Chapter 51: The four elders of the Lu family!

“Yun’er, from now on, live well with Changsheng. You must listen to your husband more, understand?”

“Changsheng, Yun’er is my granddaughter. I am entrusting her to you now. Don’t disappoint me.”

Fourth Elder looked at Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun and spoke.

Although this Fourth Elder was seventy or eighty years old and a grandmother, she didn’t look old at all.

She wore an elegant dark-green plain dress, her black hair meticulously coiled, with a green jade hairpin obliquely inserted. Her face was full and looked like a noblewoman in her thirties or forties.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see strands of white hair at her temples and a few crow’s feet at the corners of her almond-shaped eyes.

But these white temples and crow’s feet did not make the woman appear too old; instead, they added a strong sense of mature charm to her.

“Grandma, please rest assured. Changsheng will definitely take good care of Yun’er and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance.”

Lu Changsheng said respectfully.

Although it was a utilitarian marriage of convenience,

since they were married and had their wedding night, he would naturally treat it seriously and fulfill his obligations and responsibilities.

Lu Miaoyun also softly assented.

“Good, good, good. Grandma believes you. You two work hard and let Grandma hold her great-grandchild soon.”

Fourth Elder held their hands together and said with a smile.

Her face was gentle and kind, and her tone was mild, but due to her long-term high position, her words carried a faint authority.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaoyun’s cheeks immediately flushed crimson, and she lowered her head.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, said frankly, “Yes, Changsheng will definitely work hard.”

He also wished Lu Miaoyun would get pregnant sooner.

“Changsheng, I heard Miaoge say that you have not received any guidance in Talismans and relied entirely on your own exploration.”

“Grandma will give lessons at the end of each month to teach Talismans. You should come then.”

“If you have any questions, or Cultivation-related issues, you can also come directly to Grandma.”

Fourth Elder continued, her tone kind, like a benevolent and loving Elder.

As the person in charge of the Talismans in the Lu Family, besides making Talismans, she also taught the Lu Family disciples Talismans and tried to cultivate new Talisman Masters.

After all, no Family would ever have too many talents like Formation Masters, Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, and Talisman Masters; they wished for more the better.

But these techniques heavily depended on talent and had extremely high thresholds. In the entire Lu Family, she had only taught Lu Miaoge.

For example, Lu Miaoyun, as her granddaughter, had also learned Talismans, but she truly had no talent; otherwise, she would have cultivated her.

Lu Miaoyun being the second to have a blind date with Lu Changsheng was also due to her efforts.

As long as Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun got married, she would diligently teach and cultivate Lu Changsheng, adding a Second-Order Talisman Master to the Lu Family!

“Changsheng thanks Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng immediately cupped his hands and bowed, speaking with feigned excitement.

He also knew that this Fourth Elder was a First-Order Top-Grade Talisman Master.

And she had a Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation.

Guiding him in Cultivation naturally posed no problem.

As for Talismans, although he didn’t need guidance from others, having the guidance of this Fourth Elder as a cover would allow him to display his Talisman skills faster in the future.

Otherwise, having just become a Middle-Grade Talisman Master now, it would take at least three to five years to reveal himself as a High Grade Talisman Master in the future.

This time was too grueling.

If he had this cover from Fourth Elder, he could accelerate things according to the situation.

“We are all Family. Why be so polite?”

“I am Miaoyun’s Grandma, and from now on, I am your Grandma too. If you ever have anything, or encounter any difficulties, feel free to speak to Grandma.”

“Grandma still has some say in this Lu Family.”

Fourth Elder smiled gently, her expression kind and benevolent.

“Yes, Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng also showed a sincere smile.

These words, full of care and affection, warmed his heart and made him feel a sense of closeness, even though he knew the other party had intentions of winning people over.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng spoke to Fourth Elder: “Grandma, Changsheng really does have something that I would like to trouble you with.”

“What is it?”

Fourth Elder’s expression was gentle.

“Changsheng has a friend named Li Feiyu, who came to the Lu Family as a son-in-law with Changsheng.”

“My friend is different from me; he is devoted to Cultivating. Now he is tied down by having children, so I want to trouble Grandma, if you could exempt him from having fifty children, or reduce this number.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He naturally hadn’t forgotten about his good brother Li Feiyu.

He had wanted to mention this to the Family Head Lu Yuanding before.

But because of Lu Miaohuan’s matter, he felt a bit embarrassed to bring it up to Lu Yuanding.

Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally seized it.

“Grandma can’t easily interfere with such matters.”

“However, since Changsheng you have spoken, Grandma will naturally help with this matter.”

Fourth Elder pondered slightly and said.

Such a matter was not difficult for her, the Fourth Elder of the Lu Family.

If she was willing, it was just a matter of a word.

Moreover, this matter was proposed by Lu Changsheng.

Currently, Lu Changsheng also held some weight in the hearts of the Lu Family’s high-ranking members.

For such a small matter, they were willing to do a favor to make Lu Changsheng feel more grateful to the Lu Family.

After all, Lu Changsheng’s request was not excessive.

In fact, this request raised her perception and evaluation of Lu Changsheng by a few points.

Loyal and righteous!

In the Cultivation World, being loyal and righteous, and valuing emotions, was not necessarily an advantage.

But from the Lu Family’s perspective, she naturally hoped that Lu Changsheng was a loyal and righteous person who valued emotions.

“For your sake, Changsheng, Grandma can decide to cancel your friend Li Feiyu’s original contract and exempt him from all requirements to have children.”

“However, without rules, there is no order. Our Lu Family also has rules; we never support idlers.”

“After this child-bearing matter is waived, he will no longer enjoy any welfare benefits from the Lu Family.”

“He can continue to reside in the Lu Family, but he must do certain things for the Lu Family.”

“If he cannot accept this, then he must leave the Lu Family.”

Fourth Elder said so.

At this moment, her gentle and benevolent tone carried a hint of unspoken authority.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

“I’ll go talk to him about this later and give you a reply then, Grandma.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng stood up and bowed, feeling that this was already sufficient.

Having been in the Lu Family for so long, he also knew some of the Lu Family’s circumstances.

Although they had their own Spiritual Vein blessed land and industries, they were not exactly wealthy.

Some of the collateral disciples of the Lu Family in Qingzhu Mountain Village had to refine Materials, guard bamboo forests, cut Qingling Bamboo, and so on, to earn Spirit Stones.

Under such circumstances, how could they support idlers?

To cancel the original contract without any cost, and then choose either to stay and work for the Lu Family or leave, was already very generous.

Otherwise, according to the original contract terms, if he failed to have fifty children within twenty years, he would not only have to compensate three times the resources but also serve the Lu Family for ten years.

“Good, just let Grandma know when you have a result, and Grandma will talk to the Family Head about it then.”

Fourth Elder said with a smile on her face.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun chatted with Fourth Elder for a while before taking their leave.

As they left, Fourth Elder even gave Lu Changsheng a few boxes of pastries and spiritual fruits, making him feel as if he were visiting relatives during the New Year.
