63: The clouds open
"Li Changsheng, Lin Hao, Chen Xuanfeng..."
Luo Yunkai lay comfortably on the rocking chair, murmuring these three names, his eyes full of anticipation.
And the memories of the birth mothers of his three sons gradually became clear.
Li Xiangjun, Green Willow, and also Shuangfei, Chen Shuangfei.
Green Willow was the first woman he had in this world.
She was also the woman with the best looks and temperament he could have come into contact with at that time.
At that time, Luo Yunkai did not know of the existence of the Cultivation World; he only wanted to be a soft-rice eater, to trick a Young Miss's personal maid into coming home to warm his bed.
When Green Willow got married, the Young Miss would certainly provide a generous dowry, which was what Luo Yunkai was after at the time.
There was a hint of reminiscence and disbelief in Luo Yunkai's eyes.
Everything was just so coincidental!
It just so happened that the Li Family was a branch of a Cultivation Family!
And it was such a coincidence that Green Willow and the Li Family's Young Miss were like sisters, knowing the secrets about the Cultivation World!
The innocent little maid had deep feelings for him, relied on him wholeheartedly, and had no defenses, so the existence of the Cultivation World was inadvertently leaked to him.
It was then that Luo Yunkai realized what kind of world he had come to!
Cultivate, Cultivate; who could resist the temptation of Cultivating for longevity!
Ambition grew in Luo Yunkai's heart.
The Li Family's Young Miss, Li Xiangjun, was the person closest to the Cultivation World that Luo Yunkai could reach at the time.
Therefore, Luo Yunkai racked his brains to scheme against Li Xiangjun.
From the mouth of the personal maid Green Willow, Luo Yunkai learned all of Li Xiangjun's preferences.
Step by step, he schemed until Li Xiangjun fell for him.
Luo Yunkai did not easily reveal his purpose; it was only after he had tricked her into bed and everything was settled that he showed his fangs.
He claimed that his status was low and he was afraid he was not worthy of the Young Miss, saying that he wanted to go out and work hard to strive for a future where the Li Family would not tear them apart.
Luo Yunkai sighed.
He really was not a good person!
Li Xiangjun was moved by his words and simply gave him the Cultivation Technique that her Family had given her.
As for him, Luo Yunkai, fearing that the Li Family would discover he was practicing the Cultivation Technique in private, he hurriedly said goodbye to both women and left without hesitation.
The so-called returning to marry her after achieving success and fame was all empty talk.
It was not that Luo Yunkai was truly that heartless.
It was just that once one enters the Cultivation World, one cannot control one's own fate.
As a Loose Cultivator, in order to Cultivate, Luo Yunkai naturally did all kinds of evil deeds and was ruthless, and as a result, he made countless enemies.
He dared not go back to find them, fearing he would bring danger to them.
Later...
Later, he also forgot.
Or rather, he subconsciously believed that after more than a dozen years, Li Xiangjun and Green Willow could not possibly still be waiting for him in the same place and must have already married, so he simply never went back to look for them once.
Luo Yunkai laughed at himself, "But these are all just excuses."
"I wonder how they told the children about me." Luo Yunkai felt a faint sadness.
He was afraid that Li Changsheng and Lin Hao would not be willing to acknowledge him.
As for Chen Xuanfeng's side, Luo Yunkai was not worried at all.
In his relationship with Chen Shuangfei, he, Luo Yunkai, was the real victim!
He had kindly treated and cared for her with all his might, and becoming Dao Companions was something that woman Chen Shuangfei had proposed herself in order to keep him; he, Luo Yunkai, had done nothing wrong!
As a result, she left as soon as she recovered her memory!
Causing him and his son to be separated for more than twenty years!
Luo Yunkai petty-mindedly kept this in mind!
"Speaking of Chen Shuangfei, it reminds me of another woman."
Luo Yunkai rubbed his chin, deep in thought, and muttered to himself.
"Three years after Chen Shuangfei left, a pair of Dao Companions came to Yunyin Market to investigate the circulation of some healing supplies from three years prior."
"I was just about to run when that male cultivator found me..."
Luo Yunkai's eyes gradually narrowed, hiding his sharpness.
"Borrowing a seed!"
"At the time, I just felt it was inexplicable and didn't understand what was going on. The two of them were looking for the person who saved Chen Shuangfei, and they were also looking to 'borrow a seed' from me; I thought it was some trap to confuse me."
"But that male cultivator really just let me sleep with his Dao Companion once and then let me leave."
"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the pair of Dao Companions found out about Chen Shuangfei's pregnancy, and the two of them, who had been unable to conceive for many years, came specifically to ask for my help, right?"
"Tsk! To be able to track down news about Chen Shuangfei, that pair of Dao Companions must not have had low status. Perhaps I can go through Chen Shuangfei and find another Bloodline?"
Luo Yunkai was eager to try; he wanted to go and make contact with Chen Shuangfei. Perhaps he could find out information about that pair of Dao Companions and recover another Bloodline.
Wait, wait until the supreme grade spirit cleansing pill is in hand.
The opportunity to obtain the supreme grade spirit cleansing pill was delivered to Luo Yunkai's hands faster than expected.
...
"Old man, old man, look quickly at what this is!"
Xiao Tian's voice was filled with anxiety as he recklessly rushed into Luo Yunkai's courtyard.
Luo Yunkai rocked his chair unhurriedly, with no intention of getting up.
He lazily stretched out his hand and took the green invitation card that smelled of Spiritual Plant from Xiao Tian's hand, "What, let me see, Pill Viewing Assembly invitation, City Lord of Dan City Chen..."
Luo Yunkai sat up abruptly, his eyeballs almost falling out of their sockets, and he read the invitation over and over again carefully.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Tian felt relieved.
"Old man, tell me, why did the City Lord of Dan City suddenly... Did the news that you are Big Brother Xuanfeng's biological father leak out? Is the City Lord of Dan City preparing to settle accounts with you?"
Luo Yunkai's beard twitched, and he slapped the armrest of the rocking chair with a "slap", "Nonsense!"
"Even if he wanted to find trouble with Dad, the invitation wouldn't be sent to us; it would be sent directly to Dad."
Luo Yunkai gave Xiao Tian a flick on the forehead, "Look at how smart your brother is; you only grow in height but not in brains every day."
Xiao Tian hadn't been well-fed at the Chengen Marquiss Residence, but he wasn't short; after being brought by Luo Yunkai and eating all the Yao Beast meat he wanted, in just under two months, he had become a tall guy approaching two meters.
Luo Yunkai was extremely envious.
Xiao Tian shook his head; he felt that the old man's flick didn't even count as scratching an itch.
"Then if it's not because of the old man, why would a figure like the City Lord of Dan City send me an invitation?"
Su Xin stepped over the courtyard gate, "To be precise, it is us."
As he spoke, he shook the invitation in his hand.
Xiao Tian's eyes lit up, "Brother Xin, you received one too?"
Su Xin nodded.
Xiao Tian scratched his head and asked Luo Yunkai, "Old man, what about you?"
Luo Yunkai spread his hands, "What do you think?"
Xiao Tian muttered, "Then it's really not looking for you, old man? But we don't know any City Lord of Dan City."
Su Xin was thoughtful, "I think, perhaps it is because we have been acknowledged as Second Generation Cultivators."
Xiao Tian was bewildered and simply clapped his hands, "How about we ask Big Brother Jin? He must know!"
Su Xin nodded, and Xiao Tian turned around and ran out excitedly.
Luo Yunkai called him back, "No need to go find that brat Wealthy."
"Huh?" Xiao Tian was confused.
Luo Yunkai took out a formation token.
Su Xin understood, "It seems Big Brother Jin is already outside the Immortal Cave."
A few breaths later, the chubby figure of Jin Fugui stepping on a golden abacus landed in the courtyard.
"Uncle Luo, your nephew has come to disturb you again." Jin Fugui smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, bowing pretentiously.
Luo Yunkai waved a hand, using a strand of spiritual power to flick him up, "You came just in time."
Jin Fugui used Luo Yunkai's spiritual power to stand up, "Right, I also think it's just in time."
