However, Lu Xiaofeng misinterpreted Chen Yuze's surprised expression as something else entirely.

She raised her head, puffed out her chest, and then proudly put her hands on her hips, saying, "Although I am the younger sister of the sect leader of Qionghua Immortal Sect, I am a full two hundred and thirty-three years younger than my elder brother, the sect leader. I was not even a hundred years old when I reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Only Qianya, with her monstrous talent, could be a little higher than me."

"Uh……"

Is a Nascent Soul Great Perfection achieved in less than a hundred years something so rare?

Although Chen Yuze really wanted to continue the conversation, he hesitated because he knew that saying it might seriously damage his aunt's confidence. So, he swallowed the words back down.

"I never imagined that my aunt would also be such a talented person. The Qionghua Immortal Sect is indeed extraordinary! I, a country bumpkin from the mountains, have certainly broadened my horizons today."

“Oh, nephew-in-law, you must not underestimate yourself! A cultivator’s future is, to some extent, linked to the environment in which they are born. But the environment in which one is born is by no means the only criterion that determines a cultivator’s future.”

Thinking that Chen Yuze was upset by her words, Lu Xiaofeng quickly comforted him, "Besides, no matter what your birth was like, the fact that you saved Qianya from that villain Cheng Wanli will not change. I believe that Qianya is not the kind of child who would care about the birth of you."

"???"

I don't quite understand why my aunt suddenly looked at me with such an encouraging gaze.

But after much deliberation, Chen Yuze ultimately chose to silently accept the kindness from his elders.

"What Aunt said today was like a wake-up call! Yuze will remember it for the rest of his life!"

"Good, good, good. It's good that you know, nephew-in-law." Looking at the composed and unassuming young man before her, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that she was growing more and more fond of her nephew-in-law the more she looked at him.

"By the way, how old are you this year, nephew-in-law?"

"Uh……"

Chen Yuze counted on his fingers.

If we include the years since my previous life and the years since I transmigrated...

"You're probably around 27 this year?"

"27?" For a moment, Lu Xiaofeng's expression froze.

"So, my niece's husband is only six years older than our Qianya. As people of the same age, you must have a lot in common, hahaha!"

Judging from the slightly awkward "hahahahaha" at the end, Lu Xiaofeng had clearly started an awkward conversation.

Originally, this topic could have ended there and been put to rest.

However, after walking for a while longer, Lu Xiaofeng still persisted in asking:

"Speaking of which, nephew-in-law, you haven't told GuGu exactly what your cultivation level is yet~"

"..."

To be honest, even when playing games in his previous life, Chen

Yuze isn't the type of person who likes to show off or flaunt his good drops when he gets them in a game.

Even if he tries to keep a low profile, people still come up to him every time a new banner is released in the game and ask, "Old Chen, how many pulls did you do this time?"

This person is practically begging you to expose them, so Chen Yuze can't keep hiding it anymore, can he?

"To be honest, I am not very talented. I have only reached the early stage of the Integration Realm in my cultivation so far."

"What? So it's just the initial stage of fusion... the early stage of fusion!?"

It was as if the road had suddenly become scalding hot; Lu Xiaofeng almost jumped up.

No wonder she couldn't see through her nephew-in-law's cultivation level. He's at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like her possibly see through him?

What does it mean to be 27 years old at the beginning of a collaboration?

If you ask Lu Xiaofeng, she won't know either!

All she knew was that, even at the early stage of the Integration Realm, she was already stronger than more than half of the elders of the Qionghua Immortal Sect.

“Nephew-in-law, I never expected you to have such cultivation at such a young age! Not to mention that girl Qianya, even the founding ancestor of my Qionghua Immortal Sect is not as outrageous as you.”

"Auntie, you flatter me."

Chen Yuze shook his head and quickly said modestly, "The level of cultivation doesn't determine anything. I believe that as long as one stays true to oneself, everyone has the potential to walk their own path to enlightenment."

"Forget about the Path to Heaven. My only wish now is that you won't look down on Qianya because her cultivation level is too low." With a helpless sigh, Lu Xiaofeng, though only having some experience in 'virtual dating,' knew that if the gap between the man and woman was too large, it could easily lead to an unhappy marriage.

however……

"Auntie, what are you saying?" Chen Yuze laughed heartily.

"Qianya is also in the fusion period now."

Lu Xiaofeng: "????????????????"

336. The overall framework has not yet been fully developed.

Inside the inn, Lu Xiaofeng was holding Lu Qianya's head, turning it from side to side repeatedly.

Unlike Lu Qianya, whose eyes were filled with helplessness and bitterness, Lu Xiaofeng looked like a child who had just received a new toy.

That boundless curiosity is driving her to constantly explore the unknown territories of her life.

If it weren't for the fact that she was Lu Xiaofeng's niece, Lu Qianya would have thought that her aunt was about to dissect her at any moment.

"Auntie, what are you doing?!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Xiaofeng stopped, Lu Qianya finally found an opportunity to escape her clutches.

Lu Xiaofeng frowned, looking puzzled, and once again sized up her niece.

"That doesn't make sense! Even if Ya'er has exceptional talent for cultivation, it's impossible for her to advance from the Nascent Soul stage to the early Integration stage in just over half a year!"

"So, it's all thanks to Senior Brother Yuze! Auntie, why don't you ask Senior Brother Yuze?"

With a pout, Lu Qianya was clearly getting impatient with her aunt's endless harassment: "It was Senior Brother Yuze who gave me the Taiyin Seed, allowing me to achieve the Taiyin Body. Moreover, my cultivation level was also boosted by Senior Brother Yuze."

"The cultivation level that's been injected?" Grasping the key word immediately, Lu Xiaofeng's expression turned extremely serious: "Forcing growth is not a good thing, Ya'er. Have you noticed anything wrong with your body lately? And is the fluctuation of your cultivation level too large?"

"My body is in good condition. And my cultivation level hasn't fluctuated much. I'm just maintaining the early stage of the Integration Realm while slowly increasing my spiritual energy, preparing to break through to the middle stage of the Integration Realm later."

Realizing her aunt might have misunderstood something, Lu Qianya quickly explained, "Besides, what I meant by 'poured in' was consuming countless rare and precious herbs that can nourish the body and expand the spiritual sea. Moreover, the spiritual energy content in our home in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is dozens of times higher than outside. It's not surprising that our cultivation level increases a little faster, is it?"

"They've consumed countless rare and precious herbs, and the spiritual energy in their home is dozens of times greater than that of the outside world?"

Repeating Lu Qianya's words, if this girl weren't her niece, Lu Xiaofeng would probably have given her a good beating the next second.

After all, these words sound far too fantastical.

However, the dramatic changes in Lu Qianya forced Lu Xiaofeng to accept this reality.

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain the changes in my niece over the past six months.

"Well, it's a blessing for you to meet your nephew-in-law by chance."

She gently rubbed Lu Qianya's head, but then Lu Xiaofeng lowered her voice and pointed to the girls who were gradually returning to the inn outside the bedroom, saying, "But Ya'er, you said that all these girls outside are your niece's husband's Daoist partners... You must be lying to your aunt, right?"

"No, why would I lie to you for no reason? Although Senior Brother Yuze might have considered your feelings, Aunt, and thus his attitude was a bit more tactful when bringing these things up, these facts still need to be told to you and Mom and Dad eventually. Since we'll have to tell you sooner or later anyway, it's better to be clear from the beginning." She shrugged indifferently, having already come to terms with sharing Senior Brother Yuze with her sisters.

In fact, regarding Lu Qianya, and her...

For girls in similar circumstances, there are essentially only two choices.

First, stay obediently by Chen Yuze's side and get along well with the sisters.

Second, completely sever ties with Chen Yuze and start a new life.

But now it seems that, whether it's Lu Qianya or the other girls around Chen Yuze, they all ended up on the side of the first option.

It's important to understand that, from any perspective, Chen Yuze was actually quite good to them.

Besides being a bit boastful, he doesn't have any major flaws.

The initial purpose of keeping the girls at home was simply to heal their wounds and treat their illnesses. The reason most of the girls ultimately chose to stay was because they had become infatuated with Chen Yuze during this time.

Therefore, after deciding to stay by Yuze's side, Lu Qianya no longer had the concerns that Lu Xiaofeng had mentioned.

"But Qianya, you are, after all, the next leader of our Qionghua Immortal Sect! Aren't you afraid that your reputation and that of the Qionghua Immortal Sect will be damaged because of this?" Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to continue to remind her niece.

As a result, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened in surprise at her niece's answer.

“Aunt, my return to the Central Plains is not for the position of sect leader. Since I have decided to marry Senior Brother Yuze, I will naturally live with him in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The main purpose of our return to the Central Plains is to help the Qionghua Immortal Sect overcome its current difficulties. Then, there are some matters concerning Senior Brother Yuze's marriage proposal to my parents.”

"You don't want to be the leader of the Qionghua Immortal Sect!?" With both hands firmly planted on Lu Qianya's shoulders, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but advise:

"Ya'er, Ya'er, this is no small matter. You must think it through. You know, that Wang Defa has done a lot of dirty tricks behind your father's back to get the position of sect leader. And your father also went through a lot of trouble to get this position. Is it really worth giving up something that others would fight tooth and nail for?"

"What's there to be reluctant about? Aunt, you're still too narrow-minded." Amused, Lu Qianya straightened up and softly retorted to her aunt.

"Aunt, what's so good about the position of sect leader?"

"This is an unparalleled right! Moreover, once you become the sect leader, you can freely access the resources that the Qionghua Immortal Sect has accumulated over thousands of years."

"Aunt, as you know, I've never been interested in so-called power since I was a child. As for the resources that the Qionghua Immortal Sect has accumulated over thousands of years... Aunt, do you think these resources could allow me to leap from the Nascent Soul stage to the Integration stage in just over half a year?"

"This……"

When Lu Qianya asked this question, Lu Xiaofeng didn't know how to answer.

If the niece's husband's family is truly as well-off as Ya'er claims, then the position of sect leader of the Qionghua Immortal Sect doesn't seem so important after all.

But the problem is...

Lu Xiaofeng never actually visited the Chen family's courtyard!

For a cultivator like her who has lived in the Central Plains for many years, her views on certain things have long been solidified.

I would never easily change my opinion unless I saw it with my own eyes.

Moreover, Lu Xiaofeng believed that this situation would be even more serious for Lu Qianya's father!

337. Lu Xiaofeng: You've used up all the question marks on me.

"Auntie, let's not talk about my business for now."

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng's silent demeanor, Lu Qianya knew that her aunt needed some time to accept reality.

So, she simply did what she always did, affectionately hugging her aunt's arm and acting coquettishly:

"Aunt, please tell me about what has happened at the Qionghua Immortal Sect recently."

"That's true. After all, you came all the way back from the Ten Thousand Mountains just for this."

With mixed feelings, Lu Xiaofeng patted Lu Qianya's head. Although the niece in front of her was still the same niece, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and desolation, as if things had changed.

After all, just over half a year ago, this girl was still just a big kid in her eyes.
