I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice
Chapter Seventy-Three
A malicious incident occurred, and the wilderness trial ended hastily.
Returning to Chongxue Peak, Chu Shen found Xiaohongling, who had also returned.
"People often say that beauty brings disaster. This time, I finally understand that troubles don't disappear, they just shift."
Killing those attackers didn't make him feel disgusted or nauseous. Instead, he felt a sense of wielding a sharp blade, a cruel excitement, and a strange exhilaration.
After venting his anger on Xiaohongling a few times, he managed to eliminate most of these residual emotions.
Although Xiaohongling felt ashamed, she also knew that the root of this matter lay with herself. After silently enduring his outburst, she slowly said, "Since you've encountered trouble, this time it's probably not an isolated incident."
"What do you mean?" Chu Shen didn't show the same pity towards her as he did towards Chen Xiu and Ning Xiangyue. Perhaps it was because their relationship had always been based on a transaction. Xiaohongling herself was resistant to becoming his possession completely. She was more like fulfilling some kind of obligation, above being just a sexual partner, a distant lover.
"The Sword Cultivation Academy's wilderness trial this time was too sudden. I didn't even bring all my equipment, but those attackers you mentioned were fully equipped, clearly prepared in advance."
Chu Shen became serious. "Are you saying that those people can actually manipulate the arrangement of the trial?"
Xiaohongling cleaned up her traces. "I don't know. It's the authority of the instructors to decide such matters. Those people shouldn't have that kind of ability."
If they did, it would be even more unbelievable. How could a group of Qi Refining stage individuals, who were like burdens, turn the tables and make the instructors, who were at least at the Gold Core stage, arrange things according to their wishes?
"What if they have someone behind them who can command the instructors?" Chu Shen could only propose one possible scenario.
Xiaohongling still shook her head. "I really don't know."
She's just a small shrimp, that's all.
"It's unbelievable, but we have to be cautious," Chu Shen pinched his chin and looked at Xiao Hongling. Although she had a beautiful appearance, it wasn't the kind that would attract the attention of a Gold Core cultivator. "By the way, it seems like you don't have that kind of value yet, to be able to attract certain people to mobilize a Gold Core cultivator."
Xiao Hongling's eye twitched. "I am aware of that."
But Chu Shen pulled her back after she had put on her clothes. "Anyway, just the thought that you might have the potential to attract a Gold Core cultivator makes me feel like I've struck gold."
Xiao Hongling wanted to bite him. "What nonsense are you talking about? If a Gold Core cultivator really took an interest in me, do I still need to sell myself to you?"
"Tsk tsk, sweet words from a small mouth, I like it."
After tidying up Xiao Hongling, Chu Shen took Bai Ying back home. Along the way, he pondered over the doubts she had mentioned, unable to figure them out.
Only when he arrived home did he find out that someone had tried to deceive his concubines while he was away.
Fortunately, he had been prepared for all possibilities beforehand, so his concubines stayed in the stronghold and didn't go out, thus remaining undefeated. It could be said that the anti-fraud education they received on Blue Star was quite successful.
"That despicable thing... I'll go and find out the situation!"
He was planning to go to the residence of the law enforcement disciples of the Chongxueji. If possible, he would give that scoundrel a beating first.
"No need to go, the matter has already been resolved."
A voice accompanied by a familiar sound came down from the sky, and it was none other than Forgotten Dust, who was drinking.
"Brother Forgotten Dust!"
After realizing that Xiao Hongling might bring him unknown trouble, Chu Shen thought carefully. It seemed that among the people he knew in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, Wangchen was the closest and the most powerful. So he ran to the vicinity of the gate of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace to look for Wangchen.
And he actually found him.
Before he could mention the matter of compensation, Wangchen had already taken on the responsibility of dealing with the situation. This was also a major guarantee for Chu Shen's family's safety.
Now that Wangchen appeared and said the matter was resolved, it could only mean...
"Is it Yuantao?" Chu Shen asked.
Wangchen nodded. "I caught him in the act. You don't have to worry about this venomous snake trying to bite anyone again. Because of his heinous actions and being caught red-handed, he won't even be given the punishment of expulsion. He will be directly sent to Xinxiandai."
"He's already dead?" Chu Shen was somewhat astonished.
Wangchen nodded. "A person with such malicious intentions definitely won't be spared."
Saying that, he explained Yuantao's plan to Chu Shen.
Chu Shen became furious. "He deserved to die!"
"It's even worse," Wangchen sneered. "Yuantao has poor aptitude, cultivation, and character. His malicious intentions are extremely cunning. Even before he targeted you, he had already used these methods to harm several scholars, seizing their wealth and resources. When the law enforcement disciples came to his door, they found a lot of evidence of his crimes and even saved several innocent women who were under his control."
There is no Chinese text provided.
I always feel like there's something bigger behind this. Yuantao is just unlucky, he happens to know, or maybe others think he knows, so they want him to keep quiet.
Forgotten Dust looked at his expression and asked, "What? Still not satisfied?"
Chu Shen quickly shook his head, "No, I just feel like this is too easy for him, I didn't even get to beat him up myself!"
If his suspicion is correct, then within the range of Chongxue Peak and other areas outside of Langhun Heavenly Palace, there is a dangerous force operating in secret. In this case, who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted becomes a big problem.
Although Wang Chen seems like a good person and has been helpful this time, Chu Shen still decides it's better to play dumb: "By the way, what about his shameless sons? Where are they? I can beat them up to vent my anger!" (Wang is good) Wang Chen doesn't know his thoughts and laughs, saying, "No need for that. These guys, just like Yuan Tao, who are full of evil deeds, have been brought to justice.
Those women who were rescued have suffered a lot of abuse from them. How can we let these beasts escape punishment?"
Chu Shen becomes even more certain of his suspicions but sighs with regret: "That's really a pity. These bastards laid hands on my family, and I can't personally take revenge. It's really unsatisfying."
Forget Dust laughed heartily, "If you're not feeling well, just have a drink. Everyone in this world can deceive you, except for good wine!"
Chu Shen crossed his arms and made a "what" gesture, "I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you on this one, because I don't drink."
Forget Dust laughed even louder, "Then you haven't yet realized the benefits of good wine. When you do, I'll come find you for a drink."
With that, he soared into the sky on his flying sword, laughing and drinking as he flew far away...
