The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months passed.
During this period, Chen An would refine ten Divine Beautifying Pills for Ning Xian’er every month.
After Ning Xian’er obtained it, one pill was used for eating, and the other nine were kept in storage.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to come into direct contact with Ning Xian’er, Chen An would always use his charm and wit from the 21st century to make Ning Xian’er laugh brightly.
As time passed, the two of them became much closer.
From the initial superior-subordinate relationship, it slowly showed signs of getting closer to the friendship.
On this day, in the cave abode.
Gu Xinyue had prepared dinner.
She placed the dishes on the table at the right time.
Once Shen Qingyi returned, the family could start eating.
Not long after, Shen Qingyi had returned.
There was a trace of trouble on her face, but it was only for a moment. The moment she entered the cave abode, a faint smile appeared on her face.
“Mother Shen! Mother Shen! Did you remember to buy spirit cake for me to eat?”
Seeing Shen Qingyi walk over in a black suit, Chen Yi Ke immediately stood up with anticipation and asked.
With a thought, Shen Qingyi took out more than ten boxes of spirit cakes from her storage bag and placed them on the table. She smiled and said,
“Since Mother Shen promised to buy you spirit cakes, she won’t forget to buy them.”
“Mother Shen is the best!”
Chen Yi Ke hugged the spirit cake on the table and beamed.
Wen Zhiyun snorted. “If you really think that Mother Shen is good, you should hug her and say that. What’s the point of hugging the spirit cake?”
“Mother Shen, did you buy my storybook too?” Chen Yuejian asked.
Then, Song Huaying asked, “Sister Shen, there’s also my Golden Silk Wood Pipa.”
Gu Xinyue said, “Sister Shen, there’s also my boning knife.”
Jiu Ji: “Sister Shen, there’s also my Thousand Flower Silk Belly Band.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve bought them all.”
Shen Qingyi took out the things her sisters and daughters wanted from her storage bag and distributed them to them one by one. She had a smile on her face as if she was the big sister next door.
Ever since she became a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall and had to go out on duty every day, she had become a substitute purchaser for her younger sisters and daughters at home. She often helped them bring some things back from the market.
After everything was distributed,
Chen An pulled out a chair beside him and said gently to Shen Qingyi, “Qingyi, sit here. I specially reserved a seat for you.”
“Thank you, Husband.”
After saying that, Shen Qingyi walked around to the chair and sat down.
When everyone was here, it was time to eat.
Not long after, everyone was full. They chatted before dispersing to do what they wanted.
Shen Qingyi did not sit and chat after dinner. After eating, she returned to her room.
Chen An waited for a moment, then got up and walked to her room.
He came to the door, knocked, and asked softly,
“Qingyi, can I come in?”
“Yes, Husband.”
“Then I’m coming in.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen An used the Earth Escape Technique and saw Shen Qingyi standing by the window.
He walked to Shen Qingyi’s side and stopped. He first accompanied her to enjoy the breeze before asking, “Qingyi, is there something on your mind?” “Husband, why are you suddenly asking this?”
“When you came back from the Law Enforcement Hall, I sensed the trace of trouble on your face before you entered.”
“Husband’s divine consciousness has improved further. From such a distance, you don’t even need to look at me to capture the fleeting subtle expression on my face.”
Shen Qingyi turned to look at Chen An and said with a faint smile.
Chen An also looked at her and asked gently, “So, did something happen to you?”
“Mm.”
Shen Qingyi responded.
Then, she did not choose to hide anything and told Chen An everything.
After hearing this, Chen An learned that a male deacon in the Law Enforcement Hall had been harassing her every day recently.
It was too much harassment.
It was so overboard that even if Shen Qingyi told him that she was a married woman, told him that her husband was a deacon in the Alchemy Hall, and told him that her husband was very close to the Holy Maiden—
The other party continued to pester her and even harassed her even more, as if he liked to sleep with married women.
She had asked Liu Huoyu to deal with it, but Liu Huoyu only told her to endure it for the time being. She said that the male deacon had a powerful background and was the son of the Ninth Elder’s main wife. Even the Holy Maiden had to oblige to his requests.
In the current Heaven Earth Sect, it wasn’t just the Grandmaster and the Holy Maiden’ faction that was dominating. Instead, there was a faction called the Nine Elders.
As the name suggests, the Nine Elders faction formed by the nine elders.
These nine elders were different from the elders in the various halls. They did not manage the halls and were basically in seclusion all year round.
However, they were very experienced and could decide who could become the Sect Master.
Simply put, they had the right to decide who became the Sect Master.
It was the true pinnacle of authority in the Heaven Earth Sect.
At the same time, they were also at the peak of combat strength.
Each of their cultivation levels was not inferior to the current Sect Master, Xiao Qingyue.
In order to break through to a higher level, they chose to focus solely on cultivation.
Most of the time, the nine elders were in seclusion in their cave abodes and rarely came out.
As a result, many disciples of the Heaven Earth Sect had never seen them before, so they did not know of their existence.
Let alone disciples, even many of the deacons who had stayed in the Heaven Earth Sect for over a hundred years had never seen one of these nine Elders before.
Chen An had learned about this from his daily chat with Ning Xian’er.
Therefore, when he heard Shen Qingyi say that it was the Ninth Elder’s legitimate son who was harassing her, Chen An’s expression turned solemn.
Shen Qingyi saw the change in his expression and knew that this matter was not easy to deal with. She said to him, “Husband, it’s actually not a big deal. I’ll endure it and let it go. When I really can’t tolerate it anymore, I’ll leave the Law Enforcement Hall and cultivate at home in peace.”
Hearing what the heroic concubine said, Chen An felt very upset.
When he first met Shen Qingyi, she was still a heroine who abhorred evil and could not tolerate it. She never considered the consequences of punishing evil.
But now, she had become a weak woman who had no choice but to bow down to power.
In the past, Chen An had wanted Shen Qingyi to become like this.
But now that Shen Qingyi had really become what he wanted, he suddenly felt very sorry for her. He felt that his incompetence was forcing her to suppress her nature.
This was not the Shen Qingyi he wanted.
What should I do to deal with the son of the Ninth Elder who harassed Qing Yi without bringing disaster to the family?
Through connections? This obviously wouldn’t do.
Not only did that Ninth Elder have a high status, but his strength was not inferior to Sect Master Xiao Qingyue.
With my current relationship with the Heaven Earth Sect, there was no way 1 could go against him at all.
Hiding his identity and teaching the Ninth Elder’s son a lesson?
That wouldn’t do either.
As long as one had the heart to investigate, they would be found out in minutes.
Wait a minute!
‘I have the Book of Curses!’
The last time he used the Book of Curses to curse the elders of the Joyous Union Hall and the White Lotus Hall, he alarmed the Sect Master after that. He was so shocked that they sent the Holy Maiden to lead the Dark Forces to investigate for more than a month.
However, they found nothing. They could not find anything.
In the end, even the Sect Master personally led a team to investigate, but they still found nothing.
What did this mean?
This meant that the Book of Curses’s class was extremely high!
It was so high that even experts at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm could not find the source!
Therefore, as long as I use the Book of Curses, I can severely injure the Ninth Elder’s legitimate son without anyone knowing, preventing him from harassing Qingyi!
Thinking of this, the solemn expression on Chen An’s face instantly disappeared without a trace.
He revealed a faint smile and reached out to hold Shen Qingyi’s slender waist. With a confident expression, he said:
“Don’t worry, Qingyi. 1 can settle this matter for you properly. Just stay in the Law Enforcement Hall and do whatever you like..”
