Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Changsheng and Yun Wanshang return to Great Dream Immortal City via a Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale. Lu Changsheng entrusts his Great Luo Sword Embryo to Yun Wanshang for their son. Upon arrival, Lu Changsheng reveals he now owns Great Dream Immortal City. He is then greeted by his wife, Hong Lian, who expresses her joy and concern for his safe return.
"This is Caiyun."Lu Changsheng initially saw no issue with bringing Yun Wanshang to the City Lord Mansion.However, witnessing Hong Lian’s gaze filled with deep affection and concern, a pang of guilt struck him, making him feel his actions were somewhat improper for a husband.Nevertheless, since she was already here, introductions were in order.He then introduced her to Yun Wanshang: "Caiyun, this is Hong Lian.""Could it be... Caiyun True Immortal from the Qingyun Sect?"Even though Hong Lian had been in seclusion for a significant period and paid little attention to worldly affairs, she had a general understanding of Jiang Country over the years.She was aware that Xiao Xiyue’s master was known as Caiyun True Immortal."I have paid my respects to Caiyun True Monarch."Though Hong Lian had not yet ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, her presence radiated a refined and otherworldly aura, unabated in the face of Yun Wanshang, a Nascent Soul True Monarch."Daoist Hong Lian."Yun Wanshang offered a gentle smile, sensing the hidden depths of the Hong Lian before her.Without resorting to her Nascent Soul Divine Consciousness or Spiritual Eye Technique, she found it difficult to readily ascertain the other’s cultivation status.A strong suspicion formed that Hong Lian might indeed be a Nascent Soul True Monarch.Contemplating that Lu Changsheng possessed not only several Fourth Rank Spirit Pets but also a Nascent Soul Dao Companion, she was momentarily speechless.Previously, she had presumed that Lu Changsheng’s continued growth might incite the jealousy of the Heavenly Sword Sect.However, given the present circumstances, the Heavenly Sword Sect ought to be relieved that Lu Changsheng lacked excessive ambition; otherwise, the Jiang Country could have easily changed hands."Wasn’t my husband seeking opportunities to reach Nascent Soul? How did he come across Caiyun True Monarch? Could it be that he was swept away by a large vessel amidst black mist, encountering Daoist Caiyun?"While Hong Lian was unfamiliar with Yun Wanshang’s personality, she understood that typically, female cultivators found it challenging to accept sharing a husband with their master.The Caiyun True Monarch before her appeared to have only recently achieved Nascent Soul, with her realm still somewhat unstable, yet she returned alongside her husband, suggesting a prior acquaintance and that her affections were likely won by him after attaining Nascent Soul.This thought caused her to pause, inwardly questioning if Lu Changsheng had refrained from advancing to Nascent Soul to bestow that opportunity upon Yun Wanshang."Hmm..."Lu Changsheng provided a concise explanation of his ordeal in the Land of Eternal Night."Sealing Demon, merit, and fortune?"Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s account of the Sealing Demon Land, Hong Lian’s elegant eyes reflected a thoughtful expression, recognizing the extraordinary nature of this place.Although neither woman exhibited any overt signs of contention at that moment, Lu Changsheng’s years of experience dictated that this was not the time for leisurely conversation!He immediately turned his serious gaze to Hong Lian and inquired, "Hong Lian, have there been any significant events in Immortal City and Bi Lake Mountain in recent years?""Indeed, quite a few."Hong Lian’s expression grew somewhat somber as she gave a slight nod.Despite the communication challenges with Great Dream Immortal City lacking the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, their ties had remained strong throughout the intervening years.She was aware that Bi Lake Mountain had been conscripted by the Jiang Country, and not only Lu Miaoge but also many disciples from the Lu Family had been dispatched to the Yue Country battlefield."My knowledge of these matters is limited; perhaps it would be best to summon Zi Xiao to discuss them with you in detail."While Hong Lian stayed informed about affairs concerning Great Dream Immortal City, the primary management of these matters fell to Ling Zixiao.Lu Changsheng nodded, acknowledging that Ling Zixiao was occupied with the affairs of Immortal City.However, she held the Immortal City Array Plate and should have detected his return.Yet, before Ling Zixiao could arrive, his son, Lu Lingxiao, appeared."Greetings, Father, Master, and this esteemed senior."Lu Lingxiao showed a flicker of surprise upon observing the scene, then swiftly clasped his hands in a respectful salute."Xiao’er."Lu Changsheng regarded his son, clad in a robe of black and red adorned with golden embroidery, emanating an noble aura. He gave a slight nod and stepped forward to assess his son’s cultivation progress over the years.Immortal Golden Core.A robust and exceptional foundation.His cultivation level had not seen significant increase, merely reaching the peak of the first layer.Yet, Lu Changsheng understood that his son had dedicated the majority of his time to practicing Divine Secret Skills and the path of Formations.Otherwise, his advancements in Formations would not have been so rapid, allowing him to reach Third Rank."Xiao’er?"
Upon seeing Lu Lingxiao, Yun Wanshang paused, her attention caught by the character "Xiao" in his name, and she observed him with renewed scrutiny.
Setting aside his Core Formation realm, his very presence exuded an aura of distinctiveness.
"Xiao’er, tell me about your experiences over the years," Lu Changsheng requested, sitting beside his son. He then smiled and introduced him to Yun Wanshang, stating, "This is my son, Lingxiao. Xiao’er, this is your Auntie Caiyun."
"..."
Yun Wanshang felt a peculiar sense of strangeness at Lu Changsheng’s casual introduction.
Nevertheless, maintaining her composure as an elder, she gave a slight nod and produced a magical treasure from her Storage Ring as a gift.
Her personal wealth certainly could not match that of Lu Changsheng.
However, as a Core Formation True Man from the Qingyun Sect, having journeyed extensively, falling into the Land of Eternal Night, and later acquiring numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures through Qingyun City, she possessed considerable financial strength.
"Thank you, Auntie Caiyun," Lu Lingxiao replied.
Lu Lingxiao had not dedicated his entire focus solely to cultivation throughout the years.
He had gained invaluable knowledge of city administration from his mother, Ling Zixiao, equipping him with a profound understanding of the significant powers within Jiang Country.
The name "Caiyun" immediately brought to his mind Caiyun True Immortal of the Qingyun Sect, who was known to be the master of his sister Lu Wangshu’s mother.
Consequently, he wondered if the Auntie Caiyun before him was indeed the master of Auntie Xi Yue.
This thought left even him, as the son, momentarily speechless regarding his father’s romantic entanglements.
Despite this, he maintained an air of outward ignorance and proceeded to recount that after achieving the Core Formation breakthrough, he had primarily spent his time honing Divine Skills under Master Hong Lian and studying Formations with Mother Ling Zixiao.
"Father, the Liangyue War is currently in a state of deadlock. The Heavenly Sword Sect is pressuring our Great Dream Immortal City to continue providing support. Now that I have achieved minor success in Divine Skills and made some progress in Formations, I am prepared to represent our Immortal City and head to Yue Country."
