Immortal Martial Arts Son-in-Law: Having Too Many Wives Isn't My Fault

The next day, Chen Hao arrived at the Su family's house.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he sensed that something was amiss.

The courtyard was usually lifeless.

There were more than a dozen people gathered there at that moment.

Among them were sons-in-law who had previously married women from the Su family, as well as some guards who were not chosen by the Su family.

They all craned their necks, whispering amongst themselves, their faces filled with barely concealed excitement and exhilaration.

"Have you all heard? This head of the guards is no ordinary person. Not only has he entered the middle to high ranks of the Su family, but he can also access the true inheritance of the Su family. Even the spirit stones he receives can be doubled."

"He receives a full ten spirit stones as a monthly stipend."

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Really? This is incredible news!"

"I heard that the Su family and the Baiyuan Zhao family had a conflict a couple of days ago, which is why they need to recruit people."

"If I could become the head of the guards, that would be incredibly lucky!"

Commander of the guards!

Although it carries the title of a guard, it is quite different from ordinary guards.

For these lower-ranking guards or sons-in-law, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to rise to the top in one step.

Chen Hao walked silently past the crowd, a slight thought stirring within him.

Although the Iron Rhinoceros Technique is an excellent body-refining technique, it consumes a great deal of qi and blood.

Without sufficient financial support, relying solely on the five spirit stones a month that this son-in-law receives, it's uncertain when he will achieve anything.

In addition, he had previously received a lot of spirit rice from the collateral branches of the Su family, so he is now heavily in debt.

This job was a timely boon for him.

He was pondering it.

Suddenly, he noticed a cold gaze fixed on him.

Chen Hao looked up and saw a tall man staring intently at him in the distance, which puzzled Chen Hao.

"Could it be that Wang Mang sees him as an adversary?"

This Wang Mang.

He had originally cultivated a wisp of Crimson Origin Immortal Qi and possessed the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining.

Taking advantage of his tall and strong physique, he has always been domineering among the group of outside guards.

They especially looked down on Chen Hao, a rogue cultivator from out of town who came to seek refuge with them.

Last time, when everyone followed Zhang Hu to practice the Iron Rhinoceros Skill, Wang Mang, relying on his strength, stood loosely and was kicked in the knee by Zhang Hu, falling flat on his face. He didn't even qualify to become a son-in-law.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hao, due to his solid stance training, received a compliment from Zhang Hu that he was "a good prospect".

In comparison, Wang Mang completely lost face.

Since then, the way she looks at Chen Hao has been different.

now.

Seeing Chen Hao triumphantly marry the beauty, and recalling the embarrassing incident of a few days ago, Wang Mang was even more furious.

"You, an old man from out of town, are already the envy of many for being valued by the Su family and marrying Miss Wanqing."

"Are you planning to participate in the selection of the head of the guards? Take a good look at yourself. The Su family only took you in out of pity. Do you really think you have any great talent?"

Chen Hao glanced at him indifferently and didn't say anything.

He knew that although Wang Mang looked strong and healthy, he also had the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining.

However, he has now achieved minor success in his Iron Rhinoceros Skill and his cultivation has broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Just as they were about to fight, their opponent proved to be no match for them.

However, as an outsider living here, becoming a son-in-law in the Su family already made him the envy of many.

There's no need to argue with others over these trivial matters.

The other party wants the position of head of the guards, even if it comes down to their martial arts skills.

......

Night was falling.

The daytime hustle and bustle gradually subsided.

Outside one of the Su family's houses, at the door of the accounting office where an oil lamp was lit, there was a soft knocking.

Who is it?

A slightly impatient voice came from inside.

"Uncle, it's me."

The door creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a mustache and a slightly overweight build poked his head out.

Upon seeing the tall figure in front of him, the middle-aged man hurriedly pulled Wang Mang inside.

"It's so late, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?"

Wang Mang plastered a fawning smile on his face, took out a few spirit stones from his pocket, and discreetly slipped them into Su Gui's hand.

"Uncle, I've been having trouble sleeping because something's on my mind, so I came to talk to you about it."

Su Gui weighed the spirit stones in his hand, and his expression softened considerably.

"Speak, what is it?"

"It's all because of that position as the head of the guards."

Wang Mang said through gritted teeth.

"Uncle, I've been in the Su family for almost five years now. I may not have made any great contributions, but I've certainly put in a lot of hard work. Yet, this time, when the Su family was recruiting a son-in-law, I was the one who was rejected."

"I heard today that Chen Hao, that wandering cultivator from out of town, also wants to compete for this position!"

He recounted how Zhang Hu had praised Chen Hao a few days earlier.

She then embellished the story of how she kicked him, ending with a resentful remark.

"That wandering cultivator from out of town is quite eccentric. He's clearly old, but his talent for cultivation is extraordinary, and he's also favored by the lady. If we really compare, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't compete with him."

Su Gui stroked his beard and squinted.

"Are you trying to make me trip him up?"

"Uncle is wise!"

Wang Mang quickly stepped forward.

"You're in charge, so why don't you just find some excuse to get him out of the way during the selection process? Once it's done, I'll reward you handsomely!"

Su Gui pondered for a moment, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

A few days ago, Chen Hao followed Zhang Hu to cultivate, and then married the second young lady.

He had heard about it.

Since it's a relative who's asked, and there's a benefit to be gained, why not do this favor?

"Alright, I understand the situation."

"This time, the Su family is selecting a head guard. On the surface, they only said they would recruit two people, but in reality... there is only one spot available."

"And one of them has already been decided."

"Is it settled?"

Wang Mang's eyes widened.

"The competition hasn't even started yet, and the first place has already been decided internally. Just who has such power!"

Su Gui sighed.

"It's from a young man from the Qingyun Sect named Li Feiyu. He was found to have dual spiritual roots when he was young and was hailed as a genius. Unfortunately, something happened later that caused his cultivation to stagnate for several years. He was marginalized by the sect and eventually came to our Su family."

He paused, then added.

"Although this young man has fallen from grace, his foundation remains, and he is now at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. The elders met him during the day and immediately approved his appointment."

"Mid-stage Qi Refining?"

Wang Mang gasped, feeling as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

He had cultivated diligently for many years, but he was only at the third level of Qi Refining, which was already considered outstanding among the guards of the Su family.

Mid-stage Qi Refining...

That was a whole realm higher, not to mention that the other party came from a sect, and their cultivation strength and combat experience far exceeded his imagination.

So that's why.

Su Gui spoke earnestly.
