"I don't care. Anyway, when the time comes, you must put in a good word for my sister in front of your Uncle Gu."
"Otherwise, I won't spare you."
"Got it. You are so barbaric. No one will marry you when you grow up."
"Humph, it's none of your business …"
The bickering of the two children, Chen Erya and Wang Xiaoniu, interrupted the woman in white's thoughts and made her come back to her senses.
She regained her composure and looked at the children in front of her.
Almost all the children were giving suggestions to Chen Erya's elder sister.
Although they were not old, they knew quite a lot about the matters of men and women getting married.
Each of them acted like an old man and seemed to know it very well.
This made the woman in white smile and shake her head with a smile.
However, this scene also caused her to withdraw her many thoughts.
No matter what, the past was gone, and the past could not be recalled.
Even if she was immersed in these past memories every day, it was impossible to change anything.
Instead of such endless fantasies and expectations, it was better to face all this and regain her sobriety.
That beautiful dreamland had long been shattered, and even the edges were badly mangled.
What else did she not dare to face?
Wang Erniu's house was located at the entrance of the village, which was not far from the private school. It was only a few miles away.
After the woman in white finished teaching all the children, she left the small academy.
She hid in the void and followed behind Wang Xiaoniu, Chen Erya, and the other children, intending to take a look at the man surnamed Gu.
These children were innocent. On the way home, they did not forget to tease Chen Erya about what happened in the morning.
"Erya, when you grow up, will you also find a good-looking man and marry him like your sister?"
Several girls of the same age said with a smile.
"Of course."
Chen Erya's big eyes rolled, and she said with a confident smile, "When I grow up, I will definitely be more good-looking than my sister and find a husband who is more good-looking than Uncle Xiaoniu."
"You are so barbaric. He won't like you."
Wang Xiaoniu curled his lips.
However, as soon as he said this, he was punched by Chen Erya. The two began to play again while running to the entrance of the village.
The rest of his companions chased after him. They were carefree and happy.
When the woman in white saw this, she felt a little envious.
This was a pure and unadulterated emotion.
Perhaps the two children couldn't feel it now, but when they were a little older, they would understand.
Today's playfulness was such a rare moment of pure affection. They were childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.
At this moment, the scene in front of Wang Xiaoniu's house was quite lively.
Many villagers gathered around, as if they were watching a show.
Many busybodies were still cracking jokes and making fun of the newcomers.
A woman with fair skin and a beautiful face wearing a light green dress stood behind her parents with a slightly shy expression on her face. Her jade-like hands were tightly gripping the hem of her dress.
She had a thin layer of powder on her face and a little makeup on her face. In this nurturing landscape, there was a kind of bright and moving beauty.
She was the sister that Chen Erya mentioned, Chen Ya.
The famous beauty of Qingshan Village owned a tofu shop at the entrance of the village.
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also kind-hearted. The tofu she made was also delicious.
Many busybodies also called her the Tofu Beauty, which showed her beauty.
Many young men nearby wanted to marry her.
Even the big families in the city had come to propose marriage, but she rejected them all.
In front of Chen Ya were her parents and a matchmaker with a very kind smile. They were holding Wang Xiaoniu's mother's hand and chatting about family matters.
From time to time, the surrounding villagers would chime in with a laugh and help out a little.
They could also see that Chen Ya's parents had brought Chen Ya personally, and they even brought a matchmaker. There was no need to say what their intentions were.
However, the man surnamed Gu that they wanted to meet had followed Wang Erniu to the market today.
He had been selling some fruits and melons that he had grown, and he hadn't returned yet.
Many young men who heard the news were extremely envious.
To them, Chen Ya was like a goddess. Usually, no matter who proposed marriage, she would politely reject them.
But who would have thought that a girl like her would be so bold? She would not hesitate to persuade her parents and personally bring a matchmaker.
"It's a pity that I don't have her appearance. It's normal that Little Ya doesn't like me."
"Since ancient times, it's only right for a beauty to be matched with a handsome man."
However, they also knew what they looked like. They knew that they were ugly, so it was natural that Chen Ya would not like them.
The Chen family was considered wealthy in Qingshan Village.
Therefore, Chen Ya and her parents did not think about asking for any betrothal gifts.
They came in person to persuade Wang Xiaoniu's mother to help say something.
In their opinion, Gu Changge was taken in by the Wang family, and the people he usually interacted with the most were the three members of the Wang family.
He had led a wandering life and had no relatives. Perhaps he had already regarded the three members of the Wang family as his family in his heart?
Chen Ya's parents had a scholarly aura. They came from a scholarly family, so they were polite and appropriate in their speech.
This made Wang Xiaoniu's mother feel helpless, but she could not directly refuse.
How could they make the decision for Gu Changge?
"Sister, Dad, Mom …"
At this time, Chen Erya and Wang Xiaoniu, who were jumping around, came over when they saw this scene.
Chen Ya looked at her sister and smiled. She reached out and pinched her sister's nose.
"Sister, you don't know how to be reserved. People who don't know will think that you can't get married."
"But I asked Xiaoniu to put in a good word for you."
"How are you going to thank me?"
As soon as she arrived, Chen Erya began to ask for credit with a smile on her little face.
Chen Ya reached out and poked her eyebrows. She pretended to be angry and said, "Don't talk so much. No one will think that you are mute."
"Mom …"
Wang Xiaoniu also went to greet her.
"Xiaoniu, it's good that you are back. The old Taoist you mentioned before is now waiting for you at home."
Seeing that he came back, Wang Xiaoniu's mother could not help but smile. She hurriedly pulled him and said.
Just this morning, an old Daoist dressed in rags suddenly appeared in their house with a middle-aged man who looked extraordinary.
He asked if this was Wang Xiaoniu's house.
Wang Xiaoniu's mother was just an ordinary peasant woman. She had never seen such a scene. She was very shocked.
But when she thought of the immortal opportunity that Wang Xiaoniu mentioned before, she calmed down and answered honestly.
Although the old Taoist looked kind, the middle-aged man beside him made Wang Xiaoniu's mother feel uneasy and afraid.
She originally wanted to go to the private school to find Wang Xiaoniu and ask him to go home.
But the old Taoist hinted that there was no need to do that. He just needed to wait here.
And this wait lasted the whole morning.
"What?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoniu's eyes widened. When he came to his senses, the surprised expression on his face could not be concealed at all.
He almost felt that the old Taoist was lying to him or had forgotten about him.
But he did not expect that the old Taoist would really come and appear in his house.
At this moment, everything was thrown to the back of his mind.
How could it be more important than his own cultivation?
"That's great …"
Wang Xiaoniu's face was full of joy and pride. He was very excited and could not help but show off to Chen Erya. "Erya, from today on, your Brother Erniu will become an immortal."
"In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. I'll protect you."
Wang Xiaoniu's mother did not mention this at all before, nor did she mention it to Chen Ya's parents and the others. She just casually chatted with them at the door.
At this moment, all the villagers were shocked when they heard this. They wondered if they had heard wrongly.
Wang Xiaoniu was going to become an immortal?
Chen Ya's family was also shocked by these words. They almost forgot the purpose of their trip.
"Xiaoniu, you're not lying to me, right?"
Chen Erya was also shocked. Her small mouth was wide open in disbelief.
Since they were young, they knew that immortals existed in this world.
Immortals could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. They were omnipotent.
They had also once revered and yearned to become such immortals one day.
However, cultivation required opportunities and talent. They did not have the talent and opportunity, so naturally, they had no chance to cultivate.
But now, Wang Xiaoniu suddenly told her that he could become an immortal?
How could this not make Chen Erya shocked and envious?
"That day when I was herding cows, I met a kind old Taoist. He came here on his sword …"
Wang Xiaoniu said proudly. Many of the villagers around him were even more shocked because of his words.
His luck was simply unparalleled.
At this moment, in Wang Xiaoniu's house, an old Taoist with a genial face, wearing a somewhat tattered feather robe, was sitting on a stool, looking calm and composed.
"It seems that this kid is back …"
He listened to the movements outside and revealed a faint smile. He took off the gourd hanging on his waist, raised his head, and drank wine.
Beside the old Daoist stood a middle-aged man.
However, this middle-aged man's clothes and expression were extremely inconsistent with the sloppy old Taoist.
He was wearing a golden robe made of the Yin-Yang Divine Fire Silk. He wore a golden crown on his head. The robe was wide, and there were patterns of order hanging down in some places.
When his eyes opened and closed, there were wisps of golden light flashing past. His aura was majestic, and he was not angry but dignified.
Clearly, this middle-aged man was a cultivator with a powerful cultivation base.
Even if his aura was restrained, he still looked extremely terrifying.
"Ancestor, are you sure that the guy outside is really a good seedling?"
"But in my opinion, he is really useless. He is even worse than those disciples in the sect …"
The middle-aged man was very respectful to this old Taoist in front of him.
At this moment, he also showed some confusion and could not help but ask.
In such a remote small mountain village, there was a seedling that even the ancestor praised?
He felt a little unbelievable. Just now, he had actually used all kinds of methods to size up the guy named Wang Xiaoniu.
However, not to mention the root bone, he probably could not even sense the aura.
As for Sword Bone's talent in the Way of the Sword, he had to be able to cultivate first.
In his opinion, this child named Wang Xiaoniu was just lucky to have a sword bone.
Other than that, he was not good at anything.
However, in today's great world, even if he had a sword bone, it would still be useless even if he cultivated for thousands of years.
Not to mention that a talent like the sword bone was not particularly powerful.
"Don't you trust this old man's judgment?"
"This little guy will not be simple in the future. Don't look down on him because of his current appearance."
"Don't look down on a young man because he is poor."
Hearing this, the sloppy old Taoist only shook his head and smiled. He did not explain much.
A strong smell of alcohol pervaded his body. He did not care about his appearance and was unkempt.
If he appeared in other places, he would probably be thought of as an old beggar.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man did not say anything, but he was still confused.
He knew the identity of this old Taoist, so he did not doubt his words at all.
"Let's go out and see this little guy."
The old Taoist got up, patted the dust on his butt, and walked out with a smile.
The middle-aged man followed closely behind.
All the villagers outside were shocked by Wang Xiaoniu's words, and they were speechless for a long time.
Some of them had even forgotten that they were here to watch the Chen family's show.
With the appearance of the old Taoist and the middle-aged man, some villagers who were still confused no longer doubted. Their expressions became respectful and fearful.
No matter what, Immortals were not people in the same world as them.
The strong lived as long as the heavens and could destroy the world. Even the most powerful dynasty could be destroyed with a finger.
Just by standing there, the middle-aged man gave them an indescribable and terrifying pressure.
Their souls seemed to be trembling, and they wanted to kneel down before him.
However, when he faced this sloppy old Daoist, he was incomparably respectful.
This made all the villagers envious of Wang Xiaoniu. Obviously, this old Taoist's background was even more shocking and terrifying.
"Greetings, Upper Immortal."
Some villagers were afraid and could not help but kneel down and begin to salute.
Chen Ya, Chen Erya, and the others were also afraid and did not dare to speak again. Before this, they did not know that there would be an Immortal in the Wang family.
"Little guy, do you still remember me?"
The old Taoist did not care about this. He looked at Wang Xiaoniu with a smile and a kind expression.
Wang Xiaoniu was not too afraid of him.
Hearing that, he quickly nodded and said hurriedly, "Yes, I remember. This is the jade pendant you gave me. I have been keeping it well."
As he spoke, he took out the exquisite jade pendant with sword patterns and handed it to the old Taoist in front of him.
Seeing this jade pendant with sword patterns, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank, and he was shocked.
He did not expect that his ancestor would even give away this jade pendant.
However, he soon noticed that his ancestor glanced at the void not far away, and then withdrew his gaze.
The middle-aged man was puzzled. He also looked in that direction, and then he quickly noticed that something was wrong.
He immediately frowned and snorted, "Who is spying here, hiding and not daring to show up?"
