Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 106 - 99: Settling Down [4000-word mega - ]
"Sister Yue, everything will be okay." Lu Qingyu stepped forward and comforted Yue Miaoyin by holding her arm. She knew that 'Yue Changchun' was Yue Miaoyin's father, said to be an elder of the Luoxia Sect. It made no sense for the disciples of the sect not to know the name of their elders.
Something unknown must have happened.
After hearing this, Yue Miaoyin reluctantly nodded her head, visibly distressed.
About thirty minutes later, a figure thundered down from Jinyun Peak, their Foundation Establishment cultivation fully revealed, pushing their speed to the extreme. They appeared in front of Lu Qingfeng and the others in the blink of an eye.
"Disciple greets Elder Miaofa!"
The grey-clothed disciple who stayed behind hurriedly paid his respects upon seeing the newcomer, feeling somewhat shocked in his heart. Although Elder Miaofa had been promoted to Foundation Establishment not long ago, he had an impressive background and well-established connections within the Luoxia Sect. His excitement seemed justified, suggesting that his recent musings were correct—
"Yue Miaofa!"
"Yue Miaoyin!"
The grey-clothed disciple discreetly observed Elder Miaofa and the female senior who had come to pay respects; indeed, they bore a striking resemblance.
Lu Qingfeng was also sizing up the newcomer.
The person appeared middle-aged, wearing a white robe, with a well-composed face. Upon closer inspection, they indeed resembled Yue Miaoyin.
"This must be Sister Miaoyin's brother."
Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.
On Yue Miaoyin's side, as she looked at the newcomer, her eyes reddened and tears involuntarily rolled down her cheeks; with a choked voice carrying a bit of grievance, she whispered, "Big brother, Miaoyin is back."
...
Jinyun Peak.
Cave dwelling in the middle of the mountain.
Yue Miaofa, Yue Miaoyin, Lu Qingfeng, Lu Qingyu, Lu Qingshan took their seats in that order.
Yue Miaofa and Yue Miaoyin, siblings who had not seen each other for sixty years, thought they were separated by life and death, and had endless things to say upon reunion. Lu Qingfeng sat in silence, not wishing to interrupt.
He could now understand why, back in Upper Sun Country and Crying Swamp, Yue Miaoyin displayed a nostalgic and envious look when she saw him doting on Qingyu.
It must be the crux of the issue.
Nostalgia is inevitable.
It was evident that the siblings had a very close relationship. Despite not having seen each other for sixty years, there was no sense of estrangement. Mature and steady, Yue Miaofa, originally a city lord, showed a demeanor somewhat similar to Qingyu in the presence of her brother.
No wonder she got along so well with Qingyu.
After a long conversation, Yue Miaoyin finally wiped her tears and turned to Lu Qingfeng, saying, "I apologize for making you see this."
"It's only natural."
"If Qingyu didn't see me for sixty years, she would probably fare worse than Sister."
Lu Qingfeng laughed.
Qingyu, who was sitting beside him, leaned closer to her elder brother without saying a word. In a situation like this, neither Lu Qingshan nor Lu Qingyu would interrupt casually, letting their big brother take the lead.
"I, Yue Miaofa, am deeply grateful to Disciple Lu for giving us siblings the chance to reunite!"
Yue Miaofa suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Qingfeng.
"You shouldn't, it was just a helping hand."
Lu Qingfeng swiftly stepped aside, then looked towards Yue Miaoyin.
"Big brother, Disciple Lu isn't used to such formalities; let's gradually repay this great favor over time!" Yue Miaoyin smoothed things over for Lu Qingfeng.

Upon hearing this, Yue Miaofa quickly nodded and responded, "Certainly. If Disciple Lu needs anything in the future, your brother will do everything in his power without refusal!"
Following some pleasantries, the host and guests took their seats.
Yue Miaofa looked at Lu Qingfeng and asked, "Disciple Lu, what are your plans moving forward? I heard from Miaoyin that you're still an entry-level Alchemist, Artifact Refiner. With such credentials, if you wish to join our Luoxia Sect, the position of a Guest Elder is assured for you, with benefits even beyond mine."
Alchemist.
Artifact Refiner.
Any one of these titles would allow Lu Qingfeng to easily join the Luoxia Sect and become a Guest Elder with considerable benefits. Yue Miaofa offered all his connections without hesitation, ensuring there was no difficulty.
"That would be perfect. Qingfeng thanks Elder Miaofa first!"
Lu Qingfeng was planning to use this position at Luoxia Sect to start from Ten Thousand Miles Gathering Cloud Mountain Range, delve into the Cultivation World, and understand the situation in the entire Biyang Lake Territory. Having the status of a Guest Elder from the Luoxia Sect would undoubtedly make things much easier. For Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu, too, who were still in their growing phase, there would be no reason for Lu Qingfeng to refuse.
"You are too polite, Disciple!"
"Having an entry-level Alchemist, Artifact Refiner joining is something the Luoxia Sect profoundly desires. Recommending talents to the sect also comes with rewards; speaking of it, I am actually indebted to you."
Due to Yue Miaoyin, Yue Miaofa treated Lu Qingfeng with great respect.
A few words settled everything. After that, Yue Miaofa led Lu Qingfeng and his siblings to rest in the guest room, then took Yue Miaoyin away. It had been sixty years since Yue Miaoyin had returned, and some matters needed to be reported to the sect. There were also visits to her grandaunt and numerous small tasks to attend to.
...
"Big brother, will we live on Jinyun Peak from now on?"
Lu Qingyu sat on a bench, feeling uninspired by the guest room's environment, and asked while standing in front of Lu Qingfeng.
The years had passed.
Lu Qingshan was now twenty-six, and Qingyu was twenty-four. Unknowingly, they were no longer the teary boy and dark-skinned girl from Black Wood Village back then.
The former wore modest traditional clothes, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, exuding a bit of a worldly aura.
The latter, dressed in a pale green gown with fair skin and beautiful features, long hair cascading like a waterfall, would surely be sought after as a transcendent fairy if placed among ordinary people.
The two had always been by Lu Qingfeng's side, apart from those two years Qingyu grew a bit in Upper Sun Country, while Qingyu still retained her childhood disposition.
Being carefree was also a good thing.
However, the path of cultivation is long and obstructed; eventually, they had to face various situations on their own and needed to let go and grow.
The Luoxia Sect might be a good starting point.
"Do you want to stay on Jinyun Peak, or not?" Lu Qingfeng asked in response. For him, whether or not to stay on Jinyun Peak wasn't a significant issue. However, considering Qingyu and Qingshan's perspective, Jinyun Mountain was the location of the Luoxia Sect's sect gate, with hundreds of official disciples, which could greatly aid their growth and cultivation.
