Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2124: 569: Yun Wanshang: Such a Demon Exists in This World (Double - )

More to the point, based on his knowledge, this Blood Luo True Man was already three hundred and eighty years old. If he still couldn't ascend to the Nascent Soul realm and his physical body began to decay, his opportunity would be lost forever. In his estimation, this presented an excellent chance for the Shura Sect. Currently, the war between Liang and Yuan was at a stalemate. Yuan Country was looking to exploit this situation and seize territory. If Liang Country could produce another Nascent Soul True Lord, it would significantly alter the dynamics of the conflict. At such a juncture, with Blood Luo True Man attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Beast God Mountain and the Barebody Sect would not only be pleased but would likely refrain from obstructing him, possibly even lending their support. Nevertheless, the very thought of Blood Luo True Man achieving Nascent Soul cultivation caused the Qingyun Sect Leader to heave a sigh, realizing the war situation for Yue Country would become even more precarious. Jiang Country and Yue Country were allies. Should Yue Country suffer defeat in the war, his Qingyun Sect, as one of the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country, would inevitably be impacted.

He turned his gaze to Xiao Xiyue, who was adorned in a moon-white gown. Her cheeks were sacred and composed, resembling a Fairy of Forgetfulness. He addressed her, "Nephew Xiyue, your return is most timely. As Yuan Country and Yue Country have forged an alliance, Absolute Sword True Monarch is contemplating an invitation for the Great Dream City Lord and his wife to render assistance."

"When you encounter Changsheng True Master later, you may inquire about this matter," the Qingyun Sect Leader instructed Xiao Xiyue.

Although Bi Lake Mountain was not a great distance from Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng, holding the esteemed position of Vice City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, was not an individual one could casually visit for discussions on such minor affairs. Therefore, having Xiao Xiyue undertake the inquiry was the most prudent course of action.

"Understood." Xiao Xiyue's eyes were tranquil, like still water. Her exceptionally beautiful face, reminiscent of snow blanketing flowering trees, was enveloped in a dreamlike, holy radiance. In her earlier years, during frequent interactions with Lu Changsheng and his daughter, Lu Wangshu, she could maintain a state of inner peace. However, over the past decade, while providing support in Yue Country, she had continuously practiced the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique to maintain her optimal condition, resulting in her current detached demeanor.

"What has befallen Nephew Xiyue?" Observing Xiao Xiyue's complete lack of emotional response, the Qingyun Sect Leader could not help but send a telepathic inquiry to Bai Yun True Man. In the past, while Xiao Xiyue possessed a cool disposition, she had never exhibited such profound detachment. She now imparted to him, her Sect Leader and Martial Uncle, a sense of being an insurmountable distance away.

"It is likely due to Nephew Xiyue's cultivation technique..." Bai Yun True Man, possessing only a general understanding, offered this explanation.

"Nephew Xiyue, you should all return and rest first." Upon hearing this, the Qingyun Sect Leader ceased his inquiries, gesturing for Xiao Xiyue and the others to depart, and then engaged Bai Yun True Man in conversation to discuss the expedition to Yue Country. Despite the continuous exchange of messages between their respective sides, certain matters could only be clarified through direct discussion.

...

"Has Master not yet returned?" Xiao Xiyue arrived back at Caiyun Peak and looked towards Caiyun Hall atop the mountain. A subtle ripple disturbed the placid surface of her serene eyes. Aside from Lu Changsheng and his daughter Lu Wangshu, only her Master, Yun Wanshang, could evoke even the slightest emotional response within her. Even Senior Sister Chu Qingyi had not reached such a profound level in her heart.

Upon returning to her own Mingyue Residence, she reflected on how Senior Sister Chu Qingyi had been gravely injured previously and had returned to the sect earlier than anticipated. Therefore, upon her own return, both out of affection and obligation, she felt compelled to visit her senior sister.

"Greetings, Master Xiyue." The attendant disciples at the Immortal Ceremony Hall saw Xiao Xiyue and immediately bowed in respect. "Is my senior sister present?" Xiao Xiyue, clad in her moon-white attire with a simple sash cinching her slender waist, stood with elegant height, akin to a perfectly sculpted jade statue, radiating natural and flawless beauty.

"The Hall Master is currently in closed-door cultivation. We request Master Xiyue to wait a moment; this disciple will promptly deliver your message." Although Chu Qingyi had been in secluded cultivation throughout these years and had not received visitors, Master Xiyue was the junior sister of Qingyi True Master, and thus they dared not refuse her presence.

...

Within the rear courtyard of the Immortal Ceremony Hall, the scenery had transformed. What was once a stark and simple space had, over time, been gradually adorned with numerous green-jade bamboo stalks, and flowers now bloomed in profusion. In the crystal-clear pond, schools of multicolored goldfish glided, their scales reflecting the kaleidoscopic stones at the bottom, refracting a dazzling display of light.

Dressed in a flowing blue and white palace gown, Chu Qingyi observed a toddler carved from jade practicing with a wooden sword before her.

"Hm!?"

With a graceful flick of her wrist, Chu Qingyi summoned a Token radiating a crystalline luminescence.

Upon receiving the message—that Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue had arrived for a visit—Chu Qingyi's heart skipped a beat.

Over the years, she had attempted numerous times to reach Lu Changsheng, hoping to introduce him to their son, Lu Shouzheng.

However, each attempt to channel her mana was futile, like a stone sinking into the abyss, indicating Lu Changsheng was far beyond the borders of Jiang Country.

She never anticipated that Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue would return before Lu Changsheng himself.

If there was anyone she dreaded facing the most, it was undoubtedly Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue.

After all, she had no idea how to confront her junior sister...

"Mother, I'm practicing swordplay."

As Chu Qingyi pondered the Jade Talisman in her hand, a soft voice called out.

Her son, Lu Shouzheng, holding a wooden sword, addressed her with a childlike lisp, his fair face illuminated by a brilliant smile.

"We will practice swordplay together later, Mother. For now, I will take you to meet your Aunt."

Chu Qingyi looked at her son, knelt before him, took his small, chubby hand, and spoke gently.

While she felt uncertain about facing her junior sister,

she now had a son, a secret that couldn't remain hidden forever. It was best to be direct and honest.

The thought of claiming the child was found or was an adopted disciple was something Chu Qingyi couldn't bring herself to do; she couldn't bear to deceive her own flesh and blood.

"Aunt?"

The toddler tilted his head, looking at his mother with a puzzled expression, before being scooped into Chu Qingyi's arms as she headed towards the main hall.
