Chapter 77: Internal Strife in the Golden Core (1/3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, Zhu Tiancheng, walked over.

His cultivation level of the third level of Foundation Establishment was directly released by spiritual pressure without reservation.

Along the way, the Qi Refinement Cultivators passing by felt very nervous.

This had nothing to do with courage, but due to the natural suppression of the Foundation Establishment realm.

“Qingyi…”

Pan Hui, whose cultivation was only at the third level of Qi Refining, couldn’t withstand the spiritual pressure emitted by Sect Master Zhu. Her legs were already weak, and her hands were trembling non-stop.

“Sect Master Zhu, put away your spiritual pressure.”

Shen Qingyi put down the spirit cake in her hand and looked at Sect Master Zhu coldly.

When Sect Master Zhu heard this, he hurriedly retracted his spiritual pressure and smiled apologetically and kindly. “All, I’m sorry. As the leader of a gang, I need some dignity. I’ll always habitually release some pressure. I’m sure you can understand.”

As he spoke, his image changed from being domineering to cheeky. He looked like an easy-going person.

“What are you doing here?” Shen Qingyi asked coldly.

Sect Master Zhu gave Pan Hui a look and asked her to get up and leave. Then, he sat beside Shen Qingyi and said with a smile, “Qingyi, what are you saying? We grew up together since we were young. Moreover, I’m your fiance now. Other than coming here to see you, what else am 1 here for?”

“Don’t get too close to me. Men and women shouldn’t have physical contact with each other.”

Shen Qingyi’s words were very distant and didn’t care about Sect Master Zhu’s face at all.

Sect Master Zhu didn’t mind and continued to chat and laugh with his fiancee.

Seeing this scene, Chen An could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

He’d thought that Sect Master Zhu was here to denounce Shen Qingyi.

This was because Shen Qingyi had recently killed many people in the Bamboo

Leaf Forest, including many members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

However, he hadn’t expected Shen Qingyi to be Sect Master Zhu’s fiancee.

Moreover, from the conversation between the two, Sect Master Zhu seemed to be a bootlicker. He had been fawning over Shen Qingyi from the beginning to the end.

Then, it was fine if the Cultivators of the Bamboo Leaf Gang died. They could only admit that they were unlucky.

After knowing the relationship between Shen Qingyi and Sect Master Zhu, Chen An could not help but feel a little melancholic.

Not only was she a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, but she was also the fiancee of the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang. Her background was terrifying.

Currently, he was only a poor Alchemist. The difference in their family background is like the sky and the earth. This was probably a little difficult to deal with.

Still…

In front of me, she did not have the concept of men and women not touching each other. Just now, she had said to the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang that men and women should not touch each other and told him to stay away from her.

Did this mean that she was actually interested in me?

No, this was most likely an illusion.

Perhaps Shen Qingyi simply hated the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

No matter what, he had to stay away from Shen Qingyi in the future to avoid being hated by the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

In just a short moment, Chen An’s mind was filled with many thoughts.

“By the way, Qingyi, I’ve been a little powerless in the war with the Black Iron Manor recently. Can you help me?”

Picking up the cup that Pan Hui had drunk from, Sect Master Zhu took a small sip of the spirit wine and said with a worried expression.

When Pan Hui saw this, her face turned a little red. She thought to herself, Why is this Sect Master Zhu using someone else’s cup? Does he have no sense of etiquette?

Chen An was also observing Sect Master Zhu’s words and actions. He wanted to know as much as possible about the other party’s character.

After all, he was now a resident of the Bamboo Leaf Forest. It was necessary for him to understand the landlord’s personality.

Shen Qingyi looked at Sect Master Zhu and said in a distant tone, “Sect Master Zhu, the war between you and the Black Iron Manor is essentially an internal strife between your father, Elder Zhu, and the other party’s father, Elder Hong. As the disciple of the other elders, it’s not convenient for me to interfere. Please leave.”

“You’re my fiancee. How can it be inconvenient for you to interfere?”

Sect Master Zhu frowned slightly and gradually said with dissatisfaction, “Qingyi, we grew up together in the Xuanhuang Sect and are as close as siblings. When we get married in the future, our relationship will be stronger than gold. It’s reasonable for you to help me. What can the others of the Xuanhuang Sect say?”

I’m tired. I’m going to rest. Sect Master Zhu, please go back.”

After saying this, Shen Qingyi stood up and walked upstairs. Her attitude towards Sect Master Zhu was not as friendly as it was towards a stranger like Chen An.

“Sigh, my relationship has faded after all.”

Sect Master Zhu looked at Shen Qingyi’s back as she went upstairs and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

After that, he did not stay any longer and left the Treasure Hall with the few people accompanying him.

“Alchemist Chen, Qing Yi is actually the fiancee of the Bamboo Leaf Gang’s leader?!”

Pan Hui was shocked and her face was filled with disbelief.

Although Chen An was also surprised, he did not find it strange.

What concerned him the most was what Shen Qingyi had just said to Sect Master Zhu.

The war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Manor was essentially an internal strife between the two Golden Core elders of the Xuanhuang Sect?

This was good news.

If it was an internal strife, it meant that the war between the two gangs would most likely not evolve to a life and death situation.

In other words, the winner would not kill the loser.

The final outcome should be that the loser would be signed an unequal truce by the winner.

Thinking of this, Chen An felt more at ease than ever.

Then, he quickly left the Treasure Hall. He was in a hurry to go home for dinner.

When Chen An returned home, he saw Wen Zhiyun teaching Chen Yuejian how to draw Qi into her body in the front courtyard.

He was not surprised by this scene.

Usually, Wen Zhiyun often felt that it was a pity that she cultivated too late and fell too far behind others. Otherwise, she would have already reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

She said that when her child was born in the future, she would definitely cultivate them from young for them to get a headstart in life.

“Father!”

As soon as Chen An returned, Chen Yuejian’s eyes lit up and she ran over.

However, when she saw that Chen An was empty-handed, her big eyes instantly dimmed.

This little girl was quite realistic… Chen An smiled bitterly in his heart.

Usually, when he came back, he would bring some small gifts for his wife and daughter. Today, he had accidentally forgotten to bring them. His daughter’s eyes were dim and she did not even call for a hug.

It was really a little disappointing.

“Husband, an old Cultivator sent a spiritual fish over today. He said that you bought it in the morning and asked him to send it home when he closed the stall.”

Gu Xinyue walked out of the kitchen and said.

As Chen An tidied her messy bangs, he said, “Yes, I bought it and asked him to send it over. I plan to use half of it for soup and to steam the other half.”

After saying that, he asked, “Yue’er, you haven’t used this spiritual fish to cook, right?”

“Not yet, Husband.”

“That’s perfect. I’ll go into the kitchen and teach you how to do it.”

“Ok, sorry to trouble you, Husband.”

“Let’s go.”

As Chen An spoke, he reached out to hug Gu Xinyue’s slender waist and brought her to the kitchen at the front.

His daughter, Chen Yuejian, didn’t follow him. She continued to stay in the front yard to learn how to draw Qi into her body, but for some reason, she kept hearing someone calling for her father in the kitchen.

An hour later, dinner was ready.

Chen An tidied Gu Xinyue’s apron and carried the food to the hall with her.

Not long after, the family of five sat together.

They enjoyed the food beautifully.

While drinking the spirit fish soup, Wen Zhiyun said to Gu Xinyue, “By the way, Yue’er, for breakfast tomorrow, you don’t have to make my share of fried dough sticks and soy milk. 1’11 just eat porridge.”

“Alright, 1 understand.”

Gu Xinyue nodded. She was puzzled, but she didn’t ask further.

However, Song Huaying, who had always been curious, was different. She immediately said with a puzzled expression, “Sister Wen, you usually like to eat fried dough sticks and drink soy milk the most. Why do you suddenly not want to eat anymore? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I eat it every day. I’m tired of it.”

Wen Zhiyun took a sip of fish soup and said calmly.

When Chen An heard this, he chuckled and said, “If you’re tired of drinking soy milk, drink more fish soup. This is something 1 personally taught Yue’er to make. The soup is very clear and fresh. Drinking more is good for your skin.”

Hearing him say this, Wen Zhiyun looked down at the milky white fish soup in her bowl and suddenly lost her appetite.

“By the way, did you guys see the photographic stone I placed on your bed this morning?”

Chen An suddenly thought of this and asked his three wives.

Song Huaying lowered her head and drank her soup without saying a word.

Gu Xinyue blushed.

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at him and turned her head away, ignoring him.

His three wives ignored him because they felt very embarrassed.

Fortunately, his daughter, Chen Yuejian, was wearing a little cotton-padded jacket. She took the initiative to talk to him and said in a soft voice, “Father, I want to eat fish eyeballs. Help me pick them up!”

“Come, Daddy will give it to you.”

Chen An carried his daughter from his wife’s arms and smiled as he picked up fish eyes for her to eat.

After dinner, he took his wife and daughter for a walk in the courtyard.

Chen An quickly found a place to sit down. With a thought, he opened the interface to check the data.

The Sleepy Time Spell was about to be upgraded.

He had to coax his daughter to sleep while she was still young.

Otherwise, when she’s all grown up in the future, he would not have so many chances to coax her, Chen An thought to himself..
