Chapter 170: Chapter 101: Lu Family Ancestor, the Great Destiny Holder! (Reset)_3
A Second Rank Puppet could never stand a chance against a Foundation Building Great Cultivator.

As for activating the Jade Pendant to call for help from the woman in the colorful skirt,

but in the presence of such a Foundation Building Great Cultivator, he didn’t know whether there would be enough time.

“Mm, the young man is quite good,”

“Since he’s a son-in-law of our Lu Family, he may treat this place as his own home.”

A faint smile appeared on the withered face of the Lu Family Ancestor.

His dry palm gently reached out and touched Lu Changsheng’s head.

This gesture left Lu Changsheng slightly stunned.

He didn’t quite understand what the Lu Family Ancestor meant.

Trying to calm himself, he pursed his lips and nodded, “Yes, ancestor.”

“The young man has always treated this place as his own home,” Lu Changsheng said respectfully.

“Hehe, that’s good,” the Lu Family Ancestor chuckled, retracting his somewhat rough hand, and then he left.

“Seeing off the ancestor!”

“Seeing off the ancestor!”

“Seeing off the ancestor!”

All those present bowed and respectfully said their farewells.

“Phew!”

Watching the Lu Family Ancestor depart, Lu Changsheng also let out a slight sigh of relief.

During these brief moments, a layer of cold sweat had seeped out on his back.

“What’s the situation with the Lu Family Ancestor, exactly?”

“Did he see through something about me?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help wondering in his heart.

He really couldn’t figure out why the Lu Family Ancestor would take notice of him.

“Changsheng, it’s all right now,”

Just then, the Fourth Elder looked at Lu Changsheng and said with a smile on his face.

Then she spoke softly, “When the family fines the Spirit Stone, grandma will pay for you.”

“It’s okay, grandma,”

Lu Changsheng, with his emotions in check, gently shook his head.

He could feel that the verdict was actually biased in his favor by the family.

In his heart, he speculated that it was very likely the Fourth Elder had informed Lu Yuanding about his promotion to high-grade Talisman Master.

“What’s owed must be taken, these Spirit Stones are nothing to grandma,”

The Fourth Elder waved her hand and spoke warmly.

“Thank you, grandma,”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t insist any further.

He understood that it was a kind gesture from her.

“Alright, it’s getting late, you’ve hurried back and been on the move all day, go home and rest early,”

“If you have any issues, just come and talk to grandma,”

The Fourth Elder, taking Lu Changsheng away from the Lu Family ancestral hall, said aloud.

“Yes, grandma,” Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and walked towards his home.

His mind was still pondering over the matter of the Lu Family Ancestor.

He wanted to know why the other party looked at him.

And whether he had seen something in him.

“Forget it, at least for now, the Lu Family Ancestor bears no malice towards me,”

Lu Changsheng thought secretly.

He didn’t dwell too much on the matter and quickly made his way home.

After all, fretting about it now would only bring more trouble to himself.

If a Foundation Building Great Cultivator truly harbored bad intentions towards him, he would really have no way out.

He couldn’t just curse the Lu Family Ancestor to death tonight with the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates, could he?

When Lu Changsheng arrived home, he immediately saw his wives and concubines waiting for him in the courtyard.

“Husband, how did it go?”

Lu Miaoyun and the other wives approached with eyes full of concern.

“It’s been resolved, there’s no more trouble,” Lu Changsheng waved his hand and shared the outcome with Lu Miaoyun.

“The fault wasn’t ours to begin with,”

“Besides, husband is now a high-grade Talisman Master, even if it were a matter of clan punishment, the family would consider husband’s position!” Lu Miaoyun said, holding Lu Changsheng’s arm.

“You’ve had a hard day, husband,”

“And congratulations on becoming a high-grade Talisman Master!”

“Yes, congratulations on becoming a high-grade Talisman Master!”

“Congratulations, husband!”

“Congratulations, husband, on taking another step on the path of cultivation!”

The other wives also spoke up to congratulate him.

“Very well, let’s have a good celebration tonight!”

Lu Changsheng also gave a grand wave and said,

“After all, becoming a top-grade Talisman Master is indeed something worth celebrating.”

However, when the wives and concubines heard Lu Changsheng’s words, they couldn’t help but blush slightly.

In a secluded courtyard deep within Qingzhu Valley, where spiritual energy converged and birds sung amidst fragrant flowers,

the Lu Family Ancestor was lying back on a recliner, resting with his eyes closed, listening to Lu Yuanding reporting on the Lu Family’s affairs.

Several Lu Family elders stood waiting to one side.

“As for the Chen Family, strike back if you have to,”

“Otherwise, everyone will think my days are numbered. We need to establish our authority; it can save a lot of trouble,”

the Lu Family Ancestor said lightly.

“Yes, Ancestor,”

Lu Yuanding immediately nodded in response.

“By the way, tell me more about that Lu Changsheng,”

the Lu Family Ancestor spoke as if something had just occurred to him.

Everyone was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Ancestor to ask about Lu Changsheng.

Lu Yuanding immediately began detailing Lu Changsheng’s situation,

and then asked the Fourth Elder to add more information.

“It seems this child is someone with great fortune and destiny,”

after hearing everything, the Lu Family Ancestor said, his eyes opening and closing languidly.

He had been in a whimsical mood today, went to the Lu Family hall because of the noise,

and when he saw Lu Changsheng, he found, to his surprise, that he was unable to see through him.

This piqued his interest, and he couldn’t help but take a few more looks,

knowing that the young man had secret chances of fortune by his side.

He grew increasingly curious about Lu Changsheng.

Now, hearing the words from Lu Yuanding and the Fourth Elder, he was almost certain that Lu Changsheng was indeed someone with great destiny.

“Someone with great destiny!”

The crowd, hearing this, looked at each other in dismay, utterly astonished.

They hadn’t expected the Lu Family Ancestor to give such an evaluation of Lu Changsheng.

The concept of destiny was extremely profound,

but it truly existed in the Cultivation World.

Some live a life full of disasters and calamities,

while others sing their way through life, experiencing one lucky encounter after another.

Such people, who experience a continual stream of fortunate encounters, are referred to as individuals with great destiny.

Even if such people lack talent, they are favored by destiny and can rise up through fortuitous opportunities.

In other words, individuals in the Cultivation World who have a name and reputation can all be referred to as someone with great destiny.

“If this child truly possesses great destiny, he will undoubtedly achieve no small feats in the future,”

“Being able to fully integrate into our Lu Family, he could become a strong support for us,”

the Lu Family Ancestor said slowly.

Sighing, he added, “But you all must hasten your efforts, as I won’t be able to protect you for many more years.”

“If we can’t produce a Foundation Establishment, then it’s time to abandon Qingzhu Mountain, split the family early, and each fend for themselves; otherwise…”

“Ancestor!”

“Ancestor, you are in the prime of life, how can this be?”

“Yes, Ancestor!”

The crowd hastily spoke out.

But in their hearts, they couldn’t help but be shrouded with a layer of melancholy.

Being here, they were well aware of the Lu Family Ancestor’s condition.

Although his injuries had healed, his lifespan was already running short.

That night.

Afterward—

“Husband, today you asked me, if my husband were to leave, what would Yun’er choose,”

“Having married my husband, if you truly wish to leave the Lu Family, Yun’er will naturally follow you,”

Lu Miaoyun said, snuggling gently against Lu Changsheng’s chest, her eyes full of tenderness, her voice breathy.

“I was just asking casually, with no intentions of leaving,”

“Where could I go if I were to leave? You don’t need to worry about that,”

Lu Changsheng said in a soothing tone, knowing he had unsettled her earlier with his question about leaving the Lu Family.

In truth, he hadn’t expected that by merely mentioning it, Lu Miaoyun would decisively decide to leave the Lu Family with him.

If it were so easy to sway someone, the Lu Family’s action of marrying a woman to him would be in vain,

merely adding an unnecessary bond.

After all, for a Cultivation Family like the Lu Family, the concept of sacrificing for the family’s interests and benefits was deeply instilled from a young age,

and such a mindset isn’t easily changed.

“Yes,”

Lu Miaoyun softly acknowledged with a “yes”, then let out a delicate cry: “Uh….”

“Husband, your concubine can’t go on…”

But before she could finish speaking, her voice became choppy, no longer forming coherent words.
