Chapter 258: Chapter 184: Cyan Bamboo Sword Intent Shatters the Immortal Sect (Part 5)

The first thing is to provide residence and cultivation for those children with spirit roots.

Another point is that if Shen Chongming and his brothers get married in the future, they naturally cannot continue living in the manor.

...

Commandery City of He County.

In the Immortal Garden, Patriarch Mu Changhe of the Mu Family, who was burly and had a crimson complexion, respectfully stood with a young girl before Wei Qiuling.

"Immortal Master, I have heard that the young master of the Shen Family’s wife is already pregnant?"

Wei Qiuling glanced at him and then at the girl beside him.

She saw that the girl’s complexion was like condensed cream, her features were exquisite, she was indeed a rare beauty.

More importantly, there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power on her, which Wei Qiuling immediately identified; this girl was an immortal seedling with spirit roots.

Wei Qiuling vaguely guessed Mu Changhe’s intentions and chuckled, "You are well-informed."

Mu Changhe, hearing this, glanced at her somewhat nervously.

Seeing that she was not angry, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Ever since Luoxia Mountain took control of He County and let the Mu Family manage the affairs of this region, Mu Changhe had been diligently handling the county’s matters on the one hand and collecting a lot of information related to Luoxia Mountain on the other.

His thought was simple; as a subordinate, at the very least, he needed to understand his master clearly.

Upon learning that Wei Qiuling was not only the chief disciple of Luoxia Mountain but also the daughter-in-law of the Shen Family, Mu Changhe paid extra attention to matters regarding the Shen Family.

When Shen Chongming got married, he had emptied his storehouse to send a big gift.

A few days ago, Mu Changhe received news that the young clan leader’s wife was already pregnant. Coincidentally, Wei Qiuling came to inspect He County, so he brought his beloved granddaughter with spirit roots to the Immortal Garden.

"Immortal Master, this is my granddaughter Lingxun, she has a water attribute spirit root."

Mu Changhe quickly introduced her.

Mu Lingxun was very obedient and bowed to pay her respects, then kept her head down and dared not speak.

"Speak, what are your plans."

Wei Qiuling spoke.

Mu Changhe rubbed his hands and chuckled awkwardly, "The blood of Young Clan Leader Shen is vigorous, and now that his wife is pregnant, there should be someone satisfactory to serve him."

"Lingxun has been intelligent since childhood, gentle in character, and... I intend to marry her to Young Clan Leader Shen as a concubine."

While speaking, Mu Changhe carefully observed Wei Qiuling’s expression.

Wei Qiuling said nothing, her gaze returned to Mu Lingxun.

She saw a trace of reluctance and resentment flash in Lingxun’s eyes, and sighed inwardly.

Mu Lingxun did not realize that her expression was fully captured by Wei Qiuling, and felt sorrowful within herself.

As a direct lineage of the Mu Family, possessing spirit roots, her cultivation had reached the second layer of Qi Cultivation.

Furthermore, the Mu Family had gained the favor of Luoxia Mountain, becoming the rulers of He County.

Mu Lingxun always thought that if she worked hard enough, she would have the opportunity to catch the eye of the Immortal Master and be accepted into Luoxia Mountain as a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

Perhaps in the future, she could establish herself within the Immortal Sect through her own efforts and bring protection to her family.

However, a few days ago, her grandfather Mu Changhe called her for a talk, expressing his intention for her to marry into the Anyang Shen Family.

Although she felt a bit resistant at the time, she also heard that although the Anyang Shen Family wasn’t under the rule of the Immortal Sect, they had close relations with several powerful Immortal Sects.

There was even a powerful Sword Cultivator of the Fetal Breathing Realm within the family.

The direct lineage of the family was all talented individuals, even Immortal Wei in front of her was the Shen Family’s daughter-in-law.

Mu Lingxun thought that marrying into the Shen Family didn’t seem so bad.

However, just now she heard her grandfather intended to marry her into the Shen Family as a concubine, and a feeling of bitterness rose in her heart.

The difference between a wife and a concubine is significant.

Marrying into the Shen Family as a concubine meant she would only be worthy of becoming a tool for pleasing and childbirth, with no status to speak of.

From ancient times, young girls often dream, who hasn’t imagined marrying a spouse they favor?

Mu Lingxun didn’t have extravagant hopes, but she never thought she would be reduced to becoming someone’s concubine.

She felt that being born into the Mu Family, possessing spirit roots, becoming a lofty immortal, she could at least have control over some aspects of her fate.

Yet in the end, she still became a high-grade tool for exchanging interests.

"You certainly are shrewd."

Wei Qiuling laughed lightly, "Chongming is the future patriarch of the Shen Family."

With her intentions guessed, Mu Changhe was a bit nervous.

Meanwhile, Mu Lingxun felt a subtle tremor hearing these words.

What does this mean?

Could it be that in the immortal master’s eyes, she’s not even qualified to be someone’s concubine?

Wei Qiuling glanced at her, then spoke to Mu Changhe, "Possessing spirit roots, Qi Cultivation Second Layer, and given her pretty appearance, she barely qualifies as a concubine for Chongming."

"I will initially agree to this, but in the end, Chongming must decide for himself."

"Once there’s news, I will send word to you."

Mu Changhe, hearing this, was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Immortal Master!"

"Lingxun, quickly thank the Immortal Master!"

Mu Lingxun was stunned for a moment, feeling bitter yet still bowed and offered thanks.

"Go now, once matters in He County stabilize, your Mu Family should pay more attention to the Western Wilderness. If there’s extra strength, you should gradually bring the Western Wilderness under control."

Previously, the Hundred Beasts Mountain controlled He County while also overseeing the vast lands of the Western Wilderness.

Now that Luoxia Mountain controls He County, although there’s not much energy to manage the Western Wilderness right now, it can’t be entirely neglected in the future.

Mu Changhe, upon hearing this, had a gleam of insight in his eyes and said, "Rest assured, Immortal Master, I have been preparing all along."
