Chapter 208: Chapter 112: Second Master, the Big Boss is in Trouble!_3

He actually refused me!

To think, when he first received the task and saw the conditions the family was offering, he even had doubts.

He felt the terms were too generous.

It was only after the family told him about Lu Changsheng’s talent in the Talisman Path that he reluctantly accepted.

But he never expected that at this very moment, Lu Changsheng would actually refuse.

It left him completely baffled as to what was going on.

“Lu Daoist, you might not be fully aware of the current situation of the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain,”

“I can tell you directly that the lifespan of the Lu Family Ancestor is likely within these three to five years.”

“And the Lu Family has absolutely no way to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir, definitely unable to produce a new Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, and their previous attempts to find one in the Purple Shadow Secret Realm were fruitless.”

“Under such circumstances, the downfall of the Lu Family is already destined.”

“Why must you….”

Yu Ningyuan spoke up, his tone no longer as polite.

However, before he could finish, a look of sudden realization dawned on Yu Ningyuan’s face.

He understood why Lu Changsheng had refused him.

“I see, it must be because of your wives and concubines,”

“Since all your wives, concubines, and children are with the Lu Family!”

“Rest assured, Lu Daoist, as long as you join the Yu Family, when the Lu Family falls, my Yu Family can step in and try our best to protect your wives, concubines, and children.”

“Moreover, I’ve heard that you, Lu Daoist, are fond of the company of women, never happy without them, which is just like me.”

“As long as you are willing to join the Yu Family, you can enjoy all my thirty-six concubines and seventy-two maids.”

Yu Ningyuan said with a confident smile on his face.

“….”

Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, didn’t even know what to say for a moment.

This Third Young Master of the Yu Family had rendered him silent.

He didn’t know whether to call this Third Young Master of the Yu Family generous or something else.

He just couldn’t keep up with the other’s train of thought.

“Lu Daoist, what do you think?”

“If it comes to that, your children born in the future, I will let them recognize you as their godfather!”

“Or, if you really have someone you like, I can give you a few of my concubines.”

Thinking he had seen through Lu Changsheng’s thoughts and confident of victory, Yu Ningyuan spoke based on the information he had about Lu Changsheng.

He also thought about the great sacrifice he was making to get Lu Changsheng to join the Yu Family, and how his own family would surely reward him handsomely upon his return.

“Lu has no intention of betraying the Lu Family at the moment, and also thanks Young Master Yu for his hospitality.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t know what to say.

He felt he couldn’t quite connect with this Young Master of the Yu Family.

If the other party had continued to be as polite as before, treating the deal as a gentleman’s agreement and parting as friends upon its failure,

But with things as they were, he really didn’t know what to say and thus took his leave.

“Lu Changsheng, you…”

Seeing that he had offered such great benefits and yet Lu Changsheng didn’t appreciate them, a hint of anger appeared on Yu Ningyuan’s face, as he wanted to say something.

But remembering that they were still in the marketplace, he ultimately held back.

He just snorted coldly and put the items from the table back into his storage bag.

“Brother Lu, I’m truly sorry for this time.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng walk down the stairs alone,

Yu Maocheng, waiting downstairs, guessed the outcome.

Knowing that the conversation hadn’t gone well, he apologized with a bow.

“It’s nothing.”

Lu Changsheng returned the bow and left the Jade Meal Pavilion without saying anything else.

“I wonder if what this Third Young Master of the Yu Family said earlier was true or false.”

After leaving the Jade Meal Pavilion, Lu Changsheng thought about some of the things the Young Master of the Yu Family had said.

About the current situation of the Lu Family.

He knew the situation of the Lu Family was not optimistic,

But the words of this Young Master of the Yu Family made it sound as if the Lu Family was on the brink of destruction.

He even vaguely felt that once the Lu Family Ancestor died, not only the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley,

But also the Yu Family of Bi Lake Mountain would come to take a share of the spoils.

“Whether this Young Master Yu’s words are true or not, I must make proper arrangements for my wives and concubines,”

Lu Changsheng reflected in his mind.

As for himself, he wasn’t too worried,

Having the power to protect himself.

The main consideration is still regarding wives, concubines, and children.

If a crisis falls upon the Lu Family, how should I take all my wives, concubines, and children to safety?

In this moment, Lu Changsheng clearly recognized why most cultivators are alone.

Because most of the time, being a loner and walking the Great Dao alone is indeed far better than having a family to look after.

As for me, it can’t even be said that I’m just taking a family along anymore.

It’s more like moving a small clan.

However, since I’ve chosen this path, the path of “many children bring much happiness,” Lu Changsheng naturally wouldn’t complain about the trouble at this time.

Feeling that there are too many wives and children.

“It’s strength, in the end, it’s still a lack of strength,”

“If I had the strength of Foundation Establishment, none of these matters would be a problem,”

Lu Changsheng let out a sigh, deeply feeling the importance of strength.

His own strength was only sufficient for self-preservation.

Yet it was not enough to protect all his wives and children.

“Regarding the wives, I’ll think about it after returning to Qingzhu Mountain in two months, and see how to arrange things,”

“It’s just that having met this young master of the Yu Family, I should inform the Lu Family about it,”

“Otherwise, once the Lu Family finds out later, they might harbor some suspicions,”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.

The issue of the Bai Family’s young master pursuing Lu Miaoge earlier,

And this young master of the Yu Family offering a high price to poach someone, he felt that the Lu Family was probably facing quite a few such incidents.

Since I’ve encountered it myself, it’s best to let the Lu Family know in advance, to avoid any misunderstandings later on.

After all, it’s a matter that can be explained with just a few words.

After nightfall,

Lu Changsheng left the Spiritual Talisman Shop and headed to the Lu Family’s large courtyard in the Eastern District.

He paid his respects to the Second Elder and spoke of today’s events.

“Changsheng, you’re considerate,”

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, the Second Elder revealed a smile and patted his shoulder, saying,

“The Yu Family sent someone to poach you, surely offering a significant price. Your refusal to be swayed shows that our Lu Family didn’t misjudge you,”

“Rest assured, our Lu Family has been standing on Qingzhu Mountain for hundreds of years, and we are not so easily toppled,”

The Second Elder declared.

“Second Elder, if not for the Lu Family, I, Lu Changsheng, would not be where I am today,”

“I will surely advance or retreat together with the Lu Family!”

Lu Changsheng said with a firm expression.

He didn’t care whether the Second Elder’s words were true or false, whether the Lu Family’s situation was good or bad.

Since he was still with the Lu Family, he must maintain the proper attitude.

“Very good, very good, as long as you have this intention, that’s enough,”

Seeing this, the Second Elder nodded with relief and patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder again.

Meanwhile,

In the Great Dream Immortal City,

“The Lu Family Ancestor of Qingzhu Mountain has only a few years left to live,”

Meng Xiaochan learned of a piece of news, her eyes flickering with contemplation before she left her cave dwelling and departed from the Great Dream Immortal City.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

The incident with the third young master of the Yu Family was just a minor interlude for Lu Changsheng.

It hadn’t affected his life in any significant way.

He continued his daily routine of cultivation, talisman making, working, and assisting Xiao Qing with dual cultivation.

Although he said he was helping Xiao Qing with dual cultivation, he himself also benefited quite a bit.

Since something needed to be done anyway—cultivation was joyful and also improved his cultivation level.

With his slight control, Xiao Qing did not get pregnant.

But two other maids did.

Lu Changsheng didn’t mind.

After all, he couldn’t just stop having children because the Lu Family’s situation was not looking good, could he?

These maids in the Nine Dragons Market, the affairs of the Lu Family, would not affect them here.

On this day,

Lu Changsheng was meditating on the second floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop when suddenly a rush of panicky voices came,

“Second Master, something terrible has happened. The First Master has been gravely injured, unconscious, and might not make it!”
