Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul

Afterwards, Lu Linglong introduced Li Chang'an and Lu Lin to their friends, and that's how the two sides got to know each other.

Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue quickly greeted Lu Lin and Li Chang'an.

"Hello, brothers!" Bai Shixue said generously.

"Hello Brother Li, hello Brother Lu, please take good care of me since I'm new here!" Zhi Jinhua bowed slightly, behaving very politely.

Li Chang'an nodded to Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue and said "Hello".

Lu Lin, on the other hand, felt embarrassed to be too cold, since the other person had been very enthusiastic.

He smiled and nodded, then said, forcing a smile:

"Welcome to Suzhou! You must be tired from your journey. Linglong must have caused you a lot of trouble!"

"I would never cause trouble for anyone!" Lu Linglong retorted.

Bai Shixue quickly replied, "No, no, on the contrary, we've been the ones troubling Linglong in many ways."

Hibiscus smiled and said, "Linglong has indeed caused us a lot of trouble, but we are good friends, so it is only right that we take care of her."

Lu Linglong glanced at the hibiscus flower, but did not refute it.

She does indeed cause a lot of trouble for Hibiscus in her daily life.

Who can blame her when she's a living computer?

Even so, this little bitch actually took the opportunity to back down!

Besides, I've helped her quite a bit in the past!

Have you forgotten who raised her like a mother at school, taking care of her every need?!

Once we get back to the capital, I must give Hua'er a good beating! Lu Linglong made up her mind.

Lu Lin chatted with Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue for a few minutes before Lu Linglong took over the conversation.

After all, Lu Linglong knew what kind of personality her cousin had, and she didn't want to embarrass him.

She still cares a lot about her family's feelings.

As for Lu Lin, he felt quite relaxed picking up people this time.

Firstly, everyone on the street was drawn to Senior Brother Chang'an.

Secondly, during the conversation, the woman named Zhi Jinhua always spoke at just the right time, so he didn't feel burdened.

The reason Lu Lin felt this way was mainly because Zhi Jinhua had analyzed his personality.

Therefore, neither she nor Bai Shixue showed excessive enthusiasm, giving Lu Lin a good sense of boundaries.

In addition, most of the attention of Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue was focused on Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an also noticed that they were looking him up and down, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

It's their business if they look at you.

Whether or not you are affected is your own business.

If you care too much about what others think or believe.

It's hard for people like that to be happy.

Finding that she couldn't glean any useful information from visual observation, the hibiscus flower asked aloud:

"Isn't Brother Chang'an Grandpa Lu's only personally taught disciple?"

"No!"

Li Chang'an patted Lu Lin on the shoulder: "This cousin is one too!"

"Oh my god, why are you doing this to me again?" Lu Lin said calmly.

"Our Lu family has rules, so I'm not considered a direct disciple, but rather a nominal disciple, right?"

He paused, then added, "Mainly because my great-grandfather was afraid the techniques would be lost, that's why..."

"Big brother, there's no need to explain, Hua'er and the others understand!" Lu Linglong said with a smile.

"Yes, cousin, you don't need to be so polite. Strictly speaking, we're even from the same sect. Just treat us as your junior sisters from now on," Zhi Jinhua said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it's fine to be her junior sister," Bai Shixue echoed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin paused for a moment, then immediately understood the meaning of the hibiscus flower.

They must be extraordinary individuals recruited by the Lu family.

This is not unusual.

Over the years, the four major families have maintained an open attitude, except for the Lü family, which has become increasingly conservative. They actively recruit new talent from outside.

Many extraordinary individuals, especially those born with extraordinary abilities, are recruited by various forces after they reveal their powers.

It could be a company, a sect, or a family.

Most people with innate superhuman abilities are willing to be recruited.

After all, this society is controlled by companies. If you use your innate abilities to do evil and illegally amass wealth, you will definitely be investigated by someone.

Therefore, choosing to join a faction to gain protection and access to cultivation resources is undoubtedly a very worthwhile thing.

Moreover, we are currently in a time of peace, with very few conflicts.

After joining, there's no need for frequent fighting, so the benefits far outweigh the risks.

In recent years, the World Society has been the most willing to spend money in recruiting extraordinary individuals.

By choosing to join, you can immediately receive a substantial sum of money, and thereafter you will receive a fixed monthly salary, with benefits even higher than some large internet companies that offer the "blessing" of working 996 hours a day.

Hibiscus and White Snow were also courted by the World Society.

In addition, Hibiscus has also received offers from the company, as her computer skills are still somewhat useful to the company.

However, the trifoliate orange did not join the company.

In her view, the company only had a formal staff position, but the benefits were very average.

Girls always want a lot of pocket money so they can buy nice bags, nice clothes, shoes, and so on.

These needs cannot be met by joining the company.

Moreover, company employees often have to deal with trouble caused by eccentric individuals.

Overall, the risks are greater than joining other factions.

So after some consideration, they ultimately chose the Lu family, whose treatment was worse but whose reputation was the best.

Because they were all girls and of similar age, Lu Jin arranged for them to be placed next to Lu Linglong.

At first, they were somewhat resistant, feeling that they were just accompanying the prince in his studies.

But after getting to know her, they discovered that Lu Linglong was simply an angel, and spending time with her was incredibly easy, so they naturally became best friends.

The group headed towards the Lu family's residence.

During this time, Zhi Jinhua spoke with Li Chang'an several times, secretly using her abilities.

However, they were unable to obtain any analyzable information from Li Chang'an, nor could they predict his behavior.

Her first misstep left her with a sense of insecurity and curiosity about the unknown, compelling her to continue analyzing Li Chang'an.

For a moment, she spoke quite frequently.

Even Lu Linglong was somewhat surprised; Hua'er's behavior this time seemed a bit unusual.

However, she didn't think much of it. Given Chang'an's appearance, it was normal for him to be a bit talkative.

Li Chang'an didn't give Zhi Jin much time to analyze the situation. After returning to the Lu family, the group parted ways.

Because of the apprentice-acceptance banquet, Lu Linglong's father also returned home. As soon as Lu Linglong came back, she naturally went to see her father.

Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue also need to pay their respects to the elders of the Lu family.

Only Li Chang'an was not swayed by these social niceties; he went straight back to his courtyard to continue his cultivation for the day.

The Lu family was used to this.

In the past, even if I didn't say it, I had my share of complaints.

But now, having witnessed Li Chang'an's true strength, this unconventionality has transformed into the demeanor of a powerful figure.

They would automatically make up for it in their minds: he's so capable, he's so busy, it's only natural that he doesn't have time for socializing.
