The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Chapter 157 The Burnt Peach Tree

The mayor of Furong City asked Xia Yunyun to explain the whole story and also said that the Taoyuan City is gone now and all the living people are here.

Xia Yunyun did not tell anyone that the girls had lost their innocence. After all, there were many people with many opinions, and these girls still needed to live in this city, so it was better not to spread the news.

Although she doesn't care, others may not care either.

At this time, a maid came to report that a huge burnt peach tree suddenly appeared in an abandoned yard.

This seems to be new evidence that proves the truthfulness of Xia Yunyun's words.

But the others who came with Master Jin were disappointed and heartbroken. Was their child really dead?

Xia Yunyun could only apologize for this matter. Even she almost couldn't come back after going in, let alone those ordinary girls.

The master of the Jin family patted his daughter's hand which was holding his arm, and felt very fortunate.

The only consolation is that although their children will never come back, the culprit has been brought to justice and no one will be killed anymore.

The group went to see the burnt peach tree that suddenly appeared.

Everyone looked at the huge tree. The Lord of Hibiscus City said, "It seems that the emergence of the so-called Peach Blossom City is closely related to it, but this tree did not exist in this courtyard before."

It can be seen from the weeds and fallen leaves on the ground and the spider webs in the corners that the city lord is telling the truth.

If this peach tree had been in this yard for a long time and was burnt, the surrounding weeds would also be ignited, but in fact, the surrounding area does not look like it has been burned by fire.

And if this tree has been here for a long time and was burned before, then there will be spider webs on the tree just like in the corner of the wall.

This tree is as out of place as this yard.

Logically speaking, the City Lord's Mansion shouldn't have such an abandoned yard, even one covered with cobwebs.

Even the city lord found this matter a little strange. She didn't even remember that there was a yard here that was not often cleaned.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, the walls were covered with cobwebs and dust, and there were even many broken walls.

Even if she didn't care about the courtyard, the housekeeper should have hired someone to clean it up and would not have allowed it to be abandoned like this.

But this courtyard has indeed been abandoned for who knows how long, and even the city lord is a little surprised.

It seems that this tree is indeed a little special. Fortunately, it has been burnt.

The city lord waved her hand, and a thunder spell split the peach tree into several sections. She said to the maid who led the way, "Go find the housekeeper and have them tidy up this yard and plant some flowers. And dig out whatever roots of the peach tree you can."

After all, we don’t know how many years the peach tree is, so we have to be careful to prevent it from coming back to life.

After knowing the whole story and witnessing the appearance of the peach tree, the city lord arranged everything, and then Ling Yan'er and others returned home.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, except for Jin Suyi who followed the master of the Jin family, the other girls were told by Ling Yan'er to see their family's attitude after returning. If that didn't work, they should take the wooden sign and read out the name of the academy and go to her academy.

After all, the shortest period of their disappearance was almost a month. It is really difficult to understand the attitude of their family members after being missing for such a long time.

If your family can accept it, that would be the best. If not, there is at least a way out.

The girls all agreed to Ling Yan'er's request. They also asked Ling Yan'er where she lived. Ling Yan'er told them the address of Xia Yunyun and the others' sect headquarters and said, "I might stay here for two more days. If you decide to go with me in the next two days, you can come find me here."

So they parted ways, and Ling Yan'er took Dongfang Zichu back to Xia Yunyun and their sect's headquarters. After returning, Ling Yan'er lay down directly.

In fact, she had wanted to lie down for a long time. The matter in Taoyuan City was finally resolved, and she could finally take a break. She even wanted to go back to school directly.

When she was recruiting students in Lingyun City before, at least she encountered the Lingyun City sect recruitment, and she could meet quite a lot of people. But now the sect recruitment time has passed, and she doesn’t know anyone. Even if she sets up the table, no one may come.

What's more, this kind of thing just happened in Furong City, so it is indeed not realistic to recruit students.

At least at this time, everyone was busy asking about the news of the missing people. Even if the City Lord's Mansion informed the people in the city what happened, it would still take some time to notify everyone.

Ling Yan'er lay on the bed and looked at Dongfang Zichu beside her: "What do you say, we should take a break for two days and then go back to school?"

"Why? Aren't you here to recruit students?" Dongfang Zichu asked curiously.

Ling Yan'er thought about the fifty people she had recruited before, and how she might have only recruited five. She said, "The current situation in Furong City doesn't seem very suitable for recruiting students. I have no cultivation skills, and you are only this young. I don't think it would be very convincing for us to recruit students."

"Really?" Dongfang Zichu said indifferently, "It's up to you then."

Ling Yan'er took out her phone, looked at the few things the student recruitment team had given her, and said, "At least I don't really want to recruit students these days. I'll wait until I get back to school and rest for a few days before I consider it."

At least she doesn't want to work at all now. Alas, she shouldn't have such extra curiosity. Listening to stories is fun, but participating in the stories herself is not so fun.

The trip to Taoyuan City made her feel exhausted.
