Chapter 45: Meeting the Second Young Miss

Qingzhu Valley.

Inside a quaint, elegantly designed building.

“Father, you’re actually making me marry Lu Changsheng!”

“You know well that Lu Changsheng is extremely lecherous. He’s married nine women from our Lu Family and even brings women from outside.”

“I heard he recently brought back two more flirty women, yet you still want me to marry him!?”

A coldly beautiful woman around eighteen or nineteen, wearing a black gauze dress, looked angrily at the Lu Family head.

“Huan’er, although Lu Changsheng is somewhat amorous, he’s excellent in other areas. He’s sincere and treats his wives and concubines very well, with much care and concern.”

“Besides, yesterday Lu Changsheng was promoted to a First-Tier mid-grade Talisman Master!”

“Since he came to our Lu Family over four years ago, he’s been involved in Talisman Making for just three and a half years.”

“In these three and a half years, our Lu Family hasn’t spent much on his training and guidance.”

“Being able to become a First-Tier mid-grade Talisman Master so quickly shows that his talent in Talisman Making is extraordinary, surpassing even your sister!”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll likely become a Second-Tier Talisman Master in the future. If you marry him, Father will be relieved.”

Lu Yuanshan Ding earnestly tried to persuade his daughter.

After mulling over the idea of marrying his daughter Lu Miaohuan to Lu Changsheng, it seemed more feasible.

So, after the meeting ended, he went to his daughter’s residence to propose the matter.

Hoping to convince her to marry Lu Changsheng.

“First-Tier mid-grade Talisman Master!?”

Lu Miaohuan was surprised hearing this.

As a young miss of the Lu Family and with her sister as a Talisman Master, she knew how remarkable it was for Lu Changsheng to become a First-Tier mid-grade Talisman Master under such conditions.

It’s no exaggeration to call him a Talisman Making genius.

No wonder her father wanted her to marry Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Changsheng truly becomes a Second-Tier Talisman Master, he’d be welcomed anywhere.

Even if he can’t reach the Second-Tier, becoming a First-Tier Talisman Master is impressive.

She knew that the Fourth Elder, who taught her sister Talisman Making, was a First-Tier Talisman Master.

They bring stable income to the Lu Family each year with high status.

Yet recalling stories about Lu Changsheng, and how he had once stared at her when she met him with her sister, she felt uneasy and unwilling.

Seeing his daughter’s reluctance, Lu Yuanshan Ding sighed and continued persuading.

“Huan’er, your mother passed early and I haven’t been strict with you, but this matter is sincere for your good. I hope you listen.”

“With Lu Changsheng becoming a First-Tier mid-grade Talisman Master and his consistent good behavior, the Lu Family decided to marry a girl with a Spirit Root to him to truly integrate him as our own.”

“Many elders wanted to marry their granddaughters to him; this priority was fought for by your father.”

“You aren’t young anymore. It’s time to consider marriage.”

Lu Yuanshan Ding was not just the Lu Family head at this moment, but a concerned father.

If Lu Miaohuan was as promising as Lu Miaoge, he wouldn’t worry bout her marriage.

After all, marriages are less common among cultivators.

“But Lu Changsheng is just a Ninth-Tier Spirit Root and has many wives…”

Lu Miaohuan uttered, lips pursed, noting her father’s demeanor.

She hadn’t expected her father to fight for an opportunity for her to marry Lu Changsheng.

After pondering, she understood her father’s reasoning.

Qingzhu Mountain hosts hundreds of Lu Family disciples.

The disciples, despite their Spirit Roots, often have limited futures.

At a certain age, they’re married off, linking with neighboring cultivation families.

This keeps fresh blood flowing in the cultivation families.

Lu Changsheng, entering Lu Family as a son-in-law, had been living here, proving himself to be half a Lu Family member.

Showing such Talisman Making talent, the elders gladly marry a girl with a Spirit Root to him, binding him to the family.

“Ninth-Tier Spirit Root doesn’t matter. With his Talisman talent, although Foundation Establishment is unlikely, reaching Late-Stage Qi Refining is possible.”

“A Late-Stage Qi Refining Second-Tier Talisman Master earns respect from Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

“Regarding the wives, don’t worry; they’re all ordinary women.”

“If you marry, you’ll be the main wife. With me, you won’t suffer.”

Lu Yuanshan Ding took advantage of her softened stance.

Lu Miaohuan kept silent, lips pursed.

Recalling Lu Changsheng, he didn’t seem so terrible.

With her allure, anyone would look twice, especially a lecher like Lu Changsheng.

Seeing his daughter’s apparent consent, Lu Yuanshan Ding smiled.

He warmly suggested, “Huan, I’ll invite Lu Changsheng tomorrow to Zhuxin Villa for you to meet him.”

“Alright.”

Lu Miaohuan responded faintly.

……

Lu Changsheng was in the backyard playing with children.

He had built many toys for them, including swings, slides, seesaws, trampolines, rocking horses, and toy cars.

A group of kids lined up, playing flights with him.

He used floating techniques to let them soar through the air.

Or they sat on rocking horses or toy cars while he used his magic to lift them, making them delighted and screaming.

Lu Changsheng heard from one of his wives that Uncle Lu had arrived.

He realized it must be a response about being a First-Tier Talisman Master.

He asked his wife to watch the kids and went quickly to the living room.

“Uncle Lu.”

Lu Changsheng greeted with a slight bow.

“Very good, very good,”

Uncle Lu nodded appreciatively at Lu Changsheng.

He hadn’t paid much attention before, but now saw him as quite a remarkable young man.

Lu Changsheng was puzzled by Uncle Lu’s demeanor.

“Lu Changsheng, the family head wants you to prepare to meet someone at Zhuxin Villa tomorrow.”

Uncle Lu said with a smile.

“What?”

“The family head wants me to prepare to meet someone tomorrow at Zhuxin Villa?”

Lu Changsheng was puzzled hearing this.

He thought showing his First-Tier Talisman Master status would improve his treatment in the Lu Family.

Unexpectedly, he was asked to meet someone?

However, Lu Changsheng quickly realized this meeting was unusual.

Seeing his expression, Uncle Lu added with a grin, “Yes, because of your status and performance these years, the family head plans to marry his daughter to you.”

Lu Changsheng was shocked and pleased.

He imagined the ethereal beauty of the eldest miss Lu Miaoge..

But his fantasy was shattered by Uncle Lu’s words.

“Meet her tomorrow and make a great impression. If it works out, you’ll be family.”

“Didn’t you want to have children with Spirit Roots? The second miss has a Sixth-Tier Spirit Root; marrying her means your children will likely have Spirit Roots.”

Uncle Lu said with a smile.

He already had a favorable opinion of Lu Changsheng.

Now that Lu Family had plans to fully integrate him, Uncle Lu treated him even more kindly, considering him family.
