Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 78 Gold Core Infighting (13)

Chapter 78: Internal Strife in Gold Core (13)

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

With a cultivation level reaching the third level of Foundation Building, he released his spiritual pressure without reservation.

As he walked, the Qi Refining cultivators along the way felt extremely nervous.

This had nothing to do with courage, but rather the natural suppression of Qi Refining Stage by the Foundation Building Stage.

"Qingyi..."

Pan Hui, who only had a cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining, couldn't bear the spiritual pressure emanating from Zhu Tiancheng. Her legs were already weak, and her hands were trembling slightly.

"Leader Zhu, please retract your spiritual pressure."

Shen Qingyi put down the spiritual cake in her hand and looked at Zhu Tiancheng with a cold gaze.

Zhu Tiancheng quickly retracted his spiritual pressure and smiled apologetically, "Ah, I'm sorry. As the leader of a gang, I need to show some authority. I tend to release some pressure habitually. I believe Qingyi can understand."

As he said this, his image suddenly changed from being imposing to looking mischievous, as if he were a very easygoing person.

"Why are you here?"

Shen Qingyi asked coldly.

Zhu Tiancheng gave Pan Hui a look, asking her to leave, and then sat down next to Shen Qingyi, smiling, "Qingyi, what you said... We grew up together since childhood, and now we're engaged. Besides coming to see you, what else could I be here for?"

"Don't get too close to me. There should be a distance between men and women."

Shen Qingyi said this with a sense of distance, without considering Zhu Tiancheng's face.

Zhu Tiancheng didn't mind and continued to talk and laugh with his fiancée.

Seeing this scene, Chen An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, he thought that Zhu Tiancheng had come to confront Shen Qingyi.

Because recently, Shen Qingyi had killed many people in the Bamboo Leaf Forest, including many members of the Bamboo Leaf Gang. This undoubtedly slapped Zhu Tiancheng's face.

But unexpectedly, Shen Qingyi turned out to be Zhu Tiancheng's fiancée.

And from their conversation, it seemed that Zhu Tiancheng was a bootlicker, constantly trying to please Shen Qingyi.

Those Qi Refining cultivators from the Bamboo Leaf Gang who died were just unlucky.

After learning about Shen Qingyi's relationship with Zhu Tiancheng, Chen An couldn't help but feel a little melancholic.

Not only was she a disciple of the Mysterious Yellow Sect, but she was also the fiancée of the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang. Her background was intimidating.

He himself was currently just a poor alchemist, completely mismatched with her. It would be difficult to win her over.

However...

She doesn't have the concept of distance between men and women in front of me, but she just told the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang that there should be a distance between men and women, asking him to stay away from her.

Does this mean that she actually has feelings for me?

No, this is probably one of life's three major illusions.

Perhaps, Shen Qingyi simply dislikes the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

Regardless, I should keep my distance from Shen Qingyi in the future, so as not to be resented by the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

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

"By the way, Qingyi, I've been struggling in the war with Black Iron Mountain Villa recently. Can you lend me a hand?"

Picking up the cup that Pan Hui had drunk from, the leader Zhu took a small sip of spirit wine and had a worried expression on his face.

Seeing this, Pan Hui's face turned slightly red, thinking to herself how impolite the leader Zhu was for using someone else's cup without any sense of etiquette.

Chen An also observed the words and actions of the leader Zhu in front of him, trying to understand the person as much as possible.

After all, he was now a resident of the Bamboo Leaf Forest, so it was necessary to understand the character of the landlord.

Shen Qingyi looked at the leader Zhu with a somewhat unfamiliar tone and said, "Leader Zhu, the war between you and Black Iron Mountain Villa is essentially a power struggle between your father, Elder Zhu, and the other party's father, Elder Hong. As a disciple of the other elders, it is not convenient for me to intervene. Please leave."

"You are my fiancée, how can it be inconvenient for you to intervene?"

The leader Zhu frowned slightly, and his face gradually became displeased. "Qingyi, we grew up together in the Mysterious Yellow Sect, like siblings. When we get married in the future, our love will be stronger than anything. It is reasonable for you to help me. What can the others in the Mysterious Yellow Sect say?"

"I'm tired and want to rest. Leader Zhu, please leave."

After saying this, Shen Qingyi got up and walked upstairs, treating the stranger Chen An more friendly than the leader Zhu.

"Ah, in the end, the feelings have faded."

The leader Zhu looked at Shen Qingyi's figure going upstairs and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

After that, he didn't stay any longer and left the Treasure Shop with a few companions.

"Master Chen, Shen Qingyi is actually the fiancée of the leader of the Bamboo Leaf Gang?!"

Pan Hui was shocked and had an incredulous expression on her face.

Although Chen An was also surprised, he didn't think it was that rare.

What he was most concerned about at the moment was what Shen Qingyi had just said to the leader Zhu.

The war between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and Black Iron Mountain Villa is essentially a power struggle between two Gold Core elders of the Mysterious Yellow Sect?

This is good news.

If it's a power struggle, then it means that the war between the two gangs is unlikely to escalate to a life-or-death situation.

In other words, the victor will not exterminate the defeated.

The final result should be that the defeated will sign an unequal treaty with the victor.

Thinking about this, Chen An felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Then he quickly left the Treasure Shop.

Hastening home for dinner.

When Chen An returned home, he saw Wen Zhiyun teaching Chen Yuejian how to cultivate Qi in the front yard.

He wasn't surprised by this scene.

On ordinary days, Wen Zhiyun often regrets that he started cultivating too late and fell behind others. Otherwise, he would have already reached the Foundation Building stage by now.

So, when his child is born, he definitely wants to start cultivating from a young age and let the child win at the starting line.

"Daddy!"

As soon as Chen An came back, Chen Yuejian's eyes lit up and she ran over.

But when she saw that Chen An had empty hands, her bright eyes instantly dimmed.

This little girl is 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. But today, he accidentally forgot to bring anything, and his daughter lost all interest, not even calling him "daddy" anymore.

It's a bit disheartening.

"Husband, an old cultivator brought a spirit fish today. He said you bought it in the morning and asked him to deliver it when he closed his stall," Gu Xinyue said as she walked out of the kitchen.

While Chen An tidied up her slightly messy bangs, he said, "Yes, I bought it and asked him to deliver it. I plan to make half of it into soup and steam the other half."

After speaking, he asked, "Yue'er, you haven't brought the spirit fish to cook yet, right?"

"Not yet, husband."

"That's perfect. Let me teach you how to cook it in the kitchen."

"Okay, thank you, husband."

"Let's go."

Chen An said as he reached out and embraced Gu Xinyue's slender waist, leading her towards the kitchen in the front.

Their daughter, Chen Yuejian, didn't follow them and continued to stay in the front yard, practicing Qi cultivation. However, for some reason, she could always hear someone calling "daddy" from the kitchen.

Half an hour later, dinner was ready.

Chen An helped Gu Xinyue tidy up her apron, and then they both carried the food to the hall.

Not long after, the whole family of five sat together.

They enjoyed the meal.

While drinking the fish soup, Wen Zhiyun said to Gu Xinyue, "By the way, Yue'er, you don't need to make fried dough sticks and soy milk for my breakfast tomorrow. I'll just have porridge."

"Okay, I understand," Gu Xinyue nodded, feeling puzzled but not asking further.

However, Song Huaying, who was always curious, was different. She immediately looked puzzled and asked, "Wen sister, you used to love eating fried dough sticks and drinking soy milk the most. Why suddenly don't want to eat them? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Eating them every day gets boring," Wen Zhiyun sipped the fish soup and said lightly.

Chen An, who was beside her, smiled and said, "If you're tired of soy milk, drink more fish soup. I taught Yue'er how to make it personally. The soup is very white and fresh, and drinking more is good for the skin."

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

"Oh, by the way, did you all see the photo stone I left on your beds this morning?" Chen An suddenly remembered and looked at the three wives.

Song Huaying lowered her head and didn't speak.

Gu Xinyue blushed.

Wen Zhiyun gave him a cold glance and turned her head away, not wanting to acknowledge him.

None of the three wives responded because they all felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, their daughter, Chen Yuejian, was a straightforward child and took the initiative to speak to him, her voice sweetly saying, "Daddy, I want to eat the fish eyes. Please help me pick them up!"

"Here, daddy will pick them up for you."

Chen An picked up his daughter from his young and beautiful wife's arms and happily fed her the fish eyes.

After dinner, they took a walk in the yard with their wives and daughter.

Chen An quickly found a place to sit down and opened the panel to check the data.
