Chapter 87 Chen Renzhen's Man
Chapter 87 Chen Renzhen's Man
The Hu family, seemingly peaceful on the surface, was actually already experiencing undercurrents of unrest.
The third branch is led by Hu Qingyun, but he usually ignores these trivial matters and his sister always handles them.
Hu Cuijing is Hu Qingyun's younger sister. She has the eighth level of the Acquired Realm cultivation and has no hope of reaching the Innate Realm in this lifetime. However, because of her brother, no one dares to raise their voice at her.
"Madam, about the fifth lineage."
The servants spoke in hushed tones, looking up at Hu Cuijing, a man with a muscular build, wondering what he was thinking.
"She's just a young girl, yet she's so fixated on this second lineage. How long ago was that incident?"
Hu Cuijing sneered, "We can cooperate a little, but don't go too far. The rules of the five branches of the Hu family were personally set by our ancestor. Do you think you can change them so easily?"
"A family can prosper for a long time not only through fighting, but it also cannot do without fighting."
Without even glancing at the documents, she said, "Also, you can't touch that boy in Hu Yuxian's family."
"Can't move?"
The servant asked in confusion, "We heard that Master Hu Andao is preparing to kill him to give Miss Hu Yuxian a warning."
"He dares?"
The woman sneered, "Tell Hu Hanhai about this. That kid is from the Shangqing Palace, and Zhang Yunqing is backing him."
"Our Hu family can afford to offend Zhang Yunqing, but we can't afford to offend the Shangqing Palace."
"As long as this woman doesn't die, Shangqing Palace won't bother with trivial matters. And if she survives, then Hu Yuxian will have essentially found a powerful ally."
In the eyes of the servants, Hu Yuxian was a woman who only had status and no substance.
However, in the eyes of these people in charge, they saw a Foundation Establishment cultivator with terrifying strength. Even if they didn't bind him, they could win him over.
Juan Dao is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so his vision is still too narrow. However, if he really does that, someone will come out and teach him a lesson.
The Hu family is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Amidst the undercurrents, Chen Ren was completely unaware that he had escaped another calamity; all he knew was how to cultivate.
Cultivation... and more cultivation!
Ibuprofen was no longer effective, so he pleaded with someone he hadn't contacted in a long time, Li Sanmei.
I wanted her to find something that could relieve the pain; I heard that the Wang family's undercover agents were also involved in this.
However, they told us directly that there was no room for negotiation. The Wang family had been unstable recently, and their competitors were looking for something to do with it, so they didn't dare to touch this thing.
He had no choice but to tough it out.
He went through everything, starting with his back, then his limbs, and finally his chest and abdomen.
But when it came to choosing between his head and his genitals, he was in a dilemma.
Should we protect the smaller head or the larger head?
Chen Ren didn't know, so he could only close his eyes and wait for Hu Yuxian to make a decision.
Hu Yuxian blushed and gritted her teeth as she began the tempering process from below.
"Aww~"
That day, the child's screams, now distorted, drew the attention of many powerful figures within the temple.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator curiously looked towards the entrance, but saw nothing but Liu Quji chuckling as he drank tea, unable to suppress the smirk on his face.
"What are you looking at!"
Noticing their gazes, Liu Quji cursed and then asked them, "Have you found out the cause of those people dying every day in Yucheng lately? If not, hurry up and go out and continue investigating."
"The end of the year is approaching. We will all have to go out to explore new lands, fight off enemies, and stop the powerful cultivators of the third realm from various races. The rear will not be safe then."
"We must resolve this problem as soon as possible!"
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was scolded wasn't angry, after all, he couldn't beat Liu Quji, and even if he could, he couldn't kill him.
There's no point in arguing with him.
"I was just curious to take a look."
Although he said that, he still quickly scanned the area with his spiritual sense and saw a shocking scene.
"A real man!"
He gave a thumbs up and remembered Chen Ren.
Five days left until the end of the year...
Chen Ren solemnly bid farewell to Hu Yuxian. He had received a message from Elder Wu that the end of the year was approaching and he should put down his work as soon as possible because he had something to tell him.
In the last two days, he used his sword-drawing points to greatly reduce his cultivation time, and his head felt numb.
That spiked club was truly ruthless, smashing his brains to pieces, but in the final moments, Liu Quji immersed him in the martial will of the Undying Demon Body, allowing him to complete his final training with great difficulty.
At this moment, a few specks of light could be seen on his body surface from time to time, which was a sign of the initial formation of the Undying Demon Body.
If you make a cut with a knife, it will heal quickly as long as there is enough blood and energy.
The Undying Demon Body is unique. Although it's described as a cultivation technique, it doesn't generate internal energy; it's purely a martial arts body cultivation method. Strictly speaking, it doesn't qualify as a martial arts cultivator at the Acquired Realm.
"Young master, won't you stay and spend the end of the year with us?"
Hu Yuxian was still somewhat reluctant to leave, and she tugged at Chen Ren's sleeve, not wanting him to go.
During this period, the two met every day and cultivated together, especially Hu Yuxian who spared no expense in investing resources.
Their relationship quickly heated up, and Chen Ren admitted that his feelings for her were growing stronger.
But the thought of his previous workout made his lower abdomen tighten.
I still have to go back to my own life. If we don't follow the great path, what's the point of talking about personal feelings?
"I think I might be an avoidant type."
He made up an excuse, saying that his grandmaster had something to instruct him, and only then was he able to leave.
Actually, he was reluctant to leave. After all, he was eating and using the best things here, and leaving meant that his sword-drawing value was increasing every moment.
But one can't really live off a woman, can one?
As the chief candidate for the Shangqing Palace this year, he also has a responsibility to his senior sisters.
Hu Yuxian escorted Chen Ren all the way from the Hu Family Martial Arts Academy before returning to her residence.
"Reluctant to part with it?"
Liu Quji smiled and said, "This kid has perfect kidney energy, he's the most suitable to be a lover, it's a pity you didn't seize the opportunity."
"It all depends on fate."
Hu Yuxian shook her head: "Besides, I'm not someone who acts on emotion."
She likes Chen Ren, but liking someone doesn't mean she has to have them.
"Willow, I bear the weight of the rise and fall of the Fifth Meridian. It is true that I like you, but I also value Zhang Yunqing, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage behind you."
"With her around, my importance will be greater, and I can better protect the Fifth Clan from the wind and rain."
Liu Quji nodded repeatedly upon hearing these words.
How did Hu Qianqiu raise his daughter? He's raised her so well. I really underestimated him.
It seems I still misunderstood this child. There was a reason why she endured so much on her own for so long.
It's a pity that bastard died too young, otherwise I would have learned from him.
Anyone who underestimates Hu Yuxian, thinking she is young and naive, will likely suffer a great loss.
"The end of the year is approaching."
Suddenly, Liu Quji spoke up, saying, "We in the third realm all have to leave the human territory, and the second realm also needs to expand outwards. You'll have to be careful here then."
"Some demons and monsters will show up. Remember, survival is the most important thing."
"Yu Xian knows."
Hu Yuxian nodded. Every year-end is more of a cleansing of karmic burdens and tribulations for all living beings than a trial.
This is the rule of the ancient world, unlike on Earth, where some people live their entire lives until death without ever seeing the day of reckoning.
This is not only a calamity for the human race, but also a calamity for all races in the ancient realm. Influenced by the God of Time, the surrounding ancient races will also take action.
