What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 32 The Celestial Official and the Little Widow

Su Mo instantly snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and focused his gaze on the brocade box.

"Cultivation techniques?"

The allure of cultivating immortality is equally immense for anyone.

Especially since Su Mo had just witnessed how terrifying Lin Moyin, that immortal cultivator, was!
With just a finger, they could control his life and death, easily crushing him.

Su Mo absolutely could not accept this.

In the past, society was stable and protected by law, so people naturally didn't worry too much about this issue.

This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak!
Su Mo originally thought that he would have to max out Lin Moyin's favorability before he could obtain the cultivation method from this quest NPC.

Unexpectedly.

Chen Bao, this salt smuggler, actually possesses a cultivation method!
They are more proactive in delivering things to your door.

Su Mo squinted at the brocade box in her hand, then her gaze fell on Chen Bao.

He asked slowly, "The cultivation method is extremely precious."

Why would Uncle Chen give me the Dharma?

Chen Bao felt that Su Mo's gaze was sharp as a knife as he was being stared at by Su Mo with half-closed eyes!

At this moment, Su Mo no longer possessed even a trace of the demeanor of a gentleman or a simpleton.

A chill ran down my spine!
If others really think he's a fool, they'll definitely suffer a great loss!

He then said in a deep voice, "This method is called the Yangtian Technique, and only men under the age of twenty can practice it."

He sighed: "I am over forty years old, and my daughter is a girl. Keeping her in my care only makes me worry, fearing that outsiders will find out and bring trouble upon me!"

As he spoke, Chen Bao looked Su Mo in the eye with the most honest gaze possible: "I might as well speak frankly."

"I naturally believe that Su Ya is exceptionally intelligent and has a limitless future."

"I have decided to send this method to the Su family in the hope of establishing a good relationship, so that if anything happens in the future, the Su family can help me out."

Su Mo remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded and slowly said, "Uncle Chen, please rest assured!"

"I do not consider myself a cold-hearted person."

"Regardless of whether I can cultivate this method, as long as I have the strength, no matter what happens in the future, I will never let Uncle Chen feel disheartened!"

Chen Bao smiled and said, "Uncle Chen believes he won't misjudge you!"

His expression turned serious: "However! Uncle Chen still has to remind you of something!"

“The cultivation of immortality is no small matter; if one is not careful, the consequences could be dire.”

"After obtaining the Yangtian Technique, Su Ya must cultivate it carefully. It would be best to find a Taoist sorcerer to guide him."

"With the connections in Su's government, it shouldn't be difficult."

After saying that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "That's all I have to say. I won't disturb you any longer!"

Su Mo replied in a deep voice, "I understand!"

He paused, then added, "If Uncle Chen doesn't mind, you can call me Su Mo, or nephew, that's fine too."

"This 'Su Ya' (a local official title) sounds rather strange!"

Chen Bao laughed heartily: "Alright then!"

"I, your uncle, will take the liberty of addressing you as my worthy nephew!"

"Farewell!"

Just for that one address, Yang Tianjue's gift was well worth it!
Then, Chen Bao called over the female knight-errant Chen, who was still blushing and secretly watching Su Mo from the side.

The father and daughter left the Su residence.

"Qianyu, what do you think of Su Mo?"

After leaving the Su residence and getting into the carriage, Chen Baocai turned to look at his daughter and asked her a question.

Chen Qianyu blushed slightly and said softly, "It's...good."

Chen Bao nodded: "Your father wouldn't misjudge you!"

"This child is destined for greatness; he will surely transform into a dragon one day!"

His expression was serious and earnest: "His abilities far exceed what I, his father, estimated."

"A young man of outstanding talent will surely attract countless women to follow in his footsteps."

"You must seize the opportunity and not let others get there first!"

Clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as they are.

Becoming Su Mo's first woman was of extraordinary significance, and Chen Bao understood this perfectly!
We should take advantage of having fewer competitors and being in a favorable position.

There are many beautiful people in the world, and Chen Qianyu is not the only one!
When Su Mo rises to prominence.

He frequented the mansions of officials and nobles, associated with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and knew well-educated and courteous daughters of officials and ladies from prominent families.

Whether she would still be interested in the daughter of a salt smuggler is hard to say!
Hearing his father's words...

Chen's pretty face turned bright red, and she almost buried her head in her heart. She dared not look her father in the eye even for a moment!

But the image of Su Mo bowing and apologizing involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Ah!
Men look so handsome when they apologize!
……

After Chen Bao and his daughter left.

Su Mo took a deep breath and opened the brocade box with suppressed excitement.

Inside was an extremely ancient jade scroll!

He picked up the jade book and unfolded it to take a look.

The inscription on it is in traditional Chinese characters, starting with the three characters "Yang Tian Jue".

The following introduction was incredibly impressive.

Absorbing the essence of the sun and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nourishing one's own true soul, a golden elixir naturally forms within the body, impervious to all laws and evaded by gods and demons. Su Mo was even more excited!

If you succeed in cultivating this immortal technique.

Wouldn't that make me a mere clerk in the immortal realm?
I can't become a celestial official for now.

Being a celestial official first wouldn't be bad!

Unfortunately, Su Mo recognized every single word in the subsequent content when separated.

When they're put together, it's completely baffling.

It's as if nine out of ten orifices are open, but one remains closed.

Su Mo immediately felt depressed.

He originally thought that by obtaining the cultivation method, he could learn supernatural powers, be on par with the female commander, and even subdue her.

After reading the true teachings, I realized how naive I had been!

Chen Bao is right.

It requires guidance from a Taoist sorcerer.

Su Mo reluctantly put the jade book away and placed it in the brocade box.

Back in the bedroom, feeling the effects of the alcohol, I was too lazy to wash myself and decided to lie down and go to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Qin Bier carried a wooden basin and pushed open the door to come in.

Upon seeing Su Mo inside, Qin Bier clearly showed a look of panic.

Su Mo stared wide-eyed at Qin Bier: "Qin... Bier, you didn't leave?"

He pointed to the wooden basin and asked, "What's this for?"

Su Mo thought that she had already left through the side gate of the central courtyard.

I can't believe it's still around!
Qin Bi'er blushed and explained in a low voice, "Uncle Chen... instructed me earlier, fearing that my lord would be drunk and no one would take care of him, so he asked me... asked me..."

Looking at Qin Bier's blushing cheeks, her flawless white skin, and her beautifully curved neck and shoulders.

Su Mo subconsciously swallowed.

Already young and vigorous, and with the effects of alcohol gradually taking hold, Qin Shi also focused entirely on his aesthetic sense.

How could he possibly restrain himself!

Su Mo stared intently at the young widow, his breathing becoming rapid.

But at least a sliver of reason remained.

"Where...where is the dot?"

Qin Bier felt her heart pounding wildly under Su Mo's intense gaze. She was so flustered that she dared not meet Su Mo's eyes and said in a voice as low as a mosquito's buzz, "Um... Diandian is already sleeping in the side room."

"This servant will... will serve you, my lord, to wash your feet."

After saying that, she bit her lip, mustered her courage, stepped forward, bent down to remove Su Mo's boots, and gently lifted her feet and placed them in the basin.

The water temperature was just right.

He watched as Qin Bier squatted down to wash his feet.

At the collar, the enchanting scenery was faintly visible.

A thought suddenly occurred to Su Mo.

It’s great to travel through time…

Just do it and it’s done!
Like rain after a long drought, the rain falls more and more each day.

He tormented the poor little widow for almost half an hour before finally falling into a deep sleep, embracing her soft, supple body.

When Su Mo woke up, it was already fully light.

I found the blankets were neatly tucked in, and clean clothes were folded neatly at the head of the bed.

I instinctively reached out and touched the side, but found nothing.

Qin Bier left sometime ago.

Su Mo assumed that Qin Bier had gone to the side room to take care of Dian Dian.

When they reached the side room, Dian Dian had disappeared.

Su Mo chuckled to herself.

Qin Bier probably didn't know how to face herself, so she sneaked away.

Let her go this time.

There will be plenty of opportunities to teach her a lesson later!

I washed my face and took a cold shower.

Back in the bedroom, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have obtained a cultivation technique yesterday.

But I forgot where I put it.

They quickly searched around and found the brocade box and money bag safely stored in the cabinet.

It was obviously Qin Bier who packed it up and put it in.

Open the brocade box and money bag.

The jade book and the vajra pestle are both there.

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

I just put the two items together, preparing to store them in the brocade box.

A sudden change occurred!

The moment the vajra touched the jade book, it suddenly burst forth with golden light, and golden runes emerged from the vajra's body, which was scorching hot to the touch!
