Chu Qingyi returns after fourteen years and reunites with her grown son, Lu Shouzheng. She also meets Lu Yunxiao, her master's young son, who displays remarkable talent in swordsmanship. Lu Changsheng arrives, facing the complicated situation of his son Lu Yunxiao being present with Chu Qingyi, whom he fears may not know the full truth about Lu Yunxiao's parentage.

Now, even his master had a husband and children.

Lu Changsheng felt guilty towards Chu Qingyi and his son Lu Shouzheng, unwilling to upset them.

"Alas." Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly, knowing such matters could not be concealed.

He could only make psychological preparations for Chu Qingyi first, and then confess.

As for Yun Wanshang’s side...

As long as they kept it secret, like Xiao Xiyue, and maintained the tacit understanding, Yun Wanshang’s dignity could be preserved.

"Luckily, I was prepared."

Lu Changsheng flipped his hand, and a Fourth Rank "Incarnation Talisman" appeared.

He had previously given the [Three Treasures Huaxiang Pearl] to his son Lu Quanzhen, considering the Substitute Puppet would not be created quickly, Lu Changsheng crafted two Incarnation Talismans for emergencies.

As the Talisman activated, the Incarnation Talisman infused with his blood slowly transformed into the image of Changsheng True Master.

"Not bad."

Lu Changsheng looked at the incarnation before him and nodded slightly.

Although it could only use a Nascent Soul level technique, and could not perfectly manifest his unparalleled appearance and demeanor.

The overall effect was still very realistic, capable of fooling most Core Formation cultivators.

Then, Lu Changsheng’s true body transformed into a heroic man dressed in a Five-Colored Qilin Robe, with a Qilin Pattern on his forehead.

This was the Qilin Sword Lord persona he had prepared in his early years.

However, this guise belonged to Yun Wanshang’s self-delusion, so it had never been used.

Considering Yun Wanshang introduced Lu Yunxiao, likely mentioning his father Qilin Sword Lord, Lu Changsheng decided to use this guise.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng and the incarnation arrived atop Caiyun Peak.

As for the mana fluctuations caused by activating the Talisman, one person splitting into two, no one in the entire Qingyun Sect noticed.

With his current cultivation and Divine Sense, unless there was a Nascent Soul True Lord, or a Great Master fully integrating with the operating Great Formation of Qingyun Sect, it was impossible to detect anything.

A moment later, Chu Qingyi looked up suddenly, seeing her son and Lu Yunxiao.

"Yunxiao."

"Qingyi, Shouzheng."

Lu Changsheng simultaneously called out to the three in front.

"Eh?" Lu Yunxiao looked at the two people ahead, having some memory, but not much.

"Lu Daoist..." Chu Qingyi looked at the Talisman incarnation, then at Lu Changsheng in the Five-Colored Qilin Robe, confused about who this person was and why he called Yunxiao?

Could this person be the Qilin Sword Lord mentioned by the master, Yunxiao’s father?

But why would he come to Qingyun Sect with Lu Daoist...

Chu Qingyi paused, not thinking further.

After all, she was not foolish.

She had been acquainted with Lu Changsheng for so long, knowing about his various identities and means.

Previously at the Liang Country frontline, the attitude and situation of her master and junior sister.

And knowing the matter of Yunxiao, upon returning and seeing Yunxiao, how could she not have some suspicions?

But Yun Wanshang, in her heart, was an untouchable existence, as long as the master did not say, she would not randomly speculate.

"Greetings, Father."

Although the mother returned from the frontline, Lu Shouzheng’s attitude and feeling towards Lu Changsheng as a father had not improved at all.

Even after knowing some details of the Liang Yue War from Qingyun Sect and his mother’s words, his impression of Lu Changsheng worsened.

His mother had faced immense danger on the battlefield all these years, yet his father was not by her side.

This journey to the Liang Yue battlefield was to accompany Lu Miaoge instead.

Even though he had a good impression of Lu Miaoge, who once cared for him as a senior, and his mother Chu Qingyi also said his father had matters to attend to.

It did not change his impression and feelings towards Lu Changsheng as a father.

"Hmm." Lu Changsheng was used to this attitude from his son and had prepared himself mentally.

After all, over a hundred years, with hundreds of children, how could they all remain fond and close to him?

Most children either respected, revered, or feared, were in awe, or unfamiliar with, or looked up to him.

"This is the Qilin Sword Lord, here to see Yunxiao."

Lu Changsheng introduced to Chu Qingyi, naturally playing his dual role.

Yet Chu Qingyi, with Sword Heart Clarity, was very familiar with Lu Changsheng.

Although she could not see through the disguise of Lu Changsheng and the Incarnation Talisman, she vaguely sensed that the Qilin Sword Lord in front was most likely Lu Changsheng.

"Greetings, Sword Lord..." Chu Qingyi lightly bit her lip, her mind tangled like a mess, truly hard to continue deceiving herself.

Yunxiao is the child of the master and Lu Daoist.

Does the master know the Qilin Sword Lord is Lu Changsheng?

At this moment, Chu Qingyi’s mind was in turmoil.

Lu Changsheng possessed the Divine Soul of the Nascent Soul Late Stage, his spiritual sense was keen, and he instantly detected Chu Qingyi’s emotions, sighing inwardly.

He knew that such little tricks could deceive others but were hard to conceal from those close to him.

"Qingyi, I and the Sword Lord have come with matters to discuss with you, may I borrow a moment?"

Lu Changsheng recognized that Chu Qingyi had already figured him out, thus he ceased beating around the bush and chose to be open with her.

"Mm." Chu Qingyi, seeing her son and Lu Yunxiao nearby, steadied her emotions and gently nodded.

She let Lu Shouzheng and Lu Yunxiao talk first, then followed Lu Changsheng and the Qilin Sword Lord into the side hall.

...

"Qingyi."

Lu Changsheng directly lifted the disguise of the Qilin Sword Lord, held Chu Qingyi’s jade hand, and sighed with a guilty expression.

Chu Qingyi’s delicate body stiffened, her mind felt like mush.

Previously, her emotions towards Lu Changsheng were extremely conflicted.

It was only through the initiative of Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue that she gradually accepted this relationship.

But how could her master be involved with Lu Daoist...

Even though she was gentle, considerate, and understanding in romantic matters, she couldn’t help but feel angry at this moment.

Thinking that the affair between her master and Lu Changsheng must have been initiated by Lu Changsheng.

Deliberately deceiving the master with the identity of Qilin Sword Lord.

After all, if it weren’t for Lu Changsheng’s continuous efforts before, she might have cut off the emotional entanglement between the two.

"Qingyi, listen to me explain..."

Lu Changsheng led Chu Qingyi to sit down beside him and began to recount his emotional experience with Yun Wanshang.

From being poisoned with seductive poison, enduring seven days and nights.

To the Sealing Demon Land, where they spent day and night together, then successfully sealed the demon, and the Heavenly Dao Infant Condensing Opportunity emerged.

"Love arose inexplicably, profound and persistent. With my master, it truly was fate playing tricks on us..."

"My master’s temperament is somewhat similar to yours. After we left the Sealing Demon Land, my master faced these feelings, conflicted and hesitant, but when the Heavenly Dao Infant Condensing Opportunity appeared, the master feared the tribulation might threaten her life. I could only continue expressing my heartfelt intentions to persuade the master."

"Facing the breakthrough to Nascent Soul, at the edge of life and death, the master accepted these feelings. But afterward, thinking of you and Xi Yue, she set three terms with me, forbidding me to use the identity of Lu Changsheng and to use the Qilin Sword Lord instead."

"But seeing you in such a state, Qingyi, I truly feel uncomfortable and don’t want to deceive you."

Lu Changsheng held Chu Qingyi’s hands, speaking earnestly.

Regarding Chu Qingyi, Lu Ancestor indeed used some tricks, small schemes, intentionally provoking the other.

But with Yun Wanshang, Lu Changsheng felt it was a mutual pursuit.

Even perceiving himself as the passive party.

Chu Qingyi stood in a daze and bewilderment, with her mind still like a mess.

After all, Lu Changsheng’s emotional experience with her master was simply too strange.

A hundred years ago, when Lu Changsheng was still an Energy Refining Cultivator, he had already entangled with her master.

If counted, her junior sister was actually the latecomer...

"You can verify this matter with your master, Qingyi. I, Lu Changsheng, have not spoken a single falsehood!"

Lu Changsheng spoke passionately.

The version he conveyed to Chu Qingyi even included many praises for Yun Wanshang.

Such as she used him for cultivation, and his candid words to Xiao Xiyue at that time.

But knowing Yun Wanshang held a very lofty image in Chu Qingyi’s heart, Lu Changsheng actively helped Yun Wanshang to make amends.

Claiming that Spirit-nurturing Energy was crucial to her Nascent Soul opportunity, which was why Yun Wanshang acted this way.

Despite Chu Qingyi’s reluctance to believe, many elements were traceable.

For instance, the master’s closed-door cultivation time, the breakthrough to Core Formation Late Stage, and beyond everyone’s expectations, breaking through to Nascent Soul, her earlier attitude.

Yet, emotionally, Chu Qingyi still found it difficult to accept such matters.

After all, even with her junior sister Xiao Xiyue, she had conflicted for a long time and couldn’t accept a master akin to a mother.

How would she meet the master afterward, how to face the master?

"Lu Daoist, I want some peace..."

Chu Qingyi spoke softly, wishing to calm her emotions quietly.

"Qingyi, I miss you so much, let me stay with you." Lu Changsheng embraced the somewhat bewildered beauty, speaking gently and ardently.

With Lu Changsheng nearby, how could Chu Qingyi find peace?

"Qingyi, our wedding should be finalized now. When the master returns, we’ll hold the wedding ceremony, the grand event."

A moment later, Lu Changsheng spoke, wanting to settle the matter early for Chu Qingyi, also for Lu Shouzheng.

Their wedding had long been decided.

But due to the Liang Yue War and many trivial matters, it had been delayed until now.
