Chapter 140: Yun Wanshang: How could it be him?

Hongye Valley’s streets were as usual, with sparse pedestrians, and it was not lively.

Lu Changsheng was carrying his daughter Lu Qingzhu, strolling through the streets of Hongye Valley with his wife Lu Miaoge.

“Little Qingzhu, do you like this?”

Lu Miaoge asked, her hair styled high, her face elegant and gentle, holding a small toy and inquiring about her daughter’s preference.

“Uh-huh.”

Lu Qingzhu looked at it a few times before responding.

“Looks like she doesn’t like it.”

Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s expression and chuckled.

This two-year-old daughter of his was a delicate and lovely gem.

She had a bit of a silly personality, never crying or throwing tantrums, always quiet and obedient.

Even when Lu Changsheng teased her, she would only look at him with a slightly wronged expression, like a little adult.

Compared to the mischievous and energetic Lu Qingshan, she was a completely different story.

“Isn’t that Miss Lu Miaoge? The child has grown so big already.”

“No wonder Master Lu is so devoted to the Lu Family; it seems the Lu Family’s foundation is indeed very strong.”

At this moment, a few men and women walked over from a distance.

Among them, a young man in blue robes caught sight of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, and his mouth curved upwards as he joked,

“Young Master Yu, are we familiar with you?”

Lu Changsheng tilted his head and said calmly with no expression on his face.

This young man in blue robes was none other than Yu Ningyuan, the third young master of the Yu Family, who had tried to recruit him at the Julong Market back then.

Lu Changsheng didn’t have any good feelings towards this Yu Family’s third young master.

Or rather, he didn’t have any good feelings towards the entire Yu Family.

After all, according to his speculation, the ambush Lu Miaoge had encountered, and the ambush he had encountered on his way back, were likely orchestrated by the Yu Family.

When this Yu Family’s third young master had come to the Julong Market to recruit him, it was likely related to the opponent.

These matters were all etched in his memory.

When the time comes, he’ll settle the score.

“Hmph.”

Yu Ningyuan looked at Lu Changsheng, who didn’t give him any face, and his expression turned cold.

But he only let out a cold snort.

After all, Hongye Valley’s streets were still in the initial stages of development.

He wouldn’t stir up trouble with anyone in the streets, lest it affect the reputation.

Otherwise, with Lu Changsheng making him lose face, he wouldn’t let it slide easily.

“Lu Changsheng,”

Yu Ningyuan said as he turned to leave, casting a glance at Lu Changsheng.

He knew that Lu Changsheng was no ordinary person.

He had rescued Lu Miaoge, and even escaped unscathed from the ambush.

During the battle where the Lu Family and the Bai Family destroyed Hongye Valley, he had played a crucial role.

He knew that the latter wasn’t easy to deal with.

“Changsheng, be careful around the Yu Family,”

Lu Miaoge whispered to Lu Changsheng.

Although the Lu Family, Bai Family, Zheng Family, and Yu Family had collaborated to establish Hongye Valley’s streets, the relationships between the four families hadn’t improved much.

After all, the Hongye Valley incident had been quite unpleasant.

“I know, Miaoge,”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

As a core member of the Lu Family, he was aware of the intricacies involved.

The two of them continued to stroll for a while before returning to the Lu Family’s Spirit Talisman Pavilion with their daughter.

As for Lu Changsheng’s own ‘Peace Talisman Hall’, he would visit every month to check the accounts and replenish the Talismans.

If he was busy, he would let Lu Miaoge help.

The main issue was that the foot traffic in Hongye Valley’s streets was still limited.

The monthly income mainly relied on his few top-grade Talismans, and there wasn’t much to look forward to.

“Little Qingzhu, why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

Back at the Spirit Talisman Pavilion’s third floor, Lu Changsheng looked at his quiet and obedient daughter in his arms, thinking she had fallen asleep.

But when he looked down, a pair of bright, shining eyes was staring back at him.

“Daddy, I’m not sleepy,”

Lu Qingzhu said in a sweet, childish tone.

Her small head leaned against Lu Changsheng’s chest, her soft, white face gently rubbing against him.

“Are you hungry, then?”

As Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter’s adorable expression, he felt extremely satisfied, and he couldn’t help but give her a gentle bite on the cheek.

“Ooh.”

The little girl thought for a moment, then pouted and nodded her head.

“You’re hungry, but you don’t know how to say it, you silly thing.”

Lu Changsheng heard this and couldn’t help but smile.

He immediately took out a milk bottle and a jade bottle from his storage bag.

Inside, there were spirit dew, spirit honey, and spirit beast milk.

As the father of over a hundred children, he had long ago prepared a storage bag specifically for storing food for his kids.

After preparing the beast milk, Lu Changsheng skillfully fed his child.

However, at this age, the child was already able to hold the milk bottle herself.

Lu Miaoge watched Lu Changsheng feeding their child, her expression warm and gentle, before heading to the Talisman room to create Talismans.

She had successfully created a top-grade Talisman last year.

However, the success rate of creating Talismans was still not high.

Creating top-grade Talismans was still in the deficit stage.

Regarding Talismans, Lu Changsheng naturally had some guidance to offer.

But the effect of such guidance was limited, and it ultimately depended on oneself.

This made Lu Changsheng feel that teaching his child to create Talismans and puppets would be quite difficult in the future.

It would require a lot of investment in the early stages, and it would be hard to cultivate without innate talent.

As Lu Changsheng watched his daughter quietly drinking her milk, he suddenly sensed something.

He took out a Talisman from his storage bag.

The Talisman had a faint, flowing spirit light.

“Xiyue has arrived at Hongye Valley’s streets.”

This was a communication Talisman.

As long as the corresponding transmission Talisman was activated, the communication Talisman would respond.

However, this was only a first-grade communication Talisman, and its sensing range was limited.

So Lu Changsheng immediately knew that Xiao Xiyue had arrived at Hongye Valley’s streets.

He immediately went to the Talisman room and told Lu Miaoge, who was creating Talismans, that he was going out.

Then, he carried his daughter towards the exit of Hongye Valley’s streets.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the exit of the streets.

He immediately saw, not far away, Xiao Xiyue, dressed in white, with a tall and slender figure, an elegant and refined aura, and a cold, proud demeanor.

“Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng approached her, calling out to Xiao Xiyue.

When the two of them parted ways previously, Xiao Xiyue had mentioned that it was awkward to address each other as friends.

So, naturally, their way of addressing each other had also changed.

“Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue, with her elegant and refined aura, looked at Lu Changsheng, and her calm and collected beautiful eyes immediately revealed a gentle expression, with a hint of a smile.

“Is this also your daughter?”

Xiao Xiyue saw Lu Changsheng carrying Lu Qingzhu, who was holding a milk bottle, and asked.

She knew that Lu Changsheng had many wives and children.

But she didn’t expect that Lu Changsheng would be carrying a child while coming to the streets.

It left her at a loss for words.

All she could say was that Lu Changsheng really loved children.

“That’s right, this is my daughter Lu Qingzhu.”

“Little Qingzhu, this is your Aunt Xiyue.”

Lu Changsheng introduced them with a calm and natural expression.

“Hee hee, Auntie.”

The little girl, holding her milk bottle, stared blankly for a moment, then said in a sweet and childish tone.

In Qingzhu Mountain, there were many aunts, so she would also call out to them.

But her pronunciation was still not clear.

“Ah, so cute.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at the little girl drinking her milk and smiled faintly.

One reason was that the child was indeed cute.

Another reason was that she loved the whole family.

Then, the two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into Hongye Valley’s streets.

However, just as they were chatting, a hidden figure in the void suddenly appeared.

“Is it him!?”

A beautiful, dreamlike gaze, full of shock, surprise, shame, anger, and incredulity, looked at Lu Changsheng.

It was as if Duan Yu had just discovered that his beloved was actually his sister, born to the same father but different mothers.

But the result was that he wasn’t born to his biological father, but was the product of his mother’s infidelity.

“How could Xiyue’s emotional tribulation be him!?”

Yun Wanshang, dressed in a colorful skirt, stood quietly in mid-air.

Looking at the young man chatting and laughing with her disciple, her expression was shocked and complex.

Her heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, with all sorts of emotions mixed together.

After Xiao Xiyue left, she was still worried about her disciple’s emotional tribulation.

She also wanted to see how her disciple’s chosen emotional tribulation partner would turn out.

After all, this emotional tribulation would affect her disciple’s future.

As her master, she naturally had to take care of her disciple.

So, she followed Xiao Xiyue from behind, preparing to take a look and intervene if necessary.

But she never expected that her disciple’s emotional tribulation partner would be the same Qi Refining cultivator who had a one-night stand with her.

This made her brain go haywire, filled with shock, surprise, shame, anger, and killing intent.

A moment later.

“It’s really fate playing tricks on people.”

Yun Wanshang looked at the two people walking away, sighed helplessly.

Just now, her emotions were in turmoil, and she even had the thought of killing Lu Changsheng with one sword.

But thinking back to the past, she couldn’t blame Lu Changsheng.

The cause was with herself.

And she couldn’t do such a thing.

Lu Changsheng was just with Xiao Xiyue, and she had no reason to kill him.

Moreover, from Xiao Xiyue’s attitude towards Lu Changsheng, it was clear that she had already developed feelings for him.

Emotions were unpredictable.

Now that the emotional tribulation had begun, she could only rely on Xiao Xiyue to get out of it herself.

In this situation, if she were to kill Lu Changsheng in a fit of anger, it would be equivalent to cutting off her disciple’s future.

“Alas.”

Yun Wanshang sighed deeply again.

Her emotions were complex and difficult to express.

She had originally thought that if Lu Changsheng was talented enough, he could reach Foundation Establishment in 20-30 years, and she could give him a chance.

She could take him to the Blue Cloud Sect to cultivate.

Forming a true core was difficult, but with her guidance, forming a fake core was still possible.

This way, he would also have the qualifications to become her Dao partner.

In the future, relying on the spiritual energy she left in Lu Changsheng’s body, the two of them could dual cultivate and make further progress.

But now, seeing Lu Changsheng become Xiao Xiyue’s emotional tribulation partner, her plan was ruined.

Even if Xiao Xiyue mastered the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique and forgot about this emotional tribulation, as her master, she couldn’t do such a thing again.

Otherwise, it would be a joke for a master and disciple to be together!

She, Yun Wanshang, a Core Formation true person, wouldn’t want to lose face!

“But didn’t I just see him carrying a child? Has he already given up on cultivation?”

Yun Wanshang thought back to Lu Changsheng carrying a child and frowned slightly.

Cultivators who could maintain their primordial yin and yang without breaking them would have some advantages in their early cultivation.

This is also why many cultivators don’t consider marriage at a young age.

“He’s only an eight-grade Spirit Root. Even if he obtained an opportunity and broke through his cultivation, wanting to establish a foundation is still extremely difficult.”

“Moreover, Xiyue went to Qingzhu Mountain earlier, and I remember that Qingzhu Mountain is a Foundation Establishment cultivator family. If this child is a family member, his innate talent is indeed mediocre, and he can only marry and have children to live a peaceful life.”

Yun Wanshang muttered to herself.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had already married and had children, she felt a sense of loss and discontent in her heart.

“Hmph, he’s already married and had children, yet he’s still so close to Xiyue!”

Yun Wanshang’s face revealed a hint of coldness.

“No, wait, Xiyue said that she was able to escape from the Foundation Establishment tribulation thanks to him.”

“And Xiyue asked me to refine the Golden Crow Pill for him, which means he’s preparing for his Foundation Establishment. This shows that his cultivation has already reached the late Qi Refining stage.”

The next moment, Yun Wanshang suddenly looked up, realizing something was off.

Because Lu Changsheng had the Radiant Harmony Jade given to him by her.

So earlier, she hadn’t noticed Lu Changsheng’s cultivation situation.

Due to the various emotions swirling in her heart, she had forgotten about this matter.

Now that she thought about it, she felt a sense of surprise and doubt.

Looking at the two who were about to leave, she quickly followed them.

Then, she looked at Lu Changsheng, her eyes shining like the stars, with a radiant aura surrounding her.

“Qi Refining 9th Stage!”

“And his spiritual energy is extremely powerful, with a hint of overbearing dominance.”

“His physical body is also extremely vigorous, like a demonic beast.”

“This…”

Yun Wanshang cast a detection spell, immediately sensing Lu Changsheng’s cultivation situation.

Her heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

“This has only been eight years?”

“An 8th-grade Spirit Root, breaking through from Qi Refining 6th Stage to Qi Refining 9th Stage in just eight years.”

“This speed is barely acceptable, but his cultivation situation is not only powerful in spiritual energy, but also has a clear dual cultivation of body and spirit.”

Yun Wanshang’s eyes were filled with shock and incredulity.

If this situation were to occur with a talented disciple from the Blue Cloud Sect, it would be quite normal.

But on Lu Changsheng, it felt unbelievable.

“Ah!”

Yun Wanshang looked at Lu Changsheng, confirming that she hadn’t misseen, and let out a long sigh.

As a Core Formation true person, she usually remained calm and composed, even when faced with Xiao Xiyue’s matters, she only slightly furrowed her brow and revealed a cold intent.

But today, when seeing Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang’s expression changed twice in a short period, and her heart was filled with a thousand waves of emotions.

Just as Yun Wanshang was observing Lu Changsheng’s situation.

Lu Changsheng also had a faint feeling of being watched, like a needle poking his back.

He suddenly turned his head, then looked around.

But there were only a few scattered pedestrians around.

And nothing out of the ordinary.

But Lu Changsheng trusted his intuition.

He knew that this faint, needle-like feeling was definitely someone watching him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this feeling.

“Could it be the Yu Family’s elder?”

Because of the previous incident with the Yu Family’s third young master, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but suspect the Yu Family.

He remembered that the Yu Family’s elder was currently residing in the city.

But he felt it was unlikely.

Why would they observe him so secretly?

Moreover, he had been in Hongye Valley for so long, and if the Yu Family’s elder wanted to observe him, they would have done so already.

It was impossible to wait until now.

He looked at Xiao Xiyue again.

Suspecting that someone might be watching Xiao Xiyue again.

“Changsheng, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Xiyue asked, seeing that Lu Changsheng was acting strangely.

“I just had a faint feeling that someone was watching me in secret.”

“Xiyue, did you encounter anything unusual on your way here?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t look around, his expression unchanged, as he transmitted his voice.

“Changsheng, are you saying someone is following me?”

“I didn’t notice anything unusual on my way here.”

Xiao Xiyue heard this and immediately understood Lu Changsheng’s implication, also becoming vigilant and observing their surroundings.

“Is that so.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Knowing that Xiao Xiyue had cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.

In terms of spiritual awareness, Xiao Xiyue was even more sensitive than himself.

Since Xiao Xiyue hadn’t noticed anything unusual.

It meant that the person was unrelated to Xiao Xiyue.

Or perhaps the person’s cultivation was extremely high, so Xiao Xiyue didn’t notice anything on the way.

“Changsheng, let’s meet again later.”

At this time, Xiao Xiyue’s expression changed, as if she had thought of something, and she pressed her lips together, saying.

They immediately walked in the direction of the city exit.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng saw Xiao Xiyue suddenly leaving and didn’t know what it meant.

But he immediately guessed that Xiao Xiyue must have realized something.

“Okay, I’ll send the child back too.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said aloud.

Preparing to send his daughter back and have Lu Miaoge take care of her.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, it would be inconvenient to carry the child.

“Quite vigilant and alert.”

“It seems that Xiyue has also guessed that it’s me.”

On the side of the street, Yun Wanshang, who was hiding her figure, looked at the two who had separated, her expression returning to normal.

Knowing that her actions had made Lu Changsheng vigilant and alert.

And had led Xiao Xiyue to guess that the person watching in secret was herself.

“Xiyue, it’s your master.”

So as not to frighten her disciple, Yun Wanshang didn’t hide it and directly transmitted her voice to her disciple.

“Master, how did you come here?”

Xiao Xiyue heard her master’s voice and also let out a sigh of relief, speaking softly.

As if muttering to herself.

But Yun Wanshang could clearly hear this voice.

She spoke straightforwardly: “Previously, you encountered danger during your training, and the matter of the emotional tribulation is very important, so I was worried about you and came to take a look.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Xiao Xiyue lightly nodded, understanding her master’s concern.

“You find a place, Master has something to ask you.”

Yun Wanshang continued to transmit her voice.

“Yes, Master.”

Immediately, Xiao Xiyue saw an inn nearby.

She went in and booked a room.

Yun Wanshang also followed, invisible to others, and appeared in the room with Xiao Xiyue.

“Master.”

Xiao Xiyue saw Yun Wanshang and immediately bowed her hands in respect.

“Was that man earlier your emotional tribulation?”

Yun Wanshang’s expression was calm as she asked aloud.
