Chapter 51: Lu Family’s Fourth Elder!

“Yun’r, you should live well with Changsheng and listen to him, alright?”

“Changsheng, Yun’r is my granddaughter. I’m entrusting her to you now, don’t let me down.”

The Fourth Elder said, looking at Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun.

Although this Fourth Elder was in her seventies or eighties, she did not look old at all.

She wore a deep green elegant dress, her black hair meticulously pinned up with a jade hairpin, her appearance plump and looked like a noblewoman in her thirties or forties.

Upon closer inspection, there were some strands of white hair at her temples, and a few crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes.

Yet, these signs of aging only added a strong sense of mature charm to her.

“Don’t worry, Grandma. Changsheng will certainly take good care of Yun’r and will not let her suffer any grievances.”

Lu Changsheng said respectfully.

Although it was a marriage of convenience.

Since they were married, he would naturally take his responsibilities seriously.

Lu Miaoyun also responded softy.

“Good, good, Grandma believes you. Work hard to let me hold a great-grandchild soon.”

The Fourth Elder said with a smile, placing their hands together.

Her demeanor was gentle and kind, but there was a faint authority in her words.

Lu Miaoyun’s cheeks flushed wih shyness at her words, lowering her head.

Lu Changsheng said calmly, “Yes, Changsheng will definitely work hard.”

He was also eager for Lu Miaoyun to become pregnant oon.

“Changsheng, I heard from Miaoge that you have been exploring Talisman Making on your own without guidance.”

“I will give lectures on Talisman Making at the end of each month. You are welcome to attend.”

“If you have any questions, whether in Talisman Making or cultivation, you can come to me.”

The Fourth Elder continued, her tone warm, like a loving, caring elder.

As the head of the Lu Family’s talisman affairs, she not only made talismans but also taught the Lu Family disciples, trying to cultivate new Talisman Masters.

After all, talents like Formation Techniques masters, pill refiners, Equipment Refiners, and Talisman Masters are always welcome in any family.

These skills have high barriers and require talent. She had only taught Lu Miaoge successfully..

Lu Miaoyun, her granddaughter,had also studied Talisman Making but lacked talent.

Lu Miaoyun’s marriage to Lu Chngsheng was achieved through her efforts.

As soon as Lu Changsheng married Lu Miaoyun, she intended to grom him into a Second-Tier Talisman Master for the Lu Family!

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng immediately cupped his hands, expressing his excitement.

He knew that the Fourth Elder was a First-Tier Talisman Master.

And she had the cultivation level of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

With her guidance in cultivation, there was no problem.

In terms of Talisman Making, although he didn’t need guidance, having her as a pretext would help him rapidly advance his skills.

Otherwise, progressing from a medium-level Talisman Master to a high-level one would take at least three to five years.

This time was rather daunting.

With the Fourth Elder as a pretext, he could hasten his progress.

“We’re family, no need to be so formal.”

“I am Miaoyun’s grandmother, and from now on, I’m also your grandmother. If you encounter any issues or difficulties, feel free to speak with me.”

“Here in the Lu Family, I still have some influence.”

The Fourth Elder smiled gently, her expression warm and kind.

“Yes, Grandma.”

Lu Changsheng also smiled sincerely.

Though he knew she had ulterior motives, her words full of care and love still warmed his heart.

Lu Changsheng then said to the Fourth Elder, “Grandma, I actually have something to trouble you with.”

“What is it?”

The Fourth Elder asked gently.

“I have a friend named Li Feiyu who came with me to become a son-in-law of the Lu Family.”

“Unlike me, my friend is devoted to cultivation and has been hindered by the childbearing requirement, so I ask Grandma to reduce or waive the fifty-child obligation for him.”

Lu Changsheng said.

He hadn’t forgotten about his good friend Li Feiyu.

He had planned to discuss this with the family head, Lu Yuanshan Ding.

But because of Lu Miaohuan’s incident, he felt embarrassed.

Now that the opportunity arose, he naturally addressed it.

“This is something Grandma usually can’t interfere with.”

“But since you’ve asked, Grandma will help.”

The Fourth Elder considered for a moment and said.

For her, this was no difficult task.

Just a word from her could settle it.

Especially since it was Lu Changsheng who requested it.

Lu Changsheng had gained some standing among the Lu Family’s high-level members.

This small favor would earn goodwill and deepen Lu Changsheng’s gratitude towards the Lu Family.

After all, Lu Changsheng’s request wasn’t excessive.

His request even improved her opinion of Lu Changsheng.

Loyal and righteous!

In the world of cultivation, loyalty and affection aren’t always seen as virtues.

But from the Lu Family’s perspective, these traits in Lu Changsheng were desirable.

“Considering your request, Grandma will exempt your friend Li Feiyu from the childbearing contract.”

“But as there are rules in every circle, the Lu Family does not support without return.”

“After waiving the childbearing requirement, he won’t receive any benefits from the Lu Family.”

“He can stay with the Lu Family, but needs to contribute.”

“If he can’t accept this, he’ll have to leave the Lu Family.”

The Fourth Elder specified.

Her gentle and kind tone carried an authority that commanded respect.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

“I’ll discuss it with him and let you know his decision.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng stood up and bowed, feeling it was more than enough.

He knew a bit about the Lu Family’s situation from his time there.

Despite their spiritual veins, they weren’t wealthy.

Some Lu Family branches at Qingzhu Mountain Estate even had relatives working to earn Spirit Stones.

In such circumstances, freeloaders were not feasible.

Waiving the contract without conditions and allowing the choice to stay and work or leave was generous.

Under the original contract, failing to have fifty children in twenty years required triple compensation and ten more years of service.

“Once you have his decision, inform Grandma, and I’ll discuss it with the family head.”

The Fourth Elder said with a smile.

After chatting with the Fourth Elder, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun took their leave.

As they left, the Fourth Elder gave them some cakes and spiritual fruits, giving Lu Changsheng a feeling of visiting relatives during New Year.
