“Second Miss?”

Lu Changsheng, hearing this, immediately realized he had thought too much.

It was not the eldest miss, Lu Miaoge.

But rather her younger sister.

The one he had once seen at the heart of the bamboo lake, the black silk.

It made sense, after all, Lu Miaoge was not only beautiful and talented but also a Talisman Master. Under normal circumstances, how could the Lu Family possibly marry her off, especially to him?

But marrying off the Second Miss to him was no small matter, either.

After all, this Second Miss not only possessed a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root but was also the daughter of the Patriarch of the Lu Family.

It seemed his advancement to First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master and the display of his talent for Talisman Making had convinced the Lu Family to invest heavily, intent on binding him completely to the Lu Family.

Thinking of that memorable pair of black silk high heels and long legs, Lu Changsheng nodded his head and cupped his hands, saying, “Lu Bo, I will make sure to arrive on time for the appointment tomorrow.”

Even if he guessed that the Lu Family was trying to deepen the bond with him, to completely tie him to the Lu Family, Lu Changsheng did not feel any repulsion.

In fact, he was quite willing.

It wasn’t because of the Second Miss’s looks, or her black silk high heels and long legs.

But rather, his journey outside during the three-year agreement made him realize that the world was far more dangerous and difficult than he had imagined.

With his temperament, he would have a hard time making his way in such a world.

Not to mention, he now had a family to look after.

So, Lu Changsheng had completely come to terms with his situation.

Since he had the System of Many Sons and Blessings, he would just honestly bide his time with the Lu Family.

Lurking until the children were numerous, grown-up, and he had made a breakthrough in the Foundation Establishment Stage, only then would he consider the future.

Even though it was like living under someone else’s roof, because of his talent for Talisman Making, the Lu Family had treated him well over the years since he moved to Qing Zhu Valley.

They were indeed a proper Cultivation family.

It was certainly safer than being alone outside.

If he were to marry the daughter of the Patriarch of the Lu Family this time, he would not only have a wife with a Spiritual Root, but he would also be truly seen as one of their own by the Lu Family.

He could then live in the Lu Family more at ease, without any worries for the future.

As for leaving the Lu Family, he still harbored thoughts of leaving and establishing himself independently, but that seemed quite far off for now, and Lu Changsheng was too lazy to think too much about it.

When that time came, if the Lu Family treated him well, he would not mistreat them even if he decided to leave.

“Good.”

Lu Bo affectionately patted Lu Changsheng on the shoulder and said, “The matter with the Second Miss has already been settled by the Family Head, so as long as you perform well tomorrow, there shouldn’t be any problems, and the matter will be considered settled.”

“Yes.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, acknowledging the words and seeing Lu Bo out the door.

However, his mind involuntarily recalled Lu Miaohuan’s noble and icy demeanor.

Thinking of how he had been scolded for taking a couple of extra looks at the black silk, being chastised with ‘Look again and I’ll gouge out your eyes.’

He felt that the Second Miss might not be easy to serve, and the meeting tomorrow was really hard to predict.

“I hope the Family Head did settle things well and that the Second Miss has restrained her temperament a bit, not as bad as I imagined.”

“Otherwise, even with a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root, daughter of the Family Head, I would have to let it go.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and let it out, returning to the courtyard.

While he was quite willing to welcome this marriage, he was not about to lose his dignity and go begging to be married off, even if it meant having a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root for his child’s mother.

Setting aside his pride and dignity, as someone with four wives, six concubines, and two cherished mistresses, he really didn’t have the mental spirit or energy to cater to someone temperamental.

Adding such a wife to the inner courtyard could easily disturb the balance and peace of his harem and disrupt the proper family hierarchy.

“Husband, did Lu Bo visit with news of some happiness?”

At that moment, one of his wives looked towards Lu Changsheng and inquired.

“Hehe, your husband has made a breakthrough in the Talisman Path recently and has been promoted to a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master,”

“So Lu Bo came over to discuss some matters with me,”

Lu Changsheng said.

He did not mention that Lu Bo had come to discuss matters of a matchmaking engagement.

After all, telling his wives that he was going on a blind date tomorrow would feel very awkward.

That was something to be discussed only once it was certain.

“What, my husband has been promoted to a Middle Grade First Rank Talisman Master!”

“My husband is truly remarkable!”

“My husband has been promoted to a Middle Grade Talisman Master, doesn’t this mean he could become a Second Grade Talisman Master in the future!”

“My husband has worked hard these days!”

The other wives and concubines nearby also heard this and their beautiful eyes lit up with surprise and delight, as they looked admiringly at Lu Changsheng, their eyes filled with worship and love.

Ever since Lu Changsheng became a Talisman Master, they, too, had learned something about the profession.

They knew that each step forward was very difficult; now that Lu Changsheng had advanced further, it meant that his status in the Lu Family would also rise.

And they, too, would bask in their husband’s glory.

Several children nearby, though not understanding the meaning, saw the expressions of their mothers and also joined in the clamor: “Wow, daddy is amazing! Daddy is so powerful!”

Lu Changsheng, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but smile on his face.

It felt truly nice to be looked at with such admiration and love by his wives and children.

It greatly satisfied his sense of male pride.

That night.

Afterward!

Afterward!!

Afterward!!!

Afterward

Lu Changsheng held the women who were snuggling up next to him, tender and extraordinarily proactive tonight, and thought that he really needed to pay more attention to the aspect of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

The next morning, Lu Bo, as if worried that Lu Changsheng might forget or oversleep, came to call him.

Lu Changsheng got up and, after a brief preparation, went with Lu Bo toward the Bamboo Heart Lodge.

The Bamboo Heart Lodge was not far from the Heart of Bamboo Lake, surrounded by green grass and blooming flowers, creating an exceptionally beautiful environment.

Apart from the lively trading meet on the first day of the month, it was usually very quiet and peaceful.

“The Second Miss will arrive soon, just wait a moment.”

“Actually, the Second Miss has quite a simple nature; just be gentle with her and go along with what she says,” Lu Bo said earnestly to Lu Changsheng before leaving.

He went outside to keep watch, to avoid anyone coming nearby and affecting the match-making meeting.

After all, this matter was something that Lu Yuanding took very seriously and had entrusted to him.

Lu Changsheng nodded at the words and sat down by the stone table in the courtyard, taking out a set of purple sand tea ware to brew Spiritual Tea, calmly waiting.

After about half an hour, Lu Changsheng heard a melodious and rhythmical ‘tap tap tap’ sound.

Looking towards the sound, he saw a tall and majestic figure, as proud and aloof as a peacock, gracefully walking toward him.

It was his match-making partner for the day, Lu Miaohuan.

Today, Lu Miaohuan had also clearly dolled herself up, her face showing a delicate makeup.

Dressed in a form-fitting dark gown interwoven with deep blue, decorated with twinkling stars that seemed to flow, as though she was draped in the night sky decked with stars, she was stunningly glamorous.

Compared to the black gown with golden embroidery he had seen on her last time, this dark blue starry gown was much more conservative, revealing only her elegant white swan neck and a hint of her clavicle and delicate shoulder.

Yet the curvaceous figure outlined under the gown still led one’s thoughts astray.

“Tap tap tap”

Lu Miaohuan walked elegantly, her black silk-clad legs occasionally visible beneath the hem of her gown. Her skirt hem above her beautifully shod feet in sumptuous high heels matched her gown, shimmering like the starry nebula, with every step echoing a crisp ‘tap’, leaving traces of starlight in their wake.

Lu Changsheng simply watched her approach, one graceful step at a time.

Beauty, after all, should be appreciated.

If he were to ignore her deliberate preparation, not to properly enjoy it, would it not be a disservice to her efforts?

It must be said, when beauty reaches a certain level, it’s all about the carriage and grace.

The Second Miss before him, with her tall and graceful figure, her face stunning and noble, radiated an aura of aloofness and dignity from within, a commanding presence that involuntarily captivated onlookers, inducing feelings of unworthiness.

Yet at the same time, that very aura could spark a strong desire to conquer.

“Lu Changsheng pays his respects to Miss Miaohuan.”

Lu Changsheng returned his gaze, stood up, and greeted Lu Miaohuan with a bow, radiating a refined and cultured demeanor.

Despite the stunning allure of the lady before him, striking a chord with his aesthetics, Lu Changsheng, after all, had weathered many storms and was greatly seasoned; he possessed the composure and mental spirit that came with his experience.
