Becoming an immortal or a demon？

Wo City, North Creek Villa Villa Area. Dozens of luxurious villas were hidden amongst the green hills and water. In stark contrast to this glimpse of opulence was Li Muchen, who stood outside the gate of the villa. He wore a rough linen coat, a pair of gray cloth shoes under his feet, and his long hair was pulled up and pinned with a wooden hairpin, making him a poor Taoist priest. The security guards of the mountain villa looked at him vigilantly like thieves. Li Muchen had come to withdraw from the marriage. The marriage contract was set by his grandfather and the Lin family's old man eighteen years ago, he wasn't sure of the exact reason, he was only two years old at that time, and the Lin family's young lady hadn't even been born yet. Li Muchen didn't know how his grandfather had fooled the Lin family's old man back then. At that time, their grandparents and grandchildren were dependent on each other and were still living off of picking up rags. When he was seven years old, his grandfather, who had never left Wo City, suddenly said he wanted to go on a trip. When he left, it was early fall and the leaves were full of red. When he came back, it was a snowy month. By the time he arrived home, Grandpa was only breathing his last. With a smile on his wrinkled face, he died in Li Muchen's tender arms. Later, he was taken to Kunlun Mountain's Tendu Peak by the passing Kunlun Immortal Yun Yangzi. More than ten years had passed, and now he had long been transformed, only one step away from stepping into the innate, towards the way of longevity. Master said that if he entered the innate at this age, he would be the first person in 500 years. Then he would go down the mountain to experience and go to the red dust to find the chance to break through the innate. The master also said that immortals live in the mountains, not because the mountains are good. Rather, it is the red dust that pins the soul. Back in Wo City, the first thing Li Muchen did was to come to the Lin family to withdraw from the marriage. Although the Lin family is rich and powerful, but the Hall of Heavenly Capital disciples, ten thousand immortals under the door, can break the eyebrow, willing to be a luxurious son-in-law? Not to mention that such a thing as a child marriage is too feudal and old-fashioned. Good years, by a piece of paper marriage contract binding, waiting for a person who has never met, this is not fair to both sides. So Li Muchen decided to return the marriage. Retirement, it is also considered to be the end of karma, from now on, the Taoist heart is firm, maybe this breakthrough. Of course, Li Muchen was also worried, what if the person refused to withdraw? After all, let people wait for eighteen years. Eighteen years ago you did not refuse, eighteen years have passed, their daughter has grown up, you suddenly said you want to withdraw from the marriage. It seems a bit unreasonable. The marriage contract has the address of the Lin family, but it only says Beixi Villa, not the specific building. Li Muchen went up to the security guard and asked, "Brother, is there any owner named Lin here?" "Surname Lin?" The security guard looked him up and down a few times, "Why are you looking for Lin?" "Oh, I'm looking for a relative." Li Muchen said. "Relative?" The security guard's eyes revealed a hint of contempt, he had seen too many poor people come here to look for relatives. The young man in front of him, his clothes were tattered, his hair was awful, the Taoist priest did not look like a Taoist priest, the beggar did not look like a beggar. "All the people living here are surnamed Lin, just say which one you're looking for." The security guard's tone was teasing, as if saying, look who you know. "All surnamed Lin?" Li Muchen was not surprised, could it be that they were all Lin family houses? I had heard that the Lin family was rich, but I didn't expect it to be this rich. "I'm looking for Lin Shangyi." "Go go go!" The security guard suddenly got fierce and made an appearance of repelling. "That's all you've heard of this name, do you know who he is? Is the Lin family's old man someone you can just meet?" Li Muchen was unafraid and said calmly, "My name is Li Muchen, you'll know if you give Lin Shangyi a call." The security guard saw his calm and relaxed appearance, some uncertainty, if it is really a relative of Master Lin, he can not afford to offend. He said "wait" and turned to the security room to make a call. Li Muchen looked at the villa group in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it's really a good place, it's one of the best feng shui places in Wo City. Regardless of the location, or the staggered layout, it seems that there is a high level person who has instructed. Huh, what is that? Li Muchen raised his head and saw that above the villa group, there was a piece of dark cloud that was as light as a thin veil, which could not be dispersed. It was a clear sky at this time, and this was clearly not a normal cloud. Although it was so faint that regular people wouldn't think it was abnormal, but where it escaped Li Muchen's eyes. Dark clouds covered the roof! This family seems to have been counted ah. Should I tell them? While Li Muchen was thinking about it, the gate opened and out came a middle-aged man in his fifties. As soon as the security guard saw the visitor, he nodded and ran over. "Butler Luo," pointing at Li Muchen, "That's him." Butler Luo looked Li Muchen up and down a few times, with seven points of doubt and three points of contempt in his eyes. "Your name is Li Muchen?" "Yes." "Come with me." Butler Luo said nothing more and led Li Muchen inside. The security guard looked at their backs and shook his head, muttering, "What a good fortune, how come I don't have such a rich relative." Shuttling through the garden of the Lin family villa, Li Muchen was even more certain that the Lin family was being targeted. The feng shui pattern here hadn't changed, but the earth's qi had been disturbed. The Lin family's qi must have been affected, and things were probably not going well for a while. He looked up at the dark cloud in the sky. Butler Luo brought him into one of the villas, which was richly decorated, and on the sofa in the living room sat a graceful woman, who was well-maintained and couldn't be seen to be much older. Butler Luo said, "Madam, I've brought the man", and respectfully stood aside. The woman sized up Li Muchen's eyes, and her eyes were a bit complicated. She picked up the tea cup on the side and gently took a sip on her mouth, as if she wanted to utilize the aroma of the tea to remove the bad luck brought by this shabby teenager in front of her. "You are Li Muchen?" The woman asked indifferently. "Yes." "From the mountains?" "Yes." Li Muchen answered two "yeses" in a row, and when he saw that the woman still had no intention of inviting him to sit down, he walked to the side and sat down on the antique-colored wooden chair next to him and sat down with a big grin. He had come to withdraw from the marriage, not to propose. Butler Luo's eyes glazed over, that chair was special, even he never dared to sit in it, he was about to voice a rebuke, but was stopped by the woman. "Forget it, children who just came from the mountains, don't know the rules." The woman revealed a smile, only the color of contempt in her eyes increased. "I'm looking for Elder Lin Shangyi Lin." Li Muchen didn't want to talk nonsense, quickly talk to the old master so he could leave. "The old master is not something you can see just because you want to see him, what is it, tell me. You can call me Mrs. Lin." The woman made her identity known. "Speak to you?" Li Muchen was in a bit of a bind, originally the one he wanted to see was Elder Lin, but suddenly it was changed to Mrs. Lin. This lady was definitely not Lin Shangyi's wife by her age, that would be Lin Shangyi's daughter-in-law. Before the marriage contract was annulled, it meant that the person sitting opposite was his own mother-in-law-to-be. His difficult look fell in Mrs. Lin's eyes. Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "You also feel embarrassed, don't you?" Li Muchen nodded honestly, "It's a bit." Mrs. Lin smiled even more triumphantly, "You also feel embarrassed to open this mouth and feel it's excessive, right?" "Uh-huh." Li Muchen was a bit confused, "You know what I'm here for?" "Of course I know." Mrs. Lin sighed softly, "Li Muchen, this name, eighteen years ago was stuck in my heart, like a thorn, how could I forget." Li Muchen thought to himself that this is troublesome, it seems that people attach great importance to this marriage. "Then, what, I ....." Li Muchen tried to phrase it, wanting to defuse the embarrassment that might come next. "There's no need to rush." Mrs. Lin interrupted him, "You just came from the mountains, I'll tell you about our Lin family first." "The Lin family has been passed down for more than a hundred years, regardless of wealth or status, it's considered one of the largest families in Wo City. Let's just say this chair you're sitting on, a Ming Dynasty pearwood carved dragon pattern official hat chair, a few years ago Guardian Auction House auctioned off a pair of them for twenty-three million dollars." Mrs. Lin paused and purposely glanced at Li Muchen, but did not see any shocked expression from Li Muchen's face, slightly disappointed. "This chair is specially prepared for the Lin Family's head of the family, and for so many years, you are the first outsider to sit in this chair."" She purposely said the word "outsider" a bit heavier to remind Li Muchen of his identity. "Do you understand what I mean?" Li Muchen nodded, "Understood, your Lin family is very rich." Butler Luo standing behind Mrs. Lin almost laughed out loud, this guy couldn't be a fool, right? Mrs. Lin was slightly stunned, she didn't think Li Muchen was a fool, it was more likely that he was pretending to be a fool. Lin family son-in-law, how many gentlemen want to go to the door to climb, a moment to pretend to be stupid so what is the harm. That's what a smart person is. "Then let me make it clearer." Mrs. Lin raised her voice, and her voice became much harsher. "Families like our Lin family, all generations of marriages have emphasized the importance of having the right family. For example, I, whose family name is Yan, come from Meicheng, and our Yan family is one of the top families in Meicheng. When the door is right for the family, the two families can take care of each other in business, and the couple will have a common language and pursuit." "What madam means is ...." Li Muchen heard something wrong. "What I mean is that the Lin family, it's impossible for them to marry their daughter to a poor man with no status." Mrs. Lin's words were decisive and unquestionable, "Not even if it's a family member." Li Muchen suddenly felt funny. He himself had come to withdraw from the marriage. By the looks of it, it seemed like he was being returned by others.
