Chapter 241: Chapter 123: Foundation Establishment, Sorted!_1
 

“How come two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators suddenly came here?”

“That black-robed elder must be the ancestor of the Wugong Ridge Zheng Family, right?”

“That should be the case. As for the other one, if nothing unexpected has happened, it should be the Foundation Establishment Ancestor from the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain.”

“Why would the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain be together with the Zheng Family of Wugong Ridge?”

“They must have seen us conquer Red Leaf Valley, so they want to get a piece of the action.”

“Exactly, just now from the looks of it, they were almost going to make a move.”

“Now that our two families have just taken down Red Leaf Valley, the Yu Family and Zheng Family have sent people. It’s obvious they want to take advantage of the situation.”

Inside Red Leaf Valley, many of the Lu Family and Bai Family Cultivators looked at the scene in the sky, guessing the intentions of these two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, and couldn’t help but become filled with righteous indignation.

Today, their two families had finally taken down Red Leaf Valley and were about to enjoy the fruits of victory.

But now, before they could even pick and enjoy the fruits, the Yu Family and Zheng Family had Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators arriving.

Clearly, they wanted to snatch away the fruits of victory.

Naturally, this made everyone very unhappy.

Even if they were unhappy, everyone only dared to discuss it quietly.

“Lu Changsheng, thanks to you knowing that Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, or else today we might have really been taken advantage of in the chaos,” said Lu Miaohuan, also speaking up indignantly.

Obviously, she was very upset about the two Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators coming to take advantage of the situation.

“Right, Lu Changsheng, what’s inside the gift that Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator gave you?”

Lu Miaohuan continued, with no hint of her initial aloofness, chatting away like a chatterbox with a curious look on her face.

“Just some Spirit Stones and cultivation resources,” Lu Changsheng replied casually.

He hadn’t yet carefully checked the gift that Meng Xiaochan had given him.

He’d only taken a quick glance at it.

He saw that the Storage Bag was filled with a bunch of Spirit Stones, along with two porcelain bottles and a jade box.

“Cultivation resources?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaohuan didn’t ask any further.

She went on to say, “When we return this time, the Family will hold a ceremony to honor our contributions, and you’ll definitely be greatly rewarded. Then you won’t be lacking cultivation resources.”

“I suppose so,” Lu Changsheng wasn’t very concerned about the reward.

After all, with his Talisman Making skills and occasionally earning a side income, he wasn’t lacking cultivation resources.

If there was anything he was lacking, it would be a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

But it was clear that the Lu Family didn’t have a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Even if they did have one, they wouldn’t give him a Foundation Establishment Elixir as a reward.

Looking at the chattering Second Miss in front of him, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and said, “Second Miss, what if I don’t ask for any resources as a reward but instead ask the Family Head for an engagement? What do you think he would agree to?”

“Ah!???”

Lu Miaohuan gasped in surprise upon hearing this, subconsciously thinking that Lu Changsheng was considering asking Lu Yuanding for her hand in marriage.

A wave of shyness overcame her, leaving her mind completely blank.

Her delicate face, fair as white jade, instantly turned a heated red.

“How would I know such a thing!” Lu Miaohuan cried out, her cheeks burning with embarrassment as she shouted loudly.

Then she quickly stood up and left, stirring up a fragrant breeze.

“Is she that easily embarrassed?” Lu Changsheng watched as Lu Miaohuan, graceful and flustered, hurried away, shaking his head with a smile.

He found that teasing the Second Miss was quite amusing, especially since she often appeared cold and noble, but in reality, was quite susceptible to teasing.

Just a little teasing would make her shy and flushed—far too interesting.

But his words weren’t entirely for the sake of teasing Lu Miaohuan.

He indeed had this thought.

But not about asking Lu Yuanding for an engagement to marry Lu Miaohuan.

Rather, it was about asking Lu Yuanding for an engagement to marry Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan together.

After all, his relationships with both sisters had reached this point, so it was time to clarify things.

Quietly seated by his side, Lu Miaoge was also slightly startled when Lu Changsheng asked that question, and she lightly pursed her lips.

After seeing her sister blush and flee, she sighed softly.

Then, with a serene expression and a gentle tone, she said, “I’m going to check on Huanhuan.”

“Sister Miaoge,” Lu Changsheng called out to Lu Miaoge.

“What is it?” Lu Miaoge turned to look at Lu Changsheng, her expression calm.

But her eyes, deep as autumn waters, revealed a hint of panic.

“Sister Miaoge, if I ask the Family Head for an engagement, would you be willing to marry me?” Lu Changsheng asked her through a transmission.

He felt that Lu Miaoge’s mindset was such that she would struggle to get over her own reservations.

Especially since the relationship he had with Lu Miaohuan would likely increase the tension for Lu Miaoge.

So Lu Changsheng thought that he needed to be more proactive with Lu Miaoge.

“It’s okay, Sister Miaoge, you can give me an answer later,” seeing that Lu Miaoge was pursing her lips without speaking, Lu Changsheng didn’t press her and said so.

He knew such matters couldn’t be rushed.

He needed to give the other person some time to think it over.

“Mhm.”

Then Lu Miaoge nodded slightly, giving a simple acknowledgment, and left with a heart in turmoil.

“Husband, when you ask Uncle Yuanding for an engagement, is it to propose to Sister Miaohuan or Sister Miaoge?”

“Or do you intend to marry both Sister Miaoge and Sister Miaohuan together?”

Lu Miaoyun asked, pouting towards Lu Changsheng with a hint of jealousy in her teasing voice.

“Er…”

Lu Changsheng felt a bit awkward being teased by his wife, and he unconsciously touched his nose.

After all, there he was, flirting with other women while his wife was by his side.

And those women were his wife’s sisters.

Even though Lu Miaoyun had previously brought up the topic, it was still somewhat embarrassing for him.

“I think Sister Miaohuan has long harbored deep feelings for you, my husband. If you ask Uncle Yuanding for her hand in marriage, I’m sure he’d agree,” she said.

“But if you, my husband, ask Uncle Yuanding for an engagement, intending to marry both Sister Miaoge and Sister Miaohuan at the same time, that might be a bit difficult.”
