256 Luo Qinghan's Shock

The Tianxuan planet of the Luohe galaxy.

Whoosh!

In the galaxy teleporter near the Luo family, a figure appeared out of thin air. This was none other than Luo Qinghan, who had been teleported back home from the Ziji planet of the Hengliu galaxy.

To date, Luo Qinghan had left home for a whole two years.

"Two years ago, when I just left home, I had just reached the ultimate Primal Core stage... and now, my Golden Essence has already begun to have the first signs of Dharma power, and I am almost at the doorstep of reaching the Dharma stage."

On the way home to the Luo family, Luo Qinghan's beautiful face broke into a slight smile. "If Father and Granny knew this, they would have the shock of their lives.

"Just based on my current progress... it should be easy to reach the Dharma stage before the age of thirty."

Soon, Luo Qinghan had returned to her familiar home. The disciples on patrol surrounding the Luo family saw her, and their eyes lit up immediately. "First Lady is back!"

"Congratulations, First Lady!"

When the disciples on patrol saw Luo Qinghan, their faces broke into a radiant smile, and they could not stop congratulating Luo Qinghan.

"Congratulations?"

Luo Qinghan was shocked. What was going on? After two years away, did these disciples already know that she was about to reach the Dharma stage?

Impossible!

How could they possibly know about this?

"First Lady, you don't have to be shy… Uncle has already been here a couple of times, and Chief has been awaiting your return so that the two of you can plan your wedding," said a Luo disciple who was slightly older than Luo Qinghan.

"Exactly! First Lady, there's no need to hide it at all, we've already seen him."

"He really looks like talented and handsome, suited for First Lady, the two of you are simply made for each other!"

…

Hearing the words of the Luo disciples, Luo Qinghan was shocked. Uncle? Her father was waiting for her to return to plan the wedding? Made for each other?

What was going on?

"What… what are you talking about? What Uncle? What wedding?"

Immediately, she regained her senses as she asked with a frown.

"First Lady, we really know all about it already. You… you cannot deny it!"

"Exactly! The man that you found for our Luo family, not only does Chief love him, even Old Lady Li loves him."

…

Luo Qinghan was speechless. How did she not know that the Luo family had found a new uncle?

Luo Qinghan was sure that even if she continued to ask these Luo disciples, she would not learn anything at all, so she decided to directly ask her father and Granny.

"Granny!" Luo Qinghan first went to find her granny, Old Lady Li Yu.

"Is that girl back?"

As she pushed the door open, before the smiling Luo Qinghan could utter a word, Li Yu had already grabbed her hand and dragged her out.

"Granny, where are you bringing me?"

Luo Qinghan was shocked. Was this really her granny? Why did she seem more like a kidnapper, grabbing her without a word!

"To your father," answered Li Yu.

"To Father?"

Before Luo Qinghan could properly understand the situation, Li Yu had already brought her outside of the room of the Luo family chief, Luo Wuchen. Without a thought of whether Luo Wuchen was practicing inside quietly, Li Yu called out, "Luo Wuchen, Qinghan is back!"

Bang!!

A huge crash resounded, which was none other than the chief of the Luo family, Luo Wuchen, pushing the door open. His face was filled with joy.

"Qinghan is back?"

After seeing Luo Qinghan, his face broke into a wide smile. "Qinghan, you are really awesome, truly awesome… who would have thought that the person who would bring our Luo family to prominence would be you!

"Qinghan, since you are here, then I should go to the Tielao planet of the Hengliu galaxy to find Zhou Donghuang at the Lightning Sword Sect so that he can come and take you as his lawful wife," Luo Wuchen said as he walked out.

"Hold up!!" Just as Luo Wuchen was about to leave, Luo Qinghan finally regained her senses as she asked quizzically, "Father, Granny… what are the two of you up to? Why are the both of you acting so strangely? Get married? Who am I getting married to? Who is Zhou Donghuang?"

Now, Luo Qinghan finally understood why the Luo family disciples outside had been congratulating her. The source of the matter was none other than her father.

"Girl."

Just as Luo Wuchen's body froze, before he could respond, Li Yu had already said with a smile, "Who else could it be but that young man you met when you were sent to the Ziyun planet randomly by the galaxy teleporter… a year ago, he came to find you. He said he wanted to marry you, and even left the dowry. Your father has also accepted the dowry."

Li Yu smiled, "So, you are now someone's wife… do you understand?"

"Granny, you are saying… Zhou Donghuang of the Ziyun planet?"

Luo Qinghan's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with disbelief. When she had met that young man on the Ziyun planet, she had been an early Primal Core adept, but the man had been three years younger than her and was only an adept of the Qi-Gathering.

Now, her Granny was telling her that that man had come to find her a year ago? And had paid the dowry? And her father had even accepted it?

"That's right." Li Yu nodded.

"How is that possible?!" Luo Qinghan shook her head furiously in disbelief. "Seven years ago, he was just an adept of the Qi-Gathering… how could he come to the Tianxuan planet in the Luohe galaxy? The planet that he is in, and even his entire galaxy, does not have a single galaxy teleporter… to leave that planet, one has to be at least at the early Primal Core stage!"

"Did someone bring him here?"

Luo Qinghan looked at Li Yu and Luo Wuchen suspiciously.

"Qinghan, nobody brought Donghuang here, he came here himself… you really shouldn't look down on him. When he came here a year ago, he was already a Golden Essence adept. A few months ago, when he came again, he was already at the Dharma stage!"

As he spoke, Luo Wuchen seemed to think of something, as an awkward look crossed his face.

When Zhou Donghuang last came to the Luo family, after finding out that Zhou Donghuang was already a Dharma adept, Luo Wuchen, who had just reached the late Dharma stage, had offered to give Zhou Donghuang some tips.

But at the end of the day, it ended up being Zhou Donghuang giving Luo Wuchen advice.

Zhou Donghuang used his mid Dharma stage white tiger against Luo Wuchen's Dharma power and had defeated him within ten blows!

And this was only because Luo Wuchen had converted to the "Technique of Everlasting Youth" and his Dharma power had been polished.

However, as Luo Wuchen had not yet mastered the technique of integrating the Dharma power, he had been defeated by Zhou Donghuang.

Otherwise, even if he could not defeat Zhou Donghuang, who was incredibly experienced, in battle, he could have ended it in a draw.

"A Golden Essence adept a year ago? A Dharma adept a few months ago? Father… you… are you sure you know what you are saying?"

Luo Qinghan was stunned momentarily, then glared at Luo Wuchen. Clearly, she did not believe her father's words.

"Me? I don't know what I am saying?"

Now, Luo Wuchen then realized that his daughter did not believe a word that he had said. "Qinghan, Father is not lying to you! Everything I said was the truth!"

Luo Wuchen turned to Li Yu helplessly and cried, "Mother, you tell Qinghan… did I lie to her?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Qinghan, although your father may not be too trustworthy sometimes, but he is really telling the truth this time. That Donghuang has not only reached the Dharma stage… in fact, when he last came back, when your father offered to spar with him, your father got schooled instead. That boy used just ten blows to defeat your father."

Li Yu's words were even more ridiculous than Luo Wuchen. Luo Qinghan was shocked, her mind in a mess.

As Luo Wuchen smiled sadly, Li Yu continued, "Mm, when your father was defeated by that boy Donghuang, your father was already at the late Dharma stage."

If Li Yu's words earlier had been shocking to Luo Qinghan, then what she had just said frightened Luo Qinghan so much that her eyes narrowed, and the color drained from her face.

"That boy is simply unnatural!"

Luo Wuchen cried out, "Although he is only at the mid Dharma stage, he could still defeat me, a late Dharma adept! Although I had only just reached the late Dharma stage, my strength is even more than your uncle! But I was still defeated by him. That boy is… I am his father-in-law, but he did not give me any chances at all! Qinghan, you had better teach your man to be filial and respect his elders!"

As he spoke, Luo Wuchen seemed to get agitated.

Luo Wuchen's uncle was one of the two late Dharma adepts in the Luo family, the only one besides Li Yu. He was also one of the two pillars of the Luo family.

And now, after both Luo Wuchen and Li Yu had converted to the superior "Technique of Everlasting Youth," their skill level had both increased significantly in a short time…

Luo Wuchen had already reached the late Dharma stage, while Li Yu was almost at the ultimate Dharma stage and would reach it within a few years!

"Father… you… don't say anything for now."

Luo Qinghan collapsed on the stone table in the yard. With one hand holding on to the table, she used her other hand to massage her eyes. "I… I need… I need some time to think."

Regardless of what her granny had said or what her father had just told her, this was a huge blow to her.

Seven years ago, the man had been a little Qi-Gathering adept.

And now, he had already grown to such a stage?

Was he even human?

Luo Qinghan was well aware that her father could possibly lie to her, but her granny would never lie to her, nor would she team up with her father to lie to her!

So, all that they had just said must have been the truth.

That was exactly why she had been so shocked.

"Qinghan, I know you are filled with many questions and disbelief right now… but this is the truth."

Li Yu was well aware what her granddaughter was thinking, and she said, "Remember when I told you that the reason for your incredible increase in talent was most likely because of what happened between you and Zhou Donghuang? That was the truth."

"When Zhou Donghuang first met you, his skill had been so low because he had only begun training when he turned seventeen… in just a short year, even if he was so talented, it would be simply impossible for him to reach the Connate stage or even the Primal Core stage."
