Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 280: Chapter 135: Xiao Xiyue: So This is the Love Tribulation!_1
Above the pitch-black night sky, a silver moon hung high.

Its faint moonlight cascaded onto the pavilions and towers of the Lu Family estate, as if draping them in a layer of silver gauze.

The entire Lu Family estate was engulfed in darkness and silence, the only exception was a courtyard within the inner house, still brightly lit.

In the glow of frostlike radiance, a figure clad in white, resembling the celestial Fairy of the bright moon above, drifted towards this courtyard, her sashes fluttering in the night breeze.

“Hmm~”

Before even alighting, Xiao Xi Yue, like the Guanghan Fairy of the Moon Palace, suddenly heard a plaintive sound, sorrowful yet enchanting, filled with a thousand graces.

The sound caused Xiao Xi Yue’s exquisite features to slightly startle, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

This hastened pulse speeded the practice of her Supreme Forgetful Love Technique.

“What sound is this?”

Xiao Xi Yue furrowed her pretty brows, somewhat perplexed in her heart.

Why did such a simple sound cause such a throb within her.

The Supreme Forgetful Love Technique ran its course, suppressing this inexplicable emotional pulse.

She then followed the sound into a room within the courtyard.

The shadows reflected by the window allowed her to instantaneously guess what was happening inside.

This made her heart start ‘thumping’ again.

She realized her behavior was inappropriate.

Her arrival was ill-timed.

But a tremor of excitement surged within her, a tantalizing sensation, compelling her to channel a sliver of Spiritual Power into her beautiful eyes and peer through the window.

Inside the chamber, she saw several Lu family ladies she had met during the day with Lu Changsheng…

In an instant, Xiao Xi Yue felt as if struck by lightning.

Her stunning face instantly flushed with crimson, almost letting out an alarmed cry.

This single glance brought an unprecedented and intense impact to Xiao Xi Yue.

The Dao Heart that had just been calmed by the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique exploded at this moment.

Her Dao Heart shuddered, and the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique nearly failed, causing her delicate body to momentarily weaken.

At the age of fifteen, she had entered the Immortal Sects, embarking on a single-minded path of cultivation.

Though she had heard of the matters between men and women, and had read some relevant books, she was still naively ignorant.

Such scenes were foreign to her.

Let alone such stimulating and shocking imagery.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Xi Yue’s skin shone like luminous jade, reflecting with the cool moonlight.

Her serene and holy visage, usually as cool as the Nine Heavens Bright Moon, was now flushed like the rosy dawn, a beauty beyond compare.

Her emotions rose and fell tumultuously, leaving her dazed and at a loss.

“Could this be the emotional trial I’m to endure…”

Xiao Xi Yue bit her lip lightly, the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique running at full speed, suppressing the roaring tides within her heart.

Just now, the shock of the imagery she witnessed caused her heart to accelerate and her body to go weak.

But simultaneously, the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique also spun wildly.

The robust and impermeable barrier at her bottleneck seemed to subtly loosen at this moment.

She faintly realized what her emotional trial was.

Before this, she had only known that she must endure an emotional trial.

That trial fell upon Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng was the opportunity for her breakthrough.

But as for the specifics of the emotional trial, she herself was unclear.

Because the word ’emotion’ is too broad.

It could be familial love, friendship, romantic love, or the affection between a man and a woman.

And each of these emotions can be divided into many types.

In this moment, she vaguely understood.

It was about the emotions between a man and a woman.

The emotions that include desire between a man and a woman.

What she needed to do was suppress emotions, forget desires.

Thus, to know emotions yet forget them, to have emotions yet remain detached.

Upon realizing her emotional trial, Xiao Xi Yue’s eyes, as pure as the bright moon, flickered indecisively, trembling slightly.

Not only was her heart in disarray, but her mind was also in chaos, feeling lost and dazed.

And at the same time.

Inside the courtyard room, the diligently busy Lu Changsheng acutely sensed a spying presence.

He frowned slightly.

Although his estate lacked a Great Formation for protection,

there were protectors patrolling the outer estate, and a Nine Netherhound guarding the inner estate.

In the mortal world, it would be extremely difficult for any master to infiltrate.

His gaze pierced through the doors and windows, looking outside.

He immediately spotted a white silhouette as ethereal as a Fairy.

“Xiao Xi Yue?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the white silhouette, somewhat surprised.

He wondered what business the Fairy, Xi Yue, could have with him in the dead of night.

Not cultivating or sleeping at night, did she come to chat or share her heart?

However, seeing that the eavesdropper was Xiao Xi Yue, not some malevolent figure, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel reassured.

Yet this moment of inaction caused his wife, Lu Lanshu, to suddenly feel abandoned.

Her elegant features from the daytime, now flush and bewitching, looked back at her husband. Her half-lidded eyes brimming with allure, her voice soft and sultry, she asked, “My lord, what is it?”

The three other wives also turned their gaze towards Lu Changsheng.

“It’s nothing.”

Lu Changsheng, noting Xiao Xi Yue hurriedly departing as soon as he looked out, didn’t dwell on it further.

Presumably, Xiao Xi Yue had some urgent matter with him to come at such a late hour, thus stumbling upon such a scene.

Besides, he couldn’t very well stop what he was doing now to go ask Xiao Xi Yue what the matter was, right?

…

Meanwhile, Xiao Xi Yue, amidst her inner turmoil, sensed the gaze of Lu Changsheng upon her.

Even though she cultivated the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique and possessed a pure nature, unfamiliar with worldly affairs, in such a situation, her heart couldn’t help but flutter.

Almost as if fleeing, she left the courtyard and floated back to her own.

Returning to her room, Xiao Xi Yue ran the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique swiftly, allowing her exquisite complexion to gradually return to its aloof coolness.

But recalling that scene, she still felt a trembling deep within her soul, her delicate body burning with heat.

“So this is my emotional trial, no wonder I have always been unable to perfect the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique.”

“My state of mind is still far from sufficient.”
