Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 222: Things Have Changed, People Have Not (12)

At the end of autumn, the weather gradually became cooler.

It had been quite some time since the day when the Mysterious Yellow Sect came to block the door and attack.

The bad news was that the people from the Mysterious Yellow Sect were still outside the door, showing no intention of leaving.

The good news was that the people from the Mysterious Yellow Sect were no longer attacking, they were just stationed outside the door, their purpose unknown.

Chen An thought to himself that the other side probably still had undercover agents in the Heaven and Earth Sect, conspiring with these yet-to-be-exposed undercover agents to sabotage the Heaven and Earth Sect's protective formation.

Once the protective formation was broken, the people from the Mysterious Yellow Sect would be able to launch a full-scale attack on the Heaven and Earth Sect.

At that time, under the leadership of a Soul Formation Stage expert, the people from the Mysterious Yellow Sect would undoubtedly be able to easily capture the Heaven and Earth Sect.

The people from the Heaven and Earth Sect were obviously aware of this as well.

Therefore, they had been thoroughly investigating every disciple within the sect during this period of time, in order to expose all the hidden undercover agents.

On this morning, Chen An and his wives and daughters were relaxing by the door of the Cave Mansion, basking in the sun.

The nine of them had not taken a step outside the Cave Mansion.

They only stood or sat at the edge, enjoying the protection brought by the "life and death formation".

"Buzz—"

They heard a long sound of breaking through the air.

A flying boat appeared in the sky.

Chen An looked up at the sound and saw that it was the flying boat of the Law Enforcement Hall.

There were not many disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall on the boat, less than ten in total.

But each one of them had a cultivation level that was not weak, with the lowest being in the late Foundation Building stage, and the highest being in the Gold Core stage.

"Husband, it's people from the Law Enforcement Hall," said Shen Qingyi, a former disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, looking at the flying boat in the sky.

The others also looked up, but did not say anything.

"Dad, I want to ride the flying boat!"

Chen Yike walked to his father's side and grabbed his pants leg, tugging at it, shouting loudly.

Chen An hadn't responded yet, but Wen Zhiyun, who was beside him, glared at her silly daughter and scolded her.

"Sit your head!"

"..."

Chen Yike became timid and dared not speak again.

Seeing her pitiful and wronged appearance, Gu Xinyue felt sorry for her and gave her a piece of spirit cake to eat.

Chen Jiuli, who was still breastfeeding in her mother's arms, immediately opened her mouth and reached out her hand, saying in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to eat too!"

"You little glutton, isn't your mother's milk enough?"

Jiu Ji pinched her daughter's little cheek and spoke in a gentle and tender voice.

But Chen Jiuli refused and insisted on eating.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Xinyue also smiled and handed her a piece of rice cake to satisfy her craving.

"Husband, the flying boat is landing."

Song Huaying pointed outside the Cave Mansion with her hand, her voice sounding a bit nervous.

She was worried that something bad would happen.

Recently, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall had been searching everywhere, trying to expose all the remaining undercover agents.

But it was said that their methods were extreme, and many people were forced to confess, causing panic among the people.

Chen An saw the worry in his wives' eyes and smiled to reassure them, saying, "Don't worry, even if the Law Enforcement Hall comes, it has nothing to do with us. And even if it does, I can protect you."

Hearing this, his wives breathed a sigh of relief.

Many times, a simple reassurance could alleviate the tension.

Of course, there was a premise.

The premise was that the person comforting others had to be someone worth relying on.

And in the hearts of his wives, Chen An was the most reliable person in this world, without a doubt.

"Husband, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall are heading towards the house of Elder Lin next door. I wonder how Elder Lin and his family will be dealt with."

Gu Xinyue, who rarely spoke much, said.

In the past, when she was watching her daughters play outside the Cave Mansion, she got along well with the wives of Elder Lin's family, so she couldn't help but feel a bit worried when she saw that Elder Lin and his family were in trouble.

Wen Zhiyun snorted, "Yue'er, don't let your sympathy go to the wrong place. Elder Lin is an undercover agent for the Mysterious Yellow Sect. It would be best to deal with his family strictly."

Shen Qingyi disagreed, "I think family members should not be implicated in such matters. Dealing with Elder Lin alone should be enough."

Wen Zhiyun didn't agree with this idea, but since Shen Qingyi was older than her, she didn't argue.

But Chen An was different. He also didn't agree with Shen Qingyi's idea. As the head of the family, he directly expressed his own opinion, saying, "Qingyi, you can't say that."

"Lin, the steward, is an undercover agent, so it's likely that there are informants among his family members, maybe even undercover agents. They definitely need to be dealt with."

"Even if Lin's family members truly don't know that he is an undercover agent, they have all benefited from his undercover work. Now that Lin is in trouble, they will definitely have to share the hardships with him, rather than just enjoying the benefits."

"Is that what you're saying..."

Shen Qingyi couldn't accept this concept right away, but she still obediently nodded.

Unlike Wen Zhiyun, she never argued with Chen An.

While the group was discussing.

On the other side.

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall had already entered Lin's house and arrested all of Lin's family members in the Cave Mansion.

After counting, Lin's wives and children totaled over a hundred people.

Not one was missing.

On the day Lin was arrested, a confinement formation was placed on the Cave Mansion, preventing anyone inside from escaping.

"The steward of the Alchemy Hall is indeed impressive. The beautiful concubines in this house are truly enchanting, much more beautiful than my wife."

One disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall, while detaining one of Lin's concubines, leered at her buttocks and couldn't help but touch her.

Lin's concubine dared not speak out in anger and couldn't resist. She could only let him take advantage of her.

"Husband, that person is not following the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall. He's touching the family members of the prisoners."

Shen Qingyi couldn't bear to watch and wanted to intervene, but in the end, she calmed down and chose to report to Chen An.

Chen An had no intention of meddling in other people's affairs and said to Shen Qingyi, "Helping others is fine, but it shouldn't be taken advantage of."

"The other party is indeed not following the rules, but this is an unspoken rule that many people are aware of. As outsiders, it's best not to interfere too much."

"Unless the other party goes too far, or in other words, violates our interests."

Chen An's voice was gentle.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and remained silent at his words.

She was unhappy.

Seeing her unhappiness, Chen An smiled and comforted her, "When I establish my own sect in the future, I'll make you the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. You can set the rules then and manage things however you want."

"Husband, there's no need for that. In the end, I was being too meddlesome. It's not a good habit and I need to change."

Shen Qingyi didn't speak out of anger, but truly thought this way.

Chen An also knew that this was what she was thinking.

They didn't say anything.

They just quietly held each other's hands, feeling each other's warmth.

At this moment, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall were escorting Lin and his family past Chen An's Cave Mansion.

One observant disciple spotted Chen An and immediately respectfully greeted him, "Steward Chen."

Others followed suit and shouted, "Steward Chen."

"Hello, Steward Chen."

"..."

Due to his previous resolution of the water poisoning incident, Chen An's prestige in the Heaven and Earth Sect was high, and he was respected by many Human Venerables.

In response to these greetings, Chen An nodded and smiled.

He looked at the leading steward and asked in a friendly tone, "Steward Ge, I want to ask, how will the Law Enforcement Hall handle Lin's family members in the future?"

Steward Ge smiled and said, "The women will be sent to the Hehuan Hall, the men will be sent to the mines, and as for the children, their memories will be erased and they will be sent to the menial labor room to be trained as menial laborers. This is already a lenient treatment that Lin obtained by confessing. Otherwise, his family members would have no place to bury their bodies."

Upon hearing this, Chen An's wives showed sympathetic looks.

Many of them knew Lin's concubines, and now they were witnessing these familiar faces being sent to the Hehuan Hall to sell themselves for survival, which made them feel sorrowful.

Soon, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall left on their flying boats.

Chen Yike looked at the departing boats and tugged on his father's pants, asking, "Dad, where are Big Sweet Potato and Little Sweet Potato going?"

Big Sweet Potato and Little Sweet Potato were Lin's two young daughters. Chen Yike called them Big Sweet Potato and Little Sweet Potato because they looked sturdy, just like sweet potatoes, which was quite impolite.

Chen An kindly lied, "They're moving to a new place, to live somewhere else."

"Can I still play with them there?"

"Yes, when you grow up, you can play with them."

Chen An ruffled his silly daughter's head and answered with a gentle smile.

Chen Yike liked having his head ruffled by his father. It felt very comfortable.
