I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 249 - 233 You dont want the child to be
Chapter 249: Chapter 233 You don’t want the child to be fatherless from birth, right?
Chapter 249 -233 You don’t want the child to be fatherless from birth, right?
‘The Lock Dragon Well,’ just from the name, it was evident that this place was extraordinary. Perhaps the ancestors of the Dragon Tiger Sect also knew the singularity of this site, but due to the restraint of the Dragon Scales, they were unable to utilize the Dragon Qi.
That’s why they sealed it off.
What followed was just the step-by-step execution of the plan. Xu Lingtian’s daughter, Xu Caiyue, was very fond of a disciple who had caught her fancy—his name was Lin Feng,
the cliché name of a protagonist.
His cultivation was mediocre; he had not broken through to the Gang Condensation Realm to this day, while Xu Lingtian’s daughter, with his support, had broken through early. At first glance, the two seemed mismatched.
However, Lin Feng was very handsome and suave, a true beauty. And with his smoother talk, he kept Xu Caiyue completely charmed.
The plan started simply enough, with a homemade Treasure Map that Lin Feng happened to get his hands on. The map was well-drawn, depicting the legacy of a Core Realm expert.
Without much thought, Lin Feng walked right into the trap.
He was successfully lured out of the Dragon Tiger Sect and captured at the predetermined location.
They hadn’t even needed to resort to harsh torture; the boy immediately confessed everything he knew, including the nature of his relationship with Xu Caiyue.
Under his sweet talk, the two of them had already engaged in intimate relations early on.
Moreover, he revealed a vital piece of information—Xu Caiyue was carrying his child!
He hoped that Yue Shan, who was well-disguised, and the others could set any conditions they liked, as long as he could return safely.
Their plan was to wait until the child was born and then force Xu Lingtian to grudgingly accept the situation. Besides, it was Xu Caiyue who came up with the plan,
and upon hearing this news, Yue Shan immediately became restless.
This was indeed excellent news delivered right to their doorstep!
They had some concerns about whether Xu Caiyue might betray the Sect and her father because of Lin Feng, but after hearing this news from Lin Feng, they could put their worries to rest.
Putting aside whether Xu Caiyue would compromise for the sake of the child, just the fact that her heart was entirely set on Lin Feng showed what kind of person she was.
A foolish woman whose mind was completely clouded by her infatuation with love.
As long as he could enter the Lock Dragon Well, Chen Yuan’s goal would be achieved. He wasn’t particularly concerned about being exposed; with his strength, even a forceful entry would probably see him escape successfully.
The Dragon Tiger Sect could not stop him.
Xu Lingtian was mostly within Nanling Prefecture City, overseeing the big affairs of the Dragon Tiger Sect consuming the interests of the Changle Gang, and he usually wasn’t free to leave. The only one inside the Dragon Tiger Sect who might still be alive was the former Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect.
Realizing this, Chen Yuan immediately ordered Yue Shan to accelerate the plan’s progress and contact Xu Caiyue using the secret signal left by Lin Feng.
There was no need to worry about Lin Feng purposely betraying them; with their brief interaction, Yue Shan, Yan Qing, Zhao Beishan, and others saw right through Lin Feng’s true colors.
In a nutshell, he was spineless, all talk and no action, essentially worthless.
He used the resources Xu Caiyue gave him to cultivate while scheming to become Xu Lingtian’s chosen son-in-law.
Of course, to be safe, Yue Shan and the others still made him swallow Poison Pill; without the antidote, he wouldn’t live past three days…
Even with an antidote he wouldn’t survive; the poison would have deeply penetrated his body within three days, and an antidote would be ineffective—besides, they had no intention of providing one.
Such a man was better off dead, less trouble that way.
However, in order to convince Xu Caiyue and get her to agree, they still had to show her the tragic state of Lin Feng, to evoke her ‘love’ for him.

Afterward, things went smoothly. Upon receiving Lin Feng’s letter, Xu Caiyue, worried for his safety, hardly thought before she hurried to the address stated in the letter,
arriving at a predetermined house located some distance from Nanling Prefecture City. Dressed in a green robe and wearing a Jade hairpin, Xu Caiyue, looking somewhat anxious, pushed open the door of the house.
Yan Qing, who was guarding the entrance, exchanged glances with another, compared the image in their hands silently, and nodded to each other, then said to Xu Caiyue:
“Follow me.”
“Where’s Brother Feng? I want to see Brother Feng,”
Xu Caiyue inhaled deeply and said with a heavy voice.
“You’ll see him after you follow me.”
After that, Yan Qing stopped paying attention to her and led Xu Caiyue straight to a tightly shut room, speaking in a low voice:
“My lord, she’s here.”
To avoid Xu Caiyue detecting their true identities, they naturally had to disguise themselves.
Otherwise, the mention of ‘my lord’ would immediately reveal their affiliation to the court to anyone not utterly foolish.
“Let her in.”
A faint, cold voice came from within the room.
“Go on in,”
Yan Qing gestured expressionlessly towards the door.
Xu Caiyue nodded and, with a heart full of trepidation, pushed open the door, immediately seeing the man in black sitting at the head of the room, looking indifferent; his features were decent.
But Xu Caiyue was not in the mood to evaluate such things; she directly asked:
“Where is Brother Feng? Who are you people?”
Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened slightly on Xu Caiyue—slender, dressed in a green dress, with a treasured sword at her waist, and her quite attractive face full of urgency.
Compared to Shen Yanshu, though, she was quite ordinary and fell far behind.
“Miss Xu asked two questions; how should I respond?” Chen Yuan’s voice was calm and unhurried, his face covered by the Human Skin Mask he had obtained from Miao Renfeng.
“Where is Brother Feng right now?”
Xu Caiyue asked again.
“Rest assured, he is still alive.”
“Who are you people?”
“You’ve asked me a question, to be fair, you should answer one of mine,” Chen Yuan extended a finger, his expression a mix of a smile and not.
“What do you want to ask?” Xu Caiyue was somewhat nervous.
“How many months pregnant is the child?” Chen Yuan asked with a smile.
But this sentence struck Xu Caiyue like a bolt of lightning, freezing her on the spot. Only she and Lin Feng knew about her pregnancy.
“You… What nonsense are you talking about?”
Xu Caiyue immediately retorted.
“No point in denying it, I heard about it from your brother Feng’s own mouth.”
“He… he…” Xu Caiyue’s eyes showed some shock.
“Initially, the kid was quite tight-lipped and unwilling to disclose any information related to you. But there are many ways to torture someone in this world, even secret methods that can bewilder the divine soul…”
Of course, what Chen Yuan said was a lie, Lin Feng was a pushover, but in order to deepen Xu Caiyue’s feelings towards him, he had to override his conscience with lies.
As expected, after Chen Yuan’s words, tears began to form in Xu Caiyue’s eyes, evidently very touched.
Perhaps, in her mind, she had already concocted scenarios where Lin Feng would rather die than speak, but it was due to these people’s divine soul secret methods that he inadvertently gave her away.
Women are mostly emotional, after all.
“So tell me, what must be done for you to release brother Feng?” Suppressing various emotions in her heart, Xu Caiyue looked at Chen Yuan with serious eyes, a fleeting hint of hatred flashing by.
If she wasn’t worried about Feng’s safety, she would have long since told her father to bring the Dragon Tiger Sect’s experts and suppress these people.
“What can you bring to me?” Chen Yuan said, unhurried.
“Gold and silver treasures, cultivation elixirs, cultivation techniques, I can give you all of these, as long as you let Feng go. Since you’ve captured brother Feng, you must also be aware of my identity,” Xu Caiyue said, puffing up her chest with a hint of pride and an implied threat.
As the only daughter of the helmsman of one of Nanling Prefecture’s Five Great Forces, Xu Caiyue enjoyed privileges others couldn’t imagine. Everyone in the Dragon Tiger Sect had to accommodate her.
This had fostered her haughty disposition.
“Gold and silver are mundane, I have no shortage of cultivation elixirs, and I don’t care for the Dragon Tiger Sect’s cultivation techniques,” Chen Yuan shook his head, causing Xu Caiyue to feel somewhat thwarted:
“Then what do you want?”
“What I want is simple, take me to the Lock Dragon Well in the back mountains of the Dragon Tiger Sect.”
Chen Yuan stood up, revealing his intention.
Upon hearing the words ‘Lock Dragon Well,’ Xu Caiyue’s pupils instantly constricted:
“How do you know about the Lock Dragon Well?”
“You don’t need to know that. You just have to agree to my request.”
“I can agree to ordinary conditions, but not this one. The Lock Dragon Well is a forbidden area of the Dragon Tiger Sect, my father issued a strict order long ago; without his token, no one can enter, otherwise…”
Xu Caiyue shook her head, she still understood the gravity of certain matters.
Although she didn’t know what was inside the Lock Dragon Well, its importance to her father and the old sect leader signified that it was not a place for just anyone to enter lightly.
As a child, she mischievously stole Xu Lingtian’s waist token to try and enter, but after being caught, even her usually indulgent Xu Lingtian punished her heavily. Since then,
she dared not venture there anymore.
“Without Xu Lingtian’s token you naturally can’t enter, but I believe Miss Xu, you certainly have ways, right?” Chen Yuan moved closer to Xu Caiyue with a light step.
His voice faintly echoing in her ear.
“Sigh…” Xu Caiyue let out a sigh:
“What do you want to do in the Lock Dragon Well?”
Chen Yuan: “Nothing much, just want to see what’s inside.”
“I can tell you now that there’s nothing inside, father once disclosed this fact,” Xu Caiyue spoke softly, trying to persuade Chen Yuan to drop the notion.
But how could that be possible? Chen Yuan’s lips slightly curled up:
“Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I just want to take a look inside, and afterwards, you will be able to be with your brother Feng forever, living together in happiness.”
Xu Caiyue shook her head repeatedly:
“No, it’s not possible, I can’t let you…”
“Hehe…” Chen Yuan chuckled softly, his hand slowly resting on Xu Caiyue’s belly, and said:
“Miss Xu, you wouldn’t want the child to be born without a father, would you?”
After all this talking, the natural course was to step by step make Xu Caiyue follow his plan, first move her emotions, then let her know that ordinary things didn’t appeal to him.
After that, it was time for her to agree to his demands!
