After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

As it turns out, Ye Bai wasn't exaggerating this time.

In terms of strength and endurance, this thing is truly outstanding.

This guy actually carried Old Madam Qin up Mingtai Mountain, which is several hundred meters high.

Of course, we took a break a few times along the way.

It's mainly because of Qin Wanqing.

Although this young lady of the Qin family has a habit of exercising, doing yoga or running whenever she has free time, her physical strength is still limited.

Even if you use all your strength, you can't climb to the top of the mountain in one go.

Despite her young age, Shen Lu's physical strength far surpassed Qin Wanqing's, a testament to the benefits of her martial arts training from a young age.

What surprised Ye Bai the most was Feng Gu.

The head housekeeper of the Qin family usually looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman, but her physical strength is surprisingly amazing.

After climbing the mountain for so long, I don't feel tired at all.

This made Ye Bai realize that Feng Gu must also be skilled in martial arts, but she just doesn't usually show it.

But that's normal. Old Madam Qin's status is so important, how could she not have powerful bodyguards by her side?

"Tsk tsk tsk, Qin Wanqing, your physique isn't up to par. Didn't you claim you could run a marathon? Were you being pulled along by a horse?"

Ye Bai carefully put Old Madam Qin down and helped her sit on a bench in the pavilion. Then he turned to look at Qin Wanqing, who was covered in sweat and panting heavily, and laughed strangely.

To tease the stingy and unreasonable Queen Qin, Ye Bai deliberately sped up the pace in the latter part of the story.

Qin Wanqing was no match for his almost superhuman physique, but she was also stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. She felt that it was too embarrassing for her to be inferior to Ye Bai, who carried his grandmother on his back.

So they had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure it, and the final result was predictable.

"You...you surnamed Ye! Get out of here!"

Qin Wanqing was so angry at Ye Bai's sarcasm that she felt like she was about to explode, but she didn't even have the strength to retort. It was difficult for her to even utter a complete sentence.

"Oh my, you're quite fierce. But you're not wrong, if you used rolling, you'd probably get down the mountain faster than me. As expected of Queen Qin, your brain is certainly sharp!"

Ye Bai gave a thumbs up, his face full of teasing.

"Ye Bai! I'm going to bite you to death!"

Qin Wanqing was so angry she almost jumped up, but her legs gave up in the end, and she could only grit her teeth and glare at him.

Old Madam Qin sat in the pavilion, watching the young couple bicker with a smile, thinking that this was how a married couple should be.

Her eldest granddaughter is good in every way, except that she is too strong-willed and it's hard for her to find a man with a compatible personality.

Ye Bai, however, repeatedly managed to humiliate Qin Wanqing, and even when Qin Wanqing was furious, she never considered actually driving Ye Bai away or divorcing him. They were a perfect match, a pair of bickering lovers.

The Ye family's little trick of arranging a marriage by substitute marriage unexpectedly led to a blessed union, which was a stroke of good fortune for the Qin family.

After driving Queen Qin to the brink of madness, Ye Bai decided to stop while he was ahead.

After all, he's the boss. He should stop being angry now, otherwise he'll be the one crying when there's no money left to make.

"The terrain here is quite unusual..."

Ye Bai stood atop Mingtai Mountain and began to survey the area, a strange glint in his eyes.

Although Mingtai Mountain is not high or particularly steep, its terrain is quite extraordinary.

The mountain is shaded by green trees, and the pine and bamboo trees are lush and secluded.

This proves that this place is full of vitality, gathers and retains auspicious energy, and is a rare feng shui treasure land.

Although Qingfeng Temple is not large in area, it stands tall and solitary, bathed in the bright moon and gentle breeze, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, with an amazing atmosphere, truly a sacred place for Taoist cultivation.

If this really is a secret stronghold of scoundrels from the Xuanmen sect, then those guys really know how to pick a location.

"Come on, what are you waiting for? Could it be that you were just faking it all along and are now showing signs of weakness?"

Seeing Ye Bai standing there, seemingly lost in thought, Qin Wanqing, who had finally caught her breath, snorted disdainfully and seized the opportunity to retaliate.

"I don't sleep with my wife, how could I possibly be weak?"

Ye Bai moved closer to Qin Wanqing, his eyes clear, and asked with an innocent expression.

"You really are a scoundrel!"

Qin Wanqing was both ashamed and angry. Her pretty face turned red instantly, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Ye Bai's waist hard.

……

"Damn it, what happened to the gentlemanly rule of using words, not fists!"

Ye Bai rubbed his kidneys and kept cursing from behind.

It must be said that women are absolutely the most amazing creatures in the world.

She's often so delicate and frail that she can't even open a beverage bottle, but when she pinches someone, she can absolutely make you suffer excruciating pain.

Even Ye Bai, the current leader of the Xuanmen sect, couldn't withstand it.

"Young master, haven't you heard the saying, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child'? Miss is scolding and pinching you now, which means you are Miss's dear one..."

Shen Lu followed Ye Bai, her face flushed red, trying her best not to laugh out loud.

"...Don't talk nonsense. These days, even 'I love you' has become a horror movie."

Ye Bai suddenly remembered the popular suspense drama he had watched a few days ago and was instantly jolted awake.

Although Qingfeng Temple is not large, its buildings are quite complete.

The mountain gate and palace buildings are all complete.

It not only has the Sanqing Siyu Hall, but also the Caishen Hall and the Yuhuang Hall.

The most popular temple among them is naturally the Temple of the God of Wealth, where the most people burn incense.

This made Ye Bai feel that he was not alone in his path, and he felt even more that there was nothing wrong with loving money. As one of the masses, everyone was just after a few coins, and no one could escape the common desire.

However, for a top-tier wealthy family like Old Madam Qin, money had long lost its meaning, so the old lady had no interest in the God of Wealth Temple at all and went straight to the Sanqing Temple.

The old Taoist priest, whose fortune-telling and interpretation of divination were extremely accurate, whom Madam Zhu mentioned, usually resided here.

Seeing this, Ye Bai could only abandon the idea of ​​offering incense to the God of Wealth and praying that he could fleece Queen Qin more, and instead accompanied Old Madam Qin to draw lots.

Perfect timing! He also wanted to see if the old Taoist priest who told fortunes and interpreted divination slips was the "mysterious master" Liang Peng had mentioned.

Soon, Ye Bai met the other party.

The old Taoist priest was about sixty or seventy years old. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe, with his hair in a bun and three long wisps of beard. He looked kind and dignified, with the air of a sage.

Even Ye Bai, a powerful figure in the Xuanmen sect, couldn't tell whether someone was a master just by looking at their face; he needed to know more details.

For example, walking posture, calluses on the hands, and the characteristics of muscles and bones.

Ye Bai was able to tell that Zhu Daji's bodyguard, Tie Chui, practiced hard qigong because of these skills.

But the old Taoist priest sat there motionless, wearing a loose Taoist robe, which made him very well concealed.

However, this didn't stump Ye Bai; he had an even simpler solution.

He took out his phone, secretly took a picture of the old Taoist priest, and then sent it to Ling Shuang, asking her to forward it to Liang Peng and ask if it was the same person.

After taking care of all that, Ye Bai helped Old Madam Qin sit down and then stood aside.

"What kind of fortune stick does the old lady wish to draw?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and nodded to Ye Bai and the others, finally fixing his gaze on Old Madam Qin and asking in a gentle tone.

"Master, I would like to draw a divination slip for my descendants."

Old Madam Qin smiled slightly, glanced at Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing, and said, "I'd like to see when my granddaughter and grandson-in-law can give me a great-grandson..."

"grandmother!"

Before the old lady could finish speaking, Qin Wanqing blushed deeply and then pinched Ye Bai's waist hard again.
