Chapter 727: Heart-to-heart talk, the village chief's past

Listening to the village chief's words, it seemed that he knew a lot about cultivation, but from Ye Chen's understanding, this village chief was indeed a mortal, and he had never felt any aura from him. fluctuation.

"That day on the mountain, there was thunder in the clear sky, but I saw you before Xue'er. However, when I saw that you were covered with injuries, I guessed that you might have been killed by your enemies. If I took action rashly, I was afraid that I would be implicated. Among them. But after seeing Xiaoxue, she begged hard. Although I had doubts in my heart, I couldn't let Xiaoxue develop a cold-blooded nature in the future, so I brought you back. "

"I see that most of the injuries on your body are internal injuries, but the outer skin is almost unharmed. I also know that you are a physically strong practitioner, so I simply used elixirs as a supplement to let you repair yourself. I expected that in just a few days, your injuries would be much better and you could even get off the ground and walk, which also surprised me."

"As far as I'm concerned, most of the powerful people in the realm of the Great Emperor don't have the ability to recover like you. However, your meridians are indeed damaged, so it makes sense that you can't feel your realm."

The village chief sighed and said, "Who are you?"

Having said this, Ye Chen no longer concealed anything. He just told the story of how he was transported by the mysterious box that day. Of course, he didn't mention any of his secrets.

After the village chief heard this, although he was a little shocked, he seemed to already believe it.

"Village chief, don't you doubt me?"

"So what if I have doubts? Besides, I haven't opened my mouth for these days, and I already know it in my heart. Your character is not like the monks here, nor is it like a mortal. There is something different in your behavior and speech. I used to think that I was worrying too much, but now it seems that my feeling is correct.”

Ye Chen nodded slowly. He didn't expect that his identity had aroused the suspicion of the village chief some time ago, but the other party didn't tell him about it, so he still gave him face.

The village chief then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Although you are not from this world, as long as you are not a treacherous and evil person, and you have not caused any huge harm, I can allow you to continue to stay." In the village.”

What the village chief is most worried about is that Ye Chen provoked some powerful enemy and was chased there with injuries all over his body. If this is the case, the village chief will definitely not be able to stay after he finds out. If he can save Ye Chen's life was already his biggest bottom line, and it was absolutely impossible to involve the village.

Ye Chen also nodded slightly. He did not disagree with the village chief's approach. If he were himself, he would do the same.

"I also don't understand something." Ye Chen said.

However, the village chief seemed to have already pointed it out and said with a smile: "Are you curious about my identity?"

"That's right!" Ye Chen said calmly without any hesitation: "Since you, village chief, have known it so many times, it means that you are definitely not just an ordinary mortal. And according to the villagers, you have always been a In the village, you have never been out anywhere. In addition, although Xiaoxue is said to be talented and intelligent, there are no traces of cultivation. This can only mean that you, village chief, were definitely not ordinary people when you were young, right? "

When the village chief heard this, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She didn't expect that Ye Chen could detect so much just based on the information in the past few days.

However, he also knew that Ye Chen had no ill intentions, so he simply said: "You are right. In fact, I am much older than this. When I was young, I left the village and took the college exam. , and eventually became an outer disciple of the college and left the village."

"Later, I was lucky enough to be promoted and practice step by step. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed in this world. I quit practicing because of something, and then I returned to the village. But unfortunately, my relatives back then have long since changed. It has become a pile of loess, and only my little nephew who was there when I left is still alive and recognizes me.”

It was only then that I suddenly realized that the old man who the villagers said recognized the village chief was actually just a child when the village chief left the village. After recognizing the village chief and knowing that he was definitely not malicious, he She told such a lie on his behalf, making everyone think that he was just a man from the village who left home when he was young and returned to his old age.

The alchemy skills mastered by the village chief also enabled him to cure most injuries and illnesses. The villagers, who had little experience and knowledge, naturally did not know the secret of this. They only thought that the village chief's magic rejuvenation made them trust him more and more.

"There is nothing secret about my affairs. I just don't want everyone in the village to be surprised. The road to immortality is not something that ordinary people can walk. People with weak minds like me will return halfway. , but in the end I found that I had wasted my life in vain, and in the end I didn’t even have a chance to say a word to my relatives, so I still have a hundred years of life, but in the end it was just a wasted life.”

Seeing the village chief's sincere words, Ye Chen couldn't help but get choked up. Maybe this is the reason why Xiaoxue has good qualifications but has no practice.

"But you kid actually said it out loud, so there is no barrier between us now. As long as you are willing, you can stay in the village forever." The village chief patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said with some ill intentions: "Although you don't have spiritual energy now, your body is still very strong, and you are several times better than ordinary people in doing farm work. It can be said that I am quite satisfied. It is not impossible to introduce you to a girl in the future!"

Although the village chief's words were just a joke, it also showed the village chief's good intentions towards Ye Chen now. Ye Chen naturally couldn't ignore it, and hurriedly nodded with a smile, but let's forget about introducing a girl.

Just when the two were talking and laughing, they did hear noisy footsteps coming from outside the door.

The village chief's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly, saying, "You dare to walk so arrogantly in the village ancestral hall. You really have no respect for the law. I have to tell you which family this kid is from. I have to have a good talk with him."

Just when the village chief was about to go out and bring the person outside in, he saw the door of the ancestral hall being pushed open. Then, a man dressed like a farmer rushed in. He seemed to be a little panicked, and he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Village, village chief! Something bad has happened!"
