Family Cultivation: Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 21: Marriage? Marry into the wife's family!
After arriving on Qixing Island for nearly half a year, Lin Changyue has been staying at home and rarely going out.

Except for the time when he sold snake blood and snake skin, he had never dealt with Liu Yunlong.

Of course, Lin Changyue had always remembered the time when Liu Yunlong tried to trick him, and he would definitely repay him when he had the chance in the future.

"I want to see what this guy is up to."

After receiving the summons, Lin Changyue decided to keep the appointment.

Qixing Island is the territory of the Liu family. As the owner, Liu Yunlong would not do it in the market town, let alone when he actively invites him over, even if he has any opinions about him and wants to trick him.

Taking a step back, if Liu Yunlong really wanted to take action, Lin Changyue, who had a physique comparable to that of a second-level early stage demon beast and had newly made five second-level Mysterious Ice Wind Blade Talismans, would not be afraid of him.

In addition, Lin Changyue also wanted to test the attitude of Liu Yunlong and the Liu family behind him.

Judging from their past relationship, the Liu family and the Lin family have a pretty good relationship. They even took the initiative to help the Lin family when they were suppressed by the Zhou family.

Just like Qixing Island and the other two Liu family markets, the Liu family took the initiative to invite the Lin family to come and do business, and also guaranteed the safety of the Lin family members and did not allow the Zhou family to take action.

So before, Lin Changyue, like most of the Lin family members, had a good impression of the Liu family, thinking that they were willing to lend a helping hand when the Lin family was in trouble.

But during their last encounter, Liu Yunlong's "malice" that came out almost subconsciously was an undisguised desire to trick Lin Changyue.

Lin Changyue became alert.

Maybe the Liu family is not as good as the Lin family imagined!

As the young master of the Liu family and a foundation-building cultivator, Liu Yunlong's words and deeds almost represent the attitude of the Liu family.

……

Liu Yunlong lives in the easternmost part of the Seven Star Island, where the spiritual energy is the most abundant and it has a second-level spiritual vein.

All the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage who came to the Seven Star Island lived in this area, which was similar to the villa area for the rich in Lin Changyue's previous life.

Following the instructions, it was easy to find Liu Yunlong's mansion.

After Lin Changyue entered, he was greeted not by Liu Yunlong, but by a young female cultivator with black hair combed into a flowing bun and wearing a long palace dress.

"Lin Changyue?"

The female cultivator's appearance was not as stunning as Xie Lingshuang's, but she was also a great beauty, and her eyes were bright, giving people a lively girlish feeling.

"I'm Liu Ruyan, Liu Yunlong is my cousin. Actually, I invited you here today using your cousin's name." Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

"It turns out to be Miss Ruyan. I wonder what you want from me?" Lin Changyue was even more puzzled by the Liu family's actions, but he remained calm and responded to their moves.

"I heard that you are a genius talisman master. You learned to draw talismans and entered the first level in just a few months. In less than three years, you were promoted to the first level of intermediate quality. Coincidentally, I am also a talisman master, so I would like to ask for your guidance."

Although Liu Ruyan was smiling and saying polite words like "please give me some advice", her expression showed a bit of dissatisfaction. It seemed that she did not quite approve of Lin Changyue, the genius talisman master, and wanted to personally "weigh" him.

"I don't deserve your guidance. If Miss Ruyan is willing, we can discuss talisman techniques together..."

Lin Changyue said modestly.

Afterwards, Liu Ruyan actually discussed some techniques and experiences of drawing talismans with Lin Changyue.

About half an hour later, Liu Ruyan's already bright and lively eyes showed a hint of surprise, as if she was really impressed by Lin Changyue's talisman skills and some unique insights into the art of talismans.

So she got excited and invited Lin Changyue to her talisman room. She drew a few talismans on the spot and asked Lin Changyue for guidance.

Lin Changyue looked at Liu Ruyan who was drawing the talisman, with a strange look on his face.

This young lady from the Liu family has pretty good talisman skills and is already a first-class mid-grade talisman master, but her attainments and talents are inferior to Lin Changxuan's.

But, did Liu Yunlong really invite him here just to help guide his cousin?
Nearly four hours passed from morning to sunset before Liu Yunlong, the young master of the Liu family, finally showed up.

"Friend Lin, we just met briefly last time. I've been busy recently, so I haven't had time to show my hospitality. My cousin invited you over today, so why not have a simple meal together?" Liu Yunlong said with a friendly smile.

He didn't act like a Foundation Establishment cultivator and seemed easy to talk to—if Lin Changyue didn't remember that this person clearly wanted to trick him last time.

"I dare not refuse Daoist Fellow Liu's invitation."

Lin Changyue agreed.

Liu Yunlong didn't say much during the meal. Most of the time he just watched Liu Ruyan ask Lin Changyue for advice on talisman techniques without disturbing her.

When the meal was almost over, Liu Yunlong finally spoke: "Ruyan, how about it, are you convinced now? It's true that Fellow Daoist Lin is a genius in the art of talismans, right?"

Liu Ruyan nodded quickly. "Although Master Lin's talisman skills aren't the highest I've ever seen, many of his insights into talisman techniques are the most unique I've ever seen! No wonder he was able to become a first-level, mid-grade talisman master in less than three years. He's even more powerful than me, who's been studying for almost ten years! I now believe that Master Lin won't just have the hope of becoming a second-level talisman master, he will definitely become one!"

Lin Changyue remained modest: "Miss Ruyan, you are too kind. What I say may not be entirely correct, nor may it be useful."

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need to be so modest." Liu Yunlong waved his hand and then looked at the two of them with a smile. He first asked Liu Ruyan, "Ruyan, since you admire Fellow Daoist Lin so much, how about letting Fellow Daoist Lin be your Taoist companion?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's fair oval face flushed red, and she said angrily, "Cousin, what are you talking about? This is the first time Master Lin Fu and I have met."

"Okay, don't be shy. I can see that you have a good impression of Fellow Daoist Lin."

Liu Yunlong laughed heartily and then turned to look at Lin Changyue. "Fellow Daoist Lin, my cousin has taken a fancy to you. What do you think? Do you still like my cousin?"

Lin Changyue: ???

What's going on? I asked him to come over today. Is he talking about getting married?

Does the Liu family never play by the rules?

After a moment's silence, Lin Changyue politely declined, "To be honest, I've already married several wives. I'm afraid I'm no match for Miss Ruyan."

Liu Yunlong said indifferently, "For cultivators of my generation, having several wives is not a big deal. However, if you marry my cousin, you must marry into my Liu family. Everything else is not a problem."

Hearing this, Lin Changyue smiled inwardly.

So you wanted to recruit him into the Liu family?
Now that makes sense.

But this is too fantastical and a complete joke.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yunlong proposed a condition, saying, "If you marry Ruyan, it will represent an alliance between your Lin family and my Liu family. I can promise you that from now on, the Zhou family will never dare to bully your Lin family again. All the property and markets they have previously occupied from your Lin family will be returned in full! Fellow Daoist Lin should be well aware that our Liu family has the ability to do this."

The Liu family naturally has the ability to prevent the Zhou family from bouncing back.

But Lin Changyue would never marry into the family.

The Lin family can quickly put pressure on the Zhou family by relying on themselves!
"I'm so sorry." Lin Changyue shook his head and refused directly this time: "The Lin family cultivators only recruit sons-in-law, but never marry into the family."

"Why don't you go back and discuss it with your clan leader and the foundation-building ancestor?" Liu Yunlong said with a smile.

But this time, the smile was no longer so kind, and it seemed like a half-smile.

After a pause, as if thinking of something, he said quietly, "Your Lin family should be planning that after Lin Changgeng has established his foundation, you won't have to worry about the Zhou family anymore, right? But have you ever thought about what would happen if Lin Changgeng failed to establish his foundation?"

Lin Changyue's expression changed slightly. He stood up and said politely, "I have something else to do. I'll take my leave now."

"Haha." Liu Yunlong didn't stand up, but just stared at him and said, "Little friend Lin, you are quite stubborn. You haven't even become a second-level Talisman Master yet, but you have some of the attitude of a second-level Talisman Master, and you put yourself on the same level as the Foundation Establishment seniors."

Lin Xiaoyou?
Tsk!
“Then…” Lin Changyue cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Senior Liu, for your hospitality today. I will take my leave now.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Ruyan called him anxiously from behind, but he did not stop.
