Chapter 1715: Chapter 1715 Lower-class Peasants
At noon, the sun was painfully bright.
Ye Liuyun could only lie there with his eyes closed.
He didn’t dare to fall asleep, fearing he would be eaten by a feral beast.
Suddenly, he heard voices of people talking.
The voices sounded like an elder and a child. Ye Liuyun vaguely heard, it seemed like an old man was telling a child about medicinal herbs.
Ye Liuyun held his breath, not wanting to be discovered. He didn’t know whether these newcomers were friends or foes, whether they would try to rob him of his possessions.
If they were evil, he could only resist using his poisonous power to kill them.
By the time he heard footsteps, the old and young duo had also found him.
"Grandpa, there’s somebody over there!" the voice of a child echoed.
"Let’s go take a look!" an elderly voice responded, and the duo walked over together.
Ye Liuyun lay flat on the ground, unable to see the people, only hearing the footsteps drawing near.
"Is he dead?" The child asked as he approached, apprehensive about getting too close.
The old man, after inspecting Ye Liuyun, asked directly: "You are a martial practitioner from the Mortal Realm, aren’t you? Don’t be afraid, we mean no harm."
After the old man spoke, he even stepped into the range of Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense, allowing him to get a clear view.
The child also followed, tugging at the old man’s sleeve.
Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense detected that the two were dressed simply, both carrying baskets on their backs, as if they had come to the mountain to collect herbs.
Seeing that the other’s appearance was simple and they looked very peaceful, and they could tell that he was from the God Realm, Ye Liuyun knew that pretending to be dead was of no use.
He could only close his eyes and reply, "Yes, I have come from the mortal world. Senior, is this indeed the God Realm?"
Ye Liuyun still wanted to confirm with the old man.
"That’s correct! Don’t worry, you will regain your strength after a month of adaptation. But lying here like this, you might attract feral beasts.
If you don’t mind, I can take you back to our place, wait for your recovery, then you can leave, how about it?" The old man wanted to save Ye Liuyun, but didn’t know whether Ye Liuyun would dare to go with him.
Ye Liuyun was also hesitating. If he fell into evil hands, he would have no chance to resist at that time.
At this moment, the little boy said to Ye Liuyun: "My grandfather is a great person; he’s the village doctor and helps many people, he will also heal you!"
Hearing the innocent words of the boy, Ye Liuyun thought he could give it a try. At least the old man and the boy in front of him seemed to have no ill intentions towards him.
"Thank you, senior! However, all my bones are broken and my body is limp, I’m afraid it’s not very convenient to move."
Ye Liuyun thanked him first, then felt that it might be difficult for this grandfather-grandson duo to move him.
"That’s no problem. Although I don’t have much strength, I am capable of moving some stuff!"
It seemed as if the old man knew what Ye Liuyun was worried about. He immediately used his vital energy to lift Ye Liuyun stably without causing him any pain.
"Thank you, senior!" Ye Liuyun hurriedly thanked him.
The little boy, seeing Ye Liuyun with his eyes closed, curiously asked: "Why don’t you open your eyes? Are you also blind?"
"Xingnan!" The old man reprimanded the boy.
Ye Liuyun also smiled and said, "No harm done. It’s a child after all! My eyes are fine, it’s just that the sun is too glaring, so I had to close them!" freēwēbnovel.com
"Oh, I see!" The boy chuckled, glancing at the sun in the sky, he admitted it was indeed too bright.
He was only five or six years old, and there was a lot he didn’t understand yet.
The old man helped Ye Liuyun in returning by harnessing his genuine energy.
"My name is Ye Liuyun, from the Star Remote Continent. May I know how to address you?" Ye Liuyun introduced himself and asked the old man.
"You can simply call me grandpa! This is my grandson, Li Xingnan," the old man introduced.
"In the village, everyone calls my grandfather the Legendary Medicine Practitioner!" Li Xingnan interjected. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
He probably didn’t interact with outsiders often, so the appearance of Ye Liuyun excited him and he conversed nonstop along the way."What Legendary Medicine Practitioner, that’s all neighborly jest! I’m just a farmer who refines medicine in the village, don’t listen to his nonsense!" Li Xingnan’s grandfather explained, fearing that Ye Liuyun might misunderstand.
"What Legendary Medicine Practitioner, that’s all neighborly jest! I’m just a farmer who refines medicine in the village, don’t listen to his nonsense!" Mr.Li explained, fearing that Ye Liuyun might misunderstand. Li Xingnan’s grandfather was clearly not very strong, having to put Ye Liuyun down to rest every now and then as they traveled.
Li Xingnan’s grandfather obviously wasn’t very strong, after walking for awhile, he had to put Ye Liuyun down and take a break.
"Much gratitude to grandpa!" Ye Liuyun also kept thanking him, aware that it wasn’t easy for the other party.
He perceived the old man’s true essence with his Divine Sense, and it didn’t seem to surpass his own core quality.
"It’s not a bother. My grandfather often helps others!"
Before Li Xingnan’s grandfather could say anything, Li Xingnan chimed in again.
"Hehe, indeed! I don’t have much to do each day, mostly just gathering herbs, concocting medicines, and healing people! I’m not particularly competent, only capable of treating minor ailments, and I make a living on this!" Li Xingnan’s grandfather amiably patted his grandson’s head and started chatting with Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun learned that their village wasn’t big, with a population of just over two hundred people, which should be considered relatively safe.
Li Xingnan’s grandfather also told Ye Liuyun that he was lucky. The people here were very simple and honest. They would not harm him, nor would they try to snatch his belongings.
"What attitude do the locals show towards someone from the mortal realm? What might happen to an unlucky martial practitioner who ended up here?" Ye Liuyun also asked.
"Sigh!" Li Xingnan’s grandfather sighed and started to explain to Ye Liuyun.
"In the eyes of the God Realm, mortals are considered lower-class peasants. If you happen to be in a crowded place or under the influence of a powerful group, then you’ll be largely unlucky. You’ll be branded aSlaving Seal and treated like a draft animal.
They would naturally not leave you with anything, and they will not provide you with any practice resources in the future. Your treatment will be inferior to that of a common servant!"
"So miserable?" Ye Liuyun didn’t expect himself to be classified as a lower-class peasant, even worse than a commoner.
Li Xingnan’s grandfather sighed again and continued to speak, "In reality, we villagers are the same. In the eyes of these powerful forces, we are also lower-class citizens without any status."
Ye Liuyun remained silent in response.
Survival of the fittest is the same everywhere.
He just didn’t expect the class discrimination in the God Realm to be even worse than in the Central Continent.
Seeing Ye Liuyun silent, Li Xingnan’s grandfather immediately changed the topic, "Enough of this topic! You will gradually understand all of this in the future."
They walked and stopped for almost half a day before finally returning to a simple residential house.
It was a small courtyard with only three stone houses. Some medicinal herbs were planted in the courtyard, which looked very simple.
"This is our home! The herbs in the courtyard were planted by grandpa, so don’t touch them!"
Li Xingnan kept introducing to Ye Liuyun.
