Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2195: 592:

Observing Xiao Xiyue's distant demeanor, Yun Wanshang found herself momentarily speechless, her thoughts drifting to her own complicated situation with Lu Changsheng.

As a master, she was carrying the child of that scoundrel, Lu Changsheng! How could she possibly face Xiao Xiyue!

"Master, there is a matter I wish to request of you."

At this juncture, Xiao Xiyue closely regarded Yun Wanshang, inclining her head as she spoke.

"What is it?"

Noticing her disciple's uncharacteristic gravity, Yun Wanshang's brow furrowed slightly as she inquired.

"My Dao companion, Lu Changsheng, departed many years ago and has yet to return. I would be most grateful if you could find someone to Divine a calculation regarding his present circumstances and whereabouts."

Despite having witnessed numerous displays of Lu Changsheng's capabilities and being aware of his dual identities as the Yangming True Master and the Dream City Master, Xiao Xiyue couldn't help but feel a pang of concern.

He had been absent for over a decade, and worry gnawed at her.

Previously, she had sought out a Third Rank Divination Master, utilizing Lu Wangshu's blood to divine Lu Changsheng's fate. Even with the potent medium of a father-daughter bloodline, no clear results emerged; the heavenly secrets were declared too chaotic to discern.

Now that her master had returned, possessing a Nascent Soul cultivation, Xiao Xiyue immediately hoped she could assist in foretelling her beloved's fortune.

"..."

Yun Wanshang's heart plummeted with guilt upon hearing this, a wave of annoyance washing over her.

That infuriating scoundrel had been gone so long, causing Xi Yue such distress.

Yet, recalling Lu Changsheng's presence by her side throughout these years… she was overcome by an even deeper sense of remorse.

Nevertheless, as a seasoned cultivator who had faced countless trials, Yun Wanshang swiftly composed herself, maintaining the dignified aura befitting a master, and stated with placid serenity:

"There is no need for concern. Lu Changsheng is safe and sound, and his return is imminent."

Xiao Xiyue started, her eyes, like the resplendent Nine Heavens Bright Moon, reflecting a flicker of bewilderment.

Lu Changsheng is safe?

He will return soon?

How could Master possibly know this?

Could it be that Master has also mastered the profound Divination Art?

"I encountered Lu Changsheng some time ago, which is how I am aware of this."

Perceiving her disciple's surprised and questioning gaze, Yun Wanshang continued calmly, determined to uphold her masterly composure.

"Master, you met Changsheng!?"

Xiao Xiyue exclaimed, a mixture of astonishment and elation surging through her.

The Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, an art purported to be impervious to emotional or external influences, was suddenly disturbed, like a pebble dropped into a tranquil lake, sending ripples across her Heart Lake.

She was not only joyfully surprised that Lu Changsheng was safe and would soon return, but also astounded that her master had crossed paths with him.

Having been Lu Changsheng's Dao companion for over a century, she, much like Ling Zixiao, had observed a recurring pattern.

Whenever Lu Changsheng ventured out, he seemed to attract romantic entanglements.

For instance, her Senior Sister became emotionally involved with Lu Changsheng within the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Now, with her master, a veritable Nascent Soul True Lord, returning and happening to meet Lu Changsheng on her journey, could it be that the two of them…?

Even Xiao Xiyue was taken aback by this audacious speculation and promptly dismissed the thought.

Master has already ascended to the realm of Nascent Soul True Lord; how could she possibly be involved with Changsheng…?

Yet, the thought, once conceived, stubbornly lingered in her mind.

"Indeed, so you may put your mind at ease."

Observing that mentioning Lu Changsheng had somewhat thawed Xiao Xiyue's initial coldness, Yun Wanshang felt a subtle pang of bitterness.

Truly, a lover's presence can overshadow even the most devoted disciple's regard for their master.

In earlier times, even with her reserved nature, Xiao Xiyue would display warmth towards her master, indicating a deep bond.

However, fearing further inquiries from Xiao Xiyue about Lu Changsheng and their encounter, she swiftly steered the conversation elsewhere. "Your master requires rest for now. Should you have any cultivation-related queries or challenges, you may approach me later."

Though Xiao Xiyue couldn't fully grasp her master's underlying emotions, she sensed an unspoken tension and clasped her hands in gratitude, "Thank you, Master."

"Could Master truly have been involved with Changsheng…"

After Yun Wanshang retreated into the palace, Xiao Xiyue returned to Mingyue Residence. Her gaze drifted towards Caiyun Hall, a swirl of complex emotions swirling within her.

She had long suspected a connection between Lu Changsheng and her master, having heard that he had once saved her. This had fueled her suspicions about their relationship.

But now, at this critical juncture, she found herself uncertain of how to proceed.

After all, Senior Sister Chu Qingyi's situation was one matter.

But this involved her own master.

From the moment she joined the Qingyun Sect and Yun Wanshang took her under her wing, the elder had showered her with unparalleled kindness, acting as both a maternal figure and a mentor…

After numerous hours had passed, Xiao Xiyue managed to quell the turmoil within her heart. She resolved to await Lu Changsheng's return to Bi Lake Mountain and seek an explanation from him regarding the entire affair. Additionally, she planned to inform him about the situation concerning Lu Shouzheng. Initially, she had contemplated various approaches to notify her Master about the relationship between Lu Changsheng and Senior Sister. However, a sudden surge of emotion convinced her that this particular matter was one Lu Changsheng must personally address with Master.

"Changsheng, how could he..."

Even the usually serene Fairy of the Moon Palace found her emotions stirred when contemplating her husband, her heart roiling with unexpected feelings. After a considerable period, Xiao Xiyue departed from the Qingyun Sect, setting her course for Bi Lake Mountain. She intended to visit her daughter, Lu Wangshu, and her nephew, Lu Shouzheng, while waiting for Lu Changsheng's arrival.

Meanwhile, within Caiyun Hall, Yun Wanshang placed her right hand upon her abdomen, her own mind a tempest of thoughts. After a long interval, she managed to calm her spirit and began the process of slowly refining the Great Luo Sword Embryo into her being, nurturing the life growing within her womb. Throughout this intricate procedure, she observed as faint, ethereal, and incredibly complex patterns, reminiscent of an immortal's essence, gradually materialized upon the ancient and unadorned sword embryo. Despite her own advancement to the Nascent Soul stage, the profound rules and patterns etched into the sword embryo continued to impart an immeasurably deep sensation upon her.

...

Great Dream Immortal City.

While en route to Mengxi Island, Lu Changsheng was suddenly overcome by an involuntary shiver. He immediately employed his finger-counting divination technique to ascertain if any impending danger threatened him. Yet, the resulting divinatory symbols revealed no sign of peril or ill omen. Bewilderment clouded Lu Changsheng's expression as he pondered the inexplicable sensation.
