Chapter 751 Fellow Villagers Meet Again_2

The two seemed not to have expected that their little dream would receive You Su’s approval, and they were somewhat flattered. After all, when most cultivators talk about their ambitions, whether sincerely or not, they tend to say it’s for immortality, as this is the ambition most befitting the path of the immortal.

"Unfortunately, I don’t know where to find the aurora either, but if you keep walking in that direction for forty miles, you’ll reach Beiji City. Perhaps there might be someone there who can help you find the aurora." You Su pointed in the direction he had come from.

"We can really reach Beiji City?! I thought we were lost!" The man was exceptionally excited, and the woman also raised the corners of her mouth, sharing in the joy.

At this point in a normal conversation, it would end, but You Su clearly wasn’t going to let them go so easily.

"My name is Ding Zhen, what’s yours?"

"My name is Qu Ye, my beloved wife’s surname is Wang."

The man named Qu Ye felt quite good about You Su, a person from the North, and revealed his name without hesitation. However, he was still cautious not to disclose his fiancée’s full name. After all, unlike the straightforwardness of Beiao Continent, in Zhongyuan, a woman’s name is not something to be asked lightly.

You Su had precisely grasped this point, and spoke with a bit of a ’rude’ tone on purpose, which made his act even more believable.

After exchanging names, their relationship became a bit more familiar, and the man felt comfortable asking more questions:

"Is this village... is it just you here alone?"

"I’m not from this village. I’m simply passing through and thought to rest since the place is deserted."

Qu Ye appeared to understand, thinking this senior was quite honest, not lying to him about being an original resident of this desolate village.

Just then, a stronger gust of cold wind hit, and the woman couldn’t help but shiver a few times.

Seeing this, You Su warmly invited, "You are friends from afar in the south, outside is freezing, I’ve started a fire, why don’t you come inside and sit."

Qu Ye and the woman exchanged glances again, and the woman gently nodded. Qu Ye quickly said, "Thank you, sir."

"Don’t call me sir, just call me Ding Zhen. The clan leader taught me that only knowledgeable people deserve to be called sir, and I have no such knowledge." You Su spoke straightforwardly and genuinely, displaying a natural simplicity.

Upon hearing this, Miss Wang apologized, saying something akin to ’when three walk together, there must be something I can learn from.’

The two entered the house, behaving politely and not wandering around aimlessly. Bai Ze remained relaxed in the bathtub, happy that he did not have to reveal himself. You Su then shoveled some charcoal from the firewood under the tub into a brazier and brought it over. The couple thanked him repeatedly and even helped clean a small chair for him.

To travel from Zhongyuan Continent all the way to such a distant place requires not only significant mobility but also financial support. This couple clearly came from a fairly prosperous family, which enabled them to pursue their dreams. And their well-to-do background gave them good manners, making them not at all bothersome.

The crackling sound of the burning coal brought rare warmth, gradually easing the wariness of the travelers who came from so far away.

With You Su’s deliberately naive interaction, Qu Ye and Miss Wang occasionally found themselves helplessly laughing at his excessive simplicity, but this only made them like this young man even more, sincere despite his profound cultivation, leading to more open communication.

You Su introduced himself as someone from a remote tribe in the Arctic Snowfield, hoping to make a name for himself by venturing out from the snowfield into the city. The two knew that across Beiao Continent, there were many secluded small tribes, mostly isolated, but each with unique cultivation methods. This also explained why You Su was so unworldly yet possessed a talent comparable to prodigies.

During their conversation, it was revealed that Qu Ye was actually a disciple of the Xi Yi Mansion on Henggao Divine Mountain, and Miss Wang was from Henggao City.

You Su quietly pulled his collar higher and was even more determined to learn something from the two.

"Coming from the Divine Mountain, that’s impressive," You Su praised.

"No, no, compared to you, Ding, I am far behind. I’m just relying on my parents’ legacy." Qu Ye humbly replied, encouragingly adding, "Your talent is top-notch, even among those on the Divine Mountain. I’m sure you’ll achieve great things on this journey."

You Su shook his head as though a bit discouraged, "I’m not that great. The clan leader said the world is about to descend into chaos and sent me away, telling me to make a name for myself at Kongyuan Divine Mountain. But the farthest I’ve been before is Beiji City, and I have no idea how to get to Kongyuan Divine Mountain, let alone where those three Evil Gods are."

Hearing this, Qu Ye, who had completely trusted You Su, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He didn’t expect that the clan leader of such a hidden small tribe could foresee the coming chaos in the world and was willing to let a genius like Ding Zhen step out into the world.

This scenario was just like those great figures in history who rose from obscurity to become renowned. Those with simple hearts are more likely to ascend to the path of immortality. Countless stories have such protagonists who are not foolish... no! They are pure at heart!

Inspired, Qu Ye suddenly felt a rush of boldness and immediately took out a sheepskin scroll and said:

"For granting us warmth and rest, Ding, please accept this as a token of gratitude!"

He spread out the sheepskin scroll, revealing a map showing the official roads between the various towns in Beiao Continent.

Though not interested in the path of cultivation, forming connections with future immortals would certainly be a marvelous thing. Perhaps his name would be noted in the history books someday — the first guide that the future immortal Ding encountered was Qu Ye!

Thinking of this, he had no hesitation in handing over the valuable sheepskin scroll.

Miss Wang was a bit taken aback but also guessed her fiancé’s thoughts. She pressed her red lips, feeling a bit unwilling, but did not voice any objection.

"Is this a map? But if you give it to me, what will you use?"

"No worries, we’ve come prepared. My fiancée has another one, though less detailed than this, but we’ve traversed once, so it will suffice." Qu Ye motioned, and Miss Wang took out another sheepskin roll to prove his words.

You Su did not stand on ceremony, accepting it cheerfully, but in return, he took out a small box of Xue Zhi Pine resin from the Qiankun Bag.

Upon seeing this, Miss Wang, who felt a bit distressed initially, was instantly overjoyed, for what woman doesn’t love beauty?

"Now that we have solved the route issue, all that’s left is to find those three Evil Gods! I must let them taste the fist of our Xuesang Tribe!" Holding the sheepskin scroll, You Su spoke with fervor.

Qu Ye didn’t know whether to be amazed or amused and quickly advised You Su not to rush things, yet he didn’t want to discourage such lofty ambitions. After all, dispelling the three great Evil Gods was a far greater goal than his dream of traveling the Five Continents.

Most people who love travel also love to share their experiences, and among the best rewards besides beautiful scenery are the stories they gather.

Qu Ye was no different; though it was cold outside, the deserted house was warm, fueling his desire to share tales with You Su.

You Su was happy to play along, showing great interest in everything Qu Ye talked about. Qu Ye felt almost like he was teaching a future great immortal and became more enthusiastic, answering You Su’s every question.

When hearing about the First Elder holding off the Master of Flesh and Blood alone, You Su felt a surge of compassion and cursed the doubters.

When Qu Ye harshly described himself with a notorious reputation, You Su also joined in empathetic condemnation.

When he learned that people were gathering outside Profound Sky Sect to provoke Lotus Peak, and the sect leader chose to cut ties, the chair beneath him suddenly broke.

Qu Ye and his beloved exchanged glances, assuming that the wooden chair had simply deteriorated over time.

But what allowed You Su to breathe a sigh of relief was that Lotus Peak was already empty.

You Su’s thoughts spun quickly; this definitely meant someone had moved the master and senior sister away ahead of time.

Could it have been the Third Elder? Or was it the Profound Sky Sect Leader, who he hadn’t met and tried to cut ties?

You Su couldn’t guess the answer, but the fact they could leave indicated that someone was helping them secretly.

Only upon confirming the safety of the master and senior sister did You Su finally feel at ease.
