Chapter 86 The Destruction of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion
After being praised like that, Yunxi became even more shy, and the two red clouds on her cheeks never went down: "Auntie, you are too kind. I... I am actually not that good."
Shi Linhu watched from the side, his heart filled with joy: "Young lady, don't be modest. The people of Shi Village have discerning eyes; we've all seen how good you are!"
As he spoke, Shi Linhu burst into laughter, his voice hearty and full of joy.
After Shi Linhu said that, Yunxi became even more embarrassed. She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently, as if a butterfly was about to take flight.
"Yunxi, come here, come to your aunt's house, I'll cook you something delicious."
Seeing this, Shi An's mother knew she couldn't push the child too hard, so she immediately reached out and took Yun Xi's hand, and they walked towards her home.
"Huh? This...?"
Suddenly pulled, Yunxi was startled, but for some reason, she did not resist and let the other person pull her towards a house.
Seeing this, Shi An couldn't help but shake his head and smile, but he didn't stop them. Instead, he lifted his foot and followed in their footsteps.
Soon, Yunxi arrived at Shi An's home, led by the Shi family.
As soon as they got home, the two elders started busying themselves, one preparing the meal and the other tidying up the room.
Seeing the two busy people, Yunxi wanted to help, but they stopped her and told her to just sit still.
In the end, Yunxi had no choice but to sit down in the hall and talk with Shi An's younger sister, Hu Niu.
"Sister, let me tell you something, my brother..."
"Really? I can't believe it..."
Thus, through Hu Niu's revelation, Yun Xi gained a full understanding of Shi An's glorious deeds in his youth.
"Chicken soup is here!"
After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by Shi Linhu's hearty voice, a pot of steaming chicken soup was brought to the table, its aroma instantly filling the entire room and making one's mouth water.
Yunxi was drawn by the sudden aroma and looked up at the bowl of chicken soup, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Eight Treasures Chicken?!"
She never expected to find such delicious food in this remote little village.
Even on the ancient and sacred Tian Shen Mountain, the Eight Treasures Chicken is extremely rare, with only one or two pairs available. Yet here, it's being used to entertain her.
How could this not surprise Yunxi?
"Yunxi, come and try the chicken soup your auntie made, see if it suits your taste."
But just then, a rather enthusiastic voice suddenly entered her ears, bringing her back to her senses.
Yunxi looked down and found a bowl of steaming chicken soup placed in front of her.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Seeing this, Yunxi couldn't refuse, so she could only say it softly, then picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"Hmm~"
After taking a bite, Yunxi's eyes lit up.
As expected of chicken soup made from Eight Treasures Chicken, it was incredibly delicious, with an indescribable rich aroma that even she couldn't help but feel a surge of appetite.
After calming her thoughts, Yunxi turned to look at Shi An's mother, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude: "Thank you, Auntie. The chicken soup you made is delicious, even better than what I drink at home."
Upon hearing this, Shi An's mother's face immediately lit up with a smile: "As long as it tastes good, as long as it tastes good! If you like it, Auntie will make it for you every day from now on."
Even while they were talking, he kept putting food into Yunxi's bowl, as if afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat, completely forgetting about his children beside him.
"My mother is really something!"
Seeing that her mother only had eyes for the older sister her brother brought back, Little Tiger Girl couldn't help but pout, but there was no dissatisfaction in her eyes, instead, she was all smiles.
Seeing this, Shi An knew that no matter what he said at this time, his parents would not listen, so he had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Before long, the dinner party ended, and Yunxi, accompanied by Shi An's family, strolled around the village.
She witnessed the daily lives of the people in Shicun and felt their diligence and optimism. Whether it was the villagers working in the fields or the children playing at the village entrance, she felt a unique warmth from them.
Before they knew it, night fell, and Stone Village was enveloped in tranquility.
Yunxi was placed in a clean and tidy guest room. Through the window, she could see the stars in the sky, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
"How...how did those two brothers get out of here?"
Filled with doubt, Yunxi gently pushed open the door, leaped onto the roof, and quietly observed the small village under the cover of night.
"That is..."
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into her view.
"Is he cultivating?"
Looking at the figure sitting quietly under the willow tree, Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Should we go over and take a look...?"
After much deliberation, Yunxi finally leaped lightly off the roof and approached silently, afraid of disturbing Shi An's cultivation.
Before long, she also arrived under the willow tree, but she did not disturb him. After observing him for a while, she found a spot not far from Shi An and sat down quietly, her gaze sometimes falling on him and sometimes looking at the deep night sky in the distance.
A gentle night breeze, carrying a hint of coolness yet exceptionally refreshing, seemed to dispel all worries from one's heart.
Yunxi took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Time passed little by little, and two more months went by in the cycle of days and months.
In the past two months, Yunxi has settled down in Shi Village. Sometimes she talks with the women in the village, sometimes she cultivates with Shi An, and sometimes she even goes deep into the Great Wilderness with him to fight against the wild beasts and increase her combat experience.
Until a slightly disheveled figure appeared in the village.
"Little brother, you're back."
Looking at Shi Hao's dejected expression, Shi An quickly realized that the Butian Pavilion must have been destroyed.
While pondering, Shi An slowly stepped forward, gently patted the other's shoulder, and said, "Little brother, you don't look like yourself at all right now!"
"elder brother········"
Listening to Shi An's words and feeling the care and encouragement in them, Shi Hao's mood calmed down a little.
He looked up at Shi An, his eyes slightly red, his voice choked with emotion: "The Heaven-Mending Pavilion... is gone."
"Elder Tao Ye, Ancestor Mu Yan, the Pavilion Master are all dead, they are all dead. You clearly told me the news in advance, but I..."
