Chapter 18: The son-in-law becomes the legal wife!
Inside the hall, both Lu Yuanding and Butler Fu were looking at Lu Changsheng, waiting for him to make a choice.
“Patriarch, the conditions here are naturally very good, and I am very satisfied with them. I have no objections.”
“But I have two questions. Do these children of mine currently belong to me or to the Lu family? If I continue to live in the Lu family, will I still be able to marry and take concubines?”
Lu Changsheng spoke, saying this.
He wasn’t stupid; how could he believe Lu Yuanding’s words about it being a temporary idea and that he could raise any issues?
Although he had become an entry-level talisman master, he was still far from qualified to negotiate terms with the Lu family on an equal footing.
If he were to talk about leaving now, it would definitely affect the Lu family’s perception, view, and arrangements for him.
Although he was living under someone else’s roof, he planned to leave after getting through the initial stage.
But now, he still needed to grow under the Lu family’s protection and would have to live there for a long time.
So, it was unwise to negotiate terms at this time.
It would be fine if the conditions were about the same.
It would be alright even if they were a bit harsh.
Moreover, the Lu family’s contract wasn’t particularly harsh.
It was within Lu Changsheng’s acceptable range.
After all, it was normal for him to pay some price since the Lu family was nurturing him and allowing him to safely get through the initial stage.
Lu Changsheng also had confidence in himself.
He believed that as long as he got through the early stages in the Lu family, he would be able to repay the Lu family three times the resources with his system and second-order talisman master skills, which wouldn’t be a big problem.
Not to mention, in the future, with the Lu family providing materials for him to make talismans, he could earn a lot with his 100% success rate.
You should know that the profits from magical artifacts, elixirs, and talismans are all very high and belong to the category of profiteering.
“? ? ?”
Lu Yuanding was stunned when he heard Lu Changsheng’s words and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
He had thought that Lu Changsheng was troubled by the conditions and treatment.
He didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to ask such a question.
Who do the children belong to?
Will he still be able to marry and take concubines in the future?
Simply…
However, when he thought that Lu Changsheng was just from an ordinary farming family, he was relieved.
This was completely small-peasant thinking, only thinking about wives, children, and a warm bed.
It was just by chance that he possessed spiritual roots, embarked on the path of immortality, and was also exceptionally talented in talisman-making.
In Lu Yuanding’s view, this was even better, making it easier to integrate into the Lu family and be used by the Lu family.
Butler Fu on the side was also speechless by Lu Changsheng’s question.
He thought that Lu Changsheng’s mind was full of women.
He had already married nine Lu family women and was still not satisfied, still thinking about marrying and taking concubines.
Fortunately, the servants he had arranged to serve Lu Changsheng before were all old women. If they were young and beautiful maids, they would probably have been ruined long ago.
It wasn’t that he was reluctant to part with the girls; he really hoped that Lu Changsheng would focus on the path of talismans and not be obsessed with women all the time.
Lu Miaoge on the side was still indifferent, with an otherworldly temperament, not knowing what she was thinking.
“Haha, don’t worry, according to the conditions here, you will be the son-in-law of my Green Bamboo Lu family, not a live-in son-in-law, so all the children naturally belong to you.”
“As for marrying and taking concubines, that is your freedom, and our Lu family will naturally not interfere.”
Lu Yuanding said with a smile.
What they valued was Lu Changsheng as a person.
The talent and value Lu Changsheng showed, a few children, and worldly women were nothing in their eyes.
“Thank you, Patriarch!”
“Then I have no other questions.”
Lu Changsheng said with cupped fists.
Immediately, Lu Yuanding asked Butler Fu to take out the contract that Lu Changsheng had signed before and terminate it.
He signed a new contract with Lu Changsheng on this spiritual contract.
“From now on, treat the Lu family as your own home.”
Lu Yuanding smiled warmly and elegantly.
Then, he gently patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder and continued, “In the next few days, I will have someone handle your identity badge and arrange your residence in Green Bamboo Valley. After everything is arranged, I will have Butler Fu notify you.”
“You will stay here for the time being these few days, and the benefits and treatment will be calculated from this month.”
Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned, knowing that the other party was trying to win him over.
But undeniably, these words and actions did make people feel very comfortable. He nodded and cupped his fists, saying, “Yes, Changsheng thanks the Patriarch.”
Immediately, Lu Yuanding left with Butler Fu and Lu Miaoge.
Lu Changsheng saw them off at the door.
“Hoo!”
Seeing the three of them leave, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
From now on, he could be considered to have gained a firm foothold in the Lu family, right?
After that, a group of wives and concubines also rushed over.
They surrounded Lu Changsheng and asked if the Patriarch’s visit was because of the talisman master matter.
Ever since they learned two days ago that Lu Changsheng could draw first-order talismans, they had been looking forward to this matter even more than Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything and told the truth.
He told the women that after a while, his family would be able to move to Green Bamboo Valley to live.
Hearing this news, the women were all overjoyed and extremely happy, and their eyes looking at Lu Changsheng became even more affectionate and gentle.
The next day.
The news that Lu Changsheng had become a first-order talisman master and would soon move to Green Bamboo Valley also spread throughout Green Bamboo Manor.
This news was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, stirring up layers of waves.
It made the Lu family disciples in Green Bamboo Manor extremely envious and jealous of Lu Changsheng.
You should know that even they, as Lu family disciples, were not qualified to live in Green Bamboo Valley and could only live in Green Bamboo Manor.
But now, Lu Changsheng, a member of an outside clan, was able to live in Green Bamboo Valley.
This showed that Lu Changsheng’s status as a son-in-law was already higher than theirs.
As for the group of immortal seedlings who came to the Lu family with Lu Changsheng, they were even more envious to the point of grinding their back teeth.
There is a saying that people are afraid of their brothers suffering, but also afraid of their brothers driving a Land Rover.
Usually, they would not compare themselves with the Lu family disciples.
But Lu Changsheng, like them, was eliminated by the Green Cloud Sect and was also the Lu family’s son-in-law.
Now, seeing Lu Changsheng having such achievements, they were naturally envious, jealous, and uncomfortable.
They secretly hated themselves for not having this talent.
No matter what they thought, now that Lu Changsheng had become a first-order talisman master, they chose to curry favor with him.
They came to congratulate him and send gifts.
After all, after being in contact with immortal cultivation for so long, everyone knew the value of a twenty-year-old talisman master.
Not only that group of immortal seedlings, but also many Lu family disciples from Green Bamboo Manor put down their airs and came to Lu Changsheng’s home to congratulate him, send gifts, and make acquaintances.
“Changsheng, congratulations, congratulations!”
Li Feiyu next door was the first to come, bringing his wife to congratulate him.
He also brought a box of spiritual tea.
He had broken through to the Xiantian realm in martial arts half a year ago and could break his virginity. Now his wife was also pregnant.
“Thank you, why are you still sending things between us? You’re being too polite.”
Lu Changsheng stepped forward and said with a smile.
He could see that Li Feiyu was somewhat lost.
After all, Li Feiyu had been focused on cultivation, and with his seventh-grade spiritual root, his cultivation had always been ahead of Lu Changsheng.
Now, Lu Changsheng had become a first-order talisman master, belonging to overtaking on a curve, with a great future, far surpassing him.
Of course, Li Feiyu was still sincerely happy for Lu Changsheng’s becoming a talisman master.
He was not the kind of narrow-minded person who couldn’t stand seeing others do well.
He had been getting along with Lu Changsheng for more than two years and had a very good relationship.
“It’s okay, it’s rare to have such a festive occasion, how could I be embarrassed to come empty-handed.”
Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn’t have the slightest airs and was the same as before, Li Feiyu also said with a smile.
After that, the two reminisced and chatted. During the process, one person after another came to congratulate him with gifts.
After receiving people who came to congratulate him for a day, Lu Changsheng looked at it and saw that he had received a lot of gifts today.
Some gave spirit stones directly, and some gave spiritual tea, spiritual fruits, and talisman-making materials, which added up to almost fifty-six spirit stones.
This made Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.
If he had a child in the future and held a banquet, wouldn’t he be able to receive gifts until his hands were soft?
However, he was just thinking about it.
With the Multi-Children Multi-Blessings System, Lu Changsheng’s future route was to be cautious in everything and make friends widely.
After all, he was a person with a family and many children, so he had to pay attention to his reputation.
This kind of thing was okay once or twice, but doing it too much would affect his reputation and other people’s perception and view of him.
It was unnecessary and not worth the loss.
In the next few days, Lu Changsheng practiced peacefully as usual, accompanied his children at home, and waited for Butler Fu’s news.
And his wives and concubines, in these two days, had been in high spirits, visiting their sisters and girlfriends, reminiscing and chatting.
To put it bluntly, they were showing off Lu Changsheng’s becoming a talisman master.
This made a group of sisters and girlfriends who married other immortal seedlings envious, jealous, and hateful.
They secretly thought why they didn’t marry Lu Changsheng in the first place.
Regarding this situation, Lu Changsheng saw it in his eyes and didn’t say anything.
After all, wives and concubines are people, not child-bearing machines, and have emotions and desires.
The current situation was still okay and harmless, but he could already foresee that when his wives and concubines were in groups and his descendants were countless, there would definitely be wives, concubines, and descendants who would cause trouble for him, this ‘old ancestor’, and implicate him.
A family has its benefits, but sometimes it can also become a burden.
However, immortal cultivation is like this, there are gains and losses.
Since he had the Multi-Children Multi-Blessings System and chose this path, Lu Changsheng was also mentally prepared.
