Chapter 342 - 155: My Son Ping’an Has the Talent of a Martial Saint!_2
Some are born with unusual phenomena, some are almost the same as the Spiritual Root.
There are also those who only awaken their Spiritual Body in their forties or even require some sort of opportunity.
If one were to say that the awakening of the Spiritual Body at the age of seven caused scales to grow, that still makes sense.
But Lu Changsheng had also read quite a bit about the Spiritual Body in various books.
As for Bai Ling’s situation, it was simply unheard of.
“The Cultivation World is vast and wondrous.”
“Not only can she charm me, but she can also conceal her own Spiritual Root, which is definitely not simple.”
Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it too much, deciding to keep her with him for now.
He would teach her cultivation later.
After eating quite a bit, Lu Changsheng noticed that Bai Ling had quite the appetite, even larger than that of an average adult.
At that moment, Bai Ling also realized that Lu Changsheng had hardly eaten anything.
While she nibbled away, she never stopped, and the table was piled with leftovers, making her small face blush with shame.
“Immortal, the girl’s appetite is a bit bigger than the average person’s.”
“Unfortunately, following this old woman, she has never been able to eat her fill.”
Old Lady Zhao spoke up.
“No worries, having a good appetite is a blessing. Ling’er, eat more, if it’s not enough, order more.”
Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said with a smile to Bai Ling.
The little girl was in her growth phase, and being able to eat more was definitely a good thing.
Then he turned to Old Lady Zhao and said, “Old Lady Zhao, you don’t need to call me ‘Immortal’ anymore; simply address me as ‘master’ from now on.”
When they entered the city earlier, Lu Changsheng had noticed that Bai Ling severely lacked a sense of security and was somewhat socially anxious.
When the glances of passersby landed on her, her delicate body would tremble slightly, displaying fear.
Lu Changsheng guessed that this was an aftereffect of her previous life in the village.
He also planned to continue to have Old Lady Zhao take care of her, keeping their shared life.
Once Bai Ling’s situation improved, he would consider bringing her to the Lu Residence.
“Yes, master.”
Old Lady Zhao quickly nodded in response.
After a full night’s rest with plenty to eat and drink, Lu Changsheng prepared food for their journey and resumed his travels towards Ruyi County City in his Flying Boat.
Four days later, the Spirit Boat stopped outside of Ruyi County City.
Lu Changsheng took Bai Ling and Old Lady Zhao down from the Spirit Boat.
“Is my brother’s house here?”
Bai Ling asked timidly upon seeing the grand and imposing city ahead.
“Yes, Ling’er, from now on, you and Old Lady Zhao will live here temporarily.”
Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, taking out a Transmission Talisman to contact Hong Yi.
One reason was to ask Hong Yi for assistance with arrangements.
Also, he hadn’t seen him for a long time and wanted to catch up.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, his body surged with a white light, and he reverted to his true appearance.
Before this, Lu Changsheng had always been using a disguised appearance.
Even during their rest along the journey, he had not reverted back to his real face.
“Brother.”
Bai Ling, upon seeing Lu Changsheng’s true face, opened her mouth in an O shape, totally astonished.
Old Lady Zhao was also surprised, thinking to herself that indeed he was a True Immortal; she had never seen such a handsome person before.
“Brother usually conceals his appearance as well.”
Lu Changsheng said with a light chuckle, and then took Bai Ling’s small hand and walked towards Ruyi County City.
“Brother is so handsome,” Bai Ling said softly, tilting her head up slightly as she was led by the hand, a blush spreading on her face.
Ruyi Prefecture was bustling with life, people coming and going on the streets, never-ending.
However, Lu Changsheng had used his mana to conceal his aura, reducing his presence.
But even so, with his handsome face, upright stature, and elegant and uncommon demeanor, many women on the street couldn’t help but stop and gaze at him longingly.
Walking through the city, Bai Ling looked around at the busy crowd and couldn’t help but feel nervous, clutching Lu Changsheng’s hand tightly.
It wasn’t long before Hong Yi arrived swiftly.
“Brother Lu, who is this?”
Hong Yi, looking at Bai Ling whom Lu Changsheng was holding hands with, was somewhat astounded.
He was already used to Lu Changsheng bringing along ladies, but her age and appearance didn’t seem to fit the role of a daughter.
And to say concubine, she seemed too young.
“Heh, this is a sister I recognized, named Bai Ling. I plan to have her temporarily stay here and will need Brother Hong’s help in looking after her,” Lu Changsheng said, briefly explaining the situation of Bai Ling and Old Lady Zhao.
“I see,” Hong Yi replied after listening, not asking further.
Not far from the Lu Residence, he arranged a quiet courtyard for Old Lady Zhao and Bai Ling.
He also arranged for a maid and an old woman to serve the two.
“Brother Lu, have you just come back from traveling?” Hong Yi asked Lu Changsheng after settling the two in.
“Hmm, how did you know, Brother Hong?” Lu Changsheng asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Five months ago, Brother Li returned for a visit.”
“Seeing you didn’t come over, and since I had some free time, I went with Brother Li to the Red Maple Marketplace, but Miss Lu said you were out traveling,” Hong Yi said.
“Feiyu came back?”
“Where is he now, in the Red Maple Marketplace, or did he leave?” Lu Changsheng asked, pausing at Hong Yi’s words.
It had been five months since he and Xiao Xiyue left the Red Maple Marketplace.
He didn’t expect Li Feiyu to have returned right during that time.
“Brother Li came back this time to say farewell before heading to the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, so he left after waiting a month,” Hong Yi said with a sigh, feeling a sense of reverence.
He revered Li Feiyu’s actions after realizing the reality that he didn’t pass the selection for the Immortal Sects.
He had given up unrealistic dreams of cultivation, intending only to inherit his father’s title as the Marquis of Ruyi and to break through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage in his lifetime.
As for Li Feiyu, after spending so many years in the Cultivation World without success, he still had full determination.
Now he was even setting out to make his way in the Azure Phoenix Immortal City, a holy place for Loose Cultivators, which left Hong Yi feeling wistful.
