Chapter 119: Good things should be kept within the family!

Lu Miaohuan hugged Lu Changsheng for a moment before immediately regaining her composure.

She then remembered that this was in Lu Changsheng’s Lu, and there were so many people watching.

Moreover, all these people were Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines.

She had actually thrown herself into Lu Changsheng’s arms in front of his wives and concubines.

No matter how bold and unrestrained Lu Miaohuan usually was, not caring about others’ opinions, at this moment, her pretty face couldn’t help but turn red, and she covered her face and ran away.

“Uh…”

Lu Changsheng was stunned watching Lu Miaohuan’s hasty departure.

Then he shook his head slightly and smiled.

He vaguely understood what was going on in his heart.

It should be that he had gone to lure away the rogue cultivators, making the Second Miss think that he was in grave danger.

Upon hearing that he had returned alive, she was so excited when she saw him.

“Miaoge, I made you worry.”

At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked at the Young Miss not far away, dressed in white like snow, with a tall and slender figure, and said with a smile.

Since Lu Miaoge had come with Lu Miaohuan, she must have known about the rogue cultivators and worried about him.

“It’s good that you’re fine.”

Lu Miaoge was also overjoyed to see Lu Changsheng completely unharmed.

But even with such joy, in this situation, she would not, unlike her younger sister Lu Miaohuan, directly pounce on Lu Changsheng.

She just smiled and said softly.

Her clear and refined face, without any makeup, was as beautiful as morning glow reflecting on snow.

Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other women saw Lu Miaohuan hug their husband, cover her face, and leave.

Their husband and the Young Miss both smiled and talked to each other.

One was gentle as jade, like a spring breeze.

The other was clear and refined, elegant as an immortal.

Watching them, they felt an indescribable sense of harmony and appropriateness.

“Since you’re fine, I’m relieved. I’ll go check on Miaohuan.”

Lu Miaoge did not stay long.

In this situation, with so many of Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines present, it made her feel a bit awkward and uncomfortable.

Especially in front of Lu Miaoyun, she felt a sense of guilt and shame.

Normally, she didn’t dare to see Lu Miaoyun much, but today she came because she was worried about Lu Changsheng.

“Miaoge, I’ll see you out.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng quickly stepped forward and said.

Lu Miaoge wanted to say there was no need.

But seeing Lu Changsheng already walking over, she gently pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Miaoge, has your body recovered?”

Lu Changsheng asked naturally.

At that time, under his treatment, Lu Miaoge’s life was stabilized, but her injuries were not light and still required recuperation; she had returned to recuperate.

“It’s almost fully recovered,” Lu Miaoge said softly.

“That’s good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

The two fell silent.

Walking out of the backyard and arriving at the front yard, Lu Changsheng grasped Lu Miaoge’s delicate hand and said, “Miaoge, I miss you very much.”

Lu Miaoge’s hand was held by Lu Changsheng, and upon hearing these words, her body stiffened, and her heart trembled.

She was also a bit shy, afraid that this scene would be seen by others.

“Miaoge, do you miss me?”

Lu Changsheng saw Lu Miaoge’s earlobes slightly redden and leaned closer to ask.

Lu Miaoge’s cheeks were flushed, and after holding it in for a while, she whispered, “I miss you too.”

“I’ll go check on Miaohuan.”

Then she broke free from Lu Changsheng’s hand and hurried away with a somewhat flustered expression.

Seeing Lu Miaoge’s back, Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly, chuckled, and returned to the backyard.

As soon as he returned to the backyard, he saw Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other wives and concubines looking at him with curious and gossipy expressions.

“On my way back from Nine Dragon Market this time, I encountered a small accident, which made the Second Miss think something had happened to me, so she was so excited when she learned I had returned.”

Lu Changsheng coughed a few times and explained to his wives and concubines.

“Oh, so that’s what happened.”

Qu Zhenzhen showed a look of sudden realization, but her teasing smile clearly indicated disbelief.

“It’s fine, husband. Anyway, there are already so many younger sisters in the Lu, why don’t you marry both Miaoge and Miaohuan into the Lu?”

Lu Miaoyun spoke, pursing her lips and chuckling.

Regarding Lu Changsheng’s marriage and concubines, she, as the main wife, had already come to terms with it.

She thought that Lu Changsheng brought women home every day.

It would be better to marry Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan.

It could also be considered keeping the wealth within the Family.

Moreover, she knew that her husband wanted to have several children with good Spiritual Root.

And Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan both possessed Medium Grade Spiritual Root.

If they were to have offspring, there would be a good chance of having offspring with Medium Grade Spiritual Root in the future.

“What are you talking about?”

Although Lu Changsheng had this intention in his heart, he certainly couldn’t agree to it immediately at this moment.

“Husband, I’m serious.”

Lu Miaoyun’s tone carried a hint of coquetry.

“Yes, Sister Yun is right. Every time I see husband and Miaoge together, I think they are a perfect match.”

Qu Zhenzhen also spoke up in agreement.

“Oh, you’re teasing your husband now? It seems it’s been a long time since you’ve had a taste of Family rules.”

Lu Changsheng’s heart warmed upon hearing this, thinking that his little wives were truly considerate and sensible.

Just as he was about to enforce Family rules on his wives and concubines, Fourth Elder arrived.

“Grandma.”

“Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun both tidied their clothes slightly and came out to greet her.

Qu Zhenzhen and the other women also followed, bowing and calling her Grandma.

“Changsheng, it’s good that you’re fine.”

Fourth Elder had also heard that Lu Changsheng had returned and came to check on him.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng was fine, she also felt relieved.

Since Lu Miaoyun and the other women were all there, she did not ask Lu Changsheng how he escaped the pursuit.

She just chatted briefly and then went to see her great-grandson.

On a mountain peak a thousand li away from Nine Dragon Market.

“What’s going on? It’s been two days, and they still haven’t arrived.”

“Could something have happened? Does the Lu Family secretly have hidden experts?”

A masked man in black, with a somewhat disordered aura, muttered to himself.

He thought that his three companions were only chasing a few juniors of the Lu Family, and if it weren’t for an accident, it would be impossible for them not to have reached the agreed location after two days.

After waiting until nightfall and still not seeing his companions, the masked man no longer waited.

He took out a change of attire from his Storage Pouch.

He transformed into a burly, square-faced man in a purple robe, controlling a Magical Artifact and flying towards Nine Dragon Market.

The next day.

Patriarch Lu Yuanding and others summoned Lu Changsheng and inquired about the situation.

Lu Changsheng had already prepared an explanation for his narrow escape from death.

He stated that he had acquired a protective treasure in the Loose Cultivator market.

It was precisely with this treasure that he was able to escape using a Stealth Talisman.

After hearing this, Lu Yuanding and the others were a bit surprised, but they didn’t inquire further.

After all, in such matters, there was no need to pry into every detail.

Because regardless of truth or falsehood, Lu Changsheng’s actions were all for their Lu Family, and worthy of praise.

“Changsheng, you have rendered meritorious service in this matter. The Family will remember it and you will receive a thousand Family contributions.”

“However, you must not take such risks again in the future.”

Lu Yuanding said.

His gaze towards Lu Changsheng also carried a hint of appreciation.

Originally, in his impression, Lu Changsheng had always been a cautious and steady honest person.

But this time, he displayed a sense of responsibility and boldness, with the demeanor of a great general.

This changed his perception and impression of Lu Changsheng.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, thinking that he had only gone to Qingyun Sect to recruit a son-in-law, and unexpectedly brought back such a promising talent.

“Thank you, Patriarch.”

Lu Changsheng bowed slightly.

One thousand contributions were equivalent to one thousand Spirit Stone.

Moreover, contribution points allowed for purchases within the Lu Family at a discount of about 20-30% compared to the outside world.

So, this reward was not small.

“Changsheng, you know the current situation of the Family, so for the time being, I will need you to work hard to draw more Talismans.”

“Don’t worry, during this period, the Talismans you draw will yield 10% more contribution than usual.”

At this moment, Lu Yuanding continued.

“Understood, Patriarch.”

Lu Changsheng slightly cupped his hands.

For him, who possessed Second-Order Talisman Making Skill and a 100% Talisman success rate, drawing more Talismans was nothing.

“Alright, there’s nothing else. Do you have any questions?”

Lu Yuanding said.

“Patriarch, how long will the Family members be gathered this time? And during this period, should we try not to go out?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

It had been a year since he sent his wives, children, Lu Lanshu, Lu Ping’an, and others to the secular world.

He hadn’t visited them once.

So Lu Changsheng also thought about going to the secular world to see his wife and children.

Moreover, not long ago, he received a letter from Hong Yi.

It stated that Xia Chaoyang possessed a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root.

He had passed the assessment at Qingyun Sect and successfully joined Qingyun Sect.

At the same time, the behind-the-scenes immortal cultivator who had annihilated Qu Zhenzhen’s entire Family had also been investigated.

It was a Qi Refining fifth-layer immortal cultivator.

Hong Yi and Li Feiyu had led people to capture him directly and imprisoned him in Ruyi Marquis Manor, awaiting Lu Changsheng’s disposal.

So Lu Changsheng also planned to take Qu Zhenzhen to the secular world.

“This period will be as short as two or three months, and as long as about a year.”

“As for going out, if there’s no urgent or important matter, you should temporarily stay on Qingzhu Mountain and not go out.”

Lu Yuanding pondered for a moment before saying.

“As short as two or three months, as long as a year.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and said, “It’s nothing major, just that I sent my children to the secular world before and wanted to go see them.”

“Since it’s not an urgent or major matter, don’t go out. It’s just for this period of time.”

Lu Yuanding said.

“Yes, Patriarch.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, didn’t ask further, and took his leave.

He vaguely felt that the Lu Family’s decision to recall all their Family members this time.

It wasn’t solely because of the Chen Family’s attack.

It also seemed like they were brewing some big move.

Otherwise, what was the point of gathering people back when the Lu Family Old Ancestor was about to die?

To fight the Chen Family to the death, a do-or-die battle?

At this time, shouldn’t they let their Family members scatter and go into hiding to preserve their Bloodline?

Lu Changsheng didn’t ponder too much and walked out of the main hall.

“After this matter is over, I can talk to Lu Changsheng about Miaohuan’s matter.”

“I wonder if Lu Changsheng will agree this time.”

Lu Yuanding looked at Lu Changsheng’s departing back, then thought of his daughter, and couldn’t help but sigh.

He had seen his daughter’s restless and unappetizing state for the past few days.

He knew that his daughter had fallen deeply in love with Lu Changsheng and would only marry him.

She no longer cared about Lu Changsheng’s wives and concubines.

He wasn’t averse to marrying his daughter to Lu Changsheng.

After all, in his opinion, aside from having too many wives and children, Lu Changsheng’s conditions in all other aspects could be considered excellent.

Marrying Lu Miaohuan to Lu Changsheng was also a good choice.

But the problem now was that even if his daughter was willing and wanted to marry, Lu Changsheng also had to be willing and nod his head.

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

“Sigh.”

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanding couldn’t help but sigh.

He felt that he, as an old father, was simply worn out with worry.

“Lu Changsheng!”

Lu Changsheng had just walked out of the manor not far when he heard a pleasant and charming voice.

He turned his head to look.

He immediately saw the Second Miss, Lu Miaohuan, waving at him and walking quickly towards him.

Today, the Second Miss was wearing a dark black dress with gold embroidery.

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

A pair of round, straight beautiful legs were faintly visible beneath the hem of the skirt, wrapped in thin, cicada-wing-like black silk stockings, making her sexy and alluring.

She wore a pair of black high-heeled shoes with slender heels and gold patterns.

This outfit was somewhat similar to the clothes Lu Changsheng first saw Lu Miaohuan in.

It was just that, relatively speaking, the skirt had become much more conservative.

It did not expose her fair, rounded shoulders and delicate collarbones.

“Second Miss.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaohuan and said.

“Lu Changsheng, these are your Talismans. We didn’t use them at the time.”

Lu Miaohuan held a stack of Talismans in her hand, taking small steps, her high heels making a ‘tap-tap-tap’ sound.

This sound of footsteps seemed much lighter and brisker than usual.

“Thank you, Second Miss, for specially bringing them over.”

Lu Changsheng glanced at them, smiled, and said.

“No trouble.”

Lu Miaohuan shook her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Then she said softly, “Thank you for earlier.”

“Thank me for what?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Second Miss, who was originally noble and aloof, now blushing at every turn, and felt quite emotional in his heart.

He still preferred her noble and cold demeanor.

“Just about what happened when we returned.”

“Lu Changsheng, why did you get off the flying boat at that time? Didn’t you know it was dangerous? Weren’t you afraid of death?”

Lu Miaohuan asked.

“I knew, and I was afraid.”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

“If you were afraid, why did you still do it? How dangerous it was.”

Lu Miaohuan continued to ask.

Although Lu Changsheng was fine now, she still felt lingering fear when she recalled the scene at that time.

She didn’t know how Lu Changsheng had escaped with his life.

“In that situation, someone had to be lured away, otherwise we would all be in danger.”

“And I felt I was the most suitable, so I stepped forward. Otherwise, if we kept delaying, what if you, Second Miss, encountered danger?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Second Miss’s appearance and said teasingly.

Lu Miaohuan looked at his mischievous smile and playful tone, how could she not know he was deliberately teasing her?

But in her heart, she also felt that Lu Changsheng was deliberately speaking the truth in a joking tone.

“If Second Miss feels touched, you can give me a hug like yesterday to show your gratitude.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaohuan’s expression, smiling faintly.

“Hmph, dreaming!”

Lu Miaohuan thought of her socially embarrassing behavior yesterday, and immediately let out a delicate snort, turning to leave.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back, walked towards Lu Changsheng, and hugged him: “Is this enough?”

Lu Changsheng, who was originally about to say something, at this moment, couldn’t help but stiffen slightly.

Because he saw Patriarch Lu Yuanding just walking out.

“Hmm?”

Lu Miaohuan saw that Lu Changsheng wasn’t speaking.

She also couldn’t help but turn her head.

She immediately saw her father.

Suddenly, she felt a burst of shyness.

She didn’t expect that her act of hugging Lu Changsheng would be seen by her father, so she immediately let go of Lu Changsheng, lowering her head.

“It seems my previous worries were unnecessary.”

Lu Yuanding saw this scene, shook his head slightly, and directly pretended not to see it, turning back.

He hadn’t expected that his daughter and Lu Changsheng’s relationship had already reached this point.

At the same time, he felt in his heart that Lu Changsheng was not as honest as he appeared.

“It’s all your fault!”

Lu Miaohuan saw her father pretending not to see and turning back, and said to Lu Changsheng in an annoyed tone.

She didn’t dare to say anything more to Lu Changsheng and quickly went home.

PS: I’m very sleepy, the missing words will be made up during the day.

Sigh, actually, I don’t like writing this kind of plot either. You all don’t like reading it, and I write it stiffly, getting stuck for half a day on one or two sentences.

But I feel that, even as a ruthless breeding machine, when the plot reaches this point, the two sisters must have a slight conclusion, and it’s unavoidable to write a little.
