Did Chu Qingyi return because of this matter?
But even with all his tricks and cards, that little thief shouldnât have been able to cause such an upheaval in the Yiming Ghost Sect, right?
"Hmm..."
Chu Qingyi pressed her red lips together and recounted the events at the Yiming Ghost Sect, but she didnât mention Lu Changshengâs situation.
After all, her master would come to know about it sooner or later.
"Yangming True Master, Third Rank Top Level Demon King..."
Yun Wanshangâs beautiful eyes were as calm as water, but she said nothing.
She didnât want to ask directly and affect Chu Qingyiâs Dao Heart in case her guesses were incorrect.
She planned to confirm the details about the Yiming Ghost Sect matter later.
"Alright, since youâre back, take a good rest on this trip."
Yun Wanshangâs peerless and breathtaking beauty softened slightly, as her jade-like hand gently stroked her discipleâs black silky hair, speaking in a gentle tone.
Even though the other party had already broken through to Core Formation, in her heart, she was still the little girl from before.
"Master, disciple takes her leave."
Chu Qingyi felt a weight lift off her shoulders, relieved at last.
She had never lied to her master.
But because of Lu Changsheng, she began to hide things from her master, feeling quite guilty inside.
"Alas..."
As she watched Chu Qingyi leave, wearing a colorful palace gown, the peerlessly elegant Yun Wanshang suddenly sighed.
Even though she didnât point it out directly.
Seeing her disciple like this, she was eighty to ninety percent sure in her heart.
Because this disciple never lied to her before.
Now, being this cautious, how could it escape the notice of someone who had watched her grow up?
"Damn little thief!"
Under Yun Wanshangâs sleeve, her fair jade hand clenched tightly, a wave of irritation surged in her heart.
For some reason, whenever she heard news about Lu Changsheng, she would feel inexplicably irritable and restless, thinking about herself, her disciple, and the matters involving Lu Changsheng.
But thinking back on what Chu Qingyi just said, if that Yangming True Master was indeed Lu Changsheng... it would be too shockingly extraordinary, wouldnât it?
How long had it been since that little thief had grown to this level...
Across the whole Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, no one else could compare.
Even the Xuanjian True Monarch, hailed as a once-in-a-millennium talent in Jiang Country, who had taken the Heavenly Sword Sect to another level, paled in comparison to Lu Changshengâs growth.
"Hoo..."
A moment later, Yun Wanshang took a deep breath, dispelling the distracting thoughts from her mind.
...
Bi Lake Mountain.
During these days, Lu Changsheng was accompanying his wives and concubines at home.
That day, after hearing about his son Lu Lingxiao sparring with Lu Qingshan, he paused, pondered slightly, then called his son Lu Lingxiao over.
"Xiaoâer, come, let me see how much you have progressed these days."
Lu Changsheng looked at his son in front of him, whose face was firm and heroic, and spoke up.
"Yes, Father!"
Lu Lingxiaoâs eyes sparkled;
his whole body ignited in black flames, surging with momentum, and he struck towards Lu Changsheng. .
"Use your full strength, let me see your treasure tree."
Lu Changsheng raised his hand, directly dispelling his sonâs attack, and said solemnly.
"Boom!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxiao did not hesitate, unleashing his Dragon Roar Origin, and a Golden Fire Vine Tree appeared in his hand. His aura was powerful and domineering, sweeping toward Lu Changsheng.
"Hmm, not bad."
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly upon seeing this.
Refining the Golden Fire Vine Tree into a magical treasure embryo by Hong Lian wasnât a waste.
He thought to himself that the Sun God Stone he had previously acquired paired well with the Golden Fire Vine Tree, and he could use them to further this treasure treeâs refinement.
Furthermore, he had acquired several Golden Thunder Bamboos in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, which could also be utilized to refine this treasure tree.
After briefly assessing his sonâs strength, Lu Changsheng stopped and said: "You can later find your brother Quanzhen to seek advice in combat."
Although Lu Quanzhen was severely injured and couldnât use mana.
His many years of experience and combat knowledge outside made him suitable as a tutor at home, guiding the Lu Family disciples.
"Yes, Father."
When Lu Lingxiao was still a child, Lu Quanzhen had already left on his travels, leaving no impression on him.
However, since his father spoke this way, he understood that his brother surely had extraordinary qualities.
"Though Lingxiaoâs nature lacks the overbearing arrogance of âI alone am supreme,â he possesses an indomitable spirit of never conceding, âno one else but me.â"
"If the Son of Heaven Qi Observation seed were given to him, he would surely excel dramatically, becoming the Lu Familyâs Nascent Soul Seed, standing out among his peers!"
Lu Changsheng pondered, preparing to give the Son of Heaven Qi Observation seed to Lu Lingxiao.
Such a seed could create a genius if given to ordinary disciples!
But it maximizes its effect when given to talented children.
Thus, Lu Changsheng considered his remarkably talented children at home.
Among the current Lu Family disciples, aside from Lu Qingshan and Nangong Yaoyao, Lu Lingxiaoâs talent was the foremost!
Of course, there was also his favoritism involved.
He couldnât deny his bias towards the wives Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaoyun, Xiao Xiyue, and Ling Zixiao.
That bias extended to their children, causing him to think first of Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, and Lu Lingxiao upon receiving this seed.
Although among these, Lu Lingxiaoâs character fit the most.
"Lingxiaoâs personality is a bit like his motherâs. Deep down, thereâs indeed some domineering arrogance, but Lu Familyâs upbringing has suppressed that character..."
Lu Changsheng knew that his wife Ling Zixiao, despite appearing frail in her early years, carried a majestic aura.
Yet, hindered by the Dragon Roar Physique, her sharpness was restrained.
And Lu Lingxiao, influenced by the Lu Familyâs gentle upbringing, lacked that sharpness and arrogance, which was understandable.
He didnât directly give the Son of Heaven Qi Observation seed to Lu Lingxiao, choosing to discuss it with his wife first.
After all, while the seed had its benefits, its influence on oneâs character was significant as well.
.....
"The Son of Heaven seed!?"
Ling Zixiao was surprised upon hearing her husbandâs words.
She hadnât expected the cultivation world to house such Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
However, the next moment, a feeling of joy and gratitude welled up in her heart.
After acquiring such a divine object, her husband chose to give it to their son, Lu Lingxiao, first.
"Indeed, this kind of seed has both advantages and disadvantages. It can turn a mediocre talent into a genius but will also have certain impacts on oneâs disposition..."
Lu Changsheng stated directly.
The significance of the seed was immense enough that, if known, it might attract covetous eyes from Immortal Sects or even Nascent Soul True Lords.
But after so many years of marriage, he trusted his wife completely.
"Arrogance, domineering, âI alone am supremeâ..."
Ling Zixiao muttered to herself, repeatedly mulling over this potential character impact.
In her view, compared to its benefits, the impact on character was negligible.
On one hand, their son already tended towards such traits.
Moreover, as a genius, who doesnât possess some level of sharpness and arrogance?
People like Lu Changsheng and Lu Pingâan were indeed rare and few.
If their son had that seed, a future as a Nascent Soul would genuinely be within reach!
"My lord, letâs leave this decision to Lingxiao himself." .
After pondering for a moment, Ling Zixiao took a deep breath and said.
She couldnât refuse herself, but after careful thought, she decided to let their son choose for himself.
