Chapter 103 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 20
Recently, a powerful demon has been causing trouble near the Medical Saint Sect.
Although they were highly skilled in medicine, they knew nothing about how to deal with demons and evil spirits, so they were beaten by the great demon and had no choice but to seek help from Mount Ling.
Xu Wenye then led his disciples to help exorcise the demon.
"Thank you, Grandmaster. I wonder if Mount Ling is lacking any medicinal herbs? They would be perfect as a token of my gratitude."
The disciples of Lingshan then all went to Medicine Valley.
Xu Wenye specifically requested a secret medicine from the Medical Saint Sect. This medicine is extremely beneficial to cultivators, helping them to eliminate distracting thoughts and stabilize their cultivation.
After resolving the matter, Xu Wenye went to a small town where he had some questions for the wealthy businessman he had met earlier.
The wealthy merchant clearly hadn't expected to see an immortal again in his lifetime. He was filled with fear and unease, worried that the immortal had come to exorcise a demon and wanted to kill his wife.
"No... I wonder what brings the immortal here?" The wealthy merchant's nervousness was palpable.
"That day you said you would handle it yourself, but how did you treat your wife afterwards? Is she still alive?"
The wealthy merchant knelt on the ground with a thud, crying out, "Immortal, my wife is innocent! Although she is a demon, she is kind-hearted and has never harmed anyone. Moreover, she only coveted my money and never hurt me. Please, Immortal, spare her!"
Xu Wenye guessed that he must have misunderstood the purpose of his visit, so he reassured him, "You don't need to worry, I won't do anything to your wife."
“I have a close friend who has recently been facing the same dilemma as you, so I am seeking advice on his behalf.”
The wealthy merchant was still somewhat hesitant, so Xu Wenye had no choice but to feign intimidation: "You must not hide anything from me, and tell me everything in detail, otherwise..."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, there won't be a single lie." The wealthy businessman nodded in agreement.
“After the immortal left that day, my wife and I talked all night. My wife couldn’t bear to continue deceiving me and told me everything. She said that she deliberately met me by chance, plotted against me, and later tried to make me marry her... She explained everything clearly, and then she asked me to let her go.”
"So you let her go?" Xu Wenye asked.
The wealthy businessman shook his head and said, "How could I bear to let her wander alone? Although she was insincere before, she only has me after all. Besides, everyone loves money, and I don't care."
"Unfortunately, my wife felt she had wronged me and was filled with shame. That very night, she packed all her belongings and prepared to leave secretly..."
"And then?" Xu Wenye asked again.
The wealthy merchant looked troubled and said in a low voice, "I am just an ordinary person and do not know any magic or strange abilities. So I spent a lot of money to hire a Taoist priest to set up an array to trap her and sealed her demonic power with talismans."
The wealthy businessman said helplessly, "In the end, it was my fault. I hurt her because of my own selfish desires. But once she leaves, I'm afraid I'll never be able to find her again. I really have no other choice."
"Afterwards, the lady was unable to escape, so I pleaded with her for a long time, and she finally gave up the idea. Later, the lady became pregnant..."
Xu Wenye remembered that he had indeed seen several children with half-demon bloodlines in the courtyard just now.
"Now my wife and I are deeply in love, and our child is intelligent and clever. We live a happy and fulfilling life. I beg you, immortal, not to harm her. I promise she will never harm anyone. If she utters even the slightest lie, you may kill me directly, immortal."
Xu Wenye nodded.
Upon seeing this, the wealthy merchant breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the immortal must have given up on exorcising the demon.
He couldn't help but sigh and say, "My lord, though I don't know what problems your dear friend is facing, but..."
"In a marriage, only the couple truly knows the joys and sorrows; the opinions of others are mostly useless. Always consider your partner's feelings and put yourself in their shoes. If there are no conflicts in the relationship, many things don't need to be taken to heart, or perhaps you can reflect on your own actions."
for a long time.
Xu Wenye replied, "That makes sense."
...
On the way back to Lingshan, Xu Wenye was still pondering the wealthy merchant's words.
It seems that those things from before were not very important.
It doesn't matter if her Dao heart isn't pure; with him around, her cultivation level can improve no matter what. He just needs to find ways to help her preserve those improvements, like the medicinal herbs he obtained for her from the Medical Saint Sect before.
People in the world who cultivate immortality do so for the sake of their cultivation level, and that's how the two of them met in the first place.
Xu Wenye secretly sighed to himself, thankful that his cultivation was so high; if it were any less, he might have missed out on a good match.
Her preferences... are even less important. They will naturally find out as they spend more time together.
As for her true feelings...
The wealthy businessman's scheme was really inappropriate.
If he were to lock Jiang Zhiyi up and seal her cultivation, and then forcibly cultivate feelings for her, it would probably backfire.
Given her personality, she definitely won't compromise; instead, she'll cause a huge scene. If that doesn't work, she'll end up sad and in tears.
Xu Wenye sighed.
And matters concerning children are even more unavoidable.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes... reflect on yourself...
Xu Wenye suddenly remembered that Jiang Zhiyi had confessed that night that she didn't dare to trust him and didn't know if he would stand by her side.
It turns out that he had overlooked this point.
It was indeed because I hadn't treated her well before that she was afraid to tell the truth easily, fearing that she would be punished by him.
Her feelings couldn't have been entirely false; she just hid them because she was afraid of getting hurt.
After thinking it through, Xu Wenye felt refreshed and much happier.
He will try his best to make up for everything that happened before.
Xu Wenye flew away on his sword to a sacred mountain.
He planned to give her a gift that would put her at ease from then on.
