I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 487 - : 487. Mother and daughter reunite, fulfilling their wish.

Chapter 487: 487. Mother and daughter reunite, fulfilling their wish.

Li Pei’s side was tense, swords drawn and crossbows loaded, yet elsewhere there was warmth.

“Thank you, Lord Lu, for the rescue. I’m sorry to have caused you trouble,” Xiao Qing bowed deeply with a sincere expression.

Lu Yao quickly helped her up, saying, “Madam, you are too polite. It is my duty to help.”

The moment he touched the arm of the beautiful matron, a stirring feeling arose in Lu Yao’s heart.

The girls in his own family were all young and taut, even Yu Yanmei, the eldest, was the same.

But this ripe madam before him was soft and tender to the touch, a sensation entirely different but very comforting.

...

Xiao Qing leveraged his support to stand, unaware of the many thoughts that had flashed through the mind of the powerful man before her.

She only felt that her youngest daughter was incredibly fortunate to be married to a Divine Manifestation!

She considered herself lucky through her daughter’s status, finally escaping from a life of suffering.

At that time, Liao Qe, with a smile as bright as flowers, clung to her mother’s arm and said coquettishly, “Lu Yao, thank you~”

Lu Yao smiled warmly, “Seeing you and your mother reunited fulfills a wish of mine.”

Impressed by her son-in-law’s strength and kindness, Xiao Qing voiced her approval, “Young Master Lu, my little girl is truly blessed to be married to you, a fortune she must have cultivated in a former life.”

Lu Yao responded with a modest smile, “Madam flatters me; it is I who am fortunate to have married the sisters.”

Xiao Qing grew more satisfied with her son-in-law, but something he said puzzled her, “Married the sisters?”

Liao Qe whispered in her ear, “Mother, my sister is also married to Lu Yao.”

Xiao Qing, who had been isolated in the “Cold Palace,” was not yet aware of this.

She didn’t mind at all, looking at her eldest daughter, who stood expressionless at a distance, she said softly:

“It’s good for the two sisters to be together, they can look after each other.”

Just as the atmosphere was becoming warmer, the sound of heavy footsteps approached.

It was Dong Fuxiang, leading a group of officers to report their gains and seek instructions for their next steps.

“Reporting to Lord Lu! The army has already purged the Yuan Residence!” Dong Fuxiang bowed deeply as he reported:

“We have annihilated 500 enemies, captured 4,000, and there are more than 20,000 servants and concubines awaiting their fate.

Additionally, we’ve seized 500,000 carriages laden with silver, countless jewels and antiques, as well as a thousand taels of gold and various Secret Manuals.”

After finishing his report, Dong Fuxiang presented a chest with both hands. Inside were the most precious gold and Secret Manuals, naturally to be offered first.

Lu Yao casually glanced at the contents and had Liao Ya put them away. After contemplating for a moment, he said:

“Only the ringleaders shall be punished; the others are not to be questioned. Release everyone who can be released.”

“Your mercy is profound, my Lord!” Dong Fuxiang bowed in agreement, and then added, “However, there is one person whom I dare not deal with on my own…”

An underling timely escorted a prisoner forward—it was a considerably thinner Xiao Zan Comrade!

At that moment, he was in a sorry state, his trousers filthy, and he immediately pleaded with Xiao Qing for mercy:

“Auntie, save me! I was bewitched, please spare my life!”

Lu Yao looked towards Madam Xiao, indicating for her to make the decision.

Xiao Qing’s face was as still as water, silent. She was an extremely gentle and soft-spoken woman, much like Liao Ya.

Such a woman seemed to have kindness written all over her face, likely to show leniency to a junior family member begging for mercy, even if that person had previously sought to offend her.

Everyone present, including Lu Yao, thought this would be the case.

Yet, Xiao Qing’s demeanor turned cold, and she said sternly, “It is a tragedy for our family to produce such a degenerate. I ask that you, Lord, deal with him to cleanse our family’s honor!”

As soon as she spoke, Xiao Zan’s face turned ashen with shock, and he tried to plead, “Auntie…”

But Xiao Qing had already turned away, refusing to look at him.

Dong Fuxiang, very astutely, quickly restrained Xiao Zan preventing him from speaking further, and then dragged him away for execution.

Xiao Qing observed Lu Yao’s expression throughout, and only when she saw that he remained impassive did she breathe a sigh of relief.

The happiness of my two daughters is what matters the most; everything else must make way.

Moreover, this is also a way to preserve the Xiao family. If sacrificing Xiao Zan can make Divine Manifestation experts let go of their grudges, then it’s a hugely profitable deal!

~~~~~~~~~~~

As Xiao Zan’s faint screams came through, the matter here was concluded for the moment.

Lu Yao called everyone over and said, “We shouldn’t let the night bring more dreams; let’s quickly take control of the entire southern region.”

Li Pei said with full confidence, “Now that Yuan Kaisheng is dead, the remaining forces are bound to surrender at the sight of us; we only need to make one round.”

Indeed, that was the case; the remaining tasks were quite simple.

Lu Yao said, “Then let’s set sail immediately and completely settle this matter.”

With that, he had the Willpower Golden Dragon breathe towards the Creation Immortal Boat, injecting countless Yan Huang willpowers into it to replenish its energy.

Out of the 20,000 warriors accompanying the ship, a thousand were left behind to wrap things up, while the rest gradually boarded the ship.

Li Pei went to find his master, who was examining the corpse of the Great Grandmaster, intending to board the ship together, but then he saw Yun Qinglan approaching.

At this moment, the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Sect was wearing a white dress that trailed on the ground. She looked as delicate as an orchid, exuding a kind of elegant and otherworldly fairy-like charm.

She was laughing and chatting with Mrs. Xiao and Liao Qe, looking very familiar with each other.

In front of her son-in-law, Mrs. Xiao praised, “We owe Qinglan a lot this time, otherwise, I might not have lived to see you.”

Liao Qe also said, “Thank you so much, I owe you a favor.”

Yun Qinglan waved her hand gently, humbly saying, “It was nothing; even without me, Lord Lu could have easily resolved this matter.”

The attitude of “not taking credit or being arrogant” left a great impression on the mother and daughter, who chatted with her for a while longer.

Liao Qe even pulled Yun Qinglan aside to whisper about how to use certain things in a box, showing their close relationship.

After a short chat, the Fairy Boat was ready to depart.

Yun Qinglan said respectfully to Lu Yao, “This concubine has important matters to attend to and cannot follow Lord Lu this time; I hope you will forgive me.”

Lu Yao said, “It’s alright; you go ahead with your matters.”

Yun Qinglan smiled, “You are in the Jin Wulou Realm; in a few days, I will give you a grand gift!”

Lu Yao became somewhat curious, “A grand gift? I’ll be looking forward to it.”

…

Seeing the group chat animatedly from afar, Li Pei was bitterly discontent, “This little slut actually managed to cozy up!”

~~~~~~~~~~

As the Fairy Boat departed at high speed, Yun Qinglan waved goodbye from the ground until it was completely out of sight before she stopped.

The Joyful Sect disciples who had come with her dared to approach only now, flattering her one after another:

“The Sect Master is indeed visionary, having formed ties with Lord Lu in advance! Our Joyful Sect has bet on the right horse this time!”

“The world is settling; from now on, it will be whatever Lord Lu says. Our sect will undoubtedly prosper!”

…

The crowd was enthusiastic, but Yun Qinglan raised her hand to quiet them, exuding the dignity of a Sect Master:

“This Lord Lu is not easy to serve, but as long as he is pleased, he’s also bound to be extremely generous.”

As she spoke, she touched the Ice Jade Ring on her index finger, eliciting envy from everyone.

At that moment, Qingluan, who had greatly contributed, seemed anxious in the crowd, her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to speak.

Yun Qinglan turned to her and said, “Our sect has always rewarded meritorious deeds. From today onwards, you are my direct disciple.”

Qingluan was overjoyed to the point of frenzy and immediately prostrated on the ground, “Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, Sect Master!”

With clear rewards and punishments, the disciples were even more sincerely devoted.

Yun Qinglan smiled faintly, her breath as sweet as orchids, “Let’s return to the sect and continue to work on Duan Zhigui tirelessly, aiming to send him to Lord Lu before the coronation ceremony.”
