Chapter 344: Chapter 155: My Son Ping’an Has the Talent of a Martial Saint!_4 Lu Ping’an immediately said, As the eldest son, under Lu Lanshu’s tutelage, he still had a strong sense of responsibility as a big brother. “Hehe, thank you, Brother Ping’an.” Lu Wuyou immediately clung to Lu Ping’an’s arm, pouted playfully at Lu Changsheng, prompting Lu Changsheng to smile warmly, and then looked towards Lu Wuyu, saying, “You don’t plan on trying your luck in the jianghu as well, do you?” “Second Brother said he wants to be a County Magistrate in the future, to govern a place and bring blessings to the people.” 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 Lu Wuyou immediately spoke up first. “Not bad, that’s a good aspiration. After a few years, speak to your Uncle Hong. Then, you can follow him and learn,” Lu Changsheng said to his second son. He approved of Hong Yi’s character and conduct. He felt his children could learn something from following Hong Yi. In this manner, Lu Changsheng discussed the present, the future, and dreams with his children. He did not forget Bai Ling. Over these few days, he took time to see Bai Ling and foster a relationship with her. And he also brought her to meet his several daughters. So they could keep each other company normally, play together, chat, and it would be easier for her to integrate into the family. After living in Ruyi County City for ten days, Lu Changsheng, amid the reluctant farewells of everyone, returned to Qingzhu Mountain. … Having had no news from Lu Changsheng for over five months, naturally, his wives and concubines worried. If not for Lu Miaoge saying everything was fine and that Lu Changsheng had gone traveling with a good friend, they would have assumed something untoward had happened to him. Seeing Lu Changsheng return now, they all expressed their concern and care. Lu Changsheng had to invent a whole narrative explaining his journey, and only after working hard into the evening did he manage to placate his wives and concubines. After spending several days appeasing his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng also began to focus on his children. Now that his son, Lu Xianzhi, had started cultivating after drawing Qi into his body, naturally, Lu Changsheng was full of encouragement and even awarded him a vestment robe and a lower-quality flying sword magic artifact as a reward. He hoped his son would cultivate diligently to reach the Third Level Energy Refinement soon. This scene made the other siblings envious and many wives, concubines, and maids secretly wished their own children would strive and excel. But the second child with a Spiritual Root, Lu Quanzhen, was only ten years old. He still had more than a year before reaching the age to start cultivation. Lu Changsheng looked forward to his children’s achievements, filled with anticipation. He wondered how many achievements he would get for the number of his children who could draw Qi into their bodies. Or whether there were achievements for when a child reached the Energy Refinement Middle Stage or Energy Refinement Late Stage. Afterward, Lu Changsheng chatted and shared heart-to-heart talks with his children, paying attention to their situations. Thanks to the overall atmosphere of the Lu Family and Lu Miaoyun’s attentive management of the backyard, he thought that the children, regardless of their personalities, had not developed any noticeable distortions and were doing pretty well. If there was any issue, it was that the children of concubines and maids were relatively less close to him, their father. They felt more awe than affection for him. Concerning this, Lu Changsheng understood the situation. Be it his wives or his children, he could not treat everyone equally. Often with his children, it was either about their Spiritual Root or their mother’s status. So even though he was easygoing with his children, the lack of regular contact naturally led to a decrease in closeness. Under the influence of the atmosphere and their mothers’ teachings, an image of dignity had formed in the children’s minds. Even though he knew about this issue, Lu Changsheng had no way to improve it. He now had one hundred and seventeen children. Twenty-eight of them had Spiritual Roots. Even if he only cared for those with Spiritual Roots, he didn’t have the time and energy. All he could do was to pay a bit more attention to the children and try to ensure they didn’t go astray. After finishing the heartfelt discussions with his wives and children, Lu Changsheng also remembered his Golden Armor Bean Mother. He dug a hole in his courtyard, poured in some Second Rank Spiritual Earth, and planted the Golden Armor Bean Mother. He also asked Lu Miaoyun to water and look after it on his behalf regularly. After all, the earlier it was planted, the sooner it would sprout. It couldn’t be grown inside the Spiritual Pet Bag. Lu Miaoyun, although unsure of what kind of seed it was, remembered her husband’s instructions and resolved to care for it well. In the following time, Lu Changsheng was dedicated to child-rearing in Qingzhu Mountain. He planned to keep shuttling between Qingzhu Mountain and the Red Leaf Valley Market once he received news from Xiao Xiyue.
