Chapter 224: Chapter 117: Sister, Lu Changsheng is Dead!_3
Either Lu Changsheng was easily slain and captured by the three people,

or facing three cultivators at the Energy Refinement Late Stage, they all inevitably considered the latter possibility more likely.

“Has the patriarch been informed of this matter?”

Thinking of the patriarch’s once favorable opinion of Lu Changsheng, the Second Elder inquired.

“The Fourth Elder went to see the patriarch, but Changsheng had no token on him and had been subjected to soul-tracking methods, so the patriarch could not sense Changsheng’s situation,”

Lu Yuanhua said with bitterness.

For a cultivation family like the Lu Family, there were no such things as Soul Lamps or Identity Jades to determine life and death.

Only a few core disciples would have soul-tracking charms and tokens left by the family elder, to prevent any accidents.

“Search, continue the search, expand the search area!”

“Send a message as soon as there is news!”

After a moment of silence, the Second Elder spoke directly.

At the same time,

Inside a cave,

“About time to head back, otherwise Miaoyun and the others, seeing the Second Elder and the rest returning but not me, would probably start to worry,”

Lu Changsheng, after laying low for two days, looked at the sky outside and felt it was almost time.

He then added some signs of battle damage to himself.

Afterward, he walked out of the cave, released his Iron Feather Eagle from the Storage Bag, and flew towards Qingzhu Mountain.

…

A day later,

Lu Changsheng, riding on the Iron Feather Eagle, landed outside Qingzhu Mountain.

“Lu Changsheng, you’re back, are you alright?”

At the gate, an elder of the Lu Family saw Lu Changsheng and immediately exclaimed with joy.

Sizing up Lu Changsheng and seeing no serious injuries, the elder also let out a sigh of relief.

“Yes, I’m fine. I hid for two days after escaping the pursuit, which is why I’m only returning now,”

Lu Changsheng responded.

“Good good good, it’s good that you’re back, good that you’re back.”

“The family has sent people out to look for you; I will send a message now to call them back,”

The family elder stated, nodding.

Lu Yuanding had instructed before to send a message as soon as Lu Changsheng returned.

“I’ve made the family worry; I will go home and report that I’m safe,”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately said.

He knew his actions would surely cause concern to the Lu Family.

Moreover, his wives and concubines, knowing that others from the Nine Dragons Market had returned and he had not, would surely worry as well.

Thinking of his year-long absence from home, he longed deeply for his wives, concubines, and children.

“Good good good, go on,”

Seeing Lu Changsheng only suffered minor wounds and no serious harm, the family elder didn’t say much more.

Lu Changsheng nodded, and upon entering Qingzhu Mountain, he promptly headed straight for his home.

Along the way, he vaguely observed that the Lu Family was on high alert, with notably more family disciples patrolling.

Greeting several Lu Family disciples on the road informed Lu Changsheng that only a small number of people knew about the danger he had encountered.

Before long, Lu Changsheng entered Qingzhu Valley and arrived at his estate.

“Husband~”

“Husband is back!”

“Daddy, daddy!”

“Look, daddy is back!”

Just as Lu Changsheng entered, his wives and concubines who were with the children in the yard rushed over to greet him with surprised joy.

“Husband, what happened to you, why is your magical robe damaged?”

One of his wives immediately noticed the damage on Lu Changsheng’s magical robe and expressed concern.

Seeing the expressions of his wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng instantly knew.

Lù Family did not mention to their wives about what happened on the way home.

Therefore, their wives were unaware of the chase and attempted murder by the robber cultivator.

“I encountered a slight mishap on the road, nothing serious,”

said Lu Changsheng immediately, waving his hand dismissively.

He did not want to cause his wives to worry.

He quickly went to the side hall, changed his clothes, and accompanied his wives and children to the backyard.

To visit the other wives and children.

“My lord, you’re back!”

Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the other ladies in the backyard were overjoyed upon seeing Lu Changsheng.

They put down the children and rushed towards Lu Changsheng with delighted faces, embracing him.

“Hehe, have you missed your husband?”

Lu Changsheng gathered the two petite wives into his arms.

“Yes!”

Lu Miaoyun’s eyes were full of tender affection as she spoke.

Qu Zhenzhen, who had become less shy than before, clung tightly to Lu Changsheng and said in a soft, sweet voice.

“Your husband has missed you too,”

said Lu Changsheng gently.

After hugging the two women warmly for a while, he did not neglect any of his wives or concubines.

He showed care to every single one of them, then turned his attention to the children.

But now, with so many children, he was honestly confused.

He could not immediately recognize who was who.

Especially since he had been away for a year.

All the children that were in their mothers’ bellies had been born.

There were eleven children whom he had not yet seen or held.

Next, Lu Changsheng looked at these children and named the eleven new ones.

He then started chatting with his wives about old times, mentioning his experiences in Nine Dragons Market, and listening to his wives share the little things about family and life.

And just at that moment, a startled and delightful voice reached them.

“Lu Changsheng!”

They saw a young woman who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate features, a stunning face, an elegant figure, dressed in a black and gold figure-hugging dress, staring at Lu Changsheng.

She then rushed towards Lu Changsheng with a surprised and delighted face.

Lu Changsheng gazed at the excited young lady rushing toward him and was slightly taken aback.

He wasn’t sure why this young lady was so excited today.

Still, he instinctively opened his arms.

Suddenly, he was enveloped in a fragrant breeze and a tender embrace.

“What’s going on here?”

Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and other ladies chatting with Lu Changsheng were taken aback by the scene, left in a daze.

Confused,

they didn’t understand how Lu Miaohuan suddenly arrived in their home,

bursting so excitedly and eagerly into the arms of their husband.

Watching Lu Miaohuan, who was joyfully clinging to their husband, Lu Miaoyun, Qu Zhenzhen, and the others exchanged perplexed glances, not knowing what to say.

Not far off, Lu Miaoge, who had arrived with Lu Miaohuan, showed a helpless expression on her face.

She had not expected her sister to act in such a manner in public, and in front of Lu Changsheng’s other wives no less.

But she could understand her sister’s feelings.

Hers had been a few days filled with restlessness, unable to eat or drink properly.

Just hearing about Lu Changsheng’s return had made her thrilled, insisting on coming over.

Lu Miaoge, watching Lu Miaohuan embracing Lu Changsheng, gently pursed her lips, her eyes filled with soft joy,

but her emotions were somewhat mixed.

PS: There will be a second chapter, but it will be very late, so everyone doesn’t need to wait
