Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!

Chapter 680 - 207: [Tribulation] (6500)_4

"To let the senior know, Wang Chuyi has already cultivated to the Inner Room Realm—I’ve observed that this child has an uncommon talent. Even in our Cloud Sect, it’s unheard of to reach the Inner Room Realm within just a few months, so..."

Chu Keqing’s tone carried a hint of negotiation: "I want to take him as my direct disciple, what does the senior think?"

Chen Yan finally perked up a bit with curiosity, looking at Chu Keqing: "Direct disciple?"

Chu Keqing smiled wryly: "Senior, with your vast divine techniques and broad vision, you’re naturally discerning. But in this mundane world, it’s exceedingly rare to find a promising talent who can enter the sect and cultivate to the Inner Room Realm in just a few months! Such a remarkable talent, having encountered him, naturally, I don’t want to miss it."

Chen Yan pondered seriously and slowly said: "I have no objection really, but it depends on whether Wang Chuyi himself is willing."

That kid didn’t initially plan to cultivate at all; he was brought into the path of a cultivator by myself simply so he could stay in longstanding love with his two demoness wives.

Young men in love... ah, spit spit, young men, infatuation phase, probably lack ambition and might not be willing to stay in the Cloud Sect as a direct disciple.

He probably wanted to fly back home as soon as possible to continue his loving entanglement with the two demoness wives.

Chu Keqing, however, smiled and said: "I spoke to him—this kid’s mindset has changed somewhat; after all, he’s already embarked on the path of cultivation, his perspective and mental realm are different..."

What the heck? Could it be this kid wants to become a scumbag, abandon his two demoness wives, and pursue the path of cultivation?

Chen Yan was taken aback.

"After cultivation, he found the Heavenly Dao increasingly admirable and gradually developed a desire to seek the Dao.

He also mentioned he still wants to marry in his hometown... but since our Cloud Sect is a worldly sect, we don’t prohibit marriage. Him marrying back home and becoming a direct disciple of our Cloud Sect doesn’t conflict... so when I asked him, he gave vague replies and was not explicit, thus I invited the senior for a discussion."

Chu Keqing said with a slight frown: "In my view, he does have a heart for the Dao, yet insists on returning home to marry and live. I told him he could bring his hometown wife to Jinling Prefecture.

As long as he enters our Cloud Sect and becomes my direct disciple, he would have a position and income at our Cloud Sect Academy. By then, bringing the wife to Jinling Prefecture and supporting her at the Cloud Sect Academy is no issue with his income, but still, he remains unwilling to assent..."

Seeing Chu Keqing’s puzzled and seeking eyes, Chen Yan mused for a moment before deciding to lay things clearly to her.

After all, Chu Keqing is no ordinary person.

"I’m afraid, his hometown wife is not easy to bring to Jinling Prefecture, especially not to your academy."

"Why’s that? What’s the issue with his wife?"

"Hmm, to be precise, it should be ’wives’ of his."

Chu Keqing fell silent.

Previously, Wang Chuyi seemed to have casually mentioned this, but everyone thought it was just the jest of a young man.

Turns out, it was true?!

After a few seconds of silence, this alluring mature woman’s face turned peculiarly awkward, with hints of irritation and inability in her gaze.

"What a Wang Chuyi! I saw him with thick eyebrows and a straightforward, honest look! Yet he turns out to be a heartless scoundrel too?! Wife, wives? Wives? How many girlfriends does my honest disciple have in his hometown?"

Chu Keqing asked Chen Yan crossly.

Chen Yan slowly extended two fingers: "Two."

Chu Keqing pondered, then finally sighed: "Alright, two... fine, I suppose."

After all, good talent and jade are hard to find, cultivation in this world is challenging, and although Chu Keqing has decent talent, building the large Cloud Sect to its current scale.

But, within the Cloud Sect, there’s actually not much talent to boast of.

A Wang Chuyi who can cultivate to the Inner Room Realm within a few months, with another ten or eight years of cultivation, it holds great hope of reaching Guiyuan Realm like herself in no time!

At that time, he may well inherit her legacy.

As a woman, Chu Keqing naturally doesn’t have much favor for a man who maintains two wives simultaneously—you’d better have vast divine techniques, boundless mana, excel and be top-tier, then it’s okay.

You, Wang Chuyi, what do you have?

This mindset of Chu Keqing can’t be said wrong.

Such has always been the mindset of people in the Dragon Country.

If you’re the emperor, with three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, everyone considers it justifiable.

If you’re a fallen beggar, without beauty, wealth, or talent, yet still thinking of multiple wives, you’d be scorned.

Chu Keqing, after thinking it over, slowly said: "Good talents are hard to come by, even if he’s a bit frivolous in the affairs of love, so be it... after all, his talent is evident, and after observing him for months, his straightforward nature is clear; on major matters, he’s discerning.

As for love affairs, consider it a minor matter.

Senior, how about you tell him I can accept him, he can maintain two wives within the Cloud Sect gates, is that acceptable?"

However, Chen Yan shook his head: "It’s still inappropriate."

"Ah?"

Chen Yan looked at Chu Keqing: "His wives back home... are not human."

Chu Keqing: "......"
