I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

The search conducted by the officials and soldiers was "lively". While onlookers were afraid, they were also filled with righteous indignation.

An elderly couple wiped away their tears as they helplessly watched the officials and soldiers ransack their home under the pretense of searching for thieves. Even though they personally witnessed soldiers stuffing their belongings into their own pockets, they dared not say anything.

Thieves come and go like a comb, soldiers come and go like a brush.

From this, it can be seen that the Great Yan Xian Dynasty is already showing signs of decline, and the military force lacks sufficient discipline.

Chu Shen maintained a calm expression as he watched the "thieves" who were practically ransacking the house, and he had a moment of realization.

"Sir, we haven't found any trace of the thief!"

After searching for a while, a squad leader ran to report loudly to the leading officer, and one could vaguely see something bulging in his arms.

The officer ignored him and instead looked at a person beside him, dressed in brocade clothing and wearing an ancient bronze mask with animal patterns: "Sir, nothing unusual was found here. The thieves left no trace, only this elderly couple living here, who also sell bamboo baskets and other items."

However, the masked person said, "I heard that this family also has a young lady and a maid. It was the maid who discovered the thief last night and scared them away with a scream. Why are they not here?"

The officer glared fiercely at the elderly couple.

The old man said, "Sir, my granddaughter is timid and in poor health. She needs rest. After being frightened last night, she didn't dare to stay in the place where the thief had caused a commotion, so she went to stay temporarily at our relatives' estate outside the city."

"Leaving so early, it's as if they were deliberately avoiding us. I'm afraid there's some hidden motive," the masked person clearly intended to cause trouble.

The old man had a worried expression on his face and said, "No, no, it's true that the child is timid. She couldn't sleep all night after being scared last night and insisted on leaving. I sent her away early this morning."

The masked man looked at the old man for a while, snorted, and walked into the courtyard himself. He looked here and there, as if searching for something.

Chu Shen understood a bit when he saw this. It seemed that these people were pretending to be thieves, but they were actually looking for someone. Moreover, the masked man felt somewhat familiar to him.

Among the onlookers, there were discerning people, and coupled with the fact that the soldiers were causing trouble and arousing resentment, the criticism gradually grew louder.

The military officer leading the team couldn't bear the humiliation and angrily shouted, "What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Let me see who has the loudest voice!"

The soldiers beside him also showed a fierce look and placed their hands on their sword hilts one after another.

The voices of the crowd quieted down, after all, the other side had weapons. But they were still very angry at these soldiers and thieves bullying people.

Fortunately, after the masked man searched for a while and found nothing, he waved his hand to signal the officer to disband the troops, preventing the situation from worsening.

However, the elderly couple was taken away. The masked man asked them to accompany the soldiers to the outskirts of the city to "understand the situation" of their granddaughter.

Chu Shen looked at the masked man's back and finally understood why he felt familiar. The thief who caused all this trouble last night had a back that was almost identical to his!

Suddenly, the masked man seemed to sense something and turned his head to look. He happened to meet Chu Shen's gaze.

Both of them narrowed their pupils, sensing an unusually sharp gaze from the other.

"Sir?"

The masked man suddenly stopped, causing the nearby officer to be puzzled. He asked a question, breaking the eye contact between the two.

"It's nothing. Let's still head outside the city."

As the officials and soldiers walked away, Chen Ying, who had come out to assess the situation, looked at Chu Shen and asked, "Husband, do you know that person?"

Chu Shen looked at the departing group of soldiers and said, "Do you know what it means when thieves cry 'catch the thief'?"

Chen Ying asked in confusion, "?"

Chu Shen smiled and said, "They are doing just that. The thief accusation is false, but they are here to find someone. That masked person came by last night, but somehow revealed their tracks and left in a hurry. Today, they've come in the disguise of an official."

Chen Ying didn't understand and asked, "Why go through all this trouble?"

"Perhaps there is a reason, but I don't know," Chu Shen said. "However, things have become a bit troublesome. That guy also has cultivation, and it seems like he has noticed that I have cultivation too."

Chen Ying was still a bit naive and asked curiously, "What's the trouble? Is cultivation illegal?"

Chu Shen turned and walked back into the house, saying, "Cultivation is not illegal, but the law is just a tool used as an excuse. When someone wants to cause trouble for you, they can always find a way to frame you."

Chen Ying wanted to ask more, but she was stopped by Chen Xiu. She said, "Chu Lu just told me that the masked person is probably an envoy from the Immortal Dynasty."

This time, Chen Ying understood.

The Embroidered Uniform Envoy, the direct subordinate of the Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, was a terrifying existence that made people tremble at the mere mention of it. It was synonymous with terror, leaving a trail of bloodshed and destruction wherever it went.

"Will we be in trouble?" she asked Zhao Chulu with some concern.

Although Zhao Chulu was quite knowledgeable about official affairs, he was unfamiliar with the Embroidered Uniform Envoy, as it was a power directly under the Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. I'm a little worried, just like you. But... it shouldn't be a problem, since we haven't done anything wrong."

By the way, you mentioned just now about cultivation. What is it all about?"

As a newcomer who had just entered the door, she hadn't yet been exposed to the benefits of cultivation in the Chu family.

Chen Ying and Chen Xiu didn't hide it from her and quietly told her about Chu Shen's practice of cultivating with the women.

Zhao Chulu's eyes widened in surprise and delight.

What? This husband of hers actually possesses heavenly secrets and understands the secrets of cultivation? And he's even willing to teach his concubines?

No wonder her grandfather was so "humble" and willing to let her become a concubine. Could it be that he had long sensed the opportunities brought by her husband?
