legs and ran away.

The chief witch turned her head and looked at Chen Yin.

Chen Yin was silent for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence:

“…I didn’t lie to you.”

"She really is the Immortal Yu Ling."

You may not believe it.

Yu Ling, the invincible immortal in the world of immortal cultivation, is indeed a little girl who likes to sit on the seesaw and laugh from ear to ear.

The chief witch didn't say much, but her expression was a little strange.

While the master was calling for help, the chief witch came to Ye Lingling's side and reached out to check on Ye Lingling's condition.

At first, Ye Lingling instinctively shrank back, her eyes filled with fear and shock, her delicate body trembling slightly.

But Nan Xiaoxiang immediately came over and soothed him softly:

"Don't be afraid. This beautiful sister is here to treat you."

The chief witch couldn't help but look up and steal a glance at Nan Xiaoxiang without saying anything.

Ye Lingling's eyes moved back and forth between the few people in fear. When she saw Chen Yin, Luoluo, Qingying and Nan Xiaoxiang all looking at her encouragingly, she slowly mustered up her courage and reached out her hand to the great witch Biluo.

Biluo gently held her wrist, her eyes half closed, and after a moment she frowned slightly.

"...The poison has entered the brain, which is indeed extremely troublesome."

At this time, Nan Xiaoxiang on the side also slowly spoke:

"She has gradually recovered, but the poison has entered her brain, so it's hard to cure. If the remaining poison is not eliminated, no matter how much she recuperates, it will only scratch the surface and not cure the root cause."

"Heh, isn't it because your medical skills are not good enough?" Biluo retorted to her casually.

Unexpectedly, Nan Xiaoxiang was not annoyed, nor did she refute. Instead, she lowered her eyebrows and said:

"you're right."

"My medical skills really can't cure this disease."

Biluo seemed a little surprised at Nan Xiaoxiang's obedience. Seeing that she admitted it directly, she felt it difficult to continue to speak ill of her.

But she was stubborn and refused to give in, so she continued to hum softly:

"If you are not good at medicine, just watch and learn."

"Give us a private room for a while."

"...Come in and help me." After saying that, Biluo gently looked away.

Nan Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment.

Chen Yin watched the interaction between the two people with great interest.

This witch was a person who would not give in with her words. Apart from refusing to admit defeat, she had actually long wanted to resolve her past grievances with Nan Xiaoxiang.

Chen Yin is now impatient to see what will happen when the two of them take a bath together.

Of course, it would be even better if I could watch it with my own eyes.
