Chapter 28: Cleaning Up the Undercover

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When he saw that Wen Zhiyun was still saying something, the reason she was able to become a advance-stage Qi Refinement Cultivator was all because she was able to endure loneliness, and keep her chastity, Chen An couldn’t help but say:

“Fellow Cultivator Wen, do you think there’s a possibility that you can become a advance-stage Qi Refining Cultivator purely because your cultivation talent is higher than others?”

“You’re saying I’m talented?”

Wen Zhiyun felt offended and her expression instantly became serious. “The reason why I, Wen Zhiyun, can cultivate to the advanced stage of Qi Refining has never been because of talent, but because of abstinence, self-discipline, and hard work. Don’t easily use the word ‘talent’ to deny my efforts over the years!”

Chen An: “Hard work and talent are never in conflict.”

Wen Zhiyun laughed, “I only cultivated to the advanced stage of Qi Refining when I was in my thirties. How can this be called high talent? Those who are really talented have long reached the Foundation Establishment or even the Golden Core at my age!”

To be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Golden Core Stage at the age of 30, how could this be considered high talent? This was probably cheating…

Chen An felt ashamed in his heart.

Then, he asked, “Fellow Cultivator Wen, may I ask how many years have you been cultivating?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at Chen An. Then, she looked at his two wives with a smile and said gently:

“Sister Ying’er, Sister Yue’er, I still have something to do, so I’ll go back first. If you guys are free, you can come and chat with me.”

With that, she turned around and walked out of the house. Wen Zhiyun wasn’t being polite to Chen An’s two wives just now.

She really wanted them to come over and chat with her. After all, although she was an ascetic, she was still human.

As a woman, she did not need a man, but she could not completely not communicate with others. Otherwise, she would have psychological problems sooner or later.

Looking at Wen Zhiyun’s enchanting figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Chen An instinctively swallowed his saliva. He was insatiable.

He seriously suspected that this beautiful woman living alone might have some kind of special physique that could attract men.

Otherwise, it was really difficult to explain why every time he saw her, he would lose all his composure and his mind would be filled with fantasies of being intimate with her.

“Husband, have you taken a fancy to Sister Wen?”

Seeing her husband reluctantly looking at Wen Zhiyun’s departing back, Song Huaying asked bluntly.

When Gu Xinyue heard this, she immediately looked at her husband. Chen An was stumped.

He had indeed taken a fancy to Wen Zhiyun.

However, it was difficult to answer such a question truthfully in front of his wife and concubine.

Seeing her husband like this, Song Huaying knew that her guess was not far off.

As the daughter of an aristocratic family, she had seen too many uncles taking in concubines in the past.

She knew that almost every man yearned for three wives and four concubines. And her husband seemed to be no exception.

Hence, in order to increase her value and weight in her husband’s heart, Song Huaying smiled sweetly and said,

“Husband, actually, I also want to have another sister in the family. I will definitely help you marry Sister Wen into the family.”

After saying that, she even nudged Gu Xinyue with her arm to get her to express her stance quickly.

Gu Xinyue was a little slow. After being touched a few times, she reacted and said, “Husband, I feel the same as Ying’er.”

Seeing that his wife and concubine were so understanding, Chen An didn’t say anything else. He carried the two of them into the room…

[You gave your wife, Song Huaying, a full-body massage. Couple bond +1.]

[You gave your wife, Gu Xinyue, a full-body massage. Couple relationship +1.]

In the days that followed, Song Huaying often brought Gu Xinyue to visit Wen Zhiyun at her place to chat with her.

Wen Zhiyun was very welcoming. Every time, she would bring out all kinds of delicious food and drinks to entertain them.

Days passed just like that. The three of them became much closer. They became as close as sisters.

Song Huaying said that when her child was born in the future, she would have Wen Zhiyun as her child’s godmother.

Wen Zhiyun was extremely happy. She said that her mother was a midwife. As a daughter, she would also help deliver the baby. When the time came, she would help Song Huaying deliver hers.

During this period, Song Huaying often took the initiative to talk to Wen Zhiyun about sex, describing this matter very beautifully.

In order to increase her persuasiveness, she often used the cold Gu Xinyue as an example.

At the same time, she would also intentionally or unintentionally say good things about her husband in front of Wen Zhiyun to change her husband’s image in Wen Zhiyun’s heart.

Every time she came back from Wen Zhiyun’s house, Song Huaying would tell her husband everything she knew.

For example, Wen Zhiyun was originally the daughter of a midwife from a mountain village. When she was 16 years old, a fairy maiden passing by the village discovered that she had spiritual roots and gave her a book on Qi Refining. From then on, she embarked on the path of immortality.

She had been cultivating for 22 years.

Chen An was shocked. She had only cultivated for 22 years and she was already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Wasn’t she a genius?

After all, he had cultivated for more than 30 years before reaching the third level of Qi Refinement!

As the relationship between Wen Zhiyun and her concubines developed slowly, Wen Zhiyun was willing to come to Chen An’s house as a guest.

However, she only came over when there was no one around.

She was worried that someone would see her when she came over and spread bad rumors.

Moreover, after entering the house, she treated Chen An as air as usual.

She was just here to play with his wife and concubine.

Chen An also treated this beautiful woman who lived alone as air.

It was true that he wanted Wen Zhiyun to be his concubine, but he did not want to find someone requiring this high level of maintenance.

There was no need to spoil her.

On this day, after Wen Zhiyun had breakfast at her house, she came to Chen An’s house to chat with Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue.

They chatted for the entire morning.

Just as she was about to leave, a loud shout suddenly sounded from outside the house.

“Fellow Cultivators who live in Green Willow Alley, please come out!”

“I am Elder Bai of the Bamboo Leaf Gang. I have something important to announce to everyone!”

“Please cooperate!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of the door opening could be heard from outside.

The Cultivators living in Green Willow Alley all came out of their homes.

He wanted to see what was so important that the elders of the Bamboo Leaf Gang had come to inform him.

Soon, Chen An and Wen Zhiyun also went out.

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue looked at each other and silently followed behind them.

“Fellow Cultivator Wen, why did you leave Alchemist Chen’s house?”

Seeing Wen Zhiyun walk out of Chen An’s house, Han Sanfan, who lived in Green Willow Alley with her, had a look of doubt.

Wen Zhiyun didn’t even look at him and scolded him directly, “What does it have to do with you?”

Han Sanfan felt very uncomfortable being scolded.

As for the other Cultivators, many of them were whispering about Wen Zhiyun. They didn’t expect that the Belle of the Bamboo Leaf Forest would enter the house of a male Cultivator. This wasn’t like her.

It wasn’t until they saw Chen An’s appearance that they suddenly came to a realization. This Fellow Cultivator was too handsome. No wonder Wen Zhiyun entered his home.

It seemed that this so-called belle of the high mountains was actually a superficial person. She actually valued appearance more than cultivation. How sad and lamentable.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rejected a Foundation Building Cultivator and chosen to hook up with an Alchemist whose cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Refinement and whose alchemy realm was only at the intermediate level of the first level.

“Everyone, quiet down. I have something important to tell you!”

Elder Bai of the Bamboo Leaf Gang shouted.

Soon, everyone fell silent and listened attentively.

Elder Bai announced, “From today onwards, the Bamboo Leaf Forest will be sealed for two months. No one in the forest is allowed to go out!”

‘What?’

Not allowed to go out for two months? Everyone thought that they had misheard.

After a moment, someone immediately asked in confusion, “Elder Bai, what’s going on?”

The others also looked at Elder Bai, waiting for him to explain.

Elder Bai explained to the Cultivators:

“We suspect that there are many spies from the Black Iron Manor hiding in the forest.”

“For the sake of the stability of the Bamboo Leaf Forest and everyone’s safety, the Sect Master has ordered us to find all the spies within two months.”

As he said this, the Bamboo Leaf Gang elder, whose cultivation level was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, scanned the faces of every Cultivator around him.

In an attempt to catch a trace of abnormality, he would catch a spy from the Black Iron Manor on the spot.

Then, he would execute him immediately in front of everyone to make an example out of him.

However, after scanning the area, he didn’t find anything unusual.

When they heard that they would not be able to go out for two months, many Cultivators immediately exploded.

“Deacon Bai, this doesn’t make sense. If you don’t let me go out to hunt for two months, how am I going to pay the rent for the core area?”

“That’s right. Isn’t this killing us?”

“I can prove that I’m not a spy from the Black Iron Manor. Can you let me go out and hunt for money?”

“…”

The Cultivators in Green Willow Alley chatted among themselves, and the scene became extremely noisy.

Soon, Elder Bai said:

“Everyone, don’t worry about this problem. We will waive the rent for the next two months.”

“But correspondingly, I hope that in the next two months, everyone can cooperate with our Bamboo Leaf Gang to clean up the spies from the Black Iron Manor.”

“Every time you help us catch a spy from Dark Iron Manor, you can get a month’s rent waived.”

“If you catch an advanced-stage Qi Refining spy, you can waive two months of rent.”

As soon as Elder Bai said this, the Cultivators exploded again. There was a flurry of discussion.
