Chapter 125: Spiritual fields, shops, and caves!

Three days later.

Lu Family Old Ancestor led a group of Lu Cultivators back to Qingzhu Mountain.

He announced that the matter of Hongye Valley had concluded.

Lu Miaohuan and her sister also returned with Lu Yuanding.

“Sister, do you think Lu Changsheng will really come to propose?”

After returning home, Lu Miaohuan shyly asked her sister, Miaoge.

These past few days, her mind had been constantly thinking about Lu Changsheng’s words.

She wondered if Lu Changsheng was serious about proposing or if he was just joking with her.

It had made her feel a bit anxious and uncertain these past few days.

“As long as you nod and express your willingness, perhaps Lu Changsheng will come to propose today.”

Miaoge looked at her sister’s shy expression, smiled slightly, and said softly.

She knew her sister had fallen deeply in love with Lu Changsheng.

If it weren’t for a woman’s modesty and shyness, she would have probably agreed then and there.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly in her heart.

Not just Lu Miaohuan.

Her own heart had also been in turmoil these past few days.

Her mind kept replaying Lu Changsheng’s words.

She wondered if she would agree if Lu Changsheng really came to propose.

After three days of contemplation, Miaoge had roughly come to a conclusion.

If it really came to that, if Lu Changsheng truly came to propose, she would still agree and not refuse.

But even with this conclusion, she still couldn’t overcome the hurdle in her heart.

She didn’t know how to face Lu Changsheng and answer his question.

“Can’t he tell if I’m willing or not? Does he still need to ask me? Does he expect me to say it proactively?”

Lu Miaohuan pouted her alluring red lips and said somewhat shyly.

She felt that she couldn’t possibly be the one to proactively tell Lu Changsheng, ‘I’m willing, please come propose.’

That would be too embarrassing!

Moreover, such a matter should be initiated by Lu Changsheng proposing.

Then, under her father’s inquiry, she would state that the marriage was her father’s decision and she would follow his arrangements.

“I happen to have something to discuss with Lu Changsheng. Since that’s the case, shall I sound him out and give him a hint for you, sister?”

Miaoge looked at her sister’s expression and couldn’t help but say.

Although she was somewhat afraid to see Lu Changsheng now.

She was afraid Lu Changsheng would ask for her reply.

But it is said that an Elder sister is like a mother.

For her sister’s happiness, she still chose to talk to Lu Changsheng.

“Mm.”

Lu Miaohuan softly hummed, her voice like a mosquito.

If it were before, proud as she was, she would never let her sister subtly hint.

She would wait for Lu Changsheng to propose proactively.

But the incident where she thought Lu Changsheng had died had made her realize things.

She had already let go of her pride for Lu Changsheng.

At the same time.

Lu Miaoyun was also at Lu, contemplating the matter of her Husband and Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan.

She was thinking about how to facilitate this marriage.

After all, she could also tell that her Husband indeed had feelings for her two Elder cousins.

In such a situation, as a wife, she naturally had to share her Husband’s burdens.

Of course, she also had some selfish motives.

The appearance of Meng Xiaochun earlier had inevitably given Lu Miaoyun a sense of crisis.

She wanted to do something for her Husband.

At the same time, she also hoped that after her Husband married Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan, he would settle down, focus on Cultivation, and concentrate on the Dao of Talisman.

And not spend too much time on other women outside.

“Although I suggested to Husband that Old Ancestor could bestow the marriage.”

“But Husband definitely wouldn’t do that. He would surely need the consent of Miaoge and Miaohuan before proposing.”

Lu Miaoyun couldn’t help but think.

Having been together for so many years, she naturally understood her Husband’s character.

She knew that in such matters, he would certainly respect the other party’s wishes and require their consent.

Without their agreement, he would definitely not propose lightly or have Old Ancestor bestow the marriage.

“It’s clear that Miaohuan likes Husband. If Husband proposes, she will definitely agree.”

“But Miaoge…”

Lu Miaoyun pondered.

Thinking about her Elder cousin’s situation, she couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

She also didn’t know how to describe the relationship between her Husband and Miaoge.

“I remember, Miaoge’s relationship and interaction with Husband used to be different, didn’t they?”

As she pondered, Lu Miaoyun suddenly felt that the situation between Miaoge and her Husband had become somewhat strange.

But she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was strange.

It was as if their relationship seemed very good, yet both of them seemed a bit constrained.

Especially Miaoge.

“I remember that in the past, Miaoge treated Husband a bit like she treated us younger siblings, very naturally.”

“But now, Miaoge in front of Husband is clearly different from before; there’s no longer that natural feeling.”

“That’s right, there’s no natural feeling. Although their relationship still appears intimate, Miaoge hasn’t been talking much to Husband lately, as if she’s avoiding him.”

Lu Miaoyun continued to ponder, recalling the situations her Husband and Miaoge had been in.

“No, it’s not just when facing Husband. It seems Miaoge is a bit unnatural even when facing me.”

“It seems that after Miaoge returned injured before, she started acting a bit off.”

Lu Miaoyun thought carefully and realized that Miaoge had been a bit off for about half a year.

But she hadn’t thought much of it at the time, hadn’t paid attention.

Now, thinking it over carefully, she immediately realized there was a problem.

She felt that something must have happened between her Husband and Miaoge during that time, which was why Miaoge was acting this way.

“During that period, Miaoge encountered rogue Cultivators, her life hanging by a thread, critically ill. It was Husband who rescued Miaoge.”

“Something must have happened during that process, which is why Miaoge is like this.”

“What could it be?”

Lu Miaoyun kept pondering.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, saying, “Could it be…”

“How is that possible?”

Lu Miaoyun was startled by her own guess.

But besides this reason, she couldn’t think of any other reason for a moment.

In fact, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was indeed the reason.

“If that’s truly the case, Miaoge should be willing to marry Husband, shouldn’t she?”

Lu Miaoyun frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s it, Miaoge has always been naturally indifferent, never contending for anything, and always taking good care of us.”

“Even if Miaoge truly has feelings for Husband, in such a situation, she would likely feel indebted to me and be unwilling to marry Husband.”

“Furthermore, Miaohuan also has feelings for Husband. For sisters to marry the same person would surely be difficult for Miaoge to accept.”

“And Miaoge is single-mindedly focused on Cultivation and has no plans to marry. If she were to marry Husband, she would inevitably think about having children, which might cause her some worry.”

Lu Miaoyun, through her understanding of Lu Changsheng and Miaoge, continuously guessed and deduced in her mind.

She felt she had guessed the root of the problem.

“If that’s truly the case, then I need to talk to Miaoge about this.”

Lu Miaoyun thought, preparing to go talk to Miaoge.

To see if it was as she had guessed.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw a beautiful woman standing outside the door, with flowing long hair, white clothes like snow, and an ethereal, elegant demeanor.

“Miaoge?”

Lu Miaoyun was a bit surprised to see Miaoge outside the door.

She hadn’t expected that just as she was about to go look for Miaoge, the other party would be right outside her door.

“Miao Yun.”

Miaoge hadn’t expected Lu Miaoyun to suddenly open the door and come out.

She had come to talk to Lu Changsheng about her sister’s matter.

But upon reaching the door, she suddenly felt a bit unsure how to face Lu Changsheng.

She was afraid Lu Changsheng would ask her how to reply.

“Miaoge, are you here to find Husband? I also happen to have something I want to talk to you about.”

Lu Miaoyun smiled and said.

“Something to find me for?”

Miaoge was startled, somewhat surprised.

She didn’t know why Lu Miaoyun was looking for her.

Then Lu Miaoyun invited Miaoge into the room.

“Miaoge, what did you want to talk to Husband about?”

Lu Miaoyun asked.

“Nothing… nothing really.”

Miaoge shook her head.

In front of Lu Miaoyun, she really couldn’t say that she had come to arrange a marriage for her sister.

“Miao Yun, you just said you had something to find me for, what is it?”

Miaoge lightly stroked her hair and asked.

“Miaoge, what do you think of my Husband?”

Lu Miaoyun tilted her head and asked.

“What do you mean, ‘what do you think’?”

Miaoge was slightly startled.

She didn’t understand what Lu Miaoyun meant by that.

“Just your impression of Husband, his character and all aspects.”

Lu Miaoyun directly sat next to Miaoge, wrapped her arm around her, and said with a beaming smile.

Because Miaoge had studied Talisman with Fourth Elder, her relationship with Miaoge was also very good.

“Changsheng’s character and all aspects are very good.”

Miaoge didn’t know why Lu Miaoyun was asking this, and said softly.

Her impression of Lu Changsheng was indeed good.

In terms of appearance, ability, and character, he was all very outstanding.

Of course, his shortcomings were also very obvious.

As a Cultivator, he was too obsessed with women.

If Lu Changsheng could single-mindedly Cultivate and embrace the Great Dao, her evaluation of Lu Changsheng would be even higher.

“It seems Husband has a good impression in Miaoge’s heart.”

“Then, Miaoge, would you be willing to marry Husband?”

Lu Miaoyun asked as if joking.

Upon hearing this, Miaoge’s heart suddenly pounded.

She hadn’t expected Lu Miaoyun to say such a thing.

She said softly, “Miao Yun, don’t joke like that.”

“Miaoge, I’m not joking.”

Lu Miaoyun looked at her usually calm and gentle Elder cousin showing such a demeanor.

She became even more certain that something had definitely happened between Miaoge and her Husband.

It was very likely as she had guessed.

“Miaoge, I can see that Husband likes you very much.”

“And Miaoge, you also have some affection for Husband in your heart.”

Lu Miaoyun continued.

“Miao Yun.”

Miaoge pursed her lips upon hearing this, signaling her to stop talking.

Miaoge, if I’m not mistaken, something must have happened between you and Husband, right?

That’s right. When you face me and when you face Husband, you both show a hint of avoidance.

Miaoge, what are you worried about? Is it because of me?

If it’s because of me, I think you don’t need to worry, Miaoge, because I don’t mind this matter at all.

Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Miaoge and spoke directly.

Miaoge, I…

Lu Miaoge didn’t expect that her relationship with Lu Changsheng would be guessed by Lu Miaoyun.

And it was stated so directly.

It left her speechless for a moment.

Miaoge, besides me, do you have any other concerns?

If it’s about Miaohuan, I believe Miaohuan won’t mind either.

Are you worried about cultivation? I know you’re dedicated to Cultivating, Miaoge, but marrying Husband won’t affect your Cultivation.

On the contrary, since you and Husband already have feelings for each other, instead of letting these feelings affect your Cultivation, why not become Dao Companions and Cultivate together?

If you’re worried about having children, Miaoge, Husband won’t force anyone in that regard. If you don’t want children, you can just tell Husband directly.

Lu Miaoyun saw Lu Miaoge’s expression and knew she had guessed correctly.

So she blurted out everything in one breath.

I…

Lu Miaoge pursed her lips, unable to speak.

She didn’t expect that her relationship with Lu Changsheng and her inner struggles would all be revealed by Lu Miaoyun.

Miaoge, Husband is so fickle and romantic. If I said I wasn’t a little disappointed, it would definitely be a lie.

But Husband is truly good to us. He won’t be overly biased or dote on one person, so you can rest assured.

Moreover, you saw what happened between Husband and that Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator before.

I think such things might still happen in the future. I can’t stop Husband, but I just want to try my best to avoid it. So I also have a selfish motive, hoping that Miaoge and Miaohuan marry Husband, so that Husband will be less of a playboy outside.

Lu Miaoyun continued, her tone sincere.

Lu Miaoge pursed her lips, saying nothing.

She also thought of Meng Xiaochun’s matter.

She knew in her heart that Lu Changsheng had a secret Opportunity.

In such a situation, if Lu Changsheng could settle down, Cultivate well, and focus on the Dao of Talismans, he might truly be able to reach Foundation Establishment.

She had always hoped that Lu Changsheng would Cultivate well.

And not always be so obsessed with women.

Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Miaoge’s expression, seeing that her heart had already softened and she was struggling with indecision.

She immediately struck while the iron was hot, saying, “Miaoge, if you still have concerns, you can be the main wife, and I’ll be the secondary!”

Miao Yun, don’t be like that.

Lu Miaoge was already flustered by Lu Miaoyun’s words.

This statement instantly left her completely bewildered.

She didn’t expect Lu Miaoyun to make such a sacrifice.

So, does that mean you agree, Miaoge?

Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Miaoge’s expression and smiled playfully.

Lu Miaoge originally wanted to say that she hadn’t agreed.

But since Lu Miaoyun had already said so much, she felt she had no reason to refuse.

And it was indeed as Lu Miaoyun said.

She already had feelings for Lu Changsheng in her heart, and it was impossible to sever this relationship. Continuously avoiding it was not a solution.

It would be better to marry Lu Changsheng and Cultivate together.

It could also urge Lu Changsheng to Cultivate well.

Moreover, she also knew that if she didn’t agree, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t easily give up.

Besides, she had thought before that if Lu Changsheng truly came to propose, she would also agree and not refuse.

Mm.

Then, Lu Miaoge’s eyes lowered slightly, and she nodded gently.

That’s great!

Lu Miaoyun’s eyes curved into crescent moons when she saw Lu Miaoge nod.

Then she asked, “By the way, Miaoge, can you tell me now what you came here for?”

She didn’t believe Lu Miaoge came here for no reason.

If there was nothing, why come all the way here and stand outside the door without entering?

It’s about Miaohuan.

Lu Miaoge sighed softly, “Miao Yun, you can also see that Miaohuan likes Changsheng very much. And at Hongye Valley, Changsheng mentioned proposing, so Miaohuan has been thinking about it these past few days.”

So I came over to talk to Changsheng about this matter and to settle things between him and Miaohuan.

Lu Miaoge said so.

Miaoge, did Husband also send you a voice message asking you that question at the time?

Lu Miaoyun nodded and asked.

At that time, Lu Changsheng stopped Lu Miaoge, and then didn’t speak.

But Lu Miaoyun could also tell that her Husband was speaking through a voice message.

She now guessed the general content of the voice message.

Mm.

At this point, Lu Miaoge didn’t hide it, nodding somewhat awkwardly.

So, Miaoge, you didn’t come in just now because you didn’t know how to reply to Husband?

Lu Miaoyun showed a look of sudden realization.

She immediately said, “Miaoge, don’t worry. Since that’s the case, I’ll take care of your and Miaohuan’s matters.”

I’ll talk to Husband.

Lu Miaoyun said so.

She also knew the personality of her clan sister.

She knew that such a matter would indeed be difficult and awkward for Lu Miaoge to discuss with Lu Changsheng.

Moreover, after all the words she had just spoken, Lu Miaoge’s heart must be a bit chaotic right now.

She needed time to calm down.

If she were to tell Lu Changsheng herself, her thoughts might change again.

Then I’ll trouble you, Miao Yun.

Lu Miaoge breathed a sigh of relief and said so.

Then she bid farewell and left.

In this short time, her heart, which she had finally managed to calm down a few days ago, was once again in turmoil.

We’ll be family from now on, Miaoge, no need to be polite.

Lu Miaoyun immediately got up to see Lu Miaoge off.

Hmph, you stinky Husband, you’d better compensate me well then!

After seeing Lu Miaoge out, Lu Miaoyun thought about how she, as a wife, was helping her Husband find women at this moment. Her heart couldn’t help but feel a little sour, and she let out a soft snort.

And after Lu Miaoge left, she gradually came back to her senses.

She didn’t expect to come here to help her sister get married, only to end up getting herself involved as well.

Sigh.

Lu Miaoge thought about how she had already agreed and said nothing more, just letting out a soft sigh.

However, at this moment, she also felt a sense of relief and lightness.

For the past six months, this matter had been hanging in her heart, making it difficult for her to focus on Cultivation.

Inside the study.

Uh, Miaoge agreed too?

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when he heard Lu Miaoyun’s words.

He wasn’t worried about Lu Miaohuan’s side.

He knew that when he asked her, Lu Miaohuan’s attitude at the time was already considered an agreement.

What he had always been considering was Lu Miaoge’s side, thinking about how to resolve Lu Miaoge’s inner conflict.

He didn’t expect this matter to be resolved by his little wife.

That’s right, Miaoge has already agreed.

So, Husband, how are you going to reward me?

Lu Miaoyun pouted her lips and said in a sweet voice.

What reward does Yun’er want?

Lu Changsheng looked at his little wife, immediately pulling her onto his lap and settling her, his hands exploring.

Husband…

Lu Miaoyun’s beautiful eyes were slightly closed, her gaze flowing, as she lightly bit her lower lip, her breathing becoming a little rapid.

Then, her delicate body weakly supported itself on the desk.

As a thoughtful and considerate good man, Lu Changsheng also considerately supported his delicate wife’s waist.

For a moment, the study was filled with warmth.

Two days later, Lu Family Old Ancestor came to find Lu Changsheng, stating that he was greatly indebted to him for the attack on Hongye Valley.

Therefore, as a reward for his merits, he was granted one hundred mu of Spirit Fields.

And he also stated that soon, Hongye Valley would be jointly governed by the Lu Family, Yu Family, Bai Family, and Zheng Family, to establish a Cultivator Market.

At that time, the Lu Family would allocate a shop and an Immortal Cave to Lu Changsheng in the Red Leaf Market.

Thank you, Old Ancestor!

Lu Changsheng heard this and bowed in gratitude.

This reward was indeed generous.

Firstly, these hundred mu of Spirit Fields on Qingzhu Mountain could bring Lu Changsheng a considerable stable income.

Then, once Hongye Valley was established as a Market, as long as its popularity grew, a single shop would be a money tree.

So, this shop and an Immortal Cave were completely two money trees.

Lu Changsheng also knew in his heart that he was able to receive such a generous reward entirely because of Meng Xiaochun.

Otherwise, given how he and Lu Miaoyun had just been tagging along, merely participating.

A reward of a hundred or so Spirit Stones would have been considered a great reward.

How could it be such a generous reward?

Spirit Fields like those on Qingzhu Mountain were all controlled by the Lu Family Elders, managed by Spirit Farmers.

Now, they suddenly took out one hundred mu to reward him.

Lu Changsheng estimated that this was also the Lu Family adding another layer of ties to him.

Heh heh, our Lu Family never mistreats its own people. This is what you deserve.

Changsheng, if you have any other requests, feel free to make them.

Lu Family Old Ancestor said with a laugh.

I came back a bit late today, so I rushed to write this, and I feel like I have to include the sisters here. I couldn’t drag it out any longer, and I didn’t know how to include them for a while, so it looks a bit stiff. I’ll write more tomorrow.
