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

Chapter 25: Reunion with Friends!

Due to Lu Changsheng's breakthrough to the third level of Qi Refinement, they were delayed in their departure.

So, the two of them were worried about delaying their three-year appointment, so they rushed day and night throughout the journey.

It only took them nineteen days to travel from Qingzhu Mountain to Ruyi County.

The journey went smoothly, except for encountering a few fierce birds and beasts, they didn't encounter any danger.

When they arrived at Ruyi County, it was already dark.

"So, this is Ruyi County."

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised when he saw the appearance of Ruyi County in front of him.

Ruyi County was much more prosperous and magnificent than he had imagined.

The entire city was majestic and tall, like a giant beast crawling.

The lights in the city were as bright as daylight, and the residential houses, buildings, and shops were densely packed and bustling.

People flowed back and forth on the streets, interweaving like shuttles, and it was very lively. From a distance, they could even see several magnificent buildings towering into the clouds.

"It seems that the secular world in this world is more prosperous than I imagined."

Lu Changsheng sighed as he looked at the bustling city in front of him.

Before awakening his memories, he was just the son of an ordinary farmer, and the farthest place he had been to was Qinghe County.

Not to mention Ruyi County, he hadn't even been to Nanyu Prefecture above Qinghe County.

This also made him unfamiliar with these big cities in the secular world.

As a result, when he saw Ruyi County now, he felt a bit like a rural person arriving in Shanghai.

After the two of them entered the city and asked for directions, they came to Ruyi Tower.

Ruyi Tower, as expected, was the largest restaurant in Ruyi County, standing over ten zhang tall.

A jade ruyi was hanging in front of the building, with the three characters "Ruyi Tower" engraved on it, looking very magnificent.

Strings of large red lanterns hung from the eaves, and luminous landscape paintings of beautiful women were painted on the walls.

Li Feiyu stepped forward and asked for Hong Yi.

The gatekeeper had already been instructed and immediately went in to report upon hearing this.

Not long after, Hong Yi, dressed in luxurious clothing and tall in stature, came out of Ruyi Tower.

"Brother Li, Brother Lu!"

Hong Yi saw the two of them and greeted them warmly.

But when he saw Lu Changsheng, he couldn't help but take a few more glances, as if he couldn't confirm it.

Now, Lu Changsheng has changed a lot in appearance and temperament compared to three years ago.

"Hong Yi, is it that you can't recognize me if Brother Li is not here?"

Lu Changsheng also joked when he saw the other party like this.

"If it weren't for Brother Li here, I really wouldn't dare to confirm the changes in Brother Lu."

Hong Yi shook his head and said with a smile on his face.

He was much more enthusiastic and generous than three years ago.

"Every time I meet him after a period of time, I feel that there are too many changes, let alone you guys who have been apart for so long."

Li Feiyu spoke up.

He would meet Lu Changsheng every few months to catch up.

But at that time, he didn't feel much, but when he turned around, he always felt that Lu Changsheng had some indescribable changes.

"Indeed, Brother Lu, what's going on? You've changed so much, but Brother Li hasn't changed much."

Hong Yi nodded and continued, "This is not a place to chat. I have already booked rooms and private rooms in Ruyi Tower. Brother Li, Brother Lu, you've been traveling all the way, let me go upstairs to welcome you and clean up."

"Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin haven't arrived yet, but they should be here in the next two days."

As he spoke, Hong Yi led the two of them into Ruyi Tower.

Inside, it was magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, and a revolving staircase in the middle.

The three of them walked up the stairs and arrived at an elegant private room on the ninth floor, where they could directly enjoy the night view outside through the window.

"Brother Li, Brother Lu, it's been three years since we last met. How have you been at the Lu family in Qingzhu Mountain?"

After they were seated, Hong Yi poured tea for the two of them with enthusiasm and spoke up.

"Okay, I guess."

Li Feiyu replied simply.

He felt that his situation was not worth mentioning.

"I'm doing fine too."

Lu Changsheng also replied concisely.

"If Brother Li says so, I naturally believe it, but I don't believe it when Brother Lu says that."

"In these past few years, I, Hong Yi, have often interacted with people and consider myself to have some discernment. Regarding the clothing on Brother Lu's body, if I'm not mistaken, it is a robe, right?"

"Furthermore, if it weren't for my acquaintance with Brother Lu, based on your appearance and temperament, I would have thought you were a noble son from a cultivation clan."

"So, Brother Lu, you're not telling the truth and not treating me as a friend."

Hong Yi smiled and made an exaggerated gesture of being somewhat upset.

Although the three of them didn't have a deep relationship before, under Hong Yi's words, they seemed much closer.

"I'm not hiding anything from Brother Hong."

"To tell the truth, when I was at the Lu family, I discovered some talent in talisman-making, and now I have become a talismanist, so my living conditions are quite good."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said so.

He wasn't trying to show off, but there was no need to hide this matter.

His purpose for this meeting was somewhat intentional.

He wanted to make friends with Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin, the three disciples of the Immortal Sect, and maintain this relationship.

But in order to maintain this relationship, he naturally needed to have some capital himself.

Otherwise, as a son-in-law of a cultivation clan, why would he have the right to make friends with disciples of the Immortal Sect?

Currently, being a first-tier talismanist was the capital he had on the surface.

"Wow, I didn't expect Brother Lu to have such talent!"

"In just three years, he has become a talismanist. I'll toast Brother Lu with tea instead of wine!"

Hong Yi was shocked to hear this and took a deep breath, feeling a bit enthusiastic. He picked up the tea and said.

"Brother Hong, you're too kind. I'm just an entry-level talismanist, not as carefree as you, Brother Hong."

Lu Changsheng also picked up the tea and returned the gesture.

This Lord of Ruyi County City was Ruyi Marquis, which was Hong Yi's father.

In the secular world, his status was indeed extraordinary.

But seeing how he was now being so warm and polite, compared to three years ago when everything was turned upside down, it seemed that he had experienced quite a bit in these three years.

"I'm just a commoner, this status is not worth mentioning, not comparable to Brother Lu."

"Moreover, Brother Lu being able to become an entry-level talismanist in such a short time shows exceptional talent. You are a dragon and phoenix among men, and it's very likely that you will become a second-tier talismanist in the future."

Hong Yi shook his head with emotion and then sincerely said.

"Brother Hong, you flatter me."

Hong Yi's words did make Lu Changsheng feel somewhat comfortable.

In his memory, three years ago, Hong Yi had a sense of arrogance about him.

Although it wasn't to the extent of mocking or doing anything to him and Han Lin.

But in his words and actions, there was a sense of superiority that looked down on them.

So this change in attitude before and after, the contrast, made him feel a sense of satisfaction involuntarily.

Of course, he wouldn't hold onto his own identity just because of someone else's attitude and chat with Hong Yi.

Under Hong Yi's warm reception, the three of them gradually became familiar and started chatting.

It felt like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.

In this way, under Hong Yi's generous hospitality, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu stayed at Ruyi Tower for three days.

Three days later, Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin arrived at Ruyi.

Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu received the news and went downstairs to greet them with Hong Yi.

As soon as they went downstairs, they immediately saw Xiao Xiyue and the others.

"Brother Li, Young Marquis, are you Lu Changsheng?"

Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a snow-white long dress, with a stunningly beautiful oval face, smiled and greeted Lu Changsheng and the others.

She had a sincere and straightforward demeanor, and her smile was as bright as a spring breeze, infecting everyone.

Zhao Qingqing, who was beside her, just nodded slightly.

Her hair was lightly tied up, wearing a green long dress, her appearance couldn't be described as stunning, only elegant and beautiful.

Especially when standing next to the stunningly beautiful Xiao Xiyue, she appeared even more dim, becoming a foil.

However, her fair skin and excellent figure, with long legs and a slim waist, were extremely eye-catching.

"Brother Changsheng, Brother Li, Young Marquis."

Han Lin also greeted everyone.

Compared to the two women, he appeared more ordinary, without any presence.

Wearing a gray-brown robe, slightly dark skin, an average appearance, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin.
