78: Finally pregnant, Tianlinggen

“This is, Centurion Yang?!”

However, just a second before Ku He was about to depart,

a shocked voice suddenly rang out. Ku He’s steps faltered, and he stared intently at him.

“Who did you say?”

“Centurion Yang… Centurion Yang, yes. I couldn’t be mistaken. He’s Yang Zhantang, the sixth young master of the Yang Family in Central Capital.

The Yang Valley Guard Post sent people over a few days ago to ask if Centurion Yang had been here.

They asked us to keep an eye out.

I couldn’t be mistaken!”

At this, he swallowed and said, “So, my lord, is there some misunderstanding here? Are we really doing the right thing?”

In reality, even the banner officer knew that Ku He’s attempt to pin the market’s attack on Xiao Qingyuan and the others wouldn’t withstand scrutiny.

If it were local bumpkins, it would be fine.

If the people don’t accuse, the officials don’t investigate. They themselves are the officials.

Whatever they wanted to do was just a matter of a single word.

Everyone was here to make illicit gains.

If something went wrong, the highest-ranking person would be unlucky.

But if they dared to involve the Yang Family, it would be different.

The Yang Family alone could drag everyone down.

What he didn’t finish saying was, if someone from above really came down to investigate, you, the true mastermind, would be in for a world of trouble!

Ku He snatched Yang Zhantang’s portrait.

He laughed in extreme anger: “Hahaha, Yang Family’s Sixth Young Master, good! Good, good, good!”

“I was wondering who dared to oppose me and steal my things!”

“So it was him!”

“It’s true that his Yang Family is deeply entrenched in the Zhenwu Guard, but do I, Ku He, fear him?”

However, though he said this, he himself was now stuck because of this portrait.

He couldn’t advance, nor could he retreat.

Mo Dengxian’s heart skipped a beat at the sight, and he saw Ku He’s gaze turn back to him, his eyes gradually growing fierce.

He quickly cried out, “My lord!”

“Let’s not talk about the market for now, but the Foundation Establishment Pill that my Mo Family offered you was indeed snatched by that person in the middle with his own hands!

My son pledged allegiance to you long ago, but now he is severely injured and has lost both his legs.”

As he spoke, he started sobbing again: “My lord, no matter what, my son is also a True Spiritual Root at Qi Training Completion, and he originally had a great chance to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. Even if not for yourself, you must seek justice for your subordinate!”

Ku He pondered for a long time upon hearing this.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter: “That’s right, that’s right! The market incident still needs investigation, but not only did Yang Zhantang’s people snatch the treasure the Mo Family gave me, they also crippled my most capable subordinate! I’m in the right no matter where this matter is brought!

So, for now, brothers, go back.

In a few days, I will go to the Prefectural Guard to complain and demand an explanation from them!

Dismiss!”

With that, he turned and left.

He didn’t even mention the matter of framing.

He had lost a lot of face today, and now he needed to find a few young women to vent his frustration.

And the Foundation Establishment Pill, Yang Zhantang absolutely had to return it to him!

His heart was filled with intense hatred.

He called his confidant and gave instructions.

They must secretly investigate the identities of Xiao Qingyuan, Xiao Yanrou, and the others.

If he couldn’t deal with Yang Zhantang, could he not deal with a few subordinates?

That’s right.

He had mistakenly assumed Xiao Qingyuan and the others were banner officers or similar who had pledged allegiance to Yang Zhantang.

He planned to start with the soft targets.

As for the ice-attribute Spell described by Mo Dengxian, ha!

He sneered inwardly.

They were just some Foundation Establishment spiritual talismans, he wasn’t without them. It was just that these country bumpkins hadn’t recognized them.

Ice-attribute Spell, what kind of joke was that?

Mo Wendao still wanted to say something to Ku He.

But he was pushed away.

Ku He casually called two people to ‘escort’ him out, not too politely.

The main door slammed shut with a bang.

As he left, he looked back once more at the vermilion red door.

For a long, long time.

Finally, he turned and left without a word.

His figure disappeared into the market, which had already become a ruin… “Wifey, tell me, what exactly is this Yang fellow up to? You interact with Little Aunt more, so remind her later not to get too close to that guy.”

“That Yang Zhantang has a bit of a twisted side to him. The more Little Aunt beats him, the more excited he gets. In short, I can’t do anything about him!”

Xiao Qingyuan said with a look of disgust.

Yang Zhantang’s injuries had mostly healed.

But not only did the fellow not leave, he kept running to Yan Shi’s place every few days.

He was incredibly diligent, even taking it upon himself to help Yan Shi train soldiers.

Now, there were over three thousand Martial Artist guards cultivated by the immortal clan.

The most talented among them were even close to Breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

They were currently stationed at the steel mill formed by the miners.

To be honest, Xiao Qingyuan hadn’t paid much attention to these Martial Artist guards from the beginning.

As his Cultivation grew higher, he had long since cast it aside.

If Yang Zhantang hadn’t been running over there every few days, Xiao Qingyuan might not have even remembered them.

Guanyin Nu, however, looked somewhat surprised.

“How could that be? Didn’t they say Centurion Yang saved Cousin and Cousin-in-law before? Recently, he’s been actively helping our family train soldiers, and I heard he even brought out many Martial Artist manuals that can Cultivate to Body Refining Fourth Layer.

Many guards respect him greatly!”

Guanyin Nu blinked her eyes.

Her face was full of innocence.

In reality, she had already noticed that this Centurion Yang seemed to have a bit of a liking for Little Aunt.

She could see it, but she wouldn’t say anything.

She touched her belly.

Her face was filled with tenderness.

Ever since her husband had gotten that Cultivation Technique from who knows where,

he had been pulling her along to study it every day.

At first, she thought it was just some sort of novelty Xiao Qingyuan had gotten.

She was reluctant to agree.

But after being coaxed into trying it once, she didn’t expect that those strange movements could actually increase Cultivation.

In just half a month, she had actually Breakthrough to Qi Refining Sixth Layer, and was even not far from the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase.

It was just that her husband had been asking for it a bit too frequently lately.

It made her somewhat unable to cope.

Seeing Xiao Qingyuan’s gradually changing gaze, her pretty face suddenly flushed.

“Husband, now that the sisters are all pregnant, and Little Qing is not far from giving birth, I, as the elder sister, should also prepare early.”

However, how could Xiao Qingyuan let her go?

He quickly embraced her.

He kissed her on her fair swan-like neck and chuckled, “That won’t do, Guanyin Nu. You promised me earlier that we’d try the most difficult move. You can’t go back on your word.”

Zhao Guanyin was startled at the words.

It was only daytime now.

She quickly shook her head at his words.

However, how could Xiao Qingyuan let her go?

As he spoke, he had already picked her up.

Guanyin Nu immediately let out a cry of surprise.

When she came back to her senses, she was already on the bed.

One of her ankles was already held in Xiao Qingyuan’s hand.

Before long, she could no longer think calmly.

Pleasant sobs emanated from the room.

For a long, long time.

Until Guanyin Nu once again tightly embraced Xiao Qingyuan’s neck.

After working hard for so long,

the reincarnation seal finally reacted again.

Xiao Qingyuan’s heart filled with joy.

His eyes suddenly became scorching hot, and his Spiritual Root also trembled violently.

A feeling as if he was more closely connected to the world suddenly emerged.

Xiao Qingyuan’s expression lit up with joy.

His eldest wife’s third child was finally conceived!
