Chapter 29

The old man laughed heartily and walked in front.

“Yo, Old Li, are you getting ready to go to the fields?”

Passing villagers greeted Old Li one after another.

“Yeah, the one at home is pregnant, I have to work harder, after all, there will be one more person to feed at home next year.”

Old Li looked very happy.

“Wow! Didn't expect that, having a child in your old age, Old Li.”

“What do you call this at the Immortal’s place? Ah right! You’re still strong in your old age!”

“You have to set up a good table in a few months!”

The surrounding villagers laughed and said, and Old Li was also very happy.

“Done! Everyone come then! Plenty of food!”

Morax and the others followed quietly behind, watching this group of people chat with smiles on their faces.

They could hear the meaning of happiness from the mouths of these people.

“Oh my, sorry, sorry, I was too happy and just kept chatting.”

After chatting for a while, Old Li suddenly remembered the few young people following behind and quickly apologized to them.

“It doesn't matter, it’s a happy occasion, it should be celebrated!”

Morax and the others didn't mind.

“Hahaha, young people really do speak nicely!”

Old Li was very happy and introduced things to Morax and the others.

“Look at the fields over there, those are the new fields planned by the Immortal in the last two months; I heard that the grain produced there is twice as high as that produced in other fields.”

Everyone looked in the direction Old Li pointed and indeed discovered the difference.

The rice in those fields was much larger than in the other fields.

“This side is the breeding area...”

“And the plantation over here...”

Along the way, Old Li kept introducing things to everyone.

“Eh, old man, what is that over there?”

Morax pointed in another direction, and they saw a group of people constantly churning something from the ground.

“Ah... that!”

“That’s something the Immortal newly researched; I heard it’s used for building roads.”

Old Li said with a smile.

“Listening to the Immortal, it can make the road very flat and very hard!”

Morax and the several Immortals looked at each other.

This kid Jiang Yan!

He is definitely still hiding something from us!

Morax and the others spent the entire morning wandering around Qingce Village.

It could be said that they had seen Qingce Village inside and out.

“You really have to say, little Jiang Yan has something in terms of governance.”

At noon, the group sat under a big tree to cool off, and Mountain Shaper said.

“Hmph, not bad!”

Even the usually tsundere Cloud Retainer gave a good evaluation.

“Alright, let’s rest for a while and then go find him.”

Morax looked at the people working around them.

“This kid hasn't appeared all morning, I don’t know what he’s doing.”

Just as Morax and the others were resting, a noisy sound rang out.

“The Immortal is here!”

“Immortal! Come here, my wife just made pork knuckles today! Let’s eat together!”

Morax and the Immortals beside him looked in the direction of the sound.

A silver-haired young man was squatting by the rice field with a rice bowl, eating and chatting kindly with these villagers.

A scene of harmony.

“My Lord Immortal!”

Old Li, who had taken Morax and the others around Guili Plains earlier, walked up with a smile to greet him.

“Yo, isn’t this Old Li? I heard from them that your wife is pregnant?”

Jiang Yan looked at Old Li, who was walking over, and asked.

“Oh my, you already knew!”

Old Li, who looked like a little old man, was actually a bit shy in front of Jiang Yan.

“What is there that I can’t know? This is a good thing!”

Jiang Yan shoveled a mouthful of food and muttered:

“Remember to call me when it’s born, I have to give a gift.”

“Oh! You can’t do that, My Lord Immortal!”

Old Li was shocked: “I’m already burning high incense that you can come; what would it look like to let you give a gift!”

“Besides, without you, this child might not even be born; you just coming is enough!”

“Go, go, go, what are you saying.”

Jiang Yan waved his hand and said with a laugh: “It’s like I wouldn't eat your food after giving the gift; giving a gift is for the joy of it!”

“We’ll talk about it then, we’ll talk about it then!”

Old Li laughed, then remembered something and said to Jiang Yan:

“By the way, a few strangers came today; seeing them looking around, I took them around the village.”

“Strangers? Where?”

Jiang Yan looked up from his rice bowl in confusion.

“There, sitting under that tree.”

Jiang Yan looked in the direction of Old Li’s finger and saw Morax and the others sitting in the shade, smiling and waving at him.

“Clatter...”

Jiang Yan was so shocked that the rice bowl in his hand fell to the ground.

“Em... Emperor?!”

The surrounding people fell into silence for a moment, blankly watching Jiang Yan walk over.

After a long time, one of them muttered: “Just... just now, what did the Immortal call him?”

“Em... Emperor?!”

“The only one who can be called Emperor by the Immortal is...”

The crowd of people gradually opened their mouths wide.

Old Li stood frozen in place, his brain buzzing.

Just... just now...

I called the Emperor little brother...

And took... the Emperor around here...

That is the Emperor who governs the Immortal...

“Uh...”

Old Li only felt his blood rushing up, and he almost fainted, quickly sitting on the ground.

And Jiang Yan walked up to Morax in the astonished gaze of the people around him.

“Why didn't you come find me first when you arrived?”

Jiang Yan sat on the ground next to Morax.

“Just arrived in Qingce Village, so I planned to look around first.”

Morax said with a smile, while looking at the bowl in Jiang Yan’s hand.

“You are...”

“Ah, you mean this!”

Jiang Yan looked at the rice bowl in his hand and explained:

“I wasn't doing anything at noon, so I just came to the rice field to eat with them.”

“Where is Ganyu?”

Cloud Retainer on the side asked.

“Her? She should be taking a nap at this time.”

Jiang Yan said while shoveling a mouthful of rice.

He hadn't finished eating yet; food shouldn't be wasted.

“Have you eaten? If not, I’ll go get you some food.”

Jiang Yan muttered while eating.

“We aren't hungry, we ate quite late this morning.”

Morax said: “You eat, we have many things to ask.”

Jiang Yan nodded, then looked at the surrounding people who were shocked and happy, wanting to come forward but not daring to.

Helplessly, Jiang Yan said to Morax and the others: “Follow me.”

“It’s too eye-catching here, I’m embarrassed to eat.”

After speaking, he walked up and said to the surrounding people:

“Fellow villagers, wait at the Declaration Square after you finish eating; I’ll bring the Emperor over in a while.”

“Everyone notify your families.”

The surrounding people nodded.

After Jiang Yan finished giving instructions, he said to Morax: “Let’s go.”

Morax and the others looked at each other and followed.
