Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 556: Chapter 220: Test of Human Nature! Death Flag!_2

“It’s only because he has an exceptional talent in the Talisman Path that he was favored by the Lu Family, slowly rising to become their son-in-law.”

“Despite being just an unwanted son-in-law with a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, even if his talent in the Talisman Path is extraordinary, his cultivation resources are limited. It’s impossible for him to reach the Ninth Level Energy Refinement in just twenty years.”

“So there must be a huge problem, he must have encountered some great fortune!”

Yu Ninghu’s expression was solemn as he spoke.

When Lu Changsheng became a Second Grade Talisman Master, he had been paying attention, and had investigated Lu Changsheng’s background.

He felt that this person was problematic.

...
Now seeing Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he could almost confirm that there was a big issue with Lu Changsheng.

“Exactly!”

“Back then, the Lu Family joined forces with the Bai Family to attack the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley.”

“The reason Red Leaf Valley fell so swiftly, annihilated, was precisely because a Guest Elder of the Chen Family betrayed them at that time.”

“And this Guest Elder has a significant relationship with Lu Changsheng, so this Lu Changsheng is definitely not simple.”

Yu Jinyang nodded in agreement and spoke out.

In his words, a trace of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

He contemplated whether to find an opportunity to eliminate Lu Changsheng.

Otherwise, letting such a person continue to grow was indeed worrisome to him.

“Elder, we must not.”

“Lu Changsheng’s sudden breakthrough to Foundation Establishment must be due to some unknown secret, he has been hiding his clumsiness all this time.”

“No one knows how much he has hidden, this trip outside might have been precisely for a covert breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”

“Moreover, this person is also a Second Grade Talisman Master, he must have many life-saving Talismans in hand.”

Yu Ninghu saw the murderous intent of their family elder and slightly shook his head.

To him, Lu Changsheng’s ability to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment must be due to a great opportunity.

It was even possible that he had obtained a rare legacy.

Under such circumstances, it was too risky for his family to rashly attack the other party.

If they failed to kill him, it would bring lots of trouble.

“Hmm, I naturally understand,” the elder said.

“But we still need to keep a close watch on this Lu Changsheng; this young man’s growth is indeed somewhat demonic.”

“A son-in-law with a Lower Grade Spiritual Root to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in just over twenty years?” Yu Jinyang said in a deep voice.

…

Hundred Birds Lake, Bai Family.

“Lu Changsheng has broken through Foundation Establishment?”

The Bai Family Head squinted his eyes as he read the letter in his hand.

“However, this event is also a good thing for our Bai Family.”

“Feifei has already borne a child for Lu Changsheng.”

“If this child has a Spiritual Root, and the Spiritual Root Talent is not bad, our Bai Family’s relationship with Lu Changsheng can be further strengthened.”

The Bai Family Head muttered to himself as he looked at the letter in his hand.

He then proceeded to the lakeside courtyard.

“What is it?”

From inside the secret chamber of the courtyard, a deep and robust voice asked.

“Brother Yang, just now Feifei sent a letter, saying that Lu Changsheng of Qingzhu Mountain had returned from his outside breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!”

The Bai Family Head spoke out, addressing the family’s newly advanced elder.

“Lu Changsheng? That man has actually broken through Foundation Establishment?”

“I felt there was something unusual about that person, and now it seems he is truly extraordinary.”

A man in his thirties, tall and wearing a black robe embroidered with flying birds, stepped out of the small courtyard.

He was the Bai Family’s newly advanced elder, Bai Yunyang.

“Oh, Brother Yang, you’ve met this Lu Changsheng before?”

The Bai Family Head asked, somewhat surprised.

“Back when the family wanted me to marry Lu Miaoge, I met him several times in Nine Dragons Market and paid some attention to him,” Bai Yunyang replied.

At that time, knowing that the head of the Lu Family was nearing the end of his life and both families needed to maintain their relationship, the Bai Family hoped he would marry Lu Miaoge.

Lu Miaoge, not only had a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, she was also an upper-class Talisman Master at a young age.

If he could marry her, it would not only be beneficial to the family, but also to him.

Unfortunately, Lu Miaoge had expressed that she was devoted to cultivation and had no such intentions, so he had to leave empty-handed.

Later, when he found out that Lu Miaoge married Lu Changsheng, he paid some attention to Lu Changsheng.

He believed that if Lu Miaoge was willing to marry Lu Changsheng, this man must be extraordinary.

“I see, I hadn’t expected that you and this Lu Changsheng were once love rivals, Brother Yang.”

The Bai Family Head and Bai Yunyang had grown up together.

So even with the latter becoming the family elder, they could still joke around.

“Ha, it’s hardly a matter of being love rivals.”

“After all, I never competed with him for anything,” Bai Yunyang said calmly.

Indeed, he had once been captivated by Lu Miaoge.

But he was not so infatuated with a woman that he would keep thinking about her incessantly.

“Since this Lu Changsheng has broken through Foundation Establishment, our Bai Family should still prepare a gift.”

“Moreover, now that Feifei has married Lu Changsheng as a concubine and has given birth to a child, when you go there, you can talk with Feifei, and see her opinion of Lu Changsheng.”

“After all, after the battle at Blackwater Pool, the Lu Family’s Patriarch Yuan Zhong suffered severe injuries and his current condition is not good; it’s uncertain how long he can live…” Bai Yunyang said softly.

“Yes!”

The Bai Family Head picked up on the hidden meaning in the elder’s words.

…

Wugong Ridge, Zheng Family.

“Lu Changsheng has broken through to Foundation Establishment.”

“It seems it was not in vain that our family’s elder humbled himself to give away Xiao Wan as a concubine to this Lu Changsheng,” the Zheng Family’s elder mumbled to himself upon receiving the news.

“Now that Lu Changsheng has made a breakthrough, perhaps I can use this Lu Changsheng, and the Lu and Bai families to stir things up…”

He was aware that his family had long been infiltrated by the Yu Family.

But the most depressing thing for a family is to have no successor to carry on the legacy.

Like the Lu and Bai families, even if something happens to the elder, at least there are younger members who can try for Foundation Establishment!

But his Zheng Family, the old are too old, the young too young.

There’s not a single promising seed in their midst capable of challenging Foundation Establishment.

What a sad state of affairs!

Moreover, the Zheng Family’s elder even suspected that some of the family’s former seeds might have fallen victim to the Yu Family’s schemes.
