Chapter 377: Chapter 284: Lu Xuan Arrives, Bringing Joy to All
At this moment, two more people stepped out slowly from the main hall, both dressed in elegant white attire with an extraordinary demeanor, embodying the style of famous family heirs.
The man walking at the forefront looked about nineteen years old, tall and slightly plump—it was none other than Liang Cheng.
He glanced down at his outfit, his lips slightly upturned, showing a self-satisfied expression.
"It seems that I haven’t lost my charm over the years,"
Liang Cheng narcissistically remarked, "After day-by-day practice at the Profound Bird Guard, I thought this glorious appearance of mine might fade with time."
The young man standing next to Liang Cheng was Lu Yunqing, also from the Profound Bird Guard.
Lu Yunqing was long accustomed to his cousin Liang Cheng’s narcissism and was too lazy to respond as he directly walked towards Lu Jiahe.
"Father, you don’t need to worry."
Lu Yunqing said firmly, "From my understanding of elder brother, if he knows that the little sister has successfully given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, he must already be on his way."
"Elder brother must have been delayed by some trivial matters, which is why he couldn’t make it back in time."
Lu Yunqing patted his chest and assured his father Lu Jiahe, "Father, elder brother has never let us down, and he won’t in the future either!"
Just like the past, the future will surely be the same!
Liang Cheng finally caught up at this moment and seamlessly joined the conversation to comfort.
"That’s it!"
"Uncle!"
"You know Xuan’s skills better than anyone!"
"You can be completely reassured."
"Six months ago, Mr. Fen mentioned to Yun Qing and me."
"Xuan returned, but had some minor issues to deal with."
"Once Xuan finishes, he will naturally return."
Liang Cheng and the others understood well Lu Jiahe’s thoughts.
He came out here just to see if Lu Xuan appeared.
Listening to their words, Lu Jiahe’s brows slightly relaxed, though his eyes still carried a hint of worry.
He sighed and said, "You’re right, Xuan is always steady and dependable, won’t let us down."
When Shen Yunwei heard Liang Cheng mention Lu Xuan’s name, his thoughts drifted, and Lu Xuan’s figure emerged in his mind.
That youth, so young yet always so calm, as if he could face any calamity with ease.
Lu Xuan!
"It’s Xiaoxuan!"
Shen Yunwei murmured softly.
That young man always brought an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
"Lu, don’t worry too much, let’s go inside and sit."
"Let these young ones handle these matters."
Shen Yunwei was about to have his sons replace him in hosting the guests at the mansion.
Right then!
A few lively, cheerful voices full of laughter reached Lu Jiahe and the others nearby.
"Wow, everyone is here, how neat!"
"It’s so lively here, Lu!"
"That’s right, thanks to you, Lu."
"Thanks to your fortune, Lu, it’s been a long time since my old bones felt such excitement, truly nostalgic!"
Before the voice fell completely, three shadowy figures swiftly swept over from above the mansion, and within moments, they passed through the throngs of people and landed steadily in front of Shen Yunwei and others.
With their appearance, all eyes were drawn to them, including the many guests who came to the Shen Family banquet.
Shen Yunwei, Lu Jiahe, and others turned to look at the sound.
For a moment, the entire room’s focus gathered on the three.
Their positioning was particularly unique.
On both sides were two elderly men with white hair and beards, the years had etched deep and shallow wrinkles on their faces, yet couldn’t conceal the calmness of their presence.
Occupying the center was a young man, tall and majestic, dressed in dark black brocade embroidered with dark patterns.
The subtle light reflected under sunlight, with each cut perfectly accentuating his remarkable demeanor.
One of the elders raised his hand, gently stroking his beard, and his warm smile, sharp gaze scanned the surroundings leisurely, conveying a sense of ease and composure.
These two elders, in fact, were Li Chengfeng and Li Chengxing who hastily arrived from White Dao Prefecture.
Why were they in such a rush?
It’s quite amusing—shamelessly trying to absorb some joy from this great celebration for good luck.
Lu Xuan felt speechless upon hearing their reason, secretly mocking their somewhat far-fetched logic.
However, Lu Xuan ultimately did not refuse their request.
Because, after contemplating briefly.
Very well!
He might as well use this opportunity for the Li Family to become acquainted with the Shen Family.
In the future, if the Shen Family faces difficulties, they can go to White Dao Prefecture to seek help from Li Chengfeng.
Having more options provides more opportunities.
When the group from the Lu Family saw the face of the young man standing in the middle.
Their ordinary gazes were instantly filled with shock, and everyone’s eyes gradually widened, as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Then, an uncontrollable joy quickly spread across their faces, unable to be suppressed.
"Xuan!"
Lu Jiahe was the first to blurt out, his voice carrying a few degrees of disbelief followed by joy.
"It’s Xiaoxuan!"
Shen Yunwei’s voice trembled slightly; he, too, felt unparalleled joy at Lu Xuan’s appearance.
"Big brother!"
Lu Yun’an and Lu Yunqing, both raised their voices in excitement, revealing their youthful nature, and their eyes were full of the joy of reunion with their elder brother.
"Xuan!"
Liang Cheng also shouted, his voice slightly off-key from excitement, his body uncontrollably trembling with emotion.
"Father!"
"Mr. Shen!"
Lu Xuan’s voice was calm and powerful, exuding a reassuring strength.
Then, as Lu Xuan walked steadily and composedly to Lu Jiahe and Shen Yunwei, he simply nodded slightly, his gaze revealing a touch of gentleness and respect.
Though there were no extravagant words or complex ceremonies, this simple gesture was Lu Xuan’s way of expressing his emotions.
Lu Jiahe quickly stepped forward, gripping Lu Xuan’s shoulders tightly, his eyes full of gratification and excitement: "Very good, Xuan, you’ve finally returned!"
"Good, good, it’s good to be back!"
As Lu Jiahe murmured to himself, he carefully examined Lu Xuan’s complexion.
From his face to his physique, missing no details, full of worry whether his son had suffered any harm while away.
After thoroughly observing, Lu Jiahe saw his son with a healthy complexion, steady breath, and a vibrant energy.
His previously hanging heart finally settled, and he slowly released his hands.
Shen Yunwei also walked up with a smile, patting Lu Xuan on the shoulder, his tone filled with paternal affection: "Xiaoxuan, you’ve had a hard journey."
"Let’s go inside and rest for a while first!"
At this moment, one of the main hosts had finally arrived, and Shen Yunwei was sincerely happy.
Now, no guest was more important than Lu Xuan and the Lu Family’s arrival—that was enough.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your concern."
At this time, the laid-back Liang Cheng also excitedly surrounded Lu Xuan.
And Liang Cheng’s movements were very familiar, casually placing his right hand on Lu Xuan’s shoulder, with a large grin, joking.
"Xuan, you really kept us waiting!"
"This got everyone quite anxious!"
Liang Cheng didn’t realize that his seemingly casual gesture was resting upon someone who stood at the pinnacle of cultivation in the Great Xia Dynasty.
A Nascent Soul Supreme!
If Liang Cheng knew this fact, he might just leap with excitement.
In the future, he could boast about it for a lifetime.
Beside him, Lu Yunqing was somewhat reserved in front of his elder brother, his tone full of reverence: "Big brother, with your return, our Lu Family will be bustling."
"With the dragon and phoenix twins of Little Sister and your return, it’s a double blessing for our Lu Family!"
At this moment, Li Chengfeng and Li Chengxing, these two, also slowly approached.
"Father, Mr. Shen, these two are my friends from the Profound Bird Guard!"
"Xuan Envoy of White Dao Prefecture, Li Chengfeng, and Deputy Director of Profound Bird Guard, Li Chengxing!"
"Ah, ah, greetings to the two gentlemen!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiahe and Shen Yunwei’s faces instantly showed surprise and were quick to prepare to bow, still saying, "Greetings to the two gentlemen!"
However, just as Lu Jiahe and Shen Yunwei started to bend slightly.
An invisible yet majestic force subtly supported them, preventing the two from continuing to bow.
"Ah!"
Li Chengxing quickly spoke to stop them, a gentle smile on his face, "This is not necessary! We are here today as friends of Lu Xuan."
"Such grand gestures, we truly cannot deserve."
Regarding their exchange of pleasantries, Lu Xuan was not overly concerned.
Finally, Lu Xuan’s gaze fell in the direction of the inner courtyard, where he could already sense his younger sister’s location.
Lu Xuan softly said, "Father, I’ll go see Little Sister and the children first."
Lu Jiahe, with a face full of smiles, nodded and said, "Go ahead, your sister and your two little nephews are both waiting for your return."
Saying that, Lu Jiahe turned to look at Li Chengfeng and Li Chengxing, then said, "Shen and I will stay here to entertain these two old friends."
After a brief moment of amiable conversation, Lu Jiahe had already become familiar with Li Chengxing, each calling the other brother, the atmosphere quite harmonious.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly, then took steps towards the inner courtyard. Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing exchanged a glance before quickly following.
In the inner courtyard, within a quiet and cozy main room, stood five or six ready maids outside the door.
Inside the room, Lu Qingqing lay lazily on a soft bed, her complexion still a bit pale, but the happiness and satisfaction between her brows were undeniable.
Shen Yuan stood to the side, each arm steadily holding a child.
Looking at the two children in his arms, Shen Yuan’s face was overflowing with unconcealable happiness.
