Inside the palace, Yun Wanshang heard Lu Changsheng’s reply and was somewhat astonished.
She knew very well the situation of her disciple, Xiao Xiyue.
Setting a fifty-year time limit was merely a hope that Xiao Xiyue could leverage these feelings to overcome the emotional barrier.
As for Lu Changsheng, she didn’t have any expectations at all.
But Lu Changsheng’s actions had caught her off guard.
If Xiao Xiyue couldn’t make a breakthrough in Core Formation within fifty years, he had offered to come and confess his guilt.
Had it not been for his swine-like behavior, she would have been quite satisfied with this sense of responsibility.
After all, as a Nascent Soul Immortal, with sharp spiritual sense, she could tell that Lu Changsheng was truly sincere with his words, and they were not a sham.
Yun Wanshang’s face was stunningly beautiful, her eyes like water, noble and frosty, she glanced subconsciously at Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level situation.
“Hmm!? Still at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage? No advancement in body refinement either?”
Caiyun True Immortal’s eyebrows furrowed.
Over ten years ago, Lu Changsheng had already reached the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivation level.
Furthermore, he practiced Magical Dual Cultivation, ranking even higher than Xiao Xiyue.
Now more than ten years had passed, and he hadn’t advanced at all?
“Could it be that after establishing a family, he became engrossed in the pleasures of the flesh?”
Yun Wanshang immediately speculated that Lu Changsheng, after establishing a stable life with his family, had become lax in his cultivation, indulging in pleasures and neglecting his duties.
After all, she was aware of many such incidents.
Many Loose Cultivators, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, would feel content with life and abandon their path halfway, losing themselves in enjoyment.
Suddenly, she felt a surge of frustration, like the helpless anger of finding iron but being unable to forge steel!
She believed that Lu Changsheng, who clearly had fortuitous opportunities and a top-tier physique, did not know how to cherish them, indulging in pleasures and wasting his potential.
Although she believed she had no ties or relations with Lu Changsheng, and that it was none of her concern,
for some reason, she felt irritated.
“Even if we have no ties, you have received my Spirit-nurturing Energy!”
“You can be useless, but I, Yun Wanshang, will absolutely not allow someone who received my Spirit-nurturing Energy to be someone who only knows how to indulge in pleasures and waste their life.”
Yun Wanshang’s delicate, jade-like hands clenched tightly, her eyes flashing with an indescribable chill.
She then coldly addressed Lu Changsheng, who was outside the grand hall, “If your cultivation progresses too slowly and hampers Xi Yue, I will still eliminate you!”
“???”
Outside the grand hall, Lu Changsheng was startled and somewhat bewildered.
Hadn’t Xi Yue said her master was quite reasonable?
Why so domineering!
If Xiao Xiyue couldn’t break through Core Formation in fifty years, she would eliminate him.
If his own cultivation was slow and he hindered Xiao Xiyue, she would also eliminate him?
Indeed, the disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal was not so easily married.
Luckily, he had backups and was not worried at all.
Facing the invisible pressure, he stood tall, bowed, and said, “Please rest assured, True Immortal, I will definitely not hamper Xi Yue, and we will both strive for Core Formation within fifty years!”
“But, I also have a request, if Xi Yue and I both successfully break through to Core Formation, I hope you will give us your blessings.”
Lu Changsheng spoke with neither humility nor arrogance.
Although he was confident that after Core Formation, he would not fear Caiyun True Immortal, and she couldn’t stop him,
she was, after all, Xiao Xiyue’s master, an elder, and still deserved his respect.
Moreover, there was an old saying, “A love without the blessings of elders is ultimately imperfect.”
For the sake of Xiao Xiyue, he also hoped to receive the recognition, approval, and blessings of this Caiyun True Immortal.
“Hmm!?”
Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes were piercing, her brows slightly furrowed, wondering where Lu Changsheng got the confidence to boldly claim that he and Xiao Xiyue could both challenge Core Formation within fifty years.
Although his cultivation used to be faster than Xiao Xiyue in his early years,
once Xiao Xiyue overcame the emotional trial of the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, she could quickly obtain Core Formation Spiritual Objects and Coagulation Crystal Elixir through Qingyun Sect.
As a Clan Cultivator, he would definitely not be able to get the Coagulation Crystal Elixir!
At most, he would spend a great price to collect one or two Core Formation Spiritual Objects.
This is why the cultivation path of Loose Cultivators is difficult!
Everything can only be relied upon oneself.
During the Qi-Training stage, scurrying about for a Foundation Establishment Elixir, Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects.
During Foundation Establishment stage, scurrying about for a Coagulation Crystal Elixir, Core Formation Spiritual Objects!
Many Loose Cultivators might busy themselves their entire lives and end up with nothing, or even worse, with their lives and souls scattered, bones buried in the wilderness.
However, since Lu Changsheng said so, she no longer said anything more and coldly replied with a clear, indifferent voice, “If you can achieve Core Formation within fifty years, I will no longer meddle in the matter between you and Xi Yue.”
“And if Xi Yue is willing, I may even personally conduct the Dao Companion ceremony for you both!”
“But if you fail, don’t blame me for being heartless!”
Yun Wanshang’s gorgeous face was expressionless, her voice clear and moving as it carried the authority unique to those above.
Xiao Xiyue wants to break through the Third Layer of Supreme Forgetfulness. She must overcome the emotional obstacles.
Once she overcomes the emotional obstacles, even if she doesn’t forget Lu Changsheng, she would be able to view this relationship calmly.
At that time, it’s highly likely the two would not be able to continue their romance.
If they indeed rekindle their past relationship, but both have broken through to Core Formation, she as a master wouldn’t interfere anymore.
After all, at this stage in cultivation, one does not need others to meddle in their path.
“Thank you, True Immortal!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately bowed in thanks towards the grand hall.
He thought to himself that although she was somewhat overbearing, she was still a reasonable person.
There was no response from within the grand hall.
“Changsheng.”
Xiao Xiyue looked at the quiet grand hall, turned her beautiful head towards Lu Changsheng, and felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
She believed that Lu Changsheng had the potential to break through to Core Formation within fifty years, but she was not certain about herself.
“Rest assured, I have everything under control,” said Lu Changsheng as he held Xiao Xiyue’s fair hand, his expression gentle and voice soft.
