Lu Changsheng took out a jade box, stored the Hope Gu inside, and then placed it into the Spiritual Pet Bag. Initially, when Lu Ping’an said he wanted to go out for training experiences, he told him to break through to the Innate level first. Now that he had broken through to Innate, he naturally wouldn’t say much more. But with his son leaving home, as a father, there were naturally some things he needed to explain. ... After speaking with Lu Miaoge and Xiao Xiyue, Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feather Eagle back to Qingzhu Mountain. After dealing with some minor matters and staying for half a month on Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Changsheng took Bai Ling with him to Ruyi Prefecture. By now, Bai Ling’s Cultivation Level had reached the Third Level of Qi Refinement. It was estimated that before long, she would break through to the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement. This rate of progress was truly astonishing. Lu Changsheng guessed that his earlier assumption of Bai Ling having a high-grade Spiritual Root was actually an underestimation. Given Bai Ling’s speed of cultivation, she was likely to reach Perfection in Qi Refinement and be ready for Foundation Establishment in her twenties. "Ling’er, aren’t you bored being at Qingzhu Mountain every day?" As the Iron Feather Eagle soared through the sky, Lu Changsheng asked Bai Ling. "Not at all! Everyone here is so nice. Sister Yun, Sister Zhenzhen, Sister Zhiyue... they all treat me so well..." "And Ruyi, Xiaoru, Qing Shan, and Xiao Zhu often play with me too..." Upon hearing this, Bai Ling immediately responded cheerfully. In her eyes, Qingzhu Mountain was nothing short of a paradise on earth. Not only did they not dislike or shun her here, but they also liked her very much, took care of her, and played with her. So, after spending a little over a year on Qingzhu Mountain, Bai Ling’s personality had become much more cheerful. She was no longer the same as before, socially anxious and tense when meeting people, her face timid and afraid. Of course, this cheerfulness was currently limited to being within Lu Changsheng’s estate. In front of the wives, maids, and children of Lu Changsheng. Once she stepped outside the estate, facing other people on Qingzhu Mountain, she became quiet and reticent again. But it was already much better than before. "That’s good. If there’s anything, you can talk directly to your Sister Yun. If it’s not convenient, you can also talk directly to your brother." Seeing Bai Ling’s happy face, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile gently. He rubbed the little girl’s head, which was adorned with two buns. This had become a habit of his. And Bai Ling thoroughly enjoyed being affectionately rubbed on the head by him. Three days later, the two arrived at Ruyi County City. Walking along the bustling streets of Ruyi County City, witnessing the passing crowds, the little girl became instantly nervous, holding tightly to Lu Changsheng’s hand. "Big brother is here." Seeing this, Lu Changsheng gently squeezed her soft little hand and smiled warmly. Looking at Lu Changsheng’s handsome and unsurpassed appearance, his dashing and transcendent aura, and his warm and gentle smile, Bai Ling pursed her lips, feeling much of her tension dissipate. It was only with Lu Changsheng by her side that she dared to walk on such a busy street filled with people coming and going. If she were alone, she wouldn’t have stepped out in a place with so many people. "My lord." "Miss." The two arrived at the Lu Residence. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞 The steward and guards at the entrance of the residence promptly greeted them with a bow. "Mmm." Lu Changsheng nodded his head and entered the mansion with Bai Ling. "Dad, dad!" "Husband, Ling’er!" Returning home was naturally a bustling affair. All the wives and children came to greet them. The first batch of children had all grown quite a bit. They no longer clung affectionately like they did when they were little, eager to be hugged. As for the younger batch of children, due to spending less time together, their relationship with Lu Changsheng as a father was relatively less intimate. They greeted their father with respectful salutes. After briefly caring for and greeting his wives and children, and seeing that most of the people had dispersed, Lu Changsheng looked towards his son Lu Ping’an, who had been standing silently by the side. "Ping’an, why are you standing there looking lost? Is there something you want to talk to Dad about?" Lu Changsheng said with a light chuckle. He knew his son wanted to tell him about his breakthrough to the Innate level. But he hadn’t spoken up as there were always people around. "Dad, I’ve broken through to the Innate level!" Lu Ping’an immediately said with a beaming smile. "Breaking through to the Innate level, not bad, not bad, worthy of being my son. I remember you’re just over a month shy of turning sixteen." "Tsk tsk tsk, breaking through to the Martial Dao Innate level before sixteen, you’d be considered a genius in the martial world." Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder and said with a beaming smile, observing his son closely. Thanks to practicing martial arts from a young age, Lu Ping’an had a very robust stature. But he didn’t appear overly muscular, exuding a feel of being tall and vigorous. His height was almost 1.75 meters, only slightly shorter than him. He guessed in another two years, the boy would catch up with him. The son’s appearance couldn’t be considered handsome, only fair. And he only bore a slight resemblance to his father’s profile. This was entirely due to Lu Changsheng practicing the Immortal Beauty Technique and the improvements from Peach Blossom Gu. Moreover, Lu Ping’an’s features were fair with a hint of firmness and toughness. While Lu Changsheng himself was handsome and transcendent, smooth and jade-like. The father and son exuded completely different temperaments. "Hehe, it’s all thanks to your upbringing, Dad. If it weren’t for eating Spirit Rice and spiritual meals every day, how could my martial arts have progressed so quickly?" Lu Ping’an scratched his head and said with a wide grin. "You mentioned before that you wanted to travel, and Dad told you to wait until you’ve broken through to Innate. Now that you’ve achieved Innate, Dad naturally won’t stop you. Do you have any plans in mind?" Lu Changsheng sat down with his son on the side and asked aloud. In truth, he wasn’t very reassured about Lu Ping’an’s journey outside. Because his son had a kind and honest nature. Under Lu Lanshu’s education, although he had become somewhat shrewd, he was still straightforward.
