Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Therefore, Xueyao believed that in addition to practicing hard, she also needed to practice hard. Only when she became strong would she be truly confident.

The cultivation levels of the others are lower than hers.

Su Xin, Xiao Lin'er, and Xue Yu are at the advanced beginner stage; Ren Hu, Qing Yi, Yun Duo Duo, and Bao Ling are at the intermediate peak stage.

In the celestial realm, although their cultivation was not too low, compared to the immortals who had cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, they still seemed immature. Xue Yao knew that they needed more experience and accumulation before they could gain a foothold in the celestial realm.

"We cannot be satisfied with the status quo," Xue Yao said solemnly at a gathering. "The celestial realm is filled with experts. We must constantly break through ourselves to remain invincible in the face of future challenges."

Everyone nodded, understanding Xue Yao's meaning. In this world where the strong are respected, only by constantly improving one's own strength can one win respect and status.

"What we're going to do next," Xue Yao continued, "is to delve into every corner of the Heavenly Realm during the day, searching for opportunities. At night, we're going to the Secret Garden, where we can calm down and practice diligently, constantly improving our cultivation."

Everyone agreed. Xueyao also asked everyone to keep a low profile, and when facing outsiders, everyone's cultivation level should be reduced to the beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels.

In order to avoid some unknown troubles, Xue Yao suppressed her cultivation as soon as she passed through the Heavenly Gate when she ascended.

After recognizing the reality of the situation, Xue Yao decided to focus her main energy on improving her cultivation in the coming days.

She just had an appointment with Zi Ling, so she had to fulfill her promise first.

On this day, Zi Ling arrived as promised and stepped into Qingfeng Garden. Xue Yao had already been waiting in the courtyard. When she saw Zi Ling, a spring-like smile appeared on her face.

"Zi Ling, you're here." Xue Yao stepped forward, her eyes full of joy.

Zi Ling smiled slightly, her eyes wandering around the courtyard, as if appreciating every detail. "Xueyao, this is such a wonderful place, quiet and elegant, making people feel relaxed and happy."

Xue Yao nodded gently, motioning Zi Ling to sit down. The two sat opposite each other at the stone table in the courtyard. "Zi Ling, I'm so glad you can come."

Just then, Su Xin brought over some tea. Xue Yao took the teapot and poured Zi Ling a cup of fragrant tea. "Try this tea. I brought it specially from the human world. It should taste good."

Zi Ling took the teacup, blew away the steam, and took a sip, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Well, this tea is really good, fragrant and sweet, with a long aftertaste."

The two of them sipped tea and chatted about the stories they had seen in heaven and interesting things in the human world. Xue Yao was thinking in her heart, Zi Ling is not a bad person.

Zi Ling's temperament and Xue Yao's elegance complement each other, and the communication between the two is easy and pleasant.

The two continued to sip tea. Xue Yao suddenly remembered something and asked softly, "Zi Ling, where exactly were you when you went to the human world?"

Zi Ling put down her teacup, a flicker of memory in her eyes. "After I fell into the human world, I was in a village called Xiangshui Village. The mountains and rivers there are picturesque and the scenery is poetic. It's a nice place."

Xiangshui Village?

Could it be some Xiangshui Village?

Xueyao was a little confused when she heard this.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in her heart. Xueyao knew that there were countless Xiangshui villages in the world, but her intuition told her that the village Ziling mentioned might have some connection with her.

"Zi Ling, do you remember the exact location of Xiangshui Village?" Xue Yao couldn't help but ask, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

Zi Ling was slightly taken aback, as if she was a little surprised by Xue Yao's reaction, but she still answered patiently: "I remember that the village is located in a beautiful valley, surrounded by green mountains, and a clear stream runs through the village."

As Xueyao listened to Ziling's description, she became increasingly certain that the Xiangshui Village she was talking about was exactly where she had once traveled. She had spent a wonderful time there, met many kind villagers, and left behind some unforgettable memories.

"Zi Ling, I once went to a village called Xiangshui, which was quite similar to the one you described." Xue Yao said with a smile, her eyes gleaming with memories.

Zi Ling's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. "Really? That's such a coincidence."

The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, the distance between them was shortened a lot. Xue Yao asked again: "Tell me, when you were in Xiangshui Village, what was your husband's family name?"

"My surname is Qin. Since you have been there, you should know a man named Qin Ming." Zi Ling said kindly.

Xueyao was shocked when she saw her expression. Could it be that Qin Ming was her...

Xueyao hadn't figured it out yet when she heard Zi Ling say, "He is my son in the human world."

"Huh?" Really? This coincided with her guess.

"Yes, do you know him?" Zi Ling asked, her expression still kind.

No matter how Xue Yao looked at it, that expression was too inconsistent with her age, which looked to be seventeen or eighteen.

"More than just knowing each other." Xue Yao then told the story of how Qin Ming's family met with misfortune, how they were captured in the so-called underground palace, how they rescued Qin Ming and his only daughter Qin Wan'er, and how Qin Wan'er later became a princess.

After hearing this, Zi Ling sighed so deeply that she couldn't help but shed tears.

Zi Ling's tears softened Xue Yao's heart. She patted Zi Ling's shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't be sad. Qin Ming's family is living well now. Wan'er has become a princess. They are all very happy."

Today, Murong Chen rules the world, and the world is heading for prosperity. With Xue Yao's help, the common people are living a good life.

Moreover, Qin Ming was determined to return to Xiangshui Village. Xueyao not only sent him many things, but also arranged more than enough money for his retirement. In addition, she also asked someone to arrange for several trustworthy servants for him, so he should have a good life.

Zi Ling wiped her tears and nodded, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes. "Thank you, Xueyao."

Xue Yao smiled slightly, but was thinking in her heart that perhaps the encounter between her and Zi Ling was not just a chance encounter, but that there was some kind of fate between them.

"Zi Ling, since we have met by chance, why don't we visit each other more often in the future." Xue Yao suggested. She felt that Zi Ling was a friend worth making close friends with.

Zi Ling readily agreed, and the two agreed to visit each other frequently in the future, discussing the ways of cultivation and sharing interesting anecdotes from the heavenly realm. In Qingfeng Garden, their laughter echoed throughout the courtyard, as if foreshadowing the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

In the afternoon of Qingfeng Garden, sunlight streamed through the treetops. The two chatted at the stone table, as if time had stood still. Xueyao knew that meeting Ziling would be a beautiful memory in her life in heaven.

The two chatted and laughed happily. An hour later, Yun Duoduo came over with a smile, "Fairies Xueyao and Ziling, dinner is ready. Please come to the backyard to eat."
