Chapter 898: Mrs. Cheng Becos the Center of Attention (Thunder System Cultivation thod Price Drop)
Gu Dongxing said, "eting you and ngyu is indeed my good fortune."
ngyu laughed, "Enough with the sweet talk, why don’t the three of us form a contract and pledge to live and die together, forever as siblings!"
The three exchanged glances, feeling that this was the best course of action. After forming the contract, they would have a spiritual connection and could sense each other’s presence unless they were separated by great distances.
So, the three of them lit incense and pledged to the heavens, and thus the legendary iron triangle that would later shake the Immortal Cultivation World was born.
As soon as ngyu finished forming a contract with Gu Dongxing and Cheng Jiuhe, Xiao Tao said inside the space, "Master, the Thunder System Cultivation thod has dropped to fifty thousand rit Points. Do you want to exchange for it?"
Upon inquiring from Xiao Tao, ngyu learned that after forming a contract with Gu Dongxing, the Thunder System Cultivation thod he needed had suddenly beco half-priced.
ngyu was just about to say to exchange for it when Xiao Tao added, "Master, if you marry Gu Dongxing, it’ll be free, and if you’re engaged, it’ll only cost ten thousand rit Points."
Upon hearing that an engagent could save four harvests of rit Points, ngyu was tempted.
She only had about sixty-one thousand rit Points in total, and forming the contract cut the cost in half, but an engagent would reduce it to just ten thousand. She wanted to save those extra forty thousand rit Points.
But how could she get Gu Dongxing to propose an engagent?
ngyu returned to her dorm in the academy, where her roommates were still asleep. However, Wang Huilan and Huang Zifeng, who were ditating inside the bed curtains, woke up imdiately and rushed to open the window to welco her back.
ngyu motioned for silence, floating in through the window and landing directly on her upper bunk.
Apart from the three of them, no one else knew that ngyu had just returned from a certain section of the Nan Family.
ngyu’s spiritual power reached into the space, taking out two jars of Jade Liquid to give to her two disciples. However, after so thought, she put them back—sharing such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures might expose them to unnecessary risk.
The next day, rumors quietly arose in the Capital City suggesting that Mrs. Cheng, Xiao Yuhua, had attained her position as a third party.
Wherever she went, people whispered and pointed fingers. Activities she had previously arranged were suddenly canceled one by one due to phone calls, even though the events still took place without her invitation.
Who would want to engage with a husband-stealing third party in polite conversation?
Given her reputation, who could trust that being close wouldn’t result in her stealing their own husband?
Moreover, what if bringing her to events with children resulted in a bad influence on soone’s daughter?
It was the year 1981, and people still held simple beliefs. Even though n may have been tempted, they rarely dared act. If a third party appeared, it was truly a subject of public condemnation.
Even if a third party successfully rose in status, they still remained unaccepted by legitimate wives.
Once admired and sought after, the high-ranking official’s wife, Xiao Yuhua, found her days becoming difficult.
Simultaneously, rumors spread that Mrs. Cheng, who rose as a third party, coveted a courtyard given to her stepson’s family by his grandparents, forcing him to sell it and then pursuing the buyer to reclaim it.
"Have you heard? Mrs. Cheng, Xiao Yuhua, is actually a third party who rose to power."
"Be careful what you say; she was married after the first Madam Nan passed away."
"The formal marriage took place after Madam Nan died, but it’s said that they were already expecting before she passed. It’s believed that they drove Madam Nan to her death."
"Alas, so people build their happiness on the pain of others, with a truly bad conscience."
