Chapter 166 - 100: Let’s See if My Flying Sword is Sharp! (Reset)_3
I’d have to make arrangements for my wives, concubines, and children to be taken along.
But there’s an unavoidable issue when it comes to leaving the Lu Family,
and that’s the matter of the wives and concubines.
People like Qu Zhenzhen are naturally easy to talk to,
but it would be difficult to say the same about Lu Family’s daughters like Lu Miaoyun, Lu Lanshu, Lu Zi’er, Lu Qing’er, and so on.
Especially Lu Miaoyun.
Originally, when the Lu Family, the Fourth Elder gave Lu Miaoyun to me in marriage, it was to bind me to the Lu Family.
Now, if I wish to leave, it would certainly put my wife in a difficult position and create a hard choice.
When Lu Miaoyun heard this, she was slightly startled.
She immediately assumed that Lu Changsheng was feeling aggrieved because of the matter with Lu Miaoyang.
Worried about the incident involving Lu Miaoyang,
she said softly, “Husband, don’t overthink it. Let’s just tell Grandma, and it won’t be a big deal.”
“I’ve already spoken with the Family Head, and I believe the Family Head will have a decision.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
After the fight, he didn’t seek out the Fourth Elder but went directly to Lu Yuanding because he didn’t want to put the Fourth Elder in a difficult position,
and he didn’t want to trouble someone else to clean up his mess.
“Oh dear, husband, you think too much. Just go and talk to Grandma,” Lu Miaoyun insisted, coyly dragging Lu Changsheng to see the Fourth Elder.
“Alright, alright, let’s go,” Lu Changsheng said helplessly, smiling as he left with Lu Miaoyun.
He had a good idea of what Lu Miaoyun’s attitude was.
He guessed that unless it was a certain situation, Lu Miaoyun would definitely want to keep him in the Lu Family as much as possible.
“Sigh,” he sighed inwardly.
He knew leaving the Lu Family wasn’t going to be that simple.
Having been with the Lu Family for so many years, what bound him was no longer just a piece of paper.
There were also the many Lu Family wives and concubines, and the Lu Family’s kindness towards him.
Lu Changsheng was not a heartless, selfish person.
His heart clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.
He couldn’t simply leave abruptly and decisively at the moment when the Lu Family was about to face a crisis.
Although the Lu Family, the Fourth Elder, was good to him because he was valuable,
in any case, over the years, the Lu Family had treated him well and never wronged him.
In such a situation, now that the Lu Family was facing an impending crisis, if he were to leave at once, he would indeed struggle with it internally.
“This matter isn’t urgent. The affair concerning the Lu Family Ancestor still has many years to go.”
“As long as the Lu Family has another Foundation Establishment Cultivator emerge, these problems won’t exist anymore, and I can keep living peacefully in the Lu Family.”
“Moreover, as time goes by, my strength and methods can continue to improve.”
“As long as I have the power, many difficulties and problems will be easily resolved at that time.”
Lu Changsheng thought privately,
not dwelling too much on this subject.
Suddenly,
the two arrived at the residence of the Fourth Elder.
“Changsheng, Miaoyun, what brings you here?” the Fourth Elder queried quickly upon learning of their arrival.
She was dressed in a deep cyan garment of simple elegance, her black hair meticulously coifed and adorned with a jade hairpin, exuding a demeanor of dignified grace.
“Grandma,” Lu Miaoyun immediately approached, took the Fourth Elder’s hand, and began relating the events.
“Changsheng, since the incident has already happened, you don’t need to worry about this matter; nor should you dwell on it,” the Fourth Elder said warmly after listening to Lu Miaoyun.
“Leave it to Grandma to handle the family side of things.”
At this moment, a flicker of anger rose in her heart.
From her years of interaction, she could see that Lu Changsheng was a person who valued emotions.
He had begun to feel a sense of belonging to the Lu Family and was gradually integrating into it.
Yet now, with Lu Miaoyang causing such a commotion, the resulting situation led to thoughts of leaving the Lu Family in Lu Changsheng’s mind, which could not but infuriate her.
Others may not realize it, but as an elder of the Lu Family, she was very aware of the current situation.
To say that it was the calm before the storm was no overstatement.
It was a time when unity was needed to overcome the impending crisis.
How could she allow Lu Changsheng, a Talisman Master with exceptional talent, to harbor grievances and thoughts of departure?
After all, it was virtually certain that Lu Changsheng would become a Second Rank Talisman Master in the future.
It was just a matter of time.
If he could stay with the Lu Family indefinitely, he would certainly become one of the core high-level members in the future.
“Grandma, sorry to bother you,” Lu Changsheng said, cracking a smile.
He had only casually asked Lu Miaoyun a question,
kind of as a precautionary measure.
But now, through Lu Miaoyun’s actions, he had inadvertently given the Fourth Elder the wrong impression,
leading her to believe he was really leaving the Lu Family.
But this matter now was not something he could explain away.
Even if he made it clear it was just a casual question, she wouldn’t believe it.
*”You are family, there’s no need to be so formal with Grandma,”
“If you ever feel wronged, you can tell Grandma directly. Don’t ever keep it to yourself,” the Fourth Elder continued saying, with a kindly expression and a gentle tone.
“No, how could I feel wronged?” Lu Changsheng said somewhat helplessly,
not wishing to linger on the topic any longer.
Then, as if remembering something, he spoke up, “Speaking of which, Grandma, not long ago I was on the verge of successfully crafting a Superior Grade Talisman,
“But I always fell just short, and I couldn’t manage to successfully create one. Now that I have time, I’d like to ask for your guidance.”
Lu Changsheng said.
It had been nearly two months since he revealed himself as a Middle Grade Talisman Master,
and according to his plan, he was going to reveal himself as a Superior Grade Talisman Master on his next return,
which would be in three months.
But now that he was back and such an incident had occurred, Lu Changsheng thought it might be a good idea to advance the reveal of his Superior Grade Talisman Master status slightly.
