Chapter 192: 108: Father’s Friend!_3
Before long, the young girl tilted her neck back, her breathing quickened.
Afterwards.
Lu Changsheng gently caressed Xia Zhiyue, who was nestled in his arms, her face flushed red like mushy mud.
“Uncle Lu.”
Xia Zhiyue curled up in Lu Changsheng’s arms, her face brilliantly red, and called out with a somewhat hoarse and sweet voice.
“It’s alright, just rest well.”
Lu Changsheng cast a Cleansing Technique to clean the sweat and spoke with a gentle voice.
“Mm-hmm.”
The girl had been through so many ups and downs these past few days, and had been so busy that she was already mentally exhausted.
Having gone through such turmoil, she was even more worn out and soon fell asleep.
“Xia Long, my brother, you’ve really given me two huge gifts.”
Lu Changsheng looked at Xia Zhiyue’s delicate face, murmuring to himself.
Just now, Xia Zhiyue had divulged a piece of information to him.
She mentioned that she possesses a latent physique.
The probability of her future children having a Spiritual Root could be increased.
Thus, if Lu Changsheng wished, she could bear children for him.
Lu Changsheng had never had any aversion to Xia Zhiyue.
Now that she had come forward willingly, revealing such information, he was even less likely to refuse.
After all, such a physique was very likely the legendary Spiritual Body!
“Is it a Spirit Nurturing Physique, then?”
Lu Changsheng vaguely remembered seeing such a physical constitution among the different types of Spiritual Bodies.
However, the specifics were unclear to him.
Even Xia Zhiyue herself did not fully understand.
She only knew that her mother possessed such a physique.
It was the reason both she and her brother had Spiritual Roots.
The next day.
Lu Changsheng rode an Iron Feather Eagle, taking the siblings to Ruyi Prefecture to find Hong Yi.
It had been a few years since he last saw Hong Yi.
Moreover, he had some matters to discuss with Hong Yi this trip.
Four days later, the Iron Feather Eagle landed in a deserted place outside Ruyi County City.
Lu Changsheng took out a Communication Talisman to send a message to Hong Yi.
Then, he arrived in Ruyi County City with Xia Zhiyue and Xia Zhaoyang.
“Brother Lu, long time no see, your elegance has only increased with time.”
Hong Yi was waiting outside Ruyi County City, and immediately approached with a smile upon seeing Lu Changsheng.
He wore a Purple Gold Crown and a robe of purple silk, radiating nobility and dignity.
“Brother Hong seems well too.”
Lu Changsheng spoke with a smile as well.
Over the years, he had exchanged letters with Hong Yi.
Their reunion felt familiar, without any awkwardness.
After making sure Xia Zhiyue and Xia Zhaoyang were well settled,
the two went to the Ruyi Tower to catch up and chat.
During the conversation, Lu Changsheng informed Hong Yi about the siblings and asked him to look after them.
Hong Yi readily agreed, assuring Lu Changsheng that all would be well.
At the same time, Lu Changsheng also mentioned that next year he would start sending his children to the secular world.
He asked Hong Yi to help arrange for a big estate,
as well as martial masters, tutors, Protectors, and servants.
“Please rest assured, Brother Lu, I can take care of these trivial matters!”
Upon hearing this, Hong Yi was overjoyed.
Thanks to the talisman business with Lu Changsheng, his status within the Ruyi Marquis Mansion had risen continuously.
Now, the position of the crown prince was almost within his reach.
Now that Lu Changsheng was willing to settle his secular children at the Ruyi Marquis Mansion,
it showed that the tie between him and Lu Changsheng was thoroughly secure.
Naturally, he was extremely happy and willing.
“Don’t trouble yourself, Hong Brother. Oh, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask for your help with…”
Lu Changsheng then remembered Qu Zhenzhen’s matter.
He asked Hong Yi to investigate the force behind the old man who had killed Qu Zhenzhen’s family, the cultivator.
Qu Zhenzhen’s matter was something Lu Changsheng felt he now had the ability to handle.
Naturally, he wanted to solve the revenge for Qu Zhenzhen.
After all, she had given birth to three children for him, so it was the least he could do.
“No problem, this matter is not difficult for me. I’ll handle it
and will send someone to inform you immediately when there’s news.”
Hong Yi replied confidently.
“Thank you, Brother Hong. I didn’t bring any gifts this trip, so please accept these three talismans.”
Lu Changsheng took out three Superior Grade Talismans and handed them to Hong Yi.
These matters were naturally not worth the price of three Superior Grade Talismans.
However, when it came to reciprocation in relationships, he never let others feel shortchanged.
Especially after dealing with Hong Yi so many times, he knew him to be a trustworthy person.
So, giving a bit extra was a small price to pay for a good relationship.
“Brother Lu, you are being too generous. I gladly accept your kind gesture!”
Hong Yi accepted without any false modesty.
He understood that this benefit exchange was conducive to strengthening their relationship.
However, when he took the three talismans in his hand, he immediately felt something was amiss.
After a few glances, he was somewhat surprised and looked at Lu Changsheng incredulously, “Brother Lu, what are these talismans? They don’t look like Middle Grade ones. Could they possibly be…”
“That’s right, they are Superior Grade Talismans, the Golden Light Barrier Talisman, capable of blocking a strike from an Energy Refinement Late Stage.
I was fortunate enough to become a Superior Grade Talisman Master not long ago and made a few for self-defense.”
Lu Changsheng explained.
Beyond interpersonal transactions,
Lu Changsheng felt the need to subtly reveal some of his own strength and value.
Only by doing so could the interaction between the two remain stable and long-lasting.
“Superior Grade Talisman, Golden Light Barrier Talisman!”
“Brother Lu has advanced to a Superior Grade Talisman Master!”
Upon hearing this, Hong Yi was stunned and entirely amazed.
His mind was filled with shock, looking at Lu Changsheng in disbelief.
Initially, he had nurtured a good relationship with Lu Changsheng because he had seen Lu Changsheng’s extraordinary talent in the Talisman Path.
He had the potential to become a Superior Grade Talisman Master.
He wanted to establish a relationship early on with a Superior Grade Talisman Master.
It had only been five years,
and Lu Changsheng had advanced from a Lower Grade Talisman Master to a Superior Grade Talisman Master.
Such a pace was nothing short of astounding.
