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

For most people, the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) is a very mysterious entity, and many have never even heard of it.

However, it's not surprising that someone like Qin Xiuwen, a young master from a prominent family, would know about the existence of the Xuanmen.

But knowing and understanding are two completely different concepts.

Especially now that Ye Bai is 100% certain that Qin Wanqing's paralysis was caused by a master from the Xuanmen sect secretly interfering.

So, does this matter have anything to do with Qin Xiuwen?

A normal person would never suspect that their own brother would harm his own sister, but Ye Bai is not normal!

Uh... no, it's that the relationship between Qin Xiuwen and Qin Wanqing is abnormal.

Not only is there no sign of sibling affection between them, but they often seem more like enemies.

Most importantly, judging from Qin Xiuwen's attitude, he also strongly opposes Qin Wanqing sitting in the position of president of Qin Group.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have heard of the Xuanmen masters. You must have heard Patriarch Ye mention them by chance, right?"

"In that case, you should know how capable those people are."

"So, you'd better stop having any illusions. Wanqing's fate of bringing misfortune to her husband is unsolvable. If you continue to stay in the Qin family, you will surely die."

Qin Xiuwen also had people check Ye Bai's information, but the ten years he guarded the mountain were basically blank, so naturally they couldn't find anything useful, let alone connect him with the leader of the Xuanmen sect.

In his eyes, his brother-in-law had no other skills besides being good at sweet-talking and making his grandmother happy.

This is why he treats Ye Bai this way. If this marriage were like it was at the beginning, with his brother-in-law being Ye Xuanyuan, a genuine young master from a wealthy family, Qin Xiuwen's attitude would naturally be different.

Wealthy families have always valued matching social status, but Ye Bai's situation was purely accidental and unexpected.

"According to your logic, since I'm bound to die anyway, why waste your money?"

Ye Bai was somewhat puzzled; he didn't think Qin Xiuwen was truly compassionate.

As the saying goes, one's appearance reflects one's heart. Although Qin Xiuwen looked respectable and usually acted humble, gentle, and polite, Ye Bai had long seen through him and realized that he was actually narrow-minded and a heartless scoundrel.

In terms of nature, he is very similar to Ye Xuanyuan.

Moreover, because of his background within the system, he possesses an additional layer of hypocrisy compared to Ye Xuanyuan.

"It's simple, I don't want the Qin family to be tainted by that kind of bad luck. Funerals are better left as few as possible."

Qin Xiuwen was quite frank this time, adding, "People of your caliber will never understand. For a top-tier wealthy family like the Qin family in Jingzhou, the cost of a funeral is at least eight figures. Giving you that money is a win-win situation in a way."

Ye Bai was somewhat speechless. Upon careful consideration, Qin Xiuwen's plan seemed to make sense.

For others, it's an even more coveted opportunity.

No need to worry about being cursed to death, and you can even leave with a million-dollar breakup fee. No matter how you look at it, you won't lose out.

So he shook his head without hesitation and said, "I've never believed in any kind of 'husband-killing' fate, unless you bring those so-called esoteric masters here and let them convince me in person!"

"If they come, you'll agree to leave the Qin family?"

Qin Xiuwen was not angry; instead, his eyes lit up.

"The premise is that they are really capable and can make me believe that the late Qing dynasty was truly cursed to bring misfortune to its husbands! Don't think you can just find some charlatan fortune teller on the street to fool me. Let me tell you, I'm not someone who's easily fooled."

Ye Bai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"make a deal!"

A strange light flashed in Qin Xiuwen's eyes, and he readily agreed.

Moreover, it seems that because a deal was reached, Ye Bai was not asked to leave this time.

It's even quite possible that Qin Xiuwen initially drove people away because he wanted to force Ye Bai to agree to the deal.

"Young master, you're not really going to divorce Miss, are you?"

After Qin Xiuwen left, Shen Lu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but look at Ye Bai and ask.

Her delicate face was now filled with tension, and her two small hands gripped Ye Bai's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, her son-in-law would disappear in a flash.

"Don't worry, I'm just kidding."

Ye Bai smiled and patted Shen Lu's head, comforting the little girl.

His purpose in agreeing to Qin Xiuwen's request was to lure out the so-called "master of the Xuanmen" and determine whether he had been the one who had done the dirty work.

As for the option of leaving the Qin family, it may come in the future, but definitely not now.

He first needs to earn enough money from Queen Qin to last him the rest of his life. Even if Qin Xiuwen gave him 100 million, it wouldn't matter; he couldn't spend it.

"I knew it! You and Miss are already planning to have a baby, how can you abandon her now that you've started something!"

Shen Lu finally felt relieved, patting her small, budding breasts, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Why is your head always filled with thoughts of a baby?"

Ye Bai was somewhat amused and exasperated, then walked towards one of them.

"Xiaobai, you...you're here too..."

Seeing Ye Bai walk up to him, Zhao Jianqiang avoided eye contact and stammered a greeting.

Actually, he saw Ye Bai as soon as he entered the door and even hid in a corner.

Unexpectedly, even so, they still couldn't avoid this plague god, and he still came knocking on their door.

"Uncle, are you feeling unwell? Should I prescribe a remedy for you? It's a top-notch kidney tonic and aphrodisiac, guaranteed to make it easy for you to face those little vixens outside from now on..."

Ye Bai patted Zhao Jianqiang on the shoulder with a smile and whispered in his ear.

He knew, of course, that the couple was deliberately avoiding him, but that was precisely why he couldn't let them have their way.

Ye Bai has at least a hundred ways to make this fickle, opportunistic person uncomfortable.

"Xiao Bai, you're joking..."

Zhao Jianqiang shuddered and quickly turned to look to the side. After confirming that Qin Yuezhu, who had gone to the bathroom, had not returned, he wiped away his cold sweat.

Ever since Ye Bai exposed his affair with a mistress, Qin Yuezhu has been dragging him to bed every few days and forcing him to fulfill his marital obligations.

Moreover, in order to prevent him from finding a reason for his physical discomfort, Qin Yuezhu specially bought a bunch of medicines, such as "Viagra" and "Sildenafil".

The main goal is to make it so that you can't fail even if you want to; you're forced to succeed.

After this, Zhao Jianqiang felt like his kidneys were about to split open, and he truly understood what it meant to have not a single drop left.

Now, let alone going to find a vixen, just thinking about it makes my lower back and knees ache and my waist hurt.

"Uncle, why are you being so polite with me? Don't worry, I won't tell you how good the property management is at Jinrui Garden."

Ye Bai's smile grew even brighter, revealing a set of big white teeth.

These words might sound strange to others, but Zhao Jianqiang was so startled that he almost knelt down before Ye Bai.

His face was deathly pale, cold sweat poured down his face, and only one thought kept running through his mind.

"How did this kid know I was keeping my mistress there?"
