Back to Wushui Town, Things Remained Though People Had Changed

Half a day later!

It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly.

Jiang Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.

Look out into the distance!

What comes into view is a small town nestled on the banks of the Wuhe River.

The sun was directly overhead, casting golden rays of light!

The entire town was bathed in its light, and from a distance, it seemed to be shimmering.

And there were wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys!

In the dim light!!!

You can still hear the lively sounds of the town, bustling and full of life.

A big city has its own bustling and expansive atmosphere!

Small towns have their own unique charm!

Although the town has a small population, not comparable to a big city, it has people that Jiang Yi cares about.

"We're almost at Wushui Town!"

Jiang Yi stood up, feeling a strange mix of trepidation and anticipation for returning home.

Brother Dafeng, Uncle Liu, Jiang Fu, Jiang Sanxi...

I don't know either!

How are they doing now?

Before he left, it seemed they were still diligently practicing martial arts, and had not yet entered the realm of martial arts masters.

Jiang Yi told the wildebeest to stay outside!

It's just a small town!

If it were to go inside, given its enormous size, it would be a disaster!

As for myself, I didn't take to the air or fly; I walked.

Step into Wushui Town!

On either side of him were Nangong Yao and Yue Rou'er, one on his left and one on his right.

I stayed by his side.

"Freshly caught sea bass, on sale! Only four coins a pound, only four coins..."

"These sesame seed cakes are fresh out of the oven, made and sold on the spot, look how hot they are!"

"Straw sandals, straw sandals, Liu Family straw sandals!"

Made from aged cattail reeds, take a look as you pass by! They're comfortable and durable!

"Candied hawthorn berries, oh~~ candied hawthorn berries, a recipe made over thirty years ago, over thirty years..."

"Delicious meat buns! Thin skin and generous filling, only one basket left!"

Once we've sold everything, we're done...

The loud shouts and hawking reached Jiang Yi's ears.

It still feels quite familiar!

They had already entered the town!

Oh, right!

It was Qingshi Street, where he had been a stall owner for a few days before!

The sign for the fishing business still hangs on the place where he lives.

And the Bailiu Street across from the stone bridge is now also a fishing area.

There are disciples from the fishing guild in charge!

He was a martial artist whose cultivation had reached the Skin Grinding Realm!

Um?!!

I ran into someone I know!

Jiang Yi glanced at the stalls on Qingshi Street without thinking!

I saw a boy in the courtyard, striking a strange Stance training.

Hands clasped together, fingertips touching, lower limbs moving at the hips, assume a horse stance!

It looks like he's holding a huge cauldron!

Following a specific frequency, one breathes in and out, regulating one's breath.

It shook my entire body, flesh and bones!

Despite being drenched in sweat, their clothes soaked through, they gritted their teeth and continued to persevere.

That's a Dingyuan pillar!

From <Cauldron Origin Art>!

He started practicing the Yellow-grade martial arts from there and continued to cultivate until he reached the <Indestructible Golden Body>!

The one who cultivated was none other than Uncle Liu's son!

Liu Little Bird, oh no, Liu Zhanpeng!

Jiang Yi only needed a glance to discern his cultivation level.

He has already reached the Great Accomplishment of Muscle Refining Realm!

It seems to be related to cultivation!

They really put in a lot of hard work!

Jiang Yi didn't go in to disturb him, but instead chose to leave directly.

Keep walking forward!

They should all be in the Fishing Guild Courtyard at this time.

Jiang Yi decided to head straight to the compound!

After renovations, the courtyard has been completely transformed.

It has become more opulent.

At the same time, it has expanded considerably in scale, with some new buildings constructed.

However, the overall layout has not changed significantly.

It tastes just like before!

At the entrance of the compound!

Two fishermen's apprentices were standing guard, their backs straight.

He had a very serious and earnest expression!

Upon seeing Jiang Yi and his two companions, the man was handsome and resolute, while the woman was stunningly beautiful.

Everyone possesses a transcendent and otherworldly quality.

He is definitely not an ordinary person.

Their identity is probably extraordinary!

They saw Jiang Yi and the others approach, seemingly about to enter the courtyard.

One of the disciples immediately stepped forward!

"Gentlemen, please stop here!"

May I ask what brings you gentlemen to my fishing establishment?

If it's important!

"I can inform our Fishing Master and have him come to discuss this matter."

"The Fishing Master? Is he here?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied,

"Nothing much, just came back to visit!"

"I'm also from the fishing industry!"

Upon hearing this, the disciple stared at Jiang Yi's appearance and was immediately stunned.

"Ah???"

"Sir... you're also from the fishing industry?"

Before he could ask again, someone came out of the courtyard!

"What happened?"

I see who's coming!

Jiang Yi's lips curled up slightly, a rare smile appearing on his face.

"Brother Dafeng!"

It was Jiang Dafeng who came out!

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Dafeng's body trembled violently.

He suddenly looked up!

"Little... Little Yi, is that you?!"

"It's me!"

"You... you're back?"

"Yes, I'm back!"

Jiang Dafeng was stunned at first, then became ecstatic, his eyes filled with excitement!

He took a big step forward!

Spread your arms out!

Overwhelmed with emotion, she hugged Jiang Yi tightly, murmuring repeatedly—

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

As she spoke, she gripped his shoulders tightly, examining him carefully from head to toe.

"How are you doing out there? Are you alright?"

"Fine!"

"Are you alright?"

"No, I'm perfectly fine!"

"..."

Jiang Yi showed no impatience; for every question Jiang Dafeng asked, he would reply with the same one.

"Brother Dafeng, how are you?"

"Me? Haha!"

Jiang Dafeng grinned, clenched his fist, and his biceps bulged.

"Can't you see? I'm almost a martial artist myself!"

Congratulations!

Jiang Yi could see it immediately; it was the kind of thing that was obvious at a glance.

But he still asked!

It's like chatting casually with a family member, even if the questions are trivial, you know everything about them.

They might also ask a question they already know the answer to!

"It's alright, I guess!"

My natural talent is only average, but Sanxi and Xiaofu have good aptitude for cultivation.

Didn't you wipe out the He family before?

Uncle Liu gave us a lot of resources!

They are now martial artists who have reached the Skin Grinding Realm.

"That's great!"

"But the most amazing one is still you, Xiao Yi. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here today."

"That's all in the past!"

Jiang Yi shook his head and smiled.

"Let it be a thing of the past, and focus on the future—that's what we should be doing!"

"Haha, you're right!"

Jiang Dafeng laughed heartily too!

"Come on, let's not linger at the door, let's go inside quickly!"

"Uncle Liu, Sanxi, and Xiaofu are here too!"

"Tell them they're having a great time!"
