Lu Yao, initially shaken by the death of Zhou Yujing and her two companions, was swiftly overwhelmed by the magnificent mountains and rivers of East Chen State.
From high above, overlooking the earth, the landscape seemed to fly backward, and she instantly forgot the recent upheaval.
Carefully, she stood up on the clouds, spread her arms to embrace the Gale head-on, feeling instantly refreshed.
"She deserved her fate for trying to harm me and Lu Xiao!"
Lu Yao felt relieved, captivated by layers of auspicious clouds and the beautiful landscapes. She first tried standing, noticing the clouds beneath her feet moving swiftly yet steadily. Emboldened, she tried walking; it felt like stepping on cotton, yet also like walking on flat ground, surrounded by clouds with no fear of falling.
Lu Yao patted her chest and instantly felt joyful. She started hopping left and right, lively and spirited.
She jogged over to Lu Xiao, pulled him up, and said loudly, "Stop thinking about it. Zhou Yujing and her teacher, along with her senior brother, were all wicked people. Dad killed them to save many innocent people. If you feel sad for Zhou Yujing, why don't you think about if we had been caught by her, and her teacher used us for practicing evil sorcery, how heartbroken our parents would be?"
Lu Xiao pursed his lips.
His face pale, he forced a smile at Lu Yao, stood up on the clouds, and looked down to see countless cloud layers and picturesque mountains and rivers below, immediately making his legs go weak, causing him to fall back onto the clouds.
"You think you can Cultivate?"
Lu Yao burst into laughter, holding her belly and stomping on the clouds, mocking him without restraint.
Lu Xiao's face turned slightly embarrassed.
Still not daring to stand, he sat on the clouds, looked up, and slowly shuffled over to Lu Qingfeng.
Seeing Lu Xiao's odd behavior, Lu Yao laughed even harder.
Ao Le, seeing this, couldn't help but cover her mouth with laughter.
Her son was indeed much more straightforward and timid compared to her daughter.
Lu Qingfeng, too, was amused by the sight and looked at Lu Xiao, "I just killed your childhood friend; are you here to sever ties with your father?"
"Always teasing him!"
Ao Le chided, then walked over to Lu Xiao's side.
her appearance transformed from that of an ordinary woman in her thirties to her true celestial form. Her attire also changed instantly from that of a mortal woman to an Immortal Fairy.
Her aura was remarkably different.
Lu Xiao stared, dumbfounded.
Lu Yao, beside him, also widened her eyes.
"This is your mother's true appearance."
Seeing her children's shocked faces, Ao Le couldn't help but laugh. At a glance, Lu Xiao and Lu Yao bore a striking resemblance to her in their eyes.
Lu Qingfeng also removed his Blinding Technique,
transforming into a handsome young man, appearing no older than twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and even eighteen or nineteen would be believable. He had an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
Standing together with Ao Le,
they indeed looked like a fitting couple from the Immortal realms.
"Dad looks so young!"
Lu Yao exclaimed loudly, running to Lu Qingfeng to look at him more closely, amazed.
After Lu Yao had enthusiastically expressed her surprise,
Lu Xiao finally calmed down.
"I know, dad wants the best for me."
He sat next to Lu Qingfeng, supporting himself with his hands behind him, his face tense, fearful of falling. Looking up at his unbelievably young father, he hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Lu Qingfeng spoke up.
Lu Xiao quickly said, "Zhang Kui went to seek Immortals at Yangshui Immortal Mountain, and I'm worried he might be snatched away by wild beasts on the way. Dad, as an Immortal, can you take Zhang Kui as a disciple? That way, he won't die, and with your guidance, even if he becomes an Immortal, he surely won't go astray."
the City God of Scripture Country and the Nine Yang Mountain God both fear his father profoundly.
Yangshui Immortal Mountain is just one of the eight branches of the Nine Yang Mountain Range, and the Immortals there surely are no match for the Nine Yang Mountain God. The Nine Yang Mountain God behaves like a mouse before his father.
Comparing this way, his father must be an exceedingly powerful Immortal. If he accepts a disciple, Zhang Kui wouldn't need to risk his life seeking a master at Yangshui Immortal Mountain.
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, "I really have no interest in teaching him."
It wasn't a false statement.
He was soon to leave Lu Xiao and Lu Yao in the care of Ao Jun. He wouldn't even have time to instruct his own children in Cultivation, let alone a disciple.
Lu Xiao immediately displayed a look of disappointment.
Seeing his son's disheartened look, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Your cousin's skills are quite decent, it doesn't matter if he takes one sheep or two, let Zhang Kui take him as a master."
Lu Xiao was stunned, before he could speak, Lu Yao ran over, curiously asking, "Is Cousin Jun also an Immortal like mom and dad?"
Ao Jun's Tianshu Mansion was located in East Chen State.
Every year, he always came to Qing City to visit his uncle, aunt, and had a good relationship with Lu Xiao and Lu Yao. However, they only knew that their cousin didn't live in Scripture Country and was far from Qing City, but they didn't know that Ao Jun was also an Immortal.
"He's not quite as good as your dad."
"But your mom can't compare to him."
Ao Le laughed beside them.
Listening, Lu Yao became even more curious, quickly hugging her mother's arm and coaxed, "Mom, please tell me more about what dad really is, what's this Investigation Divine Bureau and the Investigation God Monarch? The two legendary gods from Scripture Country are terribly afraid of him. Is dad an Immortal King experiencing tribulations, or a reincarnated Divine King? Could it be mom is one of the Seven Fairies who eloped with dad?
"And for cousin, isn't cousin a general from the neighboring country? How is he now an Immortal?"
Having lived for twenty years.
To suddenly discover, her parents were actually Immortals.
