Chapter 205 Secret
Chapter 205 Secret
"Yuan Tao?"
Elder Pan looked puzzled. He had never heard of this name or any case related to it.
Young Master Pan said, "This person is just a small character who has been stuck on Chongxue Peak for many years, but he hasn't even qualified for the formal disciple assessment. Every year, he struggles to pass the ordinary scholar assessment."
Later, as he grew older and the family had no one to succeed him, he worried about being expelled from the Celestial Palace, so he thought about having a child with good aptitude.
Elder Pan burst into laughter, "Aptitude is innate. Even for our prestigious families, it is still beyond our control to produce a child with good aptitude. How could this unknown small character come up with such an ignorant idea?"
Young Master Pan nodded, "Yes, aptitude is innate. To have a child with extraordinary talent, besides being born with it, there are only three ways: first, to look at the appearance of the parents; second, to seek assistance from natural treasures; and third, to have some other fortuitous encounter."
Elder Pan's laughter abruptly stopped, and a serious expression appeared on his face. "Go on."
Young Master Pan continued, "This Yuan Tao set his sights on a female cultivator with decent aptitude but not very good luck. This female cultivator was poisoned during a training session, and her cultivation was eroded by the toxicity, gradually weakening. She was on the verge of being expelled as a scholar, desperate and with no way out. Unknowingly, she fell into Yuan Tao's scheme and unknowingly borrowed a huge sum of money that she couldn't repay."
If there are no variables, this female cultivator will become a breeding machine for Yuan Tao and others in similar situations, giving birth to children who may have some aptitude. Who knows when it will end."
Elder Pan's face turned indifferent. "He can be considered a ruthless person. With the abilities of these small characters, it's already quite impressive to achieve this."
Not cursing their shamelessness is because prestigious families are also doing such shameless things, and they do it even more ruthlessly.
The list is endless; it has never been a term to be taken lightly.
Young Master Pan also knew his own methods and didn't need to pretend in front of his own people. He continued, "Speaking of which, the actions of Yuan Tao and others can also be understood. Once expelled from the Celestial Palace and fallen into the mortal world, they will ultimately have a bad ending. It's just a pity that they have chosen the wrong target."
Elder Pan's heart stirred: "Chu Shen?"
Young Master Pan clapped his hands, revealing a lewd smile: "That's right, Grandfather. As you know, Chu Shen is a lecherous guy. With such a delicate beauty in front of him, as long as he helps a little, he can easily gain something. How could he let it go?"
Sure enough, he later became one of the concubines of the Chu family!"
"Get to the point. If it's just a jealousy over a woman, you wouldn't have told me so seriously, would you?"
"Grandfather understands me," Young Master Pan grinned. "And then the most important thing happened. This Yuan Tao is cunning too. He actually recruited a group of people to compete with Chu Shen. However, in the process, his accomplices kept an eye on Chu Shen and that woman, while Yuan Tao himself targeted Chu Shen's family."
Elder Pan stroked his beard, becoming interested. "Oh? Is he planning to coerce Chu Shen's family to make him back down?"
Young Master Pan shook his head. "No, he set his sights on the concubines of the Chu family. He even sent his son, who is good at seducing women, to engage in that scandalous affair."
Elder Pan, now resembling someone listening to gossip, asked, "Did it work?"
"Of course not," Young Master Pan said with a regretful expression. "If it had, it would have been even more interesting. Unfortunately, those useless people were caught on the spot and within a few days, they were all sent to the Execution Immortal Platform."
"Wait, you're saying they were all sent to the Execution Immortal Platform?" Elder Pan noticed something that caught his attention. "That doesn't seem right, does it? Even if they committed heinous crimes, just the process of interrogation alone would take a long time. How could it be so fast?"
"That's the interesting part, Grandfather. Do you know what I found out?"
"Smack!"
"You little brat, what are you teasing your grandfather with?"
Elder Pan was like someone who was interrupted halfway through a story and angrily made a stir-fried chestnut for his grandson.
Young Master Pan quickly said, "In that case, there was actually someone involved in this case."
"Who?"
"The Holy Lord!"
Elder Pan jumped up, "Who did you say?"
Young Master Pan said seriously, "The Holy Lord! It was the Holy Lord who personally caught Yuan Tao and his accomplices in that case, and afterwards dealt with them swiftly and severely. It was all thanks to the Holy Lord's efforts!"
Elder Pan was stunned for a while, "How could it be... Wait a minute, it makes sense now! No wonder, no wonder this kid Chu Shen became a disciple of the Holy Lord! Even though he has made a name for himself as a prodigy in alchemy, he shouldn't have received such an honor. It turns out they had a connection back then!"
... Seeking flowers...
If Chu Shen knew this news, he would definitely be stunned for a while, because he never expected that the Uncle Wang Chen who helped him back then was actually not just a gatekeeper, but the Holy Lord of Langnuan Heaven.
However, for Elder Pan, his focus was on...
"Why did the Holy Lord take a liking to this kid?"
Young Master Pan gave his grandfather a bombshell-like reply, "Probably because the Chu family is almost entirely composed of cultivators, and they are cultivators with pretty good aptitude."
Elder Pan was truly shocked and exclaimed, "Good grandson, do you know what you're saying?"
Young Master Pan said earnestly, "Grandfather, what I found out is indeed true."
Chu family concubines are mostly ordinary mortal women. I even made a trip to Nanping City to confirm this fact.
However, even with this group of women, as well as a few women from a cultivation background, almost every child they give birth to possesses exceptional aptitude and spiritual roots, making them qualified for cultivation.
Although the Holy Lord made many arrangements afterwards, causing most people to be unaware of this astonishing fact, where in this world are there walls that are completely airtight?
That's why the Xiao family targeted the Chu family, and that's how I obtained this secret.
Elder Pan's excitement was now surging, and he couldn't contain himself as he muttered to himself, "No wonder, no wonder the Xiao family took such risks. If it's true that every concubine of the Chu family has given birth to children with aptitude, I would also make the decision to dig out this secret..."
Although Young Master Pan's aptitude and cultivation level are not impressive, and his abilities are just average, Elder Pan absolutely trusts his grandson's ability to gather intelligence.
He did not doubt the possibility of Young Master Pan talking nonsense.
At the same time, he understood the Xiao family.
"Who else knows about this secret?" Elder Pan suddenly grabbed Young Master Pan's collar, somewhat losing his composure as he asked.
"Grandfather, rest assured, I have taken precautions. As long as we don't expose it ourselves, besides the Holy Lord, I'm afraid only the Xiao family knows about this."
Elder Pan's expression turned ferocious. "Xiao family, Xiao family, no wonder they were so willing to make sacrifices... With a secret like this, if they were given the opportunity to obtain it, hehe, the losses we've suffered so far are nothing!"
Unfortunately, now we also know...
However... spoon.
