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

Chu Shen left, but the middle-aged cultivator remained motionless.

Before long, several cultivators rushed out and asked the middle-aged cultivator, "Fellow Daoist Yuantao, why did you let that kid go so easily? What about Xiaohongling's matter?"

"It's over..." Yuantao said dejectedly.

The others didn't understand.

"What do you mean?"

Yuantao sighed and raised a cloth bag in his hand. "That despicable person has found a powerful backer. Her debt has been paid off by someone."

The others were shocked.

"That's five hundred low-grade spirit stones!"

"Yes, five hundred, not a single one less," Yuantao said with a gloomy expression. "Here are five medium-grade spirit stones. Isn't it the same as five hundred low-grade spirit stones?"

The others looked at each other, never expecting that such a large sum of money could be easily paid off by someone else.

No wonder this middle-aged cultivator named Yuantao was so dejected. They had put in so much effort to set up a scheme, only to be outdone by someone else so easily... It was truly a blow.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred. Money really could make one do whatever they wanted.

"Damn it, is that all?" someone couldn't accept it.

For these people, using such methods was not just a matter of being unscrupulous, but also had very cold and harsh practical reasons.

Taking Yuantao as an example, he appeared to be middle-aged, but in reality, he was already over a hundred years old. As a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he didn't have much lifespan left.

And there is no one in his family to succeed him, no one with enough qualifications to take over.

Once his lifespan is over, it can be foreseen that the family will definitely be expelled and fall into the mortal world.

That's why he had a crooked idea, seizing the opportunity of Xiao Hongling's poisoning incident, and designed a loan scam, trying to use this highly qualified woman to give birth to an excellent child who can support the family.

More than half of the others have the same reason.

There is also a part who thinks that the possibility of the success of this scheme is high, and participating in it has benefits, similar to investment.

The latter is easier to say, although regretful, they don't have the intention to break the fishnet.

But it's hard to say for the former, at least some of them have the idea of using force, and their faces have become fierce.

Yuan Tao's face turned pale and then red, finally sighing: "Then what else can we do?"

"What's the use of money? Kill him, then his money will be ours," someone said with a sinister smile.

"And Xiao Hongling, does she really think that someone helping her exchange the money means the debt is written off? I want to kill her!" someone said with envy, especially jealous that Chu Shen took down Xiao Hongling's first blood.

"That person who helped Xiao Hongling repay her debt seems to be called Chu Shen? He's been quite prominent recently, I heard his family also has many beautiful wives and concubines..." someone instigated.

"But how do you plan to do it?" someone remained rational and poured cold water on them.

Yuan Tao glanced at the person who was calmly thinking and sighed, "Yeah, he's from an alchemy academy, not the same as us."

Upon hearing his hint, someone's eyes lit up, "So what if he's from an alchemy academy? They don't spend all their time holed up in the academy, they also need to go on trials. When the time comes..."

A conspiracy gradually took shape, some felt uneasy, some thought it was feasible, and after disagreements arose, someone finally left, while others decided to carry it out.

Yuan Tao sneered inwardly.

He didn't have much time left. He had missed Xiao Hongling and didn't know when the next opportunity would come.

Although Chu Shen seemed difficult to deal with, at this point, he could only take a gamble!

After Chu Shen received Bai Ying and returned home, he felt something on the way and cast a divination when he got home.

He learned this from Cheng Suwei. Although it wasn't as accurate as hers, occasionally there would be some insights.

This time, when he cast the divination, it turned out to be an "ominous" hexagram. Even though he knew the accuracy wasn't high, he still felt a bit alarmed.

"Ominous? Where could the ominousness be?"

Just then, Chen Ying shouted, "Husband, it's time to eat!"

Chu Shen saw the well-fed cat maid after giving birth and suddenly had an idea.

At the dining table, he said to the women, "Recently, everyone in the family should be more alert, take good care of the children and pregnant women, especially those like Wen Juan and Ling Yu who haven't cultivated much."

Seeing his serious expression, the concubines became a bit nervous.

"Husband, what happened?" Chen Xiu asked worriedly.

Chu Shen explained the situation with Xiao Hongling, "I ruined their plans. I originally thought that they would be deterred by the prestige of Langxun Heavenly Palace and nothing would happen, but just now I cast a divination and the result wasn't very good. Maybe I made a wrong estimation."

"How could that be? Langxun Heavenly Palace is a sacred place!"

The concubines, who already had some understanding of the cultivation world, couldn't believe it and started discussing it.

Chu Shen, however, said, "At first, I thought the same way, but then I realized it was wrong. While Xiao Hongling's situation may have its own causes and effects, the lending and borrowing matter has stirred up too much trouble, especially the person who came to me today. It's obvious they wanted to vent their anger.

Anyone who can orchestrate this situation is not a good person. They may appear to be influenced by Langhun Heavenly Palace on the surface, but in private?"

He looked at the concubines and said, "I'm not worried about myself. Even if I can't win, I can always run away, especially with Bai Ying by my side. Xiao Hongling is also fine. The fact that she can owe so much debt and still be unharmed indicates that she is safe.

When you calculate everything, the weak point is only you all, especially among you, there are mortals without cultivation, and they are all women and children."

Chen Ying clenched her fist unhappily and coldly said, "If anyone thinks we are easy to bully, they have made a mistake!"

The awakening of her half-demon bloodline has caused her a lot of inconvenience, but it has also given her great power. At this moment, with the assistance of her bloodline, her strength is already equivalent to the sixth level of Qi Refining. She feels invincible in the mortal realm, and she is a bit arrogant.

Chu Shen knocked on the table and said, "What I'm worried about is your careless and arrogant attitude. Can you really fight? How many battles have you fought? Do you know the strength of those who set up the trap for Xiao Hongling?"

Chen Ying remained silent and obediently continued eating.

Seeing this, Chu Shen said to the women, "I trust you all when you're at home. It's difficult for any malicious incidents to occur in a city like Chongxueji with the enforcement disciples of Langhun Heavenly Palace. However, once you leave Chongxueji, especially if you're far away, it's not safe anymore. Remember, no matter what happens, you must not leave the city. Do you understand?"

"We understand!" the women obediently agreed.

Chu Shen then said, "That's not enough. I feel too passive. Tomorrow, I will go find Xiao Hongling and gather more detailed information. Those guys are not good people either. They must have a lot of debts. If we can catch them, it would be best to drive them away!"

The women, however, looked skeptical.

Feeling a bit arrogant lately, Zhao Chulu, who had been taught a lesson, couldn't help but say, "Husband, you don't think the grass is greener on the other side and want to have some fun with that Hongling, do you?"
