Chapter 773: Reunion at Bihu Mountain

Xiao Xiyue entered the Immortal Yi Hall and immediately saw Chu Qingyi dressed in a blue palace robe, her dark hair lightly styled, holding a child.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at the child in her arms, completely without her usual cold arrogance. Her eyes were like the warm sun of spring, overflowing with gentle maternal radiance.

“Senior Sister.”

Even Xiao Xiyue, who cultivated the Supreme Emotionless Technique and was usually undisturbed by emotions or external matters, felt ripples in her tranquil heart, as if a stone had been dropped into a calm lake.

“Junior Sister, you’re back.”

“Shouzheng, this is your Martial Aunt.”

Chu Qingyi saw Xiao Xiyue, whose face was as pure and holy as a fairy from the Moon Palace. She pursed her red lips and spoke softly to the child in her arms, her voice gentle and melodious.

“Martial Aunt!”

The child was not at all shy, looking directly at Xiao Xiyue and shouting loudly.

“Mm.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at the child’s pink and jade-like face, with a hint of baby fat, and saw some familiarity in his features.

Although she did not cultivate Blood Path cultivation methods, she could not sense the bloodline connection between the two.

However, simply by observing her Senior Sister’s words, expressions, and the child’s facial features, she knew that this was her Senior Sister’s son, her biological son.

In fact, she even knew who the child’s father was. “Shouzheng… is his name Lu Shouzheng?”

Although Xiao Xiyue had long known that her Senior Sister and her husband had an extraordinary relationship, and that one day this might happen, seeing that they already had a child after she had been away for so many years, a few emotions still welled up in her heart.

However, her Supreme Emotionless Technique instinctively activated, instantly suppressing and erasing these emotions.

“Mm.”

Chu Qingyi looked at her Junior Sister’s indifferent, beautiful eyes, which were like the bright moon in the sky, unmoved by emotions or feelings. Her heart paused slightly, and she nodded gently.

Although she had been pondering these things for years, she was still a little nervous when facing her Junior Sister.

“Shouzheng, come, let Martial Aunt hold you.”

Xiao Xiyue suppressed the operation of her Supreme Emotionless Technique and looked at the child in her Senior Sister’s arms.

Even if she had some emotions about this matter, she could not blame her Senior Sister.

After all, they had been fellow disciples for decades, and she was very clear about Chu Qingyi’s character.

She had always felt guilty towards her in the early years.

This kind of thing was definitely her husband’s doing.

The Supreme Emotionless Technique stopped operating. Thinking of Lu Changsheng, Xiao Xiyue’s icy temperament, which kept people at a distance, seemed to melt a little.

The child glanced at his Mommy and, seeing Chu Qingyi put him down, immediately stepped forward, calling out to Martial Aunt.

“Shouzheng, how old are you this year?”

Looking at the child in front of her, Xiao Xiyue did not know how to face him for a moment.

Although she had a daughter, she did not have much experience as a mother or with taking care of children.

She had always been obedient to her daughter Lu Wangshu, always holding a sense of guilt and compensation.

“Martial Aunt, do you know when my Daddy will be back?”

The child’s dark, bright eyes looked at the Martial Aunt in front of him, and he asked.

“Your Daddy?”

Xiao Xiyue looked at her Senior Sister in surprise, wondering if Lu Changsheng had been away for a long time.

“Lu Changsheng should be busy with Nascent Soul matters,” Chu Qingyi said, pursing her red lips.

“Nascent Soul?”

Xiao Xiyue knew Lu Changsheng’s situation better than Chu Qingyi, knowing that his cultivation had long been at the late Core Formation stage.

It was normal for him to seek a Nascent Soul opportunity now.

She asked Chu Qingyi how long Lu Changsheng had been gone.

“Four and a half years.”

“So long?”

Although Lu Changsheng often went out in his early years, he would return in two or three years at most.

After speaking, she seemed to think of something and looked at her Senior Sister, saying, “Senior Sister, does he know about Shouzheng?”

As a Core Formation True Lord, Chu Qingyi was tense and uneasy at this moment. Under the gaze of her Junior Sister Xiao Xiyue, she said softly, “He probably doesn’t know.”

Xiao Xiyue sighed inwardly and then said, “Senior Sister, have you been taking care of Shouzheng yourself all these years? Didn’t you go to Bihu Mountain?”

Seeing her Senior Sister pursing her lips and looking nervous and uneasy, Xiao Xiyue got up and took Chu Qingyi’s hand, saying, “Senior Sister, I’m going to Bihu Mountain to see Wangshu. Let’s go together.”

“Let Shouzheng and Wangshu get to know each other too. He can’t just be kept by your side like this, right?”

In any case, Chu Qingyi was her Senior Sister.

Their relationship was closer than that of Lu Changsheng’s many wives.

Moreover, her Senior Sister already had a son with her husband. What else could she say? Naturally, she would help handle this relationship well.

Especially since Lu Changsheng didn’t know where he was, and her Senior Sister didn’t know how to handle it herself.

If Lu Changsheng never came back, when this son grew up, he might resent Lu Changsheng, this unreliable Daddy.

“Mm.”

Although Chu Qingyi was uneasy and didn’t know how to face Lu Changsheng’s other wives, she nodded, seeing the concern in her Junior Sister’s eyes.

She knew that she couldn’t keep the child by her side forever.

As for waiting for Lu Changsheng to come back and handle it, she didn’t know when Lu Changsheng would return.

“Buzz!”

Xiao Xiyue lightly raised her hand, and a palm-sized Jade Sedan Chair rose in the wind, directly taking Chu Qingyi and Lu Shouzheng away from Rainbow Cloud Peak, Azure Cloud Sect, and heading to Bihu Mountain.

“Junior Sister, have you been in any danger these years?”

In the Jade Sedan Chair, Chu Qingyi looked a little uneasy, not knowing what to talk about, and asked Xiao Xiyue about the situation of the Liang-Yue war.

She had gone to Yue Kingdom with Xiao Xiyue before and knew that this mission had a certain degree of danger.

She had encountered the Flood Dragon Holy Son of Beast God Mountain, which led to serious injuries and an early return to the sect.

“The situation is very unfavorable.”

Xiao Xiyue did not hide it, telling her about the current situation.

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of what the Sect Leader had said, that True Lord Juejian was preparing to invite the City Lord of Da Mengze to help.

But she and Chu Qingyi both knew that the City Lord of Da Mengze was Lu Changsheng.

Now that Lu Changsheng was out seeking a Nascent Soul opportunity, how could he help?

Half a day later, the Jade Sedan Chair landed outside Bihu Mountain.

Xiao Xiyue opened the sedan curtain and looked at the appearance of Bihu Mountain in front of her, her expression dazed, with a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.

When she went to Yue Kingdom on a mission, Bihu Mountain’s spiritual vein was in the final stage of advancing to the third rank.

Now that the main vein, Biyun Peak, had advanced to the third rank, the entire mountain was much more majestic and towering.

And Bihu Lake, Lingcui Cliff, Hundred Refinements Peak, and Xuanfu Peak, which were connected to Biyun Peak’s promotion to the third rank, had also been promoted under the Lu Family’s cultivation.

It could be said that the current Bihu Mountain had been completely renewed and had the demeanor of a Core Formation family.

In the early years, although Bihu Mountain had two Core Formation True Lords, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, the family’s spiritual land was only second-rank, which was really lacking in family style.

After all, in addition to having Core Formation True Lords, a family must also have a third-rank spiritual land.

Only in this way could it support the family’s inheritance and continue to cultivate Core Formation cultivators!

As Lu Changsheng’s official Dao companion and one of the Lu Family’s mistresses, Xiao Xiyue naturally did not need to report when she came to Bihu Mountain and had an Access Token.

But she was here to discuss matters, so she activated the token in her hand, signaling the stationed disciples to report.

Through layers of notification, Lu Miaoge, the mistress sitting in Bihu Mountain, came to greet her as soon as she learned that Xiao Xiyue had arrived.

“Xiyue, you’re back.”

Lu Miaoge knew about Xiao Xiyue’s mission to Yue Kingdom.

Seeing that Xiao Xiyue had also brought a Jade Sedan Chair, Lu Miaoge’s water-like eyes were slightly surprised.

“Let’s go in first.”

Xiao Xiyue took the Jade Sedan Chair and went to Biyun Peak with Lu Miaoge before calling Chu Qingyi and Lu Shouzheng out of the sedan.

“Qingyi Zhenren?”

Although Lu Miaoge was not familiar with Chu Qingyi, she still knew that this was Qingyi Zhenren, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall of Azure Cloud Sect.

However, she immediately saw the child being held by Chu Qingyi.

From the child’s facial features, she actually saw some shadows of her husband.

Could it be that even though Lu Miaoge had long been clear about her husband’s nature, seeing this Qingyi Zhenren, who was so noble and was also Xiao Xiyue’s Senior Sister, bring her son to Bihu Mountain, she couldn’t help but be at a loss and stunned.

Moreover, judging by his appearance, this child was already two or three years old, and her husband didn’t even inform her in advance.

“Shouzheng, this is your Miaoge Aunt.”

Xiao Xiyue said to the child and then asked Lu Miaoge if Lu Changsheng had returned.

“Changsheng hurriedly came back four and a half years ago and hasn’t returned since. What’s wrong?”

Lu Miaoge immediately said, thinking that Xiao Xiyue had brought Qingyi Zhenren to question her.

However, she also felt that her husband had done something inappropriate.

He should at least inform her and give her an explanation.

But in the next moment, her heart paused, and she thought of something. Her husband had returned four and a half years ago, and this child was just two or three years old.

Could it be that it was that trip back that caused Qingyi Zhenren to become pregnant? “One is Shouzheng’s matter, and the other is the matter of Da Mengze.”

Xiao Xiyue did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of her visit.

“Changsheng went to the Starry Sea through Da Mengze. He hurriedly came back once before and has gone again now.”

Lu Miaoge said, knowing more clearly than the two women about Lu Changsheng’s busy schedule.

Lu Changsheng’s first trip to the Starry Sea was about eight years ago.

His return was just a brief stopover.

After speaking, she asked Xiao Xiyue what was happening with the Liang-Yue war and if she had seen her children Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu.

“Lu Qingshan is very good, very amazing. He shone brightly in this war and is a Nascent Soul seed that Yue Kingdom’s Five Great Immortal Sects are trying their best to cultivate. He is favored by True Lord Hunyuan.”

Xiao Xiyue said.

Although she had not interacted much with Lu Qingshan, she had heard of the latter’s Seven Absolute Swords during her mission in Yue Kingdom.

There was only one thing she did not say: Lu Qingshan was too sharp. After killing several Core Formation cultivators from Liang Kingdom in succession, he was ambushed by a Core Formation grand cultivator and seriously injured. He is currently being protected and lying low by the Golden Sun Sect.

“Now that the Liang-Yue war is in a stalemate, it seems that Liang Kingdom has reached some kind of cooperation with Yuan Kingdom. Next, Yuan Kingdom may enter the fray, so the Heavenly Sword Sect will go to Immortal City of Damengze to invite assistance. If Changsheng is not there…”

Xiao Xiyue continued to speak, telling Lu Miaoge about the Liang-Yue war and the current situation of various countries.

If the Heavenly Sword Sect invited Immortal City of Damengze to help, and Lu Changsheng was not there and unwilling to take action, then the Heavenly Sword Sect would likely have opinions on Immortal City of Damengze.

After all, as a Core Formation True Lord of the Azure Cloud Sect, Xiao Xiyue knew that this group of swordsmen from the Heavenly Sword Sect still had a bit of arrogance and dominance in their bones after so many years of dealing with them.

It was just that True Lord Xuanjian’s policies and strategies implemented in Jiang Kingdom were relatively lenient, and he even continued to maintain the status of Jiang Kingdom’s Four Great Immortal Sects.

But everyone knew that Jiang Kingdom only had one overlord: the Heavenly Sword Sect!

“I’ll inform Senior Hong Lian about this later to see what arrangements and plans she has.”

Lu Miaoge knew the importance of the matter and prepared to send a message to Hong Lian, who was sitting in Immortal City of Damengze, as soon as possible.

It was a pity that the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror was not here now; otherwise, she could directly talk to Immortal City of Damengze.

“Okay.”

Xiao Xiyue knew Hong Lian’s identity and nodded gently, then asked about her daughter Lu Wangshu.

“Wangshu is in Immortal City of Damengze. She has been working very hard these years and has already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment peak. She is preparing to form her Core. She will definitely be very happy if she knows you are back.”

Speaking of Lu Wangshu, a gentle look appeared in Lu Miaoge’s water-like eyes.

Lu Wangshu could be said to have been brought up by her, and the two were as close as mother and daughter.

It was precisely because of this relationship that she had a close relationship with Xiao Xiyue.

“Immortal City of Damengze… Since that’s the case, I’ll go to Immortal City of Damengze later. Miaoge, do you have anything you want me to take with me?”

After being away on a mission to Yue Kingdom for so many years, Xiao Xiyue missed her daughter very much and prepared to go directly to Immortal City of Damengze to see her.

“When you see Zixiao, you can tell her about the Liang-Yue war.”

The two women discussed for a moment, and Lu Miaoge did not neglect Chu Qingyi, who was next to her, caring for her and Lu Shouzheng.

Compared to Xiao Xiyue, she handled this kind of thing much more smoothly. The whole process was as gentle as water, allowing Chu Qingyi to clearly feel her friendliness and kindness.

During this process, Lu Miaoge was very surprised. She did not expect that this Qingyi Zhenren’s character was so gentle.

After all, according to rumors, this Qingyi Zhenren should be a cold and aloof sword immortal.

“Qingyi Zhenren, although Shouzheng is still young, Lu Changsheng researched some Pills and medicinal baths in his early years to temper children’s foundation. If you don’t have anything to do, you can stay here for a while. I will also have people arrange and prepare things for Shouzheng.”

Although Chu Qingyi was a Core Formation cultivator and did not lack such resources to temper her foundation.

However, she really did not have much research in this area on weekdays, and the Bihu Mountain childcare base was very complete in this regard.

Hearing Lu Miaoge’s words, Chu Qingyi nodded.

Immediately, Lu Miaoge accompanied Chu Qingyi on a tour of Bihu Mountain, introducing her to the situation.

Immortal City of Damengze.

City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Lingxiao, dressed in a black-red brocade robe embroidered with gold trim, was imposing. He sat cross-legged in the center of the Immortal City’s array eye, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the great array.

In his golden pupils, two dragon-shaped air currents rose and surged. While comprehending the third-rank great array, he also used the Emperor’s Aura Gazing Technique to understand the operation trajectory of this Forbidden Array.

By doing so, in addition to helping him comprehend the third-rank Forbidden Formation, it also allowed him to more adapt and fit to take charge of the Immortal City’s array.

Once the enemy invaded, as a formation master and the Young Lord of the Immortal City, he could further integrate into the great array and improve his combat power.

Immortal City of Damengze, Heavenly Talisman Hall, third floor.

A beautiful woman dressed in a pink and white dress sat at a Mind-Concentrating Nanmu desk, holding an exquisite talisman brush that complemented her slender fingers, sketching talismans.

Her wrist turned nimbly, and the talisman brush outlined mysterious and delicate patterns on the third-rank talisman paper, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily.

After a long time, seeing the spiritual light surging on the talisman paper on the desk, the woman breathed a long sigh of relief, her eyebrows and eyes showing a bit of exhaustion.

“Why isn’t Daddy back yet…”

Lu Wangshu looked at the third-rank, low-grade Talisman in front of her, and her whole person seemed to be deflated. Her delicate chin rested on the light golden Nanmu desk, her pink lips slightly raised, and her embroidered shoes, embroidered with exquisite pink jade butterfly patterns on the skirt, lightly kicked as she complained.

Since Lu Changsheng left, the largest store of the Talisman Lu Family had to rely on her to support it.

Although she was a third-rank talisman maker and could make third-rank, mid-grade Talismans, this process was very mentally and magically exhausting.

If it weren’t for the three fourth-rank talismans that Lu Changsheng gave her back then, her cultivation would have been twice as effective, and she didn’t know when she would reach the Foundation Establishment peak.

After resting for a long time, Lu Wangshu thought that when her Daddy came back, she would definitely have to compensate herself heavily. Then, she perked up, lit a Mind-Concentrating Incense, and nimbly turned the talisman brush in her slender jade fingers, brewing her state, preparing to continue drawing a talisman.

Land of Eternal Night.

Lu Changsheng took Qian Zhuyan, Golden-Winged Roc, and Yun Wanshang to explore a Forbidden Mountain in the Land of Eternal Night.

Like Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and Da Mengze, the more dangerous this kind of place was, the more spiritual objects it had.

Only with him, Qian Zhuyan, Golden-Winged Roc, and Yun Wanshang would he dare to bring him to this kind of place.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Yun Wanshang would not come to this dangerous Forbidden Mountain alone.

“Woo woo woo——”

Although Lu Changsheng and Qian Zhuyan and Golden-Winged Roc were amazingly powerful, there were still many terrifying mutated creatures in this Forbidden Mountain.

Even Lu Changsheng and others could not push through horizontally and needed to fight and retreat.

“True Lord, it’s good to meet you; otherwise, this kind of place would be a torment to be alone.”

Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang, and Golden-Winged Roc joined forces to hunt down a mutated creature and sat down next to each other, panting, and said with a smile.

“.”

Yun Wanshang glanced at Lu Changsheng indifferently, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, and she did not speak.

Since arriving in Azure Cloud City, she had discovered that Lu Changsheng’s attitude was gradually ambiguous, and he was inadvertently teasing and probing her with words.

Maybe she had been pretending not to understand, but after this trip, Lu Changsheng’s words were becoming more and more direct.

“True Lord, how have you been all these years?”

Lu Changsheng did not care about Yun Wanshang’s cold attitude and continued to speak.

After all, a determined woman fears a persistent man. As long as you are willing to put down your face and spend your effort, there is nothing you can’t do.

Moreover, the two knew each other well, and now they were just continuing their early years of affection.

Not far away, Qian Zhuyan looked at his master with a faint ghost fire, thinking that Lu Changsheng really didn’t treat himself as an outsider.

No, he didn’t treat himself as a person at all.

He kept teasing Yun Wanshang in front of him.

If it was outside, Lu Changsheng would definitely have noticed that Qian Zhuyan’s eyes were not right.

But in the Land of Eternal Night, his Blood Energy, magical energy, and divine sense were silent, and he could not detect the resentment in the soul fire in Qian Zhuyan’s eyes.

“Crack crack!”

Qian Zhuyan directly threw the Emerald-green Soul Crystal in his hand into his mouth, chewed it with teeth comparable to spiritual treasures, and then refined it.

Lu Changsheng’s trip to the Forbidden Mountain was not purely to find spiritual objects but also to help Qian Zhuyan hunt down strange creatures and obtain Soul Crystals as much as possible.

This kind of Soul Crystal contained very pure yin spirit power, which directly helped to improve Qian Zhuyan’s puppet spirit’s soul. If he had enough Soul Crystals, the latter’s puppet spirit was expected to advance to the fourth rank! “I just came here normally.”

Yun Wanshang closed her beautiful eyes, as if she was resting, and said lightly. It was impossible not to ignore Lu Changsheng completely.

“Facing this eternal darkness, not knowing when we can leave, does True Lord feel tormented?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Yun Wanshang’s exquisite and beautiful face and continued to speak, his voice gentle and magnetic, and his handsome face was full of unspeakable charm.

In this way, the two searched for spiritual objects, hunted down mutated creatures, and talked in this Forbidden Mountain.

Although Lu Changsheng’s words seemed a bit noisy to Yun Wanshang.

But as he said, being alone in this dark world of eternal night, not knowing when they could leave, was really a torment.

Now, although she still didn’t know when they could leave, having an acquaintance at least added a bit of color to her world.
