Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 528 - 248: Open Source, Foundation Establishment Candidates, Deep Regret

Fu Yongfu also had self-awareness.

After all, the value and contributions made by Fu Yongshang to the family are evident.

Fu Yongdan bit her lip and hesitated:

"Sixth Brother, if... if there is a second one, do you think the Elders would give it to you or me?"

"That’s hard to say, after all, we’re not Elders, our positions are different, and so are the considerations."

Fu Yongfu spoke frankly.

Fu Yongdan actually wanted to hear some encouraging words, but she had already become anxious and worried, fantasizing one moment that she would successfully establish her Foundation, and the next moment doubting that the clan could have such a quantity of Foundation Establishment Pills.

When the Council Hall doors opened again.

Fu Yongdan saw Brother Fan come out and hurriedly took a few steps forward, eager to ask:

"Brother Fan, have the candidates been confirmed?"

"Yes, Mother asked Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother to go in once."

Fu Yongdan was stunned for a moment.

Only Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother were allowed to enter, excluding her, which meant that there were two Foundation Establishment Pills in the clan, but neither would be hers.

Fu Yongdan’s face turned pale as paper.

Brother Fan, feeling guilty, quickly came forward to comfort her softly: "Ninth Sister, you’re still young, just wait a little longer. If the clan has another Foundation Establishment Pill, you’ll surely be the first in line."

Fu Yongfu and Fu Yongshang were also brought back to reality from their joy, stepped forward to offer some consolation, but these words were clearly too weak.

Fortunately, Fu Yongdan did not lose control on the spot.

She forced a smile:

"Congratulations, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother, I wish you success in establishing your Foundation. Lady of the House is waiting inside, go in quickly, go in quickly."

With that.

She vanished like the wind from where she stood.

Returning to Alchemy Peak.

The doors slammed shut as she locked herself inside.

She buried her head and began to sob.

If there was only one Foundation Establishment Pill in the clan, she wouldn’t have been so sad, because when there’s agreement on only one, it would surely go to Fifth Brother.

But.

Clearly, there were two.

Among the three.

She was the only one who was left out.

Back then.

Sixth Brother was just tending Spirit Plants in front of Fairy Lady Cai and was the most inconspicuous among the Yong Generation, but because he caught the Patriarch’s eye, his fate was rewritten, becoming the Hall Master of the Talisman Hall, and now receiving the reward of the Foundation Establishment Pill, soon he might soar to become a Foundation Establishment Elder.

From then on, their statuses would differ like clouds and mud.

But that’s beside the point.

These days.

She shamelessly asked many clan members to exchange Contribution Points, but it ended up being a joke in the end, making her wonder how to face them in the future.

The more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt.

So much so that she didn’t even notice when someone stood behind her:

"Do you feel very aggrieved?"

Suddenly.

Liuu Meizhen’s voice sounded above her head.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yongdan was startled and hurriedly got up to pay her respects, stammering:

"Master, I....."

"Sit."

Liuu Meizhen pulled Fu Yongdan to sit down together, and casually tidied her hair:

"As your master, I couldn’t fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill for you, it’s my fault."

With those words.

Fu Yongdan was so startled she almost jumped up like a rabbit, quickly shaking her hands to deny:

"Master, you’ve always been selfless and attentive in teaching me alchemy, your kindness in teaching hasn’t been repaid yet, I definitely don’t dare nor would I bear any resentment."

"You child, look how tense you are."

Liuu Meizhen pulled her back to the chaise lounge.

How Fu Yongdan behaved.

How could she not know.

Liuu Meizhen patted her hand and pondered for a moment before speaking:

"Dan’er, since you detected your Spiritual Root, you’ve been by my side learning alchemy all these years, spending most of your time in the Alchemy Room, why not take this chance to stay at Wanning Marketplace for a few years. There, don’t bury yourself in alchemy, go out and interact with people, see different faces and landscapes, it will be greatly beneficial to your future Foundation Establishment and cultivation."

Fu Yongdan hasn’t experienced much adversity.

Her mindset requires further honing.

Otherwise.

Liuu Meizhen would not have remained silent during the Elder Council.

Given Fu Yongdan’s current mindset, even if she got the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be wasted.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yongdan’s eyes lit up:

"I’ll follow Master’s advice."

After all, for this period of time.

She couldn’t stay in the clan, and it was a good time to avoid the limelight.

.....

Elsewhere.

Fu Yongyi turned back to inform Hee Qingru, taking her back to her maiden home, and Hee Qingru was evidently surprised but equally happy.

She married into the Fu family.

Afraid others would say her heart was still at her maiden home.

She endured it.

Except for going back once a year during the New Year, she hardly went back otherwise, and finally now being pregnant, although the Lady of the House sent Nanny Liuu to take care of her at that time.

But the Lady of the House is not a real mother-in-law.

In front of Nanny Liuu, she was more restrained, living cautiously, fearing any poorly done thing getting to the Lady of the House.

Now she could finally return home.

How could she not be happy.

After being happy.

Hee Qingru calmed down a bit, hesitating:

"Husband, have you reported this to Mother?"

"Yes, Mother brought it up on her own."

"That’s good, that’s good."

Hee Qingru evidently breathed a sigh of relief, immediately instructing the maids to pack the luggage, eager to fly back home, and half an hour later, the two of them were in front of Liuu Meizhen.

Liuu Meizhen seemed to have been waiting:

"Although the Beast Tide has ended, Qingru, you are pregnant after all, just in case, you and your husband should ride your father’s Cyan Python."
