Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 892: Finding the Village

Xia Xin hesitated, feeling a bit uneasy, "Ancestor, have you forgotten many things?"

Jiangli replied with a faint "hmm" and continued walking forward, his expression unchanged, as if he didn’t mind forgetting those things.

Xia Xin felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Despite the people around Jiangli now, Xia Xin always felt that the ancestor seemed to be forever alone, walking solitarily through deep and long years.

As Xia Xin was thinking, Fu Shiyan suddenly said while following Jiangli, "The scenery here is quite nice."

Jiangli paused for a second, seemingly surprised by Fu Shiyan’s sudden change of topic, then replied after a while, "Indeed, it’s a place of natural beauty and charm."

Fu Shiyan smiled faintly, "Yes, if you simply come for sightseeing, it’s a good choice."

Jiangli nodded.

Fu Shiyan joked, "If there’s a chance, how about next time Lili comes to travel with me?"

Jiangli chuckled softly, "If there’s really a chance, we’ll talk about it then. But if there is, we can choose an even better place to travel."

Fu Shiyan’s expression became serious, as if contemplating Jiangli’s words, and nodded, "You’re right, next time we’ll find a better place."

Jiangli smiled, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Fu Shiyan walked alongside Jiangli, the distance between them so close that it seemed like no one else should be there.

Xia Xin saw this scene, paused for a moment, and then smiled.

Yan Guofeng saw him suddenly quite happy, confused, but most of the people here he didn’t know, so inevitably he felt a bit restrained, afraid to say much.

The group followed behind Jiangli and Fu Shiyan and soon arrived at a village halfway up the mountain.

A row of small buildings built along the mountain, one after another, the roads inside the village were better, seeming to be paved with irregular blue stones.

A small stream meanders down the mountain path, flowing through in front of each row of small buildings.

Visible at a glance, a vibrant green spread throughout.

The air seemed a lot fresher.

When Jiangli and the others reached the village entrance, there were villagers wearing distinctive clothing washing clothes by the creek.

Seeing people approaching, those villagers showed wary and fearful expressions.

Jiangli glanced around and signaled to Xia Xin with a look.

Xia Xin, quite perceptive, walked up and greeted the villagers with a smile, "Aunties, we’re here for a tour. Is there any place in the village where we can stay?"

Upon hearing they were tourists, the villagers’ expressions showed a slight peculiarity.

They examined Xia Xin and the others, quickly shifting their gazes when it landed on Jiangli.

After a while, a slightly older villager spoke, "There is, inside the village, at the village chief’s house, you can stay. Go find the village chief..."

Her Mandarin was heavily accented, making it difficult for everyone to understand.

Xia Xin smoothly asked, "Where is the village chief’s house?"

The villager pointed inside, "Walk in, go to the end, the pretty house there is the village chief’s home."

Xia Xin looked in the direction she pointed and saw a rather tall small building in the distance.

Xia Xin nodded, "Thank you, Auntie, we’ll head in first."

The villagers nodded, seeming reluctant to engage in further conversation.

Xia Xin returned to inform Jiangli.

Then Jiangli, Fu Shiyan, and the others entered the village.

After they entered, the villagers secretly checked them out, unclear on what they were looking at.

Jiangli casually glanced back and noticed the villagers quickly averting their eyes, fearful of meeting hers.

Jiangli furrowed her brow.
