Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 1008: 218: Auction, Robber Cultivator Causes Trouble! (Two in One) (2)

”Humph, mom and I have been waiting for him for so long, and he didn’t even show up.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Wangshu immediately pouted with a coquettish hum.

This time she had invited her mother Xiao Xiyue over, hoping for a family reunion, but her own father ended up not coming.

”It’s alright, Wangshu.”

Just then, Xiao Xiyue emerged from the courtyard, dressed in a moon-white dress, with a cool and beautiful face and graceful curves, resembling a Moon Palace Fairy.

”Miaoge.”

Xiao Xiyue looked towards Lu Miaoge and nodded slightly.

Because of Lu Changsheng and her daughter, she had a pretty good relationship with Lu Miaoge.

”Xiyue, Changsheng truly has some matters to attend to and can’t get away at the moment.”

Lu Miaoge explained on behalf of her husband as she looked at the fairy-like figure before her.
”It’s fine.”

Xiao Xiyue’s expression remained cool and sanctified as she gently shook her head.

She knew that Lu Changsheng, who was breaking through to Core Formation, whether in practicing cultivation methods and abilities or in refining Magical Treasures, was veiy time-consuming and could no longer afford the leisureliness of earlier years.

The group entered the courtyard to chat.

Li Xingruo was not familiar with Xiao Xiyue and didn’t try to forcefully join the conversation;instead, she went to find her sister Li Xingyu and her daughter Lu Qingli.

”Let’s go, Qing Xuan, Qi’er, sister will take you to look around.”

Feeling somewhat bored, Lu Wangshu turned to her younger siblings and spoke.

”Hee hee, thank you, sister.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqi immediately responded with joy, happily clutching Lu Wangshu’s arm.

She was very fond of this sister.

After all, this sister was very generous and open-handed;as long as she behaved obediently and showed her cuteness a bit, she often bought her nice things to eat and play with.

Lu Qing Xuan followed, quiet and serene, staying by the side of her two sisters.

Only occasionally did she ask Lu Wangshu some questions about the marketplace and the situation there.

...

At the same time, many powers that were keeping an eye on Blue Lake Mountain’s situation were secretly scheming and discussing fervently.

”Lu Changsheng actually hasn’t shown up, only sending Lu Miaoge alone?”

”The two of them practicing Dual Cultivation Techniques, their combat power would significantly decrease if they were separated. Lu Changsheng definitely wouldn’t do something so foolish. Could this be a deliberate ploy to provoke an attack?”

”Should we seize this opportunity to deal with Lu Miaoge!”

”Whoever wins the Foundation Establishment Elixir, the moment they leave the marketplace, we strike!”

”If they dare to attempt Foundation Establishment in the Red Leaf Valley Market, we’ll directly dismantle their market’s Great Formation!”

”White Tiger Mountain’s guardian Spiritual Beast is currently stationed in Red Leaf Valley Market. With no Foundation Establishment cultivator available to protect White Tiger Mountain, we could take this opportunity to wreak havoc.”

”Blue Lake Mountain placed its main Puppet industry on White Tiger Mountain, they definitely have some defenses set up. Perhaps Lu Changsheng is lurking on White Tiger Mountain, so it’s safer to target Monkey Hill instead.”

”Though Monkey Hill doesn’t have any publicly known Foundation Establishment Cultivator sitting in, I suspect, just like the early years of White Tiger Mountain, they have hidden Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”

”Humph, I don’t believe that Monkey Hill also has a Lu Ping’an!”

These forces were secretly conspiring to strike at Blue Lake Mountain during this opportunity.

After all, the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family’s rise to power had been very prominent recently.

With both establishing a chamber of commerce and hosting such a large auction event.

If the auction was to be successfully held, Blue Lake Mountain’s reputation was sure to advance further.

By then, when their fame spread throughout the Qingyun Region, and even throughout the entire Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, countless Loose Cultivators and small Family Forces would deliver Foundation Establishment Pill materials they collected with great difficulty to Blue Lake Mountain for Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Under such circumstances, who could stop the rise of Blue Lake Mountain!

So now, while there was still a chance, they naturally wanted to press down on the power of Blue Lake Mountain and prevent its smooth rise.

...

The next day, the auction officially began.

On the streets, countless Cultivators headed towards the auction venue.

”Good heavens, so many Foundation Establishment Ancestors.”

”Sss, isn’t this the famous Qi Refinement perfection master among Loose Cultivators, the Thousand-Extinction Hermit?”

”Aren’t these people from Jinlong Ridge Jin Family? They’ve actually come to attend the auction?”

”...”

The crowd was abuzz with talk as Hong Yi, dressed in a purple garment, his face now lined with wrinkles, arrived at the auction venue with his son Hong Xuanji.

”Time flies, indeed.”

Hong Yi looked at the bustling venue before him, his expression laden with emotion.

As he grew older, he seldom left Ruyi Prefecture and had not been to Red Leaf Valley Market for almost ten years.

He came this time upon hearing about the Foundation Establishment Elixir, wanting to join in the excitement and also to meet Lu Changsheng.

Looking at the now completely transformed and bustling Red Leaf Valley Market, he felt a mix of familiarity and strangeness.

He clearly remembered that when Red Leaf Valley Market was still in preparation, he had purchased a shop here for one thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones through his connection with Lu Changsheng.

However, with the prosperity of Red Leaf Valley Market, the price of this shop has also increased several times over.

With the speed at which his Ruyi Marquis Mansion earned money, it would take decades to accumulate enough Spirit Stones to buy a shop like this.

At the entrance of the auction venue, a Lu Family disciple who was maintaining order saw Hong Yi and Hong Xuanji and immediately approached them politely: ”I’ve seen uncle Hong, and I’ve seen brother-in-law.”

”Yun Fei.”

Hong Xuanji recognized this Lu family’s son and exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

After that, the two were led to the VIP seats.

Normally, based on their status, it would be difficult for them to sit in the VIP area.

But Hong Yi was after all an old friend of Lu Changsheng, so Lu Xingyang had reserved some seats early on.

”Xuanji, why hasn’t Caizhen come?”

After sitting down, Hong Yi glanced around at the other seats. He saw many Lu family’s sons but did not see Lu Caizhen, expressing his surprise.

He had previously thought his daughter-in-law would be together with other Lu Family Disciples or be arranged to deal with some affairs.

”Father-in-law, Caizhen has other arrangements from the family, so she has been quite busy these days.”

Hong Xuanji paused for a moment and whispered in reply.
