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

"Second Madam? Which Second Madam?"

Aside from her two main skills of eating and martial arts, Shen Lu is a total scatterbrain.

"...We don't need to worry about other people's second wives."

Ye Bai rubbed the little girl's head and began to think about whether he should let silly Lulu eat less in the future.

Eating too much can affect intelligence; this is a scientifically proven truth.

Except him, of course.

He is a high-ranking figure in the Xuanmen sect, protected by Xuanxue (mystical arts).

"Our second wife?"

Shen Lu was initially a little confused, but then she suddenly opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Aunt...Young Master, you...you mean Qin Shuang's second daughter?"

Because she was so surprised, the little girl not only stuttered but also spoke incoherently.

Fortunately, Ye Bai could still understand, and nodded, saying, "That's right, I'm talking about Aunt Chen."

When Ye Bai first learned from Qin Wanqing that Chen Jingmei was getting younger and younger, he didn't pay much attention.

It's common knowledge that wealthy women are good at taking care of themselves.

Moreover, Chen Jingmei is not yet forty years old, so she is not considered very old.

It wasn't until he learned that the other party had a close relationship with scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect and had given the car to a pretty boy that Ye Bai vaguely realized something was wrong.

This reminded me of the forbidden techniques of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect.

The Dao of Yin and Yang is the relentless pursuit of the Xuanmen (Taoist school).

Moreover, the art of dual cultivation has existed since ancient times.

However, some scoundrels in the esoteric arts, in their pursuit of immortality, have gradually become unscrupulous in their methods.

Those dual cultivation techniques that were originally beneficial to both parties have been turned into insidious methods used only to exploit one party.

Countless innocent people have been destroyed by this secret technique.

Enraged, the leader of the Xuanmen sect not only personally hunted down and killed those "flower thieves," but also destroyed all these secret techniques and forbade their cultivation.

However, any means of extending lifespan and maintaining youth are not so easily erased, and there will always be people who will take risks, even go mad, for them.

Thus, this method became a forbidden technique in the Xuanmen (mystical sects) on the surface, but it was still passed down slowly.

Occasionally, a few fearless individuals would jump out and commit crimes using this forbidden technique, only to be expelled from the sect by the Xuanmen.

But the tradition has never been broken.

However, Ye Bai had asked Lu Sita whether the "Five Scoundrels" knew this secret technique.

According to Lu Sita, he didn't know if Sun Yibiao would do it, but he was certain that he wouldn't; he had only heard about it.

Qiu Wude certainly wouldn't, as that guy's status among the scum of the Xuanmen sect is even lower than his.

That's why Ye Bai wondered if he was overthinking things.

Chen Jingmei is no ordinary person; she is the second wife of the Qin family, the most powerful family in Jingzhou!

Would such a top-tier figure practice such despicable things?

It wasn't until he encountered the man in the black trench coat again today that Ye Bai finally realized, in shock, that he might have guessed correctly.

Only a forbidden technique from the mystical sects could make a young man suddenly age like this in a short period of time.

As for why he was so certain that the other party was not his brother or father as Shen Lu had guessed, it was because of physiognomy.

Each person's destiny is unique, just like a fingerprint.

No matter how much makeup or dressing up you do, even if you disguise yourself or have plastic surgery, this will not change.

If it were so easy to change one's fate, it wouldn't be worthy of the title "defying fate".

Therefore, Ye Bai couldn't possibly be mistaken. Moreover, it would be very easy to figure this out; he could simply ask the man in the black trench coat.

It's just that there are too many people on the food street, so Ye Bai can't stop them.

"The Second Madam is actually a 'witch'?! This... how is this possible...!"

Shen Lu stopped clinging to Ye Bai's arm and asking him all sorts of questions; she was completely stunned by the news.

Her big eyes were dull and lifeless, and she kept muttering to herself; the little girl looked terrible.

There was no other way; if Ye Bai said that the "demoness" was the wife of the third branch of the family, Shen Lu would immediately accept it.

Because that woman, who was a celebrity and always acted coquettishly, was clearly no good.

But Chen Jingmei was different. Although she was beautiful, after the death of Qin Shengjin, the eldest son of the Qin family, she remained well-behaved and rarely left the house, spending her days eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist prayers!

How could someone like that be a vixen who goes around taking advantage of young men?

Shen Lu couldn't understand it; her already limited brain felt like it had turned into a complete mess.

Seeing this, Ye Bai didn't try to comfort or advise her, but instead let the little girl process it on her own.

In fact, his head was buzzing just as much.

If he encounters other guys using forbidden techniques of the Xuanmen sect to replenish their energy, he can just go up and clean up their mess without having to think about anything else.

But since it involves Chen Jingmei, the second wife of the Qin family, things suddenly become extremely complicated!

In particular, Chen Jingmei is Qin Wanqing's stepmother!

In name only, she is also his stepmother!

Not to mention that he can't easily take action, even figuring out how to talk to Qin Wanqing is a huge problem!

After her father's early death, her stepmother, in order to stay young, constantly seduced young men to replenish their vital essence.

Even an ordinary person would find this unacceptable, let alone the proud and noble Queen of Jingzhou!

Ye Bai was even worried that if Qin Wanqing found out, she might immediately go and fight Chen Jingmei.

Given Queen Qin's fiery temper, she might very well do something like this.

In particular, the relationship between Qin Wanqing and Chen Jingmei has never been good.

Once the two sides really start fighting, it will be impossible to keep it from Old Madam Qin.

Even if others don't mention it, Qin Shengshui, Qin Shengfeng, and other high-ranking members of the Qin family will immediately pass the news to the old lady.

Given Old Madam Qin's physical condition and age, she absolutely could not withstand such a huge shock!

The consequences at that time are predictable.

This is undoubtedly a situation that some people would like to see, or even dream of.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of those Qin family leaders who wanted to seize power, the Old Madam Qin, who had always protected Qin Wanqing and become their strongest backer, had lived far too long.

"It's really fucking tough to make money and life is just as tough!"

Ye Bai's head ached more and more as he thought about it, so he decided to stop thinking about it for now and find the man in the black trench coat to get the answers first.

If you're lucky, it turns out he made a mistake, and then you won't have to worry about it anymore.

After all, there are always unexpected events.

So, to soothe his wounded heart, Ye Bai went and bought two more boxes of stinky tofu.

And so, the two of them, one big and one small, ate stinky tofu and followed the man in black to the roadside.

After watching the other person get into a taxi, Ye Bai told Shen Lu to go back and drive, while he also flagged down a taxi behind him and followed.

Nearly an hour later, the taxi in front arrived at its destination.

It turned out to be a place Ye Bai was very familiar with, District 8.
