``` "Having people to warm up the scene really does make things better," Lu Changsheng watched Lu Yuanzhong and Bai Yunyang, who always made timely statements to set the tone and atmosphere, and nodded to himself in approval. He then chatted and drank with the cultivators in the great hall. During the process, he expressed that his Family was now in a state of rebuilding and many tasks could not be undertaken due to the lack of manpower. Thus, many shops were subletting and several Spirit Stone mines required collaboration with others. Originally, Lu Changsheng planned to slowly take over the properties under the name of the Yu Family. But because of Xiahou Monie’s incident, most of the Yu Family’s people were taken away by the Qingyun Sect, making a stable handover impossible. With such an abundance of properties, it was clear his own family’s people couldn’t manage them all. So after keeping some of the businesses, he sold and rented out the others to Qingzhu Mountain, Hundred Birds Lake, and other families. This was seen as the Lu Family’s first friendly cooperation with outsiders. As for those shops and businesses, he planned to recover them when the children of the Family were capable enough to hold their weight. Furthermore, in Lu Changsheng’s view, controlling the four major industries of Talisman Making, Alchemy, Puppetry, and Wine Brewing was already sufficient. Expanding the market, engaging in foreign trade, and sales issues could be fully carried out through cooperation with the surrounding families. Seeing Lu Changsheng selling and leasing so many high-quality properties below market price, these families were very delighted to take on cooperation, expressing hopes to have more exchanges with his Family in the future. Afterward, Lu Changsheng publicly expressed that his Family now had many children and that future generations should communicate more. Continue your journey on freewebnovel Upon hearing this, many small families immediately stated that they had descendants who could interact with the Lu Family disciples. The foundation-building family banquet held by Lu Changsheng, and Lu Xianzhi’s marriage to Xu Tiao’er, had caused much envy among many small family forces. Not only did they receive a substantial bride price, they also clung to the coattails of Lu Changsheng, the master of Bi Lake Mountain. Given such an opportunity, they naturally did not want to miss it. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 Moreover, after getting to know him over time, the surrounding families knew that Lu Changsheng was exceptional in treating his children. Previously, he had directly spent thousands of Spirit Stones and Second Rank Talismans to send away his non-Spiritual Root mortal children. The family establishment ceremony over, Lu Changsheng held the wedding preparations. Back when he married Lu Miaoyun, he had promised Lu Lanshu, Lu Qing’er, Lu Zi’er, Qu Zhenzhen, and others that he would give them a grand wedding in the future. Now that the Family was established, naturally, he would not forget these wives and concubines. After all, without a legitimate wife to bear his children for ten months and raise them, he would not have reached his current status in just over twenty years. A virtuous wife supports my aspirations to soar, and I shall take her along as I ascend the clouds! Despite all of them being celebrated together, the wedding was extremely grand. It left all the guests and visitors deeply moved by the spectacle. They thought to themselves that Lu Changsheng was indeed a man of deep sentiment and affection. Having become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, he not only did not abandon his poor wife but also, once a son-in-law and a family’s son-in-law, now made up for the lack of a perfect wedding by re-hosting it. Even the maids who were once bought by Lu Changsheng were now given a status, becoming concubines. This gesture greatly moved many family forces and female cultivators. They considered whether or not they should offer themselves as concubines or maids to Lu Changsheng. After all, not only was Lu Changsheng a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator and the master of Bi Lake Mountain, a Second Rank Talisman Master, but he was also strikingly handsome. Under such circumstances, still being so profoundly loyal and affectionate, he was simply the dream lover! The only flaw was that he might be a bit too amorous. But compared to his merits, this flaw seemed not so significant. Besides, for a dignified Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, a Second Rank Talisman Master, having several wives and maids was quite normal, wasn’t it? ... The next day. The family founding ceremony and the wedding ended, and the guests each returned to their homes. The whole Bi Lake Mountain suddenly became much quieter. "Xi Yue, rest assured, one day I will surely gain the approval of your master and go to Qingyun Sect to ask for your hand in marriage, and we’ll hold a grand dao companion ceremony!" After spending the wedding night, Lu Changsheng immediately went to the courtyard where Xiao Xiyue lived and spoke out loud. Having re-hosted a wedding for his wives and concubines the day before but unable to reveal his relationship with Xiao Xiyue had left him feeling very guilty. "Proposing to the Qingyun Sect..." Xiao Xiyue’s slightly cool face heard these words, her lips lightly pursed, her eyes softened, showing a bit of longing. Even though she cultivated the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, witnessing Lu Changsheng’s wedding with his wives and concubines the day before, she couldn’t help feeling a bit of desire. The thought of being legitimately together with Lu Changsheng one day. But remembering her Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, the Golden Core Path, she said softly, "Changsheng, there’s no need for such efforts, I..." "Xi Yue, this is my promise, rest assured, before you reach Core Formation, I will surely find a perfect solution!" Before Xiao Xiyue could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng grasped her soft white hand and spoke firmly. Xiao Xiyue’s Core Formation would take at least another thirty to fifty years. He believed that within this time, he would certainly be able to address her situation. If all else fails, he would reach Core Formation before her and simply go to Qingyun Sect to propose! With his extraordinary talent, once he achieved Core Formation, he should be invincible at the same level, shouldn’t he? By then, he would not need to continue lying low in Jiang Country and could afford to be a bit bolder. "Changsheng..." Xiao Xiyue’s heart fluttered, but before she could continue, Lu Changsheng had already closed in. "Xi Yue, I’ve missed you." He pulled the graceful figure wrapped in the moon-white dress into his embrace, capturing the slightly parted laurel lips. ```
