Free Web NovelChapter 324: Chapter 202: The Young Master-in-law Would Never Collude with an Evil God
Inner Sect.
Meng Qiewei walked out of the courtyard and continued forward.
She lived on a mountain, and from her home, she could see a multitude of rugged peaks.
The area was vast, with mountains stretching one after another, and it was rare to encounter disciples passing by on their swords.
It was an excellent spot to admire the beautiful mountain scenery of the Sect.
A moment later.
Meng Qiewei stopped near the edge of a cliff.
She gazed into the distance.
The landscape was magnificent, with the majestic peaks laid bare before her.
Feeling the gentle breeze caress her cheek, Meng Qiewei spoke softly, "Any farther and it’s just desolate mountains."
Despite the Immortal Sect’s efforts over the years, they hadn’t been able to restore the land to its former state.
"Miss, I’ve found out a few things." Just then, Qing Dai landed beside Meng Qiewei, descending from the air. "The Sect has decided to wait for the Young Master to come out, then detain him for three days for a simple investigation.
"If there are no issues, he’ll be released to await the arrival of someone from the Immortal Sect. In the meantime, there will be certain restrictions.
"Mostly related to resources.
"The ox is still in custody, but they haven’t found anything.
"But it’s still suspicious.
"Also, we’ve confirmed that the Zhao Family was the one who released the aura."
"The Sect is being that merciful?" Meng Qiewei asked, curious.
’Why would they release someone suspected of being connected to the Evil God?’
"I found it strange at first, too," Qing Dai said. "I thought the new Celestial Pride had intervened, but it seems he isn’t rushing to get involved. Instead, he’s waiting for the Zhenyue Bureau to make a decision before stepping in."
"So someone else intervened beforehand?" Meng Qiewei asked.
Qing Dai nodded, then whispered, "The Immortal Sect’s Special Inspector, Zui Fusheng."
Hearing this, Meng Qiewei was surprised. "Are you sure?"
"I’m sure," Qing Dai affirmed.
"Why would he get involved?" Meng Qiewei wondered.
"I don’t know." Qing Dai shook her head, then guessed, "Could it be that he knows about the relationship between the Young Master and you, Miss?"
Meng Qiewei shook her head.
’That’s highly unlikely.’
’If they knew, the Immortal Sect would have made a move long ago.’
"Should we try to flush him out?" Qing Dai asked.
Meng Qiewei looked at Qing Dai and was silent for a moment before saying, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"
Qing Dai froze, only then realizing she was just an ordinary clone.
’Never mind lacking the strength, I don’t even have the proper methods.’
’Investigating him would likely be a quick death sentence.’
’Besides, he’s a Special Inspector from the Immortal Sect. Who knows what his purpose is here?’
’It would be all too easy to attract disaster.’
"Start with the Immortal Sect first," Meng Qiewei said.
Qing Dai nodded.
’It’s safe to investigate within the Immortal Sect, but what excuse could I use?’
’I can’t just start paying attention to this Inspector for no reason. I need a motive.’
’Otherwise, I’d be walking right into a trap.’
"Who from the Immortal Sect will be coming down?" Meng Qiewei asked.
"They haven’t dispatched anyone yet, but it shouldn’t matter who comes. How could there be an Evil God anywhere near the Young Master?
"That ox might be suspicious, but I’ve seen it and even tested it with a special method. There’s nothing wrong with it." No matter what, Qing Dai had great faith in her Young Master.
’If the Young Master were colluding with an Evil God, why would the Miss have married him?’
’But this is just a clone, so my abilities are severely limited.’
’What a Primordial Spirit clone can perceive is completely different from the main body.’
’If my main body were here, I could tell with a single glance if the Old Yellow Ox was truly a problem.’
Meng Qiewei didn’t speak, only instructing Qing Dai to find out who from the Immortal Sect was coming.
And to purchase some resources while she was at it.
Qing Dai naturally understood why she needed to buy resources.
But she couldn’t help but ask, "Miss, the Young Master has been in the Immortal Mansion for so long without the help of any resources. Will he really be alright?"
’An Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart is no simple matter to deal with.’
At her words, Meng Qiewei looked at Qing Dai.
Her gaze was merely calm.
Qing Dai lowered her head. ’Did I say the wrong thing?’
’Does the Miss actually want the Young Master to suffer?’
’That doesn’t seem like it, either.’
"You don’t understand him," Meng Qiewei said suddenly.
Hearing this, a glint appeared in Qing Dai’s eyes. "So you understand the Young Master, Miss?"
"No," Meng Qiewei said, shaking her head.
Qing Dai was speechless.
’So how on earth did the Young Master end up marrying the Miss?’
’How much longer can he live?’
’An unparalleled Fate Chart is too terrifying.’
’It’s a murderous curse.’
’Whoever receives one has their destiny all but sealed.’
’She just hoped the Young Master could live a little longer.’
’Given the Miss’s current attitude, it seemed there might be a chance for them after all.’

「June 17th.」
Jiang Man let out a long sigh of relief.
’Finally solved it.’
’This box was really something else. I thought I had a thorough understanding of Array Patterns...’
...but I was still lacking in practical application.’
’The complexity of Array Patterns was a bit beyond my expectations.’
’The more I used them, the more profound they seemed.’
’No wonder Meng Qiewei only let me choose one Array Pattern manual.’
’They’re truly unfathomable. Two books would have been too greedy.’
’Studying two would be a huge waste of Cultivation time.’
’Definitely not recommended.’
His thoughts returned to the present as he watched the box, waiting for it to open.
CLICK!
The box clicked open.
An aquamarine bead appeared before Jiang Man’s eyes.
’What is this thing?’
Not knowing what it was, Jiang Man immediately activated the Celestial Mirror Hundred Books.
’Time to weigh the bead’s components.’
Soon, the Celestial Mirror Hundred Books fell open to its last page.
Words appeared.
An auxiliary Magical Treasure used for cultivating the Physical Body during the Golden Core Stage. It absorbs the Qi and Blood accumulated from one hundred repetitions of a Quenching Method each day. Once full, it will nourish the Physical Body. A piece of trash.
Looking at the text, Jiang Man couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
’For such a trashy item, you even bothered to mention it. You’ve worked hard.’
’But...’
’Since you went to the trouble of mentioning it, why couldn’t you also mention its name?’
’I can’t even ask about it now.’
’And this "one hundred repetitions of a Quenching Skill"—are we talking a Top-grade or Lower Grade skill? Great Success or just the First Layer?’
’This time it’s a quantity, not a count.’
While Jiang Man was pondering this, he felt the bead move and begin to absorb the Qi and Blood from his body.
’It’s absorbing my Qi and Blood even when I’m not cultivating?’
’This Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart is really out to get me.’
But as it continued to absorb, Jiang Man felt the Spiritual Qi in his Cultivation Gourd also being drained away, bit by bit.
Jiang Man froze.
’Why is it draining my Cultivation now, too?’
A moment later, Jiang Man felt a piercing pain in his Spirit.
