Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 753: Chapter 302: Promotion, Lover, Wrath of the Golden Core (10,000-Word Combined Chapter) (Part 4)

Fu Molan inherently possessed a Mutated Ice Spiritual Root, a type of spiritual root exceedingly rare in the Cultivation Realm, naturally possessing a high affinity for Spiritual Power and a cultivation speed that should be exceptionally fast. However, during her time with the clan, she was deeply engrossed in researching Puppetry Technique. This technique is vast and profound, requiring a significant amount of time and effort to study various materials, arrays, and the application of Spiritual Power. Often, she would spend several years in the workshop for the creation of a single puppet, which also delayed her cultivation progress.

"Patriarch"

Molan did not expect Fu Changsheng to come to Jingzhou.

Aside, Yaoyao, upon seeing the valiant and spirited Molan, hastily greeted:

"Greetings, Auntie Molan"

After the people met.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Yaoyao, you stay outside, Molan, you come with me"

The two entered the cabin and closed the array.

Molan saw Fu Changsheng’s solemn expression and felt a tightness in her heart:

"Patriarch, has something urgent happened in the clan?"

Fu Changsheng did not hide anything and immediately recounted the incident of slaying Yun Taiying, mentioning that Master Yun had already traced it to their Fu Family, and finally said:

"Molan, presently, within Jingzhou, there’s a disciple named Yun Shiying from the Joy Sect who is in the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion."

After Molan listened.

She contemplated for a moment.

And then said:

"Patriarch, do you want me to report this matter and have the Intelligence Department apprehend Yun Shiying?"

Fu Changsheng shook his head.

According to the intelligence mentioned.

Yun Shiying is at the Mid-Stage Purple Mansion, he possesses a Cyan Flood Dragon and a Two-headed Green-eyed Python of Meizhen’s; he isn’t afraid of confronting him, but he seeks a way to eliminate future troubles permanently:

"Molan, how are the war affairs between the Court and the Land of the Far West?"

Molan shook her head:

"Patriarch, I’ve just been appointed and hold a low position in the Myriarch Office, I can’t gather information on these affairs. However, since Lord Cao has taken office in the Myriarch Office, I’ve heard that she has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, and backed by a Fifth-Grade Golden Core Family, her cultivation has progressed rapidly in recent years, already reaching Fake Core cultivation. I’ve heard her position is likely to be promoted again. Lord Cao is on good terms with the Lady of the House; Patriarch, would you want me to arrange a meeting with Lord Cao for you?"

The matter between Cao Xiang’er and Fu Changsheng.

Only Meizhen is aware; the world assumes Cao Xiang’er and Liuu Meizhen are on good terms, but that’s not the case.

After hearing Molan’s recounting.

Fu Changsheng felt a wave of emotions.

Back then, Cao Xiang’er even abandoned the child in her womb, wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao, and now it seems she has indeed carved out a niche for herself.

He took a deep breath.

Fu Changsheng said:

"In that case, Molan, see if you can arrange for Lord Cao to meet with me."

"Yes, Patriarch"

This matter concerns the future safety of the Fu Family.

Fu Molan dared not slack off in the least. She quickly left the Celestial Dragon Warship and returned to the Myriarch Office.

Fu Molan headed straight for Cao Xiang’er’s residence.

Cao Xiang’er’s residence was in a quiet courtyard at the Myriarch Office, surrounded by spirit plants, emitting a faint ripple of Spiritual Qi. Fu Molan stood at the courtyard gate, tidied her attire, and gently knocked on the door ring.

"Who is it?" A clear and crisp voice from inside the house.

"Lord Cao, it’s me, Fu Molan." Fu Molan respectfully replied.

The door slowly opened, and Cao Xiang’er appeared at the entrance. She wore a plain long robe, her features delicate, her gaze imbued with a sharp intelligence and competence. Upon seeing Fu Molan, she slightly paused: "Centurion Fu, what urgent matter requires attention?"

Fu Molan looked around and spoke softly: "Lord Cao, this matter is of utmost importance; may I speak with you privately?"

Cao Xiang’er saw her serious expression, nodded, and led Fu Molan inside. After closing the door, Fu Molan laid out everything regarding Fu Changsheng’s situation, including the crisis facing the Fu Family and Fu Changsheng’s request to meet her.

Upon hearing everything, Cao Xiang’er faintly furrowed her brow.

After a while.

She slowly said: "Centurion Fu, where is your patriarch now?"

She implied agreement.

Fu Molan felt a sense of relief and joy:

"My lord, the patriarch is currently on the Celestial Dragon Warship near Thousand Cloud Mountain."

Cao Xiang’er nodded, made some simple preparations, and followed Fu Molan to Thousand Cloud Mountain.

Before long, Fu Molan brought Cao Xiang’er to the Celestial Dragon Warship.

Upon hearing the commotion, Fu Changsheng stood up to greet them. When he saw Cao Xiang’er, a complex array of emotions stirred within him. After so many years, Cao Xiang’er remained stunningly attractive, yet with an added touch of maturity and steadiness.

"Lord Cao, long time no see." Fu Changsheng cupped his hands.

Cao Xiang’er looked at Fu Changsheng, her eyes flickering with a peculiar expression, without saying much.

The two entered the cabin and closed the array again.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a while and spoke about Brother Qiang’s Spiritual Root transformation, stepping into cultivation, marrying and having children, and how Brother Fuu had entered the Great Zhou Academy but was expelled for not meeting the standard.

Cao Xiang’er appeared expressionless, yet she was somehow touched by how much Fu Changsheng valued the two children and the efforts he made.

After pondering for a while.

Cao Xiang’er made no attempt to hide:

"Fu Clan Leader, currently the court and the South Sea have settled the war, and the main focus will likely shift to the sect conflicts in the Land of the Far West. Although the Joy Sect has a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Master Yun is merely an Elder among them, and those he can command are only Purple Mansion disciples."

She paused.

Cao Xiang’er continued:

"The court has a barrier at the border, and Golden Cores currently cannot enter Great Zhou, so as long as your Fu Family has the strength of Purple Mansion to guard, you can remain secure. Also, with the upcoming border inspections, the court will intensify checks and defenses. Even if Master Yun dispatches Purple Mansion disciples, they may not necessarily reach your Jingzhou."
