Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 529 - 248: Open Source, Foundation Establishment Candidates, Deep Regret

Before Fu Changsheng went into seclusion.

He left the Cyan Python and the Autumn Cicada with Meizhen.

The Cyan Python is at the Tier Two Peak.

Hee Qingru was momentarily flattered, hastily waving her hand to refuse, only to see Fu Yongyi already clasping his hands: "In that case, thank you, Mother, on behalf of the child."

After leaving the courtyard.

They mounted the Cyan Python and flew a certain distance.

At this moment, Hee Qingru became aware.

Previously, when Jade Lotus was pregnant, there wasn’t such treatment. Her husband was merely an adopted son; Mother must have other intentions with this gesture.

This time her husband accompanied her back to her maternal home.

He must have another mission.

Hee Qingru observed carefully and indeed found her husband more tense than usual.

However.

Since her husband didn’t mention it.

She sensibly didn’t ask.

...

Hee Family Mountain.

Patrolling the mountain, Hee Jiumei saw from afar a rolling mass of demon qi, frightened that another Beast Tide was about to sweep through, she was about to activate a Communication Talisman but was stopped by a glare from Hee Qingshang:

"It’s the Tier Two Peak Cyan Python of Patriarch Fu."

Hee Jiumei was taken aback for a moment.

Blinking, she said:

"But didn’t Father say earlier that Patriarch Fu went into seclusion?"

The two sisters had almost messed up the marriage alliance with Fu Yongyi at the matchmaking banquet, resulting in them being incarcerated at Repentance Cliff, only released when the Beast Tide erupted.

Hee Jiumei was still as brash as ever.

But Hee Qingshang had changed quite a bit, at least her temper as a Miss had considerably subdued.

When the demonic wind drew near.

The people on the Cyan Python became clearly visible.

Hee Jiumei secretly spat, muttering:

"Why is it that wench!"

Back then, at the banquet, Hee Qingru had stood up and said a few polite words, unexpectedly leading to her ascending branches like a phoenix, becoming the Dao Companion of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in one fell swoop.

The Fu Yongyi they looked down upon.

They would never have imagined.

That he would achieve Foundation Establishment!

Hee Jiumei felt a pang of deep regret, thinking if only she had volunteered to marry him back then.

As the Cyan Python appeared.

The Hee Clan Leader, who had received the news, personally came out to welcome them.

Smiling broadly, he led the Fu Yongyi couple through the main gate of the Reception Hall, usually opened only for honored guests, while the Hee family members looked at the Cyan Python, now transformed into an earring hanging from Fu Yongyi’s lobe, and discussed among themselves:

"Look, you all said that the son-in-law was an adopted son and not favored in the Fu Family, but now even the Spirit Pet of Patriarch Fu can be carried by the son-in-law. Who could compare with such honor."

"Exactly, I say Miss Sixteen truly hit the jackpot. Not long after getting married, the son-in-law reached Foundation Establishment, and I heard that the Fu Family might soon be promoted to an Eighth-Grade Noble Family. In the future, Miss Sixteen would be part of an Eighth-Grade Noble Family; even Aunt Qiu would wake up laughing in her dreams."

"Who says otherwise, you see, now Aunt Qiu’s treatment is only half a tier lower than the Clan Leader’s wife. Back then, Aunt Qiu was merely a furnace worker at the Alchemy Peak."

"That’s what they call gaining prestige through one’s children!"

"...."

The chatter among the clan members fell into Hee Jiumei’s ears, making her both envious and jealous. Then her eyes shifted, and she gracefully adjusted her hair by her temples.

With looks more alluring than Hee Qingru by several degrees.

Given that Fu Yongyi has achieved Foundation Establishment, he surely wouldn’t just be served by one woman.

Hee Qingshang, standing beside, saw through her little schemes right away, cursing inwardly:

"You shameless hussy!"

Then turned and left.

...

In the Reception Hall.

After Hee Qingru greeted the Hee Clan Leader, she sensibly found an excuse to withdraw, only to be surrounded by the other clan members as soon as she stepped out of the hall.

Among them.

A significant portion wanted to leverage Hee Qingru’s connection to place people by Fu Yongyi’s side.

Aunt Qiu briskly came over, shooing away the scheming clan members, heading into the backyard with her daughter by her side.

After sealing the Array.

Aunt Qiu immediately dropped the flamboyant expression she had in front of others, revealing a side she had never shown to anyone else before.
