This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Liuu Family!
One must know.
Their forr clan leader almost married izhen into the Zhang Family, and eventually extorted thirty thousand Spirit Stones from the Fu Family. Now that the Fu Family has risen overnight, settling old scores, the Liuu Family is in danger!
The elders of the Liuu Family are all quite advanced in age; at this mont, they are leaning on canes, all with furrowed brows.
Back then.
If these old folks had been a bit more resolute and not allowed Liuu Qingyun to assu the position of Patriarch, the Liuu Family and Fu Family would still be on good terms. Not only would they have avoided these troubles, but they could also have risen by leveraging the Fu Family’s fortune.
Additionally.
There is one more thing.
No one has openly ntioned it.
The death of the previous clan leader now seems highly likely to have been at the hands of Fu Changsheng.
Back then, after establishing Foundation, the forr clan leader eagerly attacked the Fu Family. Now, it is evident the other side spared the lives of these old folks for izhen’s sake, a grace beyond the law.
After all, it’s the victor’s rule; there is nothing more to say.
The Grand Elder sighed and said:
"Patriarch, the day after tomorrow is the Fu Family’s ennoblent celebration, why not draft a plan?"
Everyone looked at Liuu Qingmin, who was seated at the head.
Although izhen’s background has not been exposed, the older generations in the clan are mostly aware of bits and pieces, and currently, the only person the Liuu Family can rely on is izhen.
Liuu Qingmin knocked on the table:
"Given our Liuu Family’s current status, what plan is there against the Fu Family? When we arrive at the Fu Family the day after tomorrow, just follow izhen’s instructions."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone exchanged glances.
This implies that the Liuu Family is to beco completely subservient to the Fu Family?!
Thinking back in the day.
Their ancestors started from being Horse Slaves of the Fu Family, and finally managed to shake off this status, yet now in their generation, they haven’t managed to glorify the Liuu Family but have regressed instead.
How will they face their ancestors in death?
Everyone let out a sigh.
But now.
What other path is there for the Liuu Family to take?
...
In the Fu Family.
Runzhi, having been in business at the Nanyang Marketplace for years, was the first to receive the news that the Fu Family was ennobled as a Noble Family. At first, she didn’t believe it, thinking the person who sent her the congratulatory ssage was joking.
After all.
Just a while ago.
The Patriarch had just erged from seclusion and hadn’t ntioned breaking through to Foundation Establishnt, so how were they suddenly ennobled as a Noble Family?
But a series of congratulatory ssages ca, proving it to be true.
Runzhi’s face imdiately bead with joy.
Years ago, the Liu Family was exterminated overnight by Li Wentai. Had it not been for the Patriarch’s tily intervention, she would have already beco a ghost under Li Wentai’s sword, not even a notion of revenge.
These years.
Due to her continuous improvent in Artifact Refining Skills.
Especially since she started crafting Quasi-Second-Tier Spiritual Artifacts, many forces had extended an olive branch, attempting to recruit her, but she decisively refused all of them.
Even Elder Ping Xingyang from the Ninth-Grade Noble Family personally ca as an envoy:
"Young Friend Liu, you have contributed to the Fu Family for eleven years, repaying all debts of gratitude. If you co to us, as long as you advance to a Tier Two Refiner within ten years, we will imdiately grant you a Foundation Establishnt Pill. Isn’t the lifelong pursuit of cultivators to advance further on the path of cultivation?!"
Hearing about the Foundation Establishnt Pill, it was impossible not to be tempted.
But without the Patriarch, she would not be where she is now, so without hesitation, she refused directly.
Looking at it now.
How wise was her decision!
The Patriarch has already reached Foundation Establishnt; the Fu Family has been ennobled as a Noble Family. This gives her the opportunity to exchange for a Foundation Establishnt Pill with the Court. As long as she works hard enough, she also has the chance for Foundation Establishnt!
...
Nanny Liuu, upon hearing the news, couldn’t stop smiling. She rushed like the wind into the backyard, only to see her own Lady of the House calmly watering the Silver Star Fruit Tree with Spiritual Spring water:
"Oh madam, at such a ti, and you’re still busy here? The Patriarch has reached Foundation Establishnt! Our Fu Family has been promoted to a Noble Family. This is excellent news; ma’am, we need to organize imdiately. The Patriarch didn’t have the ti to hold a Foundation Establishnt ceremony. Now, together with the ennoblent ceremony, it should be even grander."
After a mont.
Nanny Liuu glanced around.
Seeing no one around.
Lowered her voice:
"Madam, it must be said that you have a keen eye. Back then, so many proposed, but you didn’t fancy any, insisting it must be the Patriarch. I didn’t understand at the ti, but now it seems you had foresight. Luckily, you didn’t listen to this old servant’s misguided advice. I’ve heard that Wu Xunv, who married the second son of the Shangguan Family, lives as if walking on thin ice."
Nanny Liuu moved a little closer.
Even more quietly:
"Madam, now you are practically second in command in the Fu Family. With the Liuu Family firmly in your grasp, compared to your initial...."
"Nanny, be careful with your words!"
Liuu izhen’s voice, neither light nor heavy, carried an aura she had never shown to outsiders, enough to make Nanny Liuu, who had served her for decades, shiver, giving an awkward smile, not daring to speak further.
At this mont.
Brother Fan, with a small satchel on his back, ca running into the courtyard. Having arrived, he instinctively tidied up his clothes, and with a young adult-like deanor, cupped his hands and said:
"Mother, I heard at the Academy that Father has beco a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, and our Fu Family has been ennobled as a Noble Family. Is it true?"
"Of course, it’s true!"
Liuu izhen smiled, taking Brother Fan’s satchel and handing it to Nanny Liuu, looking at Brother Fan with a contented smile.
Being ennobled as a Noble Family.
Is just the first step of the Fu Family.
What she has planned is far beyond this.
....
By Moon Lake.
Chen Dazhu, tending the Spirit Field, was stunned for a while upon hearing the good news from the clan.
Then he raised his right hand and slapped himself across the face:
"Oh dear, if my wife had listened to herself and left the Fu Family back then, this imnse fortune wouldn’t have fallen upon our household!"
The Fu Family being ennobled as a Noble Family.
Of course, as the family vassals, they also rise with the tide. Not only might his daughter Jade Lotus get her illness healed with the support of the Fu Family, but she might also take a step further and achieve Foundation Establishnt!
