I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chapter 166: Big Sister

The attack has come to an end, but the real storm has just begun.

As the law enforcement disciples chase after the fleeing attackers, the Chu family members, who are dealing with the aftermath, are greeted by a heavyweight figure.

"Greetings, Holy Maiden!"

With flowing black hair tied up in a simple high ponytail and flawless snow-white skin, she wears a plain white robe. Her beautiful face exudes a serene and ethereal aura, with a graceful figure that sways like a delicate willow in the wind.

She is Yan Shu, the Holy Maiden of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, one of the candidates for the future Holy Lord, and the chief disciple under the Holy Lord's command.

Don't be fooled by her youthful and charming appearance, like that of a girl in her twenties. In reality, she is nearly five hundred years old and has reached the Nascent Soul stage, a true "Nascent Soul old monster" in terms of cultivation.

"Senior Sister!"

Upon seeing her, Chu Shen bows and greets her, as he is also a disciple of the Holy Lord and a newcomer in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace's elite ranking.

"Junior Brother, please rise quickly. '180' has caused you trouble."

Yan Shu shows a bit more warmth towards him, perhaps due to their shared sect affiliation and the recent attack.

Chu Shen had no intention of bowing down in the first place, and with tears welling up in his eyes, he stands up straight and says, "Senior Sister, there are bad people in our Langxuan Heavenly Palace!"

Yan Shu signals to the people around her, and they step back, creating a barrier to prevent others from overhearing their conversation.

When she saw that the preparations were done well, she slowly praised, "Junior Brother is indeed clever, and has already figured out the key to this attack."

Chu Shen didn't hide anything from her, showing off his abilities and taking advantage of the situation: "What kind of place is Langxuan Heavenly Palace? It is a sacred place in the cultivation world. Who would dare to come here and abduct people, as if they have the guts of a bear and a leopard? Could it be the family members of the Holy Lord's disciples or the talented newcomers?"

Furthermore, the timing of the arrival of the attackers and the control of each step was just right. The precision of their plan could not have been achieved without the cooperation of insiders from the Heavenly Palace.

If it weren't for a fortunate coincidence, I wouldn't have even known that my own family had been kidnapped before the other party made their demands!"

Yan Shu had already grasped the situation before she arrived, so she naturally knew that what Chu Shen said was not false. Her expression also became more serious: "Have you mentioned these speculations to anyone?"

Chu Shen shook his head: "How can I talk about these things with just anyone? Besides Senior Sister, I only mentioned it to the concubines in private, when we were alone, to let them know that this matter is not simple and should not be casually discussed, so as not to burden the sect."

Yan Shu smiled with relief: "It's good that Junior Brother understands."

Then she said coldly: "Although this attack fell on Junior Brother's head and tarnished the reputation of the Heavenly Palace, it actually struck a blow to our Holy Lord's face and gave us disciples of Langxuan Peak a lesson. Our Holy Lord has just recently emerged from seclusion and has the intention of nurturing us. He entrusted some of the mundane affairs of the Heavenly Palace to us, and then something like this happens. The malicious intent behind it is clear."

Chu Shen nodded in agreement. This was something he had thought of when he was comforting the concubines after the battle, which was why he told them not to speak out about their speculations.

The reason was simple. He was the disciple of the Holy Lord, a newcomer in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace's talented ranking. Once news of his family being attacked spread, the most direct questioning would be directed at his master, the Holy Lord.

You can't even protect the home of your own disciple. Are you, the Holy Lord of Langxuan Heaven Palace, just a useless waste? Maybe you should abdicate and let someone more capable take your place.

Among the nine major branches, there are definitely people coveting the position of the Holy Lord. If they are manipulated by someone with ill intentions, the internal turmoil in Heaven Palace will be inevitable.

He even suspected that the other party had already anticipated this. Making the Holy Lord lose face was one of the objectives of this attack.

It can be said that the severity of this incident goes far beyond what is apparent on the surface. The personal visit of Yan Shu, one of the acting Holy Lords, is a strong reaction from the Holy Lord faction regarding this matter.

"Speaking of which, Junior Martial Brother, the details of this case are complicated. Your senior martial brothers and sisters and I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and try to bring you justice. But I'm afraid the outcome may not be satisfactory."

The meaning behind Yan Shu's sigh is nothing more than the fact that this matter may not be fully investigated. No one knows how many people will be implicated and what level of individuals will be involved. After investigating for a while, there will definitely be a lot of resistance, forcing them to drop the matter.

But Chu Shen also sensed another layer of meaning: "Senior Martial Sister, do you already have some suspicions?"

Yan Shu looked at him, remained silent for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Junior Martial Brother to be so young and yet so intelligent. You are nothing like me. The twists and turns in this matter will only be revealed after a hundred turns."

In addition to the currently uncertain objectives of this attack, it is clear that there are hidden political intentions. The indigenous education level and information channels in Dongxuan Heaven are limited, and most people have little concept of this kind of struggle. Only through long-term personal involvement can one slowly accumulate experience and gradually gain corresponding abilities.

But Chu Shen comes from Blue Star, where there are numerous real-life cases on the internet, and political discussions are everywhere. In life, the thirty-six strategies are played out in all walks of life. The city's tricks are deep, and even the rural roads are slippery. Under the influence of what he has heard and seen, he is more sensitive to these things.

"Please give me some hints, Senior Martial Sister!"

Yan Shu sighed: "Since my junior brother has suffered, if I continue to hide and conceal, it will only make things worse for me... Junior brother, do you know that there have been more than X cases similar to yours?"

Based on the information we have, over the years, there have been no less than a hundred cases similar to the Chu Family Manor in the Heavenly Palace. "The most recent ten cases can even be traced back thousands of years.

Chu Shen was truly shocked: "Are these thieves so audacious?"

However, Yan Shu had a meaningful expression on her face: "Audacious? No, they are not audacious. Just think about it, it took them thousands of years to commit just over a hundred cases that were clearly discovered. Even if there are some that haven't been discovered, it probably wouldn't exceed three hundred. How clever, secretive, and low-key their crimes are.

Their crimes are not for the purpose of showcasing their existence; they have clear targets.

Let me remind you, according to the records of past cases, those targeted by them are generally fortunate individuals with rare opportunities or outstanding talents and virtues.

And as for you, junior brother... I've heard that those who have had worldly affairs with you receive some special benefits."

Chu Shen's face turned ugly, and he spoke through gritted teeth: "That's right, because I happened to obtain some related special opportunities by chance, I even took in several concubines... So it makes sense that they are interested in my opportunities, right?"

Yan Shu smiled: "Most likely."

Chu Shen didn't regret his actions of having Xiao Hongling help him find suitable concubines. It was impossible to hide the fact that there were special benefits after being with him, as the changes with his concubines were happening constantly and observant people would notice.

It can only be said that the hidden hands behind the attack on the Chu Family Manor were too cunning. They didn't want to give him women but still wanted to gain benefits, so they decided to capture him and his concubines.

This clarifies one of the objectives of the hidden hands behind the scenes.
