Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Liu Dong leaped over the cliff and arrived at another mountain.

As he walked, he carefully observed his surroundings, looking for any signs of human intervention.

He actually found traces of someone's presence. Following the traces, Liu Qiu saw more and more signs of human intervention.

Liu Tong knew he should find those villagers.

Sure enough, after walking about a mile, Liu Dong saw the villagers.

However, they were not in good condition. They were forced to quarry rocks, and even the children were not allowed to stop. They were forced to help transport the quarried rocks.

Liu Tong narrowed his eyes; he didn't impulsively rush out to save the person.

There are so many people, he can't save them all.

Moreover, the person behind this must be very powerful. Even if these people escape now, they will probably be silenced later.

There must be a safe way to take action.

Liu returned home and told her father, mother, and sister about her discovery.

The three of them knew the situation was serious and beyond their control.

but--

Father Liu: "I'll write a few letters, and you don't need to worry about this matter anymore."

Although they were once江湖人士 (jianghu figures), it's best for them not to go against the imperial court.

The power of the imperial court is not equal to that of the martial arts world.

However, Father Liu had extensive connections, including acquaintances in the imperial court, some of whom had already attained high positions.

If those people knew about the gold mine, they would definitely take advantage of it, which might even benefit their official positions.

After learning who her father knew, Liu Tong felt relieved.

Regardless of who's behind this, it should be resolved.

After all, the matter would eventually reach the emperor. If the emperor knew there was a gold mine, wouldn't he quickly deal with the person behind it?
To bring the gold mine into their own hands?

However, he would go to the mountains every day to secretly protect the villagers and ensure they didn't die.

Sister Liu followed Liu Dong.

They would apply medicine to those injured by the overseers at night and stuff food into the arms of the children.

The villagers believed that the mountain spirits were protecting them, and every morning when they got up they would kneel down and kowtow to the mountain.

They kept the secret and did not let the overseers discover the matter of the food and medicine.

Thus, for six months, although the villagers worked very hard every day, no one died under the protection of Liu Dong and his companion.

The emperor eventually learned about the gold mine.

An army went directly into the mountains and killed all the overseers.

The villagers were released back into their homes, and when they saw their dusty homes, they all burst into tears.

They truly never expected to have the chance to return home alive.

Everything was thanks to the protection of the Mountain God, so every household set up a shrine to the Mountain God.

Their relatives and friends came to visit them, and they told them about their experiences, then enthusiastically recommended the Mountain God to everyone.

After returning home, those relatives and friends also began to worship the mountain god.

It took Liu Dong and Sister Liu a long time to realize that they had become the "Mountain God".

Two people: "..."

Sister Liu got married, and her husband was none other than Qin Shaoyu.

The two got married by accident.

Qin Shaoyu's son, Qin Mingyuan, fell into the river. Sister Liu happened to be passing by and went into the river to rescue the child.

Qin Shaoyu rushed to the riverbank and saw Sister Liu completely soaked.

It was summer, and her wet clothes clung to her body, revealing Sister Liu's exquisite curves.

Qin Shaoyu felt he was not good enough for Sister Liu and had no intention of proposing to her family. However, Qin Shaoyan's parents were very enthusiastic when they found out and immediately sent a matchmaker to propose marriage.

The matchmaker learned the inside story from Qin Shaoyan's parents and, without keeping it a secret, told everyone.

As a result, many people learned about Sister Liu's "wet" appearance in front of Qin Shaoyu.

Now, if Sister Liu doesn't marry Qin Shaoyu, who else can she marry in the future?

Liu's parents didn't want to marry off their daughter; they preferred to raise Liu's older sister indefinitely.

But Sister Liu was unwilling to let her parents' reputation be tarnished because of her. So what if she got married?
Just marry him.

Sister Liu listed out the pros and cons of marrying Qin Shaoyu for her parents to see.

Although Qin Shaoyu was disfigured and had a limp, Sister Liu didn't care about people's appearance.

Although Qin Shaoyu could no longer take the imperial examinations, he still had the title of Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations), and his land was exempt from taxes, so his life was better than that of ordinary farmers.

Although Qin Shaoyu had been married and had children, this was precisely what Sister Liu was most satisfied with.

Sister Liu witnessed how childbirth was like passing through the gates of hell for women, which gave her a phobia of childbirth. She wished she could avoid giving birth herself and save her own child.

Qin Shaoyu already has a son to carry on the family line, so she doesn't need to have any more children.

If Qin Shaoyu feels unworthy of her, then she will soon be able to use this as leverage to continue doing what she loves: treating others.
If Qin Shaoyu feels that it is inappropriate for her to appear in public, the two can simply divorce.

……

After a long list of pros and cons was laid out, Liu's parents actually thought that their daughter marrying Qin Shaoyu was not bad, and agreed to the marriage.

The wedding date was set for two months later. Because it was Qin Shaoyu's second marriage, the wedding was not a big affair.

The Liu family didn't care at all.

Liu's parents and Liu Qiu could all see that Liu's sister didn't like Qin Shaoyu; she was just looking for someone to live with.

After their marriage, Sister Liu and Qin Shaoyu treated each other with respect.

Aside from consistently treating patients and appearing in public, Sister Liu is a perfect wife in every other aspect, taking good care of Qin Mingyuan as well.

Qin Shaoyu always respected his wife.

Qin Shaoyan has returned from the capital; he has passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

When Qin Shaoyan learned that Sister Liu had become his cousin's wife, his expression changed.

However, only Liu Dong noticed it; the others did not.

Qin Shaoyan recovered very quickly.

Liu Tong: I've discovered a shocking piece of gossip!
Compared to Qin Shaoyu, Liu Tong actually prefers Qin Shaoyan as her brother-in-law.

Qin Shaoyu is too cunning and scheming, unlike Qin Shaoyan who is honest and sincere.

Qin Shaoyan did not stay in his hometown for long before going to the capital, where he passed the imperial examination and was admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Six months later, Qin Shaoyu also went to Beijing.

He left his son in his hometown to be cared for by Sister Liu.

Others didn't know why Qin Shaoyu went to the capital, but Liu Tong did.

Qin Shaoyu has never given up searching for Li Ruoyan and her father all these years, presumably to seek revenge.

Just recently, Qin Shaoyu received news that someone had discovered traces of Li's father in Beijing.

Qin Shaoyu immediately went to the capital.

Liu Tong felt there was another big show to watch, so he used the excuse of going on a trip to leave the village and head to the capital.

Qin Shaoyu arrived in the capital two months before Liu Tong. In such a short time, he had already managed to infiltrate the Third Prince's inner circle and become a trusted advisor.

Qin Shaoyu is indeed formidable.

If it weren't for that fire, his future would have been bright if he had passed the imperial examination and entered officialdom.

It seems a powerful minister will emerge in the future. (End of Chapter)
