Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 684 - 287: Cyan Python Becomes a Jiao, Two Golden Core Favors, Joys and Sorrows of the Mortal World

As soon as these words were spoken.

Luo Haitang couldn’t help but take a closer look at Fu Changsheng, with a slight smile on his lips, then turned to exchange a glance with Governor Li.

Governor Li cleared his throat lightly.

He nodded with satisfaction at how perceptive Fu Changsheng was:

"Even though it’s true, it’s rather rare for you to notice the clues before others. As a reward, the two of us promise to grant you one request. Go ahead, what do you want?"

A request?

The first thing that Fu Changsheng thought of was the Star Stone, followed by awakening the soul to break through the Third Barrier of the Purple Mansion and the Soul-Attracting Pill to move the Niwan Palace’s auxiliary spiritual object.

However.

Just as he was about to speak.

He immediately swallowed his words.

The two in front of him could at any time step into the Golden Core Realm, and exchanging for a Soul-Attracting Pill would be too much of a loss.

It would be better to save this favor.

If there is a big need in the future, it’s not too late to mention it then.

Therefore, Fu Changsheng cupped his hands again:

"To be appreciated by Lord Li and Elder Luo is already more than enough for Changsheng. I dare not ask for any reward."

Truly a shrewd person.

Luo Haitang put down the tea cup in his hand.

He found himself more interested in this Eighth-Grade Noble Family Head under the Luo family’s banner.

Governor Li also laughed heartily at these words.

They were all smart people.

Everyone understood each other and didn’t bring it up again.

However, Fu Changsheng still had one more thing to ask:

"Two seniors, I heard that this attack on the marketplace by the Yinan Tribe was orchestrated by Qiuu Kui. Has this culprit already been captured?"

At that time, Luo Haitang only said that Governor Li had chased after him.

Upon hearing this.

Governor Li’s face showed an unnatural expression:

"Qiuu Kui fled all the way, and when he reached the junction of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area and the Eastern Wilderness, this bastard suddenly changed his mind and slipped into the Third Layer of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area."

The Third Layer of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area is known for being an entrance with no exit.

Fu Changsheng let out a breath of relief.

He had initially intended to probe whether the court had plans to counterattack the Yinan Tribe, but seeing Governor Li already lifting his tea cup, he realized it was time to leave. After cupping his hands in farewell, he withdrew.

Having left the Main Hall.

Master Xu, who had been guarding the entrance for quite some time, saw Fu Changsheng come out safe and sound, and she visibly relaxed.

She gestured for Fu Changsheng to follow her into a side hall.

After closing the Array.

She immediately gave a deep bow to Fu Changsheng.

"Master Xu, what is this, please rise quickly."

Fu Changsheng hurriedly helped her up.

Master Xu, however, looked grateful. If Fu Changsheng hadn’t sent a timely message, she might have already fallen under the sword of the Southern Barbarians, and the entire South Huai World Suppression Bureau would have been destroyed. If the court investigated, even the Xu family would be more or less implicated.

This was more than just a life-saving grace.

Such great kindness, she would remember forever.

After they both took their seats.

Master Xu finally said:

"Fu Clan Leader, after the turmoil in the marketplace subsides, I will likely be reassigned from South Huai. Before that, within the limits of my authority, if there is anything I can do to help your Fu family, please feel free to ask."

"Furthermore,

"If Fu Clan Leader is willing, once I return to my family, I will certainly select a good girl to marry into your Fu family."

"Of course, if Fu Clan Leader wishes to marry a girl into our Xu family, our Xu family will certainly welcome her warmly."

An alliance marriage?!

Fu Changsheng was moved.

The resources of North Huai Prefecture were far better than those of South Huai.

If he could, through the Xu family, expand the family’s territory into North Huai Prefecture, it would be ideal.

At that, he did not hesitate to cup his hands and say:

"To have the honor of forming an alliance with Master Xu’s Xu family is the good fortune of my Fu family. Changsheng is most willing."

The two of them were quite in agreement.

However, Fu Changsheng had not yet decided on the choice of the marriage candidate, planning to make a decision upon his return to his fiefdom.

Finally.

He submitted the Southern Barbarian heads from his storage bag. With the accumulated ones from before, the Fu family’s Court Merit Points reached five thousand, still quite short of the upgrade to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family.

At this moment.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

"Ding"

"You have earned one thousand Court Merit Points for the family, gaining five hundred Clan Contribution Points"

Soon after.

The contribution points on the panel changed to six thousand.

After exiting the World Suppression Bureau.

The month-long investigation period ended. Once it was safe to freely enter and exit the marketplace, Fu Changsheng hurried back to his fiefdom in Yunshan County.

Since the Thousand Soul Jade was already in hand, he naturally seized the time to cultivate the Third Layer of the "Great Derivation Technique." Once perfected, he would use the Profound Yin Grass to open the Niwan Palace and become a Half-Step Purple Mansion!

Thus, he entrusted the family’s miscellaneous affairs to his third brother, Fu Changlii.

Then chose to enter seclusion.

After the door to the Secret Chamber was closed.

Fu Changsheng focused his thoughts on the Training Room and immediately willed it:

"Open the Training Room"

Buzz!

The panel vibrated.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

The next moment, his vision blurred.

In an instant.

He found himself in the familiar Quiet Chamber, the scent of Concentration Incense in the air calming his previous excitement.

"Phew"

He took a deep breath.

And began to inventory the gains from his marketplace journey.

At the auction.

He successfully bid on two treasures, one was a Message Tree, the other was Phoenix Blood Wood.

With the Phoenix Blood Wood, all that remained for setting up the Celestial Secret Array were the Dragon Scale Stone and Void Spirit Mica. Then, he would be able to open the Secret Realm, and Brother Rong would be able to emerge from it.

Fu Changsheng focused his thoughts on the Message Tree in the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden.

According to the intelligence provided.

This Message Tree was left by an Ascendant Cultivator, meaning if the other party was still alive, he might be able to contact them.
