I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 144 - 84: Poverty Does Not Diminish Ambition, Even Shallows Can Nurture True Dragons—Baoping State on the Brink of Catastrophe!

Black Mountain, Inner City.

Chen Jing, the Eighth Rank Military Commander, clad in heavy armor, returned dusty and grim, saying nothing as he led Chen Qingping out from the Yunluan Daoist School, not looking back once, intending to take her back to the Guardian Mansion.

During this, Chen Qingping voiced her dissatisfaction, "Uncle, the entire Black Mountain belongs to our Guardian Mansion. Even if Yunluan Daoist School has a mountain backing it, what about those two brothers from the Ji family?"

"They're just from the alleys of the Outer City. Just two months ago, aside from a hunting privilege issued by the Outer City Government Office, they were dirt poor, with a house as empty as a shell, not even stepping into the threshold of Martial Dao."

"Are we really just leaving like this?"

Chen Qingping felt quite unwilling. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She was humiliated greatly in Yunluan Daoist School, and couldn't accept it.

Imagine being reprimanded and scolded in front of so many martial artists. If only it was someone like Pei Lvye, a Celestial Pride descending from Yunluan Mountain, tarnishing her face, perhaps that would be bearable.

But Ji Han, what kind of lowly wretch is he!

If not for the lucky borrow of Yunluan Mountain's influence, today, he would dare come attacking. If he stayed, she would surely give him a 'ten deaths and no returns' outcome!

Plus his brother Jixia, has spiritual aptitude known even to children as young as three. If a tiger is unleashed back to the mountain, it would surely lead to boundless future troubles.

Without quickly cutting the tangled mess, pacifying future troubles at a stroke, if he were to grow, once he cultivates into Great Innate, even refining Yellow Court Dantian and Carefree Divine Soul.

Wouldn't they have to fight the whole Black Mountain Chen Family to the end?!

Chen Jing seemed to notice his niece's dissatisfaction, and remained silent for a long, long time.

Seemingly seeing clearly for the first time, his spoiled third-generation little princess lacked brains so much.

At that moment,

He felt somewhat weary:

"You..."

"Forget it, forget it."

"If it's just spiritual aptitude, it's nothing. Black Mountain has experienced those before. If we cultivate into Great Innate, unless he has naturally formed a Profound Body, favored by a Great Cultivator, otherwise in thirty to fifty years, he won't stir up anything major."

"But you..."

Chen Jing suddenly squeezed Chen Qingping's shoulder, causing her pain, letting out a soft cry, her face pale.

But as her uncle, holding the authority of Black Mountain's Military Commander, filled with fearless courage, Chen Jing showed no pity, only coldly said:

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

"You're outright foolish!"

"Look at the mess you've made!"

Up until today.

Chen Jing, alongside the entire Black Mountain Chen Family.

From the secluded, elderly Wang Chen Zhao of the Guardian Mansion, to her father Chen Gong who is currently managing the Guardian Mansion affairs, and Chen Zhenwu, head of the Outer City Government Office...

None of these three actual power holders of the Chen Family knew.

The truth behind Chen Qingping's 'Yunluan Daoist School' disciple status.

Where she colluded with the Outer City wealthy 'Wei Family', hired assassins, plotted against the original last-ranking 'Ji Han', to achieve it!

And she personally sought within Yunluan Daoist School a Teaching Elder responsible for examination, 'Wang Xun', leveraging family connections and Wang Xun's relations with the Guardian Mansion...

Privately, she assembled the entire plan single-handedly!

Have to say,

Such boldness!

If you say you did it, then it's done.

As long as no one knows, even if the Chen Family finds out later, at most they would say this girl is 'ruthless and fierce', indeed possessing a hero's posture to guard the heritage.

But you just can't accomplish things, and fail more than you succeed!

Performing such secretive deeds without seeking the family's Great Innate for direct thunderous action.

Instead, involving an Outer City bootlicker, relying on some talent, turning an arrogant eye, actually amounting to nothing but a drunken wastrel, making mistake after mistake.

If Chen Jing wasn't mistaken.

Ji Han little over a month ago, only had Mercury Blood Silver Marrow, barely earning a place at the very end.

With such Martial Dao cultivation,

Could he really run back alive from Black Mountain?

And be clueless?

That Ji Han, Chen Jing had seen him before.

Just earlier in Yunluan Daoist School, a fleeting glance.

He had the demeanor of an eagle and a wolf!

Like a young wolf cub!

That gaze would make even Chen Jing, clad for demon slaying and commanding troops, feel uneasy.

And if it were only such a temperament, it might be bearable.

But Ji Han, coincidentally, was born with a rich and abundant vitality, taut skin, an appearance of 'immune to water and fire'.

Clearly having reached Foundation Establishment Great Success, a step forward could attempt 'Circulation Qi Collection', even opening acupoints!

Chen Jing didn't need to look further or guess.

He knew this boy must have gained a significant opportunity amidst those continuous rocky peaks.

Thinking of this, Chen Jing's big hand tightened, pressing harder, causing Chen Qingping's face to scrunch up in pain, with no intention of sparing his kin.

Meanwhile, Chen Jing's expression grew ever darker:

"That boy's brother, Jixia!"

"Originally, it was your uncle who went through great effort to match you with him!"

"As long as you behave properly, with resources provided by the Guardian Mansion, coupled with 'Jixia's spiritual aptitude, wouldn't he be your ideal mate?"

"Now see what happened."

"You intend to kill his younger brother, and when the matter was exposed, it was laid bare in front of the entire Yunluan Daoist School!"

"Although I desperately denied it at the time."

"But once this spreads out, gossip flows, whom do you think the Black Mountain People from Inner and Outer City would believe?"

"The Chen Family, with decades of foundation, originally held a position as stable as a mountain. Yet as your grandfather grows old, at this critical juncture, might it not be eyed by covetous individuals, seeking our place?"
