Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family-Chapter 1064 - 235: Xiao Xiyue: Why is Master together with Changsheng...
Song Qingzhi, accompanied by Song Cheng and Sima Qiuhua, stepped out of the palace and prepared to head to Bi Lake Mountain to demand justice.
"Hmm!?"
"Lu Changsheng!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
As the three approached the mountain gate, Song Cheng and Sima Qiuhua suddenly spotted a man in a green robe not far away. The man was strikingly handsome, exuding a demeanor as elegant and unworldly as a lofty pine tree swaying in the wind. Their expressions froze momentarily.
They hadn’t expected that shortly after their own return, Lu Changsheng would show up at Qingyun Sect as well.
This affirmed their suspicion—Lu Changsheng must have come here to seek an audience with Xiao Xiyue.
"Shi Niang..."
Song Cheng immediately turned to address his master’s wife, Song Qingzhi, respectfully.
"Hmm, so he is Lu Changsheng?"
Song Qingzhi’s black hair was elegantly coiled into a jeweled bun, and she wore a loose-fitting green Daoist robe that did little to conceal her voluptuous and perfectly proportioned figure. Ads by PubFuture
Upon hearing Song Cheng’s words, her gaze—resembling the tranquil clarity of autumn lake water—swept toward the man. Dressed in a green robe, with an incomparably handsome face and a poised bearing akin to a noble orchid or a jade tree swaying gracefully, Lu Changsheng stood there serene and at ease. A faint ripple stirred in her eyes.
She had heard of Lu Changsheng’s reputation before and knew of his existence, but she had never seen him in person.
Now, looking at him in the flesh, he appeared so ethereal, like a banished immortal who had stepped out from the pages of a painting. Her heart couldn’t help but stir with a sense of amazement and a faint tremor of excitement.
It wasn’t as if she had never seen a good-looking person before.
In the Cultivation World, individuals with remarkable beauty were a dime a dozen.
But Lu Changsheng was not only strikingly handsome;he carried an inexplicably magnetic aura.
Just looking at him was enough to make her feel a faint intoxication, as if bathed in the gentle breeze of spring, stirring within her an instinctive goodwill and sense of closeness.
So much so that the anger she had felt moments ago at the prospect of questioning him over grievances all but dissipated while taking in his elegant aura, comparable to pine trees and verdant cypresses.
Looking at him now, Song Qingzhi instinctively chose to believe that such a person could not have bad intentions.
She began suspecting that her apprentice and Song Cheng might have exaggerated their tale and twisted the facts to inflame her temper.
After all, she was well aware of the personalities of the two.
Though they wouldn’t dare outright lie to her, their arrogance toward a minor family under their jurisdiction probably played no small part in making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Hmm..."
Even Sima Qiuhua, gazing at Lu Changsheng, found herself momentarily dazed.
She had recently met Lu Changsheng at Bi Lake Mountain.
She had to admit, he was undeniably a rare specimen of male beauty.
But no matter how extraordinary he had seemed back then, he now looked even more transcendent, dazzling beyond compare, leaving an impression so captivating that all dislike or aversion she once harbored for him melted away as though they had never existed.
"What’s going on? Is this some kind of bewitching technique?"
A sudden pang of unease struck Sima Qiuhua’s heart, leading her to consider the possibility that she might have been enspelled by Lu Changsheng’s art of seduction.
Yet upon deeper reflection, she realized there was no such spell at play.
Instead, it became clear that Lu Changsheng now possessed an aura so refined and refreshing it irresistibly drew people closer.
Though Song Cheng could sense Lu Changsheng’s newfound refinement and charisma, he didn’t feel particularly affected.
In his mind, this was merely evidence that Lu Changsheng had deliberately groomed himself to come here seeking Xiao Xiyue.
"Hmph, what good is a handsome face? Junior Sister Xiyue isn’t someone so shallow!"

Song Cheng sneered internally.
"So, you are the infamous Lu Changsheng of Bi Lake Mountain?"
Song Qingzhi stepped forward and asked Lu Changsheng directly.
Her flawless and graceful features bore an air of regal elegance, her arched brows reminiscent of willow branches, exuding faint traces of stately authority.
"Hmm?"
Sima Qiuhua and Song Cheng exchanged surprised and puzzled glances upon witnessing this scenario.
What was happening?
Though others might not know, the two of them were well-acquainted with their master and master’s wife’s temperament.
Ever since Song Qingzhi’s Core Formation failure, resulting in her being left with a False Core, her previously steady personality had grown erratic and volatile.
Just moments ago, she had been seething with rage, ready to storm Bi Lake Mountain to demand retribution.
Now, with one glimpse of Lu Changsheng, her demeanor had inexplicably shifted into something as placid as a spring breeze?
"Could this be the calm before an even greater storm? Is Shi Niang perhaps at the height of her fury right now?"
Song Cheng speculated secretly.
In contrast, Sima Qiuhua glanced at Song Qingzhi with a peculiar expression.
Internally, she mused that her Shi Zun (master) might be preparing to let this matter slide simply because of Lu Changsheng’s extraordinary appearance and demeanor.
She knew her master was an ultimate "face-con" who had an unshakable obsession with physical beauty.
Even the disciples and servants Song Qingzhi recruited were subject to stringent standards of appearance.
"Yes, I am indeed Lu Changsheng," Lu Changsheng responded with a slight bow of courtesy toward the approaching Song Qingzhi.
Though he didn’t recognize her personally, glimpsing Song Cheng and Sima Qiuhua nearby allowed him to deduce that she must hail from Red Sun Peak.
Judging by the circumstances, it was likely that they had come with the intention of causing trouble for him.
However, something about her current attitude struck him as a little... odd.
Typically, Lu Changsheng rigorously restrained the effects of the Immortal Beauty Technique, Peach Blossom Gu, and Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body.
On this particular visit, he’d deliberately chosen to let their effects seep through, thinking he’d need every edge to soften Yun Wanshang’s aloof and guarded nature—an endeavor he already anticipated to be exceedingly difficult.
To be honest, though, he hadn’t utilized these abilities for years.
Especially after breaking into Core Formation, with the Peach Blossom Gu having ascended to the Third Rank and the Flawless Heavenly Fragrance Body unlocking deeper effects—he himself wasn’t entirely certain of the potency of his allure anymore.
Judging by the reaction of the False Core Immortal in front of him, however, it seemed the "charm factor" was rather... effective?
"Buzz—"
At that moment, a faint transmission from the Peach Blossom Gu at the center of his brow surfaced.
It hinted that if he handled this moment carefully, there was a fair chance for him to forge a Peach Blossom Fate with the woman before him.
"Damn it, how desperate are you?!"
Lu Changsheng cursed inwardly at the Peach Blossom Gu.
The parasite had only recently ascended to the Third Rank, thanks to the lucky draw of peach-blossom fortune it had absorbed from Bing’er.
But now, advancing to the Fourth Rank required an astronomical amount of love fortune—something nearly impossible to estimate.
The issue at hand was, this woman bore all the hallmarks of maturity in her elegant, imposing demeanor: an unmistakable noble charm exuding a maternal grace.
How could he, Lu Changsheng, involve himself in such an indecent entanglement?
Not to mention that juggling both Xiao Xiyue and Yun Wanshang’s entangled relationships was already enough of a head-splitting problem for him!
