Chapter 223: Chapter 117: Sister, Lu Changsheng is Dead!_2
At the same time, she was also comforting herself.

Because she knew Lu Changsheng had some secrets.

He was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

Especially since the time Lu Changsheng rescued her and they practiced dual cultivation together, she knew that Lu Changsheng’s strength was not just breaking through to the Sixth Level Energy Refinement as Lu Miaohuan had said.

He had most likely broken through to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement.

Yet even at the Seventh Level Energy Refinement, facing three Robber Cultivators was more likely to be perilous than not.

When she encountered those four Robber Cultivators, if she hadn’t relied on her protective magic artifact and talismans, as well as being close to Nine Dragons Market, she would not have been able to escape at all.

Moreover, if it hadn’t been for Lu Changsheng’s rescue at the time, she would have been on a path to certain death.

Thinking of these things, waves of sadness and discomfort surged in her heart again.

“Even if Lu Changsheng had just broken through to the Sixth Level Energy Refinement, he never fought with anyone before and even gave half of his talismans to us for self-defense, *sob sob sob*.”

Lu Miaohuan thought of the moment Lu Changsheng went down the flying boat and gave her half of the talismans, and her heart ached even more.

She looked at them, and although most of those talismans were middle-grade.

There were also several superior-grade talismans among them.

She knew these talismans must have been Lu Changsheng’s own life-saving talismans for self-defense.

Yet in such a dangerous moment, he not only lured the enemies away but also divided half of his life-saving talismans between them.

“If it weren’t for my return to Qingzhu Mountain, making Changsheng stay at the Spirit Talisman shop, Changsheng wouldn’t have encountered danger.”

Hearing her younger sister’s tearful words, Lu Miaoge too was touched.

A sense of self-reproach grew in her heart.

She felt that if it weren’t for her, Lu Changsheng would have returned to Qingzhu Mountain last time.

Then he would not have met with this ambush, and this incident wouldn’t have happened.

“Changsheng, you must come back alive…”

Lu Miaoge silently prayed in her heart, unwilling to believe the news of Lu Changsheng’s death.

Seeing her younger sister’s grief-stricken and heartbroken look, Lu Miaoge sighed deeply in her heart.

She had always known that her younger sister had a certain fondness for Lu Changsheng.

But she had not expected that her sister’s affection for Lu Changsheng had reached such an extent.

“If before, Huanhuan’s feelings for Changsheng were just liking and fondness…”

“But many times, memories can beautify a person.”

“Now, having gone through such an event, the affection, fondness, and sorrow in Huanhuan’s heart keep fermenting… I’m afraid she’ll never be able to forget Changsheng now.”

Lu Miaoge knew her sister’s temperament very well.

She also knew that after this event, her sister could never forget Lu Changsheng.

Thinking of her own complicated fate with Lu Changsheng, and now her sister’s as well, she couldn’t help but sigh.

But thinking of the uncertainty surrounding Lu Changsheng’s life or death, Lu Miaoge didn’t dwell on it further.

She merely hoped that Lu Changsheng could come back safely.

“It’s okay, Changsheng will definitely come back, he must.”

Lu Miaoge softly comforted her sister, her voice trembling slightly, but with a touch of firmness.

She always felt that Lu Changsheng wouldn’t die so easily.

As long as Lu Changsheng’s body wasn’t seen, she refused to believe that he was dead.

At the same time.

The residence of the Fourth Elder.

“Changsheng went to draw away the Robber Cultivators, making three late-stage Energy Refinement Robber Cultivators pursue him.”

Upon hearing the words of Lu Yuanding and Lu Yuanhua, the Fourth Elder’s face also changed drastically.

Having dealt with Lu Changsheng so much, she naturally knew that her son-in-law wasn’t as simple as he appeared.

He possessed some unknown opportunities and secrets.

The Lu Family Ancestor had also said that Lu Changsheng was a bearer of great destiny.

Therefore, she knew that Lu Changsheng dared to do so, drawing away a Robber Cultivator, because he certainly had confidence.

He believed he could escape from the hands of a late-stage Energy Refinement Robber Cultivator.

But now Lu Yuanhua was saying that three Robber Cultivators went directly after Lu Changsheng, which weighed heavily on her mind and filled her with worry.

“The most urgent task now is to send people to assist the Second Elder.”

“I will go to see the ancestor to see if there’s a way to find Changsheng’s whereabouts.”

After all, the Fourth Elder was someone who had lived through many trials and tribulations.

Without dwelling on it or wasting emotions, she quickly calmed down, spoke out, and began discussing how to address the situation.

“Ah, Changsheng, if something happens to you, how will I explain to Miaoyun…”

After Lu Yuanding and Lu Yuanhua left, the Fourth Elder sighed deeply as well.

She temporarily decided not to inform her granddaughter about this news to avoid causing her worry.

She then went to the depths of Qingzhu Valley to meet with the Lu Family Ancestor.

To see if there was any way to determine Lu Changsheng’s situation.

….

Two days later.

“What, Changsheng lured the Robber Cultivators away and is now missing!”

“How could you let Changsheng do such a risky thing!”

The Second Elder, having met with the Lu Family members, reacted with anger upon hearing about Lu Changsheng, his face showing disapproval as he glared at Lu Yuanhua.

Before this, he had not fully accepted Lu Changsheng.

He felt that time was needed to observe whether Lu Changsheng could fully integrate into the Lu Family.

But after Lu Changsheng refused the Yu Family’s invitation and saved Lu Miaoge.

And now facing a crisis with the Lu Family, and having firmly stated his intent to share fate with the Lu Family, he had come to accept Lu Changsheng completely, as one of their own.

But now, Lu Yuanhua was saying, Lu Changsheng lured away the Robber Cultivators and was missing, which outraged him.

“Second Elder.”

Lu Yuanhua bowed guiltily with clasped hands.

“Have you found any clues to Changsheng?”

The Second Elder asked in a grave voice.

“No, we have already searched the area where Changsheng lured away the Robber Cultivators, and there are no signs of battle.”

“So there are only two possibilities….”

Lu Yuanhua spoke out.

No signs of battle meant there was no intense confrontation, and the battle ended very quickly.

So there were only two possibilities.

Either Lu Changsheng escaped directly.
