Chapter 124: Spirit Fields, Shops, and Cave Abodes!

Three days later.The Lu Family patriarch led a group of Lu Family cultivators back to Qingzhu Mountain.

This signified the conclusion of the Hongye Valley matter.

Lu Miaohuan and her sister also returned with Lu Yuanding.

“Sister, do you think Lu Changsheng will really come to propose?”

After returning home, Lu Miaohuan asked her sister, Lu Miaoge, with some shyness.

These past few days, her mind kept replaying what Lu Changsheng had said.

She kept wondering whether Lu Changsheng was serious about proposing or if he was just joking.

This made her feel anxious and uncertain over the past few days.

“As long as you nod and show your willingness, Lu Changsheng might come to propose today.”

Lu Miaoge looked at her sister’s shy face, smiled gently, and said softly.

She knew her sister had already fallen deeply in love with Lu Changsheng.

If it weren’t for her feminine modesty and shyness, she might have agreed back then.

Thinking of this, she sighed slightly in her heart.

It wasn’t just Lu Miaohuan.

These past few days, her own heart had been in turmoil as well.

Her mind kept replaying Lu Changsheng’s words.

She wondered, if Lu Changsheng really came to propose, would she agree?

After three days of contemplation, Lu Miaoge had roughly reached a conclusion.

If it really came to that, if Lu Changsheng did come to propose, she would agree and not refuse.

But even with this conclusion, she still couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.

She didn’t know how to face Lu Changsheng and answer this question.

“Can’t he see whether I’m willing or not? Why does he have to ask me? Does he really want me to say it first?”

Lu Miaohuan pouted her alluring red lips and said with some shyness.

She felt that this kind of thing couldn’t possibly be up to her to say first, to tell Lu Changsheng that she was willing and for him to come propose.

That would be too embarrassing!

Besides, shouldn’t it be Lu Changsheng who takes the initiative to propose?

Then, when her father asks, she would indicate that such an important matter as marriage should be decided by her father, and she would follow her father’s arrangement.

“I just happen to have something to discuss with Lu Changsheng. Since that’s the case, how about I subtly probe and hint to him for you?”

Seeing her sister’s expression, Lu Miaoge couldn’t help but suggest.

Although she felt some trepidation about meeting Lu Changsheng and feared his questions about her own response, she knew she must support her sister’s happiness.

“Okay,”

Lu Miaohuan responded in a barely audible voice.

In the past, her pride would never have allowed her to let her sister help hint at her feelings.

She would have waited for Lu Changsheng to propose on his own.

But after believing him to be dead, she had let go of her pride.

Meanwhile, Lu Miaoyun was also contemplating the matter of her husband, Lu Changsheng, and the two sisters, Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan.

She pondered how to facilitate this marriage, knowing her husband’s affection for the two sisters.

As his wife, she felt it was her duty to ease her husband’s worries.

She also had her own motivations; the appearance of Meng Xiaochan had stirred a sense of urgency in her.

She wanted to help her husband settle down and focus on cultivation and Talisman Dao, hoping he would spend less time on other women.

“Though I suggested to my husband that the patriarch could arrange the marriage, he wouldn’t agree. He would want Miaoge and Miaohuan’s consent before proposing,” Lu Miaoyun thought.

Knowing her husband’s character well, she knew he would respect the sisters’ wishes and wouldn’t push for a marriage without their agreement.

“It’s clear that Sister Miaohuan likes him. If he proposes, she’ll agree. But as for Sister Miaoge…”

Lu Miaoyun pondered her other sister’s situation, uncertain of how to describe the relationship between Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge.

“I remember Sister Miaoge and my husband used to get along differently than they do now.”

This thought suddenly occurred to Lu Miaoyun, and she felt that the situation between Lu Miaoge and her husband had become somewhat strange.

But she couldn’t quite put her finger on what was strange about it.

It was as if their relationship seemed fine on the surface, but both of them appeared somewhat restrained.

Especially Lu Miaoge.

“I remember that in the past, Sister Miaoge treated my husband like she treated us younger siblings, very naturally.”

“But now, Sister Miaoge’s behavior in front of my husband is clearly different, lacking that natural feeling.”

“It’s not right, it’s as if Sister Miaoge doesn’t talk to my husband much anymore, almost as if she’s avoiding him.”

Lu Miaoyun continued to think, recalling the situation between her husband and Lu Miaoge.

“It’s not just when facing my husband, it’s as if Sister Miaoge is also unnatural around me.”

“It’s as if something went wrong after Sister Miaoge got injured and returned.”

Lu Miaoyun thought carefully, realizing that Lu Miaoge had been acting strangely for half a year.

But at the time, she didn’t think much of it and didn’t pay attention.

Now that she thought about it carefully, she immediately realized that there was a problem.

She felt that something must have happened between her husband and Lu Miaoge, which was why Lu Miaoge was acting this way.

“During that time, Sister Miaoge was severely injured and her life was in danger, and my husband saved her.”

“It must be that something happened during that process, which is why Sister Miaoge is acting this way.”

“What could it be?”

Lu Miaoyun’s mind was filled with thoughts.

Suddenly, a thought struck her: “Could it be…”

“This is impossible.”

Lu Miaoyun was shocked by her own speculation.

But aside from this reason, she couldn’t think of any other explanation.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the reason.

“If it’s really like this, then Sister Miaoge should be willing to marry my husband.”

Lu Miaoyun frowned feeling puzzled.

“It’s true, Sister Miaoge has always been calm and didn’t compete with us, and she took care of us as well.”

“Even if Sister Miaoge really had feelings for my husband, in this situation, she would feel guilty towards me and wouldn’t be willing to marry my husband.”

“Moreover, my Sister Miaohuan also has feelings for my husband, and for sisters to marry the same person would be difficult for Sister Miaoge to accept.”

“And Sister Miaoge is focused on cultivation and doesn’t plan to get married, so if she were to marry my husband, she would naturally think about having children, which would make her anxious.”

Lu Miaoyun thought about her understanding of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, and her mind was filled with speculation.

She felt that she had guessed the problem.

“If it’s really like this, then I need to go talk to Sister Miaoge about it.”

Lu Miaoyun thought to herself, preparing to go find Lu Miaoge to talk to her.

Let’s see if it’s just as I expected.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw a stunning beauty with long, flowing hair, white clothes as white as snow, and an extraordinary aura standing outside the door.

“Sister Miaoge?”

Lu Miaoyun was somewhat surprised to see Lu Miaoge standing outside her door.

She hadn’t expected to run into Lu Miaoge, who was supposed to be the one she was going to look for.

“Miaoyun.”

Lu Miaoge didn’t expect Lu Miaoyun to suddenly open the door.

She had come to talk to Lu Changsheng about her younger sister, but now that she was at the door, she was unsure of how to face him.

She was afraid of Lu Changsheng asking her questions.

“Sister Miaoge, you’re here to see my husband, and I happen to have something to discuss with you too.”

Lu Miaoyun smiled and invited her in.

“What do you want to discuss with me?”

Lu Miaoge was taken aback, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She didn’t know what Lu Miaoyun wanted to talk to her about.

After Lu Miaoyun invited her in, Lu Miaoge asked:

“What’s the matter, Sister Miaoge? You’re here to see my husband, right?”

“I don’t have anything in particular.”

Lu Miaoge shook her head, unable to say that she was there to propose a marriage for her younger sister.

“Miaoyun, you just said you had something to discuss with me. What is it?”

Lu Miaoyun tilted her head, and asked.

“What do you think of my husband?”

“What do you mean?”

Lu Miaoge was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Lu Miaoyun meant.

“I mean, what’s your impression of my husband in terms of his character, abilities, and so on?”

Lu Miaoyun sat down beside Lu Miaoge, holding her arm, and smiled.

Because Lu Miaoge had studied Talisman with the Fourth Elder, their relationship was quite good.

“Changsheng is excellent in all aspects.”

Lu Miaoge didn’t know why Lu Miaoyun was asking this, so she replied softly.

Her impression of Lu Changsheng was indeed very good.

In terms of appearance, abilities, and character, he was exceptional in every way.

Of course, his flaws are also very obvious.

As a cultivator, he’s too indulgent in women.

If Lu Changsheng could focus on his cultivation and have a grand vision, her evaluation of him would be even higher. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“It seems that my husband has a good impression in your heart, Sister Miaoge.”

“Then, are you willing to marry my husband, Sister Miaoge?”

Lu Miaoyun asked with a playful tone.

When Lu Miaoge heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

She didn’t expect Lu Miaoyun to say such a thing.

She replied softly, “Miaoyun, don’t joke about this.”

“Sister Miaoge, I’m not joking.”

Lu Miaoyun looked at her usually calm and gentle sister, who was now revealing a different expression.

In her heart, she became even more certain that something had happened between Lu Miaoge and her husband.

It was likely just as she had guessed.

“Sister Miaoge, I can see that my husband likes you very much.”

“And Sister Miaoge, you also have some feelings for my husband.”

Lu Miaoyun continued.

“Miaoyun.”

Lu Miaoge heard this and pursed her lips, indicating that she shouldn’t say anymore.

“Sister Miaoge, if I’m not mistaken, something must have happened between you and my husband.”

“You’re showing avoidance psychology when facing me and when facing my husband.”

“Sister Miaoge, are you worried about something because of me?”

“If it’s because of my words, I think you don’t need to worry, because I don’t mind this matter at all.”

Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Miaoge and said directly.

“Miaoyun, I.”

Lu Miaoge didn’t expect that her affair with Lu Changsheng would be guessed by Lu Miaoyun.

And to say it so bluntly.

It left her at a loss for words.

“Sister Miaoge, apart from me, do you have other concerns?”

“If it’s about Sister Miaohuan, I believe she won’t mind either.”

“Is it about your cultivation? I know you’re focused on cultivation, but marrying my husband won’t affect your cultivation.”

“On the contrary, you and my husband already have feelings for each other. Rather than letting these feelings affect your cultivation, why not become dao companions and cultivate together?”

“If you’re worried about having children, my husband won’t force you. If you don’t want to have children, just tell him directly.”

Lu Miaoyun saw Lu Miaoge’s reaction and knew that she must have guessed correctly.

So she took a deep breath and spoke directly.

“I”

Lu Miaoge pursed her lips, unable to speak.

She didn’t expect that her affair with Lu Changsheng, as well as her inner turmoil, would be completely exposed by Lu Miaoyun.

“Sister Miaoge, my husband is indeed promiscuous, and I wouldn’t dare say I’m not a little disappointed.”

“But my husband is really good to us and won’t be overly biased towards one person, so you can rest assured.”

“And you also saw what happened with that Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

“I think such things might happen again in the future, and I can’t stop my husband, but I just want to minimize it as much as possible, so I have my own selfish desires, hoping that you and Sister Miaohuan will marry my husband, and my husband will be less likely to flirt with others.”

Lu Miaoyun continued, her tone carrying a hint of sincerity.

Lu Miaoge pursed her lips, not speaking.

She also thought about Meng Xiaochan’s situation.

She knew in her heart that Lu Changsheng had a mysterious fate.

In this situation, if Lu Changsheng could focus on his cultivation and dedicate himself to the Talisman path, he might actually be able to reach Foundation Establishment.

She had always hoped that Lu Changsheng would cultivate properly.

Not like this, indulging in women too much.

Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Miaoge’s expression, seeing that she was already wavering and hesitant.

She took advantage of the situation and said, “Sister Miaoge, if you still have concerns, I’ll be the small one, and you can be the big one!”

“Miaoyun, don’t say that.”

Lu Miaoge was already somewhat disheartened by Lu Miaoyun’s words.

This statement directly left her stunned.

She didn’t expect Lu Miaoyun to make such a sacrifice.

“Are you saying that, Sister Miaoge, you agree?”

Lu Miaoyun saw Lu Miaoge’s reaction and smiled mischievously.

Lu Miaoge originally wanted to say that she hadn’t agreed.

But Lu Miaoyun had already said so much, and she felt like she had no reason to refuse.

It was indeed as Lu Miaoyun had said.

She had already developed feelings for Lu Changsheng in her heart and couldn’t sever this relationship; constantly avoiding it wasn’t a solution.

It was better to marry Lu Changsheng and cultivate together.

She could also supervise Lu Changsheng’s cultivation.

And she knew that if she didn’t agree, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t easily give up.

Moreover, she had thought about it before; if Lu Changsheng really came to propose, she would agree and wouldn’t refuse.

“Uh-huh.”

Lu Miaoge’s eyes slightly drooped, and she nodded lightly.

“That’s great!”

Seeing Lu Miaoge nod, Lu Miaoyun’s eyes curved into a crescent moon shape.

She then asked, “By the way, Sister Miaoge, can you tell me what brought you here this time?”

She didn’t believe Lu Miaoge would come over without a reason.

Would she come all the way here for no reason and not even enter the door?

“It’s about Huanhuan.”

Lu Miaoge let out a soft sigh and said, “You also know, Miaoyun, that Huanhuan has a crush on Changseng, and during the Hongye Valley incident, Changseng mentioned the marriage proposal, so Huanhuan has been worried about it these past few days.”

“So I came to talk to Changseng about this and settle the matter with Huanhuan.”

Lu Miaoge said so.

“Sister Miaoge, didn’t my husband ask you about this question back then?”

Lu Miaoyun nodded and asked.

At that time, Lu Changsheng had called out to Lu Miaoge, but didn’t say anything afterwards.

However, Lu Miaoyun could also tell that her husband was transmitting a message.

She could roughly guess the content of the transmission.

“Uh-huh.”

At this point, Lu Miaoge didn’t hide anything, and with a hint of difficulty, nodded.

“So, Sister Miaoge, you didn’t enter the door just now because you didn’t know how to respond to my husband, right?”

Lu Miaoyun’s expression changed to one of realization.

She immediately spoke up, “Sister Miaoge, don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter with Huanhuan and Changseng.”

“I’ll talk to my husband about it.”

Lu Miaoyun said so.

She also knew her elder sister’s personality.

She knew that it would be difficult for Lu Miaoge to discuss this matter with Lu Changsheng, and it would be hard for her to bring it up.

Moreover, Lu Miaoyun had just said so much, and Lu Miaoge’s heart must be in a mess right now.

She needed to calm down a bit.

It would be better to let her talk to Lu Changsheng; who knows, her thoughts might change again.

“Then I’ll trouble you with this, Miaoyun.”

Lu Miaoge let out a sigh of relief and said so.

Then she bid farewell and left.

In this short time, her heart, which had finally calmed down a few days ago, was in turmoil again.

“We’re family now, Sister Miaoge, no need to be polite.”

Lu Miaoyun immediately stood up to see Lu Miaoge off.

“Hmph, stinky husband, you’d better make it up to me later!”

After sending Lu Miaoge out the door, Lu Miaoyun couldn’t help but think to herself as a wife, “I’m actually helping my husband find another woman.” Her heart felt a pang of sourness, and she let out a soft sigh.

As Lu Miaoge left, she gradually came back to her senses.

Who would have thought that she came to help her sister, but ended up getting herself entangled in the process?

“Alas.”

Lu Miaoyun thought to herself, having already agreed, and didn’t say anything else, only letting out a soft sigh.

However, at this moment, she felt a sense of relief and relaxation wash over her.

This matter had been weighing on her mind for half a year, making it difficult for her to focus on her cultivation.

Inside the study.

“Ah, did Sister Miaoge agree?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised to hear Lu Miaoyun’s words.

As for Lu Miaohuan, he didn’t have any concerns.

He knew that Lu Miaohuan had already given her consent at the time.

He had been thinking about how to resolve Lu Miaoge’s emotional knot.

Who would have thought that his little wife had solved the issue?

“That’s right, sister Miaoge has agreed.”

“So, husband, how will you reward me?”

Lu Miaoyun pouted, speaking in a coquettish tone.

“What reward do you want, my dear?”

Lu Changsheng looked at his little wife’s adorable expression and immediately pulled her onto his lap, his hands exploring.

“Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze fluttering, her breathing quickening.

She leaned against the desk, her delicate body weakening.

As a considerate and caring husband, Lu Changsheng also supported her waist.

For a moment, the study was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

Two days later, the Lu Family’s elder came to find Lu Changsheng, expressing gratitude for his contribution to the attack on Hongye Valley.

As a reward, he was given a hundred acres of spiritual land.

Moreover, he was told that Hongye Valley would soon be jointly managed by the Lu, Yu, Bai, and Zheng families, establishing a cultivation city.

At that time, the Lu Family would allocate a shop and a cave dwelling to Lu Changsheng in the city.

“Thank you, elder!”

Lu Changsheng heard this and bowed in gratitude.

This reward was indeed generous.

Firstly, the hundred acres of spiritual land on Qingzhu Mountain would bring Lu Changsheng a substantial and stable income.

Once Hongye Valley was established as a prosperous town, as long as the atmosphere was lively, a single shop would be a goldmine.

So, this shop and a cave dwelling were essentially two goldmines.

Lu Changsheng knew in his heart that he was able to receive such a generous reward, all thanks to Meng Xiaocan.

Otherwise, he would have been like before, just messing around with Lu Miaoyun.

A reward of over a hundred spirit stones would be considered a major reward.

How could this be such a generous reward?

The spiritual fields of Qingzhu Mountain are all in the hands of the elders of the Lu Family, and the spiritual farmers are responsible for them.

But now, they suddenly gave him a reward of a hundred acres.

Lu Changsheng estimated that this was also the Lu Family adding another layer of bondage to him.

“Hehe, our Lu Family has never mistreated our own people, this is what you deserve.”

“Changseng, if you have any other requests, feel free to bring them up.”

The Lu Family elder laughed and said.
