My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Physical desires are easily satisfied because they are merely instinctive desires.

But the emptiness in one's heart cannot be filled with material things.

,

Su Yue could fill the emptiness in his heart; as long as she was there, he would feel incredibly satisfied.

Chapter 157 A Salted Fish

The New Year is just around the corner. Qi Yu sat under the eaves, watching the snow falling in the courtyard.

This plague was caused by someone poisoning the area; it was either the Blood God Cult or the Purple Qi Pavilion.

Even if they weren't the masterminds, they should still be considered accomplices.

My very existence has caused many people sleepless nights and loss of appetite.

He used to think that becoming a martial artist would allow him to protect Su Yue, but in the end, he realized he couldn't protect anyone, including himself.

Will becoming a Grandmaster guarantee my protection of Su Yue?

With a sigh, Qi Yu picked up his teacup. The tea in the cup had already cooled down, but Qi Yu drank the cold tea in one gulp and then picked up the teapot next to him to pour more.

According to the sect leader, breaking through to the Grandmaster level requires a transcendent state of mind, which Qi Yu didn't quite understand, so he was stuck at the threshold of becoming a Grandmaster.

Sipping tea and watching the wind and snow, Qi Yu suddenly looked up at the main road at the village entrance.

A carriage was slowly approaching. The wind and snow were heavy, but this did not obstruct Qi Yu's view.

Because the range of his true energy release has now increased from one kilometer to five kilometers.

In other words, if you want to, you can see everything clearly within a five-kilometer radius.

During the ten-odd days that the leader went out to cultivate, the leader will teach me some cultivation techniques and secrets tomorrow.

The leader also imparted all his secret manuals, such as the "Western Flow Manual."

Most Taoist manuals focus on cultivating willpower and strengthening control over internal energy.

However, Qi Yu's favorite is "One Mind, One Thousand Functions" because it allows him to do many things at the same time.

At this moment, when he tried to sense the people in the carriage using his true energy, he found that his true energy could not penetrate them.

Qi Yu was slightly surprised, but didn't think much of it.

Because this was the Su family's carriage, which Qi Yu had ridden in before.

The driver was Su Yun, who had a poker face, so it goes without saying who was in the carriage.

"Wife, your parents-in-law are here!" Qi Yu turned his head and called into the house.

Soon Su Yue walked out of the room and came to Qi Yu's side. She looked at the snow-covered carriage and smiled.

Qi Yu put down his teacup, stood up, straightened his appearance, then reached out and took Su Yue's fair hand, saying with a light laugh, "Let's go, let's go greet my parents-in-law!"

Su Yue smiled and nodded, then took Qi Yu's arm.

……

The carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, where Su Yue and Qi Yu were already standing to greet them.

Su Yun got out of the car first, then brought over a bench, and Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin used the bench to get out of the car.

Qi Yu bowed and greeted Xu Shuqin and Su Chengying.

Welcome, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law!

Su Chengying nodded without saying anything, but Xu Shuqin looked delighted. After telling Qi Yu not to stand on ceremony, she instructed Su Yun to move the things.

Su Yun looked annoyed, but still went to the carriage to move things.

Qi Yu looked at what Su Yun was holding with a surprised expression and asked, "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, what is this...?"

Su Chengying said calmly, "We're spending the New Year here with you this year, what? Aren't you welcome?"

Qi Yu quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, what are you saying? How could I not welcome you! I'm overjoyed! Please come in, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law!"

Qi Yu stepped aside and said to Su Yue, "Wife, you take your father and mother inside. I'll go help my brother move his things!"

Su Yue nodded, then took Xu Shuqin's arm and walked through the gate.

As Su Chengying passed by Qi Yu, he glanced at Qi Yu and sighed inwardly.

What a promising talent!

I wish I hadn't given it to my senior!

Qi Yu is just one step away from breaking through to the Grandmaster level, and Su Yun is in a similar situation.

However, this final step has stumped countless people.

Many people get stuck here, unable to grasp the key points and making no progress.

Even Su Yue back then was stuck in this place for five months.

In order to find a way to break through, she assigned Su Yue a task and then came to the small place of Jiangzhou City.

Then Su Yue found him a son-in-law, insisting that he marry Qi Yu.

Unable to resist Su Yue's insistence, and considering that although Qi Yu was penniless at the time, he remained composed and answered calmly when faced with her humiliation, Su Yue finally agreed to the marriage.

It turned out that Qi Yu was indeed good, but he was just too lazy and lacked ambition.

If Qi Yu had shown even a little bit of ambition, he wouldn't have recommended him to the head coach.

The problem is that Qi Yu doesn't have that. His laid-back personality is more suited to Taoism than to the demonic sect.

After much hesitation, he still recommended Qi Yu to his senior brother.

Now that my senior brother is going into seclusion to break through to the level of a sub-sage, Taoism will be handed over to Qi Yu.

But the question is... will it go that smoothly?

Whether it's the fact that the leader of the sect went into seclusion to achieve a breakthrough to the level of a near-saint, or the fact that Qi Yu succeeded him, there are many people who are unwilling to see it.

The evil cult doesn't want to see this, and neither does the righteous path.

If the leader of the sect breaks through to the level of a sub-saint, it will have a certain impact on the structure of the continent.

At that time, the righteous path will inevitably follow the lead of Taoism, and the demonic sect will also back down and will not be as arrogant as it is now.

This is a situation that many people do not want to see.

Needless to say, Qi Yu was even more monstrous than Su Yue, and his threat was countless times greater than Su Yue's.

Because many people will believe in and respect Qi Yu.

If Qi Yu were to succeed as head coach, a single word from him would be enough to inspire countless people to work for him, even to the point of death—that's how terrifying it is.

With the deliberate promotion and shaping by the religious leader, Qi Yu enjoys a high level of public support.

Before anyone knew it, Qi Yu had grown to this point!

Su Chengying was somewhat moved; Qi Yu's growth rate was unprecedented in his life.

What's even more remarkable is that Qi Yu was able to maintain his original aspirations and not lose himself in power and influence.

His purpose in coming here this time was not just to celebrate the New Year, but also to see how Qi Yu would change under the influence of power and authority.

……

Qi Yu and Su Yun moved all the things into the house together. Su Chengying sat at the living room table, looking around.

He had been here once before, and nothing had changed since.

Xu Shuqin and Su Yue went to the kitchen to make tea. After Qi Yu put his things down, he sat down next to Su Chengying at Su Chengying's prompting.

"Yu'er, have you ever thought about moving to a bigger house?" Su Chengying asked.

Qi Yu shook his head, then looked around and smiled, "Although it's a humble abode, it's very cozy to live in. Besides, it was built by my parents, so no matter what, it's my home. Therefore, I don't have any plans to move for the time being."

Su Chengying nodded, agreeing with Qi Yu's words, but then changed the subject and slowly said, "If you succeed as the leader, you will have to stay at the Changsheng Temple, which means you will have to go to the capital."

"What will you do with this house then?"

Qi Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just going through the motions!"

"Just going through the motions? What do you mean?" Su Chengying asked in surprise.

Qi Yu smiled and said, "After Master goes into seclusion, I will relinquish the position of head instructor!"

Su Chengying and Su Yun were both stunned, staring wide-eyed at Qi Yu without saying a word.

Coach, you think you can just give up like that?

Do you know what the head of the teaching staff represents?

"Yu'er, do you know what the leader represents? Do you know what kind of influence you will have after you become the leader?" Su Chengying asked in a hoarse voice.

If Qi Yu is unaware of his current situation and doesn't understand the power he will gain after becoming the leader, it's understandable that he would say he wants to relinquish the position.

But if Qi Yu knew what kind of power he would gain by becoming the leader, yet still gave up the position, then Su Chengying would have nothing to say.

What's there to say about a salted fish?

What's there to say about a salted fish?

"I know, the teacher already told me!" Qi Yu said with a calm and relaxed smile.

Su Chengying narrowed his eyes and asked, "Aren't you tempted? If you become the leader, you can have whatever you want. You only need to say a word, and someone will do it for you!"

"Power, status, money, women—you can have it all. Aren't you tempted?"

Qi Yu smiled and said, "The higher you stand, the fewer things you have around you. To gain something, you will inevitably lose something else. Position is relative."

"Becoming a head coach is glamorous, but I don't want that kind of life; it's too tiring."

"I prefer jobs where you do less work but get more pay, and there's no danger to your life. The position of leader is too dangerous. Every day I have to worry about assassination attempts by the demonic sect and the righteous path. It's exhausting!"
