Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 182 - 137: Vital Intelligence, Mystery of Origins, the Death of Liuu Qingyun
Liuu Meizhen was taken aback.
But her mind was working very fast.
Obviously.
Her husband didn’t trust her father.
Just now she was too agitated; those words shouldn’t have been said.
If she were in her husband’s position.
If her father agreed to assist in killing Liuu Qingyun, then he would be a traitor to the clan. Since he could betray his own clan, he clearly could betray the Fu Family next time as well.
If her father did not agree, and instead informed Liuu Qingyun, allowing him to set a trap in advance and wait for her husband, using the Mountain Protection Array to ensnare him, it would undoubtedly place her husband at the brink of life and death.
Thinking of this.
A cold sweat broke out on Liuu Meizhen’s back.
She quickly said:
"Husband, I take back what I said earlier, I was too reckless!!"
Liuu Meizhen was filled with regret.
Seeing this, Fu Changsheng held her hands tightly and said:
"The fact that you revealed your family secret to me shows that you truly care for me in your heart. But the human heart is unpredictable. Your father, after all, bears the Liuu surname and grew up in the Liuu Family. Last time, due to your father-daughter bond, he was able to warn you, but this time, he might not stand idly by due to his allegiance to the clan."
"What you say is true, husband. I was thoughtless. In the future, should such serious matters arise, I will first report to you and let you decide."
The two discussed for a while.
By the next day.
Liuu Meizhen performed the Invisibility Technique and left Luofeng Mountain, while Fu Changsheng followed wearing the Invisibility Cloak. The two walked almost side by side, reaching the Liuu Family Territory in Anyang County.
Liuu Meizhen immediately took out a Communication Jade Talisman to contact the Liuu Family Second Elder, Liuu Qingmin.
After about half an hour.
The Mountain Gate Array light curtain of the Liuu Family flashed with ripples.
A gap appeared.
The Liuu Family Second Elder walked out from inside.
At this moment.
Fu Changsheng flashed his body, entering the Liuu Family Mountain before the array closed.
Liuu Qingmin walked briskly.
Upon reaching a corner.
He looked around, immediately performed the Invisibility Technique, walked a few more hundred feet, then stopped in the Phoenix Tree Forest, imitating an eagle’s call twice.
A breeze blew by.
Liuu Meizhen appeared beside him.
Liuu Qingmin showed a worried expression:
"Meizhen, you wrote saying there was something extremely urgent. Is it something about Changsheng?"
Fu Changsheng had not been seen for a long time.
There were rumors in the marketplace.
That Fu Changsheng had already died; otherwise, the Fu Family wouldn’t have fully activated their Mountain Protection Array.
Hearing these rumors.
Liuu Qingmin felt very uneasy in his heart.
If Changsheng were truly dead, the grace Shangguan Feng had for the Fu Family would dissipate, and sooner or later the Clan Leader would attack Luofeng Mountain. Meizhen, being an alchemist, might be spared, but the Clan Leader would never allow those three children to live, since he would want to eliminate any threat to the root. Even Meizhen might immediately be sold at a high price to another noble family as a concubine.
Seeing her father’s genuine concern, Liuu Meizhen felt warmth in her heart:
"Father, don’t worry, Changsheng will be fine!"
But.
After today.
If her father found out that he had opened the array, allowing Changsheng to sneak in and assassinate Liuu Qingyun, how would he feel?
Liuu Meizhen instinctively grasped her father’s hands firmly, saying:
"Father....."
She wanted to say something.
But couldn’t bring herself to speak.
Even if Liuu Qingmin was dulled at this point, he understood that this daughter surely concealed something from him. Yet he could not quite grasp the truth, but his unease continued to grow stronger, prompting him to turn and leave without hesitation:
"Meizhen, since there is nothing wrong, you should first return....."
Before he finished the sentence.
He fell softly to the ground.
Liuu Meizhen hurriedly caught him, whispering so softly it could hardly be heard:
"I’m sorry, Father!"
...
After Fu Changsheng entered the Liuu Family Mountain Gate.
Due to it being nighttime.
The entire Liuu Family was only lit by the high-hung lanterns, with Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation patrols occasionally passing by, yet the whole territory was otherwise silent.
Fu Changsheng had come and gone from the Liuu Family many times.
He was familiar with the place.
He stealthily reached the Cyan Pine Hall where Liuu Qingyun was.
Because he wore the Invisibility Cloak, the Mid-Stage Qi Cultivators in the Liuu Family couldn’t notice anything unusual.
Stopping forty yards outside Cyan Pine Hall, at the limit of his Divine Sense, he halted, scanning with his Divine Sense, and found the main room of Cyan Pine Hall covered by a transparent array light curtain.
Upon closer inspection.
He found it to be a simple screening and Early Warning Array designed to prevent visual peering.
Yet his Divine Sense could penetrate it.
The entire Liuu Family.
Contained only Liuu Qingyun as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Presumably.
The opponent deemed additional measures unnecessary.
His Divine Sense pierced through the light curtain of the array.
He saw Liuu Qingyun and Yu Wanning inside, intertwined, a blue and red spirit light swirling around them, their auras seemingly merging, evidently engaged in dual cultivation.
Fu Changsheng was very patient.
He waited for about half an hour.
The blue and red energies within the room buzzed, re-entering Liuu Qingyun and Yu Wanning’s bodies separately, as they untangled. Liuu Qingyun caressed Yu Wanning with a satisfied expression:
"Darling, your skills have improved greatly."
"My husband appears to be thriving on joy; you were much more vigorous today than in previous days."
"At dawn, I need to go to Wanning Marketplace to register as a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family, simply because I am reluctant to part with you. Darling, let’s do it once more."
"I can’t take it anymore, besides, tomorrow is your official business, you must conserve your energy. Although the Clan Leader has already found two other guarantor families, he mentioned that they insisted on meeting you before making a final decision. Husband, you must leave a good impression on them."
