Chapter 45: Dating the Second Miss

Qingzhu Valley.

Inside an ancient, exquisite, and uniquely elegant small building.

“Father, you actually want me to marry that Lu Changsheng!”

“You’re not unaware that Lu Changsheng is incredibly lustful. Not only has he married nine women from our Lu Family, but he also brings women back from outside.”

“I heard that he recently went out and brought back two vixen-like women. How could you possibly want me to marry someone like that!?”

A cold and beautiful woman of eighteen or nineteen, with an exquisite face and dressed in a black gauze dress, looked at the Head of the Lu Family before her, her expression filled with indignation.

“Lu Miaohuan, although Lu Changsheng is a bit too affectionate, he is excellent in other aspects. He is simple and honest, and he treats his wives and concubines very well, showing great care and consideration.”

“Moreover, yesterday, Lu Changsheng was promoted to a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master!”

“He has only been in our Lu Family for just over four years, and he has only been practicing Talismans for three and a half years.”

“During these three and a half years, our Lu Family has not spent any resources or provided much training and guidance to him.”

“Under these circumstances, his ability to become a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master so quickly indicates his extraordinary talent in Talismans, far surpassing your sister!”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely become a Second-Order Talisman Master in the future. If you marry him, your father will feel at ease.”

Lu Yuanding was earnestly trying to persuade his daughter.

After the small meeting, when he conceived the idea of marrying his daughter, Lu Miaohuan, to Lu Changsheng, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

So, after the meeting, he went to his daughter’s residence and brought up the matter.

He hoped to persuade his daughter to marry Lu Changsheng.

“A First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master!?”

Lu Miaohuan’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.

As a Young Miss of the Lu Family, with her own sister being a Talisman Master, she naturally knew how remarkable it was for Lu Changsheng to become a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master under those conditions.

It was no exaggeration to call him a Talismans Genius.

No wonder her father wanted her to marry Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng could truly become a Second-Order Talisman Master in the future, his status would ensure he was a respected guest wherever he went.

Even if he couldn’t become a Second-Order Talisman Master, becoming a First-Order Top-Grade Talisman Master would still be extraordinary.

She knew that the Fourth Elder, who taught her sister Talismans, was a First-Order Top-Grade Talisman Master.

He could consistently generate significant income for the Lu Family every year and held a very high status.

However, thinking of Lu Changsheng’s various deeds, and the impression left by how he stared at her when she and her sister first met him, she felt uncomfortable and unwilling.

Seeing his daughter’s reluctance, Lu Yuanding sighed and continued to persuade her.

“Lu Miaohuan, your mother passed away early, and I usually haven’t managed you much or lectured you, but on this matter, I am truly doing it for your good, and I hope you listen to me.”

“This time, with Lu Changsheng becoming a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master, coupled with his good performance over the years, our Lu Family has discussed and decided to marry a woman with Spiritual Root to Lu Changsheng, truly incorporating him as one of our own.”

“Many Elders and clan Elders were thinking of marrying their junior granddaughters to Lu Changsheng; this priority opportunity was something your father fought for.”

“You’re not young anymore; it’s time to consider this aspect.”

Lu Yuanding, at this moment, was not the Head of the Lu Family, but a father, speaking with a sigh.

If Lu Miaohuan were as promising as Lu Miaoge, he naturally wouldn’t worry about his daughter’s marriage.

After all, it’s quite normal and common for Cultivators not to marry.

“But this Lu Changsheng only has a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, and so many wives and concubines…”

Lu Miaohuan, hearing her father’s words and seeing his demeanor, pursed her lips and said.

She hadn’t expected that her father asking her to marry Lu Changsheng was actually an opportunity he had fought for.

However, after a moment’s thought, she understood the reasoning behind it.

Qingzhu Mountain has over a hundred Lu Family disciples.

Although these disciples possess Spiritual Root, most of them have limited prospects and little hope of Foundation Establishment.

When they reach a certain age, many are arranged by the Family for marriage, forming alliances with neighboring Cultivation Families.

This is also how these Cultivation Families develop and maintain a steady influx of fresh blood.

Lu Changsheng, as a live-in son-in-law, has lived in the Lu Family and performed well, making him half a member of the Lu Family.

Now that he has shown such talent in Talismans, the clan Elders and Family Elders are naturally very willing to marry a woman with Spiritual Root to Lu Changsheng, thereby fully binding Lu Changsheng to the Lu Family.

“A Nine-Rank Spiritual Root doesn’t matter. With Lu Changsheng’s talent in Talismans, as long as our Lu Family is willing to cultivate him, although Foundation Establishment is hopeless, there is still hope of Cultivating to the Late Stage of Qi Refining.”

“A Second-Order Talisman Master in the Late Stage of Qi Refining, even a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, would show some Face.”

“As for wives and concubines, you don’t need to worry about that. Lu Changsheng’s current wives and concubines are all mortal women.”

“If you marry him, you will naturally be his main wife, and with me here, how could I let you suffer a loss?”

Lu Yuanding saw that his daughter was no longer so stubborn and struck while the iron was hot.

Lu Miaohuan listened to her father’s words, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

In her mind, Lu Changsheng, whom she had met once before, didn’t seem so detestable anymore.

After all, with her charm, anyone would want to take a few extra glances, let alone a lecher like Lu Changsheng.

Seeing his daughter’s expression, Lu Yuanding’s face showed a smile, knowing that his daughter had tacitly agreed.

He immediately said gently, “How about this, Lu Miaohuan, I’ll invite Lu Changsheng to Bamboo Heart Abode tomorrow. Will you meet him?”

“Mm.”

Lu Miaohuan responded vaguely.

Lu Changsheng was in the backyard playing with the children.

Because he had so many children, he had built many toys in the yard.

There were swings, slides, seesaws, trampolines, rocking horses, toy cars, and so on.

However, at this moment, a group of little ones were lining up to play ‘flying’ with him.

This involved him performing the Lesser art of controlling object, making the little ones fly around in the air.

Or he would have the little ones sit on rocking horses or toy cars, and he would use the Lesser art of controlling object to make them fly through the air, making the little ones extremely happy and shouting with joy.

Just then, Lu Changsheng heard one of his concubines say that Butler Lu had arrived.

He immediately knew that there was a response regarding his becoming a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master.

He asked his concubine to watch the children and quickly went to the living room.

“Butler Lu.”

Lu Changsheng slightly cupped his hands.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Looking at Lu Changsheng, Butler Lu suddenly nodded and praised him.

He had never paid much attention before, but now, looking closely, Lu Changsheng was indeed a fine-looking man.

Lu Changsheng was a bit bewildered by Butler Lu’s expression.

“Lu Changsheng, the Head of the Lu Family wants you to prepare well for a blind date at Bamboo Heart Abode tomorrow.”

Butler Lu said with a smile.

“What?”

“The Head of the Lu Family wants me to prepare well for a blind date at Bamboo Heart Abode tomorrow?”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was strange upon hearing this.

He had been wondering what kind of treatment he would receive in the Lu Family after revealing his status as a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master.

He hadn’t expected the Head of the Lu Family to actually arrange a blind date for him?

However, Lu Changsheng immediately realized that this blind date was probably not simple.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s expression, Butler Lu chuckled and said, “That’s right. With you becoming a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master this time, coupled with your performance over the years, the Head of the Lu Family intends to marry his daughter to you.”

Hearing Butler Lu’s words, Lu Changsheng was startled and delighted at the same time.

The image of the elegant and ethereal Eldest Young Miss, Lu Miaoge, immediately appeared in his mind.

However, the next moment, Butler Lu’s words dispelled his fantasy.

“You go meet her tomorrow and perform well. If this works out, you’ll truly be one of the Family.”

“Didn’t you want to have children with Spiritual Root? The Second Miss has a 6th Grade Spiritual Root. If you marry the Second Miss, the children you have in the future will also likely have Spiritual Root.”

Butler Lu said with a smile.

He already had a good impression of Lu Changsheng.

Now that the Lu Family was going to fully incorporate Lu Changsheng as one of their own, he naturally felt even closer to Lu Changsheng, treating him as one of the Family.
