Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 490 Various Thoughts (1)_1

"Regardless of her motives, she is currently our friend, not our enemy. The materials she provided, many of which we don’t even have here, indeed show her remarkable knowledge. If we want to improve our family’s overall ability, becoming friends with her is the only way," Elder Wu nodded in agreement.

"Exactly. Especially the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Pill. Do those Spirit Fruits really exist in this world?"

"Since she can refine them herself, they must exist. As long as we maintain a good relationship with her, we will surely be able to refine them. By then, our Zhuge Family will also thrive and prosper."

"In light of this, Elder De will take care of the alchemy recipe and be responsible for finding the medicinal ingredients mentioned. I will handle communication with Shangguan You and the search for Li Wanying. Elders Shi and Yang will stay here to manage family affairs. Fengfeng, you continue with your cultivation."

"Yes, Family Head."

"Zhuge Yao, Zhuge Peng, you’ve also been here for a long time; it’s time for you to go out and broaden your horizons."

"Yes, Family Head."

"Though you will be outside, you must still focus on your cultivation and maintain as good a relationship as possible with Shangguan You. Did you hear me?" Zhuge Feng said solemnly. Although reluctant, he believed that not only he, but the other families would do the same. Everyone would want to get on good terms with Shangguan You.

"Yes, Family Head."

「In the Fang Family’s study, the lights were also brightly lit.」

Family Head Fang Qingsheng was seated, with Young Master Fang Jianfei standing behind him. Several Elders also stood respectfully before him. They were discussing the same issues: the medicinal recipes, the effects of the Spirit Gathering Pill, and the credibility of Shangguan You’s words.

"Is the Spirit Gathering Pill really better than the Spirit Gathering Stone?" Fang Qingrong questioned. He wasn’t the only one in doubt – the others were skeptical as well.

"I have tested the Spirit Gathering Pill myself." Fang Jianfei then shared his experience with its effects and also spoke of Shangguan You’s miraculous Medical Arts. He explained that if it hadn’t been for Shangguan You in the back mountains, he wouldn’t have made it out alive. Indeed, he had been the one to test all the Medicinal Pills.

"So you’re saying the pill is real?"

"Correct. The Zhuge Family also received her Spirit Gathering Pill, and its effects are even better than Spirit Jade. Instead of spending a high price on Spirit Jade and Spirit Gathering Stones, we should opt for the Spirit Gathering Pill. It can improve one’s constitution, allow for better absorption of Spiritual Energy, and reduce our expenses."

"Jianfei, Jianyu, you are both around Shangguan You’s age. From now on, try to get closer to her. Elder Rong will handle the medicinal materials. The two of you will take over communication with Shangguan You," Fang Qingsheng said, stroking his beard as he made the arrangements. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Yes, Family Head."

"The two of you have been here for quite some time without much growth. It’s time for you to go out and temper yourselves. Jianfei, Shangguan You is beautiful and talented; try to get close to her. I heard she’s taking the college entrance examinations soon and will be off to university. You should go too."

"Family Head," Fang Jianfei’s face instantly flushed. The mere thought of Shangguan You’s formidable actions made him break out in a cold sweat. This was truly a difficult task!

Fang Jianyu raised an eyebrow. He held no ill will towards Shangguan You; on the contrary, he felt a strange sense of affinity for her. The thought of Fang Jianfei trailing after Shangguan You like a timid new wife was quite amusing to him.

Fang Qingsheng nodded. He hoped the two of them would forge a good relationship with Shangguan You. If Fang Jianfei could marry her, it would be greatly beneficial to the entire family. Fang Qingsheng could see this, and the other Elders could as well. No one objected to Fang Qingsheng’s arrangements.

「In the Li Family study, the discussion was just as heated.」

If it weren’t for their need to come back and discuss the three recipes, they wouldn’t have let the Ye Family keep Shangguan You.

The issue concerning Elder Meihua and Shangguan You was also hotly debated. Those who had had frequent contact with Shangguan You, such as Li Zhaolei, Li Zhaohong, and Li Chengping, all eagerly expressed their opinions.

"Family Head, are we not going to avenge Elder Brother De?" Li Zhaohong’s eyes reddened at the memory of Li Zhaode’s death, and she still felt indignant. Why should that bratty girl get to live well after killing Elder Brother De, while their family had to consider befriending her?

"That incident was Zhaode’s fault. Who told him to go around teasing people, and of all people, to pick that girl? Besides, that kid was asking for trouble," Li Chengping said, stroking his beard. One Li Zhaode, more or less, was insignificant. Compared to the entire family, he truly didn’t matter much.

"Family Head, I’ve seen the effect of the Spirit Gathering Pill myself. Not only that, her medical skills are impressive too. I had suffered such severe internal injuries, yet she healed me with a single pill. With such a talent, we can only try to be on good terms with her, not offend her," Li Zhaolei said eagerly. Compared to this place, he much preferred the vibrant world outside. Besides, the Li Family needed to monitor the Shangguan Family’s every move, and their influence out there was certainly no less than it was here.

"Alright, Elder Ping will take care of the Spiritual Medicine matters. Zhaolei, you and Zhaoyang will go out. You’ll be responsible for building a rapport with Shangguan You and tell our people outside to also get on good terms with the Shangguan Family. Zhaolei, Zhaoyang, once you two are out there, you must prioritize the family’s interests. Whoever manages to marry Shangguan You will not only gain the Five Spirit Pearls but also these Spirit Deaths—they will all be yours."

"Especially the Immortality Pill, which even Emperor Qin Shihuang coveted. Now, we only have the recipe, but with the recipe comes hope, and it’s tied to the future of the entire family," Li Chengqing said, a sly smile on his lips. He could envision Shangguan You entering the Li Family’s doors and continuously concocting medicine for them. In this world, who didn’t crave eternal life, to exist as long as the sun and the moon? Especially as they grew older, their fear of death intensified.

"Yes, Family Head, we will definitely complete the mission," Li Zhaolei affirmed. He seemed to visualize Shangguan You falling into his embrace.

"Family Head, I want to go too," Li Zhaohong said pitifully to Li Chengqing. She didn’t want to stay here; she wanted to go out. Even if she couldn’t get revenge, she wouldn’t let Shangguan You have an easy time. At the very least, she would get some interest back. And she certainly wouldn’t allow Shangguan You to marry their Young Master.
