Chapter 289: Too many things to do

He didn't expect that Lu Yu, who was supposed to be studying at the Soul Master Academy, would appear here. You know, the person in front of him was the most talented child he had tested, but it was a pity that he didn't trick him into the Spirit Hall.

But why did this guy appear in the village now? Su Yuntao was puzzled. After all, Lu Yu was now a serious soul master and his future was limitless. It was better to make friends with him than to offend him.

Although it was somewhat embarrassing to be caught saying bad things about others in public, Su Yuntao certainly had no better way, so he just coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.

At the same time, he seemed to have thought of something, and his brows knitted tightly together. He looked at Lu Yu and said, "What's wrong with you, kid? Why are you not in the Soul Master School? Why are you back to the village?"

"Could it be...Could it be that you thought the training in the Soul Master School was too hard, so you sneaked back?"

It's no wonder Su Yuntao has such doubts, because such things have happened before. Although this is only an extremely rare phenomenon, most people still cherish the opportunity to become a soul master.

Lu Yu didn't expect that Su Yuntao's first thought when he saw him was that he had sneaked back. Lu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stood beside Su Yuntao and said, "Brother Yuntao, what are you talking about?"

"Being a soul master is something that many people envy, how could I not want to practice and sneak back?"

Su Yuntao thought about it and felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing - Lu Yu was right. For most people to become soul masters, their ancestors would have been very successful. How could anyone not want to practice?

So he softened his expression and asked again: "If that's the case, why did you appear in the village? Logically speaking, shouldn't you be practicing in school now?"

After hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother Yuntao, this is a long story... In short, to put it simply, I have to come out to do something."

"Because of other reasons, he was delayed for a long time. It happened that he passed by our Holy Soul Village on his way back."

"I am now moved and want to come back to take a look. After all, the village chief and the villagers have supported me."

"Now that I have become a soul master, I want to live a better life than before. Naturally, I have to come back to thank every villager who has helped me."

"That's why I plan to stay in the village for a few days and then go back to the Soul Master Academy."

Su Yuntao felt relieved after hearing this: "I believe you are not a person who doesn't plan for success. Just know what you are doing. Remember to go back as soon as you are done."

"Don't stay outside for too long. You can't delay your cultivation. The more diligent you are, the further you can go."

"If you don't practice diligently, when will you be able to become a great soul master?"

At this point, Su Yuntao asked curiously, "Lu Yu, what is your current strength?"

Lu Yu grinned and said modestly, "I am now a level 29 Great Spirit Master."

Su Yuntao nodded slightly: "Yes, you are only a level 29 Great Spirit Master now, which is not bad... What did you say? You are already a Great Spirit Master?"

"And you are now level 29? Doesn't that mean... you are going to hunt down a third soul beast and obtain a third soul ring?"

Su Yuntao stared with a look of disbelief, which made Lu Yu not know what to say for a moment to dispel Su Yuntao's excitement.

Lu Yu saw that more and more tourists were looking towards them, and everyone seemed to want to come over here. Lu Yu didn't want Su Yuntao to affect the development of tourism in Shenghun Village.

He didn't want to be stared at like a monkey, so he quickly reached out and took Su Yuntao's arm, and said to him with a smile on his face: "Don't get excited now, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you come with me to the village and sit for a while."

"We can talk slowly about anything. It just so happens that I also have some questions about spirit rings, and I want to ask you."

Su Yuntao didn't think much about it. Although he was shocked by Lu Yu's speed of advancement, there were still some things he didn't understand and he needed to ask him for advice. Anyway, he came to the Holy Soul Village in advance because he had plenty of time.

I didn't expect that there would be such a strange stone tablet in the Holy Soul Village, and a strange story written on it. Su Yuntao also wanted to ask it carefully, what was going on?

He followed behind Lu Yu, complaining as he walked: "By the way, who made up the story on the stone tablet in your Holy Soul Village?"

"On my way here, I heard a lot of people discussing this. This is simply ridiculous..."

As they were talking, they turned around the stone tablet and entered the Holy Soul Village. The beautiful scenery in the Holy Soul Village suddenly appeared in front of Su Yuntao, giving him a beauty critical strike, which made Su Yuntao instantly widen his eyes in surprise.

"What's going on? When did your Holy Soul Village become so beautiful?"

Su Yuntao was a little surprised: "Your original Holy Soul Village is no different from other villages around it."

"When I came here last year, it was still in a dilapidated state. But when did this place undergo such a dramatic change?"

"This is too beautiful, has your Holy Soul Village made a fortune? How did you have the money to build such a beautiful village?"

Just when Su Yuntao asked this question casually, Lu Yu keenly discovered that the people around who heard this instantly looked towards them. Lu Yu glanced at Su Yuntao speechlessly.

He smiled innocently and said, "You are just kidding. Our Holy Soul Village has always been mainly engaged in farming."

"What's the difference between this and other villages around here? How can we make a fortune? If we could make a fortune, why would every household of ours still farm?"

"The main reason is that everyone feels that the village is too dilapidated. If we want to repair it, we have no money, so we can only think of primitive methods!"

"You see, the stones used to build the road were dug from the mountains and picked up from the river... The flower seeds were collected and planted by the villagers together."

"The villagers were all willing to build our Holy Spirit Village, and no one wanted a penny, so we didn't spend a penny on the renovation of the village."

"So it's not as weird as you say. The people in our Holy Soul Village are very hardworking. Now it seems that our village is very beautiful. In addition to building these external facilities..."

Lu Yu pointed to the trash cans around him and said proudly, "The environment in the village has been kept clean by everyone."

"That's why you feel that our village is different now, don't you think?"

Following Lu Yu's words, Su Yuntao looked around. These houses had not changed much from before. They were still short and squat, but with the backdrop of these flowers, they did look a bit novel.

Maybe I was overthinking it... Su Yuntao nodded: "You're right, it's just a few more flowers and plants."

Lu Yu wanted to curse Su Yuntao in his heart. This guy was really causing trouble for him. Among those people just now there must be villagers from the surrounding area. If they spread the news that his village had made a fortune, who knows what problems would arise in the future.

Fortunately, his explanation was reasonable, and Su Yuntao admitted it vigorously, so there were no such exaggerated changes. This resolved the current crisis... Lu Yu smiled and took Su Yuntao with him as they walked towards the village.

While Su Yuntao started to act as his own tour guide, he originally had no intention of visiting the village. He was not curious about these things at all because this story sounded fake.

However, as Lu Yu walked and talked vividly, the story of the gray boy seemed to unfold in front of Su Yuntao. Coupled with Lu Yu's exaggerated tone, Su Yuntao was actually fascinated for a while.

He completely forgot his previous arrogant attitude. When the village chief got the information and rushed over, he saw Lu Yu and Su Yuntao sitting in his yard and chatting happily.

This finally put the village chief's worries to rest. When he heard that someone from the Spirit Hall had come, he was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his chair.

After thinking about it for a while, he knew what the people from the Spirit Hall were here for - the spirit awakening would be in these few days, but they always came on time in the past. Who would have thought that this time, they would come early?

Before he even entered the yard, the village chief heard the conversation between Su Yuntao and Lu Yu: "...I think this Soul Saint is too good-tempered. If it were me, I would go to the ends of the earth to find his stepmother and stepbrother."

"I will not stop until I return all the humiliation I suffered... And why did the family property left by his father go to those three people?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "How can I not understand what you said? Otherwise, how can I say that he is a prime minister with a broad mind? He is worthy of being a soul saint."

"Of course, these are stories passed down by the older generation in our village. Whether they are true or not is hard to tell."

"It's just that every time people in our village go out to do business, they are asked about the origin of the village name."

"It just so happened that when I came back this time, someone asked me about the origin of the name on the way, so I discussed it with the village chief."

"Since everyone is so curious about our story, why not write it down and let everyone know what's going on..."

At this moment, the village chief had opened the gate and walked in. When he saw Su Kuntao, he first said to him respectfully: "I didn't expect you to come so early, sir."

"I was not well prepared and did not go to greet you. Please forgive me, sir. Please do not take it to heart."

Su Yuntao waved his hand, not taking it to heart: "It's not your fault, I came early this time... but it just so happened that I came a little early this time."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up with the excitement in your village..."

In fact, when the village chief heard that someone from the Spirit Hall was coming, the first thing he worried about was that their story would make the people from the Spirit Hall unhappy. However, it seems that what he guessed did not happen.

The village chief quietly exhaled a long breath, then respectfully walked in front of Su Yuntao and asked carefully, "Sir, will the martial soul awakening of our Holy Soul Village be advanced by a few days this year? Sir, please sit for a while, I will go to gather the children now, please wait for a while."

Lu Yu glanced at Su Yuntao. He knew that Su Yuntao didn't seem to be in a hurry to come here this time. He looked at his face and saw that he didn't look impatient. He rolled his eyes and said to the village chief, "Grandpa village chief, I would say you shouldn't be so anxious. The villagers of our Holy Soul Village have always been good at cooking. Although Brother Yuntao is an envoy of the Spirit Hall."

"He has eaten all kinds of delicious food outside, but it is rare for him to come to a rural area like ours. We can let him try some of these wild game."

"Maybe Brother Yuntao will like it very much. I also want to take Brother Yuntao around our Holy Soul Village later... so let's have the Soul Awakening Ceremony."

"I don't think we need to rush today. We should still be able to make it tomorrow..."

At this point, he turned his head to look at Su Yuntao, and asked as if he was sincerely asking him: "Brother Yuntao, what do you think?"

After listening to Lu Yu's words, Su Yuntao thought about it for a while and felt that it was okay. Anyway, he had a lot of time in the last few days. This year's martial soul awakening activities were completed quickly. Now only the Holy Soul Village and another village were left to be done. He did have a few days to delay.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I came here in a hurry today and didn't inform you in advance, so why not start the martial soul awakening tomorrow."

When the village chief heard this, he nodded happily and agreed, and then hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you guys are really thoughtful. I will go get some snacks that our Holy Soul Village has just developed."

"Let the masters of the Spirit Hall have a taste too, hehe..."

As he said that, he walked quickly outside. He turned around and let out a long sigh. Thanks to Lu Yu for being here and doing such a great job.

You know, the awakening of the martial soul is a big deal. Every year when the martial soul awakens, the children's parents can't help but come over to find out what's going on. Everyone hopes that their child's martial soul can be more outstanding.

They will be able to become a real soul master in the future, but now it is almost noon and everyone is busy receiving tourists. If they are suddenly replaced, there will be no one who can take their place for a while.

Then there will inevitably be fewer people serving tourists. The village's business has just started. If poor hospitality gives people a bad impression of the Holy Soul Village, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of their village.

On the other hand, these parents had not received any prior notice and would definitely panic when they suddenly heard that their children needed to awaken their martial spirits.
