Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 191 - 140: Wanning Marketplace, Slaying the Qiuo Family Twin Talents, Unexpected Gains
Never expected this.
Shangguan Feng took the initiative to introduce Fu Changsheng’s identity.
A clan leader from a Qi Cultivation Clan, Shopkeeper Nangong didn’t pay much attention, but still maintained a polite smile: "I wonder if you want a ground-level room or an A-level room?"
In his view, as a clan leader of a minor family, Changsheng couldn’t possibly stay in Room Number One like Shangguan Feng and the others, as their statuses were different.
However, Fu Changsheng pointed to the key for Room Number One hanging on the first row of the wall and said:
"I want Room Number Six in the Number One category."
This...
was clearly inappropriate in terms of hierarchy.
Shopkeeper Nangong glanced at the faces of Shangguan Feng and the others, seeing that the other four took their keys and went upstairs without much reaction to Fu Changsheng choosing a Number One room.
So he didn’t meddle further.
He instructed the servant to hand over the key for Room Number Six in the Number One category to Fu Changsheng.
After paying the deposit.
Fu Changsheng immediately went upstairs.
....
A pair of twins were sitting in a separate private room near the door on the first floor. When Shangguan Feng and the others went upstairs, Fu Changsheng was handling the deposit alone at the counter.
These two were the twins Qiuo Taifeng and Qiuo Taiyun from Pingyang County.
Their gaze returned from Fu Changsheng, exchanged a look, and almost said in unison:
"Fu Changsheng of Luofeng Mountain!"
Years ago, they were responsible for thoroughly investigating the cause of their ancestor’s death in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss. When they arrived at the Zhang Family in Anyang County, the Zhang Family’s clan leader insisted that the death of their ancestor was related to Fu Changsheng. At the time, they thought the Zhang Family’s clan leader was trying to use a knife to kill someone, so they didn’t pay much attention.
However.
With the extermination of the Zhang Family by the Fu Family.
They realized something was wrong. As they pursued the investigation, they specifically inquired with the cultivators who entered Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss with Fu Changsheng that year.
Finally.
Through a generous reward.
They learned from a Loose Cultivator, Wang Fugui.
That their ancestor had indeed been slain by Fu Changsheng along with Granny Yu in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.
Years passed.
Now, both of them had broken through to the Peak of Qi Cultivation, and by using a Combined Secret Skill, they could barely withstand an Early Stage of Foundation Establishment for a round.
They had been looking for an opportunity to avenge their deceased ancestor, but Fu Changsheng’s whereabouts were mysterious and hard to track.
Unexpectedly.
When they came to purchase cultivation materials for the clan, they happened to encounter Fu Changsheng.
A flash of murderous intent passed through Qiuo Taiyun’s eyes as he communicated telepathically: 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Brother, this is a rare opportunity to kill this villain Fu Changsheng. I suggest we postpone the purchasing matters. What do you think?"
Qiuo Taifeng was somewhat hesitant.
This time, they had brought down the spirit stones that the clan had amassed over several years. The clan leader repeatedly emphasized that no matter what happens along the way, purchasing materials must be the priority.
After all.
These were spirit stones accumulated through years of thrift.
Which were crucial for the clan’s development in the coming years.
Therefore, Qiuo Taifeng shook his head and said:
"A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years it’s not too late. Let’s finish our purchasing first."
Qiuo Taiyun became anxious upon hearing this.
Quickly said:
"Brother, we’ve been tracing Fu Changsheng for years. You know how difficult it is to track him down, as he always wears that Invisibility Cloak.
Judging from Fu Changsheng’s reaction earlier, it seems like it’s his first time at Wanning Marketplace. I’m sure after resting at the inn, he’ll head to West Street. On the way from Cloud Travelers’ Inn to West Street, through Phoenix Tree Lane, it’s secluded and at night, it’s the perfect time to strike."
"Brother, Fu Changsheng might be leaving the city tomorrow. Once he puts on the Invisibility Cloak, finding him again will be extremely difficult. Such an opportunity, once missed, is gone!"
"Our ancestor is our direct grandfather."
"Don’t you want him to find peace under the nether world."
"If you’re afraid of screwing up, I’ll go alone."
Qiuo Taiyun grew more agitated the more he spoke.
Qiuo Taifeng was about to say a few words of persuasion.
Then he saw Fu Changsheng coming down from the Number One room again soon.
Qiuo Taiyun put on a mask and immediately turned around to leave the private room, following behind.
Qiuo Taifeng couldn’t feel at ease and caught up with Qiuo Taiyun.
Since they decided to strike.
They must achieve a one-hit kill.
He quickly communicated a few words to Qiuo Taiyun telepathically.
The two figures flashed and soon disappeared into the crowd.
....
Fu Changsheng came out from the inn, identified the direction.
And didn’t seem intent on wandering.
He immediately headed toward West Street.
Since early tomorrow he had to go to the World Suppression Bureau to register the Ninth-Grade Noble Family, not knowing how late it would be busy. He feared that the demonic seed from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area would be taken by someone else.
However.
Upon leaving the inn.
He immediately sensed a gaze on him, but it quickly disappeared, though he was just new here.
For safety’s sake.
He concentrated his mind:
"Exchange intelligence"
Buzz!
The panel trembled.
A flood of yellow light surged.
Then.
Lines of text appeared:
"[While you were checking in, the twins Qiuo Taifeng and Qiuo Taiyun discovered your whereabouts. They have already arrived ahead at the corner of Phoenix Tree Lane and set up the Fire Array Map, planning to kill you in one strike to avenge their grandfather, Elder Qiuo. The Qiuo brothers are carrying with them the Qiuo Family’s savings of several years, here to procure materials for the clan]"
Qiuo Taifeng, Qiuo Taiyun?!
Fu Changsheng was momentarily dazed.
When he came out of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, the intelligence mentioned that the two brothers had visited the Zhang Family in Niushou Mountain to investigate Elder Qiuo’s death. After all these years, he didn’t expect them to still be persistent.
