Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 607: Chapter 268: The Celebration—Treasures Abound, Honored Guests Arrive

This old fox Liuu Qingmin even brought up Liuu Meizhen. If Liuu Meizhen were in the Fu Family, he certainly wouldn’t dare to hoist this tiger’s flag.

This is the result of their Wu Family losing out for not having a marriage alliance with the Fu Family.

Glancing back at his own daughter.

He secretly vowed in his heart.

No matter what, today he must betroth his daughter to one of Fu Changsheng’s sons, even if just as a co-wife.

The three families went inside not long after.

Yu Qingru also came along with Brother Ann.

Fu Yongfan looked at Brother Ann, who bore a fifty percent resemblance to himself, and for some reason, his mind suddenly recalled his mother, who was far away in Jingzhou alone.

The construction of this Demon-Defying City.

His mother had put in a vast amount of effort.

Not only did she personally make a trip to Jingzhou, but she also successfully defended against the Beast Tide with the clan members she brought with her.

Moreover, to allow the family to smoothly advance to the Eighth Grade.

She went to Jingzhou once more and brought back the Ninth-Grade Yum Family.

However.

When it was as lively as today, receiving congratulatory visits from ten thousand people, his mother remained alone in Jingzhou, seeking a new path for the family’s further development.

Looking at Yu Qingru, who was being surrounded like the Lady of the House by everyone.

Fu Yongfan quickly shifted his gaze away.

Even though Yu Qingru and Fu Changsheng had no formal status, everyone was aware of their relationship, so the guests today, seeing Fu Changsheng’s face, and given that she was herself the Ninth-Grade Family Head and a Tier Three Array Master, many people came to build relations.

Yu Qingru was gracious and poised, as this was also a good opportunity for their Yum Family to expand their network.

However, she didn’t overstep the line and didn’t regard herself as the mistress just because Liuu Meizhen wasn’t present.

Shortly after Yu Qingru went inside.

A rainbow light swiftly flew from the sky, and as it faded.

The newcomer was none other than the Liang Clan Leader.

Following him was the veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator Liang Zhiqing from the Liang Family. Looking at the vibrant festivities of the Fu Family, he genuinely felt grateful and said:

”Patriarch, it’s fortunate that you went against the majority’s opposition back then, took the initiative to befriend the Fu Family, and even married Qianqian into the Fu Family, thereby resolving the tension between the two families; otherwise, our Liang Family would have offended an Eighth-Grade Noble Family by now.”

The Liang Clan Leader felt somewhat a pity.

If he had taken charge of the Liang Family earlier, he could have furthered the relationship with the Fu Family, rather than remaining so formally respectful now.

Just as the Liang Clan Leader was about to give a few instructions.

His Divine Sense moved.

He saw three rainbow lights swiftly approaching from the east, the Liang Clan Leader’s expression changed:

”The Cui Family and Qii Family have arrived.”

Liang Zhiqing also scanned with his Divine Sense.

He discovered that besides the Cui Family and Qii Family, Cao Xuerui, reinstated as the Ninth-Grade Family Head by the Cui Family’s support, led the Cao Family.

Liang Zhiqing spoke in a low voice:

”Everyone thought that the last Eighth-Grade Noble Family spot in South Huai Prefecture would fall to the Cui Family, but now it’s been snatched by the Fu Family. Patriarch, do you think the Cui Family will cause trouble today?”

The Liang Clan Leader shook his head.

Before the Fu Family’s promotion to the Eighth Grade.

The Cui Family, head of the Ninth-Grade Noble Families, had never provoked the Fu Family, let alone now.

Moreover.

The original iron triangle comprised of Cui Family, Qii Family, and Hongg Family had already collapsed.

The new Hongg Clan Leader, who rose to power by killing his clan brother, wasn’t someone willing to bow to the Cui Family. With the old clan leader’s death, he cut off all relations with the Cui Family.

There’s no spectacle to watch.

Liang Zhiqing suddenly lost interest:

”Patriarch, if that’s the case, shall we go inside first?”

He always disliked the hypocritical facade of the Cui Clan Leader.

But the Liang Clan Leader shook his head:

”No rush, let’s first see what gifts the Cui Family brings.”

Because of this.

Before leaving the house.

The Liang Clan Leader had purposely prepared three gifts of different tiers.

Although he knew it was too late to curry favor with the Fu Family, he still didn’t want to leave an impression of giving the worst gift.

Therefore.

The two stood in place, waiting for the people from the Cui Family and the other two families to come forward.

Only then did they leisurely descend.

They heard Fu Yongqi in front loudly announcing:

”Ninth-Grade Cao Family gifts a Tier Two Top-Grade Dragon Scale Fruit.”

Dragon Scale Fruit?!

The Liang Clan Leader’s eyelid twitched upon hearing the announcement.

Unexpectedly, the Cao Family, which had just recovered, was willing to present such a generous gift.

He immediately put the originally prepared third-grade gift back into the storage bag.

”Ninth-Grade Qii Family gifts a piece of Thousand-Year Snow Jade Marrow.”

The Thousand-Year Snow Jade Marrow is a rare ice attribute Tier Three Low-Grade spiritual material, most fitting for making spiritual artifacts. Such a treasure is also hard to find in the marketplace.

The Liang Clan Leader gritted his teeth.

He put the originally prepared second-grade gift back into the storage bag as well.

”Ninth-Grade Cui Family gifts a bottle of Cold Water.”

Liang Zhiqing beside the Liang Clan Leader heard this, his pupils shrank, and he whispered:

”Patriarch, is the Cui Clan Leader deliberately showing he doesn’t envy the Fu Family by even gifting such a treasure as Cold Water?”

The Liang Clan Leader also didn’t expect that the Cui Family would be so generous.

Cold Water grows in extremely cold places.

Its effect is to accelerate the ripening of Spirit Plants, shortening the maturation cycle.

Generally speaking.

Even the most inferior Cold Water can quickly advance the medicinal age of a Spirit Plant by two years.

The Liang Clan Leader took out the white-gold patterned box hidden in his sleeve, reluctantly handed it to Fu Yongfan:

”Congratulations to the Fu Family on the promotion to the Eighth Grade.”

Though the Liang Clan Leader concealed it well.

Liang Zhiqing, standing beside him, looking eagerly at the white-gold box, indicated that whatever inside the box was certainly not ordinary merchandise.

Fu Yongfan glanced at it yet didn’t recognize what it was.

Passed the box to Fu Changli.

Upon a closer look, Fu Changli’s eyes lit up.

It turned out to be a thousand-year-old Dragon Eye Ginseng.

That’s used by Foundation Establishment cultivators to break through the Seventh Layer.

Regardless of its practicality or value, it was extremely high:
