Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Vol 2 Chapter 130: Ancestral Hall

Zhang Xuan pondered as the eyes of everyone else fell upon the two of them.

"Do you mean to say that this guy, with only the cultivation of the Dharma Image Realm, defeated Su Yunzhe with a single slap?"

The girl with an elegant face looked at Fu Qingqing in confusion, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Yes, Jingjing, you have to help me get revenge!"

Fu Qingqing lowered her voice, "Once the competition begins, you must have Yan Thirty-Three teach this guy a lesson! It’d be best if he beats him so badly that he can't take care of himself."

"Okay! I'll have Yan Thirty-Three take action later..." Fu Jingjing nodded. "But... we still don’t know what the content of the assessment will be. If there’s no competition, I won’t be able to help you."

"Hehe, as long as you promised, I’m at ease. We’ll definitely find a chance!" Fu Qingqing smiled brightly.

While they were talking, an old woman with a cane walked over. She looked around before bowing slowly to Zhang Xuan and the others, saying, "You are all famous geniuses from Zouyi City. Originally, according to the agreed-upon schedule, the assessment would be seven days from now. However, due to the sudden appearance of the Divine Domain Flowing Light in the sky, our Fu family, not wanting to miss the opportunity, decided to move the assessment forward. If we have been abrupt, please forgive us!"

"Being recognized by the Fu family’s young lady is an honor for us..." Everyone responded with smiles.

Zhang Xuan glanced over at the old woman who had spoken. Her strength might not be on par with Shi Yunjing or Qian Yuhuan, but the Fu family, with their expertise in flattery, could align with many influential forces. Perhaps even the royal family wouldn’t dare to underestimate them.

According to Min Jiangtao, the two vice-masters of the Hall of Destiny were the sons-in-law of the Fu family... This was telling enough.

"This is the head of our family, but not my biological grandmother. She is my eldest grandmother. My real grandmother is ranked fourth and passed away a few years ago..." Fu Yingying sent a voice transmission.

"My condolences," Zhang Xuan comforted her.

Fu Yingying continued, "Originally, my grandmother intended to leave the position of family head to my grandmother, but for some reason, it was the eldest grandmother who succeeded. So… our branch has always been ostracized. To avoid trouble, I left for Hanyuancheng at a young age and hardly ever returned. I didn’t break through because I had no one to guide me. Fu Qingqing is the biological granddaughter of the eldest grandmother, and perhaps because of my grandmother, she has always looked down on me..."

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

No wonder they kept insulting each other upon meeting as sisters. It turned out there was a conflict between the older generations.

The old woman continued, "Although we’ve moved things forward, our Fu family will not treat everyone unfairly. No matter who eventually earns the qualification to inherit the Destiny, everyone who participates in the assessment will enter the Zhilanyou Valley with our Fu family, and all the treasures obtained will be shared together!"

"That’s great!"

"The Fu family’s nobility, we all admire..." Everyone’s eyes lit up, especially Yan Thirty-Three, who looked excited.

The fact that he had been charmed by Fu Jingjing had a lot to do with this.

Zhilanyou Valley, ranked 21st in the Divine Domain of Destiny, was home to numerous treasures, and it was clear how valuable it was. Moreover, since his Yan family’s base wasn’t in Zouyi City, it would be easy for them to be taken advantage of if they entered recklessly. With the Fu family’s backing, even if someone wanted to make trouble, they would have to think twice.

The Fu family master said, "No need for pleasantries. The assessment concerns the inheritance of our family’s Destiny. Everything will be decided by the matriarch. Please, everyone, follow me to the ancestral hall."

"Yes!" Everyone followed the old woman, and after a moment, they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall. It was a small courtyard that housed many memorial tablets. An elderly woman with white hair lay on a bench, her eyes closed, without any movement.

"Mother..." The Fu family master lowered her voice, "The participants in the assessment have arrived!"

The white-haired old woman slowly opened her eyes and glanced at everyone, eventually focusing on Yan Thirty-Three. She nodded in satisfaction, "A good genius. It seems the efforts from twenty years ago were not in vain..."

"Mother, your calculations are flawless, so of course there is no problem..." The Fu family master smiled faintly.

"Let them introduce themselves first. It's been twenty years, and I don't recognize them anymore..." The white-haired old woman waved her hand.

The Fu family master nodded, straightened up, and looked around. "The matriarch would like to meet you all, so please introduce yourselves!"

"Greetings, matriarch and family head. I am Fu Jingjing, and this person beside me is the number one genius of Zouyi City, Yan Thirty-Three. He is only sixteen years old but has already reached the first level of the Starry River Realm!" Fu Jingjing stepped forward first, smiling as she introduced, with Yan Thirty-Three proudly stepping forward as well.

"Matriarch, family head, I am Fu Weiwei, and this is the seventh prince of Zouyi King's City, Shen Wujun, who is twenty-seven years old and has reached the early stage of the third level of the Starry River Realm!"

"Matriarch, family head, I am Fu Qingqing, and this is Su Yunzhe..."

Everyone began introducing themselves.

After listening for a while, Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded.

The young people who had been charmed were either top three geniuses on the potential ranking or royal princes. One of them was even the son of the Stone Hall Master...

Not to mention the others, just these few individuals almost encompassed the most powerful forces of the entire Zouyi Dynasty.

Soon, it was Fu Yingying’s turn.

"… I am Fu Yingying, and this is Zhang Xuan, who just arrived in Zouyi King's City from Hanyuancheng. His cultivation is… at the peak of the Dharma Image Realm!"

"Peak of the Dharma Image Realm? He’s from Hanyuancheng? No strength, no power?"

"With this cultivation, does he need to rely on charm? A simple wave of the hand could summon a crowd!"

"He doesn’t even qualify to be a lapdog. Yingying actually brought him to participate in the assessment. Does she intend to give up?" Everyone sneered.

As a member of the Fu family, one didn't need to rely on flattery. Just announcing a name was enough for people of this level to rush over. Only Fu Yingying would directly bring someone like this.

"Peak of the Dharma Image Realm? When did our Fu family’s core disciples' assessment allow such cultivators to participate?" The Fu family master frowned.

As core disciples, they had undergone bloodline baptism since childhood. Even if their talent wasn't the highest, they shouldn’t have chosen someone this poor, right?

Seeing the ridicule, Fu Yingying’s face flushed red as she stepped forward. "Zhang Xuan's strength isn’t very high, but... just a moment ago, he easily defeated Su Yunzhe, whom Fu Qingqing brought!"

The Fu family master frowned and looked over. "Qingqing, is what Yingying said true?"

Fu Qingqing quickly explained, "Yunzhe is at least seven or eight years younger than him, and he hasn’t practiced as long. In terms of talent, he’s definitely stronger than the old guy I brought..."

"A genius is judged by potential, by the future. Relying on age to bully the young, not only does he lack talent, but his character doesn’t seem to be much better either!" The Fu family master gave Zhang Xuan another look, sneering in her heart.

But unlike her thoughts, the matriarch also turned to look at Zhang Xuan and couldn't help but say, "Aiyo..."
