Sister takes space and bravely enters the world of cultivation

As dusk approached, they returned to the inn with the last rays of sunset, exchanged a few words with the waiter, and then went back to their room to rest.

The two of them didn't know that as soon as they went upstairs, someone came in behind them and asked the shopkeeper about Fu Ling'er's background.

The man was a bit thin, probably around 40 years old. His facial features were regular, and he should have an honest look, but he had a mustache. This ruined his honest look. Especially when he walked, the mustache would tremble with his steps, just like two clever little caterpillars playing and fighting on his lips.

This look seems a bit funny, but it also reveals a bit of shrewdness and competence.

None of these are important. What is important is the "Hai" badge on his left chest. This is Hai Dahe, the outer sect manager of the Hai family.

The shopkeeper naturally knew him, and when he saw Hai Dahe coming, he immediately went to greet him. Through the conversation, he learned that Hai Dahe came to inquire about Fu Linger's situation.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but after Hai Dahe's repeated urging, he told Hai Dahe about Fu Ling'er's situation.

"Husband and wife? You said those two are husband and wife? Does that mean they are married?"

"Yes, Mr. Hai, please don't spread what I said, otherwise my job will be in jeopardy."

"Tsk, the City Lord's Mansion property is also under the management of the Hai family. It's not a big deal. Look how anxious you are. Okay, I'll go back first." Hai Dahe glanced at the timid shopkeeper, curled his lips, and left.

Hai Dahe rushed all the way back to the Hai family, but he was still struggling in his mind whether he should report to the eldest master when he encountered Fu Ling'er. After all, she was a married woman.

The eldest young master is such a good man, only a pure and innocent girl can be worthy of him.

The head of the family made such a big fuss to find a wife for the eldest young master this time because he couldn't bear to see him indulge in the past.

Damn it, it was all Ling Lanya's fault. She actually did such a shameless thing, making the young master a joke in the entire Western Region and making him suffer from criticism. The young master forced himself to smile and calmly deal with it in front of others every day, but he was getting more and more depressed behind the scenes. In private, the smile on his face disappeared. It was as if he had lost the ability to smile, and he locked himself in Chunhuayuan and refused to come out.

The head of the family felt sorry for the eldest young master, so he organized a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, just to let the Ling family see that even without Ling Lanya, there were still thousands of good women waiting for his eldest young master to choose.

These elders of the Hai family have watched the eldest young master grow up, so how could they bear to make him suffer?

So, when he went out, he would keep an eye out for women on the street, and if he saw one with particularly outstanding looks, he would ask whether she was a good daughter from an honest family, and then specially invite the woman to participate in a competition to win a hand in marriage.

When he saw Fu Ling'er on the street today, he was stunned by her beauty for a moment, but Wanqi Yuan next to her made him hesitate. A woman like this who flirted with a man on the street was not worthy of his eldest master.

But he couldn't bear to give up Fu Ling'er's stunning beauty, which was much more beautiful than Ling Lan'ya. So far, he had never met a woman more beautiful than the woman just now.

So, he went to the inn and inquired about the woman's situation, but the result was disappointing. She was already married.

Hai Dahe struggled all the way back to the Hai family, and went to the study to report the results of the inspection to the head of the family. After the report, Hai Dahe still looked like he was about to say something, which made the head of the Hai family glance at him lightly.

"Anything else you haven't finished talking about?"

"Master, I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"Is it difficult? What is it that has you so troubled? You are not always such a gentle person."

"Master, this is what happened. Today, I was at Xinglin Street..." Hai Dahe told him about his encounter with Fu Ling'er, and also mentioned that she was married.

"She's already a fallen woman, and you're still making a fuss about it? My son won't allow women like this to get close to him. Stop meddling in other people's business. Go and see if those ladies from noble families that I specially invited have arrived.

Don't worry about the rest. As for Ye'er... forget it, I'll go check on her later. You go down first."

"Yes, Master, I will take my leave now."

When the head of the Hai family thought of his son, he felt unhappy. He hoped that this time he could find someone that his son liked. He could no longer be depressed and decadent because of a woman. If he continued like this, he would soon be ruined. That was the heir to the family head whom he had carefully cultivated. How could he be ruined by a woman?

Thinking of this, the head of the Hai family wished he could whip the bitch Ling Lanya to death. How could a stinky girl dare to bring such a great shame to his Hai family? It was simply abominable.

How could half of the compensation for the Ling family's property offset the humiliation his son suffered? Just wait and see. When this storm is over, he will definitely not let the Ling family off and will drive them out of Haiqing City.

At this moment, in the remote Chunhua Courtyard of the Hai family mansion. It is five or six kilometers away from the main mansion, and it can be said that this is an independent courtyard. The back of the courtyard is close to the main street of the North District. People usually come in and out from here. Only the eldest master of the Hai family lives here. He likes quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed, so there is no one here except the eldest master's attendant and a few guards.

At this time, in a secluded corner of Chunhua Courtyard, there was a gloomy and terrifying dark cell. The dark cell was filled with a disgusting smell of blood and decay, and the dim light made the whole space seem particularly depressing.

In front of the dark cell, Hai Ye, with a ferocious face and fierce eyes, was waving a long whip covered with barbs in his hand, lashing the person who was firmly tied to the rack again and again. Every time the whip fell, there was a sound of tearing flesh and a painful groan from the person being tortured.

Hai Ye kept spewing vicious and ferocious curses, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and hatred in his heart through these words. His face, twisted by rage, looked even more terrifying under the weak candlelight.

Looking at the man who was beaten, he was covered in blood, and his originally strong body was covered with scars and blood. He lowered his head, as if he was unable to raise it, and the fire of life gradually dimmed under this cruel torture. However, even though he was treated so cruelly, the man still gritted his teeth, said nothing, and silently endured all the pain. After a while, there was no movement, and it was obvious that he had fainted.

Hai Ye felt bored, so he slowly turned his gaze to the rack on the left.

There was a woman tied up here, and her miserable state was unbearable to look at. She had been tortured beyond recognition, and it was impossible to tell what she looked like originally.
