I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World
Chapter 31 A Match Made in Heaven
With the contrasting example of Xue Wenzhou's family, Su Wanhe clearly preferred Ma Ke's loyalty and sincerity.
Therefore, even though Ma Ke was an outer disciple, she did not intend to use a mind-controlling technique to verify it.
Ma Ke breathed a sigh of relief, glad that this Martial Aunt Su was more reasonable than someone who cared about status, and his goodwill towards this beautiful Martial Aunt increased even more.
After all, in this world where the strong are respected, it's not easy to do that.
Su Wanhe then arrived at the ruins of the Xue family mansion, and quickly formed several hand seals. Before long, a faint, crystalline spiritual light appeared on the ruins.
Ma Ke was startled, realizing that it was a tiny bit of residual spiritual energy that hadn't completely dissipated when the spell was cast.
Su Wanhe raised her fingers and touched the spiritual light, seemingly analyzing something.
However, Ma Ke wasn't too worried, because he had not only dressed as a woman at the time, but also concealed his aura through the "Open Source Limitless Skill". If they could still trace it back to him, then he would have nothing to say.
"The Earth-attribute Cage Technique, Earth Shaking Technique, and Earth Form Technique are all spiritual power transformed from true qi. This person is not at the Foundation Establishment stage; he is a Qi Refining cultivator."
"This person is highly proficient in these spells and possesses such destructive power. Even if he is not at the peak of Qi Refining, he must be at the ninth level of Qi Refining."
As expected, Su Wanhe's judgment was wrong.
Based on this calculation, more than half of the thirty-three cultivators in the city would be eliminated.
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back." As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wanhe's figure disappeared.
Seeing that Su Wanhe had indeed left, Xue Wenzhou's gaze instantly sharpened.
"Senior Brother Xue, please accept my condolences, but the tragedy of the Xue family is not something that a mere outer disciple like myself can prevent," Ma Ke said calmly.
However, he secretly regretted that he probably wouldn't have the chance to kill this person this time.
Since that's the case, there's no need to continue being enemies openly. When he dies someday, it won't be easy for others to suspect us.
Xue Wenzhou remained silent, and dared not make any rash moves, for he was worried that Su Wanhe might be watching him from the shadows.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Wanhe reappeared and said directly to Xue Wenzhou, "I have checked all the cultivators still in the city, and there is no one who matches the description. They must have left long ago."
"It seems this matter cannot be resolved in a short time; we can only hand it over to the Enforcement Hall for handling."
Although the Xue family has committed many evils, they are, after all, the family members of inner disciples, and cannot be simply killed off; the investigation must continue.
Although Xue Wenzhou harbored resentment, he had no choice but to say, "I will follow my master's arrangements."
"Nephew Xue, I have collected all the evidence I could find so far. Your family can now keep quiet."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master." Xue Wenzhou quickly bowed in thanks.
Su Wanhe added, "I have to go back to report. If you want to come with me, I can wait until you've finished packing."
"I want to go back with my martial uncle."
Now that he knew the five sects were secretly capturing Ziyang Sect disciples to find out what was happening in the Ziyang Sect, Xue Wenzhou didn't dare to wander around outside. He figured he might as well use this free bodyguard.
"In that case, you can go ahead and get busy." Then, Su Wanhe said to Ma Ke, "You're familiar with this place, so why don't you arrange the accommodations?"
"Yes, Uncle Su." Ma Ke replied, then pondered for a moment before saying, "If Uncle Su prefers a quiet place, how about we go to the courtyard I'm renting?"
"Oh? I'm coming to your house as a guest?" Su Wanhe raised an eyebrow, then nodded with a smile, "I do prefer peace and quiet. Okay, then lead the way."
"Yes, this way please, Uncle-Master."
After the two left, Xue Wenzhou's face was gloomy.
He had hoped to get revenge with the help of his martial uncle Su, but now not only has the murderer not been found, but Ma Ke, this good-for-nothing outer disciple, has also gained the favor of his martial uncle Su.
Wouldn't it be very troublesome to get rid of this kid later?
After crossing a street, the two appeared outside the courtyard where Ma Ke rented a place, which proved that Ma Ke was indeed continuing his guarding mission in secret.
Just as he opened the door, preparing to lead Su Wanhe inside, he heard a shout coming from the other end of the alley: "Young Master Feng, Young Master Feng..."
Two women, one old and one young, came quickly towards them, the younger woman carrying a large bunch of meat.
"Aunt Li, Sister Zhang, is there something you need from me?"
Aunt Li took a few deep breaths and said, "Young Master Feng, I'm so glad to see you! I've come several times recently, but the courtyard has always been locked."
"It's nothing important, I just wanted to bring you a piece of meat to try. I was lucky today, I killed a deer, so I thought I'd come back to check on it, and I just happened to run into you and your friends coming back."
As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Su Wanhe and couldn't help but exclaim, "This girl is so beautiful, like a celestial being."
Su Wanhe couldn't help but smile.
"Young Master Feng is kind-hearted and handsome. Only a beautiful girl like you is worthy of him. You two are a match made in heaven."
Ma Ke was practically exploding with rage. How could he joke like that? Wasn't he afraid someone would slap him to ashes? So he quickly explained, "Aunt Li, it's not what you think."
However, Su Wanhe just smiled and didn't say anything more.
"Mother, Young Master Feng has just returned and must have things to do. Let's not bother him any longer," said Zhang, the daughter-in-law, who seemed to realize that her mother-in-law had spoken too quickly.
As he spoke, he handed a piece of meat to Ma Ke, saying, "Young Master Feng, please don't refuse."
Fearing they might say something inappropriate and anger Uncle Su, Ma Ke quickly accepted the meat and said, "Alright, then take care."
After seeing the two off, Ma Ke quickly invited Su Wanhe into the courtyard and said, "Women in the mortal world are straightforward and outspoken, please don't mind, Uncle."
"However, her comment that her martial aunt was like a celestial being was truly from the bottom of her heart."
Su Wanhe snorted lightly: "I didn't expect you to be so glib."
But then the voice of the woman who had already walked away echoed in his mind: "I was originally thinking of introducing your Aunt Wu's daughter to Young Master Feng, but after seeing that girl today, she's like a pheasant compared to a phoenix, so far inferior."
"That makes sense. With his talent, kindness, and good looks, how could Young Master Feng possibly have trouble finding a good girl?"
Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Mother, judging from what Young Master Feng said, things might not be what you think between them."
"What do you mean it's not what I think? That's just what Young Master Feng said because he was afraid the girl would be shy. But the girl has already gone home with Young Master Feng, isn't the matter obvious? Let's just wait and see what happens at the wedding."
Su Wanhe was speechless. Luckily, these people didn't recognize her, otherwise, she would have become this guy's wife for no reason.
"How did you get involved with these two women?" she asked casually.
Ma Ke explained, "A while ago, her son was bitten by a venomous snake, and I helped remove the venom, saving his life."
"Isn't your surname Ma? Why are they calling you Young Master Feng?"
"After all, this place is not far from the Xue residence, and I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I changed my name."
Su Wanhe didn't ask any more questions, but Ma Ke waved the venison in his hand and said, "Uncle-Master, this meat is quite good. How about we have this as a snack with our drinks?"
Su Wanhe raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you know I've already abstained from grains?"
Ma Ke laughed and said, "It's rare for Uncle-Master to take a trip to the mortal world and experience the joys of life. Isn't that another form of cultivation?"
Su Wanhe was slightly taken aback. She felt that Ma Ke's words did make some sense. More importantly, she did not expect that a mere outer disciple could say such things with such composure.
Because if it were any of the other disciples in the sect, they would all treat him with utmost respect. Even though he was relatively mild-mannered, there was still a huge gap in their social status.
Moreover, Ma Ke is only an outer disciple at the second level of Qi Refining. It's already quite remarkable that he's not intimidated. I didn't expect him to even dare to reason with me. Interesting.
