Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 862: Chapter 327: Breakthrough, Secrets, and the Treasure Revealed (Part 3)

”Celestial Sound Fairy, accompany me on an outing.”

”Yes, Patriarch.”

Celestial Sound Fairy did not ask where they were going.

They departed from Yinan Mountain.

On the way to Xinguang Mountain, Celestial Sound Fairy watched Fu Changsheng’s back, bit her lip, and summoned the courage to bow to Fu Changsheng before speaking:

”I have deceived the Patriarch about one matter; I ask for your forgiveness.”

”Oh?”

Fu Changsheng turned to look at Celestial Sound Fairy.

Celestial Sound Fairy bit her lip. If she wanted to truly establish herself in the Fu Family, she had to earn Fu Changsheng’s trust; otherwise, even if the clan had resources, she wouldn’t receive them:

”I report to the Patriarch.”

”In truth, I am not the legitimate second daughter of the Luo Family.”

”My mother was from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect in the Land of the Far West. When my father went to the frontline to fight years ago, the two accidentally fell into the Celestial Valley Abyss. They thought they would never escape, so... so I was born in the Celestial Valley Abyss. I grew up there until I was in my teens, and later, by chance, we found an exit leading to the outside world.”

”This exit was in the Eastern Wilderness.”

”When our family emerged, we encountered the old relic known as Yinan Chieftain. At that time... at that time, my father and mother immediately used secret techniques to escape, neither intending to take me along, which is why I was captured by Yinan Chieftain.”

As she spoke.

A trace of mockery flashed in Celestial Sound Fairy’s eyes.

In the Celestial Valley Abyss.

They were a happy family of three, yet she never imagined that when faced with danger, the parents who cherished her daily would be the first to abandon her.

Because of this.

She chose not to return to the Luo Family.

She bore the blood of the Spirit Control Sect Elder’s daughter and was captured by the Eastern Wilderness Tribe for many years. Even if her father fought against all odds to bring her back to the Luo Family, she feared she would not be heavily entrusted, especially after discovering her father had numerous children, she immediately abandoned the notion.

Instead.

It was better to ally with Fu Changsheng, who shared her hardship.

At least he knew her well and wouldn’t speculate too much. Moreover, she learned that Fu Changsheng treated adopted outsiders like real family, even acknowledging several adopted sons and daughters.

After finishing.

Celestial Sound Fairy looked at Fu Changsheng with some anxiety:

”Patriarch.”

”You may use the Tier Two Divine Inquiry Talisman on me; everything I’ve said is true. If there’s even a single falsehood, you may punish me as you see fit.”

Fu Changsheng had naturally investigated Celestial Sound Fairy’s background, and the information revealed that no such person existed in the Luo Family. However, her appearance bore a slight resemblance to Luo Begonia, leading him to suspect she might be an illegitimate child.

Yet never did he expect.

Celestial Sound Fairy to have such a backstory.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, understanding that she was genuinely aligning herself with the Fu Family.

Thinking thusly.

A familiar voice echoed in his mind:

”Ding!”

”You have gained Luo Tianyin’s heartfelt loyalty and attachment, adding a loyal Tier Three Array Master to the clan, and earning three hundred Clan Contribution Points.”

Immediately after.

The Clan Contribution Points on the panel instantly changed to five thousand nine hundred.

Fu Changsheng said:

”Celestial Sound Fairy, henceforth consider the Fu Family as your own.”

Celestial Sound Fairy felt a wave of emotion as Fu Changsheng did not doubt her words, and her eyes turned red as she bowed gratefully.

When they arrived at Xinguang Mountain.

Fu Changsheng sent a message to Fu Yongyi, who emerged from the mountain after a while. Meanwhile, the Cyan Flood Dragon originally coiled around Fu Yongyi’s arm chirped happily and landed on Fu Changsheng’s shoulder, affectionately nuzzling him. Fu Changsheng said:

”Stone, how is the progress?”

Fu Yongyi glanced at Celestial Sound Fairy standing behind Fu Changsheng, apparently concerned about speaking in front of an outsider. After all, the Star Stone Vein was of great importance. Nonetheless, Fu Changsheng said directly:

”Celestial Sound Fairy is one of us; you may speak freely.”

”Yes, Father.”

Fu Yongyi was puzzled for a moment.

Recently.

The Patriarch had repeatedly instructed to monitor Celestial Sound Fairy, yet suddenly she was considered one of the family. But since it was Father’s wish, he dared not contradict it, and said immediately:

”Father, come with me.”

Saying this.

Fu Yongyi transformed into a stream of Spirit Light and entered the ground.

Fu Changsheng and Celestial Sound Fairy followed closely, descending thousands of feet underground. During this descent, Fu Yongyi used several Body-Protecting Talismans as the spatial pressure grew heavier the deeper they went.

Seeing this.

Fu Changsheng formed a hand seal with his right hand.

Instantly, a cyan light shield arose, encasing the three within, easing the pressure on Fu Yongyi and Celestial Sound Fairy. Fu Changsheng said:

”Stone, how much further?”

Further down.

It was close to ten thousand feet deep.

This indicated that over the past two years, Fu Yongyi had endured quite a bit:

”Father, another thousand feet or so and we’ll be there.”

Were it not for the Cyan Flood Dragon given to Fu Yongyi by Fu Changsheng, he could not have descended to such depths.

Fu Changsheng, Fu Yongyi, and Celestial Sound Fairy continued to plunge into the depths of the earth. As the depth increased, the surrounding space grew increasingly narrow, with an omnipresent pressure seeming to crush them. Even with Fu Changsheng’s protective cyan light shield, the three could still feel the weight akin to a mountain pressing upon them.

Finally, upon reaching a certain depth, Fu Yongyi suddenly halted.

”Father, we’ve arrived.”

As he spoke.

The Treasure Hunting Device in Fu Yongyi’s hand emitted a sharp buzzing, its needle spinning wildly before pointing northwest.

Following the needle’s direction, Fu Changsheng saw nothing but an ordinary stone wall, showing no signs of anything unusual.

Fu Yongyi said:

”The west-northwest wall indicated by the Treasure Hunting Device likely hides an Invisibility Array. If we can break this array, the source of the mine may be revealed. However, I’ve studied it extensively and found no leads on this Invisibility Array. Moreover, no matter how much we attack it, the stone wall remains unbroken, yet its material is just ordinary rock.”

How remarkable?

Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng immediately formed a hand seal with his right hand, channeling Spiritual Power into the northwest stone wall.

With a humming sound.

The wall slightly vibrated but showed no signs of cracking:

”Huh?”

Fu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

Considering he had now broken through to the Third-Layer of the Purple Mansion, a casual strike should be enough to eradicate a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Hesitating for a moment, he merged his right index and middle fingers, activated the Ming and Qing Spirit Eye, and observed the northwest wall again, seeing a dramatically different scene.
