Establish A Long-Lived Family From The Son-In-Law

Chapter 128: The Ten-Year Promise, Seeking Revenge

The sky was cloudless, with a clear and pristine blue.

A flying boat slowly descended from the sky outside the Ru Yi County.

Lu Changsheng took out a transmission symbol and sent a message to Hong Yi and Li Feiyu.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Hong Yi and Li Feiyu rushed out of the city.

"Hong Brother, Feiyu."

Lu Changsheng greeted the two.

Then he introduced Hong Yi to Qu Zhenzhen and the children.

After a brief introduction and greetings, Lu Changsheng asked Qu Zhenzhen to take the children into the carriage and enter the city.

"Changsheng, I heard from Hong Brother that the Lu family has destroyed the Hongye Valley?"

At this moment, Li Feiyu looked at Lu Changsheng and asked.

He had been paying attention to the affairs of Qingzhu Mountain and Hongye Valley.

Now that some time had passed, he had also gathered information about the Lu family and the Chen family.

Knowing that the Lu family had destroyed the Hongye Valley, he was extremely surprised and didn't know what had happened.

"That's right."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He didn't hide anything.

He roughly explained the situation of the Lu family and the Chen family.

At the same time, he asked Li Feiyu about his future plans.

Was he planning to continue in the secular world or return to Qingzhu Mountain?

He could tell that Li Feiyu's cultivation was still at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

In the secular world, even with a small gathering spirit array set up by him, cultivation was still very difficult.

It couldn't compare to cultivating in a place with spiritual veins like Qingzhu Mountain.

"No, now that the children are much older and have my parents taking care of them, I plan to finish this year and then go to the immortal realm to try my luck and see if there are any opportunities."

Li Feiyu said so.

He had never given up on cultivating immortality.

Knowing his current situation, if he didn't go and try his luck, he wouldn't even have a chance to reach the later stage of Qi Refining, let alone Foundation Building, in this lifetime.

"Hongye Valley will be destroyed, and the Lu, Bai, Yu, and Zheng families will establish it as a market."

"After the market is established, everything will flourish. It will be a good place."

Lu Changsheng said.

According to his understanding, the Hongye Market would be completed within the next year or two.

After it was completed, in order to attract wandering cultivators and businesses, the four major families would also provide many favorable policies.

This stage was also quite good for wandering cultivators.

If Li Feiyu went to the Hongye Market, he could also take care of him.

After all, in his opinion, it was too dangerous for Li Feiyu, an ordinary wandering cultivator, to go exploring caves and secret realms.

It was a complete death sentence.

But he also knew that for Li Feiyu, an ordinary wandering cultivator, there was only one way to cultivate immortality.

"Alright, I'll consider it then."

Li Feiyu nodded in response.

"Hongye Valley is going to establish a market?"

Hong Yi was also surprised when he heard this, seeing the business opportunity.

"That's right, if Hong Brother is interested, you can go take a look then."

"If you want to buy a shop, I can also help you with that."

Lu Changsheng said to Hong Yi.

Now that his wives and children were settled in the secular world and taken care of by the Ru Yi Marquis's mansion, he naturally wanted to return the favor.

After the Hongye Market was established, the four major families would release some shops and residences for sale at a cheap price.

If Hong Yi wanted, he could ask the Lu family for a quota.

"Thank you, Lu Brother. I'll discuss this matter with my father when I go back."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi's face immediately lit up.

He also knew that these shops and residences in the newly established market were not something that could be bought just by wanting to buy them.

Qualifications were needed.

He didn't expect Lu Changsheng to offer to help him with this.

This also made him marvel at Lu Changsheng's current status and position in the Lu family.

He didn't expect that in just ten years, the peasant boy who he didn't even bother to look at would grow step by step to this point.

He also felt fortunate that he had quickly changed his mindset back then and established a good relationship with Lu Changsheng.

"Lu Brother, the mastermind behind the murder of my sister-in-law's family that you asked me to investigate is now being held in the dungeon of the Marquis's mansion."

Hong Yi spoke up.

"Alright, I'll trouble Hong Brother with this matter."

Lu Changsheng glanced at the carriage where Qu Zhenzhen was and nodded.

Through Hong Yi's previous letter, he already knew the specifics of this matter.

As he had guessed, this cultivator was a devouring cultivator.

Because he cultivated a method of devouring, he became a worshipper in a small family.

He relied on devouring female cultivators' cultivation and had people in the secular world search for women with spiritual roots.

That was why the incident with Qu Zhenzhen happened.

He brought Qu Zhenzhen over this time to handle this matter.

"Alright, Brother Lu, when you come, just send me a message."

"My father has always wanted to meet you."

Hong Yi nodded and said so.

Immediately, the three continued to chat, discussing recent events and matters in the cultivation world.

"By the way, Brother Lu, do you have any contact with Xiao Dao You, Zhao Dao You, and Han Dao You?"

At this time, Hong Yi asked.

"I have exchanged a few letters with Han Lin, but I have no contact with Xiao Dao You and Zhao Dao You."

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

After the three-year agreement, although they made another ten-year agreement.

But this ten years was ultimately too long.

The friendship they had back then might not be able to be maintained.

And Lu Changsheng was not the kind of person who liked to socialize with others.

So over the years, he had only exchanged a few letters with Han Lin.

He knew that the other party had become a refiner.

And he learned that Xiao Xiyue had been taken as a disciple by a Foundation Building cultivator.

Then Lu Changsheng wrote a letter to congratulate and the other party replied briefly, and that was it.

"I often exchange letters with the three of them."

Hong Yi spoke up.

His personality was different from Lu Changsheng's.

After returning to the mortal world, he had been socializing with people.

He had been trying his best to maintain these connections.

Then he talked about the recent situation of the three.

Xiao Xiyue had already broken through the late Qi Refining stage and was expected to reach Foundation Building in the future.

Zhao Qingqing had a sixth-grade spiritual root and became a pharmacist.

But not long ago, he corresponded with Han Lin and learned that Zhao Qingqing had awakened a latent spiritual body, the Wood and Grass Body.

This spiritual body did not have any benefits for cultivation, but it was good at cultivating spiritual herbs and conducting healing.

So Zhao Qingqing caught the attention of the elder in charge of the medicine garden and was taken as a disciple.

"Han Dao You has become a refiner, and now Brother Lu is also a high-grade talisman master. It's only me and Brother Li who are still wasting away in the mortal world."

Hong Yi sighed.

Back then, among the six of them, he had the most privileged background.

Although he was doing fine now, compared to Lu Changsheng and the others, the gap was evident.

He was only slightly better than Li Feiyu.

"Ah."

Li Feiyu, who was beside him, sighed softly without saying a word.

When they made the three-year agreement, he was the one who fared the worst among the six.

And now, after more than seven years, he was still the worst.

And the gap between him and the others was growing wider.

That was why he wanted to go to the cultivation world and try his luck.

"Feiyu."

Lu Changsheng saw his good friend like this and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm fine, I'm just feeling a bit emotional seeing you all like this."

Li Feiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Now there are only two and a half years left until the ten-year agreement we made."

"In a few days, I will write a letter to ask Xiao Dao You and the others, to see if we can get together."

Hong Yi continued.

"I'm fine with that."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He wanted to maintain this friendship as long as possible.

But he didn't force it, choosing to let things take their natural course.

After all, with the system by his side, he didn't need Hong Yi that much.

Li Feiyu also nodded slightly.

Although he didn't have the idea of relying on others for help.

But he also knew that maintaining this network of relationships was beneficial to himself.

Just like now, he had a good relationship with Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi, which provided him with many conveniences in terms of cultivation resources and information.

In the midst of their conversation, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Lanshu, Lu Zier, Lu Qing'er, Xia Zhuyue, and others were standing at the entrance of the mansion with a group of children.

Obviously, they knew that Lu Changsheng was coming and were waiting at the door.

"Brother Lu, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb your reunion."

Seeing this, Hong Yi got up and took his leave.

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

Lu Changsheng nodded and then looked at his wives and children.

"Husband, Father, Zhenzhen, Aunt Qu!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng, his wives and children immediately showed the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Lu Wuyou and Lu Xile rushed over and hugged Lu Changsheng.

"Hahaha, did you miss Daddy?"

Lu Changsheng saw the situation and hugged his child, rubbing his head with a smile on his face.

"Are you thinking about it?"

More than a year has passed, and the children have grown taller.

From their body movements, it can be seen that they have a certain foundation in martial arts.

This kind of small improvement in martial arts also has a bonus for Lu Changsheng.

However, this bonus is too small.

For Lu Changsheng, who is practicing the Hundred Refining Body Technique, it is almost negligible.

"Lanshu, you have worked hard during these days."

Lu Changsheng looked at his wives.

"Husband, it's not hard."

The wives shook their heads, their eyes full of tenderness.

"Let's go, let's go in first."

Lu Changsheng didn't chat at the gate.

He patted his eldest son, Lu Ping'an, who had grown to his chest, and entered the mansion with his wives and children.

Now the Lu Mansion has undergone some changes compared to a year and a half ago.

There are many more guards, martial artists, servants, and maids in the mansion.

After instructing Lan Lanshu, all these people respectfully greeted Lu Changsheng, calling him "Master" or "Head of the Family".

"Hehe."

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh.

He hadn't adapted to this title for a while.

But in the secular world, it is normal to be called "Master" after starting a family and establishing a career.

Moreover, at the age of twenty-eight, he is indeed not young anymore.

After settling the children, Lu Changsheng accompanied his wives and children to have a lively reunion dinner.

That night.

"Lanshu, Zier, Qing'er, do you want to go back to Qingzhu Mountain?"

Lu Changsheng hugged his wives and asked.

When he sent his wives to the secular world, it was to take care of the children and prepare for their escape.

Now that the situation in the Lu family has stabilized, if the three wives want to return to Qingzhu Mountain, he can also bring them back to live there.

"Husband, we are fine here, accompanying the children."

The three wives shook their heads.

It's not that they don't want to go back to Qingzhu Mountain.

But they also understand that Lu Changsheng is busy with his affairs now, and it's better to stay here than to go back.

And they also know that Lu Changsheng will not bring the children back, and he is reluctant to part with them.

"Okay, as long as I have time, I will come back often."

Lu Changsheng said warmly.

He still has a lot of feelings for his original three wives.

After saying that, he used his actions to express his affection.

The next day.

"Zhenzhen, why don't you stay at home, I can go alone."

Lu Changsheng looked at Qu Zhenzhen and said.

Although this trip was to bring Qu Zhenzhen to seek revenge.

But Qu Zhenzhen is usually afraid to even kill a chicken, let alone take revenge herself.

And he can also see that over the years, Qu Zhenzhen has been forgetting and abandoning the hatred in her heart.

If she meets her enemy, it might bring back painful memories.

"Husband."

Qu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Changsheng, pursed her lips, her eyes determined, obviously she wants to go.

"Then let's go."

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng also held her hand and didn't say much.

He brought Qu Zhenzhen to the Ruyi Mansion.

The steward at the door immediately went to report when he learned that Lu Changsheng had come.

Not only did Hong Yi come to greet him, but the Marquis Ruyi also personally came to welcome him.

The Marquis Ruyi looks to be in his fifties.

But Lu Changsheng learned from Hong Yi that the Marquis Ruyi is already in his seventies and has more than forty children.

"Seventh level of Qi Refinement."

Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance the cultivation level of the Marquis Ruyi.

This level of strength is already considered a master in the secular world.

"Gathering Spirit Array, small-scale spiritual land?"

After entering the courtyard of the mansion, Lu Changsheng immediately sensed that there was a spiritual vein under this mansion.

Similar to the Niu Tou Mountain back then, it is a low-level spiritual vein.

But in the secular world, it is already very good to have such a low-level spiritual vein.

After a brief conversation with the Marquis Ruyi, Lu Changsheng followed Hong Yi to a palace.

"Young Master Yi."

At the entrance of the palace, two Innate experts were guarding, and they bowed to Hong Yi.

"Open the door."

Hong Yi spoke directly.

Entering the underground palace and passing through the tunnel, it can be seen that this is a dungeon.

There is a damp and musty smell in the air, imprisoning many people.

"If there are any martial arts experts or cultivators causing trouble in Ruyi County, they will be dealt with by the Ruyi Marquis Mansion and imprisoned here."

"Gongsun Hong is imprisoned deep inside."

Hong Yi explained to Lu Changsheng.

Gongsun Hong is the behind-the-scenes cultivator who killed Qu Zhenzhen's entire family.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, holding Qu Zhenzhen's hand, and followed Hong Yi towards the depths of the dungeon.

Many of the cells on both sides were empty, while others imprisoned prisoners.

They were bound with a cross, iron chains pierced through their bones, tendons in their hands and feet were severed, and their limbs and wrists and ankles were still shackled with handcuffs and chains.

Those who could be imprisoned here were generally powerful.

They were either martial arts experts or at least Innate masters.

Upon hearing footsteps, many prisoners opened their eyes.

When they saw Hong Yi, it was as if they saw their father's enemy. Their eyes turned bloodshot, they struggled with clenched teeth, and roared in anger.

Seeing this scene, Qu Zhenzhen felt fear and tightly clung to Lu Changsheng's arm.

Although she was a third-level Qi Refining cultivator, her gentle nature had not changed much.

"It's okay."

Lu Changsheng held his delicate wife's hand and comforted her gently.

Not to mention Qu Zhenzhen, even he felt somewhat uncomfortable with this scene.

After all, the most gruesome scene he had witnessed was the massacre in Hongye Valley.

But it was not as disgusting as what he was seeing now.

"Brother Lu, Sister-in-law, this person is Gongsun Hong."

Hong Yi stopped and pointed to a cell in front of them, speaking.

Inside, there was an old man in his sixties with gray hair and a pale face, his lips turning purple.

He was bound with a cross, iron chains pierced through his bones, tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and his limbs and wrists and ankles were shackled with handcuffs and chains. He was barely alive.

"Gongsun Hong."

Qu Zhenzhen knew that this person was the mastermind behind the killing of her entire family.

A surge of hatred and anger welled up in her heart.

But at the same time, she remembered that her parents had died because of her, and a sense of sadness emerged.

"Zhenzhen, let me do it."

Lu Changsheng sighed softly when he saw his wife's appearance.

He understood Qu Zhenzhen's character.

He had long expected that even in the face of the murderer, Qu Zhenzhen would only feel sadness and confusion, unable to muster the anger, hatred, and satisfaction of seeking revenge.

It was a matter of character.

In addition, over the years, the hatred had been suppressed.

Qu Zhenzhen nodded with slightly reddened eyes.

She felt uncomfortable as soon as she entered the dungeon.

She even felt nauseous.

At this moment, she really didn't know how to kill someone to vent her anger.

"Swish!"

Lu Changsheng snapped his fingers.

A burst of white sword light burst out, directly ending Gongsun Hong's life, beheading him.

When he saved Qu Zhenzhen back then, he was still worried that this behind-the-scenes cultivator would come after them.

But now, more than seven years had passed, killing the opponent was as easy as killing a chicken.

"Wuwuwu, husband."

Qu Zhenzhen saw Gongsun Hong die, trembling all over, tears streaming from her eyes, and she tightly clung to Lu Changsheng.

Although she felt some satisfaction in avenging herself, she felt more emptiness and sadness.

She knew that her parents and family would never come back.

"Ah."

Lu Changsheng held his wife, gently stroking her hair, comforting Qu Zhenzhen.

If it weren't for giving his wife a result, and the other party insisted on coming, he wouldn't have wanted to bring Qu Zhenzhen to such a place.

After avenging the revenge, Lu Changsheng didn't stay long.

He took Gongsun Hong's head and bid farewell to Hong Yi before leaving.

With Qu Zhenzhen, they rode on the Iron Feather Eagle and headed to Dongyang County, Zhoushan Mansion.

One day later.

The two arrived at Zhoushan Mansion.

"Father, Mother, wuwuwu——"

Seeing the desolate and dilapidated courtyard in front of her, overgrown with weeds, Qu Zhenzhen couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng sighed softly.

He comforted his delicate wife and erected a tombstone for his deceased father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Then he had people repair the desolate and dilapidated mansion and had someone guard it for a long time.

When Qu Zhenzhen came to pay her respects in the future, she wouldn't feel so sad and uncomfortable.

At the same time, he also thought that when his elder brother-in-law, who had turned to the demonic path, returned and saw that his sister was still alive, he could entrust her to a good husband.
