Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 361 - 197: Lost Both Money and Soldiers, Seeking a Child, Making Peace

Chapter 361: Chapter 197: Lost Both Money and Soldiers, Seeking a Child, Making Peace

The figure flickered several times.

After exiting the mountain gate.

From afar, he saw Liang Qianqian by the banks of the Changliu River, looking at him with infinitely aggrieved red eyes. Fu Changren’s heart softened at once, and he quickly stepped forward: 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Qianqian, let’s talk privately."

Fu Changren decided to clear things up with Liang Qianqian today.

Liang Qianqian, a beloved granddaughter of Grand Elder Liang, taking a liking to him was already a blessing from his past life, after all, the shop dispute had nothing to do with Liang Qianqian, she wasn’t at fault, and he couldn’t leave without an explanation.

Therefore,

After speaking, Fu Changren led the way in the front, entering Langmeng Mountain. After ensuring they were alone, he took a deep breath and solemnly said:

"Qianqian, the Wanning Marketplace shop dispute, I believe you’re already aware, there’s no possibility for us anymore. You’re a good girl, surely you can find a better Dao Companion than me in the future, just consider me a heartless man and forget about me. Live your life well, and if it’s meant to be, we’ll see each other in the next life..."

Upon hearing this, Liang Qianqian couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, and they streamed down her face.

However,

Liang Qianqian’s eyes were full of unwillingness, gritting her teeth, she said:

"I don’t want the next life, I only want now. I... I can betray the Liang family like Liuu Meizhen did, as long as I can be with you, I’m willing to pay any price."

"How can that be, you’re the granddaughter of Grand Elder Liang, and have a prosperous future. If you leave the Liang family to be with me, you’ll surely regret it in the future. I... I’m not like the Patriarch, I don’t have the ability to give you everything you want!"

"Ren Lang, I just want to be with you, I don’t need riches and honor, Ren Lang, really, I..."

"Qianqian, please don’t say anymore, let’s end it here, in the future... let’s not meet again."

Fu Changren couldn’t stay any longer, fearing he might soften again.

Liang Qianqian quickly chased after him.

The two of them tussled for a while.

In the end, Fu Changren, a grown man, also had reddened eyes:

"Qianqian, just consider us star-crossed lovers, it’s my lack of ability that makes me unworthy of you."

Liang Qianqian’s voice was hoarse from crying, seeing Fu Changren still unwilling to relent, she finally lowered her head, murmuring something unknown before patting her storage bag, a flash of Dawn Light appeared, and a wine gourd flashed out:

"This is Forgetfulness Wine, if you’re truly determined to cut ties with me, then drink it before my eyes."

"Fine."

Fu Changren’s outstretched hand trembled a bit, but he still tilted his head back and gulped it down, wiping his mouth afterward. Just as he was about to say something, he felt his entire body heat up, his head buzzing, and he instantly became dazed.

....

Liang Family.

Secret Chamber in the Back Mountain.

The Second Elder, Liang Zhitang, who was usually so arrogant in front of outsiders, now stood before Grand Elder Liang like a child who had made a mistake. Though the two were blood brothers, there was a significant age difference, and Second Elder Liang Zhitang was practically raised by the Grand Elder from a young age:

"Big Brother, calm down, wasn’t Liuu Meizhen that little girl someone I’ve dealt with before, who knew she was an old acquaintance of Cao Xiang’er? Don’t worry, those 180,000 Spirit Stones, I’ll definitely make the Fu Family repay with interest in the future."

Grand Elder Liang rubbed his temples.

He looked at Liang Zhitang wearily:

"Second Brother, even now you don’t know where you went wrong?"

Liang Zhitang blinked his eyes.

Clueless.

Grand Elder Liang sighed deeply:

"Do you know why I wanted to match Qianqian with Fu Changren?"

Speaking of this matter.

Liang Zhitang became angry. He watched Qianqian grow up; she was like a granddaughter to him. He really couldn’t understand why his big brother wanted to betroth Qianqian to a useless man from the Fu Family.

Now that the Liang and Fu families had fallen out.

The engagement was off, which suited him just fine, so he casually said:

"That useless Fu Changren was never worthy of our Qianqian. No matter your reasons, Big Brother, the engagement is off anyway."

Liang Zhitang looked as if he had done something good.

Making Grand Elder Liang, despite his good temper, show a stern face:

"Second Brother, you keep calling him useless, but do you know how Fu Changren, whose Dantian was destroyed, managed to reach the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation?"

A small Qi Cultivator.

Still a little pawn with a destroyed Dantian.

Of course, Liang Zhitang didn’t care, but now even as slow as he was, he could smell something, immediately straightening up: "Big Brother, do you mean the Fu Family has a cultivation technique that doesn’t require a Dantian?"

If that’s the case.

Then this cultivation technique is certainly of a high tier.

Liang Zhitang immediately understood Grand Elder Liang’s intention, clearly, the big brother wanted to use Qianqian to get close to Fu Changren and obtain this High-Tier Technique from him.

But based on Fu Changren’s current performance, this technique seems unremarkable and isn’t worth sacrificing Qianqian to steal this secret:

"Big Brother, besides Fu Changren’s cultivation technique, does the Fu Family have any rare treasures?"

Seeing his second brother finally hit the point, Grand Elder Liang stroked his beard and said:

"Think about it, back in the day, the Fu Family only had the Four Cultivators, with the highest being the Qi Cultivation Third Layer, but in just twenty-seven short years, they’ve not only been promoted to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, but the rising trend indicates it’s only a matter of time before they become an Eighth-Grade. For the Fu family, once could be luck, twice could be luck, but for consistent fortune, it indicates there’s something extraordinary."

"Fu Changren might not have high cultivation, but he was the oldest among the Four Cultivators back then and is an honest man. Currently, he also holds the firm grip of the Chief Steward of the Fu Family Territory. With Qianqian’s sincerity, she’s bound to move him. Once we uncover the secret of the Fu Family’s rise, wouldn’t this great fortune fall upon our Liang Family?"
