Starting From a Son in Law to Build a Long Lasting Family
Chapter 808: Outside, she calls you senior sister, but inside, she is your sister!
Lu Changsheng did not know which stronghold Chu Qingyi was at.
As a patrolling law enforcement cultivator, her whereabouts were unpredictable and considered confidential information.
Fortunately, Lu Changsheng had already prepared and had previously plucked a few strands of hair from his son, Lu Shouzhen.
Using his son’s hair as a medium, he calculated Chu Qingyi’s approximate location through divination. After arriving nearby, he activated the communication talisman between them.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Changsheng saw a sword light, like a shooting star, flying towards him.
The sword light dissipated, revealing a tall figure dressed in a white palace gown.
She had a slender figure, an ethereal demeanor, held a湛blue magic sword, and her beautiful eyes looked around with a hint of urgency.
“Qingyi, you’ve become much thinner.”
Lu Changsheng immediately walked up to her, looked at the beautiful woman before him, and said softly, his eyes full of affection.
Compared to his son Lu Shouzhen, he felt more heartache and guilt towards Chu Qingyi.
Given her personality, she must have been filled with conflict and anxiety when she became pregnant with Lu Shouzhen.
But during all this time, he had not been by her side to care for her.
Moreover, he learned from Xiao Xiyue that Chu Qingyi had silently taken care of their son Lu Shouzhen for many years, quietly waiting for him to return.
“Daoist Changsheng…”
Chu Qingyi held the湛blue magic sword, her hair tied up in a垂cloud bun with a plain moon flowing cloud hairpin, a few strands of hair falling by her temples, like scattered snow falling from the branches of a winter plum. Her temperament was cold and aloof, yet carried a hint of gentleness.
Seeing the beautiful woman’s brows and eyes seemingly shrouded in a hazy mist, her eyelashes trembling slightly, looking both happy and sad, Lu Changsheng strode forward and hugged her tightly, saying in a gentle and affectionate voice, “Qingyi, I missed you so much.”
Chu Qingyi’s delicate body trembled violently, then became tense and stiff.
But soon, she gradually softened, allowing Lu Changsheng to hold her.
After a moment, Lu Changsheng slowly released her, gazing deeply into her beautiful eyes that were like clear cold springs, and continued, “Qingyi, you’ve been wronged all these years. I have already proposed to my master, and the True Monarch has agreed to our marriage.”
“???”
Chu Qingyi, whose body had just relaxed a little, instantly tensed up upon hearing this. Her beautiful eyes constricted suddenly, showing indescribable shock and confusion.
Proposed?
Lu Changsheng proposed to her master?
And her master actually… agreed to her marriage with Lu Changsheng?
A few days ago, Chu Qingyi was overjoyed to hear that her master had returned after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
But thinking of her son Lu Shouzhen, she became extremely anxious, not knowing how to face her master.
But now, Lu Changsheng actually said that he had proposed to her master.
And her master had even agreed to their marriage.
This, this, this…
Chu Qingyi was stunned.
She had been adopted and raised by Yun Wanshang since childhood and understood her master’s personality very well.
In her understanding, how could her master allow something like two senior sisters marrying the same husband and agree to Lu Changsheng’s proposal?
If her master knew Lu Changsheng’s true strength, it might be somewhat understandable.
But Lu Changsheng had always been extremely low-key externally.
In the eyes of the world, True Person Changsheng of Azure Lake Mountain was just a clan cultivator with outstanding talent in talismans and great luck.
“Master, how could she…”
Chu Qingyi pursed her red lips and said, a little hesitantly, feeling that Lu Changsheng was deceiving her.
However, Lu Changsheng just held her hand and said with deep affection, “Qingyi, will you marry me?”
“I, I…”
Chu Qingyi’s mind went blank, her face flushed with shyness, not knowing how to respond, thinking that Lu Changsheng was teasing her again.
“Alright, your husband knows you are willing.”
Seeing Chu Qingyi’s flustered look, Lu Changsheng said with a smile, took her hand, and kissed the back of her fair, jade-like hand.
“You, you just bully me!”
Chu Qingyi thought of how he had been gone for over ten years, and upon meeting again, he was teasing her like this. She felt both annoyed and wronged.
“How could I bear to?”
Seeing the sword immortal who was cold and aloof just moments ago now looking so shy, annoyed, and wronged, Lu Changsheng’s heart was filled with tenderness, wanting to hold this little wife in his arms and cherish her dearly.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng led Chu Qingyi to a quiet place to settle down, set up a barrier, laid out the prepared dishes, apologized to her, then asked about her situation over the years with concern, and explained why he had been away for so many years before returning.
“I saw Shouzhen, he is very intelligent. He also told me that since his mother practices the sword, he naturally practices the sword.”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile as he recalled the scene of meeting his son for the first time.
Seeing a hint of worry in Chu Qingyi’s beautiful eyes, Lu Changsheng held her jade hand and said softly, “And Master likes Shouzhen very much. Now she has taken him to cultivate on Caiyun Peak.”
“Ah…”
Chu Qingyi exclaimed in surprise, then said with astonishment, “Master knows about Shouzhen?”
“Yes, I took Shouzhen with me to propose to the True Monarch.”
Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile, knowing that Chu Qingyi didn’t believe his words about the proposal and thought he was joking with her.
“You, you are not deceiving me…”
Chu Qingyi suddenly felt flustered, her heart filled with both anticipation and fear, and anxiety.
“How could your husband joke about such a matter? Do you think your husband is that kind of person, Qingyi?”
Lu Changsheng put on a sad and distressed expression.
Chu Qingyi bit her red lip slightly and looked at Lu Changsheng with a somewhat resentful expression, as if saying, “You are.”
“I am telling the truth.”
Lu Changsheng said helplessly.
Even so, Chu Qingyi still couldn’t quite believe it and said softly, “Master… How could Master agree…”
“True Monarch Caiyun naturally didn’t agree at first, but seeing that Shouzhen was already so big, and the matter was already done, she agreed.”
Lu Changsheng said, spreading his hands.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingyi’s mind instantly conjured up her master’s exasperated look of disappointment, and she immediately felt guilty and self-reproachful, feeling that she had let down her master’s nurturing grace.
Seeing Chu Qingyi’s expression, Lu Changsheng immediately realized he had gone too far with the joke and quickly said, “I was joking. I met True Monarch Caiyun outside before and did her a favor, so although she was angry, after seeing Shouzhen, she still nodded and agreed.”
“It’s just that…”
Lu Changsheng sighed lightly, knowing that he could tell Xiao Xiyue about his relationship with Yun Wanshang, but he had to take it slow with Chu Qingyi, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to accept it immediately.
“Just what?” Chu Qingyi immediately asked nervously.
“True Monarch Caiyun feels that my current status is really not worthy of my Qingyi, so she asked me to come to the front lines to make a name for myself before proposing.”
Lu Changsheng said, then added half-jokingly, “She also wants me to earn more betrothal gifts, and only propose to the Azure Cloud Sect after I have saved enough.”
“If you talk nonsense again, I… I won’t talk to you anymore.”
Chu Qingyi said with a look of shyness and annoyance, completely disbelieving that her master would say such words.
However, her words held no threat whatsoever, making Lu Changsheng unable to resist teasing her.
But Lu Changsheng knew that Chu Qingyi was not the joking type, so he said seriously, “Qingyi, I am not joking. These past few days, I have been on the Crimson Peak battlefield precisely to fulfill the True Monarch’s request and then propose to the Azure Cloud Sect.”
“You… Are you telling the truth?”
Chu Qingyi’s skin, which was like condensed white jade, instantly flushed a light red, and she said somewhat haltingly.
“Of course it’s true. How could your husband joke about such a major matter?”
Lu Changsheng said with some helplessness.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn’t seem to be joking, Chu Qingyi’s heart was in turmoil. She never expected that the matter she had been agonizing over for so many years would be resolved like this.
“Junior Sister…”
Chu Qingyi bit her red lip slightly and asked nervously about her junior sister Xiao Xiyue’s attitude.
Although Xiao Xiyue knew about her and Lu Changsheng, she hadn’t shown any emotions.
However, Xiao Xiyue cultivated the ‘Supreme Forgetfulness Art’, and except for Lu Changsheng, she was almost in a state of supreme forgetfulness, which made Chu Qingyi, as her senior sister, unaware of her thoughts.
Therefore, Chu Qingyi always felt a bit guilty towards this junior sister.
“After Xiyue found out, although she was angry, Shouzhen is already so big, so she nodded and agreed. She just said that she would call you Senior Sister when outside, but when inside, she would follow the rule of first come, first served, and she is the elder sister…”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but continue to tease the sword immortal who resembled a little wife before him.
Seeing Lu Changsheng being so improper again, Chu Qingyi punched him with a look of shyness and annoyance.
Lu Changsheng knew that too much was as bad as too little and stopped teasing Chu Qingyi. He spoke with her seriously, asking her when she planned to return to Jiang Country.
“Originally, the war situation was unfavorable, but the news of Master’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul came, and the front lines instantly stabilized a lot. We are preparing to wait for Master to come to the battlefield…”
“So I might have to wait for Master to come and the war to stabilize before I go back.”
As a high-level member of the Azure Cloud Sect, Chu Qingyi knew far more information than Lu Miaoge.
She knew that Yue Country and Liang Country were currently in a stalemate, waiting to see who would collapse first.
Therefore, in this situation, every Core Formation True Person was especially important.
Although she could choose to go back, as one of the core high-level members of the Azure Cloud Sect, she bore the interests and responsibilities of the sect and naturally could not easily leave the front lines.
She had to strive for the greatest interests for the Azure Cloud Sect in this war and establish the sect’s status as a newly advanced Nascent Soul force.
“That long…”
Lu Changsheng frowned, knowing that Yun Wanshang was still pregnant at this time.
After the pregnancy, helping him break through to Nascent Soul, and then cultivating divine abilities, he didn’t know how long he would have to wait.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s expression, Chu Qingyi said with some self-reproach, “When the situation stabilizes a bit, I will go back to visit Master and see Shouzhen…”
“It’s okay.”
Lu Changsheng sighed lightly, understanding Chu Qingyi.
As a core high-level member of the Azure Cloud Sect, she bore the responsibility and duty of the sect and naturally could not be as carefree as he was.
From another perspective, if this war seriously affected the Lu family, he would also be much more concerned.
Just like Lu Xingyang and others, although they could have retreated to the second line before, fearing the impact on the family, they still chose to stay on the front lines.
However, after hearing Chu Qingyi’s words, Lu Changsheng planned to help out a bit after he broke through to Nascent Soul.
Otherwise, waiting for Yun Wanshang to cultivate a Nascent Soul divine ability and rush to the battlefield, he didn’t know how long he would have to wait.
Moreover, the battlefield situation changes in an instant. If Yuan Country increased its support, or if Liang Country invited forces from the endless desert to intervene, or if new Nascent Soul cultivators appeared, this war would see new variables.
“By the way, Qingyi, do you have time now?”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng’s heart suddenly stirred, and he asked Chu Qingyi.
If he wanted to marry Chu Qingyi, he naturally needed some emotional foundation.
For example, during the Yue Country war, the two of them worked together against the enemy and gradually developed feelings for each other.
As for why they are developing feelings now when the child is already ten years old, don’t ask.
So Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think that his son Lu Qingshan wasn’t going fishing.
Since that was the case, he would call Chu Qingyi to go together.
This way, not only could they fish and help his son get revenge, but he could also have more time to spend with Chu Qingyi and incidentally enhance his reputation as “True Person Changsheng.”
After all, it might be a bit astonishing for just him, Lu Miaoge, and his son Lu Qingshan to kill a late Core Formation cultivator.
If they added True Person Qingyi from the Azure Cloud Sect, this matter would be much more reasonable.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Qingyi asked.
Lu Changsheng immediately explained his idea.
Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Chu Qingyi’s delicate and sculpted face.
She never expected that Lu Changsheng would use his own son as bait for fishing.
She pursed her red lips and said, “I am responsible for law enforcement patrols, so my actions are not affected, but doing this…”
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng nodded and smiled, “Since that’s the case, it’s settled.”
“Okay…”
Although Chu Qingyi felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, thinking of Lu Changsheng’s strength, she felt that he must have full confidence in doing so.
If they could eliminate one or two late Core Formation cultivators from the enemy country, it would also help to alleviate the pressure on Yue Country and Jiang Country to some extent.
A month later.
After spending some time with Chu Qingyi, Lu Changsheng returned to the Crimson Peak Mountain Range battlefront first.
He used the battle achievements from killing three Core Formation True Persons to exempt Lu Miaoge from her remaining five years of service, and the couple prepared to return to Jiang Country.
Although the Core Formation True Persons on the Crimson Peak Mountain Range were reluctant to let them go, this matter was completely in accordance with the rules, and they had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, during this time, Lu Changsheng had helped them draw twenty Tier 3 talismans and sold them some other Tier 3 talismans, so it was really inconvenient to obstruct or persuade them further.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan immediately stated that he and his sister would see their parents off.
Immediately, the family left the Crimson Peak Mountain Range and flew towards Azure Phoenix Immortal City on a spirit boat.
Upon arriving at Azure Phoenix Immortal City, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu continued to take the spirit boat back to the Crimson Peak Mountain Range.
“Tsk…”
On the spirit boat, Lu Qingshan touched the two talismans in his embrace and couldn’t help but click his tongue, shaking his head and sighing.
His father was worried that enemy cultivators would ambush him, so he gave his sister a close-fitting inner armor and a five-colored small banner.
Although he had never seen a spiritual treasure up close, he could still tell that the five-colored small banner was likely a spiritual treasure.
But when he looked at his father with anticipation, expecting him to bestow a protective treasure, the other party only gave him two talismans.
Although these two talismans were also very precious, the difference in treatment was too great!
Does he think his son can’t be killed?
Lu Qingshan really wanted to complain.
However, his sister’s was his, so he looked at his sister, Little Zhuer, wanting to see that five-colored small banner.
“Behave yourself.”
However, just as he spoke, he heard his father’s voice in his mind.
Immediately after, his father even knocked him on the head in his mind.
“Dad, you’re here?”
Lu Qingshan was startled and quickly looked around.
Although he knew his father would protect him from the shadows.
His sword dao had already reached the level of Mind-Sword Resonance, and his spiritual sense was extremely keen.
Like before, when he encountered True Person Black Hawk, it was his Sword Heart that warned him, allowing him to escape death.
But now, he couldn’t sense where his father was at all. This level of skill was simply terrifying.
“Dad really broke through to Nascent Soul!”
Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, feeling that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could achieve such a level.
“Don’t be so jumpy!”
Lu Changsheng not only concealed his figure through the Inverting Yin-Yang Glass Wall but also used spatial power to merge with the void, becoming one with it.
Even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch was present, without careful observation, it would be difficult to detect his figure or aura.
“If you show any flaws and the fish doesn’t bite, then see how I deal with you!”
Lu Changsheng calculated based on the divination that if he didn’t intervene, his son would encounter a killing tribulation on this journey.
But if he showed too many flaws and scared away the “big fish,” causing him to waste time for nothing, then he would have to teach his son a good lesson.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately behaved and began to act seriously, just like usual. Whenever he encountered anything along the way, he would go and investigate.
He even went to investigate when someone called for help or assistance, completely putting himself in danger.
Although this was a bit deliberate, just as the siblings were about to return to the Crimson Peak Mountain Range stronghold, the enemy cultivators who had been ambushing them could no longer hold back and attacked him.
