I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

After listening to what Village Chief He said, Qiu Yan smiled faintly, and then said to Village Chief He, "Village Chief He, you are too polite. I am neither a chivalrous man nor a person who is greedy for rewards. All I did just now was because that girl Xiaonan looks very much like my sister, so I helped her out. So, Village Chief He, there is no need to say anything about repayment." After saying that, Qiu Yan smiled politely, then bowed to Village Chief He and continued, "Okay, Village Chief He, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first. We'll meet again in the future if we are lucky." After saying that, Qiu Yan ignored Village Chief He and just got up and left.

Although Qiu Yan's attitude towards Village Chief He seemed very polite, he felt like he was keeping someone at a distance. This was mainly because Qiu Yan felt that Village Chief He was a bit scheming. He was very cautious about himself just now, but now he took the initiative to ask for something in return. There must be some calculations in this. Although Qiu Yan didn't know what Village Chief He's calculations were, Qiu Yan didn't want to deal with such people. Qiu Yan only liked to deal with honest people.

Seeing Qiuyan leaving, how could He Liansheng, as the head of the village, not see what Qiuyan was thinking? Saying that he had something to do was just Qiuyan's excuse. In fact, Qiuyan didn't want to talk to him more. As for the reason why Qiuyan didn't want to talk to him more, Village Chief He also thought about it. After all, the contrast between himself just now and now was really big. As the saying goes, those who show kindness without any reason are either treacherous or thieves. At this time, anyone might be more cautious. So the village chief who understood this did not stop Qiuyan, but sighed and said to Xiaonan who was not far from him, "Hey! Since little brother Qiuyan has something to do, we can't force him to stay. You should go back and pack your things and hide. The next time Qingtianshi comes, the village chief probably won't be able to protect you anymore!" Village Chief He's words were a bit bleak, and his tone was full of helplessness and helplessness. Xiaonan seemed to understand what the village chief meant. After hesitating for a moment, he said to the village chief, "Village chief! Xiaonan won't leave. If I leave, they will definitely not let you and everyone in the village go. So I can't leave. Even if I die, I will die in the village!"

The village chief's tone was sad, and Xiaonan's tone was a little miserable. Hearing the village chief and Xiaonan's sad and miserable tone, Qiu Yan stopped walking after walking a few steps. After thinking for a while, he turned to the village chief He and asked, "Village chief He, do you think Qingtianshi dares to trouble Xiaonan again?"

Hearing Qiu Yan's words, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of Village Chief He's mouth, but it disappeared soon. Then Village Chief He turned around with a worried look on his face and looked at Qiu Yan and said, "Actually, we have already driven them away once before, but they still came today. Although the strength displayed by the young brother today made them very wary, but based on my understanding of Qingtian Stone, he suffered a loss at your hands today, and he will definitely get it back from us in the future." When Village Chief He said this, there was a trace of worry on his face. This look of worry was not pretended by Village Chief He, but he was really worried about this.

Hearing the village chief say this, Qiu Yan's face became solemn. Originally, he wanted to help Xiao Nan and the village, but he didn't think that his approach might not only fail to help the village, but also harm the village. Thinking of this, Qiu Yan glanced at Village Chief He and said, "I'm sorry, Village Chief He, I just wanted to help you before, but I didn't consider that he might come back again."

Hearing Qiu Yan's apology, Village Chief He immediately smiled and said, "Little brother Qiu Yan, don't blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't helped, our Xifeng Village would have been in trouble today. Your coming forward gave our village some breathing space, so I would like to thank you."

"Just some respite?" Qiu Yan muttered to himself after hearing the words of the village chief, then thought for a while and asked to Village Chief He, "Village Chief He, is there anything else I can do to help you?" At this point, Qiu Yan lowered his head and said somewhat self-blame, "I want to help you, but I don't want you to suffer greater harm because of me as soon as I leave, so if there is anything I can help with, please tell me, Village Chief He. Although my strength is not strong and my brain is not good enough, I will do my best to help you!" After speaking, Qiu Yan raised his head and looked at Qiu Yan seriously.

After hearing what Qiu Yan said, the village chief was so happy that he thought Qiu Yan was really not very smart and was fooled by his little trick. Although what he said just now was true, Qing Tianshi was indeed driven away once, but last time Qing Tianshi only brought two ordinary servants to rob people, and the spiritual power level of the three people together was not as high as his, so the three people were driven away by him alone. And this time Qing Tianshi brought three sixth-level spiritual masters. Although the sixth-level spiritual master is nothing in a big town, it is already considered a strong man in a remote town like theirs, and Qiu Yan subdued the three people in an instant with his own strength, so even if Qing Tianshi is bold, he will not dare to come back to provoke them again. After all, people like Qing Tianshi are still very cherishing. Although he also knows that Qiu Yan can't stay in Xifeng Village forever, he will not risk his life to rob someone, so based on He Liansheng's understanding of Qing Tianshi, he will never come to Xifeng Village to cause trouble again. The reason why Village Chief He wanted to keep Qiu Yan was not to guard against people like Qing Tianshi, nor was it to repay Qiu Yan, because what he said before was the truth. Xifeng Village is a remote small village, and there is nothing to repay Qiu Yan. But Village Chief He used these words to keep Qiu Yan not for himself, because his life has been like this, and there is nothing good to gain. His only idea now is to manage Xifeng Village well and let the villagers of Xifeng Village live better. This is his responsibility as the village chief and his goal. So, in a big way, the purpose of Village Chief He to keep Qiu Yan is actually for his own village. In a small way, Village Chief He actually wants Qiu Yan to do him another favor, but Village Chief He cannot say this favor directly, so he can only use this method to induce Qiu Yan little by little. Now that Village Chief He's goal has been achieved, he is naturally happy. Of course, he cannot show this on his face. In order to make Qiu Yan believe what he said, Village Chief He still smiled with worry on his face and said to Qiu Yan, "If Qiu Yan's matter is not urgent, then I really have something I would like to ask you for help with."

When Qiu Yan heard Village Chief He say that he could help her with something, he felt less guilty and said to Village Chief He, "Village Chief He, please tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Hearing Qiuyan's words, Village Chief He smiled. He did not answer Qiuyan directly, but looked up at the rising sun, and then said to Qiuyan, "Brother Qiuyan, these things are a bit complicated. I just heard from Jindong that you rested under the archway last night. I guess you haven't had breakfast yet? It happened that my wife was already cooking when I came out, and it should be ready now. If you don't mind, please come to my house for breakfast. How about we talk while eating?"

Hearing what Village Chief He said, Qiu Yan also looked up at the sky. Although Qiu Yan could not eat after reaching level 100 and would not starve to death, he felt that if he did not eat, he would not be like a human being. Except for the few days when he could not find food on the road, Qiu Yan had regular meals in the wooden house. So when he heard Village Chief He say that he wanted to eat, Qiu Yan hesitated for a moment and agreed. Anyway, he had decided to help the village deal with some things, so it was no problem to have a meal or even stay for a few days.

After Qiuyan agreed to the village chief, the village chief walked towards the village with Qiuyan and Xiaonan. When they reached the entrance of the village, everyone at the entrance was puzzled. They were all curious why Qiuyan, who had left twice, came back with the village chief again. Because at this time, except for Village Chief He, no one understood what the village chief meant by asking Qiuyan to come back, and even Xiaonan only half understood. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the village chief arranged for Xiaonan to take Qiuyan into the village first, and then the village chief told everyone about some defense matters at the entrance of the village, and then entered the village.

After the village chief arranged everything, he went into the village. At this time, Yu Jindong, who was not assigned with any guards, had no intention of working in the fields. He picked up a bamboo basket and a hoe and followed the village chief. Then, looking at Qiu Yan who had already entered the village, he asked the village chief in a low voice, "Village chief, why did you bring him to the village? Can't you just thank him outside the village?"

Yu Jindong didn't understand what the village chief meant, and the village chief didn't want to explain anything to Yu Jindong at this time. He just replied to Yu Jindong lightly, "You will understand soon," and then ignored Yu Jindong and walked straight towards his home.

Xiaonan took Qiuyan into the village. After entering the village, Xiaonan stopped in front of a courtyard with Qiuyan. After stopping, Xiaonan introduced Qiuyan, "This is the home of our village chief." After that, Xiaonan pushed open the gate directly, and then said to Qiuyan, "Come in!" After that, Xiaonan took the lead in walking into the gate. Qiuyan didn't think much about it and followed Xiaonan in. After entering the yard, Qiuyan took a look at the village chief's house and found that the structure of the village chief's house was very simple. There were three main rooms facing north, a kitchen and a firewood room on the side, and a not very high blue brick wall on the other side. The village chief's yard was not big, but it was very clean and tidy. There was a tree in the middle of the yard, and a small round table and a few stools were placed next to the tree. There was nothing else in the yard.
