Lu Yu's horizons were no longer limited to the mundane world. Ever since Lu Xuan's strength had reached a certain level, Lu Yu had often inquired about the world of cultivation. With the bits and pieces of information he had gathered from Lu Xuan, he naturally knew what the Jiuhua Alliance represented.
In the vast northern region of the Celestial Sword Continent, the Jiuhua Alliance was the supreme power. The leader of the Jiuhua Alliance was the leader of this power, and his word was law!
However, Lu Yu had never imagined that one day he would be so close to the most powerful person in the Celestial Sword Continent! Lu Xuan was the son of the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance!
If that was the case, then the people who had hunted Lu Xuan back then must have been enemies of the Jiuhua Alliance. Perhaps even another fifth-rank sect. Lu Yu could not help but break into a cold sweat at the thought. If he had known that things would have turned out this way, he did not know if he would have had the courage to save Lu Xuan all those years ago. One was a top-notch force in the world of cultivators, while the other was just a tiny, run-down clan in the secular world. The two were not on the same level at all, yet they had such a miraculous connection.
"Ye … Leader Ye, I didn't expect you to come in person. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you," Lu Yu said, trying to remain calm. He had to admit that Ye Wuheng's power was a great shock to him. But Ye Wuheng cupped his hands at Lu Yu and said seriously, "Brother Lu, you don't have to be like this.
"Brother Lu, there's no need for that. I don't want to hide my identity because I treat you all as a family. I have no intention of concealing my identity. To outsiders, I am the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance, but to my family, I am just Xuan 'er's father. Brother Lu, Brother Xia, you and I can call each other brothers. There's no need to call me leader or whatever."
At that moment, Lu Xuan also smiled and said, "That's right, Father. You are my biological father, and you gave me the opportunity to come to this world. You are the father who raised me, and you gave me the opportunity to live. To me, the two of you are one of the closest people to me.
Lu Yu smiled wryly. "I didn't expect you to have such a powerful background, Xuan 'er. I thought you were just a disciple of some great family in the world of cultivation. I didn't expect you to be a direct descendant of the Ye family of the Jiuhua Alliance."
Ye Wuhen laughed. "It's not bad to call it a great family in the world of cultivation. Our Ye family is indeed a great family. To tell you the truth, Brother Lu, I only have one child in my family, Xuan 'er. If all goes well, when Xuan' er grows up, I will pass on my position to him. At that time, he will be the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance."
Hearing this, Lu Yu was even more moved. Lu Xuan was the only child and the only successor of the Jiuhua Alliance. This meant that Lu Xuan was very important to Ye Wuheng.
He sighed softly and said to Lu Xuan, "Xuan 'er, you said that even if you found your biological parents, you would keep the surname Lu. I know your feelings for them. However, now that you are the only heir of the Ye family, I am more in favor of you resuming the surname Ye. In this way, it will be more justifiable for you to inherit the position of the leader in the future."
Ye Wuhen looked at Lu Xuan and said nothing. Although he didn't object to Lu Xuan's request to change his surname to Ye, it would be best if Lu Xuan was willing to change his surname to Ye.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't want to inherit the position of the leader. To tell you the truth, I have a greater mission on my shoulders. One day, I may leave the Sky Sword Continent. Therefore, the inheritance of the Ye family may have to be passed on to my next generation. At that time, the surname Ye will be his."
Ye Wuhen frowned slightly and said, "Xuan 'er, it seems that this is not the first time you have mentioned this. Can you explain it more clearly?"
"This is a very important matter, and it's a long story. I will tell you in detail later, father," said Lu Xuan.
Ye Wuhen nodded and said, "You've grown up. It's good that you have your own ideas."
Then he smiled and said, "Well, in fact, I don't care too much about Xuan 'er's surname. For me, it is already a great gift from God to be able to reunite with Xuan' er. I dare not ask for too much. Brother Lu, it is enough for us to know that Xuan 'er is our son."
Lu Yu admired Ye Wuhen's open-mindedness. No wonder she was the leader of the Jiuhua Alliance. Her breadth of mind was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Then, Ye Wuhen's tone changed, and she said, "Brother Lu, I just saw your swordsmanship. It is unique. Given time, it is not impossible for you to become a Grandmaster. If Brother Lu is interested in martial arts, why don't you come back to the Jiuhua Alliance with us? All the cultivation resources that the Jiuhua Alliance can get will be at your disposal."
This was a generous gift. As long as Lu Yu nodded, he would be able to enjoy most of the cultivation resources in the Jiuhua Alliance. With this kind of training, it would not be difficult for Lu Yu to forcibly push himself to the Taixu Realm. Even Xia Tao could not help but feel a trace of envy. Every warrior yearned for endless cultivation resources. Just look at how many warriors in the world of cultivation risked their lives for a few treasures.
However, Lu Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, I appreciate your kindness. But based on my understanding of the Sword Will of Tai Chi, it would be difficult for me to make progress if I try too hard. On the contrary, I have made great progress in the secular world without trying too hard. In just a year, I have made great progress."
Lu Yu's refusal was within Ye Wuhen's expectations. If Lu Yu was the kind of person who only cared about money and benefits, he would not have risked his life to save Lu Xuan, nor would he have raised a child like Lu Xuan.
"Since Brother Lu has made up your mind, that is fine. On my way here, I have informed the leader of the Xuan Bing Pavilion. He will take good care of this place. If Brother Lu needs anything, you can contact him." Ye Wuhen nodded.
Xia Tao and Lu Yu were speechless. This was how the leader of the Alliance of Jiuhua did things. For people in the secular world, the Wind Sword School was already a great existence. But Ye Wuhen did not even pay attention to the Wind Sword School. She directly informed the Xuan Bing Pavilion. And Lu Xuan finally knew why Ye Wuhen and Zhao Ying had gone to see Wen Zhiyuan.
Zhao Ying, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and said, "Since Mr. Lu does not want to go to the Alliance of Jiuhua, there must be a shortage of cultivation resources in Lin City. This time, my husband and I have specially prepared a small gift for you. Mr. Lu, please don't refuse it. Consider it a gift from us."
Zhao Ying and Xia Tao were very thoughtful. If Lu Yu was willing to go to the Alliance of Jiuhua, that would be the best. If not, they had prepared a gift for him. Although it was a small gift, it was actually priceless.
"How can I accept it?" Lu Yu hurriedly waved his hand.
But Ye Wuhen said, "Brother Lu, if you continue to refuse, you will look down on me. We really can't repay your great kindness. Just consider it a chance for us to repay your kindness."
At this moment, Lu Xuan tried to persuade him from the side, "Father, just accept it. Even if I didn't prepare it for you, I would have prepared it for you. We are all family, so just take it and use it as your own."
Lu Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had no choice but to accept the Storage Ring that Lu Xuan handed to him from Zhao Ying.
"Brother Lu, you have just started cultivating. You have missed the best period of cultivation. Although the swordsmanship that you cultivate seems to be a little special, and age does not affect it much, it will more or less affect it. There are some elixirs that can cleanse the marrows. Although they cannot completely return you to the best state of cultivation, they can make up for most of the deficiencies," Ye Wuhen introduced.
"In addition, there are some Primordial Stones and elixirs that can also play a supporting role. There are also some martial arts techniques. Although Brother Lu, you are going to focus on this set of Taiji swordsmanship, it is still good to use them to complement each other. Who knows, you might be able to comprehend by analogy and improve further."
Ye Wuhen introduced all kinds of things to Lu Yu. Although he did not mention a single word about the grades of the elixirs or the levels of the martial arts techniques, he did not need to think to know that they were not ordinary.
While the few of them were talking, Lu Xuan also introduced Ye Xuanxuan to Lu Yu. Lu Yu knew everyone else, but it was Ye Xuanxuan's first time coming to the Lu Mansion.
Hearing that Ye Xuanxuan was Lu Xuan's cousin, Lu Yu was naturally very enthusiastic. The bloodline of the Ye Clan in this generation was very thin. Ye Wuhen only had one son, Lu Xuan, and Ye Haoran only had one daughter, Ye Xuanxuan.
Lu Yu naturally did not have a precious gift like Ye Wuhen, but he did give Ye Xuanxuan a very exquisite jade bracelet. This was not a treasured weapon, but purely an ornament. Now that the Lu Mansion was considered to be rich and powerful, and in addition to having connections with various parties, there were still many treasures in the secular world.
Ye Xuanxuan naturally accepted it happily. Since she was young, she did not lack anything. What she fancied was this friendship. Moreover, the bracelet given by Lu Yu was indeed very beautiful. For a girl, a beautiful ordinary bracelet might not necessarily be worse than an ugly treasured weapon.
As the prospective father-in-law of Lu Xuan, the prospective in-laws of the Ye Clan, Ye Wuhen naturally would not neglect Xia Tao. He also gave a gift. Although it was not as precious as the one given to Lu Yu, for Xia Tao, it was still an extremely precious thing.
After talking for a while, Lu Xuan suggested that they go to the Lin Mansion. Xia Tao was the prospective father-in-law, and Lin Hongzhi also had the same status. Naturally, they had to be treated equally.
With regards to Lu Xuan's suggestion, Ye Wuhen gladly agreed. She enjoyed this kind of thing very much. Only when she had a son, could she have the opportunity to meet her in-laws openly. For the past 20 years, every time she thought of Lu Xuan, she would feel deeply regretful. Now, she had the opportunity to make up for it.
Xia Tao also followed her happily. He did not have any other purpose. He just wanted to see how Lin Hongzhi would deal with it. When he found out about Ye Wuhen's identity, he was a little embarrassed. Hehe, now he naturally wanted to see Lin Hongzhi embarrassed. Gloating was undoubtedly the most refreshing thing.
