Chapter 606: Qu Changge: Is this a person of the Demon Path!? (2)
Above hung a signboard “Bihu Mountain Spiritual Wine Shop.”
“Bihu Mountain Spiritual Wine Shop?”
Qu Changge looked at the shop and walked straight in.
Inside, various drinks were displayed, and a maid immediately came forward to receive him, asking what Qu Changge needed.
“I’ll just look around.”
...Qu Changge softly spoke, heading deeper into the shop.
“This customer, I am the shopkeeper of this Spiritual Wine Shop, may I know if you need anything?”
Inside the store, a young man who was browsing through books saw Qu Changge, put down his books, showed a slight smile, stood up, and courteously spoke.
“Zhenzhen…”
Qu Changge looked at the young man in front of him, dressed in a blue silk robe, with an elegant and handsome demeanor, and momentarily hesitated.Even without using the blood snake in his sleeve, he knew that the other was his sister’s son, his own nephew.
Because he looked so much alike!
Especially the facial features around the eyebrows and eyes, the slightly long eye corners when he smiled, just exactly like his sister.
“Customer?”
Lu Quanzhen saw that the other was lost in thought, unchanged in expression, and called out.
“Hehe, sorry, I just got distracted by some thoughts. What types of drinks do you have here?”
Qu Changge asked softly with an amiable and learned demeanor.
…
Long after.
“Lu Quanzhen…”
Qu Changge walked out of the Spiritual Wine Shop with a smile on his face.
They had a simple chat, and the more he observed his nephew, the more pleasant he felt.
However, considering his current situation, he did not reveal his identity.
He planned to make further contact, get familiar, and see what his nephew’s plans for the future were.
At that time, as his uncle, he would help if he could.
This was also one of his purposes for coming back.
To see how his sister was doing and how his nephews and nieces were.
“Zhao…”
Lu Quanzhen watched Qu Changge’s departing figure, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.
“Bihu Mountain.”
Qu Changge turned to look at the shop sign again, planning to find out more about Bihu Mountain.
Because they had just chatted, he knew that his nephew was not only the shopkeeper but also the junior owner.
This made him curious about Bihu Mountain.
After all, except for knowing that his brother-in-law was called Lu Changsheng, he knew nothing else.
Moments later, Qu Changge found a shop that dealt in information trading.
Upon arrival, someone immediately came to inquire, “Daoist friend, may you be seeking some information?”
“Do you have any information about Bihu Mountain here?”
Qu Changge, in a black wide robe, like a graciously gentle scholar, softly inquired.
“Bihu Mountain? Yes, of course!”
The female cultivator shopkeeper, a forty-something-year-old woman, replied enthusiastically upon hearing this: “Many people, just like Daoist friend, come to our shop to purchase information about Bihu Mountain.”
“If Daoist friend is thinking of visiting Bihu Mountain as a Visiting Noble Servant or an apprentice, our shop has channels for that and can even introduce you.”
The female cultivator said so.
“Oh? Is Bihu Mountain that famous?”
Qu Changge said, slightly surprised.
“Daoist friend jests, who in Red Leaf Valley Market doesn’t know the big name of Bihu Mountain.”
The female cultivator laughed and said, “What kind of information does Daoist friend need?”
“All information about Bihu Mountain.”
Qu Changge spoke.
“We have it, we have it, Daoist friend, please wait a moment.”
The female cultivator replied, beaming.
Soon after, she served Qu Changge some tea and went to fetch information about Bihu Mountain.
After a while, she came back with a tray carrying five Jade Slips, and said, “Daoist friend, here is the information about Bihu Mountain, a generous price of one hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Um.”
Qu Changge nodded, took out a Middle Grade Spirit Stone, then took the Jade Slips and checked them one by one.
“Bihu Mountain, once the territory of the Yu Family, now the Lu Family’s domain.”
“Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng, once a son-in-law in the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain, attacked the Patriarch of the Yu Family who interfered with his wife Lu Miaoge’s Foundation Establishment, immediately killed three great Foundation Establishers of the Yu Family, and took Bihu Mountain from the hands of the Yu Family, establishing the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family…”
“Mountain Lord Lu Changsheng has seven wives and forty-three concubines…”
Qu Changge had just read the information about the wives and concubines when his face suddenly turned cold, and the teacup in his right hand shattered into powder with a ‘bang.’
He initially had a fairly good impression of his brother-in-law.
One reason was that the other had refurbished their family home and erected monuments for his parents.
Another was that he had met this brother-in-law once, twenty years ago.
At that time, the other was with his sister, and the two were lovingly close.
But now, seeing the information in the Jade Slip, his so-called brother-in-law actually had seven wives, over forty concubines, several maids, and two Dao companions.
The matter of the children was even more outrageous, with the Jade Slip only stating that the latest count was one hundred and eighty, with more details unknown.
This reminded him of the time he entered Qingzhu Mountain and saw his sister with ten children by her side.
Due to the blood resonance, he thought only three were his sister’s, with the others likely being children from other families.
It now appeared that all ten children were sired by his cheap brother-in-law.
“Damn!”
A cold glint appeared in Qu Changge’s eyes.
Even if the other had three wives and four concubines, he could accept and understand.
But from all the information in the Jade Slip, he was unable to accept and even suspected his brother-in-law to be a person of the Demon Path, practicing some form of Dual Cultivation Absorption Technique.
Other than this scenario, he simply could not comprehend why a normal cultivator would marry so many spouses.
And the number of children made him think of various demonic methods.
In the Demonic Sect, there were many methods of using one’s own bloodline children to enhance cultivation!
What do you think?
