Chapter 201: Finally Back in the Village

Zhou Yanli raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

"Yuan Canghai, isn't it just that you want to kill Xiao Moting?"

"His fate was meant to end long ago, yet he has lived until now."

Yuan Canghai was overjoyed and rubbed his hands together, "Then... I will do as the National Preceptor wishes. When the Beijiang Army is defeated, I will cut down Xiao Moting with one stroke; it will also count as avenging my nephew Xiao Rui! I..."

Zhou Yanli interrupted, "Leave Xiao Moting to you; I want the Goddess who is by his side."

"Lord National Preceptor, you want that woman?" Yuan Canghai was startled, his expression puzzled, "Isn't she just a woman who plays at being a god? I thought she was Xiao Moting's old flame, and he brought her to the military camp under the guise of her being a Goddess to facilitate his debauchery in broad daylight..."

Zhou Yanli spoke slowly.

"That woman has a gun in her hand; it is an item from the Treasure Vault of the Divine Witch Tribe. She stole many things from the vault and gave them to Xiao Moting. These items can reverse destiny, which is why she is revered as a Goddess."

"The Treasure Vault of the Divine Witch Tribe?!" Yuan Canghai's eyes suddenly lit up, "I have also heard this legend. It is said that the Divine Witch Tribe has a treasure vault containing many treasures bestowed by the gods. I never expected this legend to be true!"

A trace of intense greed flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.

"I wonder where this Divine Witch Tribe treasure vault is located? If only I could get the things inside the vault!"

Zhou Yanli snorted coldly, "You covet the things in the vault too? Do you know that the Divine Witch Tribe has a prophecy stating that the items in the vault violate the Dao and are objects that do not belong to this era, so any tribesman is forbidden from taking them? Anyone who steals the treasures will not meet a good end."

On the shoulder of his pristine white robe, blood had seeped through the gauze, like dots of red plum blossoms on snow.

Yuan Canghai chuckled dryly, "What is a prophecy? It's all just talk. The Divine Witch Tribe was so powerful, yet they were still ordered to be exterminated by the Great Ancestor Emperor over twenty years ago."

"I heard that at the time, the people of the Divine Witch Tribe hid in a cave, trying to escape the pursuit of the government troops. The Great Ancestor Emperor feared the magical artifacts in their hands, so he ordered the cave entrance to be blocked and the mountain set on fire."

"The fire burned for three days and three nights. The entire Wushan was burned until not even a blade of grass remained. The people in the cave were like mice trapped in a steamer, all roasted alive... Hundreds of men, women, and children of the entire tribe, not a single survivor was left."

"The most ridiculous thing is that when these tribesmen were dying, they all huddled in a circle, shielding a young child in the middle, trying to protect him with their bodies, saying this child was some Great Diviner. With such a massive fire, how could flesh and blood block it? They were truly a bunch of fools..."

He was speaking happily when he caught a glimpse of Zhou Yanli's icy, intimidating gaze, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Yuan Canghai scratched his head in embarrassment, thought for a moment, and spoke cautiously.

"Lord National Preceptor, I heard that you used to live near Wushan and have the ability to predict the will of heaven. You... you wouldn't happen to be from the Divine Witch Tribe, would you..."

"The Divine Witch Tribe is already extinct; not a single living person remains. Their entire tribe were sinners. If any remnants of the tribe were still alive, they would be executed and their homes confiscated if caught." Zhou Yanli's voice was cold and indifferent, "I lived in a village near Wushan; what did you think I was?"

Yuan Canghai was quite in awe of him and hurriedly made a gesture of slapping himself.

"Look at this mouth of mine, it loves to spout nonsense! I was just asking casually. I have offended you, please forgive me, Lord National Preceptor."

"Go down. Find out where Yang Tianhu has reached and make preparations early. The Beijiang Army is not so easy to deal with."

"Understood, I will go inquire right away! When the time comes, I will kill Xiao Moting, capture the fake Goddess by his side, and torture her to force her to reveal the location of the treasure vault!"

After speaking, Yuan Canghai turned and left.

Zhou Yanli closed his eyes, let out a slight breath, and a look of irony appeared on his face.

"Great Diviner... it has been such a long time since I heard that title."

At noon.

The car arrived at the entrance of Qingshan Village.

"Finally home!"

Bai Wei pulled open the car window, took a deep, intoxicated breath of the country air, and felt refreshed all over!

The breeze blowing toward her carried the fragrance of crops!

It was the scent of home!

Having been away from Qingshan Village for so long and staying in bustling Yanjing for quite a while, she had long wanted to return to the village.

The driver uncle said with a smile, "Bai, now that you are home, my mission is complete. I am heading back to Yanjing now."

"Uncle, since you're here, why not rest for two days before heading back?" Bai Wei hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

"No need, no need." The uncle waved his hand with a smile, "I drove you here, and Young Master Zhou is going to give me a bonus! I'm in a hurry to go back and collect the money."

"Then... wait a moment, I'll get you some local specialties from the village, free-range chickens and ducks, so you can take them back to eat!" Bai Wei quickly took out her phone, preparing to call Chen Ming to have him buy some chickens and ducks from the villagers.

There were many families in the village who raised chickens and ducks, never feeding them commercial feed, so the meat was exceptionally fragrant.

The driver uncle had driven for two full days just to get her back to the village, and there were two bodyguard cars following behind; they had escorted her all this way back to the village, and now they were leaving without even drinking a sip of water, which made Bai Wei feel very bad.

The uncle laughed, "We appreciate your kindness, Bai! It's not just me; they have bonuses too!"

After speaking, he held up two fingers and shook them.

"It's this much, so we didn't lose out on this trip!"

Bai Wei took a look and couldn't help but click her tongue.

As expected of the wealthy second young master who would inherit the family fortune, Zhou Yuchuan was generous with money.

The driver and his group said goodbye to Bai Wei and drove out of the village.

Bai Wei turned around, preparing to return to the Farm.

She had been away from the village for a week, leaving only Chen Ming to guard the Farm, so she had to go back and check on the situation.

Just as she took a step, she suddenly heard Zhang Shen's voice in her ear.

"Hey, Xiao Wei, you're finally back in the village."

Bai Wei turned her head, saw Zhang Shen, and nodded.

Zhang Shen panted, holding a vegetable basket as she ran over, calling out repeatedly.

"Everyone in the village has been looking forward to your return. Once you left, there was no one to collect the vegetables in the village. Everyone was waiting for you to come back so they could sell their vegetables to you."

"Everyone is used to selling vegetables to you; the price is fair and it's convenient, unlike those vegetable peddlers in the city who are picky and keep trying to drive the price down!"

Bai Wei pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright, I will start collecting vegetables as soon as I get back."

When she left, she had sent all the vegetables in the Warehouse to Xiao Moting.

Now, calculating the time, the Beijiang Army must have finished eating those vegetables, so it was just the right time to collect a batch of fresh vegetables and send them over.

Zhang Shen scratched her head, "I heard you went to the big city to attend some exhibition. Was the exhibition good?"

"It looks good." Bai Wei nodded with a smile, not saying anything more.

For the people in the village, an Antique Exhibition was considered a rarity.

The villagers were not interested in the Antique Exhibition, and since they did not usually pay attention to such news, it was normal that Zhang Shen, who spent her time farming and either doing housework or feeding the chickens and ducks in her spare time, did not know what had happened to her in Yanjing.

From far away, the village chief's shouting could be heard.

"Bai Wei, you're back?"

"The Vegetable Base is finished, come take a look."

Bai Wei's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over.

This was the large-scale Vegetable Base she had invested one hundred million into, all utilizing modern planting technology.

From now on, once the vegetables were grown, they could not only be sent to the Beijiang Army to eat, but the remaining vegetables could also be sold across the country.
