The male supporting character was actually myself.

You raise your son and daughter to be three or four years old, and then we'll be even.

From now on, the two children will have no relation to you, and their surnames will be changed.

Similarly, I will no longer support my parents-in-law, and I have no further connection with the Lin family!

“Okay!” Lin Mubai quickly agreed.

He couldn't wait to get rid of these burdens.

After the divorce, he gained his freedom, and he could become successful and marry whomever he wanted without having to worry about a legal wife or children.

As for the original owner's parents?

They raised the already dead Lin Mubai, and they never took care of me for a single day. When did it become my turn to take care of them?

Besides, if that elderly couple had even the slightest ambition, they would have gone out and made a name for themselves long ago. Instead, they just stayed in that remote mountain village, waiting to enjoy their retirement, without giving their children any thought about their future.

These irresponsible parents deserve to be punished!

Support them?

No way!

As long as I can get rid of this woman, I can change my name and enjoy wealth and luxury in the future. Who in this day and age would know my past?

That old geezer in the remote mountain village has no chance of finding me!

Thinking about it this way, the surname Xue doesn't seem so bad.

Since you've already transmigrated, there's no need to hold onto your surname and make things difficult for yourself. After all, which transmigrator doesn't reap fame and fortune, and enjoy a harem of three thousand beauties, living a life comparable to that of an emperor?

Come to think of it, there are quite a few who could have ascended to the throne!

When the time comes to inherit the Xue family's fortune, I'll have to choose a name that will be remembered for generations. What if I really do become emperor and have some fun...?

Having said that, both managers shook their heads and sighed inwardly.

Jiang Chen instructed his pageboy Han Hong to write a letter of divorce.

He wrote down all the terms the two had agreed upon and then read them aloud.

Once both parties agree, they sign and affix their fingerprints, thus completely dissolving their marital relationship!

"Host... Huh?" The little white cat rubbed its eyes while staring at the script, looking incredulous. "I think I've seen the fastest update speed in history."

Chapter Twenty: Can Immortal Cultivation Still Be Possible in This World?

"This update took about three seconds!"

Host, I bet we can definitely break the record.

Emmmm... No wonder the updates were so fast. It turns out they only deleted the plot about the protagonist's first wife, Lin Zhangshi, dying of illness and the deaths of their two children. They just deleted two sentences.

"Will they be safe then?"

The little white cat carefully flipped through the pages and, sure enough, there was no longer any information about the three people's deaths in the story.

It seems they were deliberately making way for the protagonist, so there's no need to bring it up again.

Lin Mubai emerged from the study feeling relaxed. At the door, he encountered a Taoist priest walking towards him and curiously glanced at him a couple more times.

Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest stared at him with eyes as big as copper bells, seemingly disgusted that a servant was looking at him like that. Lin Mubai felt indignant and could only glare back fiercely before hurrying to the backyard.

After all, it's almost dinner time, and if we go too late, we won't be able to get any meat.

As he walked, he wondered, "Could it be that this world allows one to cultivate immortality?"

Otherwise, how could Young Master Xue, who was on the verge of death from congenital heart disease, suddenly recover so quickly, with his luck value soaring to over two hundred? I'm afraid I'd have a hard time getting through this tough nut to crack.

The old Taoist priest was actually a cultivator who gave Young Master Xue some kind of elixir.

Aside from this speculation, Lin Mubai couldn't think of any other possibility.

At the same time, he was even more excited about the system rewards.

Who knows, maybe opening that golden gift bag will reward you with hundreds of years of cultivation?

Why bother making soap or burning broken glass? Of course, you should go everywhere to seize luck and cultivate immortality!

If even fleeting fortune can be snatched, Lin Mubai thought it was increasingly possible.

"No, I can't be intimidated by Young Master Xue's luck value." After a moment's thought, he made up his mind, "I must complete the beginner's quest, rapidly transform myself, and embark on the path of cultivation!"

Even as he lay down on the communal bed to sleep that night, Lin Mubai was still immersed in the joy of the protagonist in a cultivation novel soaring to the heavens, chuckling to himself every now and then.

The servants all felt that something was wrong with him, and they hid far away and whispered among themselves.

He was so engrossed in his own fantasy world that he was completely unaware of what was happening.

That night, Lin Mubai dreamed of a misty immortal realm, where he was dressed in white and flying on a sword...

Rewind time to when the separation was completed.

“From now on, you will no longer be Lin Zhangshi.” Jiang Chen instructed the head maid, Mo Hua, to help Lin Zhangshi, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet.

After all, she had given him her heart for many years. Seeing her husband so heartlessly sign the document and leave with a beaming smile, she was naturally heartbroken. Hearing what the young master said, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Mo Hua gently comforted her, "It's not necessarily a bad thing for you and the children to leave such a heartless person."

Today, I've taken it upon myself to sell you three;

Who knows what other outrageous things they might do tomorrow?

Even if the young master releases you from your slave status, you will still be trapped in the clutches of evil if you don't leave the source of trouble.

If you're raising the child alone from now on, life will inevitably be tough.

I have some personal savings here; if you don't mind, take them. At least we can settle down for now!

“Why would I need your personal savings?” Jiang Chen said with a smile, holding a fan. “Now that I’ve taken charge of this, there’s no reason for me to give up halfway.”

Zhang is an admirable woman.

You possess the shining qualities of women of this era, as well as a courage that most women lack.

While working hard without complaint, they can also cut their losses in time to pursue freedom and an ideal life.

You did a great job on that!

From today onwards, your name will no longer be Zhang.

I'll give you a name, Zhang Qingzhu.

As the saying goes: "Clinging firmly to the green hills, its roots firmly planted in the broken rocks. Enduring countless trials and tribulations, it remains steadfast against the winds from all directions."

You possess the unwavering strength and resilience of bamboo; from this day forward, educate your two children well. Teach them to read and understand principles from a young age, and never let them become like their father, solely driven by profit.

Qingzhu, you should go back and rest first.

Tomorrow I'll have the steward take you and the three of you to the government office to be released from your slave status. Also, I have some work to arrange for you."

"Zhang Qingzhu? I, a woman, actually have a name..." She was clearly overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and praise, and was somewhat at a loss for words. She hurriedly knelt down to thank the young master for bestowing a name upon her.

She then left with the steward, overjoyed, and even forgot to ask Young Master Xue what kind of work he would give her.

"Greetings, young master." Despite his inner panic, the Taoist priest maintained his dignified demeanor and entered the study to greet Young Master Xue.

After he finished dealing with the matter, he winked and gestured for everyone to leave.

When only the two of them remained in the study, the Taoist priest's legs went weak and he slumped into a chair, patting his chest in fear as he said, "Great Immortal, what exactly do you two want to do?"

I just saw that person!

Compared to you, his window frame is not only inferior to the window itself.

It's like... like a phoenix was stuffed into an eggshell!

Anyway, I could see it clearly; the golden light enveloped him, shining brightly!

This child is no ordinary creature; he is just waiting for the right moment to rise and transform into a dragon, soaring into the sky!

Immortal, are you having a magical duel with that person?

When gods fight, mortals suffer. Farewell, farewell, this humble Taoist must depart now!

Jiang Chen's face darkened. "He's a phoenix, and I'm just a window frame?"

Taoist priest:……

"Aren't you missing the point? It was just an analogy, an example. You're the real dragon and he's just a chick, okay? Anyway, I can't get involved anymore, or I'll lose my life sooner or later!"

Seeing that he was really desperate and wanted to run away, Jiang Chen threw him a small piece of gold.

"No, no, this... this isn't about the money anymore!" The Taoist priest hesitated, wanting to take the money but not daring to, his heart filled with anxiety. "As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain, you two..."

Wait, something's not right!

"Please wait a moment, Master, while I perform my calculations!"

A moment later, the once clear sky began to rumble with thunder again.

"Wow!" the little white kitten exclaimed, covering its mouth in surprise. "Could this be another coincidence? Will it really be struck by lightning?"

Jiang Chen also curiously looked out the window at the sky, and sure enough, there was only a dark cloud drifting over, accompanied by lightning and thunder, which looked quite frightening.

"We can't push it any further." The Taoist priest quickly withdrew his hand gesture and lowered his voice, saying, "No wonder that evil spirit glared at me fiercely in the courtyard just now. It turns out it was afraid that I would ruin things."

it's him!

They planned to seize the fortune that the Xue family had painstakingly cultivated, in order to conceal their true aura.

This is tricky, Master.

Although I don't know why he was willing to be your servant, the golden light protecting his body is absolutely true.

If you fight him to the death, one of you will surely die!

This Taoist priest has some real skills, but his martial arts ability is lacking.

Jiang Chen beckoned him forward with her finger and asked mysteriously, "Want to make big money?"

"Money earned by risking one's life?"

“You can avoid him.” Jiang Chen grinned mischievously and said in a low voice, “First, help me put in a good word with the old man.”

Then you should leave the manor and do things for me, and stay away from that monster. He doesn't have the power to cause trouble for people at will yet.
