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

Chapter 2007: 527 (2)

”What happened? Could it be that the heartfelt instinct earlier did not come from this woman?”

Lu Changsheng frowned, wanting to recall the feeling earlier, but found it difficult to capture.

”Forget it, let’s wait for people to arrive later and see.”

A moment later, Lu Changsheng stopped his calculations, shaking his head slightly.

...

At this moment, on an outer peak of the Goddess Palace, several disciples were gathered together.

”Song Junior Sister, I didn’t expect a noble lady like you to choose such a job as a steward servant.”

A woman with a pleasant appearance looked at a tall, beautiful, and taciturn woman nearby, speaking with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

The woman called Song Junior Sister blinked her eyes lightly, glanced at her, and didn’t reply.

”This is a Guest Elder at the late stage of Core Formation; how could there be competition for such a position.”
A man who admired Song Junior Sister immediately spoke up in her defense.

”Indeed, serving alongside such a Great Cultivator is a fortune that takes several lifetimes to cultivate.”

”That’s true, but Song Junior Sister is different from us.”

Seeing the situation, some fellow disciples helped speak in her defense, while others chuckled.

The reason is simple; no matter where, there are factions.

Such service work is mostly competed for by ordinary disciples of the Goddess Palace.

Song Yudie, being from one of the Core Formation Noble Families affiliated with Penglai Island, is considered a clan disciple.

Generally, clan disciples who join the Goddess Palace, regardless of how they are, won’t lower their status and compete with ordinary disciples for servitude positions.

But Song Yudie is the illegitimate daughter of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Song Family. When brought back initially, it caused discord.

Fortunately, she was found to have a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root, and her father sent her into the Goddess Palace for cultivation.

Yet, due to her status as an illegitimate daughter and her taciturn personality, she couldn’t blend into the clan disciples’ circle and lacked common topics with ordinary disciples, making her not very popular.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, a middle-aged man with a dignified air walked over and spoke, ”Where is Song Yudie?”

”Hmm!?”

The cultivators present all looked at Song Yudie, who was resting with her eyes closed nearby.

”Steward Luo.”

Song Yudie immediately opened her eyes, stepping forward to salute.

”Song Junior Sister, Elder Xuanmu has chosen you as the steward of Rongyue Island. Prepare yourself to report to Rongyue Island later.”

Steward Luo looked at Song Yudie with a kind voice.

Though a Guest Elder can’t compare to a core Elder.

But a Guest Elder at the late stage of Core Formation is still a formidable figure to them.

Becoming a steward for such a Guest Elder means essentially holding onto a powerful support!

And since Core Formation Cultivators usually engage in closed-door cultivation, managing a few affairs won’t be too busy or disrupt her own cultivation.

The biggest hidden benefit of serving such an Elder is that if the Elder is pleased, they might casually grant a bit of elixir or any permissible advantages, saving years of struggle.

Even if faced with a stingier Elder, as long as the service period is satisfactory with good evaluations, it provides priority in future sect core resource competitions.

This is why so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators willingly take up service positions.

”What, already selected?”

”Isn’t it usually choosing multiple people?”

”Yes, usually multiple people are selected first and then one is chosen.”

The cultivators on site expressed surprise at the news.

”Congratulations, Song Junior Sister.”

”No wonder Song Junior Sister, chosen at a glance by Elder Xuanmu.”

Immediately, someone congratulated Song Yudie, eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Becoming the steward of a Guest Elder in the late stage of Core Formation not only improves welfare and treatment but also elevates identity and status in the sect.

Some female disciples sized up Song Yudie’s appearance and figure, thinking they weren’t inferior, wondering why she was chosen over them.

But since the decision had been made, they dared not question it.

”Thank you, Steward Luo. I will prepare immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Song Yudie immediately saluted in thanks, filled with joy as she went back to prepare, feeling like she was dreaming.

She hadn’t expected to be directly chosen like this.

...

The next day, Song Yudie arrived at Rongyue Island to fulfill her duties.

Lu Changsheng looked at Song Yudie before him, the Peach Blossom Gu in the center of his brow awakening, sending a faint message.

It indicated forging a Peach Blossom Fate with her, offering him some help.

”It seems this woman is indeed not ordinary.”

Though Song Yudie’s appearance and figure were excellent, belonging to the upper class.

Yet the Peach Blossom Gu, being with him for a century, wouldn’t wake up merely for looks.

Most likely, she possessed a relatively strong Peach Blossom Luck.

Or... she was prosperous to her partner!

”I usually need to engage in closed-door cultivation, drawing talismans; you will be fully responsible for matters on the island, informing me only when you can’t resolve them.”

Lu Changsheng did not appear overly eager, speaking with a warm demeanor.

”Hmm?”

Song Yudie was stunned to see Elder Xuanmu being so amicable, feeling bewildered.

”Rest assured, Elder Xuanmu, Yudie will certainly manage Rongyue Island well.”

She quickly snapped back to reality, respectfully saluting with a tone full of joy.

”Alright, go ahead.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, signaling her departure.

Song Yudie walked out of the courtyard, still feeling somewhat dazed, dizzy.

Completely unable to comprehend why Elder Xuanmu chose her.

If it was about capability, she hadn’t demonstrated it.

If it was about appearance...

Just now, Elder Xuanmu’s gaze towards her was clear and gentle, devoid of any greed or covetousness.

Yet seeing this handsome and elegant Elder Xuanmu, she couldn’t help but feel more inclined toward him.
