aside from encountering several fierce birds and beasts, they faced no real danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived at Ruyi County City, the sky had already darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this Ruyi County City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng looked at the city before him with some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Ruyi Prefecture was several times more prosperous and grand than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire city was majestic and immense, resembling a giant beast sprawled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights within the city were as bright as daylight, and the closely arranged residences, buildings, and shops were bustiling with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets were filled with bustling crowds, weaving through like shuttles, and from afar, one could see several towering structures that reached into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems that this world’s mundane realm is more prosperous than I had imagined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng gazed at the bustling city before him, feeling a surge of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his memories had awakened, he was just the son of an ordinary farmer, and the furthest place he had been to was Qinghe County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Ruyi Prefecture, he had never even been to Nanyu Prefecture, which was above Qinghe County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also made him quite unfamiliar with these big mundane cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now looking at Ruyi County gave him a feeling similar to a country person arriving in the grand Shanghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the city, the two asked for directions and made their way to Ruyi Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruyi Tower, as expected as Ruyi Prefecture’s largest restaurant, was more than ten zhang high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jade Ruyi hung in front of the building, with the three characters “Ruyi Tower” engraved on it, very splendid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red lanterns adorned each corner, and the walls showcased murals of illuminated landscapes and beautiful women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feiyu stepped forward and stated they were looking for Hong Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doorman had already been instructed, and upon hearing this, immediately went in to notify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a tall figure clad in a vestment robe and opulent attire emerged from Ruyi Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, Brother Lu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi greeted the two warmly upon seeing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw Lu Changsheng, he couldn’t help but take a few extra glances, as if he could hardly recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Lu Changsheng, both in appearance and temperament, had quite a noticeable change from three years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Hong, you look as though you don’t recognize me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other’s reaction, Lu Changsheng also joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Brother Li weren’t here, with such a change in Brother Lu, I really would have hesitated to recognize you right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi shook his head, his face filled with a smiling sense of awe as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was much more enthusiastic and generous than he was three years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every time I meet him after a few months, I feel he has changed too much, let alone the long separation you’ve had.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feiyu chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would meet with Lu Changsheng every few months to catch up on old times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t feel much at the moment, but looking back, he always felt that Lu Changsheng had some indescribable transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, Brother Lu, what’s going on with this change? It’s massive. Brother Li, on the other hand, hasn’t changed much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi nodded and continued, “This is not the place for idle chat. I’ve already reserved rooms and a private booth at Ruyi Tower. Brother Li, Brother Lu, you’ve been traveling all the way here; let’s go upstairs to welcome you properly and wash away the dust of the journey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin haven’t arrived yet, but they should be here within the next couple of days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the conversation, Hong Yi led the two into Ruyi Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, it was resplendent with gold and jade, and the eaves and rafters were intricately carved. In the center stood a spiral staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three ascended the stairs and arrived at an elegant private booth on the ninth floor. Through the windows, they could directly enjoy the beautiful night view outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Li, Brother Lu, it’s been three years since we’ve seen each other. How have you been in the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking their seats, Hong Yi enthusiastically served the two tea and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s been all right,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feiyu responded succinctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt there wasn’t much to talk about his own situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been managing,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng replied concisely as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Brother Li says so, I naturally believe it, but with you, Brother Lu, I don’t buy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over the past few years, I, Hong Yi, have frequently interacted with people, and I consider myself to have some discerning ability. Speaking of which, Brother Lu, that garment you’re wearing, if I’m not mistaken, it’s a vestment robe, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, if I had not previously met and gotten to know Brother Lu, I would have certainly mistaken you for a noble scion from a cultivation family with your appearance and temperament.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Brother Lu, you’re not being truthful, not treating me as a friend, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi said with a smile, adopting a somewhat exaggerated posture of being upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the three of them hadn’t been particularly close before, under Hong Yi’s words, they seemed to become much closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I truly haven’t hidden anything from Brother Hong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anything, it’s that I discovered my talent for talisman making in the Lu Family and have now become a talisman master, so my living conditions are quite decent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng shook his head and spoke thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t him trying to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, there was no need to hide such matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to this meeting, he did have some objectives in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to connect with Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin, the three disciples from the Immortal Sects, and maintain their friendship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to maintain a relationship, one naturally needs to have capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, what reason would the son-in-law of a cultivation family have to socialize with disciples of the Immortal Sects?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, being a First Grade Talisman Master was the capital he had on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sss, who would have thought Brother Lu had such talent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To think that in just three short years, you’ve become a talisman master. I’d like to offer a toast to Brother Lu with tea in place of wine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by these words, Hong Yi gasped, his demeanor warming considerably as he raised his cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Hong is too kind. I’m just an elementary talisman master after all, nowhere close to Brother Hong’s free and easy manner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng also lifted his tea in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lord of Ruyi County City was none other than the Marquis of Ruyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was Hong Yi’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within secular society, his status was certainly out of the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing how warm and polite the latter was now, a stark contrast to three years ago, it seemed he had endured quite a few setbacks over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m merely an extraneous son, my status is hardly worth mentioning, certainly nothing compared to Brother Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, Brother Lu has become an elementary talisman master in such a short time, which shows extraordinary talent, a true rare gem among men. It’s very possible that you could become a Second Grade Talisman Master in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi shook his head in admiration, then spoke with a sincere expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You flatter me, Brother Hong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yi’s words indeed made Lu Changsheng feel quite comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered how, three years ago, there was an arrogant air about Hong Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t belittle him and Han Lin with cold ridicule or do anything hostile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his actions and mannerisms had a certain air of superiority, a disdain for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the stark change in his attitude was surprisingly pleasing to Lu Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lu Changsheng wasn’t so proud as to leverage his status and engage in empty pleasantries with Hong Yi because of his changed attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Hong Yi driving the conversation, the three of them gradually became more familiar and engaged in more intimate discussions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though they were old friends reuniting after many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, under Hong Yi’s enthusiastic hospitality, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu stayed at the Ruyi Tower for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and Han Lin arrived in Ruyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving the news, Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu came downstairs with Hong Yi to welcome them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they descended than they saw Xiao Xiyue and her companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Feiyu, Young Master Hou, are you Lu Changsheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiyue, dressed in a long white dress as pristine as snow, with an extraordinarily beautiful oval face, greeted Lu Changsheng and the others with a bright smile as she approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her frank disposition and easy grace shone through her smile, brightening up everyone around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingqing gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair was simply done up, and she wore a long, verdant dress. While her appearance couldn’t be called stunning, it was delicate and pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially standing next to the exquisitely beautiful Xiao Xiyue, she seemed overshadowed, merely a green leaf serving as a foil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had fair skin and a tall, outstanding figure, with her slender legs and waist particularly eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Changsheng, Brother Feiyu, Young Master Hou,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Lin also greeted everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the two women, he appeared quite ordinary with no particular presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a grayish-brown robe with somewhat dark skin and unremarkable features, he was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin.\u003C\u002Fp>",1651,"2026-05-29T15:30:21.054Z","2026-06-01T04:29:36.927Z",1,"novelbin.me","4709f4a930e675f3c859db719eedace2c71d985bb81a596fe5abcce7890f5e03","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-26","starting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-chapter-24",2404,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-a-son-in-law-to-establish-an-immorta-cover.jpg"]
