Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family - Chapter 216:
Chapter 216: Chapter 115: Danger! I must prepare for the worst!_2
“Alright, I’ll come down now.”
Lu Changsheng nodded when he heard this.
This Fairy Su, named Su Hongyu, was a major customer of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
She had purchased quite a few talismans from the shop over the past few months.
So under such circumstances, it was necessary for him, the owner, to attend to her personally.
When he arrived at the reception hall on the first floor, he immediately saw a woman who appeared to be in her late twenties, with a beautiful face and dressed in a simple yet elegant purple palace dress.
“I’ve seen Fairy Su before.”
Lu Changsheng greeted her with a smile, as warm as the spring breeze.
“Talisman Master Lu is here. I’ve come this time to place a pre-order for a batch of talismans…”
Su Hongyu spoke with a smile upon seeing Lu Changsheng, her voice warm and alluring.
She then handed over a talisman procurement list.
Clad in her simple and graceful palace dress, she looked elegant and decent, yet her every move radiated a seductive charm.
“No problem, it will take around half a month for the shop to prepare these talismans,” Lu Changsheng said after glancing at the list.
“That’s fine.”
Su Hongyu, upon hearing his response, was quite straightforward and then signed the contract and paid the deposit.
After everything was settled, Fairy Su turned to Lu Changsheng, smiled gracefully, and said, “Talisman Master Lu, I’ve come across an ancient cave dwelling left by a predecessor outside and am currently looking for a few fellow cultivators to explore it together. Would you be interested?”
“Fairy Su’s invitation honors me greatly, but I am not skilled in combat, so I will have to decline.”
Lu Changsheng courteously declined as soon as he heard her invitation.
“To be honest, this cave dwelling has certain prohibitions that are difficult to break at the moment, which is why I need to find companions for the exploration,” Su Hongyu explained.
“But if the cultivator’s cultivation level is too high, I worry they might covet the treasures for themselves.”
“Talisman Master Lu is not of high cultivation, and being a Lu Family disciple and the owner of the Spiritual Talisman Shop, you are obviously trustworthy, which is why I sincerely invited you.”
Su Hongyu twisted her slender waist slightly and crossed her legs in a somewhat seductive manner as she spoke.
“My abilities are limited, I will not take part, but thank you for the kind offer, Fairy Su.”
Lu Changsheng continued to refuse.
And at that moment, a sense of wariness rose in his heart.
Although he had conducted business with her several times, they hadn’t had much contact.
The sudden invitation to explore a cave dwelling made him suspicious.
Furthermore, as a man who had been through numerous battles and read countless books, Lu Changsheng could tell that the Su Hongyu before him seemed adept in bewitching techniques, aiming to seduce him with her demeanour and actions.
Combining this with the recent situation of the Lu Family, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but overthink.
However, he didn’t care about such matters.
Even if it was a trap, as long as he didn’t take the bait, there would be no harm.
Besides, Lu Changsheng was truly uninterested in these kinds of adventures seeking ancient relics and cave dwellings.
With all that idle time, he would rather go home and have a couple more kids.
Not only would the system accompany the Child Money, but the kids could also enhance his Spiritual Root and strength.
“Since Talisman Master Lu is not interested, then I will have to look elsewhere,” Su Hongyu said with a tinge of disappointment, but without insisting and still smiling.
Half a month later.
Zhang Shan told Lu Changsheng that Fairy Su had come again.
“Talisman Master Lu.”
Su Hongyu greeted Lu Changsheng with a smile.
This time she was wearing a luxurious golden magical robe.
The robe shimmered with Spiritual Light and was adorned with vivid and lifelike embroidery of a mythic bird.
Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance that it was at least a high-quality magical robe, if not a Supreme one.
Regarding her behavior, however, Lu Changsheng just felt she was not right in the head.
Wearing such a conspicuous garment could attract unwanted attention like a lamb ripe for the slaughter.
“Fairy Su, the talismans you ordered before have been prepared. Please take a look,” Lu Changsheng said without any further glances, taking out a pile of talismans from his Storage Bag.
“I naturally trust Talisman Master Lu,” Su Hongyu took the talismans, glanced at them, and smiled.
After paying the remaining amount of Spirit Stones, Su Hongyu continued, “I was wondering if you have any First Grade Prohibition-Breaking Talismans here?”
“Prohibition-Breaking Talismans?”
“The Prohibition-Breaking Talisman is a First Grade Supreme Talisman, very difficult to create.”
“I’m not sure how many you need, Fairy Su, but if it’s only one or two, I can request one of the Family Elders to draw them,” Lu Changsheng replied.
Prohibition-Breaking Talismans belonged to the category of First Grade Supreme Talismans, their difficulty akin to Second Rank Talismans.
Even for the Fourth Elder, the success rate of crafting them was not high.
Yet, for Lu Changsheng, it wasn’t really a problem.
However, as a business transaction, he couldn’t offer more than that.
“The more the better,” Su Hongyu said.
She continued with a charming smile, “Talisman Master Lu, I need the Prohibition-Breaking Talismans for the final stage of my previous cave dwelling exploration.”
“It’s a shame Talisman Master Lu did not come along last time; not only was it safe, but I also made quite a profit, allowing me to afford this new magical robe,” Su Hongyu said, beaming.
“Congratulations then, Fairy Su!” Lu Changsheng said, his heart remaining undisturbed as he congratulated her with a smile.
He immediately added, “As for the Prohibition-Breaking Talisman, our shop can only provide one or two, anything more is truly beyond our ability.”
Since Prohibition-Breaking Talismans had a low success rate, even the Fourth Elder couldn’t make much profit from them.
They were essentially crafted for the sake of the shop’s reputation and were sold only in small quantities.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng was still not tempted, Su Hongyu paid a deposit, chatted briefly, and then left.
“There’s definitely something wrong; it’s absolutely a trap!”
After Su Hongyu had left, Lu Changsheng went back to the third floor, feeling increasingly certain that Su Hongyu was up to something.
She was luring him away from the Marketplace.
“This Su Hongyu, her backers might even be the same people who tried to assassinate Sister Miaoge,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
But it’s a pity that I have limited strength.
Otherwise, I could follow her bait, turn the tables, and investigate the truth,” he mused.
