Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 879 The Inevitable Relationship Between Immortals and Family Harmony
If what He Songling said is true, and his "curse" can last for 1,500 years, Wang Weiguo doesn't need more. If he can live to be 200 years old, his life will be worthwhile.

He wasn't completely unaware of the true nature of these extraordinary people. Although he didn't understand them, he knew that the so-called stories of gods and immortals that had been passed down were all methods left behind by these ancient extraordinary people.

After all, his son had left home to become a "superhuman" on Wudang Mountain, so the father had to know.

According to ancient legends, those who encountered immortals, like Zhu Bajie, an ordinary idle farmer, received the true teachings of immortals on alchemy and cultivated themselves into immortals, becoming Marshal Tianpeng.

Even if you don't have Pigsy's luck, like encountering a deity who casually gives you a fire date or a peach of immortality to extend your life by fifty or a hundred years, that would still be good!
"Unfortunately, no."

He Songling didn't even need to deliberately try to read Wang Weiguo's mind. To put it scientifically, his emotions were fluctuating so violently that his brainwaves were practically overflowing.

Ordinary people cannot receive or decipher this fluctuation, but for He Songling, who is a deity, it is no different from having his thoughts shouted out in his ear.

"Gods and immortals are really just like that. Ancient people didn't understand science or how the world works. When they encountered things they couldn't understand, they would exaggerate them to an extreme. But now, the world, at least the Earth, has no secrets from humankind."

He Songling spread his hands at Wang Weiguo: "What was Jiajing's status? How many elixirs did he take? How many years did he cultivate? How many years did he live? You, don't even think about it. If you really want to live a couple more years, that's fine too. I'll lock you in my inner world and release you after a few decades. That way, you'll have skipped those years."

"What is that thing?" Wang Weiguo asked Wang Ye, who shook his head.

Despite being a sorcerer, the inner vision he knew, the one that everyone used, was clearly different from He Songling's time chamber.

"Simply put, it's like freezing time; you won't age inside. But, you've served in the military, right? You've heard of the 'little black room,' haven't you?"

He Songling pointed at Wang Weiguo, "It's even more terrifying than that. There are no directions, no changing seasons, no sunrise or sunset, no light, no darkness, no sense of time, and no sound. Not to mention you, even Wang Ye only lasted three months inside."

He added in his mind, "Kakarot can only last a year. As for the Time Chamber, that's just a joke."

"Tsk, alright then." Wang Weiguo wasn't a greedy person. Wanting immortality is human nature, but he wasn't greedy, nor would he be easily blinded by desire. Despite lacking systematic training as a sorcerer, Wang Weiguo was stronger than Chen Jinkui, the head of the Sorcery Sect, in resisting inner desires.

"Brother...brother...uncle...no, well, you know."

Wang Weiguo tried addressing his son several times, but each time it felt awkward, so he gave up and said directly, "Well, that's settled then. My son can stay with you, a true sage, so I'm relieved. I'll transfer the other 100 million to my son's account. Please check your account."

Wang Weiguo was quick-witted. He knew that He Songling was a figure from more than a hundred years ago, and that someone at his level didn't know anything about him, which meant he was hiding his identity. Worried that He Songling wouldn't be able to open a bank account normally, he thoughtfully offered a solution.

“Alright, that’s settled then. Uncle Wang is a man of extraordinary character, and your son is someone I value. Before you leave, I’ll give you a performance, so it’ll be worth the price of admission.” He Songling said, stepping up and his Qi surged beneath his feet, forming a cloud of auspicious energy that lifted the other four young people up.

"Soaring through the clouds!" Wang Weiguo sighed inwardly as he watched the five people fly away. "Truly immortals. What a pity, but thankfully." It was a pity that he didn't have the chance to become an immortal himself, but thankfully his son could follow the immortals.

"Old Ling, why did you just fly away like that? It's not good for ordinary people to see, is it?" Wang asked from the side.

After the establishment of Na Du Tong, Lao Zhong's side also had a "secrecy law" similar to that in Europe. Although there was no explicit provision, in principle, it was prohibited for the methods of superhumans to affect ordinary people.

It's not a big problem if you do it yourself normally, but if someone like He Songling flies through the air in broad daylight, in this mobile internet age, and someone films it and posts it online, causing a public discussion, that would be a very troublesome thing.

"What are you afraid of? Aren't they all your family?"

He Songling's intentions were not entirely to perform divine feats for his current top supporter, Wang Weiguo, who had spent 210 million yuan. He also had the intention of helping Wang Ye to maintain harmony within his family. Wang Ye's second sister-in-law was on the second floor at the time, and her desire for cultivation was no less intense than Wang Weiguo's.

What is Wang Ye's second sister-in-law afraid of? It's nothing more than Wang Ye's second brother, Wang Yi, who is recognized as having the worst talent and ability. The position of family successor was only given to the second brother because the eldest brother loved overseas expansion and the third brother loved cultivating Taoism in the mountains.

Wang Ye's second sister-in-law, that old woman, possesses all the characteristics of most old women: infighting, shortsightedness, brainlessness, disdain for her husband, insatiable greed, taking more than her share, and if you have to say, there's also her concern for their son.

This led to Wang Ye's second sister-in-law's absolute inability to accept the family fortune falling into the hands of others. Not to mention most of the family fortune, just the fact that Wang Weiguo gave Wang Ye and his friends 200 million yuan in the past two days made Wang Ye's second sister-in-law extremely distressed.

If Wang Ye were to stay at home permanently, she would definitely find a way to force her husband to leave with her.

Even after Wang Ye left, she was still worried. If he could come home once, why couldn't he come home a second time? If he didn't come back now, wouldn't he come back when Wang Weiguo was dying? What if her father-in-law made a will on his deathbed, bequeathing the family property to Wang Ye?
There were a few moments when even Wang Ye's second sister-in-law considered hiring an assassin to kill her brother-in-law.

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. If she were to actually do it, she wouldn't be able to. Even if she were prepared to do it, Wang Yi wouldn't cooperate. He didn't have that strong a belief, and once he encountered a setback, he would give up.

But since Wang Ye is now under his little brother's command, He Songling can't just abduct him and cause unrest in his family, can he?
He might as well reveal his divine skills.

Soaring through the clouds and achieving immortality—what level is that? Can your few cronies really buy you immortality? If some immortals were taking you on a cultivation journey, who would still care about their measly money?

Wang Ye's second sister-in-law looked up at the sky and regretted it a little. She wished she had built a good relationship with Xiao Ye earlier. What if he could have left some elixir for her son?
