Chapter 160: 99 Chapter: Dog-Like Thing! (Reset)_1
Two days later.

Outside Qingzhu Mountain.

Lu Changsheng descended from the Iron Feather Eagle and immediately strode towards his home.

“Changsheng brother.”

“Brother Changsheng.”

“Brother-in-law.”

Many Lu Family disciples greeted Lu Changsheng as they saw him on the road.

In the face of such greetings, even if he did not know them, Lu Changsheng wore a smile and exchanged pleasantries graciously.

“Lu Changsheng must have returned this time because of Lu Miaoyang’s incident.”

“Surely, a few days ago, Miaoyang brother was bitten by Changsheng brother’s pet beast, and it caused quite a commotion. Naturally, they would require Changsheng brother to come back and deal with it.”

“Who knows how this matter will end up.”

“I, for one, hope that Lu Changsheng can teach Lu Miaoyang a lesson.”

“So do I. My father bought a shop from him three years ago, and after all this time, he came back, reneged, and made a fuss. In the end, my father even had to give him spirit stones to settle it down.”

“Alas, there’s no helping it; after all, both of Miaoyang brother’s parents died in battle for the Family, and the Family owes him.”

“Changsheng brother-in-law is a Talisman Master and is also the son-in-law of the Fourth Elder. If he really comes to blows with Lu Miaoyang, he has nothing to fear.”

“It’s not so simple, what if Lu Miaoyang throws a tantrum and refuses to be reasonable, what can Lu Changsheng do?”

“Lu Changsheng is too nice by nature, always polite and accommodating, and he wouldn’t want to offend anyone. In the end, he’ll probably just want to keep the peace.”

“You might be right about that.”

A group of Lu Family disciples began discussing amongst themselves after they saw Lu Changsheng leave.

They were curious about how the situation between Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyang would be resolved.

Lu Changsheng was not aware of, nor did he care about these discussions, and he continued on his way home briskly.

“Husband.”

Lu Miaoyun rushed over as soon as she heard of Lu Changsheng’s return.

A look of guilt and self-reproach colored her face.

In her view, with such a situation having unfolded at home, she, as the legitimate wife, bore some responsibility.

After all, she normally managed the domestic affairs of the household.

“Yun’er, what’s this? Your face is full of self-reproach.”

Lu Changsheng immediately took Lu Miaoyun’s hand, smiling as he spoke.

“My place is at home, yet I allowed such a thing to happen.”

“And it has caused you, husband, to make a special trip back.”

Lu Miaoyun spoke with a tone of deep self-blame.

“Why blame yourself? It’s not your fault. I’ll handle this matter.”

“Besides, you have had a difficult time these days.”

Lu Changsheng cradled Lu Miaoyun’s delicate face, speaking warmly.

How could he possibly blame Lu Miaoyun for this situation?

How could he say she had not properly supervised the children in the house?

In his view, the incident was entirely provoked by Lu Miaoyang.

It had nothing to do with his own family.

Moreover, Lu Ping’an and the others were all quite grown-up now.

They hardly needed adults to watch over them anymore.

If one really had to supervise them, with so many children in the house, it would have been impossible to keep an eye on all of them.

“I came back this time, partly to check on you and the children.”

“Yun’er, you’ve given birth to the child without me by your side, I should be the one feeling guilty.”

Lu Changsheng did not immediately inquire about Lu Miaoyang but rather showed concern for his wife.

After all, his wife had recently given birth to their child, during which he was not present.

Now that he was back, it was only right to show care and ask about her well-being.

“Husband, you’re always busy with your duties.”

Lu Miaoyun was visibly moved, her eyes brimming with tender affection and love.

“Let’s set the matter aside for now and go see the child first.”

“Yun’er, did you have a boy or a girl this time?”

Lu Changsheng stood up and asked.

“Husband, it is a girl.”

Lu Miaoyun replied, her face radiating happiness at Lu Changsheng’s question.

“A girl is good; she will surely be as adorable as you, Yun’er,”

Lu Changsheng laughed as he said this.

He wasn’t overly concerned with the gender of the child.

In his words, he set off with Lu Miaoyun to visit the newborn child.

Upon reaching the inner courtyard, Lu Changsheng visited the children of Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen.

However, looking at the two newborns, he couldn’t tell which child possessed the Spiritual Root.

After all.

Knowing whether a child had the Spiritual Root entirely depended on the thrill provided by the system’s enhancement.

And these two children were born around the same time.

But after inquiring about the exact birth times of the two children, Lu Changsheng knew.

The child with the Spiritual Root was born to Qu Zhenzhen.

Lu Miaoyun’s child did not possess the Spiritual Root.

For this, Lu Changshsheng showed no concern.

After all, regardless of which wife or consort bore the child, he strived to treat all equally.

“Yun’er, has the Family Head mentioned how to deal with Lu Miaoyang’s situation?”

After visiting the child and chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng questioned Lu Miaoyun about the incident.

He was preparing to deal with the purpose of his return.

“The Family Head hopes for a private resolution if possible.”

“Otherwise, according to the Family rules, the incident will affect you negatively in any case.”

“But Miaoyang brother is demanding an exorbitant sum, not showing any intention to negotiate, insisting on a compensation of five hundred spirit stones and demanding to be given Xiaohie as well.”

Lu Miaoyun pursed her lips, speaking with a hint of indignation.

Xiaohie was the name Lu Changsheng casually gave to the Nine Netherhound at home.

After all, a humbly named beast is easier to raise.

“Five hundred spirit stones, and he even dares to demand Xiaohie as compensation, he really has some nerve.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled sarcastically.

It wasn’t just about being bitten.

The life of a Qi Refinement Cultivator isn’t worth five hundred spirit stones.

Out in the world, hiring a desperado wouldn’t cost a hundred spirit stones to take his life.

And the audacity to demand the Nine Netherhound is simply delusional.

If that’s his attitude, Lu Changsheng had no desire to negotiate.

“Grandmother also thinks that Miaoyang brother is overdoing it.”

“So she wanted me to tell you, husband, that it would be best if Miaoyang brother is willing to settle things amicably.”
