Longevity: Starting From Getting Down The Mountain And Marrying A Wife

The wind and snow have blocked the way.

Jiang Yunruo, dressed in a black cloak, walked in the alley and secretly stuck an invisibility talisman on himself in a secluded and uninhabited place. Then he quietly sneaked into a small courtyard.

The cold light of the dagger in his hand flickered as it slashed across the neck of a middle-aged man.

Transformed into an assassin.

He left without a trace.

In the study of the Zhong Mansion.

After pondering for a long time, Zhong Yan still couldn't figure out what the flash of inspiration represented.

But he had a feeling that there was something between him and Jiang Yunruo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, that he didn't know about.

"Forget it..."

Zhong Yan temporarily put it aside and let Yansandao bring Li Yangshi for a detailed conversation.

Li Yangshi listened with confusion and said with a bitter smile, "Uncle, this... if I do this, Ping'er will probably resent me!"

Yansandao also looked puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine her husband was selling.

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "No."

"Yes, I will complete the task assigned by Uncle without revealing any flaws!"

After Li Yangshi left, Yansandao said, "Husband, the arrangement you made this morning probably made Big Sister feel uncomfortable."

Zhong Yan said lightly, "What's a little grievance? Since she followed me, she should take care of the entire mansion. How can she handle it if her temperament is not right?"

"Husband is right. By the way, husband, you let Tang Xiaoshu train the Shadow Guards. Is it appropriate for her to report this to the Lord's Mansion?"

The current Yansandao can be said to be one with Zhong Yan, no longer having many superficial concerns. She speaks her mind and asks for advice on things she doesn't understand.

And Tang Xiaoshu's undercover identity was accidentally discovered by Li Shangwen during her trip to recruit disciples, and it was confirmed that it was arranged by the Lord's Mansion.

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Which force in the city doesn't secretly cultivate its own power? Do you think Qin Ben doesn't know? We don't fight for power, we don't rebel. By showing our strength to him, he will be more at ease."

Yansandao nodded, "That's true. In this way, we can also pass on some false information through her at critical moments!"

Zhong Yan pondered for a moment, tapping the table, "Dao'er, find someone to renovate the Xue Mansion. There are more and more people in the mansion, and these two courtyards are not enough. Also, pick a few disciples from the martial arts hall to work in the mansion."

"Yes, good! I have already found a few children I like. I will arrange for them to come to the mansion after they have practiced for a while."

"Husband! Dongcao has something to ask!" A shout came from outside.

"Come in!"

Dongcao walked in, smiling and bowing, nodding to Yansandao and calling her "Second Sister". She handed over a paper schedule.

"Husband, this is the schedule for the sisters to serve you. It is ready to start from next month. I asked Big Sister, she said she wanted to hear your opinion."

Yansandao covered her mouth and smiled, "Husband, you're going to be busy now!"

Zhong Yan glanced at the schedule. With Li Jingqiu included, there were fifteen people, and seven of them were newcomers.

Three times a day, a month's schedule was filled.

Sigh~ just looking at it makes my back ache... Zhong Yan glanced at Dongcao, "Didn't you pay attention to what I said?"

Dongcao was taken aback, her smile instantly disappeared, and she knelt down, "Please speak clearly, husband!"

"Let Jingqiu take a break and let her focus on martial arts training."

"Yes, husband!"

"Also, your arrangement is quite fair, afraid that someone will find fault? Since I have given you the authority, it's up to you to decide. There should be some differences among the many women in the mansion to balance each other and manage them well."

"Yes, Dongcao has taken note."

"One by one, tonight I will go to Yunning."

Zhong Yan handed the schedule back to her, "The newcomers are not at ease, they need someone to guide them. You two come together."

"Yes, thank you for your favor, husband!"

Yansandao and Dongcao smiled at each other, both bowing, knowing that their husband had been storing up for several months, tonight would definitely be a fierce battle, they were really looking forward to it!

At this moment, Zhong Yan suddenly frowned.

Dongcao hurriedly asked, "Husband, is there something wrong?"

Zhong Yan pursed his lips and said, "Dao'er, find a time to dispose of one of the two houses bought in Beijie, no need to deliberately conceal it."

"Yes! Dao'er will handle it properly!"

Although she didn't understand, Yansandao didn't hesitate to respond. She knew that her husband was not someone who killed indiscriminately. If it involved killing, it must be of great importance.

...

...

Wuyi Lane, Yu Mansion.

They had braved the wind and snow all the way.

Returning home, Yu Qingyao finally calmed down and confirmed that what Yansandao said was true. She was actually jealous.

A year of acquaintance and getting along.

She only realized unconsciously that she had already developed feelings for the other person.

Looking at the storage bag in front of her containing a hundred spirit stones and various elixirs, Yu Qingyao bit her lip, her heart was in chaos, full of contradictions and entanglements.

At this moment.

She believed that if she really left, Zhong Yan would not cause trouble again.

But she couldn't bear it when she asked herself.

"Is it because I can't bear the benefits he gave me?"

Yu Qingyao shook her head inwardly, and Zhong Yan's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

A bit domineering, a bit mischievous, but not cruel.

Courageous and strategic, calm in the face of change, exuding the charm of a confident man.

Especially during the morning meetings.

Looking back now, I was just a fangirl at that time, with stars in my eyes and restless blood flowing through my body.

"Although this Zhong Yan is annoying, I have to admit that he is indeed excellent."

Yuyao reminisced for a long time and realized that despite her many years of cultivation and encounters with many cultivators, Zhong Yan, despite his low cultivation level, was undoubtedly the most shining one among them.

Moreover, he was so good-looking that she was immediately attracted to him when she first saw him.

"Hmph~ He must have used some cunning plan that I don't know about to make me have these feelings for him!"

"And Ping'er sister was also deliberately arranged by him!"

As she thought about this, there was a commotion outside the courtyard.

It was Jiang Ping's voice.

"I'm here!"

Yuyao sighed, waved her hand to put away the storage bag around her waist, put on a smile, and ran out to open the door.

"Why did Sister Yuyao suddenly leave? There's still a banquet tonight!"

"Oh, I'm feeling a bit unwell, so I came back first. Sorry, Ping'er sister, I forgot to tell you. Come in and let's talk!"

Inside the house, Jiang Ping looked at Yuyao's face and noticed the worry between her eyebrows. "Sister Yuyao, do you have something on your mind?"

It must be said that Jiang Ping was indeed skilled in observing words and expressions, especially after spending a few years with Zhong Yan. Now, with just a glance or a gesture from her husband, she could basically understand his intentions.

Yuyao looked at her and asked, "Did your husband send you here?"

Jiang Ping was slightly stunned, raised her palm and said, "I promise! I really came because I couldn't find Sister Yuyao and wanted to ask about her. My husband is busy in the study, and I haven't seen him since the council meeting."

Busy seeking pleasure and kissing... Yuyao felt a bit unhappy in her heart, but she was quite moved by Jiang Ping in front of her.

Just because she couldn't find him, she personally came to inquire, without even taking a sedan chair.

And in their usual interactions, she could also feel the sincerity of the other party, a genuine connection with herself.

"Thank you, Ping'er sister. It's Yuyao's good fortune to know you!"

Jiang Ping smiled, her eyes flickered, and she held the other's hand, saying seriously, "If my husband said anything that made Sister Yuyao unhappy, please don't take it to heart."

"I don't know what agreements my husband and sister have in private, but why did you attend today's council meeting? My husband said that everyone present is on the same side."

"In fact, both you and I know that my husband has done it. He wants to establish a family. Although it is mundane now, it will definitely become a cultivation family in the future."

"I can see that my husband likes you, and Sister Yuyao also has him in her heart, so why not be together?"

Yuyao blushed, her lips moved, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Ping held her hand and exerted a little force. "I am of low status. Being bought back by my husband is the greatest luck of my life. Although I have limited knowledge, I can still distinguish right from wrong.

Not speaking ill of others, at the very least, my husband treats me with more favor than the heavens. My husband is good to every sister in the mansion. I haven't been to many places, but in Qingyang, my husband is definitely the first person to treat women with such respect!"

After a pause, Jiang Ping solemnly said, "He treats us mortal women like this, let alone Sister who is a cultivator?"

"When I first entered the Zhong Mansion, I never thought that my husband would break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. But now he has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and is still a high-grade talisman master!"

"Mortals only have a few decades of lifespan. My husband has the ability to earn more cultivation resources. In the future, it will definitely be you, Sister, who will fly together with my husband, the first cultivator to marry into the Zhong Mansion! My current status is the best proof!"

Yu Qingyao lowered her head and fell silent.

Jiang Ping continued, "Let's not talk about these things. What is the most important thing for a woman in her lifetime? Naturally, it is to marry the man she likes! How many women in this world can't get what they want and can only accept arrangements?"

"If Sister has such feelings for my husband, seize the opportunity and avoid regret in the future. If you don't have such intentions, then I have spoken out of turn as a younger sister."

"Sister, rest assured, my husband is always reasonable and will not force anything."

Yu Qingyao looked at her face and couldn't help but ask, "You don't mind?"

"What do I mind?"

Jiang Ping paused, pursed her lips as if seriously pondering, and then said, "If Sister minds, I will ask my husband to divorce all the sisters, including me."

Yu Qingyao was stunned.

"Really, I have no regrets or complaints. For my husband, I am willing to do anything!"

...

That night.

The Zhong Mansion held a family banquet, and several people from the Li Mansion also attended.

Before the banquet started.

Jiang Ping occasionally looked towards the outer hall, until a figure appeared, and she immediately smiled, "Husband, Qingyao Immortal Master is here!"

Yu Qingyao, who had changed out of her usual tight-fitting attire, put on a purple dress and draped a fur coat over her shoulders, looking stunningly beautiful.

Zhong Yan was surprised. He thought he would have to wait at least three days, but he couldn't help but look at his wife. Obviously, she had put in a lot of effort.

"Qingyao Immortal Master, please sit here!" Jiang Ping stepped forward.

Yu Qingyao's pretty face turned red. She walked to the center, not knowing how much courage she had gathered, lowered her head slightly, and instead of saluting with a cupped fist, she bowed.

"I, I have seen my husband, and all the sisters..."

The room fell silent.

Even Zhong Yan was stunned.

This was not the character of the Guo King.

Only he could understand the determination behind Yu Qingyao's actions.

"Come forward and sit!"

There was a round of enthusiastic applause.
