"I don’t have any grand plans, just thinking of visiting Grandpa Li’s place first.”"Instructor Zhao, Instructor Mu, and Uncle Li, Uncle Hong have all said that the Jianghu is dangerous. Before, Uncle Li mentioned that if I wanted to go out and travel, I could first go to the Crimson Whale Gang to see the perils of Jianghu and then decide whether or not I want to venture far.” Lu Ping’an spoke honestly. "It’s good that you have this idea; going to the Crimson Whale Gang to gain some experience is also a good start.” Hong Yi nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Because of their relationship with Hong Yi and Li Feiyu, the three families had much more interaction with each other. Under the care of Hong Yi, Li Feiyu’s Crimson Whale Gang had been thriving, consistently handling Jianghu affairs for the Ruyi Marquis Mansion. It was not a bad idea for Lu Ping’an to gain some experience at the Crimson Whale Gang, at least he would face some real situations. Otherwise, letting his son wander around aimlessly was something he, as a father, couldn’t be at ease with. "Dad, there’s just Mom’s side that I’ll need you to talk to.” Lu Ping’an scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed as he spoke. "What, she learned you wanted to travel and she objected, didn’t she?” Lan Shu burst into laughter upon hearing this. His wife Lu Lanshu had the demeanor of a well-brought-up lady and naturally disliked her son engaging in fights and killings. Especially since Lu Ping’an was the eldest son, she always hoped that he would read more, learn to conduct himself in society, and manage family affairs. Initially, she had consented to allow the child to practice martial arts because Lan Shu had said all the children were training for the sake of strengthening their bodies and maintaining health; otherwise, she would be reluctant to let Lu Ping’an be engrossed in martial arts training. "I mentioned it to Mom before. Not only did she refuse, but she also said that I’m not getting any younger and asked me what I think of Sister Xue’er.” "But I’ve always seen Sister Xue’er as if she were my own sister.” Lu Ping’an said, feeling helpless. The Sister Xue’er he referred to was named Li Xue’er, the daughter of Li Feiyu. She was two years younger than Lu Ping’an, gentle and sensible, also favored by Lu Lanshu. Therefore, she also wished for this young girl to become her daughter-in-law. "However, your mother is also right, you’re indeed not young anymore.” Lan Shu stroked his chin and said. In this world, being married at sixteen was considered normal. Although Li Xue’er was still a little young, Lan Shu had brought up the matter to set things in motion early on. "Dad…” Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an’s face immediately fell. "Alright, alright, I’ll talk to her about your mom’s side in a bit.” "However, it’s true that you’re old enough to start considering these things.” "If you don’t like Xue’er, that’s fine; after all, you grew up together.” "When you go out to travel in the Jianghu in the future, if you meet a girl you like, be sure to bring her back, you understand?” Lan Shu said cheerfully. Although his children’s children would also bring benefits to him, He might even be eligible for system achievement rewards. But Lan Shu would not pressure his children to marry and have children. If they were willing, that would be the best. He would give them considerable support and substantial rewards. If they didn’t want to, he wouldn’t force them, just letting things take their natural course. "Yes, Dad.” Seeing his father also address the matter, Lu Ping’an’s face showed resignation, as if he had deflated. "Don’t look so down. Dad’s not forcing you, just don’t let a good match pass you by.” "Let’s go, I’ll talk to your mother.” Lan Shu, seeing his son like this, gave the boy’s head an affectionate yet exasperated tap. He suddenly understood the feelings of parents who urge their children to marry. If Lu Ping’an wasn’t getting married now, he wouldn’t be in a hurry or worried; After all, he was still young. He had several children too. But if his children grew older and he only had one or two kids, then surely he would be a bit anxious. Soon after, the two of them came to the backyard. "Lanshu.” Lan Shu looked towards his wife Lu Lanshu. Lu Lanshu was the same age as him. They had been married for nearly seventeen years now. Although she didn’t look as youthful as he did—still in his twenties— She had taken beautifying elixirs and, thanks to the nourishment of Spirit Rice over a long period, her skin was white and delicate, her face as tender and lovely as a lotus flower, relatively untouched by the traces of time. Her figure was also slender and graceful, showing no signs of having given birth to three children. "My lord, Ping’an.” Lu Lanshu, seeing her husband and son, walked forward gracefully. Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Her hair was neatly coiffed, adorned with a jade hairpin on the side. Dressed in a light turquoise palace gown, she exuded an air of dignified grace. As the wife of Lan Shu, she had come to manage many affairs of the Lu Residence, developing an air of majestic elegance. "Lanshu, I already know about what’s concerning Ping’an.” "He’s not young anymore. Since he wants to go out and see the world, let’s allow him.” Lan Shu looked at his wife, taking her hand, and spoke warmly. He understood his wife’s sentiments. She hoped that Lu Ping’an would inherit the family’s secular business. Upon hearing this, Lu Lanshu immediately glared at her son, causing Lu Ping’an to lower his head, unable to look at his mother. She bit her lip and said, “My lord, I really can’t rest at ease with Ping’an’s character; if he goes out, who knows what will happen with all the fighting and killing out there…” Her reluctance to let Lu Ping’an go out was not solely because she wanted her son to settle down early and take over the family business, But also because she knew what her son was like: easy to take advantage of and too naive for the outside world. "Lanshu, I understand how you feel, you hope for Ping’an to be safe and sound. I, too, wish for Ping’an to always be safe, which was why I chose his name with that intention. "But an eagle must eventually soar to the heavens, facing the abyss, the winds and the waves, alone. It’s an essential part of growing up.” "Although Ping’an could avoid these experiences, it’s also a good thing if he’s willing to face them.” "That way, I can trust him with more responsibilities in the future.” Lan Shu smiled gently, speaking to his wife. After a bit of casual conversation, Lu Lanshu finally nodded in agreement. Though it was extremely hard for her to let go, If Lan Shu spoke up, she couldn’t continue to object. After all, Lan Shu was the head of the family.
