Lu Jin was chatting with his wife when he sighed, "Honey, you know, it really is only Dad who can keep Mom in line."
Lu Jin's wife didn't quite agree. In all their years of marriage, she'd only ever seen her father-in-law coaxing her mother-in-law. She'd never seen him keep her in check.
But her husband was so happy right now that she didn't have the heart to correct him. She just humored him, saying, "That only proves how strong your parents' bond is."
Lu Jin was delighted. Although his mother wasn't his father's official wife, she was practically the same as one.
But before he'd been happy for long, he heard his mother shouting in the courtyard. With no choice, he used magic to teleport straight to Lu Zhaoyao's side.
Looking at his excited mother, he said helplessly, "Mom, just tell me what you need. I'll take care of it!"
Lu Zhaoyao could tell her son wasn't exactly thrilled, but she was in a good mood and didn't feel like holding it against him. She said impatiently, "Hurry up! Find out if anyone near Demon Sealing Mountain has died recently!"
Lu Jin was puzzled. He didn't understand what his mother was up to this time, but it was an easy enough task. All he had to do was send disciples from the sect to investigate, so he couldn't very well refuse.
He replied helplessly, "No problem. I'll get right on it. But why are you looking for people like that?"
Lu Zhaoyao didn't explain. "You can't help me even if I tell you. Just get moving."
As she spoke, she even shook her fist at him. She didn't act like a mother at all. She was over a hundred years old and still threatening her own son.
