On the Jiefeng Spirit Boat, Lu Xuan and Ye Wuhen stood at the bow.
Ye Wuhen turned to look at the people in the cabin, who were chatting happily, and said with a smile, "Xuan 'er, your ability to pursue women is not inferior to your talent in cultivation at all. I heard that you have a confidante in Zhongzhou State, who is the only heir of the Baicao Tang?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan broke into a sweat and said, "Father, you must be joking. They … are all in love with each other. It's not just because of their beauty."
Ye Wuhen nodded and said, "Of course I know that. Speaking of which, you have a rich and colorful experience. You have also gone through trials and tribulations with them. That's good. Only in adversity can one see true love. But you have to be careful not to hurt their hearts. Women are the most sensitive. Fortunately, they don't seem to be jealous people."
"I will be careful."
Then, Ye Wuhen laughed again and changed the topic. She patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder and said, "After saying so much, I just want to ask you, when can I hold a grandson?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan was even more embarrassed and said, "Well, well … I don't think it's time yet. Didn't Grandpa give birth to you when he was over 60 years old? "
Ye Wuhen glared at him and said, "Why should you learn these things instead of the good ones? If you want to learn, you should learn from me. I made your mother pregnant with you when I was your age."
Lu Xuan still wanted to say something, but Ye Wuhen waved her hand and said, "I don't care so much. Anyway, the bloodline of the Ye family depends on you. I know you like adventure. Unless you give birth to a fat boy for me, otherwise, humph, this will be the last time I ask you to leave Jiuhua Alliance. From now on, you will stay in Jiuhua Alliance and learn how to manage the sect with me. You will work hard in cultivation."
Lu Xuan was dumbfounded. He thought about how he couldn't go anywhere in the future and could only stay in Jiuhua Alliance. That would be too boring. Maybe … giving birth to a child in exchange for freedom was a good deal? Ahem, isn't it a little too shameless for me to think like this?
Although Lu Xuan had yet to make the preparations to become a father, he understood in his heart that no matter what, before he left the Heavenly Sword Continent and headed to the Heaven Region, he had to leave behind his bloodline. This wasn't just for himself, but for his entire family.
The Swift Wind Spirit Boat traversed mountain after mountain and river, rapidly approaching Lin City. When they arrived at the Tianwu Empire, Lu Xuan's mood suddenly became somewhat excited.
Not long after, the Swift Wind Spirit Boat slowly slowed down and landed on an open space. This was a large courtyard of the Lord's Mansion of Lin City.
The current Lord of Lin City was still Xia Tao. Xia Tao's background was no longer a secret to the royal family of Tianwu Empire. Of course, they knew that the one with a stronger background was not Xia Tao, but the Lu Family, whose business was spread throughout the entire Tianwu Empire and even included the surrounding countries.
The Emperor of the Tianwu Empire had wanted to promote Xia Tao's position several times, and even offered him the position of Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces, which was the number one military position. However, Xia Tao had repeatedly declined. He would rather stay in Lin City, the land he was familiar with.
Ever since Xia Chenxi and Lu Xuan had privately pledged to marry each other, her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching a level that Xia Tao had never dared to hope for in the past, he had become much less concerned about the secular world. He knew that as long as Xia Chenxi and Lu Xuan existed, the Xia Family would forever be a family that could stand above the imperial power. To put it bluntly, as long as Xia Tao was willing to speak to Lu Xuan, it wouldn't be difficult to replace the Tianwu Empire's royal family with the Xia Family. Of course, Xia Tao had no such intentions. Moreover, the Tianwu Empire's royal family was doing quite well, at least the common people were living and working in peace and contentment.
The arrival of the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat did not cause any panic. Most of the people in the City Lord's Mansion knew who this Gentle Wind Spirit Boat belonged to. In fact, the huge courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion was specially set up for the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat to land. However, Lu Xuan's arrival still surprised and delighted Xia Tao.
He was surprised because Lu Xuan had returned without any warning. He was delighted because Lu Xuan had returned, and he would definitely bring along his precious daughter.
As expected, Xia Tao led a few personal guards to stand before the Gentle Wind Spirit Boat. The first thing he saw was a familiar tall and straight figure walking out. It was Lu Xuan. Following closely behind him were a man and a woman. They seemed to be a generation older than Lu Xuan, but the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. More importantly, the man and the woman gave off an aura that belonged to those in a superior position. This was especially so for the man. Although there was a faint smile on his face, he gave off a dignified feeling.
When Xia Tao looked at him, his heart could not help but beat faster. He himself could be considered as someone in a superior position. Moreover, he frequently came into contact with the Tianwu Empire's Emperor, and had even spoken to the influential figures in the Wind Sword School as equals. Xia Tao had once thought that even if a mountain collapsed before him, he would be able to remain calm and unfazed. However, he did not expect that in front of this man, he could not even feel a trace of pressure, yet he was unable to withstand this formless pressure.
Xia Tao was extremely shocked. Who on earth was this man?
Xia Tao did not dare to look at him anymore. He turned his eyes to the back and finally saw a few familiar figures. They were Xia Chenxi, Lin Xinyi, and Chen Xiaohan. These people were all close and familiar to him. The palpitation in his heart eased a little.
"What a secluded place. Haha, I thought the City Lord's Mansion in the secular world would be incomparably dignified. I did not expect it to be so elegant," Ye Wuhen said with a smile as she looked around.
Xia Tao thought to himself, "This person is indeed a big shot in the cultivation world. At this moment, Xia Chenxi, Lin Xinyi, and the others walked forward happily. Xia Chenxi called out intimately," Father, I'm back. "
Lin Xinyi and Zhang Dongshuang also called him Uncle Xia. Xia Tao and Lin Hongzhi were as close as brothers, so it was natural for them to call him Uncle.
Although Xia Tao really wanted to catch up with his daughter, now that there were distinguished guests, he naturally did not dare to neglect them. He just smiled and nodded at Xia Chenxi and the others, and then went to greet Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan bowed and said, "Lu Xuan pays his respects to Uncle Xia."
"Alas, we are all family. There is no need to be so polite." Xia Tao stopped Lu Xuan with a smile. Then, he respectfully clasped his hands at Ye Wuhen and Zhao Ying, and said, "Xia Tao pays his respects to the two honored guests. It is my honor to have the two of you visit my house."
Seeing this, Ye Wuhen laughed, cupped her hands in return, and said, "Brother Xia, you are Chenxi's father, right? We are all family, so there is no need for us to be so polite. "
Xia Tao was stunned. "Family? How did this come about? " He couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan. It seemed that they were related to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan glanced at them. There were outsiders, so he shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "It's a long story. If Uncle Xia is free, why don't you come with us to the Lu Mansion for a chat?"
Based on his relationship with Xia Chenxi, Xia Tao was his father-in-law, so he could not hide his new identity from him. However, Lu Xuan was still cautious. Although there were only a few guards of Xia Tao, he did not reveal it easily.
Xia Tao also seemed to have noticed it. He smiled and said, "That's good. The affairs of the City Lord's Mansion are quite free, so I will go to the Lu Mansion to visit."
The group left the City Lord's Residence in a grandiose manner, heading towards the Lu Residence not far away. Lu Xuan asked as he walked, "Uncle Xia, how has my father been lately?"
Xia Tao laughed and said, "It's not just good, it's like a second spring. In the past year, your father suddenly became obsessed with martial arts. He handed over all his businesses to the Lin family and some stewards to manage and focused on studying swordsmanship. A month ago, when I sparred with him, I didn't see how sharp his sword was, but he easily defeated me. In my opinion, your father's current strength has probably reached the middle stage of the Spirit Refinement realm, and he has already surpassed me."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be shocked. Before he left last time, apart from leaving a lot of pills, he only passed the Tai Chi Sword Will to Lu Yu. Could it be that Lu Yu's strength had improved so much in just a year?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan thought to himself. His sister Lu Qiong's cultivation speed was not slow, which showed that she was very talented. If that was the case, then Lu Yu's cultivation talent was probably not inferior to hers. It was just that because the Lu Family had declined, his father did not have enough resources to cultivate when he was young.
The Tai Chi Sword Will that he passed on to Lu Xuan was very mysterious. It was almost a combination of cultivation methods, martial skills, and concepts. If one studied it carefully, it would have the effect of rejuvenating one's youth. It was probably because of this that Lu Yu's strength had improved by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time.
As they spoke, they arrived at the Lu Mansion. The Lu Mansion seemed to have been renovated again. Compared to a year ago, when Lu Xuan returned, it looked even more imposing. The two majestic stone lions at the entrance were even more extraordinary. Ordinary people were not allowed to place stone lions in front of their mansions, but the two stone lions at the Lu Mansion were bestowed by the Tianwu Empire's emperor. Although they were not very threatening to those in the world of cultivation, for those in the secular world, they were a symbol of extreme glory.
Lu Xuan and Lu Qiong walked forward together. The door opened quickly, and the gatekeeper was still the familiar Second Blessing.
At the sight of Lu Xuan and Lu Qiong, Second Blessing immediately showed a look of extreme surprise. "Young Master, Young Lady, it's you. That's great, that's great. Come on, come on in."
Second Blessing was so excited that he spoke incoherently, "Master has always missed you. He often talks about you to himself. He will be very happy to know that you are back together."
Lu Xuan said with a smile, "Second Blessing, where's Father? Where is he? "
"Master is now practicing swordsmanship in the backyard. Young Master and Young Lady, please take a seat with the guests. I'll go and call Master now."
At this moment, Ye Wuheng said, "Hey, Xuan 'er, we're here to thank Brother Lu. Let's not disturb him. We'll go directly to the backyard. Haha, we can also observe Brother Lu's swordsmanship."
