My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

Lu Xiong entered the inner courtyard filled with rage, about to unleash his fury, when he saw his son, Lu Yun, return sometime earlier. Lu Yun bowed and greeted him, saying, "Greetings, Father."

"Why are you back? Weren't you in Qingzhou?" Lu Xiong asked, suppressing his anger, upon seeing his second son.

"Father, the year is almost over, and the academy is on holiday, so I've come back," Lu Yun said immediately.

At the same time, Madam Wang also came over and said to Lu Xiong, "There's another good thing I haven't told you yet. Yun'er has become the disciple of Dean Fu Qing of Lingyuan Academy and his last disciple."

Moreover, Dean Fu Qing is now serving as the Governor of Qingzhou. Our Yun'er is truly promising.

Wang's voice rose considerably at this point.

"Fu Qing, is that the person Mu Rou saved back then? He didn't blame Yun'er for taking A Zheng's place, and even took him as his disciple?" Lu Xiong asked in surprise.

"Father, when I went to Qingzhou, didn't you tell me to bring generous gifts to visit Dean Fu Qing first and explain why I was chosen as the student? After I went there, I presented all the silver you gave me. After hearing that my brother's talent was not good, he saw that I had an extraordinary way of speaking and good aptitude, so he took me under his wing."

He also introduced me to many of my fellow students.

"Didn't you say you wanted to ship the goods? I have a senior brother whose family is from Huangsha County. His father serves in the border army and has a good relationship with the local Hundred Cavalry Commandery. I've already explained the situation to him, and my senior brother just wrote today saying that it's possible to ship goods from Huangsha County." Lu Yun's words completely extinguished the anger in Lu Xiong's heart at this moment.

If one son no longer recognizes her, she can't possibly turn against this son as well.

Moreover, judging from Lu Yun's description, he is indeed doing quite well now, with a governor backing him up. Even if Lu Zheng joins the Hundred Cavalry Division, he may not necessarily have a brighter future than Lu Yun.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Hehe, Yun'er really gave her father a pleasant surprise. It's not easy for you to come back, let's have a good get-together."

In an instant, the atmosphere at home became lively.

Madam Wang then said, "Master, this time we're going to Fufeng County..."

"Don't even mention it. That rebellious son of mine, Lu Zheng, is now working in the Hundred Cavalry Division of Fufeng County. He said he wanted to sever all ties with me, so the goods didn't leave the city. Instead, I got a good humiliation from my second son," Lu Xiong said angrily.

Anger flashed across his face.

Lu Yun's eyes flickered as he said, "Father, don't be angry. Since my elder brother is so unfilial, why should you take him to heart? Once I've achieved success, I don't believe he won't come back to us."

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's get ready to eat. Yun'er has really done well this time. Master, please have a few more drinks with him." Madam Wang stepped forward and advised.

His face was also filled with joy.

Lu Xiong nodded.

Now that things have come to this point, what else can he say?

At that very moment, in the governor's mansion of Qingzhou, Fu Qing sat in his own living room. The hall was empty except for an old servant.

Fu Qing, as a high-ranking official in charge of a region and concurrently the dean of the Lingyuan Academy's Training Hall, held an extraordinary position. Yet today, he wore only an ordinary blue robe, sat in a chair, and looked at the old servant beside him, saying, "Junior brother, have you arranged everything that needed to be arranged?"

  Remember us, 101kanshu.com

"Don't worry, senior brother, everything is in order. We have almost taken control of the three passes in the Northern Frontier, especially Huangsha Pass. Some of our disciples have connections there," the old servant said softly.

Fu Qing nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face, and then said, "I trust you to handle things. After so many years, we are finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As long as this person's lifespan comes to an end, the Xuanjian Sect will surely have a place in this world."

That's right, Fu Qing is a remnant of a sect. He changed his appearance and joined the imperial court. Through hard work, he became a governor of a prefecture and had many disciples.

Using this advantage, they also controlled a pass in a border town in northern Xinjiang.

If this news were to leak out, it would certainly cause a sensation.

"Senior brother, speaking of the Northern Frontier, I'm reminded of that Miss Mu. Her son's chance to enroll was taken by Lu Yun..."

"Junior brother, it's not that your senior brother is ungrateful, it's just that the sect is the most important thing. All these years, I've taken on disciples with the aim of rebuilding the sect in the future. Lu Yun can now get the support of his family. Although they are just an ordinary merchant family, they took out 100,000 taels of silver as soon as they met."

Such financial resources will be helpful for us to rebuild our sect.

In the future, it may become one of our sources of wealth. If the sect wants to rebuild, it cannot lack power, financial resources, and talent.

With Miss Mu dead, her son has clearly been abandoned by his family.

If we were to pursue this matter, we would be cutting off our own path to wealth.

When Lu Yun came, I sent people to inquire. The Lu family's business in the Northern Frontier is doing quite well. If they have our support, their income will increase several times over, and donating tens of thousands of taels of silver every year will not be a problem.

Moreover, Lu Yun's talent is indeed quite good.

As for Lu Zheng, the information I received from my subordinates was that he was indeed ordinary, and had already been sent to the border army. Some rumors even suggested he was dead, so there was no need to dwell on it.

After hearing his words, the junior brother beside him changed his expression and said, "Senior brother, after all, he saved my life. Should we send someone to look for Lu Zheng again?"

"There's no need for that. What if he's not dead? Let's just pretend he is. We've already done what we promised. We've given him the admission card. That's fate." Fu Qing picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said calmly.

Now, Lu Yun is clearly more useful than Lu Zheng, so he doesn't want to choose him anymore.

Fu Qing is now high and mighty, and even Lu Yun only gave him a chance to be used because he offered her money.

Otherwise, they might not accept him as a disciple.

Fu Qing didn't know how many disciples like this he had.

No one can care about everything.

"Da da!"

Just then, crisp footsteps sounded outside. The junior brother beside him also fell silent. Over the years, he had always stayed by Fu Qing's side as a servant.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Zheng also returned home after leaving the Hundred Cavalry Commandery's garrison.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw three girls and two boys sleeping soundly with their heads covered, clearly still unconscious. He wasn't in a hurry, but instead ordered a table of food and drinks from outside, placed it on the table, and started drinking alone.

It wasn't until noon that the teenagers gradually woke up; they were about the same age as Lu Zheng.

Upon realizing they were in an unfamiliar environment, their eyes were filled with wariness.

Lu Zheng was quite satisfied. All five of them were of good cultivation level, around the same age as him, with four having already entered the realm of cultivation and one girl in the Bone Forging Realm.

They all looked at Lu Zheng warily.

The woman in the lead, in particular, was like a lone wolf, her eyes brimming with arrogance.
