Script of Reincarnation

The news of Bai Qinglan’s pregnancy was not immediately revealed to anyone.

Neither Lu Yang nor Bai Qinglan spoke about it outside their courtyard, and even the servants and maids who occasionally entered their residence knew nothing.

For the first few months, the two of them behaved exactly as they had before.

They cultivated, rested, occasionally talked beneath the pavilion, and continued living their ordinary lives.

Only sometimes would their gazes occasionally fall upon Bai Qinglan’s abdomen. At those moments, an inexplicable warmth would appear within their eyes.

They had waited for this day for more than forty years, naturally, they didn’t want to take any risks.

The cultivation world was far too complicated and cruel.

Even within the Lu Family, not everyone could be trusted with every secret.

Although Lu Yang and Bai Qinglan possessed extremely high, almost transcendent positions within the clan, their child had not yet been born.

A Spirit Awakening cultivator might be powerful enough to suppress hundreds of Body Tempering cultivators, but an unborn child possessed no ability to protect themselves.

If the news somehow leaked outside the clan, there was no guarantee that another force wouldn’t attempt something.

A genius was valuable, and the unborn descendant of a genius was just as valuable.

There were countless methods in the cultivation world that Lu Yang had never even heard of, and he wasn’t willing to test the depths of human malice through his own child.

Thus, only after several months had passed did Lu Yang finally decide to tell a few people.

The first was naturally the Internal Affairs Grand Elder.

When the old man heard the news, he was stunned, staring at the other party with wide eyes for several breaths.

"You’re serious?"

Lu Yang nodded.

The Internal Affairs Grand Elder immediately broke into a hearty laughter.

"Good, good, good!"

His laughter echoed throughout the courtyard, and his aged face seemed to have become several years younger in that instant.

"This is wonderful!"

He looked towards Bai Qinglan with an expression filled with joy.

"The heavens have truly blessed my Lu Family!"

Bai Qinglan smiled gently, "We didn’t want to announce it too early, we hope the elder won’t take any offense."

The Internal Affairs Grand Elder immediately understood, nodding solemnly.

After all, he had lived for more than a century and naturally understood the dangers of the cultivation world better than most.

"Trivial matters; you were absolutely right to do that. This matter must remain restricted to the highest level of the family."

Lu Yang nodded, "That’s what I intended."

Soon afterwards, Lu Tianhe and Lu Qingyu were informed.

When Lu Tianhe heard the news, his expression was somewhat strange.

He looked at Lu Yang, speaking in a flat tone.

"So the reason it took forty years wasn’t because there was a problem with you, but just a matter of fate..."

Lu Yang’s complexion darkened at these words, causing Lu Tianhe to hurriedly look away in another direction, suddenly very interested in the flowers planted around the courtyard.

Lu Qingyu, on the other hand, was delighted.

"Whether it is a boy or girl doesn’t matter. As long as the child is healthy, that’s enough."

Having no children or partner of her own, she very much liked looking after the juniors of the clan, just like the Internal Affairs Grand Elder.

The Old Family Head was the final person to learn of it.

At this time, he was already extremely old, being a little older than the Internal Affairs Grand Elder, with a foot in the grave.

His cultivation had reached the Sixth Stage of Spirit Awakening Realm many years ago, but his lifespan was nearing its end.

When he heard the news, he was silent for a long while. Eventually, he just smiled and said one word.

"Good!"

However, his eyes were slightly moist at this moment.

He had watched Lu Yang grow from a five-year old child into the strongest cultivator of the Lu Family.

Now, before the end of his own life, he was going to witness the birth of Lu Yang’s child.

He had failed many people throughout his life, but for some reason, he felt that his greatest achievement was nurturing this peerless prodigy.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if near the end of his lifespan, he had touched upon something ethereal and otherworldly.

...

The months passed extremely quickly.

Bai Qinglan’s abdomen gradually became larger.

Her cultivation was naturally affected to some extent, and Lu Yang became considerably more cautious than before.

He would use his Divine Sense to examine her condition almost daily without fail, even reducing his total cultivation time.

Every time he detected the steadily growing vitality, a strange feeling would appear within his heart.

Sometimes, Lu Yang would sit beneath the pavilion and silently sense the tiny vitality.

He couldn’t help wondering what kind of person this child would eventually become.

Perhaps they would inherit his talent, perhaps they would inherit Bai Qinglan’s temperament, perhaps they would possess neither, perhaps they would become an ordinary mortal...

But in the end, it didn’t matter.

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more he realized that he genuinely didn’t care.

In the cultivation world, almost everyone desired talented descendants.

Powerful bloodlines, extraordinary physiques, innate talents...

All of these things were regarded as treasures.

Yet, Lu Yang had already lived three lives, two of whom were spent in the cultivation world.

He had seen too many people become obsessed with talent and cultivation, only to die in pursuit of something that could never be grasped.

Just like his past life self.

If his child possessed extraordinary talent, he would naturally be happy, and if they didn’t, he would still protect them.

...

Eventually, the day of childbirth arrived.

The Lu Family had already known about the pregnancy by then.

Although the news had been concealed for as long as possible, such a major matter couldn’t remain secret forever.

However, by this point, nobody within the Lu Family dared to harbor any ill intentions.

Lu Yang was already the strongest cultivator of the clan, and his reputation had long spread throughout Canglan Prefecture after the battle against the Wu Family.

At the same time, everyone knew that this man was only seventy years old, not even in his old age, with a long future ahead of him.

Even those who once considered testing the Lu Family’s weakness had gradually become cautious.

Thus, the child’s birth did not cause any disturbances.

The delivery itself was surprisingly peaceful.

When the first cry echoed through the room, Lu Yang, who had been pacing outside the room, suddenly froze.

For someone who had experienced many battles and faced death more than once, this tiny sound caused his heart to tremble more than any enemy ever had.

A maid hurried out of the room.

"Fourth Elder!"

Lu Yang immediately stood up, "How is Qinglan?"

"Madam is safe." The maid smiled.

"And the child?"

The maid’s expression became even more excited at his question.

"The child is safe too; congratulations, Fourth Elder, it’s a girl!"

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, a faint smile spreading across his face as he entered the room.

Bai Qinglan was lying on the bed, her face somewhat pale from exhaustion, tense nerves finally relaxing slightly after hours.

For a Spirit Awakening cultivator, childbirth was not a major issue, but it still ultimately left them a bit weakened, only able to utilize around two or three tenths of their strength for a day or two before recovering.

The moment Bai Qinglan saw Lu Yang, a smile appeared on her face.

Beside her was a tiny infant wrapped in white cloth.

Lu Yang walked over, holding Bai Qinglan’s hand as he looked down at the small figure.

For several seconds, he simply stared at the infant in a daze.

The baby was extremely small, her skin was still slightly red, her eyes were closed, and her tiny fingers occasionally moved beneath the cloth.

This was his daughter, his first child across three lifetimes.

Lu Yang carefully extended his Divine Sense.

He couldn’t determine the child’s cultivation aptitude yet, as such things wouldn’t truly manifest until she grew older.

However, the Divine Sense of a Sixth Stage Spirit Awakening cultivator was already extraordinarily powerful.

He carefully examined her bones, and after several breaths, his expression relaxed.

The child’s bone structure was exceptionally healthy, there was no obvious congenital defect, and her vitality was considerably stronger than that of an ordinary newborn. She possessed an excellent physical foundation.

Whether she would ultimately become a cultivator was still unknown, but at the very least, she had a high chance of possessing cultivation talent.

Lu Yang withdrew his Divine Sense and comforted Bai Qinglan until she fell asleep before walking out.

The Old Family Head and the Internal Affairs Grand Elder, who had been waiting outside, immediately looked towards him.

"How is the child?" They asked in unison.

Lu Yang smiled, "Very healthy."

The two old men simultaneously breathed sighs of relief.

It didn’t matter whether the child was a boy or girl, what mattered was whether she possessed cultivation aptitude.

After all, Lu Yang was the greatest genius the Lu Family had produced in its two centuries of existence.

If his lineage ended without producing another cultivator, it would truly be a pity.

Even if his daughter couldn’t reach his level, merely possessing the opportunity to embark upon the path of cultivation was already enough.

On that day, Lu Yang and Bai Qinglan’s daughter, Lu Qingxue, was born.
