Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family-Chapter 1062 - 234: The Sima Family is domineering and unreasonable! (2)
And she fell short in many aspects;to break through to False Core, she must rely on family support.
"Junior Sister, you are too courteous."
Song Cheng returned to his usual refined and gentle demeanor, speaking with a smile.
His assistance to Sima Qiuhua during this trip was partly out of respect for his Master’s Wife and also for the sake of the Sima Family’s reputation.
If this matter was handled well, it would be akin to the Sima Family owing him a great favor.
...
"Tsk..."
In the void, Lu Changsheng watched the departing duo.
He thought to himself that the two were not fools;they understood that his daring attitude earlier must be backed by some form of confidence.
"Unfortunately, my confidence is not Xiao Xiyue." Ads by PubFuture
Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly.
If his backing were solely Xiao Xiyue, he wouldn’t have acted this way.
Perhaps he would have feigned politeness with the other party.
"In the Qingyun Region, or strictly speaking within the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm’s framework, unless one possesses absolute strength, adhering strictly to the rules can indeed feel suffocating..."
Lu Changsheng felt a spark of melancholy in his heart.
Without the connection to Caiyun True Immortal, if he didn’t reveal his strength, he would indeed suffer losses in situations like this.
Even though he could rely on disguise and camouflage to solve many external dangers.
When it came to the suppressive rules of Immortal Sects like Qingyun Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect, he had no choice but to act within the boundaries of those rules.
"It’s crucial to form more alliances, isn’t it?"
"If I could establish ties with Nascent Soul Immortals from Luoxia Sect, Spirit Taming Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect, I wouldn’t need to worry about such matters."
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled long and slow, feeling that his journey was still a long way ahead.
He resolved to find an opportunity to strengthen his bond with Caiyun True Immortal.
This way, his family would finally enjoy peace within the Qingyun Region.
Lu Changsheng stopped dwelling on the matter as his Fate-Defying Robe radiated an invisible glow, propelling him toward Qingyun Sect.
Stopping a hundred miles outside Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng adjusted his attire briefly and retrieved a jade pendant.
Although his connection with Caiyun True Immortal was unique.
It wasn’t appropriate for him to directly enter Qingyun Sect for a formal visit—he couldn’t exactly say to Xiao Xiyue: "Xi Yue, I have some business with your Master," could he?
Thus, he opted to use the jade pendant given to him years ago by Yun Wanshang.
"Hum!"
As Lu Changsheng imbued the jade pendant in his hand with mana, rays of resplendent light shimmered around it instantly.
...
Qingyun Sect.
At Caiyun Peak, inside an opulent palace.
Yun Wanshang sat cross-legged, her eyes closed elegantly, surrounded by delicate threads of radiant glow, exuding a profound and mystic aura.
At this moment, as though sensing something, her eyes suddenly opened. She gently raised her hand, and a jade pendant shimmering with cloud-like radiance appeared in her palm.
"Hmm?"
Yun Wanshang looked at the jade pendant with a hint of surprise.
Although she had given the other jade pendant to Lu Changsheng earlier as a means for him to summon her in life-and-death crises, he had never activated it.
This was the first time the jade pendant had been activated.
Aside from the jade pendant, she had also given Lu Changsheng a token imbued with a seal of her Divine Skills.
Now that Lu Changsheng had activated the pendant, it was clearly not a matter of life-or-death crisis.
As she injected her mana into the jade pendant in her hand, the two pendants created an intangible flow of aura, indicating that Lu Changsheng was not far from her location and within range of contact.
"What is the matter?"
Without delay, Yun Wanshang spoke;her voice was clear, melodious, and carried a trace of authority befitting someone of her stature.
"Eh... this pendant can transmit voice?"
On the other side, Lu Changsheng was startled to hear Yun Wanshang’s voice coming from the jade pendant.
He had studied the pendant before and understood it was an Exotic Treasure capable of concealing aura and enabling mutual sensing.
However, he had not delved deep enough to discover its ability to transmit spoken messages.
"Senior, I have a matter I would like to request your assistance with."
Knowing Yun Wanshang’s straightforward nature, Lu Changsheng decided not to beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"Speak."
The pendant transmitted Yun Wanshang’s crystalline, jewel-like voice.
"Damn, this woman’s so cold."
Lu Changsheng muttered inwardly.
However, he was well aware of her temperament—cold on the outside, warm on the inside.
At once, he spoke with a slightly aggrieved tone: "Senior, my family business has been building for years. Recently, we established a trade caravan to earn Spirit Stones through commerce."
"Who would have thought that the Xuanwu Ridge Sima Family, barbaric and unreasonable, would try to oppress my family? They forbade us from conducting trade and even sent people to ambush us..."
"Get to the point."
Yun Wanshang’s voice resounded.
"My son captured and suppressed the Sima Family Patriarch, Sima Tong, but the Sima Family invited Real Person Chiyang to intervene and sent disciples to my family..."
Lu Changsheng explained immediately.
"Captured Sima Tong and Chiyang intervened?"
Yun Wanshang, upon hearing this, expressed a mix of surprise and confusion.
She naturally knew that Sima Tong of Xuanwu Ridge was a False Core Immortal.
If this False Core Immortal was subdued by Lu Changsheng, she could still understand.
But now, Lu Changsheng claimed it was his son who subdued him?
However, she didn’t inquire further and said flatly, "How do you wish to handle this?"
"Uh, that depends on whatever is most convenient for you, Senior."
"If possible, as long as the Sima Family offers sufficient compensation, I’ll be willing to let bygones be bygones." nσvel.cøm
Lu Changsheng replied.
"Alright, I understand."
As soon as those words fell, Lu Changsheng sensed the intangible aura from the pendant cut off.
"She’s that cold?"
Lu Changsheng felt speechless;he hadn’t even mentioned the compensation specifics.
Nonetheless, since Caiyun True Immortal spoke so decisively, he presumed she would not shortchange him.
Looking toward the direction of Qingyun Sect, Lu Changsheng thought about how it had been a while since he’d properly spent time with Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing.
Now that he was already here, it was natural to pay them a visit, as well as check up on his children, brother-in-law, and Han Lin.
Meanwhile.
After Yun Wanshang put away the jade pendant, she spread her Nascent Soul Divine Sense and transmitted her voice to a woman in a courtyard outside her palace: "Jinxiu, go to Luowang Hall and fetch recent intelligence regarding events in the Bi Lake Mountain area."
