Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2126: 570: Storm Approaching, Even the Fiercest Woman Fears a Persistent Man! (part 2)

As she spoke, her mind drifted to the Sect Leader’s recent words regarding the Absolute Sword True Monarch’s intention to enlist the Great Dream City Lord’s aid.

However, both she and Chu Qingyi were fully aware that the Great Dream City Lord was none other than Lu Changsheng.

With Lu Changsheng currently away on a quest for a Nascent Soul opportunity, how could he possibly lend assistance?

...

Half a day later, a jade sedan gracefully alighted outside Bi Lake Mountain.

Xiao Xiyue lifted the sedan’s silken curtain, her gaze sweeping over the landscape of Bi Lake Mountain. A peculiar sense of both familiarity and strangeness washed over her, leaving her expression momentarily dazed.

When she had departed for her mission in Yue Country, the Spirit Vein of Bi Lake Mountain was in the cusp of advancing to the Third Rank.

Now, the primary peak, Bi Yun Peak, had successfully ascended to the Third Rank, radiating a significantly more majestic and imposing aura.

Furthermore, with Bi Yun Peak’s advancement, the connected Bi Shui Lake, Lingcui Cliff, Bailian Peak, and Xuanfu Peak had all experienced a corresponding elevation under the meticulous cultivation of the Lu Family.

It could be said that Bi Lake Mountain had undergone a complete metamorphosis, now exuding the distinguished presence of a Core Formation Noble Family.

In prior years, despite boasting two Nascent Soul Immortals in Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, the Family Spirit Land had only attained Second Rank status. This inherently lacked the dignified air befitting a Great Clan.

After all, a Great Clan required not only Nascent Soul Immortals but also the possession of a Third-tier Spiritual Land to truly establish its standing.

Only then could it sufficiently support the clan’s enduring legacy and consistently nurture Nascent Soul Cultivators!

As Lu Changsheng’s legitimate Dao Companion and one of the esteemed Ladies of the Lu Family, Xiao Xiyue inherently possessed a pass token, negating the need for formal reporting upon her arrival at Bi Lake Mountain.

Yet, given the significant matters she needed to discuss on this occasion, she still activated the token in her hand, signaling the stationed disciples to convey her arrival.

Following a cascade of notifications, the news of Xiao Xiyue’s arrival reached Lu Miaoge, the Matriarch overseeing Bi Lake Mountain. She promptly came forth to greet her esteemed guest.

"Xi Yue, you have returned."

Lu Miaoge was well aware of Xiao Xiyue’s mission to Yue Country.

Upon noticing the jade sedan accompanying Xiao Xiyue, a subtle hint of surprise flickered within Lu Miaoge’s clear, water-like eyes.

"Let us converse within,"

Xiao Xiyue, accompanied by Lu Miaoge, guided the jade sedan towards Bi Yun Peak. From within, she then beckoned Chu Qingyi and Lu Shouzheng to disembark.

"Qingyi True Master?"

While Lu Miaoge might not have been intimately familiar with Chu Qingyi, she certainly recognized the esteemed Qingyi True Master of the Qingyun Sect, the respected Master of the Enforcement Hall.

However, her immediate attention was captured by the young child held within Chu Qingyi’s embrace.

Observing the contours of the child’s facial features, she discerned a faint, almost ethereal resemblance to her own husband.

Could it possibly be?

Despite Lu Miaoge’s long-standing comprehension of her husband’s unconventional temperament, witnessing the esteemed Qingyi True Master—a figure of considerable status and Xiao Xiyue’s senior martial sister—escorting a young son to Bi Lake Mountain left her utterly bewildered and taken aback.

Moreover, judging by the child’s apparent age of two or three years, her husband had neglected to mention anything of this sort beforehand.

"Shouzheng, this is your Aunt Miaoge."

Xiao Xiyue addressed the young child before turning to Lu Miaoge, inquiring whether Lu Changsheng had yet returned.

"Changsheng made a brief return about four and a half years ago and has not been seen since. What is transpiring?"

Lu Miaoge responded swiftly, harboring the notion that Xiao Xiyue had brought Qingyi True Master to seek an explanation.

Truth be told, she herself felt her husband’s handling of the matter had been less than ideal.

At the very least, a prior heads-up and a clear explanation would have been appropriate.

However, in the subsequent moment, a jolt coursed through her heart as a realization dawned: her husband had indeed returned approximately four and a half years ago, and coincidentally, this child appeared to be around two or three years old.

Could it be that this very trip back had resulted in Qingyi True Master’s pregnancy?

"One matter pertains to Shouzheng; the other concerns Great Dream Immortal City."

Without preamble, Xiao Xiyue directly articulated the purpose behind her visit.

"Changsheng passed through the Great Dream Marsh en route to Starry Sky Sea. He made a swift return once previously and has since journeyed there again..."

Lu Miaoge interjected, possessing an even more intimate understanding than the two women of Lu Changsheng’s recent preoccupations.

Lu Changsheng had initially ventured to Starry Sky Sea approximately eight years prior.

Upon his mid-journey return, his stay had been exceedingly brief.

After concluding her statement, she then inquired of Xiao Xiyue about the progress of the Liangyue War and whether she had encountered her offspring, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.

"Lu Qingshan is faring exceptionally well, demonstrating remarkable brilliance. During this war, he has truly distinguished himself and is now recognized as a Nascent Soul Seed, receiving the dedicated cultivation efforts of the Five Great Immortal Sects of Yue Country; Primordial True Monarch holds him in high regard."

Xiao Xiyue conveyed.

Despite limited interactions with Lu Qingshan, during her mission within Yue Country, she had indeed heard tales of his renowned Seven Extremes Sword.

A crucial detail, however, remained unspoken: Lu Qingshan's blade was perhaps too formidable. After he successively defeated several Core Formation Cultivators from Liang Country, he fell victim to an ambush by a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator. Seriously wounded, he was currently under the protection of Jinyang Sect, lying low to recover.

"The Liangyue War has reached a stalemate. It appears Liang Country has formed some kind of alliance with Yuan Country, and Yuan Country might soon intervene. This prompts Heavenly Sword Sect to dispatch emissaries to Great Dream Immortal City, seeking their aid. If Changsheng isn't present..."

Xiao Xiyue continued, elaborating to Lu Miaoge on the intricacies of the Liangyue War and the prevailing conditions among the various nations.

Should Heavenly Sword Sect's appeal to Great Dream Immortal City go unanswered, or if Lu Changsheng refused to intervene, Heavenly Sword Sect might harbor significant resentment towards Great Dream Immortal City.

Xiao Xiyue, being a Nascent Soul Immortal of Qingyun Sect with years of dealings with Heavenly Sword Sect, understood the inherent arrogance and overbearing nature lurking within those Sword Cultivators.

It was true that the policies enacted by Xuanjian True Monarch regarding Jiang Country were notably lenient, even preserving the esteemed status of the Four Great Immortal Sects within Jiang Country.

Nevertheless, it was common knowledge that Jiang Country acknowledged only one true Overlord: Heavenly Sword Sect!

"I shall inform Senior Red Lotus of this predicament later and ascertain her intended course of action."

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Lu Miaoge resolved to immediately dispatch a message to Hong Lian, who was stationed in Great Dream Immortal City.

Regrettably, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror was unavailable at this moment, preventing direct communication with Great Dream Immortal City.

"Understood."

Xiao Xiyue, acknowledging Hong Lian's significant standing, gave a slight nod before inquiring about Lu Miaoge's daughter, Lu Wangshu.

"Wangshu is currently in Great Dream Immortal City. She has dedicated herself to diligent cultivation these past years, achieving Foundation Establishment Peak and commencing preparations for Core Formation. If she were aware of your return, her joy would undoubtedly be immeasurable..."
