The three of them looked like they knew everything, which made Ji Mo Kunyu blush with embarrassment.
"It's not what you think. I just can't have children. Otherwise, I'm fine..."
Upon hearing this, the three of them smiled somewhat jokingly.
"We understand, we all understand, you don't need to explain."
He could somewhat believe Qin Luo when he said he understood, but he found it hard to believe that Wu Hua and Tengteng understood.
"You know all this at such a young age? Could it be that you've cultivated some kind of magic to reverse aging?"
Wu Hua and Teng Teng...
Seeing that the two were speechless, Qin Luo quickly steered the conversation back on track.
"Never mind that for now, I want to hear your story with Jiu Fangduo, is that alright?"
Ji Mo Kunyu already had a lot of grievances to confide in, and since Qin Luo was willing to listen, he was naturally willing to talk.
“Jiu Fangduo and I have been betrothed since childhood. She has been exceptionally talented in cultivation since childhood. While others need ten years to comprehend magic, she can master it in just one year.”
Wow!
The three hadn't expected Jiu Fangduo to be so powerful; calling her a prodigy was no exaggeration.
"So she knew all along that you couldn't ascend to heaven with her?"
"Yes, we made a promise that we would become Daoist partners once I cultivated my Golden Core, but just when I finally succeeded in condensing my core, she was about to ascend to immortality..."
Recalling those scenes from back then, his eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
"She found me before her ascension and told me that her cultivation could no longer be suppressed and that she had to undergo the tribulation of lightning as soon as possible. She also said that there was a method that could take me with her to ascend."
Qin Luo listened with some doubt: "Didn't you think about whether this method was reliable or not?"
“I did think about it, but I knew her obsession with cultivation and her determination to ascend to immortality. In order to keep her Dao heart from being disturbed, I agreed to take the risk with him.”
Do your family members agree with you doing this?
After asking this question, Ji Mokunyu's words were tinged with bitterness.
"Of course I would! How could I not? Reaching the Golden Core would allow me to ascend to immortality, bringing glory to the entire family!"
Qin Luo never imagined that even the eldest son of a prestigious family would be nothing more than a pawn in the face of self-interest.
"Aren't they aware of the dangers involved?"
"How could they not know? As fellow cultivators, being struck by lightning is a common occurrence. Moreover, they have also undergone the Nascent Soul Tribulation, so they know the dangers involved better than anyone else."
Seeing the tears streaming down his face, Qin Luo couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
You must have been very disappointed back then, right?
Ji Mo Kunyu raised his hand and wiped away the tear stains on his cheeks.
"There was disappointment, but more than that, there was the joy of ascending to heaven with my beloved."
Three people: Damn, another love-struck fool.
However, the three then noticed that Ji Mo Kunyu's expression had turned gloomy.
"But this joy was too short-lived. After we finished our tribulation, we were drawn here by the holy light of guidance. At that time, I fell into a deep sleep, and she was almost eaten by someone. Fortunately, she noticed something was wrong at the last moment."
"Eaten by someone? Who? Could it be Wu Zhaoliang?"
"Yes, you know her?"
Upon hearing this, all three unconsciously touched their noses.
"I've met you a few times, but we're not close..."
Seeing that they didn't want to talk about it, Ji Mo Kunyu didn't ask any more questions and continued his story.
"She fought with Wu Zhaoliang for three days and three nights, neither of them won, and they both exhausted their strength. In the end, the two formed an alliance and stopped fighting."
"Then what?"
"Then Duan Yangxin arrived, and the three of them were still evenly matched. They also realized that with their combined strength, they could not break the trapped situation at all, so they decided to stop fighting among themselves and from then on focus on the outside world."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo even offered a word of praise.
"He's not stupid; he knows the principle of finding another way if one path is blocked."
“You’re right, they’re not stupid. As more and more people ascended, they were recruited one by one, and that’s how Wumang City came to be.”
"And then?"
"After that, I became Daoist partners with Jiu Fangduo and lived a relatively peaceful life for several decades, but everything changed after she came."
"Her? Who is she?"
Qin Luo had just finished asking when she heard Wu Hua's surprised voice.
"Could she be the housekeeper?"
"What?" Qin Luo and Tengteng were both incredulous upon hearing this, but Ji Mokunyu nodded firmly.
“That’s right, she is Jiu Fangduo’s junior sister, Chunyu Ying, the Grand Princess of the Central Plains Royal Family.”
The three were shocked again: "The Grand Princess?"
"Yes, after she arrived, she naturally moved into the Jiufang Mansion. I took good care of her, but for some reason, she always had an inexplicable attitude towards me."
After hearing this, Qin Luo felt like she had stumbled upon some new gossip. She tried hard to suppress her expression and looked at Ji Mokunyu with a serious face.
"Does she feel like you're the outsider when she's with Jiu Fangduo?"
Ji Mo Kunyu suddenly realized what was going on.
"That's right, that's the feeling that made me feel very strange. Then, Chunyu Ying said that she was really embarrassed to eat for free, so she offered to be the housekeeper so as to help me share the affairs of the mansion."
Qin Luo shook his head upon hearing this.
"You're confused. The first step in gaining entry is to take away your power over managing the household affairs."
After she finished speaking, Wu Hua immediately continued...
"Yes, they will take the opportunity to suppress you and sow discord between you and Jiu Fangduo."
Tengteng, who was listening nearby, nodded her head like a woodpecker catching an insect.
"That's right, he ultimately rose to power through his offspring, and then subjected you to all sorts of torment..."
She was talking so enthusiastically that Qin Luo and Wu Hua rolled their eyes at her.
"Teng, you've got it wrong. They're both women, how could they rise to power based on their offspring?"
"That's right, even if there are offspring, they will belong to him."
As Wu Hua spoke, she pointed to Ji Mo Kunyu, and then all three of them focused their attention on him.
