“Hiss... that Peach Tree... bloomed?”

When someone noticed the Peach Tree’s branches full of blooming peach blossoms, opening up in such a vibrant display, they gasped.

If they hadn’t misremembered, in their impression, the Peach Tree blooming was something they had only heard the older generation talk about.

They said that when the Peach Tree bloomed, its petals could fill the entire Peach Blossom Town, and the whole town would be able to smell its fragrance.

Some very elderly individuals, upon seeing this scene, also trembled slightly.

They had indeed seen the Peach Tree bloom in their childhood, but later on, the Peach Tree stopped blooming.

But now, it actually bloomed!

This scene was just like the sky full of falling fragrant blossoms they had seen in their childhood.

And the residents living near the Peach Tree, upon opening their doors and seeing the Peach Tree suddenly covered in blossoms overnight, were also stunned.

Then, they suddenly remembered what He Xiuyuan had said yesterday evening.

“Do you remember, yesterday evening Mr. He said it was a pity that he wouldn’t see the Peach Tree bloom this year, and then the Peach Tree bloomed overnight…”

Someone swallowed their saliva at this moment, speaking with eyes full of shock.

The others nodded in agreement, “Of course we remember. It seems this Peach Tree has Qi! It actually bloomed just because of a word from Mr. He?”

At this moment, everyone gazed at the Peach Tree, sniffing the floral scent in the air.

They finally understood why some elders spoke of the peach blossoms and their fragrance from childhood with such nostalgia.

When these peach blossoms opened, they truly lived up to their name, astonishing everyone.

“If you ask me, Mr. He is also extraordinary. This Peach Tree hasn't bloomed for many years. If it weren’t for Mr. He, how could it possibly bloom just because of a single sentence?”

“That’s natural. You don’t know how extraordinary Mr. He is.”

Zhou Yong also arrived at the Peach Tree at this moment, looking at it with a shocked expression.

He naturally knew how extraordinary Mr. He was; wasn't it because of Mr. He that the Tiger Demon on the mountain spared them?

Moreover, even a powerful Tiger Demon like that had to kneel and bow to Mr. He for guidance!

“This blooming Peach Tree is truly incomparably beautiful!”

Just as everyone was gathered under the Peach Tree, marveling and examining it, a slightly aged voice suddenly came from the side.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and seeing that the newcomer was Steward Song, they immediately smiled.

“That’s natural! Our Peach Blossom Town got its name because of this Peach Tree!”

“Yes, but you’re lucky; you just arrived here and can already see this Peach Tree in bloom.”

The surrounding people responded with smiles.

Knowing that he had come specifically to pick up He Xiuyuan, they were very polite to Steward Song.

Steward Song nodded slightly, looked up at the Peach Tree, and then said with some confusion.

“The problem is, this season doesn’t seem to be the time for Peach Trees to bloom. Did this Peach Tree miss its season?”

If he remembered correctly, this month was not the time for Peach Trees to bloom.

“And when I came yesterday, the Peach Tree branches were bare. How did the Peach Tree become full of blossoms overnight?”

Steward Song looked puzzled as he said this.

Could it be that there was some special custom in Peach Blossom Town, and the Peach Trees here bloomed differently from those in other places?

Everyone immediately chuckled, “That’s naturally because of Mr. He! Yesterday evening, Mr. He said it was a pity that he wouldn’t see the Peach Tree bloom this year, and this Peach Tree has Qi, so it bloomed overnight.”

“Yes, yes, this is all thanks to Mr. He. If it weren’t for Mr. He, we wouldn’t have seen this Peach Tree bloom. This Peach Tree hasn’t bloomed in decades.”

The continuous words from the people around all stated that the Peach Tree’s ability to bloom was all thanks to He Xiuyuan.

Steward Song, hearing this, was suddenly a bit bewildered. What were these people saying?

The Peach Tree blooming in this season, and all the blossoms opening overnight, was indeed surprising.

But to say it was He Xiuyuan’s doing, wasn’t that a bit too much?

How could He Xiuyuan, a scholar, possess such ability?

Thinking of this, Steward Song directly interrupted their words and spoke.

“What you all are saying, isn’t it a bit too exaggerated? The Peach Tree blooming, how can that be considered Mr. He’s achievement?”

“Could it be that Mr. He usually fertilized and watered it?”

Steward Song, after all, came from a noble family and had some experience; how could he be misled by these people’s few words?

The people around did not take offense to this, knowing that the other party had just arrived and naturally did not know that Mr. He was an extraordinary person.

Thinking of this, they immediately began to tell Steward Song about He Xiuyuan’s extraordinary deeds.

Such as being able to ride a bamboo raft, having a clear and spiritual wind in his courtyard, and even coming back from the dead.

However, Steward Song, listening to these words, suddenly found himself in a difficult position between laughter and tears.

What was all this nonsense?

Riding a bamboo raft might just be He Xiuyuan fishing at the time, being pulled by a large fish in the water.

He had seen such situations before.

Once, someone was fishing in the river, and the large fish in the water was so fierce and strong that the fisherman’s bamboo raft was even pulled away.

What did that count for?

As for things like coming back from the dead, it was merely surviving a great disaster, what did that count for?

And this clear and spiritual wind was even more of an exaggeration.

Just a gentle breeze.

Peach Blossom Town was not too remote; why were the people here so ignorant?

Steward Song’s brow furrowed slightly as he thought of this.

Moreover, with these rumors spreading like this, He Xiuyuan didn’t even come out to explain and stop these people; this was also a bit off.

He Xiuyuan was a scholar, after all; how could he do such a thing?

He had read the books of sages, yet now he was relying on these things to deceive people?

As he thought this, the good impression He Xiuyuan had given him yesterday immediately dropped significantly.

This time, after taking He Xiuyuan back to Chang’an Prefecture, he was afraid he would have to report this matter to the Master and let him carefully consider this marriage.

Otherwise, if the Young Miss were truly married to such a person, it would likely be a disaster, causing the Young Miss suffering.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yong and the others beside him were completely unaware of this; they were still telling the other party about He Xiuyuan’s extraordinary qualities.

When Zhou Yong got excited, he almost blurted out the incident with the Tiger Demon he had seen that day, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back.

The matter of a Tiger Demon in the mountains truly could not be spoken lightly, otherwise, it would cause trouble.
