Chapter 975: Chapter 348: Mutation, Hongyu’s Message, Sacrifice (Ten Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)
"Come in."
As Fu Changsheng’s voice sounded, the array opened. In the courtyard, Fu Changsheng sat alone on the stone bench by the catalpa tree. Gan Muwan saw him, quickly pulled her children forward, and wore a trace of unease on her face:
"Father, as your daughter-in-law, I am incompetent, unable to discipline my husband properly, and allow him to utter such rebellious words to you. Indeed, I deserve to die ten thousand times over. Please, Father, punish me."
"It’s not your fault. Brother Qiang is simply obstinate and unrepentant, which led him to this step today."
Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell on his grandchildren, knowing what Gan Muwan was worried about, and said, "The children are excellent. Rest assured, they will not be implicated and affected by Brother Qiang’s matter."
He spoke.
Waved his hand.
After signaling the grandchildren to withdraw.
Fu Changsheng stated solemnly:
"Do not let Brother Qiang’s mad words spread, understood?"
"I understand as your daughter-in-law. I have already had all the sisters in blue who were present drink the Forgetfulness Water, and the daily affairs of my husband have been assigned to a servant who has been deaf and mute from childhood. Please be at ease, Father."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
Now, Brother Qiang’s family can only rely on Gan Muwan:
"Muwan, you have closed yourself off for many years. How is the progress in the Gu Insect path?"
"After having insight from the Gu Dao Inheritance Father brought back last time, I’ve gained quite a harvest. The ’Reincarnation Life and Death Gu’ I’m currently cultivating has reached a Quasi-Tier Three Peak, just a bit away from ascending to Tier Three. However, according to what I’ve comprehended from the Gu Dao, this ’Reincarnation Life and Death Gu’ needs to absorb and devour thousands of dead chi to break through, and it cannot be done step by step; it requires a one-time effort. I’m afraid this ’Reincarnation Life and Death Gu’ might need to be brought to a battlefield to break through."
Hearing this, Fu Changsheng felt his heart stir.
He had a good idea:
"Muwan, delegate your tasks to others and accompany me to Yinan Mountain in a while."
"Yes, Father."
Gan Muwan did not ask what they were going for, agreed, and upon seeing Fu Changsheng had no further instructions, she sighed with relief, left the Patriarch’s Mansion, and her children immediately gathered around:
"Mother, what did Grandfather say?"
Gan Muwan patted their hands, and quickly transmitted a message: "Don’t worry, your grandfather did not blame us for your father’s matters."
Currently, the Fu Family is thriving and its members are prosperous.
Yet, the resources within the clan are fixed, but there is a distinction between the internal and external status. Naturally, those born from the direct line of the Clan Leader can receive more cultivation resources,
their family dare not vie for the Crown Prince position; as long as they are not despised or delisted, retaining the title of the Clan Leader’s line is sufficient.
Gan Muwan and her children had barely taken a few steps when they were called over by Jade Lotus who lived on one side.
Currently, the Gan Family has risen to Ninth Grade, and the Patriarch is Jade Lotus’s half-sibling, while Gan Muwan also comes from the Gan Family. As daughters-in-law of the Clan Leader, they naturally are closest.
Jade Lotus led them into her room.
After closing the doors and windows.
Her face filled with worry:
"I heard Father was furious in your courtyard and confined the sixth brother, not letting him out except upon death. Sister-in-law, what is happening?"
Gan Muwan naturally could not speak the truth, found an excuse to brush it off.
Jade Lotus didn’t think much, sighed deeply, appearing heavily burdened with concerns even though she’s a grandmother now. Jade Lotus simply couldn’t hide a thing:
"Sister-in-law, to be honest, it seems soon my husband and I will have to go to Jingzhou with Mother."
Gan Muwan heard this.
Her eyes lit up.
Jingzhou, unlike their remote area, is vast and rich. If she’s pleased, she couldn’t be happier:
"Sister-in-law, this is good news. What’s there to be concerned about?"
Jade Lotus glanced sideways, performed a Sound Insulation Technique, and quickly transmitted a message:
"Currently, the position of Crown Prince in the clan is vacant.
Rumors abound that it might fall upon Brother Yi.
Moreover, I heard from the messages from Yinan Mountain that Brother Yi has closed off to breakthrough the Purple Mansion. Once he truly breaks through the Purple Mansion, this Crown Prince position might indeed fall into his hands.
It’s a critical time now.
My husband and I should be stationed at this base indeed. At least everyone in South Huai Prefecture knows that now, the affairs of Yunshan County and Pingshan County are almost all decided by my husband. The reputation remains; once we go to Jingzhou, after a long time, wouldn’t my husband’s efforts and achievements vanish like smoke?"
Gan Muwan furrowed her brows.
Held back, waited for Jade Lotus to finish her complaints, pondered for a moment, then said:
"Sister-in-law, Father has never mentioned establishing a Crown Prince, and Father is in his prime. What’s the use of even establishing a Crown Prince?"
As cultivators, they strive for the path of eternal life. Rather than spending thoughts on this, it’s better to ponder how to truly elevate one’s realm.
However.
She naturally wouldn’t say this.
After all, the two are merely co-sisters-in-law.
Jade Lotus let it in one ear and out the other, her mind still on the dying words from Fairy Lady Cai.
Gan Muwan left Jade Lotus’s courtyard, gazed toward the Patriarch’s Mansion, and mused to herself:
"Once we are at Yinan Mountain, perhaps I can ask Mother if she’s willing to be brought along."
In Jingzhou,
Gu Masters are nowhere to be found, and related Gu Dao materials are extremely scarce. Going to Jingzhou means reaching the frontier bordering the Land of the Far West. Although there’s still a distance from the Northern Border, branches of the Northern Border’s Gu Dao Inheritance are numerous in the Land of the Far West.
If she wishes to advance further in the Gu Dao,
she naturally cannot be confined to Jingzhou alone.
...
A Sword Rainbow swiftly flew from the direction of Artifact Refining Peak towards the Patriarch’s Mansion. On the Flying Sword, Yongxuan, dressed in palace attire, turned her head and glared at her identical triplet siblings Yongjing, Yongpeng, and Yongling:
