Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 622 - 272: Exotic Stone, Love Seed, Plant Spirit Body

In the midst of conversation.

Suddenly, in the depths of winter, Xu Changqing, holding the Cloud Tomb Fan, circled around and stood in front of Fu Molan.

Fu Molan’s eyelid twitched. What a coincidence, why did she run into this guy? However, she remembered that she had already taken the Disguise Pill, so the other party should not recognize her. Besides, it’s been decades since they last met.

Therefore, she calmly said:

"Fellow daoist, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

Xu Changqing blinked.

Looking closely.

He really couldn’t remember who she was. After all, he had met many women, but those who could compare with the one before him were less than a handful.

With a snap.

Xu Changqing closed the Cloud Tomb Fan.

He clasped his hands and bowed:

"I have disturbed the Immortal. It’s my impertinence. Today, the All-Seeing Restaurant has a newly introduced delicacy. I specifically had the shopkeeper reserve a private room for me. Might the immortal be willing to come along as a token of apology for my disturbance?"

Xu Changqing didn’t introduce himself.

Though he had been stripped of the title of Young Clan Leader.

He was still the eldest son of a grand Eighth-Grade Noble Family, and there was no one in North Huai Prefecture who didn’t know him.

Fu Molan had a thought.

Immediately said:

"Then I’ll trouble Young Master Xu to lead the way."

Lead the way?

Xu Changqing blinked:

"Is this your first time at the Celestial Mountain Marketplace, Immortal?"

As Fu Molan nodded, Xu Changqing became very interested, especially upon hearing that Fu Molan had spent years training on the mountain with her master, rarely venturing out. It was as if he were invigorated, constantly introducing to Fu Molan all the fun and delicious spots in the marketplace. Once they were seated at the All-Seeing Restaurant.

Only then did he remember to ask her purpose for coming down the mountain.

Fu Molan said:

"Young Master Xu, to be honest, I came down the mountain this time to clean the sect. Many years ago, the servant who served my master and me fled with the Spirit Pills we painstakingly refined. Since then, he went missing. After much inquiry, I found out that he might be hiding in Tianshan County."

Xu Changqing’s eyes lit up.

What an opportunity to impress in front of a beauty!

He immediately patted his chest and said:

"Immortal, you just give me this traitor’s portrait. There’s no one in North Huai Prefecture that I, Young Master Xu, can’t find. Even if she has fallen into the Netherworld, I’ll pull her out for you."

"I have face blindness and can’t remember the servant’s appearance. That portrait was also lost; I only know she goes by the alias Madam Luoo."

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing felt a bit troubled.

But since he had made such a big promise, he could only brace himself and say:

"Immortal, rest assured. You eat here first, and I’ll be back soon. I’ll make sure to find Madam Luoo for you today."

Speaking this.

Xu Changqing dashed downstairs in a hurry.

Headed straight to the World Suppression Bureau.

When the World Guardians saw him, they all greeted him as if it was nothing new because Xu Changqing’s aunt served as the Hall Master in South Huai Prefecture, and the Vice Hall Master here was his childhood friend. Xu Changqing would visit here frequently.

All-Seeing Restaurant.

Fu Molan watched through the window as Xu Changqing disappeared at the entrance of the World Suppression Bureau, her eyes gleaming slightly.

With the World Suppression Bureau involved.

The whereabouts of Madam Luoo would likely be found.

After sitting back down for a while, she heard the sound of footsteps thumping up the stairs. Xu Changqing appeared in the private room like a gust of wind.

With a snap.

The Cloud Ridge Fan in his hand opened.

With a bit of pride, he said:

"Immortal, we’ve found the whereabouts of Madam Luoo. She stayed in Tianshan County for a while, but a few years ago, she moved to a desolate mountain in the western outskirts of Taishan County. Immortal, I’m very familiar with the road to Taishan County. How about I lead the way for you?"

The Disguise Pill’s effect has a time limit.

And the longer she stayed with the other party, the more likely she was to be exposed. Fu Molan stood up and bowed:

"I won’t trouble Young Master Xu. I have some private grievances to settle with Madam Luoo. This is my Communication Jade Talisman. After I’ve dealt with Madam Luoo, I’ll join you for a boat ride on Thousand Mirror Lake."

"Immortal, it’s a promise then. I’ll head to Thousand Mirror Lake and wait for you. Don’t stand me up!"

Xu Changqing, smiling broadly, received the Communication Jade Talisman with both hands, feeling that she was already fond of him and thinking how lucky he was with romance today.

Fu Molan got up and left.

Out of the Marketplace.

She immediately cast the Invisibility Technique, her body flickering repeatedly. After getting far from the Celestial Mountain Marketplace, she returned to her usual attire, appearing no more than an ordinary female cultivator, and at the same time, summoned the Windbreak Beast.

With a flick of her forefinger.

A flame landed on Xu Changqing’s Communication Jade Talisman, and with a bang, the Jade Talisman instantly burned to ashes.

With a light point of her toe.

She steadily landed on the Windbreak Beast, quickly arriving at the meeting point agreed upon with Fu Changli. After waiting for a while, seeing no one following, she said:

"Fourth sister, you can come out now."

"Sister Molan, did you get the information?"

Fu Changli’s form flickered, emerging from within a Guan Mumu tree.

Fu Molan nodded slightly:

"Madam Luoo is in Taishan County. Let’s go."

The two rode the Windbreak Beast as they left the Tianshan County area. The Communication Jade Talisman on Fu Molan lit up with a hum, and her heart filled with joy:

"The Patriarch is here!"

The Communication Jade Talisman they held had a communication range of no more than a thousand miles, so the Patriarch should be somewhere nearby.

The two rode the Windbreak Beast.

Arriving at the designated meeting place, Azure Cloud Mountain.

The Array Light Curtain on the mountain surged.

Within the formation, Fu Changsheng sat on a large stone. Seeing them enter, he stood up, nodded slightly, and without wasting words, directly said:

"Before you arrived, I had already searched this western suburban wasteland. In the stone mountain to the west, there’s residual energy from a cultivator. Madam Luoo is most likely hiding there. To be safe, Fourth Sister, you will keep watch outside."
