409: Chapter 391 Want you to marry a few more wives_1 409: Chapter 391 Want you to marry a few more wives_1 Situ Qinghuan was completely stunned and then looked around anxiously at the disciples who were calling her Mrs.

Sect Leader, saying, “What nonsense are you talking about?

I am not any Sect Leader’s wife!”

She turned to Elder Wind, her eyebrows tightly furrowed as she said, “Have you gone mad stating that I am the Sect Leader’s wife?

Hurry up and tell them that you’re spouting nonsense!”

Elder Wind bowed with his hands folded and said, “My lady, I know you’re angry because we exposed your identity, and we are willing to accept punishment!”

Elders Frost, Rain, and Snow also hurriedly said, “We are willing to accept punishment!”

Situ Qinghuan stamped her foot in frustration, then turned her head to Lu Chuan and said, “Hurry up and clarify to everyone that there’s absolutely no relationship between you and me!”

Lu Chuan hadn’t expected Elder Wind to pull such a move; he was a little stunned, but a smile couldn’t help but emerge on his face.

After hearing Situ Qinghuan’s words, he put on a perfunctory smile and said, “Ah, we are all going to be one big family sooner or later, why bother about these formalities?

Let’s hurry to the sect and see how your master is doing.”

Having said that, he began to push Situ Qinghuan in the direction of the sect, then quietly gave Elder Wind a thumbs up.

Elder Wind immediately breathed a sigh of relief; he knew that although this action might offend Situ Qinghuan, it would undoubtedly please Lu Chuan.

As long as Lu Chuan was on his side, the risky move he had made was the right one.

“Don’t push me!

I am not any Sect Leader’s wife, you must explain everything to everyone clearly!” Situ Qinghuan said in utmost exasperation.

Lu Chuan said, “Aren’t you worried about your master’s safety right now?

Let’s go to the sect first.

As for the other matters, there’s no hurry to talk about them later.”

And so, Situ Qinghuan was taken to the sect.

The four Great Elders all hurried to follow.

Inside the Profound Sect, Elder Wind led Lu Chuan and Situ Qinghuan to the front of a grand hall.

“The master of the lady is inside this grand hall,” Elder Wind spoke.

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Alright, I will enter with the lady.

The rest of you may stand down for now.”

“Yes,” Elder Wind responded.

Situ Qinghuan rolled her eyes at Lu Chuan, clearly too tired to retort anymore.

After all, she wasn’t any Sect Leader’s wife; no matter what they said, it wouldn’t change that fact.

She was concerned about her master’s condition and hurriedly made her way into the grand hall.

Lu Chuan followed suit, curious to see what kind of person Situ Qinghuan’s master was.

Inside the grand hall, an old man was leisurely lying on the floor with his legs crossed, humming a tune.

Upon hearing someone enter, he quickly got up, and the ropes scattered on the floor flew up on their own, binding him to a pillar and even self-tying a knot.

“Ay yo…” the old man let out a pained howl.

Rushing over, Situ Qinghuan saw her master weakly wailing while tied to the pillar, with many wounds on his face, she immediately felt a surge of heartache and ran to untie him.

“Master, have they not mistreated you?

That impostor has been dealt with, you’re safe now!” she said.

The old man spoke weakly, “The wretched thing has been dealt with?

That’s really great; he nearly tortured me to death these past few days.”

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan, upon seeing the old man and the wine gourd strapped to his waist, showed a face full of surprise.

Wasn’t this the same expert who appeared at the Shen family?

This person was actually Situ Qinghuan’s master!

He immediately said, “Senior…”

The old man quickly winked at Lu Chuan, signaling him not to speak.

Lu Chuan didn’t understand what the old man meant but remained silent regardless.

The old man pretended not to recognize Lu Chuan and asked Situ Qinghuan, “Who is this young man?”

Situ Qinghuan turned her head to glance at Lu Chuan and said, “Master, it was he who dealt with that impostor, allowing me to come and rescue you.”

The old man’s face showed surprise as he exclaimed, “Is that so!

Wonderful, truly wonderful, this young man has a noble appearance, a talented individual, and such strong abilities.

A true dragon among men, Qinghuan, you must repay him well!”

Thinking of the promise she had made to Lu Chuan, Situ Qinghuan’s face blushed and she said uneasily, “Disciple understands.”

Lu Chuan, hearing the old man’s praise, had a bit of a desire to laugh, not understanding what the old man was really up to.

“Master, you’ve suffered these past days.

Rest for a while on the couch in this grand hall, I’ll go to get you some medicine for healing and recovery,” Situ Qinghuan said.

The old man nodded, “Yes, yes, yes.

I haven’t had a proper rest for several days, it’s time to rest well.

And oh, do bring me some good wine.”

“Yes,” Situ Qinghuan helped the old man to the couch and then turned to leave the grand hall.

As she passed by Lu Chuan, she glared at him and said, “Follow me.”

Lu Chuan quickly followed Situ Qinghuan out of the grand hall.

Once outside, when she was sure her master could not hear her, Situ Qinghuan said, “I am not one to break a promise.

Since you have now saved my master, I will fulfill my promise, and tonight… I will share a room with you.”

Lu Chuan’s face showed an excited smile as he said, “That’s truly great.

For your immense kindness, I will remember it for a lifetime.”

Situ Qinghuan snorted coldly, “It’s simply a transaction between you and me.

I have one condition: you must not tell anyone about this.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Don’t worry, this will be our little secret.”

Situ Qinghuan gave him a blank look and said no more.

Then Lu Chuan asked, “Are you really planning to give me the position of Sect Master?”

Situ Qinghuan replied, “After we do that thing, I plan to retire from the jianghu and do what I want to do.

Giving you the position of Sect Master is no big deal.”

Lu Chuan continued, “Look, since we’re both going to do that thing, why don’t you just settle for it?

I’ll be the Sect Master, and you’ll be Mrs.

Sect Master.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Situ Qinghuan glared at him and snapped, “Get lost!”

That afternoon, Lu Chuan was forcibly taken by the Great Elders to learn about the sect’s situation and was informed of the Sect Master’s rights and obligations.

Elder Wind also brought a lot of sect affairs for Lu Chuan to decide on.

Although picking up the position of Sect Master was a good thing, Lu Chuan had never liked managing affairs, so he directly issued an order that from then on, all affairs within the sect would be decided by the Great Elders after discussion, and he would become a hands-off manager.

The Great Elders were obviously dissatisfied with Lu Chuan’s approach, but they had to comply with the orders given by the Sect Master, so they said nothing more.

In a certain garden within the Profound Sect.

Lu Chuan was seated cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to recover from the previous battle’s exhaustion.

That was when the old man came over.

Lu Chuan, sensing his approach, stopped his recovery, stood up, and gave the old man a respectful bow, saying, “Elder.”

The old man said with a smile, “In such a short time I haven’t seen you, your strength has improved quite a bit.

It seems you truly are a rare talent.”

Lu Chuan replied, “Elder, you flatter me.

My strength is nothing compared to yours.”

He was not being flattering; rather, he genuinely thought so.

Even though he had reached the Golden Core Perfection Phase, he still felt a strong sense of danger when facing the old man – a feeling that only arises when there is an insurmountable gap in strength.

Because of this, he was puzzled as to why such a powerful person would get caught by the fake Sect Master of the Lu family.

So, he asked, “Elder, with your strength, you could probably wipe out the entire Profound Sect with just a wave of your hand.

Why then were you caught by that impostor?”

The old man laughed heartily and said, “You’re the clever one, aren’t you?

Not like my silly disciple, who is so easily deceived.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s eyes narrowed.

He knew there must be a trick to it and curiously said, “Please enlighten me, elder.”

The old man looked at Lu Chuan and asked with a smile, “First, let me ask you, has my silly disciple agreed to share a room with you?”

Lu Chuan felt a lurch in his heart, never expecting this old geezer to know even this.

Aware that there was no use hiding things from such a high-level figure, he replied, “She has.”

The old man asked with a smile, “And was it to make you come forward to save me?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Exactly.”

The old man stroked his beard, satisfied, and said, “That’s precisely why I got captured.”

Surprised, Lu Chuan said, “Elder, did you let yourself be captured intentionally, and the purpose was to make Qinghuan agree to share a room with me?”

The old man replied, “Yes, in order to make her agree to you, I really put quite a bit of effort into it.

But fortunately, in the end, I managed to bring you two together, so my efforts weren’t wasted.”

“My disciple is a good girl; you must treat her well in the future.

Never let her suffer any grievance.”

Lu Chuan had never imagined that all this was a trap set by the old man.

Although it was a good thing for him, he couldn’t understand why the old man would do such a thing.

Full of doubts, he asked, “Elder, back at the Shen family, you were so determined to bring me and Mengyao together, and now you’ve gone to great lengths to have Qinghuan share a room with me.

What is the reason for all this?”

The old man gave Lu Chuan a look and countered, “Why, are you not happy with it?”

Lu Chuan replied, “I’m happy, but with you pushing things along so much, I always feel like there might be some conspiracy hidden behind all this.

No offense, elder.

You’ve been so dedicated to helping me; there must be a reason, right?”

The old man burst into laughter and said, “A reason?

The reason is that I hope you can marry a few more wives, and if you could bear a few more chubby babies, that would be even better.

Does that reason satisfy you?”

Lu Chuan was speechless, thinking to himself what kind of reason that was; only perhaps his grandfather would hope for that.

However, he quickly thought of a possibility and eagerly asked, “Elder, you’re not sent by my grandfather, are you?”

The old man did not answer this question directly but said, “Kid, if I had any bad intentions, with your little strength, you would’ve died countless times in front of me by now.

You just need to know that everything I’ve done is for your own good.”

Seeing the old geezer avoiding his question, Lu Chuan’s suspicions about a connection between the elder and his grandfather grew even stronger.

But the old man was right; if he really had any ill intent, Lu Chuan would have been dead by now.

And now he had given his own disciple to Lu Chuan, which meant he really had no malicious intentions.

But what his true purpose was remained a mystery.

Knowing that the other party did not want to speak, and that pressing for an answer would be futile, Lu Chuan bowed and said, “I understand, elder.”

The old man said, “Good, just remember to treat my disciple well.

If I find out you’ve bullied her, I will make you regret it!”

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, “Rest assured, I will definitely cherish her.”

Neither of them noticed that Situ Qinghuan was hiding just around the corner, eavesdropping on their entire conversation.

In her hands, she held two bottles of elixir pills, which she had initially planned to give to Lu Chuan for recovery but had unexpectedly overheard the conversation between this guy and her master.

“So all of this was a scheme laid out by my master, just to make me agree to sleep with Lu Chuan…

Master, I respect you, I am grateful to you, but why would you do this to me!”

Situ Qinghuan’s eyes immediately reddened, filled with indescribable distress.

She then threw the two bottles of elixir pills into the nearby trash can and walked away.
