A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

But Bai Yuan's next words made the two of them anxious again.

"A verbal apology isn't enough for me to feel truly sincere!"

Bai Yuan had a faint smile on his face. Now that these two had come to him, how could he let them go so easily?

Seeing this, Han Fei and Li Si exchanged glances, then nodded slightly and made a decision immediately.

"Uncle-Master, you're new to Little Sage Manor, so you must not be familiar with this place yet. How about we two show you around?"

Bai Yuan nodded in satisfaction, surprised that the two of them were so cooperative.

"Exactly what I want!"

Chapter 48 I'm already drunk before I've even had a drink?

Following Han Fei and Li Si, Bai Yuan and the others strolled around the Little Sage Village.

Starting from the council hall, they walked along a forest path and arrived at the very center of Little Sage Village.

Several grand halls are located here, the first one that catches the eye is the Duxing Hall. The Book of Rites says: "A scholar is learned without being exhausted, and diligent in practice without being weary."

Next is the Imperial Academy Hall, where the Master taught his students.

When Bai Yuan and the others passed by, they could faintly hear the sound of reading coming from inside, but Bai Yuan wasn't very interested in it, so he didn't go in to take a look.

Han Fei and Li Si kept introducing things to them, and by the time they finished walking around, their mouths were almost dry from talking.

Apart from the Hall of Three Provinces, the Hall of a Hundred Herbs, and the Library, which they did not visit, they toured places like the Hall of Accumulated Subtleties, the Pavilion of Morning Dew, the Pavilion of Welcoming the Wind, and the Hall of Six Arts.

After touring the entire Xiaoshengxianzhuang, they rested in the Yingfeng Pavilion at the end of the winding corridor.

Just then, everyone suddenly heard Lu's stomach growl.

"Goo~"

Lu clutched her stomach, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Han Fei and Li Si couldn't help but smile when they saw this.

"Xiaoshengxianzhuang doesn't have a kitchen; all three meals a day are provided by the inns outside. Judging from the usual schedule, they should be delivered soon."

Just then, Lu Zhonglian, Xun Kuang, and Wuming appeared here, having apparently finished their business.

"What are you guys talking about!"

Upon seeing them, Bai Yuan and the others immediately stood up and bowed.

"Isn't it time to eat? I'm getting a little hungry."

"I see, we didn't consider that."

Lu Zhonglian nodded slightly, then sent someone to urge them to see if the food had arrived.

Not long after, the Confucian disciple replied that the meal was ready.

Next, the Confucian sect leader personally entertained Bai Yuan and the others, and then Bai Yuan ate the most uncomfortable meal of his life.

In front of Lu Zhonglian, the leader of the Confucian school, and Xun Kuang, a Confucian master, Bai Yuan behaved very properly, unable to enjoy his meal and only managing a forced laugh throughout the entire process.

Although he was of the same generation as these two old men, he always felt as if he were facing an elder, a feeling that even surpassed that of his senior brother, Chisongzi.

After finally finishing his meal, Bai Yuan quickly found an excuse to leave.

Watching Bai Yuan leave, Lu Zhonglian and the others couldn't help but chuckle, especially Wuming, who felt it was quite a feat for Bai Yuan to finish the meal so properly.

After leaving the dinner party, Bai Yuan took Ningyan to the residence arranged for him by the Confucian school.

Upon arriving at the destination, Bai Yuan's eyes immediately lit up.

It's a sea-view villa!

This is a house built by the sea, with a small courtyard. The house is spacious, bright and clean, and spotless.

Besides a large hall, the house also has two rooms, one large and one small, with pillows and bedding neatly folded on the beds.

Looking out the window, you can see a vast blue sea, and a flock of birds flying low and circling over the water.

Looking at the vast and boundless ocean, Bai Yuan felt an unparalleled sense of peace in his heart.

"After traveling for so long, today..."

Finally, I can get a good night's sleep!

Bai Yuan stretched and then started packing his luggage.

After putting away his clothes and other belongings, Bai Yuan's gaze involuntarily focused on the peach blossom sword.

Speaking of which, it has been two months since he left Mount Taiyi, and Tao Yao's somewhat arrogant appearance involuntarily came to mind.

He once said that he was the only person on the entire Taiyi Mountain who could talk to her, but in reality, over the years, he could only confide in Tao Yao.

His disciples thought he was eccentric and most of them were unwilling to associate with him. Even the few disciples who didn't care would choose to follow the crowd out of some concern.

Besides his disciples, several elders also had strong opinions about him.

As the senior disciple, Chisongzi was the only one who had a good relationship with him. Because he could only see his master, Beimingzi, a few times a year, Chisongzi took care of Bai Yuan before he became a disciple at the age of eight. After he became a disciple, Chisongzi was also responsible for teaching him most of the lessons.

Over the years, Chisongzi has allowed Baiyuan to do many things that seem absurd to outsiders, but he has also been busy with cultivation and handling affairs of the Heavenly Sect.

Therefore, Bai Yuan was actually quite lonely on Mount Taiyi.

That is to say, Tao Yao is there to keep him company, occasionally bicker with him, talk to him, play around with him, and cultivate together. The relationship between the human and the demon is no longer as simple as that of ordinary friends.

Why did I suddenly become so sentimental?

Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head, shaking off these thoughts, and went to the courtyard with his peach wood sword.

Winter had already arrived, and it had even snowed lightly in Sanghai before.

The leaves of the tree in the yard had long since withered and fallen.

Ningyan saw Bai Yuan running into the courtyard with his sword, and followed him out.

Hearing the noise, Bai Yuan turned around, glanced at the source, and said with a smile, "Want to eat a peach?"

"peach?"

Ningyan looked puzzled; she didn't understand why Bai Yuan would suddenly ask such a question.

"Where would you find peaches at this time of year?"

"Nothing is impossible for a willing heart! If you want to eat, you can have it!"

Bai Yuan flicked his fingers, and the Peach Blossom Sword flew out, directly embedding itself in the ground beneath the tree.

Then he quickly formed hand seals, activating the power of the Peach Blossom Sword. A warm, spring-like aura emanated from the sword and flowed into the tree's interior through the underground roots.

Influenced by the Peach Blossom Sword, Ningyan saw that the tree in front of her was like a withered tree coming back to life, sprouting peach blossom buds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I have never seen such a sight in my life.

She covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes wide, staring blankly at the peach blossoms in the courtyard full of spring, feeling a warm and gentle spring breeze blowing by.

But where does the spring breeze come from in winter?

Bai Yuan sat under the tree and patted the ground next to Ning Yan.

"Sit down and wait. Once the peach blossoms fall, you can eat peaches!"

Ningyan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down next to him.

Looking at Bai Yuan's profile, she asked with some curiosity, "How did you do that?"

"I didn't do it, Peach Blossom Sword did."

"Peach Blossom Sword?"

Upon hearing this, Ningyan began to examine Bai Yuan's sword.

All she knew was that this was a sword that Bai Yuan had carved himself. Before this, she had always thought it was just an ordinary peach wood sword, but now it seemed that it was not.

However, given her level of expertise, it's unrealistic for her to come up with a definitive answer.

So after staring at it for a while and finding nothing of interest, Ningyan looked away.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard. The two turned around and saw Han Fei and Li Si appear in their field of vision.

As soon as they entered, they saw the peach trees in full bloom, which startled Han Fei so much that he dropped the wine gourd in his hand.

"We haven't even had a drink yet, and we're already drunk?"

At this moment, Han Fei and Li Si were plunged into deep self-doubt.

Chapter 49 Why don't you just sell me?

"Why are you here?"

Bai Yuan's voice brought the two of them back to their senses.

The two men, realizing what had happened, immediately bowed and replied, "It's like this, I just happened to fetch a pot of good wine today and thought I'd come over to share it with you, my Martial Uncle, as an apology for my rudeness today!"

Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow; this reason was clearly just an excuse and shouldn't be taken seriously.

He hadn't cared about such formalities anyway, and besides, the two of them had taken them on a tour of Xiaoshengxianzhuang that morning, so he had already apologized.

However, upon hearing that there was wine to drink, he no longer cared why the two had come.

"In that case, let's sit down and wait!"

Bai Yuan pointed to an empty space on one side.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei picked up the wine gourd and sat down with Li Si.

The two of them looked at the peach blossoms covering the tree, still somewhat bewildered.

"Uncle-Master, why is this tree blooming?"

Is it strange that trees can bloom?

Han Fei and Li Si were taken aback by the question and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Isn't that strange in the dead of winter?
