Chapter 016: Wuling Town

  Under the slanting sunset, Yang Fan's shadow was stretched out, gazing at that enchanting Anning town, for the first time in his life, he felt a deep emotional connection to something, and tears fell.

  When he was just born, he had never seen his own biological mother and relied on his father for survival. The two of them came to Wuliuyi Town.

  At that time, Father married a ordinary woman from Wuliu Town as his wife.

  When I was two years old, my younger brother Yang Lei was born.

  At the age of six, Yang Fan was sent to the southern neighbor's house by his father. At that time, Liu Changlao took him in without hesitation, and even didn't test his cultivation talent.

  The next year, his younger brother Yang Lei was determined to follow his older brother to cultivate immortality. Thus, with a hundred reluctant farewells, the Yang family tearfully sent off Yang Lei to the Yang Family Fortress.

  Afterwards, it was twelve years of hard practice.

  Yang's mother Yang was worried that it would affect the two brothers' practice and did not move to Yangjia Village to live with her adopted daughter Yang Hui Xin.

  In these twelve years, Yang Fan and his brother would only return home to reunite once or twice a year, and it was always on important days during the holidays.

  Wu Liu Town...

  Yang Fan wiped away tears, with unprecedented nostalgia and excitement in his heart.

  It turns out that Wuliuyi Town is a pure land deep in one's heart.

  Now, he has just lost his power and is unprecedentedly isolated in Yangjia Village, suffering all kinds of insults and sarcasm.

  When he returned to Wuliuyi Town again, he felt that it was so lovely and close to his heart.

  With an inexplicable feeling, Yang Fan walked slowly towards Wuliuyi Town under the setting sun.

  A winding path, a willow forest at dusk, a small town, so peaceful and quiet, like a sleeping beauty.

  When Yang Fan walked into Wuliuyi Town, it only caused a small ripple.

  After all, Wuliuyi Town was just a world where ordinary people lived, and they knew very little about the information of the immortal world.

  Even if the people here knew that Yang Fan had returned in defeat, they wouldn't mock him openly like the people in Yangjia Village did.

  "What? Isn't this Yang Tian's eldest son? I heard he went to Yangjia Village to study the immortal's art, how come he's back at this time?"

  "Last night's rumor had it that Yang Tian's eldest son, who was practicing magic, made some mistakes and became an ordinary person... now he's finally back home..."

  "Haha, no need to cultivate immortality, I think this young man is quite good, and he's too handsome, which girl wouldn't like him? Another day, I'll be the matchmaker and arrange a marriage for him..."

  Yang Fan entered Wuliu Town and ran into familiar people, who would still greet him with a wave.

  "Hey, Fan Ge, didn't you go to cultivate immortality? How come you're back at this time?"

  The iron cow eyes of the neighbor's house are very thief-like, and they saw Yang Fan from a distance.

  "Tiě niú, yī nián bù jiàn, nǐ zhè gè lǎo zi yòu cháng zhuàng le yī duàn."

  Translation: "Iron Bull, not seen for a year, you've grown even more robust."

  Yang Fan's happy way.

  Tie Niu and his peers, when they were first born, weighed around 8 or 9 kilograms, with innate divine strength. He apprenticed under a martial arts master in the secular world and learned some famous moves.

  At this moment, Tie Niu looks like a fierce bull, with a sturdy build and is one head taller than Yang Fan, just like a small giant.

  "Brother Fan has returned from his immortal cultivation journey and should have learned many spells. When can we spar and test each other?"

  Tie Niu smiled foolishly and said, his loud voice could be heard for half a street.

  Yang's old house.

  "Hui Xin, how come I hear Tie Niu's bellowing, it sounds like Fan Er has returned home..."

  Yang was doing housework when he suddenly heard a noise outside.

  "Mom, I'm going out for a look..."

  A gentle and pleasant voice of a young girl came from the boudoir.

  "I won't chat with you anymore... I'll go in and see Mother and little sister."

  Yang Fan put down Tie Niu and walked towards the old Yang house.

  It's a wooden ordinary house built eighteen years ago, and it is as old as Yang Fan.

  Looking at the house built by his father, Yang Fan's eyes showed a complex and indescribable emotion, and he muttered to himself: "Father... where did you go?"

  The door creaked open suddenly.

  "Big brother..."

  A familiar and beautiful figure appeared in front of Yang Fan, exclaiming in surprise.

  This is a slender and elegant girl, dressed in simple clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, a delicate and pale face like misty jade, and silky black hair tied back.

  His voice was as gentle as the wind and soft as water, with a pair of gentle eyes that seemed to have a spiritual quality.

  "Good news, big brother is back..."

  Yang Fan smiled as he gazed at his younger sister Yang Hui Xin, who had become even more beautiful after not seeing her for half a year. Her original beauty was now like a flower in bloom. What's more precious was that sweet and gentle voice that soothed the soul.

  "Mother, mother, big brother is back, you come out quickly."

  Yang Hui's heart was filled with joy and her words overflowed as she pulled Yang Fan's hand and walked into the house, shouting.

  "Fan Er is back..."

  A slightly trembling voice came over, and Yang walked out of the inner room, seeing her eldest son in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes.

  "Mother, I'm back."

  Yang Fan walked up and grasped his mother's trembling hand, only to see more crow's feet on her face.

  "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

  Yang wiped away her tears and didn't ask Yang Fan why he came back, nor did she ask about her younger brother Yang Lei's whereabouts.

  "Come on, sit down quickly, it's getting late, I'll go cook for you."

  Yang and her son chatted for a few words, then went to the kitchen to cook.

  Yang Fan was moved in his heart, he had already guessed that his mother and sister should know about his dispersing of Yangjiaao's power.

  However, neither of them mentioned it.

  "Big brother, since you're back home, just settle down and live here peacefully. Wuliuyi Town is your home now."

  Yang Hui Xin poured tea for Yang Fan and said.

  Then Yang Hui Xin told Yang Fan some family news, all of which were happy things.

  Yang Fan quietly listened, not wanting to break this warm and peaceful atmosphere.

  "Huixin, you're already seventeen this year. According to worldly customs, it's also the age for marriage. In Wuliuyuan Town, is there a suitable family..."

  Yang Fan again proactively mentioned Yang Hui Xin's marriage.

  Because he returned this time, Hui Xinzhi's appearance was unparalleled, although not stunning the country and city, but also considered to be a beauty that shames the moon and flowers. Adding her gentle personality, it should have been expected that many people would come to propose marriage.

  "Big brother......" Yang Hui's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head, mentioning this issue, which made any girl feel shy.

  "Ahem... Ahem..." Yang Fan coughed lightly twice to cover up his embarrassment, and smiled: "Big brother forgot, this is the Mortal Realm."

  The secular world and the immortal cultivation world have a big difference. The former is bound by powerful feudal etiquette, while the latter is relatively freer.

  In the world of cultivating immortals, if male and female cultivators have private contact or are alone together, freely falling in love, it's not unusual.

  But in the secular world, if such a thing happens, the woman would be labeled as "shameless" and "unchaste". What's more, in some places, the woman would even be locked in a cage and thrown into the river to appease the river god.

  Yang Fan has been living in the Immortal Realm for many years and has adapted to the free communication that breaks through the feudal etiquette constraints of the Immortal Realm.

  "It's not Brother Yang's fault, in the past half year, there have been quite a few people coming to our door asking for my hand in marriage..." Yang Hui said softly, stealing a glance at Yang Fan, "But, I don't like such ordinary and worldly people. Luckily Mother loves me and asks for my opinion..."

  "Hehe." Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh and said, "So sister has high standards and looks down on these ordinary men. Could it be that sister wants to go to the Immortal Realm to find a good match?"

  "Big brother is teasing me again……” Yang Hui's lips curled up in a smile, her shyness gradually fading away, her bright eyes slightly dimming as she said: “Ever since I was young, seeing big brother and third brother go up the mountain to cultivate immortality together, my heart has been filled with envy. However, I, Hui, have dull innate talent, destined to be unable to cultivate immortality, only able to watch those immortal masters float away from the dust, so carefree and at ease.”

  Yang Fan let out a light sigh: "Listen to my advice, little sister. Never fall in love with someone from the immortal realm. The gap between immortals and mortals is too great, their lifespans are vastly different, and they can't withstand the test of time. In the end, it will only bring more sorrow."

  Yang Hui's eyes flashed: "What decision will big brother make in the future?"

  "The path to immortality is a road of no return..." Yang Fan's eyes gleamed with a profound and boundless light, his body exuding an otherworldly aura that blended seamlessly into the surroundings.

  Yang Hui Xin's eyes trembled inexplicably at these words.

  At this moment, a muffled hum came from the kitchen, Yang's voice.

  "Mom, what's wrong!"

  Yang Fan and his sister stood up at the same time and walked into the kitchen, only to find that Yang was accidentally cut on the finger while chopping vegetables.

  "It's nothing......" Yang endured the pain and forced a smile at the two of them: "Just bandage it up and I'll be fine, you guys go to the main room and chat."

  "How can this be done? Let your daughter help you."

  Yang Hui didn't say a word and took over Yang's household chores, helping with cooking.

  "Mother, come here, I'm currently studying medicine, let me treat you."

  Yang Fan raised his mother's hand, and with the other hand, a layer of mist that was invisible to the naked eye fell onto the wound on Yang's finger. Then, pretending to massage the acupoint, he covered the wound with his hand.

  Yang felt a cool sensation flowing over the wound on his finger.

  After a moment, Yang Fan moved his hand away, and saw that the skin of the Yang family's original wound had already grown new flesh like that of an infant.

  Undamaged.

  "Huh?"

  After healing his mother's wound, Yang Fan suddenly had a strange feeling.

  Two updates completed, seeking votes.
