He knew very well that the cannon fodder's fate was very similar to Xia Ling's. Elder Jun had deduced Xia Ling's fate.

[ Born noble, the path of life is full of misfortunes. Life is full of twists and turns. It is difficult to have a happy ending. ]

The so-called path of life was full of misfortunes. Wasn't it the fate of cannon fodder?

Xia Ling was cannon fodder, and grandpa Xiao in front of her was also cannon fodder. How could the fate of cannon fodder be smooth?

"Grandpa, my master doesn't like to talk. You go in first. I'll go to the village and arrange a place for master to stay. Then I'll come back." Xiao Yunchen helped grandpa Xiao in.

Xia Ling followed Xiao Yunchen into the Xiao family village.

Xiao Yunchen was returning home in glory. As a small village in the mortal world, it was already very impressive to have two immortals.

Before Xiao Yunchen and Xia Ling came, the sons of the village chief were all worshipped as immortals. They even built an ancestral hall.

Along the way, Xia Ling heard the villagers discussing whether they were better or the son of the village chief was better.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Xia Ling saw the son of the village chief sitting on a high seat, waiting for them to pass.

He was dressed in an indigo brocade robe, with a big waist and a fat, white face. He looked like the lord of the land on a mural.

He looked at Xia Ling and Xiao Yunchen with lightning-like eyes.

The tall, green-robed youth was still handsome, different from the short and small figure in his memory.

The female cultivator next to the youth was dressed in a moon-white dress. Her temperament was cold and clear, just like those fairies he had seen in the cultivation world.

Then, he looked at her realm

Heavens! He could not see through the realms of the two people. Even when he looked at them, his legs were still trembling?

He scrambled down from the high seat, and this silly son fell to his knees and knelt in front of Xiao Yunchen and Xia Ling.

"Greetings, senior!" He kowtowed.

In the cultivation world, everyone bowed when they met.

Xia Ling's mouth twitched when she saw him kowtowing. She then looked at the people next to her.

The villagers who followed them from afar to see which side was more powerful quickly spread the news when they saw this scene.

The news spread like wildfire. Soon, everyone in the Xiao family village came to the ancestral hall of their own accord, hoping to touch the immortal destiny.

Returning home in glory was nothing more than this.

They had once bullied and ridiculed the grandfather and grandson. They had once forced Xiao Yunchen to be their page boy. Otherwise, they would have been driven out of the Xiao family village.

Now, they were kneeling in the ancestral hall humbly, treating them as if they were gods.

Xiao Yunchen looked at the village chief, his son, and the villagers standing outside. All kinds of expressions stirred up waves in his heart.

In an instant, his realm loosened, and he had another opportunity to break through.

"Master, please protect me."

After saying this urgently, Xiao Yunchen pulled up his robe and broke through in the ancestral hall.

He quickly set up a restriction, and Xia Ling isolated the entire ancestral hall. She guarded Xiao Yunchen in the restriction.

She thought for a moment, and then set up a spirit gathering array.

When Xiao Yunchen finished breaking through, he was in high spirits, and the ground of the ancestral hall was already covered with spirit stone debris.

"Master, I will compensate you."

Xiao Yunchen counted the stones on the ground. There were probably several thousand low-grade spirit stones on it, right? And several hundred middle-grade spirit stones.

In the Clear Cloud sect, his monthly salary was thirty low-grade spirit stones. When he became the eldest senior brother, he would go to the main peak to explain that he was already in the core formation realm. His monthly salary could be raised to five hundred low-grade spirit stones a month.

When one's cultivation increased, the cultivators would still rely on the mystic realm to explore, pick up natural treasures, or refine artifacts and to obtain spirit stones.

But Xiao Yunchen didn't have any above that.

"Compensate?"

Her watery eyes moved slightly. Xia Ling looked at Xiao Yunchen. Her lips curled into a smile.

"I don't want you to compensate me. Marry me with your body!"
