Chapter 958: Chapter 926: Bloodline Technique

Amidst the anticipation of the three, Lu Ping collected his thoughts and organized his words, then began to recount the story.

Starting from the initial meeting with Li Zhilu in Lingxi State and their adventures in the Cultivation Realm.

And then the mutual feelings developed, their private promise to spend their lives together.

Next was the founding of the Cyan Mountain Sect, and the birth of their three children: Lu Yuanshan, Lu Changfeng, and Lu Zhiwei, beginning a happy life...

Finally, his three-decade seclusion came, leaving the Cyan Mountain Sect in Lu Yuanshan’s hands, encountering chaos, waking to find the sect on the brink of dissolution, and his wife missing...

The bygone events unfurled like a slowly opening scroll.

Li Zhilu listened with utmost seriousness.

Her instincts told her that everything the man before her said was true.

Thus, her feeling shifted from initial curiosity in listening to happiness, then to strong empathy, and finally to nostalgia.

Though her memories were missing, the love for her husband deeply rooted in her heart still existed genuinely.

She realized that she held no doubt about the words coming from Lu Ping’s mouth.

Instead, she could clearly sense that before losing her memory, Lu Ping was someone very important and cared for by her.

This sense of care and importance seemed etched into her bones, unable to be erased and wouldn’t be annulled by the loss of memory.

Familiarity gradually emerged, not only for Lu Ping but also for Lingxi State, the Cyan Mountain Sect, and their three children, Lu Yuanshan. She could confidently tell herself that she indeed experienced these events before.

These were things present within her memory.

Previously, she had lost them, but now they resurfaced, and some deeply rooted memories returned as well.

"I have three children." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Yuanshan, Changfeng, Zhiwei..."

Li Zhilu mumbled to herself, a tenderness showing in her eyes.

Even though she couldn’t recall the appearances of these three children, her heart subtly trembled at their mention.

Clearly, her body’s instincts were also telling her that these three held a significant connection to her.

What Lu Ping mentioned must be true.

Even if she couldn’t recall every detail from those years or what transpired.

"Zhilu has children over in Lingxi State."

Listening to Lu Ping’s tale, Li Qianye opened his mouth, a bit unsettled that there altogether were four children.

However, it was just a fleeting unease before he regained his composure,

When Li Zhilu first returned to the Li Family, she was already pregnant. Given her personality and conduct, she certainly wouldn’t have been pregnant before marriage; she must have already been married.

It’s just that at the time, the family was neglected and surrounded by crises, with time being tight, which left no option but to involve Li Zhilu in battles, leaving no time for inquiries into her travels outside.

Thus, after the beast tide crisis was settled and she was hit by the Heart-removing Curse, the Li Family discovered that Li Zhilu was pregnant, still in its early stages, so it wasn’t apparent yet.

Therefore, this incident happened so coincidentally; no one knew where the child came from or who the father was.

What experiences had Li Zhilu undergone outside?

Now, hearing Lu Ping recount those past events, many doubts in their hearts were also resolved.

They each possessed strong judgment, and thus, there wouldn’t be doubts about the truthfulness of Lu Ping’s words.

Based on strength alone, if Lu Ping harbored malice toward the Li Family, he could easily destroy or control them as puppets, so there was no need for this façade.

"So it turns out, Elder, you are indeed Shu Wan’s biological father, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Li Mingxu spoke with a smile, no longer doubting Lu Ping’s identity, bowing to Lu Ping with happiness all over his face.

His joy stemmed, for one, from witnessing Li Shuwan’s biological father appearing, allowing Li Zhilu to reunite with her husband at last.

Additionally, because the Li Family gained a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

No matter which aspect, both were regarded as joyful matters for the Li Family.

"Hahaha, good, good, good."

Li Qianye couldn’t hold back either. He only felt that having this bloodline connection immediately brought him much closer to Lu Ping, with laughter etched across his brows.

"It’s delightful and worth celebrating that you can reunite today. I’ll promptly have Shuwan come over. She often talks about you, Elder."

While speaking, Li Qianye communicated within the family, summoning Li Shuwan.

Regarding this, Li Zhilu first looked at Lu Ping, seeing that he didn’t refuse, she tacitly agreed.

Soon after, a figure came in from outside the hall, it was Li Shuwan.

After entering, she was unaware of why she had been summoned, thus she first greeted Li Qianye and Li Mingxu.

Only after finishing her salutations did she notice Li Zhilu and Lu Ping.

Her gaze landed on Lu Ping.

"Greetings, Elder."

Again, a salutation, yet the tone was calmer, lacking the warmth given to family members.

Being addressed as Elder by his own daughter brought a wry smile to Lu Ping’s face, and Li Zhilu smiled too, not rushing to have Li Shuwan change her form of address.

Li Qianye, on the other hand, chuckled, rectifying, "Shuwan, from now on, you’ll need to change how you address him; this is your father."

Upon those words, Li Shuwan’s expression visibly froze for a moment, observing Lu Ping more closely, with surprise etching her features, turning her gaze toward Li Zhilu again.

Seeing Li Zhilu offering no correction, as if acknowledging the fact.

According to her mother’s reaction, no objection meant no deliberate concealing. Hence, was this Elder Lu, who once saved the family, truly her father?

The father she once longed for now stood before her.

At that moment, Li Shuwan was at a loss for words on how to address him.

Even the word "father" wouldn’t escape her lips, believing silently watching as suffice.

After all, the revelation came too abruptly for her to ever predict that Lu Ping was her father.

"No need to doubt, with Elder Lu’s identity and power, he wouldn’t deceive us. Bringing you here was to share this good news promptly."

Li Qianye said with a smile.

Now, indeed, looking at Lu Ping and Li Shuwan, there’s a feeling that their features bore some resemblance, as if father and daughter.

Regarding bloodline verification through blood, it wasn’t necessary quite.

A cultivator’s higher cultivation could naturally examine blood relations.

Bloodline Techniques distributed within the Cultivation Realm enable basic parentage tests.

Seeing his daughter, Lu Ping’s eyes softened, needing time to adapt after years apart feeling so foreign now.

Therefore, Lu Ping suggested using the Bloodline Technique for verification in public, giving the Li Family a 100% thorough account, reassuring them of his origins.
