"We can keep some of the bear paws and the meat of the Rock-splitting Demon Tiger. Let the Tribe of Tiger Hunters and the Wild Bear Tribe taste it tomorrow. Yi Su, what do you think?" An old man smiled and asked Su Yi.
Su Yi turned his eyes and smiled knowingly. He nodded to the old man and said, "I'll listen to you, Elder."
"Fine, we'll leave some behind. The rest will be used to nourish the bodies of the younger generation. The village will make an exception and bring out some Hundred Fruit Wine to celebrate Yi Su's survival." The elder spoke. He was an elder of the village and had an extremely high status among the elders.
"Great, we can drink hundred-fruit wine."
"We can also eat tiger meat. That's great."
The group of young people was very excited. They could drink white-fruit wine again.
Su Yi bid farewell to everyone and returned to the courtyard.
The village chief, Grandmother Shangguan Chengya, was not in the courtyard.
Su Yi entered the room and was about to adjust his breathing for a while when a voice came from outside the door. Someone was coming.
Su Yi walked out of the courtyard and saw several aunties.
"Child, these clothes are clean. Take them and change. Look at you, go take a bath." The aunties brought some clothes to Su Yi.
"Thank you, Aunty."
Su Yi was very grateful. These clothes were not gorgeous, but they were very simple and unadorned. Warmth flowed in his heart.
After sending the aunties away, Su Yi stood in the courtyard in a daze. He thought of a vague figure in his mind from the aunties. He did not know where his mother was now and whether she was safe.
"One who survives a great disaster is bound to have good fortune. It's good that you're back."
A faint voice came into Su Yi's ears.
Su Yi turned around and a kind face appeared in front of him. There were no wrinkles on the face and his complexion was rosy. He was slightly hunchbacked and his hair was black with a mix of silver. It was the village chief.
"Grandmother Shangguan." Su Yi bowed.
"You look like you're in a daze. Are you missing home or your family?"
Shangguan Chengya said with a smile. On her kind face, her calm eyes seemed to be able to see through Su Yi.
"Yes." Su Yi nodded slightly and smiled embarrassedly.
"After tomorrow's battle, I hope that Spirit Ancient Village can win. At that time, I will be able to fulfill my promise to you and return home early."
Shangguan Cheng Ya smiled and said, "Of course, in the future, Spirit Ancient Village will also be your second home. You can come back whenever you want."
"Thank you, Granny Shangguan." Su Yi nodded.
"You're welcome. If you really want to thank Grandma, then chat with me. All these years, only that girl Xiwei has spoken to me. That girl and I depend on each other. I only have one granddaughter. Now that I have a grandson out of nowhere, I'm very happy."
Shangguan Cheng Ya said.
"Then I'll talk to Granny Shangguan for a while." Su Yi nodded.
Mountain streams, exotic flowers, rare herbs, and lush trees.
In the ancient wooden pavilion, Su Yi sat with Shangguan Cheng Ya and looked at the mountain stream in the distance thoughtfully.
"Did that girl, Xiwei, tell you about her parents?"
Shangguan Cheng Ya asked. Her voice was faint and her eyes were a little hazy. If it wasn't for the invisible pressure that she gave off, she would be like an ordinary old lady.
"I've heard a little about it."
Su Yi said. He knew some things from Shangguan Xiwei. His mother had passed away and his father had left Spirit Ancient Village. He and his grandmother had depended on each other since young.
"As for the outside world, I've never gone out in my life. I don't know what it's like. When I was young, I wanted to go out and explore, but I couldn't do it." Shangguan Cheng Ya said. There was some light in her eyes and her expression changed a little. She seemed to be thinking about the time when she was young.
Su Yi didn't say anything. The village chief probably felt that he didn't blame his son for all these years.
After a while, Shangguan Cheng Ya looked at Su Yi and asked, "Okay, let's talk about you. How many people do you have in your family?"
"I have a grandfather at home. My parents left after I was born and their whereabouts are unknown. My grandfather and I depend on each other."
Su Yi thought of his grandfather. He had been out for so long and hoped that his grandfather's body could still hold on for a while. He had to become an expert as soon as possible and then go back to treat his grandfather's injuries.
"He's also a poor child, just like Xiwei."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Chengya was a little surprised. Her kind face was moved. She held Su Yi's hand and said softly.
"Grandpa is very good to me." Su Yi smiled, the corners of his mouth lifted.
The old and the young sat and chatted for a long time.
Su Yi and Shangguan Cheng Ya talked about a lot of interesting things about the outside world. The old lady listened carefully, as if she had regained her youth. Her face was full of curiosity and she couldn't help but smile.
"Today is the happiest day for me in more than ten years. Thank you, child."
At last, Shangguan Cheng Ya said to Su Yi. Her kind face was full of smiles. She hadn't been happy for a long time.
"If Grandma Shangguan likes it, I'll have a good talk with you another day," Su Yi said to Shangguan Cheng Ya.
"Okay."
Shangguan Chengya nodded and stood up with her slightly hunched body. Strands of silver hair could be seen clearly among her black hair. Her dark brown eyes seemed to be telling of the vicissitudes of life. She stared at Su Yi for a while and seemed to have something to say.
"Grandma Shangguan, what's the matter?" Su Yi asked.
"When you go back, if one day you meet a person called Shangguan Tianchen …"
Shangguan Chengya sighed slightly and said, "Forget it. It's all in the past. It's just that Xiwei has suffered a lot …"
"Shangguan Tianchen? Is he Sister Xiwei's father?" Su Yi asked.
"Okay, go back and rest. Tomorrow is the competition between Spirit Ancient Village, Wild Bear Tribe, and Tribe of Tiger Hunters. You should go and watch. The Savage Heavenly Leopard has improved a lot. If it can win again tomorrow, then Spirit Ancient Village will win this time," Shangguan Cheng Ya said and then asked Su Yi to go and rest.
Su Yi left and didn't ask any more questions. He remembered Shangguan Tianchen's name in his heart.
Back in his room, Su Yi found some water to take a bath. He changed into a clean robe given by the village auntie. After putting the knife on his back again, he closed his eyes and started to adjust his breath.
After a few hours, Su Yi opened his eyes and withdrew his hand seal. His body was full of Yuan Qi and mental strength. He felt refreshed.
"I wonder what level I've reached as a Soul Controller."
Su Yi felt that his soul power had been increasing during this period of time. Especially the last time, his soul power had improved a lot. However, he didn't know much about Soul Controllers. He didn't know what level he had reached as a Soul Controller.
"Brother Yi Su, everyone is waiting for you."
Shangguan Rock's voice came from outside. Tonight, the village was going to celebrate, and Su Yi was the star.
When Su Yi walked out of the courtyard, it was already dusk.
"There's meat and fruit wine."
