I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Lu Xuan's affirmation made Shen Yue and the others feel very happy.

Because what Shen Yue and the others were most worried about was that they would become a burden to Lu Xuan, someone who would slow him down. Not only would they not be able to help him at all, but they would also hold him back. If that happened, they would feel really bad.

However, Lu Xuan's affirmation of everyone this time made everyone feel relieved and excited at the same time.

This was a huge encouragement for them.

"You all did a great job... I'll prepare some rewards for you later, hehe..."

Lu Xuan couldn't think of anything to offer as a reward right now, so he'd just make a grand promise for now.

"The master has been very good to us; this is what we should do."

Shen Yue and the other girls said obediently.

Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Jiang Dachun in front of him.

"Dachun, you did a great job too. How's your injury?"

"I'm fine, this little injury has healed a long time ago."

Jiang Dachun patted his broad chest and said.

He's a real man, though.

Even through the array, Lu Xuan could see Jiang Dachun's injuries, and he felt a pang of pain himself.

However, Da Chun stubbornly endured it, and despite his severe injuries, he continued to fight the enemy, risking his life to protect Shen Yue and the others.

This moved even Lu Xuan.

"While your physique has a strong recovery ability, you can't always use that reckless fighting style!"

"You should be more careful to protect yourself in the future."

Lu Xuan said to Jiang Dachun.

Jiang Dachun nodded seriously.

"Your disciple will remember this!"

"Take this technique and study it for a couple of days. After you've become familiar with it, I'll teach you."

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Lu Xuan handed the manual for the Invincible Blood Golden Body to Jiang Dachun.

Upon seeing that there was another cultivation technique, Jiang Dachun was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward.

"Hehe, thanks a lot, Master!"

Jiang Dachun was overjoyed.

Because the martial arts taught by Lu Xuan were all extremely powerful.

Last time, it was precisely because of the Haotu Sand Armor Technique taught by Lu Xuan that he was able to unleash his full strength and ultimately defeat the enemy.

This time, he taught me martial arts again.

In Jiang Dachun's view, the power of this technique must be considerable.

"That's all. You can all go and rest, or get back to work."

Lu Xuan thought about it for a while, and then realized there was nothing else to discuss.

That was how they dismissed everyone.

After everyone left, Shen Yue came to Lu Xuan's side and said something.

"Sir, Sister Xu Jing came by this morning. She said she has already sent people to investigate this matter."

"She also said that she has already taken care of everything you asked her to do."

Upon hearing Shen Yue's report, Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

"Okay, that's good."

"Jing'er is very thoughtful, and she does her best in everything she does."

"If you encounter any problems and I'm not around, and you don't know what to do, you can ask her for advice."

Lu Xuan said.

Shen Yue has grown a lot in the past few days.

But ultimately, the time was too short. They had just escaped their original rural life and were also very lacking in knowledge.

This is also why Shen Yue wanted to hire a tutor.

Only through continuous learning can one enrich their knowledge base.

Shen Yue is very smart, and if she studies hard, she will definitely make rapid progress.

In comparison, Xu Jing's abilities would naturally be stronger.

However, Xu Jing also knew that Shen Yue was the one who had accompanied Lu Xuan from the very beginning, so she would never have any disrespectful thoughts towards her.

Lu Xuan just finished.

Jiang Dachun went out to study for a while, then came back to report.

It is said that the city lord came that day, wanting to see the master.

"Hurry up and let him in; he's the city lord, after all."

Lu Xuan found Jiang Dachun's honesty both amusing and exasperating, but it was a good thing.

This shows that Jiang Dachun truly took Lu Xuan's words to heart.

They were genuinely concerned about protecting Xianhe Manor.

Jiang Dachun hurriedly went out to report.

Shen Yue then asked Shen Yu to make tea.

It would be somewhat unseemly for her to be pregnant, so she had Shen Yu serve her from the side.

Soon, Yi Shuhe and Chu Lingsheng walked in.

Chu Lingsheng didn't find out about such a big thing happening to Lu Xuan until the next day.

Upon learning of this, he immediately went to Guyun Pharmacy and then to the City Lord's Mansion.

Currently, the Chu family dominates the entire Jinyuan City.

Basically, as long as the relationship between the Chu family and the City Lord's Mansion continues to be maintained...

Also, avoid offending super-strong individuals like Lu Xuan.

Then the Chu family will be able to maintain its dominant position.

Although the Chu family is the most powerful, from the perspective of the City Lord's Mansion, the Chu family pays their taxes on time and in full, so there is naturally nothing to say. They also provide all the benefits they are entitled to. The family is sensible, which is naturally the best thing for the current situation.

The city lord's mansion is lucrative, and the city is stable and prosperous.

There's no way any more trouble could arise.

If your Chu family harbors any disloyalty and wants to cause trouble, then the City Lord's Mansion will definitely not let you off easily. They will even pay close attention to you and could easily have a huge impact on your business by suppressing it.

After learning about the situation from Xu Jing, Chu Lingsheng hurriedly went to the city lord.

When he learned that everything was in order, Chu Lingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The Chu family's current status is entirely due to Lu Xuan's help.

If Lu Xuan hadn't given him so much food from the Chu family...

Even the Chu family couldn't have come to this.

Therefore, if the Chu family does nothing after the incident at Xianhe Manor, they will be letting Lu Xuan down.

Yi Shuhe also believes this is the case.

He owed Lu Xuan such a huge favor, receiving a fourth-grade pill for free, and the quality of this fourth-grade pill was extremely good.

Earlier, thanks to Lu Xuan, the plans of the Night Liang Kingdom were thwarted, and the entire Jin Yuan City was protected.

Therefore, Yi Shuhe also owed Lu Xuan a very large favor.

Lu Xuan has done so much for the entire Jinyuan City.

It's clear that Xianhe Manor is now being retaliated against because of Lu Xuan's previous actions. Logically and morally, Yi Shuhe should also take action.

"Hehe, greetings, City Lord. Old Chu has arrived as well."

Lu Xuan cupped his hands in greeting to the two of them.

"Greetings, Elder Lu."

"Greetings, Elder Lu."

Yi Shuhe and Chu Lingsheng also clasped their hands in a salute to Lu Xuan.

"Elder Lu, my Chu family is truly ashamed! Let's not say anything more, please just punish me directly!"

"If you don't whip me a few times today, I won't dare leave!"

Chu Lingsheng faced Lu Xuan, pleading guilty with a thorn on his back, and actually took out a long whip, wanting Lu Xuan to whip him.

"You little old man, you're dreaming! You think I'll beat you up?"

Lu Xuan smiled jokingly.

He doesn't have a penchant for smoking old men.

In general, if there's a situation, he'll just beat the other person to death.

"Oh, I'm so ashamed to face you."

"Such a huge incident happened in the manor, and our Chu family didn't even notice! Fortunately, my sisters-in-law and the City Lord intervened. Otherwise, even if you beat me to death, I still wouldn't be able to make up for such a huge mistake!"

Chu Lingsheng sighed and said.

"Alright, this is not what you wanted either. Those people's cultivation levels are all above your Chu family's, so naturally you couldn't detect it."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

He then spoke to Yi Shuhe as well.

"Thank you very much, Lord City Lord, for your help that day."

"Oh, Elder Lu, you're too kind. Even if I hadn't intervened that day, I believe that with Elder Lu's abilities, he could have easily resolved this matter."

"Speaking of this matter, I bear the greatest responsibility. I managed to let these people infiltrate without me even noticing."

"If I had discovered it sooner, I wouldn't have had to disturb all of you sisters-in-law."

Yi Shuhe said.

"What's meant to happen will happen, and similar incidents may occur again in the future."

"It's impossible to prevent."

"What do you mean? Have you two found out anything? Who exactly is making such a big fuss, trying to deal with me?"

Lu Xuan has many enemies.

But if someone openly hates me this much, then it's only the former city lord of Huangsha City, and then the Ye Liang Kingdom.

"These people are all members of the Black Demon Army under the Black Demon Commander in the Kingdom of Ye Liang. They are also responsible for assassination missions within the Kingdom of Ye Liang."

"Even the Kingdom of Yeliang is terrified of the Black Demon Army. The current ruler of Yeliang rose to power in his early years by eliminating dissidents through assassinations by the Black Demon Army."

Yi Shuhe gave a simple explanation in two sentences.

"Black Magician?"

"Now that the Black Demon Army has made its move, is the Black Demon Commander also nearby?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Yes! Generally speaking, the Dark Lord will personally oversee the assassination."

"If the first assassination attempt fails, they won't leave immediately. Instead, they'll gather their subordinates and wait for an opportunity!"

"But behind these people, there must be someone with extraordinary connections protecting them, someone even I can't find."

Yi Shuhe sighed and said.

"Oh?"

"Are they still inside the city?"

Lu Xuan looked at Yi Shuhe, who nodded slightly.

"I can be sure of that."

"Since he is a marshal, his cultivation level must be at least fourth rank."

"There shouldn't be many fourth-rank experts in Jinyuan City."

"Finding it... isn't difficult!"

A glint of light suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan's aged eyes.

The next moment, a mysterious and vast energy burst forth from itself, rapidly covering the surrounding area.

Even Yi Shuhe and Chu Lingsheng could clearly feel the powerful yet subtle energy fluctuations emanating from Lu Xuan.

Chu Lingsheng still couldn't quite understand.

After all, he was only a third-rank official.

However, Yi Shuhe's gaze was filled with utter shock as he looked at Lu Xuan.

"This...this is..."

The shock in his eyes was simply beyond words.

"Mental probing!"

"Elder Lu... has reached the fifth rank!"
