In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 077 Qian Kun's Doubts

"..."

Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi were instantly petrified on the spot.

A...maid?

Lin Qiye looked down at Bai Muxi, who was gentle and considerate, taking care of everything for him, and then thought of the whole cow and whole lamb she prepared for him every day...

For a moment, he actually felt that what the other person said... seemed to make a tiny bit of sense?

Of course, the thought only flashed through my mind.

He looked at the overly familiar fat man with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, unsure how to explain.

Bai Muxi's cheeks flushed bright red instantly, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her small ears. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground. She instinctively hid behind Lin Qiye and gently tugged at his clothes.

"Um... she's my wife," Lin Qiye cleared his throat and corrected.

"ha?!"

The fat man's smile froze instantly, his small eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

He looked Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi up and down carefully again, his expression quickly changing from initial envy to a complex mix of shock, horror, and awe.

wife?!

At a place like the 298th floor, it's basically just freshmen left; there's unlikely to be any returning students. Even the worst returning students would probably be around the 200th floor.

He couldn't think of any other possibility for someone to get married at that age, except for political marriages between powerful families!

So it turns out... it wasn't because of strong connections!

It was so hard that I couldn't even imagine it!

This guy, is he some kind of reclusive, wealthy heir, here to experience life at school?!

Upon realizing this, the fat man's expression instantly underwent a complete 180-degree change, his previous overly friendly demeanor turning into humility.

He said apologetically, "Oh, it's you, sister-in-law! My apologies! I didn't recognize you. Please forgive me, sister-in-law!"

Then, with a beaming smile, he turned to Lin Qiye and extended his hand enthusiastically: "Hello, boss! My name is Qian Kun. I hope you'll take care of me in the future! If you need me to run any errands, just let me know!"

Seeing Qian Kun's attitude change so quickly, they had no idea what he was up to.

Lin Qiye shook hands with him: "Hello, my name is Lin Qiye."

Qian Kun quickly pulled up his personal terminal and enthusiastically handed over his electronic business card: "Brother Lin, let's add each other as friends, and keep in touch!"

Lin Qiye added him as a friend, and the three of them headed for the elevator together.

As Qian Kun walked, he enthusiastically introduced himself: "Brother Lin, my family runs a Jianbaoli nutritional supplement business, and we're the general agent in Tianmen Province. If you and your wife ever need any nutritional supplements in the future, just contact me, and I'll definitely give you the cost price! I'm not in it for the money; I just want to make friends with you, Brother Lin. I'll be relying on your help at school in the future..."

Just then, a figure stepped out of the elevator.

She was a tall girl dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit, with short, neat hair, a cold face, and an aura of icy intimidation.

She saw Lin Qiye, Bai Muxi, and Qian Kun heading towards the elevator, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes without any attempt to hide it.

She didn't say anything, but simply walked past them without looking at them.

Qian Kun glanced back at the girl's back and curled his lip in disdain.

"This is the girl next door, a local from Terra."

"You know that too?" Lin Qiye was immediately curious. They had only moved here not long ago, and this fat man had already found out about his neighbors.

Qian Kun snorted, his tone tinged with disdain: "These local bastards from Terra, they all look down on us outsiders. Look at the way she looked at us just now, like we were trash, she wished we'd stay away from her and not taint her place."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

He was no stranger to this kind of regional discrimination, which seemed unavoidable in any world and any era.

Seeing that Lin Qiye didn't seem to care, Qian Kun couldn't stop talking and snorted, "So what if they're locals from Terra? They still have to live next door to us!"

Then, Qian Kun quickly added, "But Brother Lin, you're definitely different. With your status, living on the 298th floor, you must be here incognito to experience life."

Lin Qiye was both amused and exasperated, and too lazy to explain.

The three stepped out of the elevator, and Qian Kun bid them a warm farewell: "Brother Lin, sister-in-law, I'm going to the training hall now, see you later!"

Watching Qian Kun's departing figure, Bai Muxi whispered to Lin Qiye, "Honey, this Qian Kun... he seemed a bit too enthusiastic."

Lin Qiye nodded and said softly, "This Qian Kun may indeed come from a wealthy family and be quick-witted; he's definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface. Perhaps he's just habitually looking around and building connections."

He paused, then added, "No matter what, as long as they don't have any bad intentions towards us, it's fine."

Meanwhile, Qian Kun, walking alone on the road, was also thinking rapidly.

This Lin Qiye is really strange...

Lin Qiye… his surname is Lin… that’s a common surname. Which city’s Lin family is he from…?

Getting married at such a young age is unusual; normally, only top-tier aristocratic families would engage in such political marriages to consolidate their interests.

For people from other social classes, getting married during this golden age of self-cultivation would be a huge loss, and they would never do such a thing.

However, he couldn't see any of the background that a scion of a noble family should have in Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi. Instead, they seemed more like...ordinary people?

Perhaps the other party was too low-key and deliberately concealed their identity, while I was of too low a social class to notice?

Qian Kun shook his head, no longer wanting to delve into it.

Born into a wealthy family, he was exposed to his father's teachings from a young age, which were deeply ingrained in him: never easily offend anyone you can't understand.

His family motto is: make many friends and few enemies.

It's never a bad thing to get to know someone first.

……

Soon, Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi dragged the three processed mutated cattle and sheep back to the student dormitory building.

Just as I entered the lobby, an elevator door slowly slid open and was about to close.

"quick!"

Lin Qiye quickly quickened his pace, dragging the heavy ingredients as he rushed over.

After all, if you miss one of the elevators here, you have to wait for quite a while, so it would be best to catch it immediately.

Moreover, he saw that there was only one girl standing in front of the elevator door.

The elevator stopped on the first floor, the doors opened, and the girl stepped into the elevator first.

She turned around, her cool gaze meeting Lin Qiye's.

It's Su Qingying.
