Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

But when he returned to visit his mother before, he once saw her sitting alone in the small courtyard, muttering to herself with a desolate expression.

“Go ahead, follow your heart. No matter the outcome, just don’t let yourself regret it.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much.

A dutiful son with a sense of responsibility is naturally a good thing.

But he didn’t want these to become shackles, binding his own son.

“Yes, father.”

Lu Ping’an sighed and said no more, walking towards Bi Shui Lake, pondering how to begin.

“Wait.”

Lu Changsheng stopped his son, took out a jug of wine from the storage ring, tossed it to him, and said: “You can take a couple of sips to courage up.”

“Also, this sword is now your personal sword; if you don’t have any other gifts ready, you can give this sword as a token of affection to young Qin.”

Lu Changsheng also took out a sparkling Flying Sword from the storage ring, erased the marks on it, and tossed it to his son.

This was a Flying Sword he prepared in his early years to perform the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, a second rank top-level Flying Sword.

But it had never been used, gathering dust in the storage ring.

Now giving it to his future daughter-in-law didn’t seem wasteful.

“Ah.”

Lu Ping’an looked at the wine and sword in his hands, he was stunned, slightly bewildered.

“Alright, go on.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, indicating for him to proceed. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Yes.”

Lu Ping’an gave a slight bitter smile, then took a deep breath and walked towards Bi Shui Lake.

…

On the boat, Qin Yi, dressed in black with narrow eyes and red lips, saw Lu Ping’an return and said: “Finished? If you have something to do, there’s no need to stay here.”

Lu Ping’an took a deep breath but found the words hard to say.

Then, taking a deep breath again, he took out the jug of wine his father had given him and drank heartily.

Beside Qin Yi, Lu Linghe sniffed the strong aroma of wine and immediately shouted: “Big brother, I want some too!”

“Lu Ping’an, watch how you’re drinking, don’t lead little He astray.”

Qin Yi said in a clear voice at once.

The boldness that Lu Ping’an had fueled with wine was extinguished in an instant, and the words stuck in his throat again.

“Lu Ping’an, if you have something to say, just say it straight, don’t be so indirect like a woman.”

The woman in black saw Lu Ping’an’s hesitant expression and said irritably.

Lu Changsheng, watching this from afar, also shook his head and sighed.

Thinking to himself that the son of this Lu Ancestor being so naive would bring him ridicule.

“Miss Qin.”

Lu Ping’an spoke.

But then shook his head and quickly said: “Qin Yi, I like you.”

“What did you say? Say it louder?”

The woman in black raised an eyebrow, her red lips curving upward.

“Qin Yi! I like you!”

Lu Ping’an’s voice was robust, charged with boldness that seemed to surge to the sky, causing ripples on the calm lake.

“Oh, I see.”

Qin Yi nodded seriously.

“Ah?”

Lu Ping’an was stunned, somewhat bewildered.

He didn’t expect Qin Yi to reply this way and was momentarily at a loss for what to say next.

“Glug glug.”

At this moment, Lu Linghe in a red dress took a sip from her brother’s wine jug, her cheeks immediately flushing, and said: “Big brother, this doesn’t have sister’s sweetness…”

But just as she spoke, an invisible Great Hand of Magical Power reached over, picking her up with a cry of surprise.

“Hmm!?”

Seeing this, Qin Yi’s expression immediately turned colder, intending to draw her sword.

But in the next moment, she noticed a handsome youth appearing ahead without her realization.

“Daddy!”

Lu Linghe exclaimed joyfully upon seeing the youth.

“Ah?”

Qin Yi was shocked upon hearing this, unexpectedly realizing it was Lu Ping’an and Lu Linghe’s father, the Lord of Bi Lake Mountain, Lu Family Ancestor.

Wasn’t it said that Lu Family Ancestor encountered an accident in the Tianyuan Secret Realm? How did he appear here in good condition?

Moreover, as a sword cultivator with sharp senses, she hadn’t detected the youth’s arrival, which was surprising.

“Haha, I have something to discuss with little He, you all carry on.”

Lu Changsheng slightly nodded and then took away his youngest daughter, who was ruining the mood.

Otherwise, if it were just his son and this little girl, it would take a lot of effort to create an atmosphere only to have it disrupted by his daughter.

Moreover, he understood that although his son could hardly utter a word, his personality was quite complementary to the girl’s, so he was too lazy to interfere.

“Daddy, I missed you so much.”

Lu Linghe pounced into her father’s arms, looking adorable.

“Daddy missed my little He.”

Lu Changsheng pinched his daughter’s rosy little cheeks, his gaze soft and gentle.

“Daddy…”

Lu Linghe immediately shared interesting and fun stories with Lu Changsheng, even mentioning how Brother Yun tricked her when Sister Qin Yi came over, chattering nonstop.

Lu Changsheng listened to his daughter’s words with a smile on his face.

“Greetings, Mountain Master!”

“Father!”

As the two walked along the road, other Qingyun Sect cultivators and some Lu Family disciples, upon seeing Lu Changsheng, all displayed faces of surprise, astonishment, and delight, then greeted him respectfully.

After all, for the past six months, rumors had been circulating externally that Lu Changsheng had perished in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.

Normally, Lu Linghe didn’t pay attention to such matters, so if no one told her, she wouldn’t know, but the majority of Qingyun Sect cultivators were aware.

If it weren’t for Lu Ping’an and Lu Wangshu visiting Golden Dragon Ridge to establish their might and intimidate all sides, this rumor might have had a significant impact on Qingyun Sect.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng return, everyone was naturally excited and invigorated.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, concernedly asking his children about recent events.

Now that Xiao Xiyue’s Supreme Forgetful Love Technique problem was temporarily solved, he also planned to head to Qingyun Sect.

Therefore, there was no need to conceal his return.

Moreover, if he didn’t show himself, his son Lu Ping’an wouldn’t feel at ease going out.

…

Once Lu Changsheng disappeared, Qin Yi’s tense posture slightly relaxed, and she looked at Lu Ping’an, saying, “I heard earlier that Uncle was in the Secret Realm…”

Even though her personality was always carefree and straightforward, in such a situation, seeing Lu Ping’an’s father still made her somewhat restrained.

After all, it was one thing during normal times.

But just a moment ago, Lu Ping’an had loudly confessed his feelings for her.

“Father should have returned a few days ago, but the news hasn’t spread yet.”

Lu Ping’an said in a low voice.

“Was it Uncle who called you over just now?”

Qin Yi seemed to think of something, raised her eyebrows, and asked aloud.

“Hmm.”

Lu Ping’an nodded.

“I was wondering why you’ve changed your tune.”

Qin Yi pursed her lips, sat down, hugged her knees with both hands, and asked, “What did Uncle say to you?”

“Uh…”

Lu Ping’an felt a bit awkward, but he still revealed the truth.

Qin Yi gazed at Bi Shui Lake, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Ping’an quietly sat beside her, watching Bi Shui Lake with her.

No one knew how long had passed when the girl dressed in black suddenly asked, “Lu Ping’an, what do you like about me?”

Lu Ping’an contemplated for a moment and sincerely replied, “I don’t know either. When I first met you, I saw you as a sister, but after spending time together, I suddenly found you very cute. You smile so beautifully, yet always have an expressionless face, pursing your lips. You clearly don’t understand a lot of things but insist on being stubborn…”

“You’re the one who’s stubborn. Who can compare to you?”

“I remember once you got hurt and insisted on using the prescription yourself. You ended up buying the wrong medicine but still argued stubbornly…”

“You’ve been tricked by the same thing three times!”

“…”

“Miss Qin, do you like me?”

“Guess?”

“Could it be a tiny bit?”

Lu Ping’an raised his arm, leaving a small gap between his thumb and index finger.

“If I don’t like you, would you just go marry someone else and start running the family business?”

The black-clad girl imitated his earlier gesture and words.

“Uh… My parents probably won’t force me.”

“What do you think yourself…”

The two sat on the small boat, speaking back and forth, their expressions and tones gradually becoming more natural, their bodies inching closer.

“Hehe.”

Not far away, Lu Changsheng, holding his daughter’s hand, suddenly shook his head and chuckled lightly.

Many things become much simpler as long as you take the first step.
