Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 215: Chapter 214: Divorce! (Thanks to the alliance leader, Bookfriend Xingqing Buyu, for the reward)_1

Lu Yang began to contemplate whether or not to tell Eldest Senior Sister about the lies and fabrications of their master.

If he told Eldest Senior Sister, their master would certainly be disciplined, but if he didn’t, Eldest Senior Sister might view him as complicit in their master’s wrongdoing.

“On one side is my master, and on the other side is Eldest Senior Sister. It’s a tough decision,” Lu Yang sighed deeply, feeling like he was stuck in a sticky situation, damned if he did and damned if he didn’t.

He pulled out a copper coin, deciding to let fate make the choice.

With a flick of his finger, the copper coin spun briskly in the air, emitting a ringing sound. The three men kept their eyes on the coin as it went up and came down.

Clang.

The coin landed face up.

“It seems that heaven wants to doom my master.”

“Senior Brother Lu, let’s try again,” Li Haoran suggested. He had heard Elder Zhou Xin complain about how unreliable Daoist Buyu was while they were soaking in lava.

But all in all, a Sect Leader was still a Sect Leader.

Lu Yang nodded. He actually didn’t want to snitch, so he flicked the copper coin in the air again.

The coin landed face down.

Li Haoran sighed, it seemed that the Sect Leader was spared, for now.

Lu Yang gave a resigned sigh to the side, “It seems that heaven wants to doom my master.”

“Wait, Senior Brother Lu, how come both heads and tails mean telling Eldest Senior Sister? How exactly do we not tell her about this?”

“Well, that would be if the coin landed on its edge.”

Seeing Li Haoran’s confused face, Meng Jingzhou explained, “Think about it, there are two possibilities when a coin lands, right? It can land flat or on its edge.”

“Right.”

“So, Lu Yang has a fifty percent chance of not telling Elatest Senior Sister about this matter. The odds are already quite high.”

Lu Yang seemed to resonate deeply with Meng Jingzhou’s logic.

Li Haoran’s eyes twitched, “Senior Brother Lu, if you want to get my master in trouble, just say it. No need to go through such a process.”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou found themselves missing Man Gu. If it had been Man Gu earlier, she would have believed them without a hitch.

Amidst their conversation, they arrived at Li Haoran’s old house.

The old horse stopped, and Li Haoran got off first, “My senior brothers, this is my home. Although it’s a bit run-down, it holds my childhood memories. I remember climbing trees in front of the door when I was a kid.”

“…Junior Brother Li, I think ‘a bit run-down’ is an understatement for your house.”

Li Haoran turned his head and saw his family’s ancient house being demolished.

“Where’s my house?!”

He had only been away for just over a year. How could his house be gone?

“Hey, aren’t you the boy from the Li family? I heard you’ve made it big, joined the Seek Dao Sect?” an old man recognized Li Haoran.

“Uncle Zhang, where is my house?” Li Haoran asked as soon as he saw a familiar face.

“Hmm? Didn’t your parents tell you? To celebrate you becoming a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect, they sold the old house and moved. They moved to Chunyuan Street.”

“…So, they really did this to celebrate me joining the Seek Dao Sect?” Li Haoran covered his face, feeling a bit helpless.

Following Uncle Zhang’s directions, the three finally found Li Haoran’s real home.

Before they entered, Lu Yang quietly asked Meng Jingzhou, “Did you prepare any gifts for Uncle and Auntie?”

“I’ve had them ready for a while. I have a lot of nice things in my Identity Jade. What about you?”

“Before I came, I went to the Task Hall and exchanged some elixirs and treasured materials.”

After their exchange, they got out of the carriage with ease.

Before Li Haoran could knock on the door, he heard the voice of an unfamiliar woman from inside.

“I absolutely will not agree to this marriage proposal!”

“A betrothal made when you were children? Was that agreed by me?”

“Don’t even think about me accepting this marriage proposal!”

Then came the voice of Li Haoran’s father, “We had already agreed upon this marriage…”

Listening to the sounds of quarreling, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou exchanged glances, sensing that things were not going smoothly.

Li Haoran frowned, pushed open the door, and deliberately announced loudly, “Mom, Dad, I’m home!”

When the door was pushed open, a couple stood in the courtyard, looking bewildered, as if the situation had caught them off guard. They were Li Haoran’s parents.

Arguing with Li Haoran was a beautiful young girl who seemed to be around Li Haoran’s age.

Behind the girl stood a stunning woman cultivator who somewhat resembled the girl. It was unclear if she was the girl’s sister or mother.

“Haoran is back?” Li Haoran’s parents were overjoyed to see Haoran’s return home.

“Mom and Dad, let me introduce you. These are my two senior brothers at the Seek Dao Sect, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou.”

“Greetings, Uncle and Auntie.” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou greeted them with warm smiles and took out the gifts they had prepared.

“There’s no need for gifts.”

“They’re just some random things we picked up on the way, nothing expensive.”

After some back and forth, Li Haoran’s parents finally accepted the gifts.

“So, you’re Li Haoran?” The girl scrutinized Li Haoran with a frown. Admittedly, Li Haoran was quite handsome, but she seemed to find him displeasing no matter how she looked.

“And who are you?” Li Haoran snapped back at the girl.

Fearing the conflict might escalate, Li Haoran’s parents quickly introduced, “This is Qin Yanyan, and this is her mother Su Yiren. Su Yiren was the one who saved us.”

In the spiritual space, Fairy Eternity let out a soft gasp, “This Su Yiren is not ordinary, she’s in the unification phase.”

There were quite a few extraordinary individuals in the Central Continent. Many cultivators who reached the unification stage were unknown to Lu Yang.

Even Meng Jingzhou, who was born into the influential Meng Family, couldn’t recognize all those who reached the unification stage.

“Unification phase?” Lu Yang was surprised. Was Junior Brother Li really that valuable? A unification phase cultivator not only saved Li Haoran’s parents but also arranged a marriage?

Lu Yang couldn’t see anything special about Li Haoran other than his Fire Spirit Root.

Li Haoran wasn’t a genius who suddenly turned into a waste, nor did he act strangely or say strange things.

Fairy Eternity teased, “You’re pretty valuable too, you know. That Yun Zhi girl personally arranged a marriage for you and Lan Ting. If you were successful, you would have a group of unification stage cultivators behind you.”

Lu Yang rolled his eyes and ignored Fairy Eternity’s jab.

Qin Yanyan assessed Li Haoran, “I heard you’re from the Seek Dao Sect and ranked fifth in strength in your class. How embarrassing, to rank fifth despite having a Fire Spirit Root.”

Li Haoran considered the top four ranks: One had a Sword Spirit Root and was personally trained by Eldest Senior Sister. Another was a Single Body Spiritual Root born from the largest influential family, the Meng family. The third was a Feather Transformation Immortal Body even rarer than a Single Spiritual Root, and the fourth was the last of the ancient barbarian tribe, an inheritor of the tribe’s luck. Ranking fifth didn’t seem to be so humiliating.

Man Gu was the last descendant of the ancient barbarian tribe, and per an old saying, the final person of a race could converge all the luck of that race.

Wouldn’t it be strange if he could surpass the top four?

“Let me give you some advice: cancel the engagement so we can part ways peacefully, and meet happily in the martial world in the future. If you refuse…” At this point, Qin Yanyan revealed a cold smile, the implication clear.

“What if I refuse?”

Qin Yanyan continued to smile coldly. She hadn’t determined how she would threaten Li Haoran if he refused.
