Chapter 299: Chapter 141: The Different Levels of Foundation Establishment – From 3 to 6 to 9!_1 In the room of ancient demeanor, Xiao Xiyue recounted to Yun Wanshang the general situation between herself and Lu Changsheng. Yun Wanshang listened quietly. During the conversation, she inquired about the matter of Lu Changsheng already having children. Xiao Xiyue then expressed that this was also a reason she chose Lu Changsheng as the target for her emotional tribulation. Because the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique could potentially harm both herself and others in the end. Lu Changsheng was very affectionate, with many wives and children. Under such circumstances, even if she were to leave in the future, she wouldn’t cause Lu Changsheng too much sorrow and suffering. Hearing this, Yun Wanshang’s fists involuntarily clenched tight. It wasn’t because she was angry at Xiao Xiyue’s thoughts. Previously when Xiao Xiyue asked her to refine the Golden Crow Elixir, she had already guessed Xiao Xiyue’s intention. She was thinking of using it to settle their karmic debts, in order to practice the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique. Her anger was due to the fact that upon hearing Lu Changsheng had many wives and children, she felt particularly uncomfortable. Recalling how after a night of passion with Lu Changsheng, he looked at her with a pitiful and aggrieved expression. At that time, she thought Lu Changsheng was an innocent and pure young man. But now, hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words and learning that the man had already had a bevy of wives, and was the father of dozens of children, she felt an extreme sense of frustration and dissatisfaction. She almost wished she could strike Lu Changsheng with her sword right now. “Rest assured, Master, I have already spoken to Changsheng about this, and will explain everything to him when the time comes,” Xiao Xiyue said, pressing her lips together as she looked at her master, thinking that Yun Wanshang was angry with her. “Sigh.” Yun Wanshang, seeing her disciple like this, wondered whether Xiao Xiyue could truly overcome her emotional tribulation. She sighed deeply, not wanting to question or dwell on the matter further. Because the matter of an emotional tribulation could only be dealt with by Xiao Xiyue herself. There was only so much she could help with. “You just have to be clear about it in your own heart,” “If there’s anything, you can send a message to your teacher,” Yun Wanshang said with a faint sigh. At this point, there wasn’t much else she could say. She just felt a profound sense of the whims of fate, which had disrupted her own state of mind. “Thank you, Master.” Xiao Xiyue’s eyes revealed softness as she respectfully bowed in salute. Yun Wanshang waved her hand, indicating for her to leave. Xiao Xiyue bowed again and left the room of the inn. “Sigh, fate really toys with us,” muttered Yun Wanshang to herself after Xiao Xiyue had gone, the room now left with only her. She sighed deeply again. Her heart was a mixture of emotions and she couldn’t completely settle down. “However, this Lu Changsheng, a mere farmer’s son, was rejected in the Qingyun Sect’s entrance examination, became a son-in-law in a Foundation Establishment Family, and within just over ten years, he has grown to this extent.” “It seems he too has had great fortune and a formidable destiny,” Yun Wanshang mused, her gaze casting towards the direction of the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop, her expression calm. She had been surprised by Lu Changsheng’s level of cultivation when she saw it. She had regarded Lu Changsheng as nothing more than a cultivator with an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root. Now, having understood more about Lu Changsheng through Xiao Xiyue, she adapted her thinking, feeling it made sense. After all, as a Nascent Soul Immortal, her vision was naturally higher than that of ordinary people. Lu Changsheng’s performance was indeed astonishing, but in the eyes of a Nascent Soul Immortal like her, it was just so. After all, Yun Wanshang herself, on her own cultivation journey, had achieved Core Formation before the age of a hundred, not solely because of her exceptional talent, but also due to having opportunities—a great chance and destiny. “To think that in the mysterious workings of fate, I chose him, must have been due to some amount of destiny,” “But alas, fate makes fools of us all,” Yun Wanshang sighed softly. For some unknown reason, she felt a hollow restlessness within her heart. She then turned into a rainbow light and disappeared from the inn. … “Xi Yue,” Lu Changsheng sent his daughter back to the Spiritual Talisman Shop, leaving her in Lu Miaoge’s care, and then he returned to the crossroads. Soon after, he saw Xiao Xiyue coming out of an inn. “Changsheng,” Xiao Xiyue, upon seeing Lu Changsheng, quickly approached him. Then she spoke up to explain, “The one who was watching you just now was my master.” “She was worried about me, so she also came down the mountain.” Xiao Xiyue said. “Your master!?” Lu Changsheng was startled when he heard this. He knew that Xiao Xiyue’s master was a Nascent Soul Immortal from the Qingyun Sect. He hadn’t expected that this Nascent Soul Immortal would actually accompany Xiao Xiyue down the mountain. And that she had been secretly observing him. This sent a shiver down his spine. After all, if a Nascent Soul Immortal took a dislike to him, he would have no hope of escape. “Did your master leave any instructions?” Lu Changsheng cautiously asked. He was unsure what this Nascent Soul Immortal’s attitude toward him might be. After all, the current situation between him and Xiao Xiyue might be displeasing to a master. “Don’t worry, my master was just concerned about me and came to see for herself.” “Now that she’s seen me, she should be leaving,” said Xiao Xiyue, her lips curving slightly as she watched Lu Changsheng react. “I regret that I didn’t get to meet the Immortal,” Lu Changsheng said, feeling relieved upon hearing that. He roughly understood that Xiao Xiyue’s master was aware that Xiao Xiyue was using him to cultivate the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique. Therefore, she probably didn’t mind the nature of his relationship with Xiao Xiyue. “If that Nascent Soul Immortal knew that I wanted her disciple to bear a child for me, I am afraid she would strike me down with a single sword,” thought Lu Changsheng inwardly. “Usually, my master doesn’t like meeting people, but if there’s a chance in the future, I will introduce you,” said Xiao Xiyue. “I was just speaking off the cuff,” Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said. Although he was curious about Xiao Xiyue’s master, the Nascent Soul Immortal of Qingyun Sect, he had no real desire to meet her. After all, facing a Great Cultivator with such an immense gap in strength could truly be frightening.
