Chapter 730: Chapter 272: Seed of Law! Xiao Xiyue Departs!_3
“That bastard dared to bully little Zhu’er, I’m already being lenient by not killing him!”
Lu Qingshan, dressed in a golden and white magical robe, clenched his fist inside his sleeve as he spoke coldly.
“You’re only at the Fourth Level Energy Refinement, and the other party has reached the Sixth Level. How could you kill him?”
Tianyuan True Immortal, looking at her disciple with a wine gourd to her red lips, took a sip with apparent nonchalance and said.
“Because he doesn’t dare to kill me!”
Lu Qingshan, standing tall and straight before the Tianyuan True Immortal, spoke assuredly.
“Oh, and you’re not afraid that killing him would bring trouble?”
“Among sects, it’s a grave sin to kill a fellow disciple.”
Yan Yuan rested an elbow on the armrest, her head propped in her hand, her hair cascading down, and her lush, bare legs crossed as she said with interest.
“Afraid, but if someone dares to bully my sister, as her brother, it’s my duty to seek revenge!”
Lu Qingshan’s clenched fist relaxed, and he then said with a smile, “Jinyun Peak and our Tian Yuan Peak have never gotten along. They are clearly provoking us on purpose. How can you, Master, simply stand by and watch?”
“Besides, if I at the Qi Refinement Fourth Level manage to slaughter someone at the Sixth Level, I’d be bringing honor to our Tian Yuan Peak and to you, Master. Would you still punish me for that?”
Lu Qingshan said so.
“Your temperament really is…”
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan cracked a smile, waved her hand, and said, “Alright, I’ll take care of this matter.”
“There are plenty of wild beasts on Tian Yuan Peak. If you’re hungry, you can hunt on the mountain as practice.”
“If you’re really starving and can’t find any game, you can ask Xiao Bai for help.”
Yan Yuan said so.
“Yes, Master,”
Lu Qingshan bowed in response.
“Alright, off you go, or little Zhu’er will start worrying again, thinking that I’m blaming you.”
Yan Yuan shook her head gently and took another sip from her wine gourd.
Watching Lu Qingshan leave the hall, she revealed a hint of chill on her otherwise lazy and casually beautiful face, “I, Yan Yuan, am often away from the sect and don’t manage affairs, but they really think they can bully my Tian Yuan Peak so easily!”
“Brother!”
As soon as Lu Qingshan left the hall, Lu Qingzhu hurried over with concern.
“Little Zhu’er, Master was just asking what happened, there’s no need to worry,”
Lu Qingshan looked at his sister, immediately showing a carefree smile and ruffling her head as he said.
“Brother, don’t fight with others next time, does it hurt?”
Lu Qingzhu looked at Lu Qingshan’s somewhat swollen cheek, her eyes red with concern as she spoke softly.
“It doesn’t hurt at all. This time I was a bit off, I couldn’t slaughter him. Next time something like this happens, I’ll definitely take down that bastard!”
Lu Qingshan said with an easy grin.
“It’s my fault for being useless, I can’t help brother at all, and instead, I’m just a burden,”
Lu Qingzhu’s eyes teared up as she spoke.
“How could that be? It’s a brother’s duty to protect his sister. If something similar happens in the future, you must tell me sooner. Don’t keep it to yourself, understand?”
Lu Qingshan said with a gentle smile, lightly flicking Lu Qingzhu’s delicate little nose.
After spending some time with Lu Qingzhu, and telling the young girl to rest, Lu Qingshan ran to the back mountain and shouted towards the sky, “Fairy Crane, Fairy Crane!”
“What is it, boy?”
Soon after, a majestic and handsome crane, over ten feet tall with fiery red plumage swooped down from the sky.
“Look, I was beaten up in a fight today, it hurts like hell. Give me some of your divine saliva…”
Lu Qingshan pointed to the injuries on his cheek and arm, and spoke up.
“Go on, trying to trick this fairy into giving you divine saliva again? Nothing doing!”
Upon hearing this, the crane spread its wings and took off.
Yet, just as it took flight, seeing Lu Qingshan’s appearance, it still threw down a small porcelain bottle saying, “Fine, fine, here’s a bottle for you, boy.”
“Hehe, thanks a lot!”
Lu Qingshan caught the small porcelain bottle and shouted his thanks to the white crane.
…
Half a month later.
Bi Lake Mountain.
Inside the Lu Family Mansion, the hall of deliberation.
This day marked the Lu Family’s annual family meeting.
Lu Changsheng sat in the main seat, listening to reports from his wife and children below.
This year, the overall situation for Bi Lake Mountain was still in deficit.
However, with the family disciples becoming proficient in their trades, and with an increase in the number of spirit farmers, spirit plant carers, fishermen, and beast tamers, the revenue from the spirit fields and fisheries showed steady improvement.
The puppet workshop and wine brewing shop had also started to turn a profit, so the overall deficit wasn’t large, amounting to a total loss of six thousand eight hundred and ninety-two spirit stones.
The reason for a deficit of over six thousand spirit stones was entirely due to the large expenses and outlay for the Lu Family disciples.
One reason was that the benefits provided to the Lu Family disciples were relatively generous.
Additionally, the children in the family were gradually getting married.
Like my son Lu Yun, who had already married one and brought in three.
Other sons who wished to marry also could mostly take wives with Spiritual Roots.
In such circumstances, the family’s expenses had significantly increased.
As for these expenses, Lu Changsheng had no objections.
After all, as long as his children were willing to marry and have children, he would be happy, even if it meant a little more expense.
After briefly summarizing the year, Lu Changsheng saw that the family was progressing steadily and felt that in another two years, he could choose a few of his children to appoint as the Family Head and Elders.
In that way, he would be completely free from worrying about these trivial matters.
After the family meeting concluded, it was time for Xiao Xiyue to return to Qingyun Sect to report back.
She had been assigned to situate at Bi Lake Mountain for three years, and now that the time was up, she must return to Qingyun Sect.
Seven days later, Xiao Xiyue said farewell to her daughter Lu Wangshu.
She expressed that she had to leave and would come to see her whenever she had time.
“Mother…”
Upon hearing that her mother was leaving, Lu Wangshu’s eyes immediately reddened, and she cried out sobbingly.
Initially, she and Xiao Xiyue were not very close.
But over these three years, aside from her daily meditation times, Xiao Xiyue spent most of her time doting on her daughter, indulging her every whim.
So now, hearing that her mother was leaving, Lu Wangshu was extremely sad and reluctant to part.
“Little Wangshu, don’t cry. Mother will come to visit you when I have time,”
Xiao Xiyue, seeing her daughter like this, instantly felt a bit flustered. Her beautiful face was filled with confusion as she comforted her.
“If little Wangshu misses mother, you can also come to see me anytime.”
Lu Changsheng, watching this scene, crouched down and comforted his daughter in a gentle voice.
He had long realized why many cultivators were reluctant to start families and have children.
It was still manageable during the Qi Refinement Realm.
But when a cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, they may close off to meditate for several months, or even one or two years.
If they reached the Core Formation Stage, this period could extend to several years, or even decades.
This also meant there would be no time to accompany their children.
Possibly after one meditation session, the children would have grown up, leading to an indifferent relationship between them.
Or, due to the lack of guidance, they might develop a problematic character and bring disaster upon themselves.
In the case of Xiao Xiyue, spending so much time accompanying her daughter was indeed a hindrance to her cultivation.
As for himself, his cultivation was completely casual, wholly reliant on consuming pills and exploiting loopholes.
“Mother, I will miss you…”
Lu Wangshu, smart and sensible since childhood, wiped the corner of her eyes and spoke quietly.
“Mother will miss little Wangshu too.”
Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips and spoke, even harboring a thought to continue staying at Bi Lake Mountain to accompany her daughter.
“Sigh.”
Lu Changsheng watched this scene and was tempted to let Xiao Xiyue take Lu Wangshu to Qingyun Sect.
But knowing Xiao Xiyue’s personality, she would dote on the child every day if she took her with her, which might severely hinder her cultivation.
Moreover, once Xiao Xiyue returned to her sect, there would be other duties, and she wouldn’t have much time to care for the child.
Eventually, after a heartfelt farewell between mother and daughter, Xiao Xiyue departed.
“It’s okay, daddy is here. Come on, daddy will take you fishing.”
Lu Changsheng, looking at his daughter who still had somewhat red eyes, said soothingly.
Now that Xiao Xiyue had left, he, as the father, would naturally spend more time with his daughter, helping her move past her sadness as quickly as possible.
“Daddy, I want to hear a story.”
Lu Wangshu looked up with her little head and said.
“Alright.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, “Once upon a time, there was a mountain, on the mountain there was a temple, inside the temple there was a…”
…
In a marketplace.

“Hong Lian senior, I have gathered all the materials required to use the secret Divine Technique. Can I now stealthily enter Bi Lake Mountain?”
Xu Ruyin spoke in her mind.
“Bi Lake Mountain is merely a Second Rank Great Formation. With my Seamless Celestial Clothes Divine Technique, sneaking in will not be difficult.”
“However, taking away a Heaven Rank Demon Beast still carries some risk. Are you sure you have thought this through?”
An ethereal and elegant voice, as gentle as the singing of heaven, echoed in Xu Ruyin’s mind.
“Hong Lian senior, I have thought it through. When I started practicing the Beast Technique, I was ready!”
Xu Ruyin, with her delicate and stunning beauty, expressed her determination.
