Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 301:
Chapter 301: Chapter 300 Your Father is the Master of the Demonic Sect_1
Upon hearing Xiao Qi’s words, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at Li Haoran, their eyes odd.
It seemed that there was a former Sect Master right here.
“Hey, hey, hey, why are you all staring at me!” Li Haoran exclaimed angrily.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou retreated their gazes. Indeed, it was not only the Nine Nether Sect that had former Sect Masters, the Yaoyang Sect and the Ruthless Sect could have one, too.
Besides, Qin Haoran had been so impoverished, reduced to a state where he was hunted down by his creditor; he didn’t seem like a man who could possess treasures.
“Who is Lord Mi? Who is the ‘previous Sect Master’ that Lord Mi mentioned? What is the ‘leftover treasure’?” Qin Yanyan asked a string of questions.
In the whole Central Continent, the only factions with the position of “Sect Master” were the Four Great Devil Sects, uh no, the Three Great Demon Sects.
Perhaps this Lord Mi was a member of the Three Great Demon Sects.
Xiao Qi was startled by Qin Yanyan’s demeanor, she shook her head saying “I don’t know, Lord Mi has unidirectional contact with us. He placed a spiritual restriction in our souls, obliging us to heed his commands. He rarely informs us of anything.”
“Every time Lord Mi came to collect Yang Qi, he would ask us if there occurred any strange things in Guhuai Town, or if we discovered any unusual items.”
Xiao Qi and her companions were unaware of Lord Mi’s true identity.
Chief Fan was also startled. He knew that Xiao Qi and her two companions belonged to Lord Mi’s command, but Lord Mi was a member of the Three Great Demon Sects.
If he had known about this, he would never have dared to use Xiao Qi and her companions for publicity purposes.
No matter how much he longed for achievement, he wouldn’t dare to associate himself with the Three Great Demon Sects.
It was known that after the Eternity Sect was eradicated, many officials who had worked with the Eternity Sect for their career fell from grace, causing tremors within the political center.
Speaking of which, the Eternity Sect was discovered by the Seek Dao Sect. The Seek Dao Sect was indeed worthy of being one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.
No one knew which big shot within the Seek Dao Sect had discovered the headquarter of the Eternity Sect.
“Fairy, do the three of them have a spiritual restriction in their souls?” As for the knowledge about the soul, Lu Yang was utterly ignorant. He asked Fairy Eternity, who seemed to know everything about it.
“Yes, but the method of placing the restriction was rather crude, just beginner’s level. Do you want me to erase it?”
Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then asked, “Can Lord Mi detect it?”
“Are you kidding, do you even know who I am? Even if Lord Mi was here, he would not notice that the restriction he left had been erased!”
“Then I will have to trouble you, Fairy.”
Lu Yang informed the three ghost women that Lord Mi was someone from the demonic sect, which instantly frightened them into trembling like sieve, insisting repeatedly that they were good ghosts and had no connections with the demonic sect.
Lu Yang smiled, “Of course I know that the three of you have no connection with the demonic sect. I just worry that under Lord Mi’s control, you might do something against your own will. So, I want to erase your restrictions, and hereafter the Seek Dao Sect will supervise your actions to ensure you don’t partake in any evil deeds, is that alright?”
The three ghosts didn’t dare to disagree and nodded vigorously.
Fairy Eternity secretly intervened to erase the restrictions left by Lord Mi and counterfeit an identical restriction. Anybody below the Unification stage would not be able to spot any crack in it.
The three ghosts felt a sense of relief in their souls, the longstanding restriction on their souls was gone.
Xiao Qi timidly raised her hand and hesitated before asking, “Um, can we go back now? It’s almost time for our lesson.”
They taught the students every day, punctually and dedicatedly.
“Just right, we’ve gathered enough information.” Everyone prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Lu Yang reminded, “Chief, matters related to the demonic sect are significant. Mayor Fan, please refrain from sharing the news of our visit.”
Now that they knew about the traces of the demonic sect here, they had to take certain steps before heading back.
“Naturally.” Chief Fan nodded. When it comes to the demonic sect, it’s better left to the experts like the Seek Dao Sect to deal with it. He, being an insignificant person, decided not to get involved.
After saying goodbye to Chief Fan, the group of four humans and three ghosts returned to the ruined temple. The three ghosts went to the front hall for the lesson while the four humans discussed their next steps in a side room.
In front of the Mayor, there were certain things that Li Haoran was uncomfortable saying. Now that they were alone, it was no harm in speaking, “Actually, I remember coming to Guhuai Town in my past life to hide something. I shielded it from causality, spiritual sense and all other methods of investigation; I didn’t want anyone to find it, it’s definitely a treasure.”
“There really is a treasure in this place?”
“Is Lord Mi of the Nine Nether Sect for real?”
“Where did you hide the treasure?”
“What is the treasure?”
“You were so poor in your past life, how could you have left a treasure?”
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou voiced different exclamations.
Li Haoran rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, “It’s just a fragment of memory, how could I remember it that clearly? But it’s true that there is something in Guhuai Town.”
“Wait, what are you three talking about?” Qin Yanyan was confused. What treasure? What Nine Nether Sect?
What did this have to do with her ex-father?
The three exchanged glances. Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could see Li Haoran’s helplessness.
“Qin Yanyan and Su Yiren will learn about this thing sooner or later. Instead of being vague, why not tell them now?” Lu Yang persuaded. As Qin Yanyan’s uncle, he believed his niece had the right to know the truth.
Meng Jingzhou was of the same opinion.
Li Haoran hesitated for a moment, then decided to reveal the true identity of Qin Haoran to his former daughter.
“Actually, your father Qin Haoran was the former Sect Master of the Nine Nether Sect…”
Li Haoran disclosed everything about the matter. As Qin Yanyan listened, her expression grew increasingly strange. She never thought that her never-seen father would be the Sect Master of a demonic sect and an expert in deceiving, with colossal debt.
After silently listening to the information about her father, Qin Yanyan sighed deeply, then revealed a bitter smile of helplessness. The identity of her father was the Sect Master of a demonic sect, what other reaction could she possibly have? She could only accept it.
In fact, she didn’t have any feelings for Qin Haoran. She had lived with Su Yiren since she was a child. “Qin Haoran” was more like a symbol named “father” to her.
“Oh, by the way, since your dad was the Sect Master of the demonic sect, your future political career, military service, and participation in the Sect’s entrance exam will be restricted due to political verification.” Lu Yang kindly reminded her. He had recently been brushing up on the laws of Great Xia and had achieved something.
Qin Yanyan: “…”
Thank you for reminding me.
Meng Jingzhou also chimed in, “Your parents were married for five hundred years. According to your father’s habits, he must have accrued some debt during these five hundred years. But don’t worry, your mother didn’t know when your father borrowed money, and all the money was used in the construction of the Nine Nether Sect. According to the law, such debt does not belong to marital debt, your mother doesn’t have to repay.”
Meng Jingzhou was quite adept at economic laws.
Qin Yanyan: “…”
I also thank you for the reminder.
Qin Yanyan could feel the solicitude from her two uncles.
“Then my father urgently broke through Transcendance Tribulation Stage and talked about fighting for a future for my mother and me…”
Li Haoran solemnly nodded, “In order to increase his borrowing limit.”
“And to enhance his ability to withstand late repayments.”
