Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family-Chapter 1069 - 236: Pioneer Order, Tianyuan Secret Realm Quota! (3)
He knew his eldest brother was formidable, possessing unmatched combat strength.
But he never expected his eldest brother to be so powerful as to suppress even a False Core Patriarch.
And just like that, their family was elevated to a False Core Family?
He had thought that, at the very least, it would take their family another thirty to fifty years to have any hope of being promoted to a False Core Family or even a Nascent Soul Noble Family.
"Young Master Lu, you’ve traveled a long way, so you may not have heard of this matter. Otherwise, just stopping by any marketplace to inquire would reveal the news."
The Head of the Xie Family greeted Lu Xingchen with great politeness.
After all, Lu Xingchen’s visit to them represented the goodwill of Bi Lake Mountain, signaling a desire to foster a friendly relationship with the Xie Family.
Under such circumstances, the family head naturally chose to personally host him.
"I indeed have been constantly traveling and haven’t had much opportunity to learn about the latest."
Lu Xingchen replied with a polite smile. Ads by PubFuture
His appearance bore a close resemblance to his father, Lu Changsheng. Added to that, his cultivation of the "Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture" lent him a similar refined and gentle demeanor, exuding a scholarly elegance.
"Young Master Lu, might I ask if you are betrothed? Our Xie Family..."
The Xie Family Head spoke with a gentle smile.
After all, the most common way for families to solidify alliances was through marriage!
The Xie Family elder’s recent trip to Bi Lake Mountain held such intentions, even considering marrying off a daughter to Lu Changsheng.
However, since the Lu Ancestor rarely appeared in public, leaving most affairs to Lady of the Lu Family, it became awkward for these family factions to propose marriage in person.
After all, who would directly ask another man’s wife whether her husband and their family wanted to establish a marital alliance?
Additionally, the Lu Ancestor’s status and position had risen significantly.
Sending an ordinary Qi Refinement woman over would only result in her becoming a maid, possibly not even qualified to be a concubine.
And sending Foundation Establishment women to marry was an unlikely prospect.
Thus, more and more families began shifting their attention to the younger generation of the Lu Family.
Though the Xie Family Head had not previously heard of Lu Xingchen,
seeing that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator caused the notion of marriage to surface in his mind.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Family Head Xie, but I currently have no plans for marriage."
Lu Xingchen replied sincerely.
While he didn’t object to marrying and starting a family—or even a marriage for political alliance—
such matters were not something he would decide on his own.
"Very well, Young Master Lu, since you’ve come such a long way, feel free to explore and enjoy yourself here. Let my Xie Family show proper hospitality as hosts."
The Xie Family Head maintained an amicable demeanor and continued to speak, intending to arrange for several family daughters to meet Lu Xingchen later.
If both sides were pleased with one another, that would be the ideal outcome.
...
Caiyun Peak.
Mingyue Residence.
Over recent days, Lu Changsheng had been deeply entangled with Xiao Xiyue, assisting her in her cultivation.

After all, Xiao Xiyue’s cultivation level was already at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer.
She would soon break through to the Eighth Layer.
Under such circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally needed to resolve Xiao Xiyue’s situation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if Xiao Xiyue reached the point of attempting a Core Formation breakthrough while the effects of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique remained unresolved, it would be quite troublesome.
"Buzz"
On the bed, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue were in harmony, yin and yang blending as an ethereal furnace floated above their heads, with the rotation of the sun and moon reflected within.
In the palace atop the peak, Yun Wanshang, sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes and couldn’t help but want to say, "Are they ever going to stop?"
Over the past few days, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue’s continuous practice of the Sun Moon Samsara Technique had caused her Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body to resonate uncontrollably, stirring faint ripples in her body.
This resonance had utterly distracted Yun Wanshang, leaving her unable to focus on her own cultivation.
"This won’t do. I need to figure out if there are any formations that can block out this sensation."
Yun Wanshang contemplated, considering how Lu Changsheng, now registered as a Guest Elder in Caiyun Peak, was bound to be around more often in the future.
She needed to find someone to arrange multiple formation layers to isolate this resonance as soon as possible.
Otherwise, how could she possibly cultivate in peace?
She really didn’t want to feel this strange, inexplicable sense of involvement...
"Huh?"
That day, Yun Wanshang blinked her beautiful eyes as if awakening from a dream, thinking to herself that there didn’t seem to be any ripples today?
Had they finally stopped, or had she just gotten used to it?
Replaying the memories in her mind, she couldn’t quite recall the last time the ripples had occurred.
Immediately, Yun Wanshang sent a sound transmission to her steward, Jinxiu, to head to Mingyue Residence and summon Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue.
At Mingyue Residence, when Xiao Xiyue heard from her maid, Green Willow, that the steward of the peak had come to summon her and Lu Changsheng, her fair and jade-like face flushed with a rosy blush.
She knew that her recent activities had certainly not escaped her master’s notice.
Or rather, her master was likely calling her now to remind her to take Lu Changsheng to complete his Guest Elder registration before addressing other matters.
Yet, after completing the Guest Elder registration, the two of them had become so entwined that they’d completely lost track of time.
"It’s all my fault. Anytime I’m with you, Xiyue, I lose all sense of time."
Lu Changsheng, however, remained remarkably calm, holding Xiao Xiyue’s graceful, mature, and seemingly moonlit flawless body with tenderness in his voice.
Since discovering that Caiyun True Immortal was the Core Formation woman he had once shared a fleeting connection with in his younger years—and with their multiple in-depth conversations since then—Lu Changsheng no longer held any reverence for her.
He only harbored the intention of making her the mother of his children.
After briefly indulging in each other’s company, the duo adjusted their attire and ascended to the grand palace at the peak, appearing like a celestial couple as they bowed respectfully in greeting.
"Truly..."
Yun Wanshang gazed at the pair outside, her heart filled with a mix of inexplicable and complex emotions.
"Boom!"
The palace doors swung open.
Yun Wanshang stepped out in a resplendent multicolored gown, its flowing hem cascading like clouds, accentuating her noble and majestic aura.
"Xiyue, I established a fifty-year pact with you, and half of that time has already passed."
"If in the remaining time you fail to break through to Core Formation, do not blame me for being merciless."
Yun Wanshang looked down at Xiao Xiyue, her voice cold and commanding.
