Summit Farmer
Chapter 296 - 295: Guardian

Chapter 296: Chapter 295: Guardian

The Smith house was a bamboo building, with the first floor filled with various miscellaneous items and the second floor being the living area.

At a glance, Peter Brown could tell that the Smith family was one of the better-off households in the village.

The commotion was welcomed by the villagers who all showed kindly smiles when they heard that the most beautiful flower in the village had been picked by Peter.

The villagers all came out to congratulate Peter Brown. For them, they had never thought about going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. As long as the couple was a good match and their parents agreed, a wedding banquet would be held and the couple would be sent to their bridal chamber. This type of marriage is recognized by everyone, and as long as everyone approves, it is considered done and nobody would have any objections.

Now that Peter Brown was a young man and had won the hand of the sister through a song, even more people were witnessing the event, so there were absolutely no problems.

As for whether Peter had other women outside or not, the villagers didn’t care at all. They only knew that Peter was a big boss, and for Olivia to become Peter’s woman, that was a blessing.

Seeing this situation, Peter Brown loudly said: "Everyone, bring out all your good food, I’ll buy it! Go to the village chief’s place to settle the bill, and I’ll pay everyone at that time."

Upon hearing this, the people became even more excited, and the village chief came out, wrapped in clothes and laughing loudly.

The place became lively once again.

The Smith family was not very populated. Apart from a middle-aged man who was their father, there were no other family members. When the two sisters entered the house, the middle-aged man had already come out upon hearing the news.

Upon seeing that Olivia had been carried in by everyone, her father looked at her with an enquiring gaze.

At this moment, Olivia gave a slight nod in a way that others might not notice.

As soon as he saw this gesture from his daughter, the father of the two girls, Gael Evans, brightened his eyes and looked at Peter Brown.

At this moment, Peter Brown also looked at Gael Evans, but unfortunately, he could not tell that Gael was a cultivator.

It was strange that only Olivia in this family was at the Qi Refining First Layer, and the other two were not cultivators at all. What was going on?

At this time, a bonfire was lit outside the courtyard of the Smith house, and the villagers started singing and dancing again.

Gael Evans showed a smile on his face and shouted to the outside: "Today is the happy event of Olivia getting married. Everyone has fun!"

The faces of the villagers were also filled with smiles, and they danced even more joyfully.

Unexpectedly, Gael Evans easily admitted to this matter. When Peter Brown looked at Olivia, the young beauty had a flushed face and was dancing a very passionate dance with other young men and women around the bonfire.

At a glance, both Olivia and Susan, the Sisters Taylor, were the happiest people, dancing too sultrily.

Peter was also pulled into the crowd by the young people, dancing passionately with them.

This was a completely wild and joyous atmosphere!

Peter was even a little surprised by the energy of these villagers.

Only when the sky became bright did everyone gradually leave.

"Let’s go inside."

Gael Evans smiled and looked at Peter Brown.

Peter had also drunk quite a lot of wine at this time, and still had many questions in his heart.

"Brother-in-law, come and sit in our house."

Susan invited Peter.

Looking at Olivia again, she was staring at Peter with a pair of bright eyes, as if trying to see through him completely.

Upon entering the second-floor living area, Peter saw the rooms partitioned into several smaller ones. In the middle was a living room where everyone sat.

At this moment, Gael Evans changed his demeanor when the outsiders were no longer present, and fixed his gaze on Peter Brown, saying, "Olivia is my most beloved daughter, and starting today, I am entrusting her to you."

Peter hurriedly said, "Today’s event was an accident. I didn’t know it would develop into this. To be honest, I do have a woman."

Although he liked Olivia, Peter did not want to deceive people.

Gael Evans laughed and said, "That’s not important anymore."

When Peter looked towards the Sisters, he saw an expression of not caring. Olivia, at this time, was smiling at Peter as well.

Gael Evans continued, "I’m happy for Olivia that she has become your woman. I can see that you are a capable and kind-hearted person. It’s very good!"

Addressing his daughters, he said, "Why haven’t you made tea for Peter yet?"

"The tea in our house is not ordinary tea. It’s a kind of tea that can help with cultivation, and it has always been Olivia who consumes it."

At this point, Peter asked about his doubts.

"Is Olivia a cultivator?"

This was Peter’s probing question.

If it were an ordinary person from the mountains, they wouldn’t know what a Cultivator is at all. The reason Peter Brown asked this question was precisely to see what kind of situation it was.

As expected, when they heard Peter’s question, joy appeared on the faces of Gael Evans and his family.

Looking at Peter, Gael said, "You’ve realized that Lily is a Cultivator, right?"

Peter nodded.

Gael continued, "Now that we’ve matched the songs, our family finally has put one thing to rest!"

As he spoke, Gael suddenly knelt down towards Peter and said, "Old servant Gael Evans pays his respects to Master."

"Servant Susan Turner pays her respects to Master."

"Servant Olivia Turner pays her respects to Master."

Peter was quite startled by their sudden actions and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "What are you doing, what kind of society is this?"

Peter grew up in a modern society and never imagined that anyone would kneel down and greet him like this, let alone call themselves a servant. He was quite bewildered at the time.

After the greeting, Gael sat back down, looked at Peter, and asked, "I wonder what level of Cultivation the Master has now?"

Peter did not hide it and said, "Qi Refining Fourth Level."

Ah!

Susan exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Peter.

Peter said, "I saw that Olivia is at the Qi Refining First Layer. The two of you don’t have any Cultivation, but you do have strength. I suppose you must have the skills of mortal experts."

Gael sighed, "That’s what I was about to explain to the Master."

Peter quickly waved his hand, "Let’s get one thing straight, from now on, you all should just call me Peter. Don’t call me Master, it doesn’t feel right."

"Since the Master has said so, we will obey."

At this time, Olivia served a cup of tea to Peter. When he saw it, he exclaimed in surprise, "Enlightenment Tea!"

Enlightenment Tea is no ordinary tea. It’s well-known in the Cultivation World. While drinking the tea doesn’t grant enlightenment directly, continuous consumption of it greatly enhances one’s perception in all aspects of Cultivation over time.

"Master really is knowledgeable, recognizing the source of the tea at a glance."

Now, Peter’s curiosity about the Smith Clan’s three members increased.

As Peter took a sip of the tea, he closed his eyes and simply sat there.

The Smith family did not disturb Peter’s tea-drinking, knowing the importance of the first sip of Enlightenment Tea.

At this moment, Peter suddenly understood some things that he didn’t comprehend during his previous Cultivation. He had never experienced so many insights, and his whole being became immersed in comprehending the inherited knowledge.

As time passed slowly, Peter found that although his Cultivation didn’t improve much, his spiritual power had increased significantly. It seemed like a new domain had opened up in his brain, and his mind had never been so clear.

"It really is Enlightenment Tea!"

Opening his eyes, Peter couldn’t help but praise.

Gael smiled, "It seems you gained quite a bit."

Peter nodded and said, "I believe there will be more. However, I’m a bit puzzled about you three. Can you explain?"

Gael sighed, "Actually, there’s a big secret in Blackstone Village. There’s a Cultivation inheritance here, and our Smith Clan are the guardians."

As he spoke, Gael looked at Peter.

Guardians!

Peter wasn’t too interested in the inheritance itself but was curious about the Smith family being guardians.

When Gael did not see any impatient expression or change from Peter, he nodded secretly. From this, it could be seen that Peter was not greedy. Having such a Master was indeed a good thing.

"Master might not think much of this inheritance. Actually, after such a long time, even I don’t know what kind of things are inside."

"Uncle Gael, don’t call yourself an old servant. You are still my elder."

Gael smiled slightly, "It’s ancestral teachings!"

"Times have changed, and everything can change a bit. It’s enough to remember the teachings in our hearts. From now on, I’ll call you Uncle, and you can call me Peter or Little Wang."

"Alright then!"

Gael continued, "We don’t know when we started guarding this place, but our teachings say we shouldn’t leave until the inheritance has a new owner. After several generations of guarding, there are only three of us left in my generation. Sigh, sometimes I worry that the inheritance won’t continue, but luckily, today we’ve finally put this matter to rest."

After asking for a while, Peter didn’t gain any useful knowledge, so he asked, "Why did you use those Elixir Formulas in the song?"

Gael responded with bitterness, "I really don’t know. Our family has a Cultivation technique that can be practiced by anyone with the surname Smith. Sadly, after so many generations, no one in our family has achieved a high level of Cultivation. Reaching the Qi Refining Second Layer is already considered good. Olivia has great talents, but her progress has been difficult since she reached the Qi Refining First Layer."
