320: Chapter 321 Is the other side a stud pig?!

Deacon Li Su immediately spoke up from the side:

"This Longmai Mountain was originally where the Li Family first initiated the conflict... Ye Changge fought three opponents alone and, relying on the power of his Talisman Array, suppressed and killed two Old Ancestors of the Li Family on the spot, thereby taking the Opportunity to annex the Spiritual Land of Longmai Mountain. From start to finish, the Li Family provoked first; the Ye Family was merely forced to counterattack."

Meng Qingcheng had finished reading the jade slip by this time, and she tapped her fingertips lightly against the armrest.

Mastery of the Talisman Array, fighting three opponents alone, and slaying three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Her pair of cold, beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Although in her eyes, such Foundation Establishment Cultivators from small families were all a bunch of straw bags whose cultivation levels were piled up using Medicinal Pills, and whose combat strength was mediocre, they could not be mentioned in the same breath as a Core Formation True Person from a major Sect like herself.

But for the other party to have just reached the Foundation Establishment stage and yet be able to fight three opponents alone and kill three Cultivators of the same rank was indeed not easy at all.

At the very least, it showed that this person had rich experience in combat and was by no means an embroidered pillow with nothing but cultivation level.

However, when her gaze swept over the descriptions in the jade slip regarding "acting as a Protector for his Dao Companion to achieve a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough" and "newly marrying a Formation Great Master as a Dao Companion," she inexplicably felt somewhat displeased.

What is going on with this person?

She had given him her Spiritual Qi, thinking he could focus on Cultivation and perhaps achieve something in the future.

But looking at it now, the women by his side were being replaced one after another; first marrying wives and taking concubines, and later marrying a Formation Great Master—could he simply not live without women?

Meng Qingcheng recalled that she had investigated him years ago, and the intelligence at that time had stated: "Has multiple concubines and several offspring."

Now, years later, upon investigating again, she found that he still had this same character, and it had even intensified—the women by his side had not decreased, but instead had become more numerous.

As a Cultivator, how could one go far on the Dao if they spent their days indulging in affairs between men and women?

She felt vaguely irritated in her heart, yet she couldn't help but want to know more.

Just how many wives and concubines did this person have now? How many offspring? She wanted to see just how absurd this "Old Ancestor of Longmai Mountain" had become.

Meng Qingcheng immediately asked Deacon Li Su, who was standing respectfully below:

"Do you have detailed information about him?"

Deacon Li Su hurriedly cupped his hands and said respectfully:

"Replying to the Hall Master, your subordinate knows that you are quite concerned about this person, Ye Changge, so I have specially brought his detailed intelligence from recent years."

Meng Qingcheng nodded slightly and waved her hand. The jade slip in Deacon Li Su's hand flew into the air and landed in her palm. She pressed the jade slip against her brow and injected her Divine Sense into it.

Information flooded in like a tide—

Ye Changge, Old Ancestor of the Ye Family of Longmai Mountain, approximately twenty-five years old. Foundation Establishment Second Layer cultivation.

Wives: Three principal wives (Lu Shiqing, Lu Shiyin, Xiao Caiyue), one Dao Companion (Xia Qingyue, True Disciple of Lingxiao Sect), thirty-four concubines.

Offspring: A total of sixty-seven.

Meng Qingcheng's hand holding the jade slip paused slightly.

Three wives, one Dao Companion, thirty-four concubines.

This number was one thing; in the Cultivation World, it was common for the strong to have many wives and concubines. While she didn't like it, she wasn't too surprised.

But sixty-seven offspring?

Meng Qingcheng took a deep breath and could no longer hold back.

She wished she could fly straight to Longmai Mountain and question that bastard to his face— "Are you a stud?"

Giving birth to so many, what do you want to do?

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had only been Cultivating for seven or eight years at most; excluding the time spent on Cultivation, combat, and managing the Family, that averaged nearly ten children a year? What did he think Cultivation was? What did he think affairs between men and women were?

Meng Qingcheng's slender fingers gripped the jade slip tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She knew clearly that for a Cultivator, affairs between men and women not only consumed time and energy but were even more likely to deplete Qi and blood essence, which was greatly detrimental to Cultivation. How many talented Cultivators had ultimately faded into mediocrity and missed their chance at the Dao precisely because they indulged in the pleasures of love?

Yet this person, under these circumstances, had actually reached the Foundation Establishment Second Layer at twenty-five?

She checked the records of his cultivation in the intelligence again—Awakening his Spiritual Root at eighteen, reaching Foundation Establishment in his early twenties, and now at twenty-five, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Second Layer.

This speed of Cultivation, even in a major Sect like the Lingxiao Sect, could be considered outstanding.

If he were an evil Cultivator or a demonic Cultivator, relying on plundering techniques to rapidly increase his cultivation by stealing from others, that would be understandable.

But just now, her Divine Sense had swept over him, and she clearly perceived that his Dharma power was upright, peaceful, and magnificent, even carrying a hint of the mysterious charm of Yin and Yang fusion; it was by no means the sinister and dark aura of demonic paths.

Then how on earth did he do it?

Having sixty-seven children while still maintaining such a fast speed of Cultivation?

The more Meng Qingcheng thought about it, the more irritated she became, her hand holding the jade slip trembling slightly.

Damn it!

The moment she thought about how she had given her Spiritual Qi to such a... such a "stud," a wave of annoyance washed over her. Back then in the Secret Realm, she had been poisoned with a strange toxin and had no choice but to... but that was a situation she couldn't help. Afterward, she had given him the foundation establishment pill and spiritual items, thinking the matter was settled and there would be no further entanglements.

Who would have thought that this person's name would appear in her field of vision again and again, impossible to avoid.

If she had known he was like this, she would have rather...

Meng Qingcheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning emotions in her heart.

She closed her eyes, was silent for a moment, and then slowly opened them again.

Her gaze fell back onto the jade slip.

Why did Outer Sect Elder Meng Tiande want to frame this person?

This matter was quite suspicious.

She remembered that Outer Sect Elder Meng Tiande's great-great-grandson, Meng Zilang, had been killed while out on training several months ago, and the culprit remained unknown to this day. The Law Enforcement Hall had investigated the matter, but there were few clues, and it ultimately ended up unresolved.

As the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Meng Qingcheng actually knew more of the inside story.

Meng Zilang had died suspiciously; the location where he last appeared before his death.

And her disciple, Xia Qingyue, happened to be there during that time...

She had once asked Xia Qingyue privately if she knew about this.

Xia Qingyue just shook her head faintly and said she didn't know.

Meng Qingcheng did not pursue the questioning then. But now, looking at the intelligence on Ye Changge's combat strength, she gradually had some realization in her heart.

Fighting three opponents alone and slaying three Foundation Establishment Cultivators—this person indeed had the strength to kill Meng Zilang.

However, Meng Zilang was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He was Outer Sect Elder Meng Tiande's great-great-grandson, practiced the Dao of the Sword, had cultivation that had already reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and was a Core Disciple of the Qingyun Sect with hopes of becoming a True Disciple. Such a figure possessed countless Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, and life-saving measures; how could he be easily slain by an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator from a small Family?

Unless...

Ye Changge had an extraordinary Opportunity, a secret, or there was an unparalleled expert standing behind him.

Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible.

Meng Qingcheng's eyes flickered, and a thought emerged in her mind.

"This person is actually a good candidate."

She had originally felt that Ye Changge had little hope of even reaching Foundation Establishment, and at most, he would be a mediocre little Cultivator with no further intersection with her.
