Gu Xinyue tried to persuade her to stay, but because she was not good at speaking, her words of persuasion sounded weak.

"Friend Wen, you're living well here, why do you suddenly want to move out?"

Chen An held his daughter Chen Yuejian in his arms, walked slowly to Wen Zhiyun and asked.

Wen Zhiyun didn't even raise her head when she heard the voice, and said in a cold voice: "I don't have money to share the rent."

"I'll help you with the advance payment. You can pay me back when you have money. This is a special period, and it's normal to be short of money."

"Cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. I might die on the way someday. You are paying the rent for a casual cultivator like me who makes a living by hunting monsters. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get it back?"

"Fellow Daoist Wen has extraordinary luck. His path of cultivation is destined to be smooth sailing. He will not die halfway."

"If you were really lucky, you wouldn't be in this miserable state today where you can't even pay the rent."

Wen Zhiyun laughed at herself.

As she spoke, she packed all her luggage, picked up the three packed bags, and stood up to leave the house.

Chen An knew that Wen Zhiyun didn't want to leave, but just needed a way to stay.

But if he were to persuade her, Wen Zhiyun would probably whimper and act arrogantly for a while.

So he winked at Song Huaying, who was good at observing people's expressions.

Song Huaying understood what he meant instantly, and immediately hugged her daughter Chen Yuejian from her husband's arms, and quickly walked to Wen Zhiyun to stop her.

She said that she couldn't live without Wen Zhiyun, and without Wen Zhiyun it would be difficult for her to take care of Xiao Yuejian by herself. She said that Xiao Yuejian really needed her godmother's care.

Wen Zhiyun said angrily, Sister Ying'er, you are not alone, you still have a husband. Your husband is such a capable man, he will definitely be able to take good care of his daughter.

In order to get Wen Zhiyun to stay, Song Huaying dared to belittle Chen An, saying that Chen An was not as good as Wen Zhiyun in taking care of children.

After hearing these words, Wen Zhiyun felt much better.

She unloaded her baggage and decided not to leave.

Song Huaying and Gu Xinyue were both very happy.

Chen An felt the same way, but didn't show it too much.

Wen Zhiyun took Chen Yuejian from Song Huaying's arms.

Then he looked at Chen An and said to him, "I only stayed because of my goddaughter. Don't be too proud of yourself."

"Also, regarding the rent for the shared apartment, I won't give you a penny less. I will pay it to you on time starting next month."

After saying these words, Wen Zhiyun carried Chen Yue to the yard to play.

She was dissatisfied with Chen An for his reluctance to break through that layer of membrane. She felt resentful in her heart and didn't want to see him for the time being.

Chen An didn’t care whether she had any resentment or not, as long as she could stay.

Since that day, the relationship between the two has gradually returned to what it was before.

Chen An no longer tried to catch Wen Zhiyun.

But it didn't become much more enthusiastic.

We just returned to our normal way of getting along.

The only difference is that since that day on, Wen Zhiyun often goes out early and comes back late, sometimes even not coming back for several days in a row.

Every time he comes back, he looks very tired, with an exhausted face.

Chen An guessed that she must have gone there to make money.

I wonder how she makes money.

I tried to eavesdrop on her several times, but Wen Zhiyun noticed it every time and accused meddling in other people's business.

He also tried to ask his wives and concubines, but Wen Zhiyun didn't even tell his wives and concubines.

Gradually, he stopped asking any more questions.

In the following days.

Apart from being affectionate with his wives and concubines in his room, and staying in the alchemy room to make elixirs, Chen An basically spends the rest of his time accompanying his daughter as she grows up.

Occasionally, he would go to the Treasure Shop to sell pills and chat with the shopkeeper Liu inside to inquire about the recent battle between the Bamboo Leaf Gang and the Black Iron Villa.

Finally, we got some bad news.

The Bamboo Leaf Gang was in a state of decline and had begun to fall into a clear disadvantage.

When Chen An heard the news, he suddenly felt a surge of sense of crisis and knew he had to improve his skills as quickly as possible.

But if we want to achieve this, it will be too late to just wait for my daughter to grow up and get feedback.

We still have to start with Wen Zhiyun.

"You can't fight with her anymore. You have to be more proactive and take her down as soon as possible."

The days passed like this one after another.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to pay the rent.

This day.

After dinner, Chen An went into the alchemy room to make medicine and make money.

Just as he was absorbed in the practice, Wen Zhiyun's voice suddenly rang out from outside.

"Is it convenient? Come out and get the rent."

“Crack—”

Chen An opened the door of the alchemy room.

The scene that immediately caught his eyes was Wen Zhiyun standing outside the door, covered in blood, handing him a rent-free voucher and saying:

"This is a rent-free certificate for the core area. It can exempt me from one month's rent, which is equivalent to two months' rent for my shared apartment."

Chen An took the rent-free certificate.

He took a quick glance at it and put it aside, turning his gaze back to Wen Zhiyun.

Blood.

Covered in blood.

It's not the blood of a monster.

It's human blood.

But it’s not Wen Zhiyun’s blood.

Chen An looked into Wen Zhiyun's eyes and asked, "Friend Wen, are you going to fight the enemy for the Bamboo Leaf Gang?"

"It doesn't matter if it is or not. You just need to know that I can pay your rent on time every month."

"Friend Wen..."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I have to take a shower. I smell too much blood."

Wen Zhiyun didn't give Chen An a chance to persuade her. She turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During this period, whenever Wen Zhiyun went out, he would come back covered in blood.

Once, Chen Yuejian accidentally saw it and thought she saw a monster, so she was scared and burst into tears.

When Chen An was delivering pills to the logistics department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang, he asked Deacon Hong inside and confirmed that Wen Zhiyun had become a mercenary.

After that, he advised Wen Zhiyun several times not to go, saying it was very dangerous.

But Wen Zhiyun disagreed, saying that he was always unharmed every time he came back, and all the blood on his body was from the monks of Black Iron Villa.

After just half a month, you can get a voucher for one month's free rent.

Why not go? Seeing Wen Zhiyun's confident look, Chen An knew that he could not persuade her.

So he asked his wives and concubines to persuade him.

Unfortunately, I still can’t persuade him.

Having served as a mercenary for more than a dozen times, and returning home unscathed and with a full load every time, Wen Zhiyun felt that this was a good job with no investment and huge profits.

All you need to do is go up and kill a few monks from the Black Iron Villa to earn a rent-free voucher. Why not? Soon, another half a month passed.

This day.

Chen An spent the day making love with his wives and concubines in his room, and at night he stayed in the alchemy room as usual to make elixirs.

Just after he finished refining a batch of love-breaking pills, he suddenly heard the anxious voice of his young wife Song Huaying from outside the door.

"Husband!"

"Something happened, something happened!"

"Sister Wen was injured. There was a lot of blood on her chest. She collapsed in the front yard and passed out!"

“Crack—”

Chen An immediately pushed the door open and rushed to the front yard with his young wife Song Huaying.
