1059: Chapter 649_2 1059: Chapter 649_2 After following the man in black, there was already a special way to verify whether a man was a virgin or not.
Just by looking at his physique, one could tellâmuch like how some men have their methods to discern if a woman is a virgin.
What I just said was merely to settle the Monk down and to joke with him!
âBenefactor, donât make a fuss.
How can we monks drink alcohol and eat meat?
Wouldnât that turn us into wine-loving Monks?
As a monk, Iâve never heard of taking a wife, unless I return to secular life as a Secular Disciple!â
The Monk, red-faced and embarrassed, wouldnât glare or resort to violence like those men even if he felt humiliated!
Bian Shasha found the Monk in front of her extremely amusing.
Such a man might have another side to him; perhaps he wouldnât beat his wife, making him a good candidate for a husband!
âMy husband, from now on you are my husband.
Youâve never tasted the delights of life beforeâdrinking alcohol, eating meat, marrying a wifeâare all great joys of life you havenât experienced.
Donât you feel like youâre missing out on something in life?
Anyway, in the current world where no one can achieve Ascension, isnât it possible for you to cultivate high-level abilities and become my husband?â
As Bian Shasha spoke with tempting words, the Monk wanted to retort, but the large doors âcreakedâ open from the inside.
A Guard appeared, which stopped the Monk from continuing his rebuttal.
The Guard looked out to see a Monk and an unfamiliar woman outside the gate.
He sensed something slightly incongruous about this pairing.
Out of politeness and fulfilling his duty as a guard, he courteously inquired, âMay I ask who this lady and monk are looking for?â
âThis humble monkâŠâ The Monk hadnât finished speaking when Bian Shashaâs voice interrupted him.
âYou look somewhat unfamiliar.
I am your young mistress Bian Shasha.
Go, tell my father and mother that their daughter has returned!â
The Guard had heard of the young mistress of the household, a Fairy from the Immortal Sect.
However, she had not yet arrived to take her Guard position when the young mistress left for a great Sect.
This beautiful woman in front of him might indeed be the young mistress; it wouldnât make sense for someone to impersonate her here.
Wouldnât it be known once the Guard reported to Patriarch Bian and the Mistress?
If they were enemies, he hadnât sensed any murderous intent from either of them, and one of them was, after all, a Monk.
Then the Guardâs gaze fell on the hands they were holdingâŠ
Why was the young mistress holding hands with a Monk?
Could the young mistress have taken a liking to a Monk?
Aside from his Monk identity, he looked quite decent.
If it werenât for his Monk status, they might have made a matching pair!
The Guard only dared to entertain such thoughts privately, definitely not voicing them in front of this capable Fairyâhe did not wish to be unfairly beaten by the mistress!
âMiss, please come in.
Master Monk, please come in as well.â
âHmm,â Bian Shasha snorted pridefully through her nose, having returned to her domain where she could now call the shots.
She led the Monk by the hand, taking him inside the gates!
The Guard swiftly closed the gates and then dashed inside to report to the Family Head and Mistress, his voice ringing like a bell throughout the wealthy Mansion.
âThe young mistress is back?
Patriarch Bian, Mistress, the young mistress has returned!â
The Guardâs announcement brought joy to some and worries to others.
Bian Shasha, an able cultivator and the young mistress, held the best resources in the family, with the Sect also supporting her with resources.
Apart from her father and mother, other cultivators, or her fatherâs other wives, both those who could cultivate and those who could not, and the remaining children who couldnât cultivate, were considered second-class as they indulged in luxury and since they couldnât cultivate.
They had less resources than the young mistress, and even the men in the family couldnât help but feel envious of her.
Why should all the glory be taken by her as they grew up?
Patriarch Bian also wished his sons could succeed in business and excel in their studies.
He fostered his other sons and daughters with the hope that they could marry well and continue the wealthy family lineage!
As for the capable young mistress who could cultivate, since she could achieve a longer life, the current Family Head had the resources to support her cultivation.
However, in the future, those sons might not necessarily continue to support their sister.
As daughters will eventually become part of someone elseâs family, Patriarch Bian also hoped that his daughter could marry a capable being who was a cultivator.
In the absence of a cultivating son, a grandson who could cultivate would suffice!
Patriarch Bian, after his daughter grew up and went to the Immortal Sect, had only one daughter who could cultivate.
Now, his wife is pregnant again, with twin sons who are nearly five years old, just the right age to test for a Spiritual Root, right?
This non-cultivating family of his purchased a Magical Treasure for testing Spiritual Roots with money.
He wanted to secretly test for Spiritual Roots among the family members, so that the younger generation wouldnât arouse envy from others and be harmed when they are still young and their abilities not yet strong.
Patriarch Bian, in the environment of a large clan, protects his own children, while also not wanting other women and non-cultivating children to harm those who can cultivate.
In his position, there are contenders, and not all Capable Beings will compete for it, especially cultivators!
Over the years, his eldest daughter, who can cultivate, has received more resources than his sons.
He knows that many are envious.
While she was still young and under his protection, in the Immortal Sect, he could only do his best to give her more resources and wealth, so she would not suffer there!
After waiting many years, he watched as his daughter grew up.
Sons of a similar age are getting engaged and married, yet this cultivating daughter is the one he cannot control!
The news of the eldest missâs return spread throughout the Bian Mansion in an instant; this message brought joy to some and worries to others!
It just so happens to be dinner time in the evening.
The Bian family doesnât eat three meals a day; all the members of the household gather together!
They only gather in the main hallâs dining room on the first and fifteenth of each month, where eight tables are set up!
Since Patriarch Bian took over the family business and established his own household, as the Family Head, he has married and had children here.
Apart from his parents and grandparents, other direct relatives and children born out of wedlock move out after marrying!
The brothers of his grandparents moved out long ago, and his grandfatherâs concubines also live in separate courtyards, which wonât be neglected even after they are deceased, to be passed on to the next generation.
The children born to his parents are already married off, with daughters-in-law moving out!
As for his fatherâs concubines, they also live here!
The family gatherings of Patriarch Bian on the first and fifteenth are not boisterous, as his grandparents are elderly.
His father and mother might join in the merriment, but his fatherâs concubines should not attend!
His own children, as well as his concubines, will gather!
Married-off daughters and sons who have already taken wives, especially those born out of wedlock, have also moved out!
The dining room with eight tables is not short on people; one could say the Bian family is thriving!
In such a wealthy family, those who cannot cultivate are not short of attendants, but they begrudge the fact that they cannot cultivate and achieve longevity!
The news of the eldest Missâs return spreads throughout the dining hall.
Those who are watching the meal all turn their eyes towards the door!
Patriarch Bian looks elated: âQuick, quick, quick, my child has returned.
Add bowls and chopsticks to our table.â
âMy child has returned, quickly let the kitchen make the dishes my child likes!â Lady Bian also joyfully commands.
âYes,â the tasked people busily comply.
Others look on, their faces inscrutable, displaying no joy and some even secretly resent the fact that someone has come back to steal the limelight.
Those young women who are about to be betrothed are afraid this older sister will come back and upstage them!
Those who wish to snatch the position of patriarch from their father wonder if this elder sister will come back to seize the Family Headâs position?
At the Family Headâs table sits a pair of nearly five-year-old twins, their eyes curiously darting around, very intrigued by this older sister.
A guard has something on his mind he feels he might have forgotten to mention, and he mustnât slip up and get blamed: âFamily Head, the eldest Miss has brought back a Guest!â
âOh, male or female?â
âMale!â
âQuick, add more bowls and chopsticks!â Lady Bian hears the guard and is overjoyed.
She doesnât sit still and commands the maids to reward the guard, who waits at the door!
