A hundred miles away from Xuanyi City, Three Talents Town.
Three Talents Town got its name from the fact that three geniuses appeared here thousands of years ago. They were all famous geniuses in Xuanyi Country, and one of them even became the prime minister of Xuanyi Country. He was second only to one and above tens of thousands.
However, that was thousands of years ago. Now, in Three Talents Town, other than the ruins of Three Talents, there were no other signs of glory.
Three Talents Town was now famous for its vegetables! The green vegetables, cabbages, and lettuce that were grown here tasted delicious and looked fresh and tender. Therefore, many vegetable peddlers gathered here to sell their vegetables at a good price in Xuanyi City.
Therefore, the current Three Talents Town was called Three Vegetable Town.
That morning, the sun had just risen and shone on the main road of Three Talents Town.
There were countless carts filled with vegetables being pulled by horses and people towards the end of the road.
On the contrary, there was a young man in green walking along the golden road. He walked into the town from the end of the road, getting closer and closer.
The person who came was Ye Kong. This was already the sixth town that he had come to on his way here. There were all kinds of towns outside of Xuanyi City. There was a blacksmith town, a fishing net town, and today, he came to a vegetable town.
Walking into the town, Ye Kong frowned.
Although it was already past the time for vegetable trading, there were still many vegetable vendors who placed piles of vegetables by the roadside, waiting for buyers to ask for a price. Actually, there were big and small vegetable vendors. The big vendors would transport vegetables from here to Xuanyi City to earn big money. The small vendors would go to farmers' houses to buy vegetables, transport them here, and then sell them to the big vendors.
Why was Ye Kong frowning? Obviously, he felt that Skyfall could not be here. Based on their interactions in the past, Ye Kong felt that Skyfall was an arrogant person. He could tell just by looking at how he dressed.
He liked to wear a long robe, the kind that was very particular about it. His beard and nails were neatly trimmed, and he wore a tall hat. He looked very dignified and imposing.
Thinking about this kind of person, for him to wear farmer's clothes, dig in the soil, grow vegetables, and sell vegetables … it was not very possible.
Ye Kong could not help but stop in his tracks. But then, he continued to move forward. Since he was already here, he naturally had to look around before he could be at ease.
"Big Brother, may I know where the Guardian Mansion is?" Ye Kong stopped and asked an uncle who was buying vegetables by the roadside. He then threw a silver coin at him.
The vegetable seller was overjoyed to have gotten a piece of silver for free. He quickly pointed and said, "It's just in front. Go to the intersection opposite the red door and see the one with the stone lion at the door."
"Thank you." Ye Kong cupped his hands in salute and strode away.
As soon as he left, the uncle, who was watering the vegetables in front of him, turned his head and saw this scene. He immediately frowned and said to a vegetable seller at a vegetable stall beside him, "Xiao Tian, you're always the last to arrive at the town every day. Now that you see someone coming, you're purposely pointing your butt at him …" The uncle sighed in exasperation, "Sigh! How are you going to support your family like this? I even wanted to be your matchmaker and help you convince the Cai Family's girl. Sigh … "
The vegetable seller shook his head in disgust.
The one surnamed Tian was a middle-aged man. Although he was wearing farmer's clothes, it was spotless. There was not a single drop of water on him. He sat behind the vegetable stall with an ancient scroll in his hand. He didn't look like a vegetable farmer but more like a teacher.
He turned a deaf ear to the uncle's words and lowered his head with a frown. "Why is this brat here? I wonder if he went to comfort Tingshi."
This surnamed Tian was True Monarch Skyfall. At this moment, he had changed his name to Tian Duo and became a glorious vegetable seller. Every day, his job was to go to various villages to collect vegetables and transport them to the big vegetable seller in town.
Unfortunately, he came late every day. By the time he arrived, the big vegetable seller would have already left.
Someone asked, "Didn't Ye Kong guess that Skyfall wouldn't do this kind of thing?"
Indeed, Skyfall was an arrogant person and disdained to do such things. After he left the Corpse Yin Sect, he went to Xuanyi City and bought some property and became a rich man.
After a few days, he felt bored. Not only did he not have any understanding of life, but he also became more and more lazy and corrupted. This kind of life was not what he needed.
Thus, after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to do the opposite! He didn't want to be a farmer, so he would become a farmer and experience a life that he had never imagined. Thus, it wasn't that Ye Kong guessed wrong. He just didn't think that Skyfall would do the opposite.
As soon as the voice of the uncle next door faded away, the fat lady who was selling vegetables across the street laughed and said, "Little Tian, even though he came late and his vegetables are the worst on this street, doesn't he still sell them out every day?" As the fat lady spoke, she swayed her fat body and walked over. There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.
Skyfall didn't pay attention to the fat big sister. He had lived for hundreds of years, so how could he not understand that people of the same trade were enemies? It was said that he was a vegetable seller, so how could the farmers have any good vegetables for him? They were all soaked in water. At that time, they looked very fresh and tender, but when they were transported to town, they became yellow dog poop.
But the strange thing was that he didn't have to worry about selling them. The reason was that a few young ladies of the big families in town had taken a fancy to him.
Those young ladies of the big families had nothing to do, so when they passed by on the street in their palanquins, they accidentally lifted the curtain and saw this person. Skyfall had been in a high position for a long time, and he was clean and tidy. He sat behind the vegetable stall, holding an ancient book. That kind of calmness and that kind of aura wasn't something an ordinary person could learn.
When the young ladies saw him, they thought, Wow, what a handsome uncle. They didn't know if there were any uncle-cons back then, but in short, the young ladies had taken a fancy to him. This person wasn't bad. Although he was a little old, he had a demeanor, an aura, knowledge, and was also so hardworking. In the future, he would definitely not be an ordinary person. Thus, one by one, they called their servants over and instructed them to only buy this person's vegetables in the future. They wouldn't eat other people's vegetables.
The servants were also helpless. Looking at the pile of rotten vegetables, they could only accept it. However, a few young ladies had taken a fancy to this person, and they still came to buy him every day. Seeing this, the other vegetable sellers wanted to vomit blood. Were these young ladies blind?
Although the vegetable sellers were jealous of Skyfall, they didn't hate him too much. This was because he was good at accounting. When he couldn't calculate the amount, he would ask, "Little Tian, how much is it?" Skyfall was originally a peerless genius. This kind of calculation didn't even need to pinch his fingers. With a frown, the price was out. It was equivalent to a calculator.
Thus, with jealousy and admiration, the vegetable sellers tolerated Skyfall's stay.
After the peak season of selling vegetables, the fat lady and the vegetable sellers liked to tease Skyfall. Skyfall didn't say anything. Although he was arrogant, why would he bother with these mortals?
The fat lady walked over and sighed again. "Little Tian, although those young ladies are interesting, they are all from wealthy families … As a person, it's best not to bite off more than you can chew. Marriage is about matching families in terms of social status."
The uncle also sighed, "That's right. You have to deal with this kind of thing well. Provoking those young ladies isn't a good thing. Sometimes, it can cost your life! The poor scholar in our village hooked up with Moneybags Hu's daughter. In the end, Moneybags Hu sent a photo to the Lord Guard's residence. The poor scholar was arrested on the same day and died in prison! "
At this point, the fat lady also sighed, "That's right. It's better to be a person."
Affected by this oppressive atmosphere, the vegetable sellers didn't say anything.
After a while, another vegetable seller found a topic and laughed, "How can that poor scholar be compared to our Little Tian? In the future, if Little Tian becomes a scholar and becomes a high-ranking official, which rich man would dare to look down on him?"
"Pfft." The fat lady despised this person's words. She thought to herself, "Little Tian is already so old. If he was, he would have become a scholar a long time ago. Moreover, the palace examination isn't just about knowing how to do some arithmetic. It's about writing a beautiful essay! "
However, after the fat lady snorted, she suddenly felt uncertain. Not to mention, this Little Tian seemed to be very hardworking. He also looked like a decent person. Perhaps one day, he would really become someone superior.
Thus, the fat lady immediately put on a smiling face and frivolously patted Skyfall, "Little Tian, if you really become a high-ranking official in the future, don't forget about us old sisters."
What was the fickleness of human nature? This was the fickleness of human nature! Skyfall sighed in his heart. To become a mortal, one had to be in this kind of marketplace to understand the ways of the world and understand the heavens!
Seeing that the fat lady was about to continue patting him, Skyfall quickly dodged to the side and laughed awkwardly, "Why would I? If that day really comes, I … I, Tian, will definitely not forget everyone's kindness. "
The fat lady laughed exaggeratedly and laughed, "No wonder all those rich young ladies like you. Every sentence you say is so genteel."
Just as they were joking, they saw a young man in green walking backwards. He was even reciting, "Vegetable seller, laboriously farming in Nanshan. Face full of dirt, two gray temples, ten fingers black. Having nothing better to do after eating, True Monarch doesn't come to be a vegetable seller … "
All the vegetable sellers looked at him with disdain. What kind of crooked poem was this? It was so unpleasant and didn't even rhyme. Even our vegetable sellers' poems were better than yours!
However, no one dared to say anything. Although this young man didn't dress extravagantly, he had just tossed a piece of silver to ask for directions. One look and they could tell that he was rich.
The young man in green walked backwards to the Skyfall Vegetable stall and stood still. He smiled and said, "True Monarch Skyfall, you really made it hard for Ye to find you."
Skyfall was furious. He hated the vegetable sellers around him. Why were they chatting for no reason? Why did they attract this young man? Alright, 80% of his one year of becoming a mortal was going to go to waste.
Skyfall was unhappy. He put away the ancient book in his hand and snorted coldly, "Little brother, did you get the wrong person? My name is Tian Duo, I'm just a vegetable farmer."
"Tian Duo, Skyfall. On the other hand, True Monarch, your name is really not up to standard," a certain person said with a smile.
Skyfall didn't want to say anything more to this young man. Back when he went to the Hunyuan Sect to look for this young man, he actually didn't show up for two years. Now, he was disturbing his mortal transformation. How hateful!
Then, Skyfall said, "Little brother, I still need to sell vegetables. If you want to buy vegetables, then stay. If you don't, please don't delay my business."
