Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t know that the Second Elder had gone and spoken to the Fourth Elder about his activities at the Nine Dragons Marketplace.
He was still playing in the courtyard with a group of little ones.
The courtyard had been turned into something resembling a kindergarten playground by him.
At this time, Lu Miaoyun stated that it was getting late, and she needed to go to White Deer Mountain Villa to pick up the children.
In the previous few months, Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile had been sent to study at White Deer Mountain Villa on Qingzhu Mountain.
Therefore, Lu Miaoyun and others usually took turns picking them up and dropping them off.
Upon hearing it was time to pick up the kids, Lu Changsheng immediately expressed his desire to go along.
He, as a father, had not yet had the chance to pick his children up from school.
Soon after, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun left home, heading towards White Deer Mountain Villa.
On the way, Lu Changsheng also shared with Lu Miaoyun about his life in the Nine Dragons Marketplace.
He bought quite a few maids, and fathered quite a few children.
One reason was that he felt there was nothing about this that needed to be hidden.
The family would find out sooner or later.
Additionally, he had a feeling that this matter would probably spread from the Second Elder to the Fourth Elder’s ears.
Eventually reaching the ears of Lu Miaoyun and the other women in the family.
Since that was the case, it would be better for him to mention it to Lu Miaoyun, his main wife, earlier.
Moreover, since the Second Elder had a Flying Boat and it could accommodate a few more people, he planned to take Lu Miaoyun and a few others with him on his return trip to the Nine Dragons Marketplace.
Otherwise, coming back only once every six months meant that they would be apart for quite a long time.
By the time they went to the Nine Dragons Marketplace, Lu Miaoyun and the others would see for themselves, so it was better to give them a heads-up to prepare them mentally.
When Lu Miaoyun heard that Lu Changsheng had found so many maids, she fell silent for a moment.
However, she didn’t say anything and just playfully requested that Lu Changsheng spend more time with them in the coming days.
“Having a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.”
Lu Changsheng mused to himself.
While he could indeed take many maids and concubines if he wished, and Lu Miaoyun wouldn’t have much to say about it, he still hoped his wives could understand and accept the arrangement, making the inner palace more peaceful.
If not, the constant rivalry and jealousy in the palace would drive anyone crazy.
And this was something he greatly appreciated about Lu Miaoyun.
“Husband, next year’s Spiritual Root testing ceremony is coming up, and Ping’an and the others will have to participate.”
Lu Miaoyun, holding onto Lu Changsheng’s arm, spoke out.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s heart missed a beat.
Every year on February 2nd, Qingzhu Mountain held the Spiritual Root testing ceremony.
It was to test the Spiritual Roots of all children aged five or six.
Lu Ping’an, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xile were also approaching the age and would be eligible to participate next year.
But Lu Changsheng was very clear in his heart that none of his four children had a Spiritual Root.
“Yes, who knows if any of them have a Spiritual Root.”
Lu Changsheng sighed lightly as he said this.
At this moment, his heart could not help but feel a sense of sadness.
He had a lot of affection for the children like Lu Ping’an.
“Husband, maybe Ping’an and the others all have Spiritual Roots.”
Lu Miaoyun, holding Lu Changsheng’s hand, said softly.
She knew that such a thing could be cruel for parents.
If there were no Spiritual Roots, their futures would be divided between the worlds of immortals and mortals.
She couldn’t help but think of her own son, Lu Yun.
If he also had no Spiritual Root… he would have to be sent into the secular world as well.
“I’m fine. With such matters, let nature take its course.”
“If they have Spiritual Roots, they can learn Talisman Making with me in the future. If not, they can still lead a good life in the secular world.”
Lu Changsheng pinched his wife’s hand and said with a laugh.
He had long considered such matters and had prepared himself mentally.
It was just that now, with Lu Miaoyun suddenly bringing it up, the reminder that the day was fast approaching made him feel a touch of sorrow.
As they walked and talked, the couple arrived at White Deer Mountain Villa.
The villa wasn’t very large, about the same size as the estate where Lu Changsheng lived.
Inside, there were many other men, women, and children coming to pick up kids, all from the Lu Family.
“Changsheng, Miaoyun, you’re here to pick up the kids?”
“Brother Changsheng, Sister Miaoyun.”
“Changsheng, Little Sister Miaoyun.”
Some recognized Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun, and greeted them.
Lu Changsheng didn’t know many of them.
Some he had seen but didn’t know their names.
Lu Miaoyun, on the other hand, knew most of them and greeted them warmly.
Before long, the sound of a bell ringing came from the villa, and many children came out.
They were all quite young, mostly five or six years old, with a few around seven or eight.
Because children without a Spiritual Root would be sent away from Qingzhu Mountain by the age of eight or nine at the latest.
After all, being born on Qingzhu Mountain and having seen the cultivation world but being unable to cultivate oneself was a cruel reality to face if one remained there.
“Daddy x4, Mother Yun x4!”
Just then, two boys and two girls saw Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun and called out.
They then hurried over with their short little legs.
As Lu Changsheng saw his own children, he immediately greeted them with a smile and scooped up Lu Wuyou and Lu Xile into his arms.
“Did you miss Daddy?”
Lu Changsheng asked as he pulled out sugar-glazed haws he had prepared from his Storage Bag and passed them to the girls.
“We did!” 𝑅êạd new chapt𝒆rs on no/v/e/l𝒃in(.)com
The two little girls replied crisply.
Then, Lu Changsheng turned to Lu Ping’an and Lu Wuyu, who were standing aside somewhat bewildered, and handed each a sugar-glazed haw.
He also pulled out one more and offered it to Lu Miaoyun.
Since he had many children in his family, Lu Changsheng would directly buy these Spirit Fruit sugar-glazed haws wholesale.
Lu Miaoyun, having received one as well, couldn’t help but flash a sweet smile, her eyes curving like crescent moons.
She took a bite from the sugar-glazed haw and then extended it for Lu Changsheng to take a bite.
