Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2329: Chapter 773: Storm Approaching, Even the Fiercest Woman Fears a Persistent Man! (Part 2)

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of what the Sect Leader had just said, that Absolute Sword True Monarch was preparing to invite the Great Dream City Lord to help.

Yet she and Chu Qingyi both knew that the Great Dream City Lord was Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng was currently away seeking a Nascent Soul opportunity, how was he supposed to help?

...

Half a day later, the jade sedan descended outside Bi Lake Mountain.

Xiao Xiyue lifted the curtain of the sedan, looked at the sight of Bi Lake Mountain before her, and her expression turned dazed; she felt a strange mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity.

When she left for a mission in Yue Country, the Spirit Vein of Bi Lake Mountain had been in the final stage of advancing to Third Rank.

Now the main vein, Bi Yun Peak, had advanced to Third Rank, and the entire peak had become much more majestic and towering.

And with Bi Yun Peak advancing to Third Rank, the linked Bi Shui Lake, Lingcui Cliff, Bailian Peak, and Xuanfu Peak had all been raised as well under the Lu Family’s cultivation.

It could be said that Bi Lake Mountain was now completely renewed, carrying the bearing of a Core Formation Noble Family.

In the early years, although Bi Lake Mountain had Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, two Nascent Soul Immortals, the Family Spirit Land had only been Second Rank, which really lacked the air of a Great Clan.

After all, apart from needing Nascent Soul Immortals, a Great Clan also had to possess a Third-tier Spiritual Land.

Only then would it be enough to support the clan’s legacy and keep producing Nascent Soul Cultivators!

As Lu Changsheng’s proper Dao Companion, one of the Lady Lu, Xiao Xiyue naturally did not need to report in when coming to Bi Lake Mountain; she had a pass Token.

But this time she had come with matters to discuss, so she still activated the Token in her hand, signaling the stationed disciples to go and report.

After layer upon layer of notification, hearing that Xiao Xiyue had arrived, Lu Miaoge, the Main Mother sitting in town at Bi Lake Mountain, came to receive her at once.

"Xi Yue, you’re back."

Lu Miaoge was aware of Xiao Xiyue’s mission to Yue Country.

Seeing that Xiao Xiyue had also brought a jade sedan, a slight look of surprise appeared in Lu Miaoge’s limpid, water-like eyes.

"Let’s talk inside."

Xiao Xiyue brought the jade sedan along with Lu Miaoge to Bi Yun Peak, then called Chu Qingyi and Lu Shouzheng out from the sedan.

"Qingyi True Master?"

Although Lu Miaoge was not familiar with Chu Qingyi, she still knew of this Qingyi True Master of Qingyun Sect, the Enforcement Hall Master.

However, the first thing she noticed was the young child held by Chu Qingyi’s hand.

From the contours of this child’s features, she actually saw a faint shadow of her own husband.

Could it be....

Even though Lu Miaoge had long understood her own husband’s temperament, seeing this Qingyi True Master—whose status was distinguished and who was also Xiao Xiyue’s senior martial sister—bring a son to Bi Lake Mountain, she could not help feeling bewildered and stunned.

What’s more, judging by appearances, this child was already two or three years old, and her husband had not even given her any prior word.

"Shouzheng, this is your Aunt Miaoge."

Xiao Xiyue spoke to the young child, then asked Lu Miaoge whether Lu Changsheng had returned.

"Changsheng hurried back once four and a half years ago and hasn’t returned since, what’s going on?"

Lu Miaoge spoke at once, thinking that Xiao Xiyue had brought Qingyi True Master here to demand an explanation.

Though on this matter, she also felt that her husband had not handled it properly.

At the very least he should have given her a heads-up and an explanation.

But the next moment, her heart gave a jolt as she thought of something: her husband had returned once four and a half years ago, and this child happened to be about two or three years old.

Could it have been that trip back that led to Qingyi True Master becoming pregnant?

"One aspect is about Shouzheng; the other is about the Great Dream Immortal City."

Xiao Xiyue did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of her visit.

"Changsheng passed through the Great Dream Marsh on his way to Starry Sky Sea. He hurried back once before and has gone over again now..."

Lu Miaoge spoke up, knowing even better than the two women how busy Lu Changsheng had been on this trip.

Lu Changsheng had first gone to Starry Sky Sea roughly eight years ago.

When he returned midway, he had only stayed briefly.

After she finished, she asked Xiao Xiyue what was going on with the Liangyue War and whether she had seen her children, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.

"Lu Qingshan is doing very well, incredibly brilliant. In this war he has shone brightly, and is considered a Nascent Soul Seed being cultivated with full effort by the Five Great Immortal Sects of Yue Country; Primordial True Monarch thinks highly of him."

Xiao Xiyue said.

Although she had not interacted much with Lu Qingshan, during her mission in Yue Country she had heard of the latter’s Seven Extremes Sword.

There was just one point she did not mention: Lu Qingshan’s edge was too sharp—after he successively slew several Core Formation Cultivators of Liang Country, he was ambushed by a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator, suffered serious injuries, and was currently under the protection of Jinyang Sect, lying low.

"Now the Liangyue War is in stalemate. Liang Country seems to have reached some sort of cooperation with Yuan Country, and Yuan Country may step in next, so Heavenly Sword Sect is going to Great Dream Immortal City to invite its aid. If Changsheng is not there..."

Xiao Xiyue continued, explaining to Lu Miaoge the matter of the Liangyue War and the current situation of the various countries.

If Heavenly Sword Sect invited Great Dream Immortal City to help, and Lu Changsheng was not there or was unwilling to act, then Heavenly Sword Sect might very well harbor resentment toward Great Dream Immortal City.

After all, as a Nascent Soul Immortal of Qingyun Sect, and having dealt with Heavenly Sword Sect for so many years, Xiao Xiyue knew that in their bones, that group of Sword Cultivators still carried a streak of arrogance and overbearingness.

It was only that the policies Xuanjian True Monarch implemented toward Jiang Country appeared relatively mild, even continuing to maintain the status of the Four Great Immortal Sects of Jiang Country.

But everyone knew that Jiang Country had only one Overlord, and that was Heavenly Sword Sect!

"I’ll send word to Senior Red Lotus about this later and see what arrangements she intends to make."

Lu Miaoge understood the gravity of the matter and immediately prepared to send a message to Hong Lian, who was sitting in town at Great Dream Immortal City.

Unfortunately, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror was not here right now, otherwise they could have spoken directly with Great Dream Immortal City.

"All right."

Xiao Xiyue, knowing Hong Lian’s identity, nodded slightly, then asked about her daughter, Lu Wangshu.

"Wangshu is in Great Dream Immortal City. She has worked very hard these past years and has already cultivated to Foundation Establishment Peak and begun preparing for Core Formation. If she knew you had returned, she would definitely be overjoyed..."
