Unlocking The Easy Mode Of Cultivation After Getting Married

“Haven’t I disciplined you strictly enough?” Su Xiaoyue snorted coldly, “Has everything your father said during the annual family banquet been in vain? Did you take it to heart?”

Su Xiaoyue swept her gaze around.

Everyone was silent and hung their heads.

Many of these people were sons of other ladies, and then their sons had sons, and they married again, all of them were ‘members’ of the Qin family.

But at this moment, they all bowed their heads, not daring to say a word in front of Su Xiaoyue.

In a pavilion further away, a few ladies gathered together and watched. “Sister Xiaoyue usually looks weak, but everyone is afraid of her.”

“Hehe- Indeed, she has such an imposing manner, I can’t do that.”

“Sister Xiaoyue always takes care of the Qin family’s affairs; it’s hard for her.”

“There are so many complexities in the mundane world; indeed, with so many entanglements, there are more things to worry about, making it difficult to calm down and practice cultivation.”

Murong Xue sighed softly.

The ladies deeply agreed.

Liu Siqi cocked her head: “But, don’t we all cultivate by dual cultivation with our husbands? Do we need to calm our minds?”

“Uh…” The ladies looked at each other.

Indeed.

Under these circumstances, they didn’t know how to respond.

Making efforts was useless; they only relied on their husbands to help with dual cultivation.

If this was made known, people might think the Qin family belonged to the

Hehuan Sect.

“Father is here.”

At this moment, there was a commotion in the courtyard.

“Grandfather is here.’

Qin Changqing came walking over from a corridor; as he stepped into the courtyard, the whispers instantly came to an abrupt halt.

Especially the two young men who were kneeling, they were shaking all over in fear.

In the Qin family, Qin Changqing’s prestige was absolute.

Moreover, these people rarely had the chance to see Qin Changqing, only getting a glimpse of him during the annual family banquet. But they all admired Qin Changqing immensely; after all, there was no second person in the entire Yinxu Prefecture who dared to confront the Danqing Pavilion. Admiration and fear.

That was the feeling of the Qin family’s younger generation towards Qin Changqing.

“Husband.” Su Xiaoyue looked at Qin Changqing.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“It’s not hard work; it’s my deficiency in discipline… Husband, Qin Song has been busy with the Qin family’s affairs and has neglected the upbringing of his children. He…”

“I know.”

Qin Changqing nodded.

He knew that despite Su Xiaoyue’s harsh words just now, she was actually trying to protect Qin Song and his two children.

After all, the rules of the Qin family have always been in place, and no one has ever dared to defy them. Now that her two grandsons have committed offenses, Qin Changqing has to punish them severely as a warning to others.

“Qin Song, stand up.” Qin Changqing said. Qin Song stood up and respectfully said, “Father.”

“How are those girls?”

“Father, I’ve already asked a famous doctor to have a look at them. There’s no serious harm.”

“What about their family?”

Qin Song looked back and saw the young man kneeling on the left and gritted his teeth, “This unfilial son was too heavy-handed, killing one of them.”

Sigh.

Qin Changqing sighed in his heart.

He knew that with the Qin family becoming stronger and growing larger, problems like this were bound to arise.

With good conditions but no restraint, growing up in luxury and being indulged since childhood, their hands full of money and power, the bottom line of morality becomes blurred.

The Qin family has only 200 people.What would happen if there were two thousand or twenty thousand people in the future?

Family rules are mentioned and enforced every day, but without feeling the pain inflicted by punishment, it would always seem distant and unreal.

There would always be people who took the rules lightly, thinking that minor matters were of no importance. But if left unchecked, their courage would grow, their hearts would become wicked, and sooner or later, they would commit severe errors.

Qin Changqing beckoned.

The housekeeper approached and respectfully said, “Master.”

“Take them both out to the courtyard, and have two servants give them a severe beating.”

“Father…” Qin Song wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Xiaoyue’s gaze.

The housekeeper hesitated, “Master, how many times should they be beaten?”

“Until they truly remember the lesson.”

The housekeeper didn’t quite understand, but he still carried out Qin Changqing’s orders.

“My apologies, young masters.” He gestured for several people to come over and took the two away. In no time, anguished cries could be heard from outside the mansion.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Qin Changqing looked around and said, “How many times have I mentioned the rules of the Qin family? How many times have you all heard? The Qin family can be powerful and assertive, but we must have bottom lines and moral principles. Does having strength entitle us to oppress the weak and wantonly plunder others’ lives? Who gave you the right?”

“If your heart is not upright, your actions will be dishonorable, and your words will be indecent. Today, it’s them; what about tomorrow? Some of you compared to these two, how do you fare? Ask yourselves, would you make the same mistakes?”

“With improper conduct, one’s character will deteriorate. The Qin family will eventually leave Yinxu Prefecture and Dongchi County. How can you set an example for the younger generations like this?”

“Come on, go and see for yourselves. A reminder will do you good.”

After Qin Changqing finished speaking, he led the way out of the courtyard.

The Qin family members exchanged glances, then followed along.

Over two hundred people eventually gathered outside the mansion. The housekeeper brought a stool for Qin Changqing to sit on as he watched the servants strike with their wooden sticks.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Each strike was terrifying.

Qin Song averted his eyes, and Jin Rut s eyes turned red with heartache. However, no one dared to speak. They both knew that they had a significant responsibility for the mistakes the two had made.

Many passersby stopped to watch.

“What’s going on? Those two people…wait a minute! Aren’t they Qin Xiao and

Young Master Qin Changle? Why were they being beaten like that?”

“I don’t know. Look! Immortal Qin is watching them!”

“Shush! Don’t speak. You don’t know, do you? It’s actually like this…blah blah blah, do you understand now?”

“So that’s the reason. But the Qin family’s discipline is indeed strict. In other cultivating families, killing a mortal barely counts as anything.” “Sigh- Who’s to say? In this world, human lives are worthless.” “Is the Qin family doing this on purpose, to make a show of it?” “Hah! With the Qin family’s influence, do they need to put on an act?” Opinions on the Qin family’s actions varied among the onlookers.

Some thought it was pretentious and purposefully attention-seeking.

Others believed it was positive, gaining both power and popularity.

Many thought it was entirely pointless — what was the big deal if a few ordinary people died? How many people die every day in the world of cultivation? One trick from a great power, and hundreds or thousands of lives could vanish in an instant.

Many cultivators possessed a sense of morality, but not many.

After all, they looked at the world differently than ordinary people – to them, cultivators were like immortal beings.

However, the opinions of these people did not concern Qin Changqing. He only wanted to find some peace of mind.

He bullied others too, but only evildoers. He retaliated when he was mistreated, operating on a strict moral code. He could be assertive, but there were always lines he would not cross. Once someone crossed a certain line, it became challenging to return to the path of righteousness.

Perhaps that was what it meant not to commit evil deeds, even if they seemed insignificant.

As he drank tea and watched the beatings at the door, more and more people gathered around. Unable to bear the sight, Qin Song and Jin Ru rushed over, knelt down, and pleaded for mercy.

But Oin Changaing did not order a halt.

He couldn’t bear it in his heart either, as these two were his own grandchildren, connected by blood. However, if he let this incident pass, how could he face those who had died? He still had personal biases – others had lost their lives, and he was only letting his ungrateful grandchildren suffer a little.

At the same time, he wanted to warn the rest of the Qin family..
