Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Qu Zhenzhen had four children, and even the youngest was already six years old.

This made Lu Changsheng marvel at how quickly time passed.

He still vividly remembered making that three-year pledge and on the way back, bringing Qu Zhenzhen home from the dilapidated temple to Qingzhu Mountain.

The two little ones then prattled on to Lu Changsheng with their chirping voices.

Following Lu Changsheng’s emergence from seclusion, his other wives and concubines came to visit one after another with their congratulations, delighted at Lu Changsheng’s breakthrough to the Energy Refinement Late Stage.

After reuniting with his wives and family, Lu Miaoyun informed Lu Changsheng that the Lu Family clan assembly had already concluded.

Because he was in seclusion, they did not disturb him.

This year’s clan assembly marked the completion of a generational handover within the Lu Family.

Lu Miaochang assumed the role of the new Family Head, while Lu Yuanding became a Family Elder, responsible for the family finances and assisting the new Family Head in managing the family.

Lu Miaoge also became an Executor of the family, a candidate in the next generation of elders.

Lu Changsheng’s position as Family Elder was also made official.

However, due to his generation and age, he was placed at the end of the line, as the ninth elder.

Upon becoming an elder, besides the title, the family benefits and treatment also correspondingly improved.

For the specific obligations of an elder, Lu Changsheng needed to speak with the new Family Head, Lu Miaochang.

“Ninth Elder.”

Hearing this ranking, Lu Changsheng smirked with a smile, his thoughts inadvertently turning to the elders ranked by bags.

“Husband, the Transmission Talisman you gave me also brought news last month…”

Lu Miaoyun conveyed that a woman had come looking for Lu Changsheng last month.

After chatting with her for a while and learning that Lu Changsheng was in seclusion, the woman then left for the Red Leaf Valley Market.

“Yun’er, thank you for your hard work.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded, understanding that it was Xiao Xiyue who had visited.

But he had a pile of matters at hand and wasn’t in a rush to go to the Red Leaf Valley Market just yet.

First, he sought out Lu Miaochang to confirm the specifics involved with these so-called elder duties.

Lu Miaochang told Lu Changsheng that the main duties revolved around Talisman affairs.

Then there was cultivating Talisman Path apprentices, overseeing the profits and losses of the Talisman Shops in the various marketplaces, along with some other trifles.

After hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately refused to involve himself with the Talisman Shops, advising the Lu Family to find someone else to manage them.

He didn’t want to get too involved with the core interests of the Lu Family, nor did he have the spare time for it.

After all, he didn’t even have time to manage his own shops.

Once they roughly finished their discussion, Lu Changsheng informed Uncle Fu at Qingzhu Villa that he would be teaching in three days.

After taking care of all these matters, Lu Changsheng went back home to spend time with his wives, continuing with his grand endeavor of parenting.

…

In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.

During this half month, Lu Changsheng basically didn’t cultivate; he was focused on parenting.

As for how many more children he would have, that would require some time to determine.

“Hmm?”

One day, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a surge of pure spiritual power infusing into his own body.

“What is this?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised, unsure where this spiritual power came from.

It took a moment before he realized it was his son, Lu Xianzhi, who had made a breakthrough to the Second Level.

“But this bit of cultivation is like pouring a jug of water into a pond for me at the moment.”

Lu Changsheng lightly shook his head.

After briefly showing concern for his son, he told his wives that he needed to make a trip to the Red Leaf Valley Market.

Before heading to the marketplace, Lu Changsheng paid a visit to his father-in-law, Lu Yuanding.

It wasn’t that there was anything in particular; he simply wanted to take his daughter Lu Qingzhu to visit her mother.

Since Lu Miaoge spent most of her time in the Red Leaf Valley Market, the daughter was typically taken care of either by Lu Miaohuan or Lu Yuanding.

Recently, both Lu Qingzhu and Lu Qingshan had been taken there by Lu Yuanding.

“Father-in-law.”

Upon reaching Lu Yuanding’s residence, Lu Changsheng immediately saw him babysitting his grandchildren.

His son, Lu Qingshan, was energetically chasing a white goose with a small wooden sword.

His daughter, Lu Qingzhu, on the other hand, sat quietly in Lu Yuanding’s arms, watching Lu Qingshan chase the goose.

“Changsheng, you’ve come.”

Lu Yuanding, holding his little granddaughter, greeted Lu Changsheng with a beaming smile.

He used to be quite busy, but after relinquishing the position of Family Head, he gained some leisure time.

As for the Elder duties, they essentially depended on oneself.

If one were willing to delegate authority, it wouldn’t be too busy, so he also had the leisure to spend time with the children.

“Daddy, ha!”

The goose-chasing Lu Qingshan, upon spotting his father’s arrival, charged over with his little legs and a swing of his sword.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng reached out and caught his son by the nape and lifted the mischievous boy.

“Grandpa, grandpa save me!”

Lu Qingshan immediately called out for his grandfather’s help.

“Daddy.”

Lu Qingzhu, nestled in Lu Yuanding’s arms, stared at Lu Changsheng, as if she took a moment to recognize her father, causing him a twinge of shame.

After all, children of her age had a limited memory, and he hadn’t been around much.

“Father-in-law, I’m planning to go to the Red Leaf Valley Market, so I wanted to take Qingzhu to see Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng set his son down and explained his intentions.

“Alright, Changsheng, I know you’re busy now, but if you can, do try to spend more time with Miaoge and Huan’er,” Lu Yuanding said, nodding.

“Changsheng understands.”

After chatting with Lu Yuanding for a while, Lu Changsheng picked up his daughter.

Looking at her little chubby, pale, and tender face, he couldn’t help but give her two kisses and said, “Qingzhu, let’s go, we’re going to see your mother.”

Every time he saw his daughter’s little face, he couldn’t resist kissing her.

“Daddy, I also want to go see Auntie!”

Hearing this, his son Lu Qingshan also shouted loudly.

He was very fond of his aunt Lu Miaoge.

Because every time, she would buy him delicious treats and fun toys.

Lu Changsheng glanced at his son.

To be honest, he was rather reluctant to take this son out.
