Chapter 716

The Chen Family originally did hide many secrets, but now there aren't many of those secrets left.

"Now it seems there's nothing particularly remarkable; what are you asking about?" Chen Wuji asked.

Qin Zhonghong reached up and pointed at the roof, "Those two up there, sitting there have no breath, no weight, looking at them they seem as light as a cloud. Husband, do you know what level this is for a martial practitioner? It's the true realm of a Grandmaster."

"I really don't understand what you're saying; does it mean it's very impressive?" Chen Wuji asked.

Since he knew he was already past the age for martial training and wouldn't achieve any proficiency, he seldom learned about such matters anymore.

However, he still persisted in practicing martial arts daily; even if he didn't achieve proficiency, as a cavalry general, archery and horsemanship must be mastered, and persisting in practice can improve some ability to kill enemies, which is always good.

Qin Zhonghong gave Chen Wuji a strange look, "Husband, isn't that incredibly impressive? Above Grandmaster is Supreme Grandmaster; such experts are rare in the world, do you think they're impressive?"

"I've been in the Chen Family for so long, yet I never realized there were still Grandmasters! This is utterly unbelievable; your family truly can hide them, truly unbeknownst to gods and ghosts."

"I suddenly recalled that when I led people in a mighty manner to capture my husband, upon reflection it felt like I had walked through the Gate of Ghosts; fortunately I only tied my husband to a pillar and didn't slash him with a knife!"

At this moment, recalling those events, Qin Zhonghong truly felt lingering fear.

Given Chen Wuji's status in the Chen Family, at that time someone must have been secretly following and knew what she did to him; once his life was endangered, those people would certainly act.

"Husband, I suddenly feel fortunate that I have those little quirks; they saved my life!" Qin Zhonghong lay on Chen Wuji's body, shaking her head with a mixture of laughter and tears.

Who would have thought that the seemingly ordinary Xishan Village is actually a den of dragons and tigers.

"Actually, I didn't know about these things either!" Chen Wuji said seriously, "When you captured me, I was panicking to the point of chaos, and I had even prepared my LastWords."

"If I had known earlier that I was the Family Head of the Chen Family, and that there were so many experts behind me, I would have acted recklessly; perhaps back then it would have been you tied to the pillar."

Qin Zhonghong chuckled, poked Chen Wuji with her finger, and lowered her voice: "Tie up at night, I like this way; husband, you've never played like this before."

"Husband, you're too reserved about these things; you should be a bit wilder, that would be fun; always being proper and orderly about those things, what's the point?"

Chen Wuji gave a helpless nod, "Alright, I'll listen to you, be a bit wilder."

At that moment, Lu Wanwan, who was leaning against the car window watching the scenery, suddenly turned her head and asked, "Third Sister, you just said they have no breath and look light as a cloud—does that mean they're Grandmasters?"

"That's a fairly obvious trait, but not an absolute one; some who cultivate the physical body exhibit the opposite—at a glance they give the impression of a mountain, as if rooted in the earth." Qin Zhonghong explained, "Why are you asking this? Have you seen one?"

"My San Shu and my father are like that, though I don't know if they're Grandmasters! They probably aren't; our family doesn't have anyone exceptionally skilled in martial arts." Lu Wanwan said.

"Their village is full of Sword Knight, and they hide themselves deeply!" Chen Wuji said.

"If it weren't for Zhi Xu Daozhang's explanation, I would have almost sent troops over."

"Ah?" Lu Wanwan exclaimed, mouth slightly open, "Why would husband send troops to our village? We're just a small village; everyone usually behaves peacefully."

"Your village sits right at the doorstep of the Qiang People, yet for so many years it hasn't suffered their incursions—isn't that suspicious? Now that you are my wife, I certainly need to learn the details of your village." Chen Wuji said, "The fact is, everyone there is an expert."

"Your father and San Shu must be Grandmasters, no doubt; being able to deter the Qiang People from invading, a peaceful little village like yours wouldn't lack a master overseeing it."

Lu Wanwan felt somewhat dazed, "I've never heard of these things before; they really are… even keeping me in the dark—too much."

"Keeping it from you is actually for your own good; knowing some things too early isn't beneficial." Chen Wuji said, having once not understood why his clan kept things from him, until later he gradually realized.

Some paths, he needs to walk himself.

Stepping out, seeing a different world, only then will the power behind him become true aid; if he grasps power too early, perhaps it will bring catastrophe upon himself and his clan.

Lu Wanwan pouted, somewhat unhappy, "I still can't understand; I'm just a girl, knowing these things wouldn't affect them."

Qin Zhonghong suddenly covered her forehead and gave a bitter smile.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wuji asked strangely.

Qin Zhonghong extended two fingers, "Husband, twice, twice! I suddenly feel very impressed with myself; I walked through the Gate of Ghosts in a daze twice, yet noticed nothing."

"Grandmasters aren't like wild vegetables growing everywhere; such experts are also rare, they're just a bit above Supreme Grandmasters. Yet how come here they're everywhere?"

"Husband, actually I originally planned to abduct Lu Wanwan!"

"You, forcibly abduct a civilian woman?!" Chen Wuji was instantly stunned.

Living ancestor, tell me, is there anything you dare not do?

Qin Zhonghong quickly waved her hands to explain, "Husband, it's not the kind of abduction you're thinking of; I had actually agreed with Lu Wanwan beforehand, but she worried her family wouldn't agree, so I thought maybe we shouldn't abduct her after all."

Because her mother favored a young man in the village, always wanting Lu Wanwan to marry that youth, but Lu Wanwan didn't like him and even disliked him.

Lu Wanwan lightly nodded, "That guy is terrible, he deceived the bodies of several girls in the village, but when I tell my parents they don't believe me. That scoundrel behaves nicely in front of elders, especially winning my mother's favor."

My mother has mentioned this marriage several times in front of me, but I would rather die than marry that scoundrel; just thinking about it makes me angry. If I knew martial arts, I would surely beat him to death!

Qin Zhonghong sighed heavenward, "Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately I didn't do that; otherwise a Grandmaster would have drawn his sword and cut me down—truly terrifying."

"Your luck is really not bad!" Chen Wuji chuckled, "From now on you can call yourself externally, having battled numerous Grandmasters without a single defeat—what do you think?"

Qin Zhonghong gave a soft hum, lightly pinched Chen Wuji's arm, "Your concubine still cares about face; don't say such things, I don't need this empty fame."
