Chapter 272: Chapter 256: Finally Escaped, Will He Marry the Jade Girl? Wife’s Inquiry, Whence the Heavy Pupils

Unexpectedly discovered "thirteen taels of silver." Truly a pleasant surprise. Li Xian said, "Madam, with this silver, we can have a hearty meal once we’re out!"

Wen Caishang smiled gently, feeling equally delighted.

Afterwards, there were waist tokens, jade pendants, and other items. Li Xian took whatever seemed necessary, throwing three sets of clothes into the creek, diligently scrubbing them clean of dirt. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Wen Caishang didn’t want to wear someone else’s clothes; though her white dress was torn, it could still last a few more days.

The two of them sorted everything out.

After another two days of traveling, the sun slanted through the forest, warm and gentle. As they stepped out of Tiger Cry Ridge, a clear breeze blew, making them feel reborn.

It was already mid to late April, a time of vibrant spring. Li Xian felt a surge of happiness and excitement. No matter the obstacles, they could not dampen his spirit. His unmatched charm was evident.

Wen Caishang, with her extensive Jianghu experience, had countless exceptional suitors in the past. Among them were well-born individuals, powerful figures, and elites from top sects... she was unimpressed by all. If it was about potential and talent, some were indeed strong.

But none could win her over.

Witnessing Li Xian’s complete presence, his Perfect Appearance was already a rare talent, and coupled with his Heavy Pupil Appearance... If he learned that Martial Arts, with the combination of ’Martial Arts’ and ’Rebirth Appearance,’ who in the world could match? She couldn’t help but compare everyone she encountered with Li Xian.

She recalled Li Xian’s rise from a servant, to Nursing Home, to Nursing Home Commander, to Military Officer... gradually gaining power. Previously it didn’t seem much, but looking back now, it was truly remarkable.

She couldn’t help but watch him for a long time, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing. She murmured, "If I had known this brat would make a mess of me like this, I wouldn’t have nurtured you in the first place. But then again, if I hadn’t nurtured you, how would I have survived this tribulation. I... I may be out of danger, but I don’t know why my heart is in such turmoil... extremely chaotic."

The frustration was overwhelming, a feeling hard to express.

It was already noon.

Li Xian saw a dirt road and followed it. By evening, they reached a peaceful mountain village, with smoke curling up into the sky. They encountered an old man carrying firewood, humming a mountain song while heading home.

Li Xian took the opportunity to chat, spending ten copper coins to arrange for a night’s stay in the woodshed. In the woodshed, the old man helped lay out a grass mat, where Li Xian and Wen Caishang lay down.

They both felt fortunate, with no other wishes in that moment.

Li Xian pulled Wen Caishang close and said, "Madam, do you know of a force called ’Yellow Talisman Mountain’?"

Wen Caishang said, "Why are you asking this? Your hands are restless, you need a beating!" She lightly slapped Li Xian’s hand away. Yet, this troublesome and flirtatious gesture somehow eased her frustration a bit.

Li Xian said, "I’m just asking."

Wen Caishang said, "Yellow Talisman Mountain... I do know, but it’s no longer called Yellow Talisman Mountain now."

"What’s it called?" Li Xian asked.

Wen Caishang said, "Yellow Talisman Mountain is an ancient force, having survived the rise and fall of dynasties, remaining strong. Such a force naturally has its strengths."

"During the Great Yu Period... Yellow Talisman Mountain underwent a significant transformation. This event is quite famous, and after the transformation, Yellow Talisman Mountain was renamed to..."

"Daoxuan Mountain."

"Daoxuan Mountain?" Li Xian vaguely recalled hearing about it.

Wen Caishang said, "Yes! Daoxuan Mountain perfectly refined its Martial Arts, maintaining its lineage for thousands of years with deep roots beyond imagination."

"This sect is greatly favored by the heavens, producing a ’Golden Boy’ and ’Jade Girl’ every thousand years, leading Daoxuan Mountain to its peak."

Li Xian asked, "Golden Boy and Jade Girl? Are they very powerful?"

Wen Caishang flashed a proud look and said, "Powerful, indeed. Appearing once in a millennium, they are unrivaled upon emerging. And in your generation, there happens to be a Golden Boy and Jade Girl. Calculating their age... they’re a few years older than you."

Li Xian thought, "Admiring the natural gifts of the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, yet they have nothing to do with me. I might as well ask about things related to me." He said, "Is there a Zhao family lineage within Daoxuan Mountain?"

Wen Caishang said, "You brat gained quite some knowledge after your trip to the ancient tomb. Daoxuan Mountain indeed has a Zhao family lineage, which is also the Jade Girl lineage."

"The current Jade Girl belongs to the Zhao family."

Wen Caishang gently combed her long hair, the moonlight shining, highlighting her elegant figure. She said, "What... are you coveting the Jade Girl? With your talent, you might make her look at you differently."

Li Xian suddenly felt a chill, sensing a faint intention to kill: "Madam is joking, I’m just curious."

Wen Caishang said lightly, "Alright, you’ve finished asking me, now it’s my turn to ask you."

Her waist like a water snake, her black hair fragrant as it seemed to coil upwards. Her eyes appeared sorrowful yet fretful, resentful yet coy, softly saying, "Li Lang, you kept your Heavy Pupils so well-hidden from me..."
