Chapter 226: Chapter 118: Don’t Let the Riches Flow into Others’ Fields! _2
 

A man in black with a mask, his breath somewhat disordered, murmured to himself.

He thought of how his three companions had only been pursuing a few juniors from the Lu Family, and if it hadn’t been for an accident, it would have been impossible for them not to arrive at the designated meeting place after two days.

Having waited until nightfall without seeing a trace of his companions, the masked man decided not to wait any longer.

He took out a set of clothes from his storage bag to change his appearance.

Transforming into a burly man with a square face wearing a purple robe, he piloted a flying artifact towards the Nine Dragons Marketplace.

…

The next day.

Family Head Lu Yuanding and others called Lu Changsheng over and inquired about the situation.

Lu Changsheng had long thought of an explanation for his narrow escape.

He claimed that he had come across a body-protecting talisman at the marketplace for loose cultivators.

It was with this talisman that he had managed to escape death by using an escape talisman.

After listening to his story, Lu Yuanding and the others were somewhat surprised but did not ask too many questions.

After all, there was no need to investigate such matters too deeply.

Regardless of the truth, what Lu Changsheng had done was for the Lu Family, and he deserved praise.

“Changsheng, your actions are indeed commendable; the family will remember this and reward you with a thousand family contribution points,”

“However, you must not take such risks in the future,” Lu Yuanding said.

His gaze towards Lu Changsheng carried a hint of admiration.

In his impression, Lu Changsheng had always been a cautious and steady man.

But this time, he had shown a daring spirit and the poise of a great general.

This altered his impression of Lu Changsheng.

He couldn’t help but feel that during his initial visit to the Qingyun Sect to seek a son-in-law, he had managed to bring back such an outstanding individual.

“Thank you, Family Head,” Lu Changsheng said with a slight bow.

A thousand contribution points were equivalent to a thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, using contribution points to purchase items within the Lu Family was like getting a discount of twenty to thirty percent off the external market price.

Thus, this reward was quite significant.

“Changsheng, as you know the family’s current situation, we’ll need you to draw more talismans in the coming time,”

“Rest assured, you’ll earn ten percent more contribution points for the talismans you draw during this period,” continued Lu Yuanding.

“Understood, Family Head,” Lu Changsheng replied with a bow.

For him, with a second-rank talisman-making skill and a one hundred percent success rate in talisman crafting, drawing a few extra was no problem.

“That’s all, then. Is there anything you want to ask?” Lu Yuanding spoke.

“Family Head, how long will this assembly of clan members last? Should I avoid going out during this time?” Lu Changsheng asked.

It had been a year since he had sent his wife, concubines, kids, Lu Lanshu, and Lu Ping’an to the ordinary world.

He hadn’t yet had the chance to visit them even once.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng also wanted to make a trip to check on his family.

Moreover, he had recently received a letter from Hong Yi.

It said Xia Zhaoyang had a fourth-grade Spiritual Root.

Having passed the Qingyun Sect’s examination, he had successfully been accepted into the sect.

At the same time, the cultivator behind the annihilation of Qu Zhenzhen’s whole family had been investigated.

It was a Qi Refinement fifth-layer cultivator.

Hong Yi and Li Feiyu had taken him into custody directly and imprisoned him in the Ruyi Marquis Mansion, waiting for Lu Changsheng’s disposition.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng planned to take Qu Zhenzhen with him on a trip to the ordinary world.

“The time could be as short as two to three months, or as long as around a year,”

“As for going out, if there’s no emergency or important matter, you should stay in Qingzhu Mountain for the time being,” Lu Yuanding said after a moment of thought.

“Two to three months, or as long as a year,” Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and said, “There’s nothing urgent, I just wanted to visit the children I sent to the ordinary world.”

“Since it’s not something urgent or significant, you should stay put for the time being,” Lu Yuanding said.

“Yes, Family Head,” Lu Changsheng nodded his head again, not questioning any further, and took his leave.

He had a nagging feeling that the Lu Family’s move to recall all its members wasn’t just because of the Chen Family’s attack.

It was as if they were preparing some major move.

Otherwise, why call everyone back when the Lu Family Ancestor was on the brink of death?

Shouldn’t the family members scatter and lie low to preserve their bloodline?

Without speculating further, Lu Changsheng left the great hall.

“After this is over, I can talk to Lu Changsheng about Huan’er,”

“I wonder whether he will agree this time,” Lu Yuanding watched Lu Changsheng’s retreating figure, his thoughts turning to his daughter as he let out a sigh.

He had seen how his daughter had lost her appetite and spirit these past few days.

He knew his daughter’s heart was set on Lu Changsheng, determined to marry no one else.

He didn’t mind the issue of Lu Changsheng having multiple wives and concubines.

As for marrying Lu Miaohuan to Lu Changsheng, he wasn’t against it.

After all, in his view, aside from the many wives and children, Lu Changsheng was an excellent candidate in every aspect.

Marrying Lu Miaohuan to him would also be a good choice.

But the current problem was, while his daughter was willing and wanted to get married, it still depended on Lu Changsheng’s agreement.

He certainly couldn’t beg Lu Changsheng, could he?

“Sigh,” thinking this, Lu Yuanding sighed again.

He felt as a father, he was truly anxious.

…

“Lu Changsheng!”

Just as Lu Changsheng had not walked too far from the estate, he heard a pleasing and engaging voice.

Turning his head, he saw the second young miss, Lu Miaohuan, waving and quickly approaching him.

Today, she was wearing a dark black dress embroidered with gold thread.

Her curvaceous figure was perfectly outlined by the fitted dress, graceful and undulating.
