Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1755: 446: The Qingyun Sect’s Attitude! (3)

"I’ll meet with the Sect Leader a bit later."

Lu Changsheng held the fairy in his embrace, silently treasuring the quiet moment.

He possessed no desire for the minor territories held by the Qingyun Sect.

Since Bi Lake Mountain was already well-established and housed the Mount Sumeru Tree King along with the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, it was perfectly suited as a foundation for raising his descendants.

Furthermore, given the teacher-and-disciple bonds shared with Xiao Xiyue, Chu Qingyi, and Yun Wanshang, he had no wish to seize these assets, as doing so would put them in an awkward position.

"Mm~"

Xiao Xiyue was well aware of Lu Changsheng’s current battle prowess, which was likely sufficient to allow him to supplant the Qingyun Sect entirely.

...

Following several days of peaceful rest, Lu Changsheng departed from Mingyue Residence to convene with the Qingyun Sect Leader and discuss matters thoroughly.

"Sect Leader, over these past years, I have dedicated the bulk of my focus and vitality to the Talisman Path. The City Lord has given his word that once I produce the Fourth Rank Talisman they require, a portion of the Immortal City's authority will be transferred to me."

"Consequently, I haven’t been able to give much attention to the internal affairs of Bi Lake Mountain. Regarding Jiuyou's growth, it is partly due to its own unique opportunities and bloodline mutations, but also because I am frequently away from the family to defend against unforeseen threats..."

Lu Changsheng continued to use the Great Dream Immortal City as his justification, suggesting it was impossible for him to oversee family business at this time.

In addition, several family businesses had already relocated to Great Dream Immortal City; since he and his wife Lu Miaoge would spend most of their time there, they had no intention of encroaching upon the spirit lands belonging to the Qingyun Sect’s families.

Had Lu Changsheng made such claims immediately after his Foundation Establishment breakthrough, the Qingyun Sect Leader might have felt he was preparing to abandon them and felt some resentment, but the current situation was different.

The Sect Leader even showed proactive concern, asking about Lu Changsheng’s progress as a Fourth Rank Talisman Master. He mentioned that the Qingyun Sect still possessed some high-grade talisman paper and spirit ink, offering the sect's help in gathering materials for talisman crafting if needed.

Since they could not afford to be enemies, the Qingyun Sect Leader opted to solidify their alliance, increasing his investment as a way to curry favor with the successful Cultivator.

After all, putting aside the early gossip regarding his many wives, Lu Changsheng’s character was flawless in every other regard.

Since he married into the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain decades ago, he had remained devoted to them, even choosing to hold the Core Formation ceremony for his wife, Lu Miaoge, at Qingzhu Mountain.

Despite taking several wives, he never treated any of them poorly.

His Core Formation pact with Xiao Xiyue and his tireless efforts to obtain the Coagulation Crystal Elixir for Lu Miaoge were celebrated throughout Jiang Country as a pinnacle of devotion between Dao companions, leading many to dream of a fated meeting with the Lu Ancestor.

From these actions, his true nature was clear; the Lu Ancestor was a man of immense loyalty and gratitude who would repay a small favor a hundredfold!

Therefore, under these circumstances and after consulting the Supreme Elder, the Qingyun Sect Leader was eager to invest more in Lu Changsheng to maintain a positive relationship.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Lu Changsheng did not decline the offer, cupping his hands in a gesture of thanks.

Talisman materials of the Third Rank Top Level were exceptionally scarce, and relying solely on the Great Dream Immortal City to source them would be insufficient.

With the Qingyun Sect’s assistance, he would be spared a great deal of trouble.

If the need arose, he could later provide some Third Rank Top Level Talismans to the Qingyun Sect in return.

...

Once his discussion with the Qingyun Sect Leader concluded, Lu Changsheng went back to Bi Lake Mountain to brief Lu Miaoyun on the sect's position.

As long as the family did not act excessively by aggressively absorbing subordinate powers, the Qingyun Sect would not interfere.

Should the family face any difficulties or crises, they were encouraged to seek immediate aid and support from the Qingyun Sect.

Naturally, if the Qingyun Sect made a request that wasn't unreasonable, the family was expected to provide their assistance and support without refusal.

"Mm~"

Lu Miaoyun gave a soft nod, having grasped the general sentiment of the Qingyun Sect.

It signified that they were no longer viewed merely as a subordinate family force, but were being treated with a higher level of respect.

Even if that respect was granted somewhat begrudgingly.

Still, the realization that their family was finally being recognized by the once-unreachable Qingyun Sect filled her with a profound sense of pride and success.

Without realizing it, the once-modest family of Bi Lake Mountain had transformed into the premier Great Clan of Jiang Country.

With the family matters settled, Lu Changsheng brought Nangong Mili and his son, Lu Minghuang, to Great Dream Immortal City.

Though Nangong Mili seemed slightly frustrated due to the lack of recent quality time together, she spent most of her days within the courtyard, so there was no real trouble at home.

However, over the long term, such a situation would certainly become unsustainable.
