I am Just a Wild God, Why are You Kneeling Before the Heavenly Dao?

61: This wave is coming at me.Qian Shi fell to his knees before Liu Chunsheng with a ’thud’, tears streaming down his face.

”Brother Chunsheng, I know in my heart that I’m the one who implicated everyone, but Ruyue and the child are innocent! I beg you, your mind is sharp and you have many ideas. As long as you can save them, I’ll do anything, even if it means being a beast of burden.”

Liu Chunsheng’s brows were tightly furrowed, his heart caught in a dilemma.

On one hand, the Wang family was numerous and powerful; openly opposing them might bring disaster upon the entire village.

But on the other hand, Qian Shi and Lian Ruyue truly loved each other and even had a child; he truly couldn’t bear to stand by and do nothing.

”How exactly did you and Lian Ruyue get together?”

Liu Chunsheng gritted his teeth, glaring at Qian Shi with a look of exasperation.

”Everyone used to envy Lian Ruyue for being able to become a concubine for a wealthy family, thinking she would live a good life in the future. But now that the village has the protection of Lord Chuping, life has become much more stable. How could you be so foolish as to be completely controlled by a woman who was a concubine?”

Qian Shi buried his head low, wishing he could just disappear into the ground.

”Brother Chunsheng, at first, I just felt sorry for her and wanted to help if I could. And then, one thing led to another...”

His voice grew softer and softer. This matter was already disgraceful, and now that it was exposed, he felt even more ashamed.

”Alright, you, you!”

”I just feel like something isn’t quite right about this whole situation.”

Liu Chunsheng helped Qian Shi up, his gaze firm.

”Don’t worry for now, let me think.”

He paced back and forth in the room, constantly pondering countermeasures in his mind. Under the operation of the Faith Cultivation Art, his thoughts became increasingly clear.

”You stay here for now, don’t show your face. I’ll go talk to the village chief. He’s experienced and knowledgeable; perhaps he’ll have a solution.”

After saying this, Liu Chunsheng hurried towards Village Chief Li Fu’s house.

Liu Chunsheng rushed to Li Fu’s house and recounted the entire story in detail.

Li Fu couldn’t sit still after hearing it.

He took a few puffs of his dry tobacco, his brows furrowed into a ’Sichuan’ character.

”This is a tricky situation. The Wang family is numerous and powerful, and they have Martial Artists backing them. If we confront them head-on, it’ll be like an egg hitting a rock.”

Liu Chunsheng anxiously said, ”But we can’t just watch them die, can we?”

Li Fu tapped his tobacco pipe and said after a moment of contemplation.

”Now, the only strategy is to delay. Didn’t you say that Lord Chuping’s dream indicated that it’s not suitable to shed blood before the new temple is built? We’ll use that as an excuse to drag this out as much as possible. Once the new temple is completed, we might be able to use Lord Chuping’s prestige to suppress the Wang family. Also, these next few days, you need to find a way to get the rest of the villagers to stand with us. With a united heart, we’ll have a chance of winning.”

Liu Chunsheng nodded in agreement. After discussing some details, he and Li Fu hurried to the ancestral hall together.

As soon as they arrived at the ancestral hall, the sound of arguing came from inside.

”Did you hear? That business with Qian Shi and Lian Ruyue, it’s spread all over our village. Tsk, it’s truly scandalous!”

”Exactly! A married concubine dares to seduce the men in our village, doesn’t she feel ashamed? The rules of our village, passed down for generations, are all here; how can we tolerate such a thing?”

”I thought that child Qian Shi wasn’t the type to do outrageous things before, how could he...”

”You can know a person’s face but not their heart, Grandma Zhang!”

”Maybe they’ve been secretly together for a long time, and now that they’ve been caught, it’s just come to light.”

”Actually, I heard Lian Ruyue is quite pitiful. Being a concubine, her life is worse than a pig’s or a dog’s. Qian Shi occasionally helped her out; maybe he didn’t have any bad intentions.”

”Keep your voice down, don’t let those old fogies up front hear you, or they’ll start gossiping about you again. But I also feel like they’re having a really hard time. This matter, sigh, it’s hard to say.”

”...”

With a ’creak’, Liu Chunsheng pushed the door open, and the scene immediately fell silent.

Liu Chunsheng stood on the steps in front of the ancestral hall and said loudly,
