His Sister-in-Law Was Coming Too

Lu Qing'an was surprised when he heard He Hong's words.

"Elder He, what happened?"

He Hong was a friend to him despite their difference in age, and the two of them had been close ever since they met.

It was different from his relationship with Xiao Qingyi.

He and Xiao Qingyi were more like old enemies who had become friends after a fair bit of bickering and fighting, while his friendship with He Hong had been good from beginning to end.

"When you left, a lot of people found out you were a Great Emperor Realm expert from the Demon Domain, didn't they? And as for our relationship, everyone in the Immortal Ruins knows we're close enough to share a pair of pants. Now a lot of people are saying I betrayed the Immortal Ruins and brought someone from the Demon Domain here. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't much difference between the people of the Immortal Ruins and the Demon Domain; they're just on different sides. I don't care about any of that, but the gossip is still getting on my nerves."

After hearing He Hong out, Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "You're at the Great Emperor Realm too, so they only dare talk about you behind your back. You can come over. I've already found a place to settle down here. But are you planning to stay for a while, or settle down for good?"

He was happy to have his good friend come over. Having one more person to chat with would be nice.

His strength had already reached its peak, and the system had also stored a millionfold amount of cultivation and strength within him.

Whenever he wanted it, he could simply withdraw it and use it, just like having a huge sum of money in the bank. He couldn't withdraw too much at once, though, or the whole world would collapse.

With no need to cultivate, he had nothing else to keep him busy, so he just took care of his two daughters and helped them cultivate.

He Hong laughed. "If the people over there won't discover me and hunt me down, settling down isn't out of the question! After all, as you know, I don't have any other friends here. I'm closest to you. Besides, my two favorite girls are both over there with you. As for your son, ah, perhaps our birth charts clash. We just can't find anything to talk about."

What he meant, in so many words, was that he missed Lu Miaomiao and her sister a little.

Lu Qing'an smiled. "All right, then. With me here, you can settle down for as long as you like. No one will dare make a move against you."

"Haha! That's all I need to hear! You really are something, kid. You hid your Peak Great Emperor Realm cultivation for so long! Even an old man like me didn't notice!"

When He Hong saw Lu Qing'an's true cultivation, he had been genuinely shocked.

He had known Lu Qing'an for a thousand years, and during that time, he had gone to drink tea, play chess, and chat with him almost every day when he had nothing else to do.

He was also at the Great Emperor Realm, and although he was only at the Middle Great Emperor Realm, he shouldn't have been unable to sense the presence of a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert.

It could only be said that Lu Qing'an was far too skilled at hiding himself!

Of course, he didn't blame Lu Qing'an for it.

He understood very well how difficult it was for an expert from the Demon Domain to survive in the Immortal Ruins. Without properly hiding his strength, he could easily have been ganged up on by the experts of the Immortal Ruins.

A few hundred years ago, a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert from the Demon Domain had come to the Immortal Ruins. Even with the restrictions imposed by crossing domains, he had still been terrifyingly strong, but in the end, the many Great Emperors of the Immortal Ruins had joined forces and nearly killed him there.

That day, He Hong had seen a rough glimpse of those top experts fighting from afar. If Lu Qing'an's identity had been exposed, he would surely have met the same fate, or might even have been wiped out on the spot!

Lu Qing'an said, "You didn't notice because you never doubted me."

"Haha, you always know what to say! All right, I'll pack my things and get ready to leave! When the time comes, how do I find you? Or will you come pick me up?" He Hong asked seriously.

It had also taken him two days to make this decision.

After all, the situation in the Demon Domain was the same as in the Immortal Ruins. Once he arrived in the Demon Domain, even with Lu Qing'an, a Peak Great Emperor Stage expert from the Demon Domain, protecting him, he couldn't reveal his Immortal Ruins cultivation carelessly.

Otherwise, he too might be ganged up on by a group of Great Emperor experts.

So once he got there, he would have to be careful, and then even more careful!

Lu Qing'an said, "When you reach the place where the Immortal Ruins and the Demon Domain connect, send me a voice transmission. I'll come pick you up myself."

He wasn't quite at ease leaving it to someone else.

If he went in person, no one would be able to threaten He Hong's life.

He Hong laughed. "All right! I'll send you a voice transmission then! I'll get everything packed up properly!"

After ending the voice transmission, Lu Qing'an looked at Lu Zixuan, who had come closer, a gleam of excitement appearing on her pretty face.

"Dad! Is Grandpa He coming here?! And he might even live here for good?!"

She couldn't hear He Hong's voice transmission, but she could hear what her father said, so she had more or less guessed that He Hong was coming over!

Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded.

"Yay!" Lu Zixuan was overjoyed. Ever since coming here, she had still felt somewhat out of place, and if another familiar face came, she could adapt better, she thought. Then she quickly ran over to Lu Miaomiao.

"Miaomiao! I've got good news for you! Grandpa He will be coming here to see us soon!"

When Lu Miaomiao heard the good news, she jumped up and down nonstop.

"Really?! That's wonderful!!"

Hearing this, Xue Tianfei asked, "Grandpa He? Who is he?"

Lu Zixuan smiled. "A good friend of my father's from the Immortal Ruins."

"A good friend?" Xue Tianfei and Xiao Qingyi fell into thought when they heard that.

Then both of them grew curious.

They wanted to see just what sort of person this visitor from the Immortal Ruins was.

Not long afterward, Lu Qing'an suddenly received another voice transmission from He Hong.

This time, He Hong brought him another piece of news.

His former sister-in-law Xu Yunyi wanted to come over too!

She wasn't coming to stay, though; she wanted to see the two children.

She was worried that the two children might develop psychological problems after leaving home, so she was coming to check on them.

After learning this, Lu Qing'an didn't say much.

Xu Yunyi had always treated him well, not to mention the three children.

So he agreed at once and told the two of them to send him a voice transmission when they reached the border between the Immortal Ruins and the Demon Domain.

When Lu Zixuan and Lu Miaomiao learned that Xu Yunyi was coming for a visit too, both children were delighted.

"Auntie is coming too?! Hooray!" Lu Miaomiao began hopping up and down again, as if she had been given some delicious food.

Lu Zixuan was happy too. "I'll go clean the rooms for Auntie and Grandpa He first!"

Seeing that the two children were in good spirits, Lu Qing'an felt a little more at ease.

He was worried that the two children would have a hard time adjusting after coming here, but pretend they had adjusted for his sake.

He could more or less sense from Lu Zixuan's behavior that some of it was forced.

Now, seeing how happy his eldest daughter looked, it seemed the child really was happy.

When Xiao Qingyi and Xue Tianfei heard the news, they couldn't help exchanging glances.

Lu Qing'an's former sister-in-law was coming too?!

Xue Tianfei narrowed her beautiful eyes at once.

"Sisters usually not only look alike, but have similar personalities too. Good. I want to see what that woman's sister is really like!"
