My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Does he need sympathy?

Did I go too easy on them before?

Qi Yu now understands the cause and effect. It seems that there is indeed some rift between Ziqi Pavilion and the Xu family.

Moreover, Qi Yu had even more to consider. Xu Shuqin was an only child, and Xu Shuqin and Su Chengying only had Su Yun as their son.

In other words, among the Su and Xu families, only Su Yun is capable of inheriting both families' businesses simultaneously.

So Qi Yu wondered if the people from Ziqi Pavilion had set up a honey trap for Su Yun, this simpleton.

By using her beauty to capture or even control Su Yun, they could seize control of the Xu family without lifting a finger after her grandfather's death.

Thinking about it, it really is possible!

"Who is the person my elder brother likes? Does she have a high status in the Purple Qi Pavilion?" Qi Yu asked.

When Su Yun said that the person he liked was a business rival of his family, Qi Yu thought that the other person was the young lady of a fabric shop who was competing with the Su family for business.

But I didn't expect it to be such a behemoth as the Purple Qi Pavilion, which makes things a bit difficult!

Now let's see what status and position the female disciple Su Yun likes has in the Purple Qi Pavilion.

There's basically no need to worry about the peripheral disciples. But if they're core disciples, then all I can say is that Su Yun really knows how to play the game.

"Ouyang Ruoxue, the chief disciple and closed-door disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion Master!" Su Yue said indifferently.

Upon hearing the words "closed-door disciple," Qi Yu already knew he was doomed.

Then, the way he looked at Su Yun was somewhat strange.

He's quite handsome, but not as good-looking as me.

His eyes weren't bulging out, and his skin had no spots, so he probably wasn't a toad spirit!

It's not a toad spirit, but it does the same things as a toad.

A toad trying to eat swan meat!

"Um... Big brother, actually Lin Ruoxi is quite nice, why don't you marry Lin Ruoxi instead!"

Chapter 119 Qi Ran

Su Yun has been put in solitary confinement, and Qi Yu can't help him with this.

Purple Qi Pavilion!

What's the point of going by yourself?

The Purple Qi Pavilion could wipe us out with a flick of their wrist!

Using the sect leader's name might have some effect, but is it possible to marry off a powerful sect's top disciple to a wealthy merchant's son?

Moreover, this was done despite having a grudge against the Purple Qi Pavilion!

Are you out of your mind?

What is the status of a closed-door disciple?

Qi Yu is now the sect leader's last disciple. Although he did not perform the formal apprenticeship ceremony, the inheritance jade pendant is already in his hands.

He now holds a very high position in Taoism, with so many disciples respectfully calling him "Master Uncle," which demonstrates the status of a direct disciple.

Su Yun wants to marry the chief disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion? Isn't that like a toad lusting after a swan?

Closed-door disciples are usually talents that a force focuses on cultivating. Would they be easily released?

It's practically impossible for Su Yun to marry that woman named Ouyang Ruoxue.

If he marries into the Ziqi Pavilion as a son-in-law, there's still a glimmer of hope.

But what kind of place is the Purple Qi Pavilion? Does it lack geniuses?

No shortage!

Even if Su Yun wanted to become a live-in son-in-law, they might not even pay him any attention.

In comparison, Qi Yu suddenly felt that Lin Ruoxi wasn't so scary after all.

Rather than marrying the unattainable Ouyang Ruoxue, Qi Yu prefers Su Yun to marry Lin Ruoxi.

Although he is a bit cunning, his maternal grandfather, a grandmaster, should be able to keep him in check. If all else fails, he still has his own power.

However, what shocked him the most was the identity of his mother-in-law, Xu Shuqin.

I never imagined she was the daughter of a grandmaster!

What incredible luck my father-in-law had! He knows so many grandmasters!

Not only was Liu Heguang to blame, but even the head of the sect was his senior brother, and he even had an affair with the princess.

Is my father-in-law really just an ordinary wealthy businessman?

Qi Yu didn't want to think about it anymore; it felt a bit complicated.

He didn't need to know what Su Chengying did; he only needed to know that Su Chengying was Su Yue's father and his father-in-law, and that was enough.

After leaving the backyard, Qi Yu greeted Su Chengying and then headed towards the stables.

He was going outside the city to find Qi Ran!

He couldn't let Qi Ran continue living such a muddled life!

Su Yue accompanied Qi Yu on the trip.

……

After dark, Qi Yu and Su Yue finally arrived at the outskirts of the city and saw the small courtyard with lights on.

Qi Yu took Su Yue's hand and led her to the front door. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the door.

Soon, footsteps were heard, and then the courtyard gate was opened, revealing a young man.

The young man was somewhat thin, but he had clean features and a handsome appearance. He also seemed to be a scholar.

Qi Yu bowed in greeting, and the young man quickly returned the bow, then asked, "Brother, who are you looking for?"

"My name is Qi Yu!" Qi Yu said.

Zheng Wenhao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening, stepped aside, and gestured for Qi Yu to proceed.

"Please come in!"

Qi Yu thanked her, then took Su Yue's hand and walked into the courtyard. Under Zheng Wenhao's guidance, they sat down in the living room.

"Wife, come out for a moment!" Zheng Wenhao said.

Soon a young and beautiful woman came out of the inner room. She had delicate features, red lips and pink makeup, and was quite pretty.

As soon as Liu Qian came out, she saw Qi Yu and stopped involuntarily, looking bewildered and shocked.

"Uncle!?"

Qi Yu stood up, bowed to Liu Qian, and said, "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law!"

He wasn't sure if it was still appropriate to call her "sister-in-law" now, but it seemed like that was the only way to address her.

Su Yue also stood up, bowed slightly to Liu Qian, and said, "Sister-in-law!"

Liu Qian finally realized what was happening and looked at Zheng Wenhao.

Zheng Wenhao smiled but didn't say anything.

Liu Qian looked at Su Yue one last time and smiled, "Uncle, you're married too!"

Qi Yu lowered his hand, looked at Su Yue, and smiled, "She is my wife, Su Yue. We have been married for over a year!"

Liu Qian nodded and said, "Please sit down first, I'll go make you something to eat!"

As Liu Qian was speaking, she headed towards the kitchen, but Qi Yu quickly raised his hand to stop her.

"Sister-in-law, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Actually, I came here today because I have something I want to discuss with you!"

Liu Qian stopped, turned around, looked at Qi Yu with surprise, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Yu glanced into the inner room and sensed that there were two little ones inside, one about a year old and the other being Qi Ran.

"Actually, I run a private school in Jiangting Village, and I want to bring Qi Ran back to study there!"

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and frowned. Qi Ran was her son. Although she now had a child, her love for Qi Ran had not diminished in the slightest.

It's ethically justifiable to hand Qi Ran over to Qi Yu, since Qi Yu is Qi Ran's uncle.

Morally, this is unacceptable, because Qi Ran is her son, and she cannot be separated from her child.

Qi Yu looked at Liu Qian, thought for a moment, and then said, "I once saw Qi Ran selling fish at a restaurant!"

Liu Qian and Zheng Wenhao were both stunned, their eyes becoming vacant.

When she came to her senses, Liu Qian's eyebrows shot up, her face contorted with anger, as she looked into the inner room.

"Qi Ran, come out here for a second!" Liu Qian called out.

Amidst the sound of footsteps, a handsome young man with a somewhat indifferent expression emerged.

"Mother, is there something you need from me?" Qi Ran asked.

As he spoke, he looked at Qi Yu, frowned, and seemed to recognize this person; it was as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"uncle?"

Qi Yu smiled and nodded, saying with a smile, "I didn't expect you to still remember what I look like!"

Qi Ran nodded, then looked at his mother and asked, "Mother, did you bring me out here just to meet Uncle? If so, then after I've met him, I'll go back to my studies!"

"Ran'er, tell me, did you go fishing and then sell the fish in Tongyun City?" Liu Quan asked, frowning.

Qi Ran's expression changed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm, shook her head, and said, "Mother, what are you saying? I'm busy studying at the private school every day, how could I possibly go fishing!"

No matter how composed he appeared, he eventually revealed his weakness. Did he even believe what he said?

"Tell the truth!" Liu Qian said sternly.

Qi Ran lowered his head, but said nothing.

Zheng Wenhao, standing next to him, also frowned. Although he wasn't a wealthy or powerful person, he had studied for so many years and still possessed a basic level of tolerance.
