Chapter 232

~7 min read 1,291 words

The imperial family's encirclement was gradually shrinking.

And the speed of this shrinking came later than He Pingsheng imagined.

A full month passed before three cultivators finally came to these desolate mountains.

Three sword lights stopped in the void.

He Pingsheng, Seeing Qiao Huizhu, the young girl, and the old man all looked up.

He Pingsheng didn't dare to scan with spiritual sense, naturally he didn't know the cultivation bases of these three people, but since the other party could fly on a sword, they were undoubtedly Foundation Establishment Stage without a doubt.

"It's really strange!"

One of the cultivators said: "This mountain is desolate and uninhabited, why do a few mortals live here?"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The three landed one after another.

After these three landed on the ground, He Pingsheng saw the people clearly.

Two men, one woman.

Plop...

He Pingsheng was the first to kneel on the ground: "Im... Immortal Master... seen the Immortal Master!"

After speaking, he turned his head abruptly to look at the other three and said: "Why don't you kneel down quickly?"

Behind, the old man, the young girl, and Seeing Qiao Huizhu also knelt down in a hurry, even somewhat flustered.

"What is your name!" The female cultivator drew the treasure sword from her waist and walked straight toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng "scared" jumped up from the ground and ran.

The female cultivator instantly laughed: "Why are you running, I'm not killing you!"

"Come over, I have something to ask you!"

"Hey hey hey..." He Pingsheng had a fearful and shrinking appearance, then walked carefully to the female cultivator's side and asked: "Fe... Immortal Master..."

The woman didn't wait for He Pingsheng to finish speaking and said: "Call me Immortal Biyun Xianzi!"

"Hey... Immortal Biyun Xianzi!"

"Immortal Biyun Xianzi Master, please ask!"

The woman seemed to be amused by He Pingsheng's "Immortal Biyun Xianzi Master" and said: "Country bumpkin, no knowledge!"

"Forget it, I'll ask you a few questions!"

"What is your name?"

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and said: "Cheng Xifeng!"

This was not a randomly made-up name, but the name of the old man's deceased son.

"Good..." The female immortal asked again: "Are you all one family?"

She looked at the people behind.

He Pingsheng hurriedly said: "Yes... the one behind is my father, my daughter, and my wife..."

"You..." The female cultivator reached out and pointed at the young girl again: "You come over and answer..."

The young girl remained motionless.

The female cultivator's brow furrowed instantly, and sharp light appeared in her eyes.

He Pingsheng hurriedly said: "Immortal Biyun Xianzi, calm your anger... this is the girl in our family... the girl has been a deaf-mute since birth... she can't hear what you are saying!"

"Deaf-mute?"

Boom...

The female immortal's spiritual sense boomed out, enveloping the young girl.

For cultivators, they could easily see through deaf-mute people.

Because deaf-mute people have incomplete six senses, when spiritual sense scans over, there will be a special feedback.

So when this female cultivator scanned the girl, she nodded and said: "It's true that she is a deaf-mute!"

"Cheng Xifeng, right..."

"Why is your family farming in such a remote place?"

"Is your family the only one here?"

He Pingsheng said: "Yes... our family is the only one nearby!"

"It's more than thirty li of mountain road from here to the town, but it's quiet here!"

The female immortal asked: "Are you not afraid of the wild beasts in these mountains?"

He Pingsheng shook his head, "Wild beasts are not as scary as people... we are not afraid of wild beasts!"

"Hehehe..." The female cultivator laughed and said: "You actually understand some simple principles!"

Then she asked a few more sentences and didn't continue asking.

Instead, she turned around and looked at the two male cultivators behind her: "All four are mortals, it seems there is no problem!"

"But it feels quite weird that their family is farming in these mountains!"

"Better to ask Master to come and identify them!"

The female cultivator sent out a light.

In less than ten breaths of time, another escape light flew from the horizon.

Then it landed above the thatched cottage and hovered there.

He Pingsheng and the four knelt on the ground again.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, he didn't know the cultivation base.

The female cultivator stepped forward and told the man about the situation here.

The man's spiritual sense boomed open, scraped across He Pingsheng and the four, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

After about half an incense stick of time, he nodded and said: "No problem!"

The female cultivator said: "Master, but their family is farming in these mountains, it's too strange!"

"Nothing strange!" The male cultivator took a deep breath and said: "When I was young, I came from the mountains, and I know this kind of situation like the back of my hand!"

"Look at this field, it looks simple, but it has been farmed for decades to become like this; if it were newly opened, it definitely wouldn't be like this!"

"Also, these crops are about to mature!"

"That guy only escaped a month ago, how could he grow crops that are about to mature?"

"Also, these two oxen!"

"The large stone roller around, this stone roller is polished smooth and round, without decades of effort, it couldn't become this shape!"

"That well!"

"None of them could be built casually!"

"Also these thatched cottages!" The man pointed at the thatched cottages casually: "The thatched cottages are dilapidated, showing at least decades of time!"

"But broken without leaking, showing that they are often taken care of, and people live there often!"

"I just looked, all four of them are mortals without any cultivation base!"

"Let's go!"

After the Golden Core Stage cultivator analyzed it, the four turned into flowing light and left.

After they left a sufficient distance, He Pingsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief slowly.

The old man said happily: "Little brother... we passed the test..."

He Pingsheng said softly: "Old man, don't be happy too early, let's be like before, I'm afraid they will return!"

Finally, that Golden Core Stage cultivator didn't return.

But whether he used spiritual sense to scan secretly outside, He Pingsheng didn't know.

The key was that he didn't dare to use spiritual sense casually either.

Thus, he could only continue to pretend to live here.

Unknowingly, another month passed, He Pingsheng felt it should be safe, only then did he scan with spiritual sense to check the situation around.

Taking advantage of the night, he flew into the night sky again, searched within a range of dozens of li around the mountains, and didn't encounter any cultivators.

In this way, it was considered safe.

"Passed the test!" He Pingsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the old man and said: "Old man, thank you for helping us this time!"

"I will fulfill my promise and let your granddaughter's deaf and mute recover!"

Deaf and mute, deaf and mute!

Actually, it was just deaf.

Because she was deaf from a young age, she couldn't hear the sounds outside, so they couldn't learn to speak, and after growing up, they naturally became deaf-mutes.

Curing the deaf and mute of ordinary mortals is not difficult.

For cultivators, the deaf and mute of ordinary people are generally caused by innate deficiency.

Innate deficiency, then supplement the innate.

The immortal cultivation world has a first-tier pill called 【Supplementing Origin Pill】, which can supplement innate deficiency after swallowing. Once the innate deficiency is supplemented, the girl will be able to hear slowly in the future.

Once she can hear, she will slowly learn to speak in the future.
