Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2209: 595: Xiao Xiyue: So You Really Have Something Going On with Master! (4)

"Yes, Father."

Lu Ping’an had seen Lu Quanzhen in the hall previously, but not with careful observation, and he responded with a nod.

"How is Shouzheng?"

Lu Changsheng was aware that Lu Ping’an had primarily looked after Lu Shouzheng over the years.

A moment of hesitation passed before Lu Ping’an stated, "Father, Lu Shouzheng's disposition appears quite steadfast. His inherent nature is not poor; it's merely a consequence of your and True Master Qingyi's absence."

Having journeyed from Qingzhu Mountain to Ruyi County City in his earlier years, and then returning to Qingzhu Mountain, he had gained some insight into such matters.

Especially now, with the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family expanding, there were frequently Immortal Seedlings dispatched to Bi Lake Mountain.

These disciples of the Lu family required time to adapt when they first arrived at Bi Lake Mountain as youngsters.

"Hmm."

Shortly thereafter, he extended his Divine Sense and arrived at the Library alone, observing Lu Shouzheng engrossed in reading.

Upon noticing his arrival, Lu Shouzheng set aside his book, rose, and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Greetings, Father."

"Hmm."

Lu Changsheng offered a light nod, not intending to mold his son through mere fleeting encounters.

The father and son interacted like two unfamiliar individuals, maintaining politeness in their exchanges.

After a considerable pause, Lu Changsheng directly transmitted the initial volume of the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture to him, eager to gauge his comprehension.

Generally, possessing a Heavenly Spiritual Root implied that one's comprehension would not be significantly lacking.

However, upon receiving the cultivation technique, Lu Shouzheng did not commence cultivation immediately, adhering strictly to his established routine—designating specific times for reading, eating, and cultivating—unwilling to deviate.

Even Lu Changsheng found himself unable to refrain from expressing admiration upon witnessing his son's self-discipline and meticulous planning at such a tender age.

Irrespective of other factors, this character alone promised a bright future.

"Very well, should you encounter any inquiries during your cultivation, feel free to send me a message."

Lu Changsheng presented a Communication Talisman to his son, a faint smile on his face, finding this son rather intriguing before departing.

"Father..."

Lu Shouzheng observed Lu Changsheng's retreating figure, then gazed at the Communication Talisman in his hand, his expression serene, thinking this father was quite interesting and unlike his preconceptions.

In his formative years, his father occupied a grand image in his mind.

But after arriving at Bi Lake Mountain and learning his father presided over it, he felt a disconnect from the person his mother had described.

He even felt it was unjust for his mother, knowing Lu Changsheng had numerous wives, concubines, and children.

Nevertheless, his mother had bestowed upon him the name "Shouzheng," harboring the hope that he would cultivate himself, adhere to the righteous Dao, and thus naturally remain obedient to his parents.

He had also consistently upheld his mother's teachings: "Integrity is paramount, and a sincere heart is essential."

...

Following his meeting with Lu Shouzheng, Lu Changsheng spent time with his consorts, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen.

As for Xiao Xiyue.

The latter possessed a more reserved demeanor and would naturally not share his bed.

Lu Changsheng had no intention of forcing such intimacy either.

Some days later, Lu Changsheng made his way to Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, with the intention of seeing Xiao Xiyue.

However, at that precise moment, a forgotten matter resurfaced in his mind, leading him to a secluded chamber.

This chamber was expansive and unadorned, containing only a solitary crystal coffin.

It housed Bai Ling's dormant crystal coffin.

Since her repatriation, Bai Ling typically stayed close to Lu Changsheng, engaged in playful activities, or rested within the coffin.

However, Bai Ling had informed Lu Changsheng that during the fourth year of his absence, she had inexplicably fallen into a deep slumber lasting over a year.

He had presumed something catastrophic had befallen Bai Ling and proceeded to investigate.

Yet, Bai Ling had simply stated her profound weariness and her desire for sleep.

In this manner, Bai Ling had remained dormant until the present time.

Unless the coffin was opened and Bai Ling was directly addressed, she would almost never awaken of her own accord.

Lu Changsheng observed the crystal coffin before him quietly, detecting no overt anomalies.

The sole peculiarity was that, in earlier times, even his mere approach would prompt Bai Ling to reveal herself.

After a period of scrutiny directed at the coffin, Lu Changsheng released a gentle exhalation, departed the secluded chamber, and resolved to revisit for further examination later.

"Xiyue."

Upon reaching Xiao Xiyue’s abode, Lu Changsheng, without affording her the opportunity for extensive discourse, moved forward with profound affection and enfolded the fairy's jade-like form in his embrace.

Throughout these preceding days, Xiao Xiyue had been anticipating Lu Changsheng's return; her wait had been so prolonged that even this typically imperturbable Guanghan Fairy had begun to experience a measure of anxiety and vexation.

Understanding this sentiment, Lu Changsheng decided to first nurture their emotional connection before addressing other matters.

Subsequently!

Subsequently!

Subsequently!

Faced with Lu Changsheng, Fairy Xiyue, whose demeanor was usually as cold and sacred as the Nine Heavens Bright Moon, now lay limply on the bed, as soft as silk.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was flushed with an intoxicating redness, softly breathing out fragrant breaths. Her jade-like body seemed dreamlike, with moist rosy hues that defied description.

Those long, straight, beautiful legs trembled slightly for reasons unknown, and her delicate feet curled gently, captivating beyond measure.

"How do you plan to handle the situation with elder sister and Shouzheng?"

After a considerable interval, Xiao Xiyue, having somewhat recovered from the lingering sensations, spoke to Lu Changsheng.

Her beautiful eyes held hints of resentment and anger.

Yet, a residual blush remained on her face, and her voice was charming, like sweet banter directed at Lu Changsheng, indescribably beautiful.

"Xiyue, you should already be aware of elder sister’s circumstances. She encountered the Flood Dragon Saint Son on the front lines and was seriously injured. Naturally, I had to offer assistance. Who could have foreseen she would become pregnant..."

Lu Changsheng had anticipated his wife's inquiry and immediately responded with a wry smile.

Observing Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes fixed upon him, he continued, "Now that this has occurred, I intend to formally propose to Qingyun Sect once elder sister returns."

However, upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue couldn't help but playfully pinch Lu Changsheng's waist, feeling as though this man possessed an incredible thickness of skin.

Despite Lu Changsheng's Fourth Rank Physique, such a pinch barely caused him pain. Nevertheless, he feigned a plea for mercy, indicating that what had transpired was now a reality and he could only strive to make amends.

"Hmph."

Xiao Xiyue gazed at him with a hint of grievance, snorted softly, and then inquired, "Aside from elder sister, is there anything else you need to disclose to me?"

Facing Xiao Xiyue's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Changsheng felt a pang of guilt. He believed honesty was the best course, yet he found himself at a loss on how to begin.

Knowing that Yun Wanshang was already pregnant, Xiao Xiyue was likely aware of the situation. Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth and stated, "Actually, between Caiyun True Immortal and myself, it was also a twist of fate."

"Oh wow, so you truly are involved with Master!"

Xiao Xiyue exclaimed in a tender voice upon hearing this, pinching Lu Changsheng fiercely.

Despite her deep affection for Lu Changsheng, she found herself unable to fully control her emotions at this moment.

The matter concerning elder sister could potentially be excused.

But now, even with Master...

For a moment, Xiao Xiyue was rendered speechless, merely staring intently at Lu Changsheng, awaiting his explanation!

Lu Changsheng was taken aback by her words.

Does Xiyue not already know?

Yet, regarding this particular matter, he had no intention of withholding information from Xiao Xiyue any longer. He softly confessed, "This is quite a long story."

"Then take your time; we have an abundance of it!"

Xiao Xiyue coldly snorted.

"???"

Lu Changsheng genuinely longed to ask where the gentle and caring Xiyue, who was solely devoted to him, had vanished to.

However, confronted by Xiao Xiyue's stern gaze, he dared not act cheekily. Taking her delicate hand, he sighed, "Xiyue, you should recall when I first married into Qingzhu Mountain, and subsequently managed a shop under Qingyun Sect in Nine Dragons Square..."

"Hmm."

Xiao Xiyue nodded gently, having a general understanding of Lu Changsheng's early experiences.

"The year I ventured to Nine Dragons Square, and upon my return to Qingzhu Mountain..."

Lu Changsheng placed Xiao Xiyue's jade hand upon his chest, his eyes meeting hers as his mind drifted back over a century.

Setting aside the exceptional memory conferred by his Nascent Soul level Taiyi Divine Soul, this particular incident remained indelibly etched in Lu Changsheng's mind, utterly unforgettable.

"On my journey back, I encountered two Robber Cultivators... Although I managed to subdue them with Talismans, my mount, the Iron Feather Eagle, became startled, compelling me to seek refuge overnight in the mountains..."

"Late that night, I suddenly heard a terrifying cacophony, akin to mountains collapsing. I concealed myself within a cave, too afraid to venture out. After an extended period of waiting, the commotion subsided, and a woman, adorned in vibrant and opulent attire, suddenly materialized before me..."

Lu Changsheng recounted the events slowly.
