But to say it was excessive, that wasn’t quite the case.
After all, it was his private life, and it wasn’t right for him to interfere too much.
Thinking of this, he decided that after returning home, he would speak to the Fourth Elder, asking him to offer some persuasion.
Otherwise, from his perspective, Lu Changsheng’s utter lack of restraint in his behavior would truly lead to his ruin.
If that happened, it would be a great loss to the Lu Family as well.
“No venture, no gain!”
Lu Changsheng really wanted to say this, but he still responded seriously and respectfully, “What Second Elder said is correct; Changsheng will heed the advice.”
The other party was an elder after all, and since the matter was mentioned, he behaved and listened obediently.
As for what to do in the end, it was still up to him.
However, Lu Changsheng himself also planned to be a bit more frugal for a while, to save some money.
He had previously wanted to buy vestment robes and beautifying spirit pills for his wives and children.
But with his habit of spending as soon as he got money, the expenditures increased, and he couldn’t save anything.
This time returning home, he didn’t have enough money to buy any decently valuable gifts.
“Hmm.”
Seeing this, the Second Elder didn’t continue to say much.
Too much talk of such matters could only lead to annoyance.
Then, Lu Changsheng left a message for Xiao Qing and went with the Second Elder and Lu Miaoge to the Eastern District to the Lu Family’s large courtyard where they would stay.
They were preparing to return to Qingzhu Mountain early the next morning.
They arrived at the Eastern District’s large courtyard, and the living quarters arranged for them were still the same from the last time.
“Knock knock knock!”
Lu Changsheng was meditating in his room when he heard a knocking at the door.
He got up and opened the door.
“Miaocheng?”
Outside stood Lu Miaocheng.
“Changsheng, this is the spirit stone I borrowed from you.”
As soon as Lu Miaocheng saw Lu Changsheng, he directly took out twenty spirit stones and spoke.
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected Lu Miaocheng to come and repay the debt voluntarily.
To tell the truth, he had written off those twenty spirit stones as a loss.
The other party’s behavior was truly unexpected.
“Miaocheng, you are too polite, it was unnecessary to make a special trip.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and accepted the spirit stones.
He could see that Lu Miaocheng now looked much better, spirit-wise.
Probably because he hadn’t been going to read books and savor tea for a while.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to save up any spirit stones.
“What trouble? I’ve owed them to you for so long.”
Lu Miaocheng clapped Lu Changsheng’s shoulder and enthusiastically said, “Changsheng, next month Spring Abundance Building is getting a new batch of tea, I’ll treat you, let’s go together.”
Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched slightly.
He thought Miaocheng had given it up, but it seemed he was mistaken.
He waved his hand, declaring earnestly, “Miaocheng, I never go to such places.”
“Changsheng, let me tell you, this new tea, many of them are unopened…”
Lu Miaocheng continued speaking.
“No, no, I’d better not go.”
Lu Changsheng asserted firmly.
With so many wives and maids at home, what need was there to go to these places?
It was simply a waste of money and vitality!
With that money, couldn’t he buy a couple of maids, buy some gifts for his wife and children, wouldn’t that be delightful?
“Okay then.”
Seeing this, Lu Miaocheng found it dull and didn’t persuade further.
Lu Changsheng watched Lu Miaocheng’s retreating figure, musing whether Miaocheng enjoyed himself to the fullest, then cultivated for health for a while before going back to his merry ways—a repeating cycle?
Otherwise, why had he looked so drained before, and now perfectly normal despite not abstaining?
Early the next morning, the Second Elder led Lu Changsheng and several other Lu Family members out of the Nine Dragons Market through the eastern gate.
He then took out a palm-sized yellowish-brown flying boat.
Activated by mana, the flying boat immediately flew from his palm, transforming into a vessel about ten feet long, with formation patterns drawn both inside and out.
“Get on.”
The Second Elder commanded.
Lu Changsheng stepped onto the flying boat and found a seat to sit down.
The flying boat had a total of seven seats, and beneath the seats, sockets embedded with spirit stones could be seen.
He knew this type of flying boat could be propelled by inserting spirit stones, replacing the need for cultivators to use mana to drive it.
Otherwise, solely relying on a cultivator’s mana to propel it, it would be impossible to achieve long-distance flying; the consumption would be too great.
“Let’s go!”
After several people were seated, the Second Elder also boarded the flying boat, formed a spell with his hands, and caused a thin layer of water screen barrier to rise around the edge of the flying boat. Soaring into the air, it transformed into a streak of light shooting forward.
“At this speed, it’s even faster than the Iron Feather Eagle by a bit. If we squeeze in a bit, we can fit about ten people,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself as he watched the flying boat’s speed.
He found the device quite good.
If he had one of his own, it would be much more convenient to travel to and from the Nine Dragons Market with his wives and concubines in the future.
However, the price of such a flying boat would be at least a thousand spirit stones.
And a flying boat is relatively more conspicuous; without a bit of strength, it is easy to attract unwanted attention on the way.
One and a half days later.
The flying boat landed in front of Qingzhu Mountain.
As everyone disembarked, Lu Changsheng cupped his hands in farewell and headed straight for his home.
“Husband~”
“The husband is back!”
“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”
Just as Lu Changsheng walked into the courtyard, his wives and concubines and several children inside saw him and called out joyfully, crowding around him and hugging him.
This scene brought a smile to Lu Changsheng’s face, filled with warmth, as he picked up the two children who ran over.
However, facing so many children, he could only put them down immediately, taking turns hugging each child.
He also embraced his several wives.
Although he had many maidservants in the Nine Dragons Market,
he missed the warm feeling of being with his wives and children here.
He had been with his wives and children here for so many years, and they had developed a lot of affection for each other.
Before long, Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen among other women also came with their children, their eyes filled with tender love as they approached Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng noticed that the little ones in their arms seemed to have grown a bit, very adorable.
He then looked at the children of Shui’er and Jiu’er.
Both children had hair like their mothers.
One red, one blue.
But their pupils were black.
Seeing his two somewhat unconventional children, Lu Changsheng also found them quite cute.
Then, Lu Changsheng spent time playing with the children and chatting with his wives, listening to some of their stories and sharing his own.
Meanwhile.
Within Qingzhu Valley, at another estate.
“Second brother, are you telling me that since Changsheng moved out to live on his own in the Nine Dragons Market, he has been indulging in the pleasures of women day in and day out, not only taking in a bunch of concubines but also getting each and every one of them pregnant? With more than a dozen children?” the Fourth Elder asked in surprise after hearing the Second Elder’s words, finding it hard to believe.
She was different from the Second Elder.
Having interacted with Lu Changsheng for so long, she knew he liked having children, but she didn’t imagine him to be addicted to the pleasures of the flesh.
Usually, he was very diligent and serious in his cultivation and talisman making.
But now, hearing the Second Elder’s words, she didn’t know what to say.
Because, in her view, this behavior was indeed a bit over the top.
Originally, when the Lu family took a son-in-law by marriage, they only asked for fifty children in twenty years.
Yet, in just over half a year, Lu Changsheng had impregnated eleven.
If he continued at this rate, would he still cultivate or practice talisman making?
“Do I look like someone who likes to joke around?” the Second Elder saw the Fourth Elder’s disbelief and immediately said, “Miaoge was there at the time, she also saw everything, you can ask Miaoge if you don’t believe me.”
“I wouldn’t say much about this matter, but as an elder who is usually close, you can talk to Lu Changsheng at some point, and also let Miaoyun keep an eye on him”
“Otherwise, if this continues, I’m really afraid he will squander his talent on women.”
The Second Elder sighed,
What he minded was not Lu Changsheng taking concubines.
After all, it was quite normal for a man to be fond of women.
However, in his view, Lu Changsheng’s behavior was indeed a bit excessive,
Women can be as ferocious as wolves and tigers, they can undermine a man’s will!
And Lu Changsheng, being so young with an unstable will, was very likely to lose control of himself in this regard.
If this kept up, a remarkable talent in the Talisman Path could very well fall from grace.
“Alright, I’ll go check it out tomorrow, ask Changsheng what’s going on, what the deal is,” the Fourth Elder said with a serious expression, nodding her head.
She had a favorable impression of her grandson-in-law Lu Changsheng.
She still did not believe that Lu Changsheng would completely drown in the pleasures of flesh and neglect his cultivation and talisman making.
She planned to go see for herself the next day and find out what was happening,
and to also check Lu Changsheng’s skills in talisman making, then she would know the truth.
