The voice was not angry, but joyously bellowing. "Hehe, as expected of the Nine Netherhound, to be able to sense the presence so easily," Lu Changsheng watched this scene with a light laugh. He then raised his hand and removed the invisibility effect from the Spirit Boat. As the Spirit Boat became visible, Lu Ping’an immediately saw, aboard the airborne Spirit Boat, Lu Changsheng in a cyan robe, looking handsome and elegant with a transcendent aura, and Lu Miaoge — with her lovely face, statuesque figure, and immortal-like robe fluttering. "Dad!" "Auntie!" Lu Ping’an called out respectfully. Before he hadn’t felt it as strongly. This trip outside had taken him and Qin Yi to the lower levels of the Cultivation World, and there he had clearly seen that the Cultivation World was nothing like his childhood memories. Throughout the entire Cultivation World, he saw only a few who possessed the celestial aura like his father. Especially now, as his father and aunt stood on the Spirit Boat looking like a pair of divine beings shrouded in a celestial mist, he felt a touch of envy deep in his eyes. "Hmm, how long have you been back?" Lu Changsheng landed the Spirit Boat and smiled at his eldest son before him. He reached out to pat the Nine Netherhound that had come up to him. The Nine Netherhound was now two meters tall. Its fur was dark and glossy; its red eyes, and its criss-crossed fangs outright intimidating to behold. "Four months," Lu Ping’an replied respectfully. "Ping’an is all grown up now." Lu Miaoge said with a gentle smile as she looked at Lu Ping’an. She had only seen him a few times when Lu Ping’an was younger. When she had married Lu Changsheng, Lu Ping’an and the others had already been sent to Ruyi Prefecture. Immediately after, she turned to Lu Qingsong and the other Lu Family Disciples, saying, "This is your brother Ping’an." "Big brother." "Brother Ping’an." Lu Qingsong and a few children called out. They were young and had not met Lu Ping’an before. But they knew that the Lu Ping’an before them was Lu Changsheng’s eldest son. "No need to be courteous." Lu Ping’an grinned at everyone. He could tell that these finely dressed young men and women were all exceptional. They likely weren’t without Spiritual Roots, sent here by his father for care. Among them, besides the young man who called him "big brother" and bore a resemblance to his father and Aunt Miaoge, the others probably weren’t his father’s children. "Let’s go and talk inside," Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder, noting the growth his son had shown during his time outside. He then led Lu Miaoge and the others to the main hall. "My Lord, husband!" "Dad, father!" When Lu Lanshu and the other wives and children heard of Lu Changsheng’s return, they rushed to greet him, creating a lively atmosphere at home. "Dad." Soon after, a woman in her late teens holding a baby approached and called out to Lu Changsheng. "Xue’er." Lu Changsheng looked at his daughter-in-law, Li Xue’er, with a nod and a smile, knowing that the baby in her arms was the first grandchild of the Lu Family. "Is Wuyu not home?" Lu Changsheng looked around and noticed that his son Lu Wuyu wasn’t present. He had primarily come to see how his sons Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Quanzhen were doing. "My husband is mostly in Luo’an County these days. I have already sent someone to inform him to come back," Li Xue’er immediately responded. "No problem, I was just asking," Lu Changsheng waved his hand, aware that this son was serving as a county magistrate. Continue reading at freewebnovel He turned to the child in Li Xue’er’s arms and asked, "Has this child been named?" The child had only been born two months before and still had somewhat wrinkled skin. Through the system, he knew the child did not have Spiritual Roots. This was normal. Neither Lu Wuyu nor Li Xue’er had Spiritual Roots. The chances were high that their child wouldn’t either. "My husband said to wait for dad’s return before naming the child," Li Xue’er said respectfully, handing the baby to Lu Changsheng. "I’ll name him," Lu Changsheng took the child, considering what name to give this first grandchild of the Lu family. He had ideas for the third generation, wanting to create a generation name sequence. After pondering for a moment, Lu Changsheng summoned a brush and a scroll with a gesture of his hand. "Mysterious Prime Eternal, True Everlasting, Guarding Virtue and Wisdom, Hopes Spread Through Jade Void, Worldly Grandeur and Honor, Profound Subtlety, Boundless Through Ages, Soaring to Heavens, Transcendence in the Universe," And then, with one hand holding the child and the other waving the brush, Lu Changsheng began to inscribe the generational sequence for the Lu Family. "As the Lu Family’s first grandchild, let’s begin with the ’Mysterious’ (玄) generation. He shall be named ’Xuan Ming’." Lu Changsheng declared, giving the child his name. He then took out a Warm Jade and a Spiritual Pattern Carving Knife from his Storage Bag and engraved the name ’Xuan Ming’ onto it. Being the family’s first grandchild, naturally, he deserved a special token. "Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming, this is your name, given to you by your grandfather," Li Xue’er said joyously to the child upon hearing this. She and Lu Wuyu had not named the child, in part out of respect for Lu Changsheng. They also hoped Lu Changsheng would leave a stronger impression on their first grandchild, giving the child more affection in the future. Seeing that Lu Changsheng not only provided a name but also a treasured jade, she was immediately overjoyed. The other wives and children present showed signs of envy at this scene. After naming the child, Lu Changsheng chatted casually with his wives and children, learning about the family’s affairs from the past year. Now, Lu Wuyu was married and had started a family. Lu Lanshu also had a good sense of the other children’s circumstances, having arranged matches for them. It was just up to Lu Changsheng, the head of the family, to give his approval. "Alright, as long as the children are willing and think it’s appropriate, that’s fine,"
