Chapter 546: Chapter 217: A Stroke of Luck and a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough Outside!_1
Yan Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
She was usually lazy and uninterested in managing affairs, not even taking a single disciple.
If it hadn’t been for the fated opportunity this time…
Seeing that Lu Qingshan possessed the Gengjin Body Constitution, perfectly suitable to inherit her lineage’s cultivation technique, she really didn’t want to take on disciples.
At this point, accepting one disciple and having to include another was something she was reluctant to do in her heart.
Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Qingshan, who wanted to bring his daughter, Lu Qingzhu, and felt deeply moved.
If her daughter could become an apprentice to a Nascent Soul Immortal, perhaps she might have a chance at reaching Foundation Establishment in the future.
But she knew that the matter of a Nascent Soul Immortal taking disciples was not one to be taken lightly.
She immediately expressed her apologies to the woman in the red dress, “Senior, Qingshan doesn’t understand, please forgive his ignorance, Immortal.”
Yan Yuan looked at the youth in front of her, lips pursed, leading his sister by the hand.
She could see a bit of stubbornness between his brows.
She knew that if she only took the youth before her as a disciple, he would likely not be willing.
“Forget it, taking one is the same as taking two.”
“There’s only me on Tian Yuan Peak, it’s very quiet; having the siblings together would be just right for companionship, looking out for each other.”
She thought to herself.
Then, turning to Lu Qingzhu, she asked, “Would you like to follow your brother and take me as your master?”
Lu Qingzhu was taken aback by the fact that the Nascent Soul Immortal before her actually wanted to take her as a disciple.
She looked at her mother and then at her brother, Lu Qingshan.
Seeing both of them nod towards her, indicating her to agree, she then obediently said, “Senior, I am willing.”
“Disciple Lu Qingshan greets Master!”
Lu Qingshan immediately showed a happy smile and, taking his sister by the hand, loudly performed the greeting.
Although he wanted to ask if it would be possible to take his brother, Lu Qingsong, as well, he knew that was unlikely given the circumstances.
Lu Qingzhu, watching her brother, also performed the greeting obediently, with a clear and child-like voice, “Disciple Lu Qingzhu greets Master.”
“Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingzhu.”
“Alright, from now on, you are my disciples, Yan Yuan’s disciples.”
Yan Yuan nodded her head upon hearing their names, lightly raised her hand, and let the two stand up.
She then turned to Lu Miaoge and said, “I happened to be visiting Jiang Country this time, and I will be returning soon.”
“Jinyang Sect is far from Jiang Country, but once the siblings make their breakthroughs in Foundation Establishment, I will allow them to return and visit their family.”
“This is my token; if you ever have any difficulty, you can come to the Jinyang Sect with this token to find me.”
Yan Yuan took out a token and spoke to Lu Miaoge.
Now that she had taken someone’s children as disciples,
she naturally couldn’t just take them away without giving any reassurance.
She had to offer some promises.
In fact, seeing Lu Miaoge with so many children, she had already guessed that the woman might be facing some issues.
However, her innate laziness often kept her from interfering too much in others’ affairs.
Hence, she only offered the promise for Foundation Establishment and the token.
If Lu Miaoge ran into difficulties in the future and sought her out at Jinyang Sect, she would help if it was convenient.
If not, she would rather not worry about it.
Lu Miaoge, hearing these words, accepted the token with a respectful bow.
She then instructed Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu to heed their master’s instructions and to cultivate diligently.
Lu Qingzhu felt the impending separation, and her big, watery eyes suddenly turned red, brimming with tears, her face filled with reluctance.
“Aunt, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of my sister!”
Lu Qingshan, although feeling sad inside, was comparatively more composed.
He considered this journey an opportunity for cultivation.
Holding his sister’s hand, he earnestly said to Lu Miaoge.
“Yes, my Qingshan understands things best.”
Lu Miaoge stroked Lu Qingshan’s head, hugged the two of them, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Knowing that once her children went to Jinyang Sect, it might be decades before she saw them again.
But for the sake of her children’s future prospects, she could only keep her reluctance hidden in her heart.
“Alright, Qingshan, little Zhu’er, you must listen to your master and cultivate well.”
“When possible… your father and I will come to visit you.”
Lu Miaoge repeated her instructions.
But even she didn’t have much confidence in her latter words.
The journey from Qingzhu Mountain to Jinyang Sect in Yue Country was very distant.
If she couldn’t become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the journey would be fraught with danger.
She might only be able to wait for her children to reach Foundation Establishment and return home many decades later.
“Aunt, please tell my mother not to worry about me, I will come back after succeeding in my cultivation.”
“You tell Grandfather that I will surely become a Foundation Building Great Cultivator, a peerless Sword Immortal!”
“Oh, and when my father returns home, tell him that I’ve been taking good care of the Jintu Potato.”
“If you and father come to visit Zhu’er and me, remember to bring Jintu along.”
Lu Qingshan lightened the mood as he could see his aunt was also very reluctant; he smirked as he spoke.
“Alright, I will convey these words to your mother, grandfather, and father.”
“You focus on cultivating with your master, and when you become a peerless Sword Immortal, your aunt, father, mother, and grandfather will all be happy and proud of you.”
Lu Miaoge forced a gentle smile on her face and softly tousled her son’s hair.
Then she turned to Yan Yuan and bowed, “In the future, I will trouble Immortal to care for Qingshan and Qingzhu!”
“That is only natural.”
Yan Yuan observed the farewell scene with an indifferent expression and nodded slightly.
She then raised her hand, allowing Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingzhu to land on her huge gourd.
“Since that’s settled, I will take my leave.”
“If you wish to visit Jinyang Sect in the future, you may use my token to contact the Jinyang Commerce Guild.”
“The Jinyang Commerce Guild has business dealings with Jiang Country, and when the time comes, you can take the Spiritual Vessel of Jinyang Sect to travel to Yue Country.”
