Naturally stunning, a peerless charm. However, his gaze first fell upon the white-dressed girl next to the woman in black. The pure and innocent face of this white-dressed girl, along with her ethereal aura, formed a sharp contrast with the voluptuous woman. Her slightly petite figure was also developing nicely, curvy in all the right places. But walking hand in hand with the woman in black, she seemed somewhat slight, not quite as eye-catching. When Lu Changsheng looked towards this girl, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable and familiar sense of wonder. "My dear daughter, what’s wrong?" Nangong Mili observed Meng Xiaochan suddenly pause in her steps and gaze toward somewhere not too distant, then followed her line of sight with a glance before leaning down slightly and asking softly. "It’s nothing." Meng Xiaochan immediately snapped back to reality and shook her head. But in her heart she couldn’t help but ponder, who was that person? She had great faith in her own intuition. If she felt familiarity, then she must have met this person before. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remember having met such an individual before. However, Nangong Mili brought her to a courtyard where many were discussing matters, interrupting her train of thought and preventing her from dwelling on it further. Lu Changsheng watched as the woman in black and the girl in white left and was somewhat puzzled. Because having broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he shouldn’t have inexplicable feelings or whims. "Could it be the influence of a Peach Blossom Gu?" Lu Changsheng’s brows furrowed slightly as he queried the Peach Blossom Gu. He wanted to know if the strange and familiar feeling had any connection to the Peach Blossom Gu. After all, aside from the bewildering and mysterious influences of a Peach Blossom Gu, he could think of no other reason. "Affection..." The Peach Blossom Gu conveyed a thought. It informed Lu Changsheng that this peculiar feeling did not originate from itself. But from another Gu. The backlash of the Gu in the past. "Could it be her?" Lu Changsheng, upon receiving the thoughts from the Peach Blossom Gu between his brows, felt somewhat surprised. He immediately realized that the white-dressed girl was Meng Xiaochan, who had once cast a love Gu on him that backfired. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 "Who would have thought that after more than ten years, I would encounter her here." Lu Changsheng’s brows lifted, and he let out a light chuckle. No wonder he had felt that inexplicable sense of familiarity just now. As for meeting Meng Xiaochan, he wasn’t particularly moved. The battle between the Lu Family and the Chen Family back then happened to owe much to Meng Xiaochan. Moreover, after the event, Meng Xiaochan had given him two Foundation Establishment Elixirs and one Foundation Establishment Spirit Object; thus, in his mind, any debt of gratitude or grievance with Meng Xiaochan was settled. So he harbored no resentment toward Meng Xiaochan. And he didn’t dwell on her too much. At most, he wanted to ask Meng Xiaochan about the effects of the Gu that he had seized from her. "She seemed to glance this way just now, probably due to the love Gu, right?" "But now that I have the Misty Sky Bead masking my aura, I wonder if she can recognize me." Lu Changsheng mused to himself. Meng Xiaochan had disguised herself. If not for the peculiar familiar feeling just now and the hint from the Peach Blossom Gu, he would never guess who she was. Thus, he was curious whether Meng Xiaochan could recognize him upon seeing him. "If she did recognize me, would that be considered Peach Blossom Luck?" Lu Changsheng stroked his chin, recalling when Meng Xiaochan had departed. She had said she had urgent matters to attend to and couldn’t stay by his side, but once those were resolved, she would spend the rest of her life with him. "She must have been young then; to have reached the Foundation Establishment at such an age suggests that her Spiritual Root Talent is above average." "If we were to have children, their Spiritual Root Talent would likely be quite exceptional." Lu Changsheng thought to himself. Although in the Cultivation World age is not easily discerned by examining bones, and it’s difficult to tell one’s true age, not everyone in the Cultivation World’s lower echelon can afford to take Elixirs of Youth or practice Preserving Appearance Techniques. Therefore, by one’s outward appearance, a general estimate of their age can still be made. He remembered when he first encountered Meng Xiaochan, she was at the late stage of Energy Refinement, disguised as a young man, and later on, always appeared as a young girl. It suggested that she wasn’t too old. Later, her ability to achieve Foundation Establishment on her own indicated a rather impressive Spiritual Root Talent. "There’s no use counting my chickens before they hatch." "And the beautiful woman by her side didn’t look simple; could she possibly be her mother?" Lu Changsheng shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it any further. When he had encountered Meng Xiaochan in the past, she was always quite resourceful. The first time, she managed to survive under his Talisman Treasure, the Golden Light Brick. The second time, if not for the Peach Blossom Gu on his side, he might have fallen into her hands. The third time, she had even become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Furthermore, she was able to offer him two Foundation Establishment Elixirs and a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object. Such generosity was not something many Foundation Establishment Families could afford. It revealed to him that Meng Xiaochan was no ordinary individual. Though he’s now at Foundation Establishment, with methods comparable to those with False Cores, his main purpose this time was to purchase goods. There was no need to complicate matters by contemplating taking Meng Xiaochan back for the purpose of bearing children. Moreover, as long as the love Gu provided a connection, he and she were bound to unite sooner or later; there was no need to rush. Without delay, Lu Changsheng arrived at an inn, booked a room, altered his appearance with the Misty Sky Bead within the room, changed into a blue magical robe, and headed to the largest merchant house in Jiuxiao Immortal City, the Jiuxiao Merchant House. This trip was all about making major purchases. Even with the Misty Sky Bead in use as a disguise, it still paid to be cautious. Besides, his identity as Han Li was known to some from the Qingyun Sect and other passengers aboard the Spiritual Vessel. "Welcome to Jiuxiao Merchant House; may I know if the guest is looking to buy or sell?" Upon arriving at Jiuxiao Merchant House, a beautiful female Cultivator dressed in a uniformed skirt came forward to greet him. "Do you have Third Rank Talisman Making materials?" Lu Changsheng asked. "Third Rank Talisman Making materials?" The hosting female Cultivator showed a hint of surprise upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words.
