But for so many years, she had never been subjected to such humiliation, nor experienced such frightening and precarious a life.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s alright, Daddy’s here.”
Lu Changsheng saw his daughter’s tear-stained face and felt a pang of heartache, voicing comfort.
He had always been soft-hearted, unable to bear seeing won in tears, especially when it was his own daughter.
Although he hadn’t paid much attention to his daughter, Lu Ruyi, in recent years, he had been very affectionate towards her in her early years.
After all, she was the third child of his to possess a Spiritual Root, following Lu Xianzhi and Lu Quanzhen.
...
After a mont, Lu Ruyi finally dried her tears and, with reddened eyes, said apologetically, “Daddy, I’m useless, I’ve made you worry.”
“It’s okay, as long as you are unhard.”
Lu Changsheng gently wiped the tears from his daughter’s eyes and asked gently, “Ruyi, what happened?”
His voice was calm and gentle, but a wave of anger was rising in his heart.
For so many years, it was the first ti he saw one of his children being bullied to such an extent.
If it weren’t for the Substitute Talisman he had given her, and the Blood Tracking Talisman, she would have already lost her life!
“It was White Tiger Mountain…”
Lu Ruyi spoke with a choked and aggrieved voice, recounting the incident.
She had previously noticed during the audit of the Wu Jing Mine Site that there were more miners than before but the output had not increased.
Furthermore, two direct lineage descendants of the Zhao Family had been consistently courting her, prompting her to be more cautious.
Then, using a Stealth Talisman, she sneaked into the mine to investigate.
The result was that she alerted the Zhao Family’s descendants, who had already set up a Formation that trapped her.
“At that ti, I forgot about the life-saving talisman you gave , and then…”
Lu Ruyi said in a quiet voice, her head bowed.
She knew that if she hadn’t acted so impulsively, and had either reported the matter to the Family or activated the Substitute Talisman imdiately, she could have escaped safely.
“It’s fine, let Daddy handle this matter.”
Lu Changsheng hugged his daughter and comforted her softly, without blaming her.
After all, it was impossible for all his children to be exceptionally talented.
Besides, the children at ho still lacked the tempering needed in crises and their responses to them.
But through his daughter’s words, he understood why the Zhao Family had moved against her.
Wealth seduces the heart!
Even a small Spirit Vein of a Spirit Stone mine could produce tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
For a Foundation Establishnt Family like the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones wasn’t a small sum.
Enough to drive them to take risks!
If it hadn’t been for the Substitute Talisman given to his children, which allowed him to find his daughter, he could only have suspected White Tiger Mountain at most.
Following the practices of Qingzhu Mountain in the past, in such a situation, if there was only suspicion without evidence, he would probably only be able to keep it in his heart and at most demand so compensation.
“My Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family is different from other families.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, murmuring to himself.
He lowered his head to look at his daughter and said softly, “Co on, let’s go ho first.”
Then, holding his daughter’s hand, Mana surged around him, forming a protective shield as he mounted the Purple Cloud Shuttle and shot into the sky, turning into a streak of light that disappeared into the horizon.
If a regular Foundation Establishnt Cultivator were to carry an Energy Refining Cultivator such a distance, the Mana consumption would be significant.
But with the Profound Origin Bead, his Mana was comparable to a False Core, and he no longer had to consider such issues.
…
A day later, Lu Changsheng brought his daughter back to Blue Lake Mountain.
“Father, Sister Ruyi.”
“Husband, Ruyi.”
Lu Yun, Lu Miaoyun, and others were surprised to see Lu Changsheng return with Lu Ruyi so soon.
“Changsheng, what happened?”
Li Feiyu, upon hearing of Lu Changsheng’s return, ca to inquire.
“White Tiger Mountain Zhao Family.”
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
“Indeed.”
Li Feiyu snorted coldly, “Changsheng, since that’s the case, let’s go directly to the Wu Jing Mine Site to confirm the situation, and then we’ll head to the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain to demand an explanation.”
His breakthrough in Foundation Establishnt, even though he had given Lu Changsheng ten thousand Spirit Stones, still left him feeling indebted and wanting to help out Lu Changsheng.
Lu Ruyi by his side was sowhat astonished.
She did not recognize this sowhat familiar middle-aged man, who appeared so domineering.
Before her father even spoke, the man was ready to go to White Tiger Mountain Zhao Family for accountability.
Thinking of her father’s and Auntie Miaoge’s track record, she felt very assured.
After all, the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain only had one Foundation Building Great Cultivator.
Although there were rumors of a Second Rank White Tiger Demon.
But no matter what, they were no match for her family.
“Alright, let’s do that.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Seeing that Lu Ruyi did not recognize Li Feiyu, he smiled and introduced, “Hehe, Ruyi, don’t you recognize him? This is your Uncle Li;
he even held you when you were little.”
“Uncle Li!”
Lu Ruyi rembered him, a little surprised, and quickly perford the formalities, surveying this Uncle Li.
“Hehe, little Ruyi is all grown up now.”
Li Feiyu laughed heartily.
“Yun’er, go call all the Lu Family disciples above the fifth layer of Energy Refining.”
Lu Changsheng said after a mont’s thought.
His family just happened to lack a Spirit Land, Spirit Vein.
Since the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain insisted on clashing, he naturally would not be polite.
And the children at ho also lacked experience;
they had not seen big events, so this trip could be an opportunity for them to witness and learn.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Yun responded imdiately upon hearing this.
“Oh, and you can bring Jiuyou along.”
Lu Changsheng added.
After he finished, he asked Li Feiyu to wait for a bit, went to Mount Suru Cave Heaven, and called for Lu Miaoge.
“Lord, I have recovered, and Miaoge can oversee the ho just as well.”
Ling Zixiao, discerning Lu Changsheng’s intentions, said so.
As an Array Master, she was more suited to attack Family Spirit Lands.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge alone to breach the Mountain Protection Array of White Tiger Mountain.
