Chapter 285: Things Have Changed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the end of autumn, the weather was slightly cold.

At this moment, quite a few days had passed since the day the Xuanhuang Sect came to block the entrance and attack.

The bad news was that the people from the Xuanhuang Sect were still blocking and had no intention of leaving.

The good news was that the people from the Xuanhuang Sect no longer attacked. They were only stationed outside the door to block it. No one knew what their motive was.

Chen An thought that it was most likely that the other party still had spies in the Heaven Earth Sect who were plotting to destroy the Heaven Earth Sect’s sect-protecting array with these spies who had yet to be exposed.

As long as the sect-protecting formation was broken, the people of the Xuanhuang Sect would be able to attack the Heaven Earth Sect en masse.

At that time, the people of the Xuanhuang Sect would definitely be able to take down the Heaven Earth Sect easily under the lead of a Soul Formation Stage powerhouse.

Clearly, the people of the Heaven Earth Sect had thought of this as well.

Therefore, they had been investigating every disciple in the sect recently to root out all the hidden spies.

That morning, Chen An and his wives and daughters were basking in the sun by the entrance of the cave abode to relax.

The family of nine did not take a step out of the cave abode.

Throughout the entire process, he only stood or sat on the edge, enjoying the protection brought about by the Life-and-Death Array.

Buzz!

There was a long sound of air being torn apart.

A flying ship appeared in the sky.

Chen An looked up and saw the flying ship of the Law Enforcement Hall.

There were not many Enforcement Hall disciples on the boat, less than ten.

However, all of them were not weak. The lowest was at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, and the highest was at the Golden Core realm.

“Husband, it’s someone from the Law Enforcement Hall.”

Shen Qingyi, a former disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, looked at the flying ship in the sky and said.

The others were also looking up, but they did not say anything.

“Father, 1 want to take the flying ship!”

Chen Yi Ke walked to her father’s side and reached out to grab his trouser leg to pull it. She shouted deafeningly.

Before Chen An could respond, Wen Zhiyun glared at the silly daughter and scolded,

“Be quiet!”

H H

Chen Yi Ke cowered and did not dare to make another sound.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Gu Xinyue felt that she was so pitiful, so she gave her a piece of spirit cake to eat.

Chen Jiuli, who was drinking milk in her mother’s arms, immediately opened her mouth and shouted in a childish voice,

“Mother Gu, I want to eat too!”

“Little glutton, isn’t it enough to drink Mother’s milk?”

Jiu Ji pinched her daughter’s little face and said gently.

Chen Jiuli refused and wanted to eat.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Xinyue smiled and handed her a piece of rice cake to satisfy her craving.

“Husband, that flying ship has landed.”

Song Huaying pointed outside the cave abode, her voice sounding a little nervous.

She was worried that something bad would happen.

Recently, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall had been searching everywhere every day to find the remaining spies.

However, it was said that the methods of law enforcement were a little extreme. Many people were forced to confess, causing everyone to panic.

Chen An could tell that his wives were worried. He smiled and comforted them.

“Don’t worry. The Law Enforcement Hall will come eventually. It has nothing to do with us. Even if it does, I can protect you.”

Hearing this, the wives heaved a sigh of relief.

Most of the time, a simple word of comfort was all it took to ease the tension.

Of course, there was a prerequisite.

The prerequisite was that the person comforting others had to be someone worth relying on.

In their hearts, Chen An was the most reliable person in this world.

“Husband, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall are walking towards Deacon Lin’s house next door. I wonder how Deacon Lin’s family will be dealt with.”

Gu Xinyue said in a rare manner.

In the past, when she was watching her daughters play outside the cave abode, she had a good chat with Deacon Lin’s wives. Now that she saw Deacon Lin’s family in trouble, she could not help but feel a little worried.

Wen Zhiyun snorted. “Yue’er, don’t misplace your sympathy. That Deacon Lin is a spy of the Xuanhuang Sect. It’s best to deal with his family strictly.”

Shen Qingyi said nonchalantly, “I don’t think this kind of thing should implicate his family. They could just deal with Deacon Lin alone.”

Wen Zhiyun did not agree with this idea, but because Shen Qingyi was older than her, she could not argue.

However, Chen An was different. He did not agree with Shen Qingyi’s philosophy. As the head of the family, he directly expressed his opinion.

“Qingyi, you can’t say that.”

“Deacon Lin is a spy, so there’s most likely someone in his family who knows about it. They might even be a spy so they must be dealt with.”

“Even if Deacon Lin’s family really doesn’t know that he’s a spy, they’ve all enjoyed the benefits of Deacon Lin being a spy. Now that Deacon Lin is in trouble, they will definitely have to suffer together and not just enjoy the good times together.”

“Husband is right…”

Shen Qingyi couldn’t accept this idea for a while, but she still nodded obediently.

She was different from Wen Zhiyun. She would never argue with Chen An.

While the few of them were conversing,

On the other hand.

The people from the Law Enforcement Hall had already entered Deacon Lin’s house in a single file and captured all the family members in Deacon Lin’s cave abode.

They counted the number of people.

Deacon Lin had as many as a hundred wives, concubines, and children.

Not a single one was missing.

On the day Deacon Lin was captured, Deacon Lin’s cave abode was set up with an Imprisonment Array. No one in the cave abode could escape.

“As expected of a deacon of the Alchemy Hall. This beautiful wife of his is really beautiful. She’s much more beautiful than my wife.”

When a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall detained one of Deacon Lin’s wives, his gaze fell on the other party’s buttocks very wretchedly. He could not help but pinch them.

Deacon Lin’s wives were angry but did not dare to say anything. They did not dare to resist at all and could only let the other party take advantage of them.

“Husband, that person didn’t follow the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall and touched the prisoner’s family.”

Shen Qingyi couldn’t stand it anymore and wanted to attack, but in the end, she calmed down and chose to complain to Chen An.

Chen An had no intention of being a busybody. He said to Shen Qingyi,

“Helping people can be done, but it can’t be enforced.”

“The other party is indeed not following the rules, but this is an unspoken rule that many people have tacitly agreed to. As outsiders, it’s best for us not to care so much.”

ii

Unless the other party went overboard, or if the other party violated our

interests.”

Chen An said gently.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and remained silent.

She was unhappy.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Chen An smiled and comforted her.

“When I establish a sect in the future, I’ll make a Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall for you. At that time, you can set the rules. You can manage it however you want.”

“Husband, there’s no need. In the end, I’m being too nosy. This isn’t a good habit. 1 have to change.”

Shen Qingyi didn’t say anything out of anger, but she really thought so.

Chen An also knew what she was thinking.

He said nothing.

He just quietly held her hand and felt her warmth.

At this moment, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall detained Deacon Lin’s family and passed by Chen An’s cave abode.

A sharp-eyed disciple saw Chen An and immediately greeted him respectfully, “Deacon Chen.”

Seeing this, the others also shouted,

“Deacon Chen.”

“Greetings, Deacon Chen.”

H it

Due to the previous incident of water poisoning, Chen An’s prestige in the Heaven Earth Sect was very high and he was respected by many people.

Facing these greetings, Chen An smiled and nodded in response.

He looked at the Deacon in the lead and asked in a kind voice, “Deacon Ge, 1 want to ask, how will the Law Enforcement Hall deal with Deacon Lin’s family?”

Deacon Ge smiled and said, “All the women will be sent to the Joyous Union Hall, and the men will be sent to the mine. As for the children, their memories will be erased and sent to the servant room to be nurtured as servants. This is leniency given to Deacon Lin after his confession. Otherwise, his family would have died without a burial place.”

When Chen An’s wives heard this, they looked at the family sympathetically.

They knew many of Deacon Lin’s wives. Now that they saw with their own eyes that these acquaintances were going to be sent to the Joyous Union Hall to sell their bodies to survive, they could not help but sigh.

Soon, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall drove the flying ship away.

Chen Yi Ke looked at the flying ship that was gradually disappearing into the distance and reached out to tug at her father’s pants.

“Dad, where are Big Potato and Little Potato going?”

Big Potato and Little Potato were Deacon Lin’s two young daughters. Seeing that the two girls were sturdy and looked like sweet potatoes, Chen Yi Ke rudely called them Big Potato and Little Potato.

Chen An lied out of goodwill. “They’re moving. They’re moving to another place.”

“Can we still play with them?”

“Yes, you can. You can play with them when you grow up in the future.”

Chen An touched the silly second daughter’s head and replied with a gentle smile.

Chen Yi Ke liked to be patted on the head by her father. It felt very comfortable..
