Chapter 255: Chapter 127: A Ten-Year Pact, Revenge_2
Xiao Xiyue was accepted as a disciple by a Nascent Soul Immortal, had already broken through the Energy Refinement Late Stage, and had the prospects of reaching Foundation Establishment in the future.
Zhao Qingqing, with her Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, became a Pharmacist.
But not long ago, through correspondence with Han Lin, he learned that Zhao Qingqing had awakened a latent Spiritual Body, the Vegbody.
This type of Spiritual Body does not enhance cultivation but is adept at nurturing Spiritual Medicine and performing healing.
Therefore, Zhao Qingqing caught the eye of an elder who managed the medicinal garden at the outer sect and was taken in as a disciple.
“Han Daoist has become an Artifact Refiner, and now Lu Daoist is also a top-grade Talisman Master, leaving only me and Brother Li to waste our days in the mundane world…”
Hong Yi voiced his feelings.
Back then, among the six of them, he was the one with the most privileged identity and background.
Although he was doing fairly well now, when compared to Lu Changsheng and others, the difference became obvious.
He was only a little better off than Li Feiyu.
“Sigh.”
Li Feiyu sighed softly beside him but did not speak.
At the time of their three-year agreement, he had already become the worst-off among the six.
Now, more than seven years later, he was still the worst off.
And the gap with the others was growing wider and wider.
This was also the reason he was thinking of venturing into the Cultivation World to make a stand.
“Feiyu.”
Lu Changsheng, seeing his good brother like this, patted his shoulder.
“I’m fine, just feeling a bit emotional seeing you all doing so well,”
Li Feiyu said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
“Now, we only have two and a half years left until the ten-year agreement we made back then.”
“In a while, I’ll write to ask Daoist Xiao and the others if they want to gather together,”
Hong Yi continued.
“I’m fine with it.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
He wanted to maintain these friendships if possible,
but he didn’t force it, preferring to let things take their natural course.
After all, with the system by his side, he did not need Hong Yi’s approach.
Li Feiyu also nodded slightly.
Although he did not entertain the idea of relying on others for help,
he knew that maintaining these connections would be beneficial to himself.
Just like now, his good relationships with Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi provided him with many conveniences in terms of cultivation resources and information.
While the three of them were chatting leisurely, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Lu Residence.
Lu Lanshu, Lu Zi’er, Lu Qing’er, and Xia Zhiyue, along with a group of children, were standing at the entrance of the residence.
It was clear they knew about Lu Changsheng’s arrival and were waiting at the entrance.
“Lu Brother, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb your family reunion,”
Hong Yi said as he got up to take his leave seeing the situation.
“Alright, see you tomorrow,”
Lu Changsheng nodded and then turned to look at his wives and children.
“Husband, father, Zhenzhen, Aunty Qu!”
The wives and children, seeing Lu Changsheng, immediately showed the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
Lu Wuyou and Lu Xile even rushed over to embrace Lu Changsheng.
“Hahaha, did you miss Daddy?”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng held the children and ruffled their heads, a smile also spreading across his face.
“We missed you!”
After not seeing them for over a year, the children had all grown taller.
From their stature and movements, it was evident that they had a solid foundation in martial arts.
Such minor improvements in martial arts also boosted Lu Changsheng’s ability.
However, this boost was too insignificant.
For Lu Changsheng, who was cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, it was almost negligible.
“Lanshu, it has been hard on you all these days,”
Lu Changsheng said to his wives.
“Husband, it wasn’t hard,”
The women shook their heads, their eyes filled with tenderness.
“Let’s go, let’s go inside,”
Lu Changsheng didn’t linger to catch up at the entrance.
He patted his eldest son, Lu Ping’an, who had nearly grown as tall as his chest, and went inside with his wives and children.
Now, the Lu Residence had changed considerably from one and a half years ago.
The house now employed many Protectors, martial masters, servants, and maids.
Following Lu Lanshu’s instructions, upon seeing Lu Changsheng, the head of the household, they all respectfully paid their respects, calling out “Old Master, Family Head.”
“Hehe,”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
He was still getting used to this title,
but in the mundane world, after establishing a family, being called ‘old master’ was also normal.
And being twenty-eight years old, he was indeed not young anymore.
After settling the children, Lu Changsheng spent time with his wives and children, joyfully having a reunion meal.
That night.
“Lanshu, Zi’er, Qing’er, do you want to go back to Qingzhu Mountain for a visit?”
Lu Changsheng asked, embracing his wives.
Sending his wives to the mundane world partly for the children’s care, and partly as preparation for escape.
Now that the situation of the Lu Family had stabilized, if the three women wished to return to Qingzhu Mountain, he could take them back to live there on this trip.
“Husband, we’ll just stay here with the children,”
All three women shook their heads.
They did not necessarily want to leave Qingzhu Mountain,
but they understood that with Lu Changsheng’s busy affairs, rather than going back to Qingzhu Mountain, it was better to stay here.
Moreover, they also knew that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t bring the children back with them and didn’t want to be away from the children.
“Alright, I’ll come back often whenever I have time,”
Lu Changsheng said warmly.
He still had quite a bit of affection for his first three wives,
and, following his words, he expressed his love through his actions.
…
The next day.
“Zhenzhen, why don’t you stay at home, and I’ll go alone,”
Lu Changsheng said to Qu Zhenzhen.
Although this trip was meant to bring Qu Zhenzhen along for revenge,
she had never dared to kill even a chicken, let alone take a life for revenge.
Moreover, he could see that over the years, Qu Zhenzhen had been forgetting and shedding the hatred in her heart.
If she were to see her enemy, it might bring back painful memories.
“Husband,”
Qu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Changsheng, pursed her lips, and her eyes were determined, clearly wanting to go.
“Then let’s go,”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng held her hand and did not say much else.
