Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 223: Xiao Qingyue's Warning (22)

Several days later.

Chen An was playing with his daughters in the Cave Mansion.

Mainly, he was playing with his third daughter, Chen Jiuli, in order to improve their father-daughter relationship.

"Chen steward!"

"Are you inside the Cave Mansion?"

"Please come with us!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the Cave Mansion.

Chen An spread his divine sense and saw the people from the Law Enforcement Hall outside, as well as the stewards Zhang, Huang, and He from the neighborhood.

Without much thought, he briefly informed his wives and concubines and then used earth escape to leave.

He arrived outside.

He learned that the people from the Law Enforcement Hall had come to take them to the hall for questioning.

The reason was that the four of them, along with Steward Lin, were alchemists who entered at the same time, and there was suspicion that one of them was a spy.

Before long, the group arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall by flying boat.

Under the guidance of a steward from the Law Enforcement Hall, the four of them entered an interrogation room and were asked to sit and wait.

"This time, Lin Dong really messed us up. How did we end up in this unjust disaster?" Huang steward said unhappily, cursing Steward Lin who was already imprisoned.

He steward sighed, "I never expected that Steward Lin would be a spy sent by the Mysterious Yellow Sect. The Heaven and Earth Sect has been infiltrated to this extent?"

Zhang steward said, "Don't judge a book by its cover. There might be a spy among us, but they just hide it better."

Chen An remained silent, waiting quietly for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to come and question them.

But after a moment, two graceful figures walked into the interrogation room from outside.

It was Sect Master Xiao Qingyue and Saintess Ning Xian'er.

Chen An looked up and his gaze happened to meet Ning Xian'er's.

Ning Xian'er quickly averted her gaze, not wanting to show her concern for Chen An.

Xiao Qingyue noticed her disciple's unusual behavior, but didn't say much. She just glanced at Chen An in front of her.

She sat down in front of Chen An and the others, took out a disc, and placed it on the interrogation table. Her voice was cold as she said, "This is a high-level Law Weapon that can discern the truth of speech. It is effective against cultivators below Nascent Soul stage."

"Now, I will ask you questions. If anyone dares to lie, I will make them wish they were dead."

"Now, the interrogation begins."

With that, Xiao Qingyue infused spiritual energy into the disc in front of her.

In the next moment, the previously dim disc instantly emitted a dazzling light.

"The first question, are you spies planted by the Mysterious Yellow Sect?"

Xiao Qingyue's question was simple and direct, with a strong focus.

Facing this question, Chen An and the other three stewards shook their heads to deny it.

After waiting for a moment without any response from the disc, Xiao Qingyue proceeded to the next question:

"The second question, have you colluded with the spies planted by the Mysterious Yellow Sect in the Heaven and Earth Sect?"

In response to this question, Chen An continued to shake his head in denial.

Huang steward also shook his head.

Zhang steward also shook his head.

However, He steward was so nervous that his hands trembled, remaining silent without answering.

Xiao Qingyue narrowed her phoenix eyes and coldly said to a hidden sect cultivator beside her, "Zhang San, take him to the torture room."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The hidden sect cultivator responded, and in an instant, he drew out a binding immortal rope and bound He steward, dragging him into the torture room.

The action was so fast that He steward couldn't even react and fell to his knees begging for mercy.

"Chen, you may stay, Huang and Zhang, the two of you may leave," Xiao Qingyue said coldly.

Huang and Zhang, feeling as if they had been granted amnesty, respectfully bid their farewells and quickly left.

They were both curious as to why the Sect Master wanted to keep Chen An alone, but they didn't dare to stay and inquire. They just wanted to leave quickly to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Xian'er, I leave the interrogation of He to you. Don't disappoint me," Xiao Qingyue said, looking at Ning Xian'er.

Ning Xian'er replied, "Yes," and then quickly walked towards the torture chamber.

At the moment she entered the chamber, she couldn't help but glance back at Chen An and Xiao Qingyue before stepping inside. She was puzzled as to why Xiao Qingyue wanted to keep Chen An alone, but she didn't dare to ask.

In her heart, Xiao Qingyue was not only a master but also a strict mother figure.

"Chen Dan, let's talk privately," Xiao Qingyue said to Chen An, her voice as cold as ever.

No, even colder than before.

The first time Chen An met Xiao Qingyue, her tone was filled with admiration. But now, her tone was extremely indifferent.

Soon, Chen An and Xiao Qingyue arrived at a secluded grove.

Xiao Qingyue set up a soundproof barrier in the grove and with her enchanting phoenix eyes, she said, "Chen, do you know why I wanted to talk to you alone?"

"I don't know," Chen An replied calmly.

Although his tone was respectful, there was no longer the humility he had shown before.

This was the result of his increased strength.

Now, with just a flick of his finger, Chen An could kill Xiao Qingyue. There was no need for him to show her excessive respect anymore.

Xiao Qingyue also sensed that Chen An was no longer as respectful as before. She remained composed on the surface, but deep down, she felt displeased and her impression of Chen An worsened.

Without wasting any words, she went straight to the point, "The Saintess's emotions have been affected by you. I hope you can stay away from her and not develop any feelings for her."

Perhaps as a retaliation for Chen An's previous refusal to accept the position of Elder, as well as his disrespectful tone just now, she added with a hint of disdain, "You are just a lowly Sect Elder, you are not worthy of the Saintess."

Chen An simply smiled and didn't say anything in response.

Xiao Qingyue didn't care whether he agreed or not. She was only responsible for conveying this message.

If Chen An didn't comply, as the Sect Master, she had means to deal with him and make him regret it.

"Chen, I hope you will remember my words," Xiao Qingyue said before leaving on her flying sword, heading towards the outer area.

Chen An looked up at her retreating figure, unabashedly admiring her alluring figure, and smiled, "I'm not worthy of the Saintess? We'll see when you get jealous of her in the future."

...

Cave Mansion for Elders, "Stability" Cave Mansion.

As soon as Chen An landed on his flying sword, he saw his wives waiting anxiously at the entrance of the Cave Mansion.

"Husband!" Song Huaying, who was standing on the outermost side, immediately called out with joy, her voice as melodious as a bird.

The other four wives also followed suit, calling out "Husband" one after another, their faces filled with smiles.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

The family sat around the dining table, enjoying their meal and chatting.

Chen An's wives were all curious about why he was taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Chen An briefly explained that he and the other three Elders were implicated by Elder Lin and had to undergo questioning.

In the end, Elder He, who lived on the outermost side, was found to have a problem and would likely face the same fate as Elder Lin.

Upon hearing this, his wives couldn't help but sigh, thinking that there were too many undercover agents in the Heaven and Earth Sect.
