Chapter 206: Chapter 112: 2 Boss, the big boss might not make it!_1
Nine Dragons Market.

Jade Meal Pavilion.

Inside a private room, Yu Maocheng was dining and drinking with Lu Changsheng.

“Brother Lu, the situation of the Lu Family doesn’t seem very optimistic. Do you have any plans in mind?”

After the drinks had flowed for a while, Yu Maocheng initiated the conversation.

“What plans could I have? When the sky falls, there’s someone tall to bear it; it’s not my turn to worry.”

“What, Brother Yu, are you bringing this up because you have a strategy in mind?”

Lu Changsheng lifted an eyebrow when he heard this.

Today, Yu Maocheng invited him to drink in this private room, which made him feel that the other party had something to say.

Now hearing this, he thought to himself that indeed, there was something.

“What strategies could I possibly have?”

“It’s just that the Yu Family is interested in recruiting you, Brother Lu. They asked me to act as a mediator.”

“They conveyed that if Brother Lu is willing to join the Yu Family, they are also willing to offer a family maiden in marriage to you.”

“As for the conditions and treatment, Brother Lu, you are also free to make requests,” said Yu Maocheng as he took a bite of his dish, smirked bitterly, and spoke the truth.

“I, Lu Changsheng, came from humble beginnings to join the Lu Family. Now that my wives, concubines, and children are all with the Lu Family, how can I commit such an act of betrayal against my own family?” Lu Changsheng waved his hand dismissively.

“Brother Lu, please don’t take offense. It’s just that the Yu Family knew of our acquaintance, which is why they had me act as the mediator. There’s no other implication. I’ll punish myself with a drink.” Yu Maocheng promptly lifted his cup and announced, expressing his apologies.

“I’m well aware of that.” Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, not taking it too much to heart.

He knew that Yu Maocheng was just a go-between.

The Yu Family asking him to be the mediator didn’t leave him any choice but to accept.

“In that case, I’ll give the Yu Family a response later.”

“However, Brother Lu, with your talent in the Talisman Path and having become a Top-Level Talisman Master at such a young age, I reckon the Yu Family won’t give up easily. They will likely send someone to recruit you again.” Yu Maocheng explained.

Envy was an inevitable undertone in his voice.

Previously, when the Yu Family asked him to mediate, he was somewhat surprised.

But after learning that Lu Changsheng was a Top-Level Talisman Master, his surprise was immense.

He had always thought Lu Changsheng was a Middle Grade Talisman Master.

Little had he expected Lu Changsheng to have been promoted to Top-Level Talisman Master.

In his awe at Lu Changsheng’s Talisman Path talent, he understood why the Lu Family said nothing about his multiple marriages. His status was such that it simply wasn’t comparable to that of a cultured family son-in-law like himself.

“Alright, thanks for the heads-up, Brother Yu.” Lu Changsheng nodded.

He could also sense what Yu Maocheng implied.

It meant that the Yu Family would arrange through Yu Maocheng to have him meet with someone from their family later. So it was like a courtesy heads-up for now.

“Actually, as a friend, I think Brother Lu could consider this option.”

“It’s not to say you should betray the Lu Family; rather, if the situation of the Lu Family truly becomes untenable, Brother Lu must consider an alternative for yourself.” Yu Maocheng took a sip of his drink and voiced his thoughts.

“Let’s see about that when the time comes,” Lu Changsheng sighed lightly, “It’s still a bit early to discuss this matter now.”

In his escape plans, he had naturally considered an alternative.

If it came to the point where the Lu Family was truly failing, Lu Changsheng planned to take his wives, concubines, and children to escape and hide in the Marketplace for a few years. Once the time was right, he would reveal his First Grade Top-Level Talisman-Making Skill and choose to join forces like the Qingyun Commerce Guild.

As for clans like the Yu Family involved in cultivation, they weren’t even within the range of his considerations.

After all, not every cultured family was as relatively upright as the Lu Family, a place where he could live comfortably and without worry.

Moreover, after the incident with the Lu Family, joining another cultivation family would ensure he never truly fit in and would face ostracism.

He would rather join a commerce guild or a sect, where life would be more relaxed and carefree.

“Indeed, there’s no need to rush these things,” Yu Maocheng agreed, nodding, “With Brother Lu’s Talisman-Making Skill, you can establish yourself anywhere.” He did not continue to delve into this topic.

…

Half a month later.

Lu Changsheng was in the Spiritual Talisman Shop, drawing talismans.

Zhang Shan informed Lu Changsheng that Yu Maocheng was looking for him.

“Brother Yu, what’s the matter?” Lu Changsheng descended from upstairs and asked Yu Maocheng.

“It’s about what I mentioned last time; the Yu Family will be sending someone again to recruit Brother Lu.”

“The Third Young Master of the Yu Family has arrived today and asked me to invite Brother Lu for a chat,” Yu Maocheng announced.

“The Third Young Master of the Yu Family?” Lu Changsheng obviously did not recognize this Third Young Master of the Yu Family.

But being referred to as the Third Young Master, he inferred that the young master’s status within the Yu Family must not be ordinary.

“Brother Lu, why don’t you go and meet him? Even if Brother Lu isn’t interested in joining the Yu Family, it’s still reasonable to meet,” Yu Maocheng suggested.

He then lowered his voice and added, “Moreover, from what I know, this Third Young Master doesn’t have the best of reputations. If Brother Lu can avoid offending him, it’s best to do so.”

“Alright, I’ll go with Brother Yu and meet him then,” Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly and nodded in response.

He was aware that if he refused, it would be difficult for Yu Maocheng to explain himself.

And since the Yu Family had sent a young master over, it was unlikely that he would just leave after making a visit without meeting anyone. Rather than going himself, later encounters would still lead them to seek him out, so it might as well be now.

“Why does it feel like these cultivation families are trying to uproot the Lu Family?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of the previous incident where Young Master Bai pursued Lu Miaoge.

It seemed that Young Master Bai’s presence in Nine Dragons Square, persistently wooing Lu Miaoge, might not stem from genuine affection for Lu Miaoge.

Instead, this approach could be a way to show earnestness and an attempt to have Lu Miaoge join the Bai Family.

“Sigh, it truly is a case of everyone pushing a falling wall. The Lu Family Ancestor hasn’t even passed away yet, and it’s come to this… If the Lu Family Ancestor were to die…”
