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

Chapter 487: The Xu Family has a Daughter, the Dragon Emperor Body!

“The Elder Ancestor of the Zheng Family has passed away in meditation?”

Lu Changsheng was not surprised by this news.

A few years ago, he had already discerned that the Elder Ancestor of the Zheng Family was nearing his end.

It was for this very reason that the Elder Ancestor of the Zheng Family had been continuously arranging affairs for the family in these recent years.

Whether it was offering a junior as a concubine or relinquishing profits from the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace or becoming a vassal to the Beast Taming Xu Family.

But it must be said that over these years, the Elder Ancestor of the Zheng Family indeed devoted himself wholeheartedly to the family.

Even though the Zheng Family currently has no Foundation Building Great Cultivator in residence, no family dares to provoke Wugong Ridge in the short term.

“Yes, the Elder Ancestor of the Zheng Family passed away peacefully in the family, which in the Cultivation World is considered a ‘Joyful Funeral’.”

“For this funeral, the Zheng Family will prepare a grand ceremony, and they have indicated in their letter that the Beast Taming Xu Family will also send representatives.”

“Therefore, husband, if you have time, you should personally attend and offer your respects.”
Lu Miaoyun began, addressing Lu Changsheng.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators have a lifespan of two hundred and forty years.

But to live to two hundred and pass away peacefully in meditation is considered dying a natural death, known as a ‘Joyful Funeral’.”

“Yun’er, when is the funeral to be held?”

Lu Changsheng nodded and asked.

Knowing that the Zheng Family had invited neighboring families and powers to this funeral was also the Zheng Family’s way of borrowing strength from the Xu Family to show their stance.

“In twenty-three days.”

Lu Miaoyun stated.

“Alright, remind me again when the time comes.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He knew that for such matters, he, as the Family Head, must make the trip himself.

Putting aside his own family’s relationship with the Zheng Family,

just for the sake of the Beast Taming Xu Family, he should also make the visit.

After that, he informed his concubine Zheng Yongwan about the matter,

asking her to accompany him when the time came.

…

Twenty days later,

Lu Changsheng, accompanied by his concubine Zheng Yongwan, arrived at Wugong Ridge.

The name Wugong Ridge might not sound too pleasant, but the environment was quite nice, with clear mountains and beautiful waters.

It was named Wugong Ridge because it was abundant with Spiritual Insects.

Particularly, a type of Spiritual Insect known as the ‘Iron Line Centipede’ was used by the Zheng Family to brew ‘Centipede Wine,’ which was a very successful business. ɌÂΝȱВЕȘ

“The Elder Ancestor of the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family, has arrived!”

The Zheng Family hosts at the mountain gate spotted Lu Changsheng and immediately announced loudly.

Subsequently, a Zheng Family elder rushed over to invite Lu Changsheng to the Zheng Family estate.

The place had already been arranged in the style of a mourning hall, where clusters of family juniors dressed in white mourning clothes.

“Husband…”

Zheng Yongwan, upon viewing this scene, also showed a touch of sorrow and grief on her face.

Although she had not spent much time with the Zheng Family Ancestor and did not have deep feelings,

she was, after all, a legitimate descendant of the Zheng Family and had grown up in Wugong Ridge under the protection of this Elder Ancestor.

“Grieve not.”

Lu Changsheng patted her hand and accompanied her to the front of the coffin, twisted three incense sticks, and solemnly bowed.

“Lu Ancestor, this way please.”

“There are two days left before the funeral. Yongwan, you may show Lu Ancestor around the house.”

The Zheng Family elder spoke respectfully, arranging for Lu Changsheng to rest.

Normally, as a direct daughter of the family, someone like Zheng Yongwan should have helped out a little.

But as she was Lu Changsheng’s concubine, her status was established here,

so it was impossible to have her do any such thing—an appropriate reception for Lu Changsheng would suffice.

As the day of the funeral approached, people began to arrive one after another.

Two days later, Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang also arrived at Wugong Ridge to attend the funeral.

“Uncle, Daoist Bai.”

Lu Changsheng saw the two men and greeted them with a cupped fist.

“Changsheng, Lu Daoist!”

“Lu Mountain Lord, long time no see!”

Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang greeted Lu Changsheng.

Besides the two, many other family powers arrived, and upon seeing Lu Changsheng, they all greeted him.

Soon after, Lu Changsheng and people from these Foundation Establishment families arranged by the Zheng Family took their seats in a large hall to chat casually.

“Elder Ancestor of the Yu Shui Xu Family, has arrived!”

At that moment, a loud announcing voice came from outside.

Soon after, Patriarch Zheng, accompanied by a tall, dignified man with hawk-like eyes dressed in a golden robe, walked into the hall.

Following the man in the golden robe were two men and a woman.

One of the women had a sorrowful countenance, while a man next to her had his arm around her shoulder, comforting her.

“Elder Ancestor Xu has been seen!”

“Greetings to Daoist Xu!”

“Great-grandfather!”

Many in the hall stood up and greeted the man in the golden robe with cupped fists.

Lu Changsheng had perused the general information on the Yu Shui Xu Family.

He knew that the man in the golden robe was named Xu Renguang, one of the Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the Yu Shui Xu Family.

“Xu pays respects to all Daoist friends here.”

The golden robed man showed a cheerful and straightforward smile, cupping his hands and addressing everyone.

After Elder Ancestor Xu took his seat, the funeral banquet also began.

“Hmm?”

During the midst of the convivial conversation, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt something and turned his head to look towards a woman sitting next to Elder Ancestor Xu.

This woman appeared to be around twenty years old, extremely beautiful.

With soft, lustrous fiery red hair and a beautifully ornate dress of red and gold, her figure was exquisitely curvaceous.

Lu Changsheng looked at the woman, clearly not because of her appearance or features.

It was her Divine Sense, comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment, that made him acutely aware that this woman had been observing him ever since she entered the hall.

As if realizing that Lu Changsheng had noticed her, the red-haired woman drifted her gaze away elegantly, picked up her chopsticks gracefully, and began to chew on a slice of meat slowly and daintily.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng did not pay much mind.

After all, it was quite normal for his charm to compel a woman to steal a few extra glances.

However, he still noticed that the woman continued to sneak peeks at him.

Just then, the red-haired woman whispered something to Xu Renguang.

The next thing he knew, Xu Renguang approached Lu Changsheng with a glass of wine, his face wearing a polite smile, and said, “Master Lu, my granddaughter is preparing to tame a Heavenly Fire Mink and requires the use of a Second Rank Mystical Frost Talisman.”
