78: Chapter Seventy Eight : Heaven Moves, While I Sit 78: Chapter Seventy Eight : Heaven Moves, While I Sit Chapter Seventy Eight : Heaven Moves, While I Sit Just as Fang Ting was about to head out to go fishing, housekeeper Fu Bo ca to report that an old acquaintance had arrived: Lü Zhen, the city lord of Yuhe City.
Fang Ting went to the guest hall to receive him.
With him was his grandson, Lü Chenlong.
The mont he saw Fang Ting, Lü Zhen was visibly startled.
He quickly cupped his hands and said: “Brother Fang!
It’s been a year—who would’ve thought you’re already in the Purple Mansion realm.
Truly, congratulations!” He was filled with disbelief.
When the Fang family first moved to Yuhe City, Fang Ting had only been mid-stage Core Formation.
After half a year, he left at late-stage Core Formation.
Now, just a year later, he’d broken into Purple Mansion?
This cultivation speed…
even prodigies like Su Xinyan weren’t much faster!
He couldn’t understand it.
Even if the Fang family had gotten rich and Fang Ting had all the resources in the world—this fast?
It didn’t make sense.
Did he encounter so great fortune?
Or maybe he was a late bloor and awakened a special constitution?
“It’s just dumb luck,” Fang Ting waved his hand casually.
“Brother Lü, have so tea.” Lü Zhen lifted the spirit tea freshly poured by a servant, took a sip, and imdiately praised it.
“Since your family moved to Lingyue City, life’s not only more comfortable, but you’ve developed astonishingly fast.
I’m truly envious.” He could tell from the tea’s quality—this was the kind of stuff his own City Lord’s Mansion only served to top VIP guests.
Not to ntion where the Fang family now lived—the rich district of Lingyue City.
On the way over, he’d seen quite a few Fang family mbers.
Compared to when they were in Yuhe City, they were clearly far stronger now.
Back then, the Fang family was scraping by as a bottom-tier fourth-class power.
Now they were among the top fourth-tier forces.
At this rate, becoming a third-tier, or even a second-tier power, was only a matter of ti.
So what he said wasn’t flattery—he genuinely ant it.
And deep down, he regretted more than ever not securing a marriage alliance with the Fang family when he had the chance.
Fang Ting, as polite as always, replied, “We’re rely fortunate to have the Lingyue Sect’s support.” In most outsiders’ eyes, the Fang family’s rapid rise was thanks to that connection—and Fang Ting didn’t bother to correct them.
“Brother, you’re far too humble,” Lü Zhen said.
He understood the Lingyue Sect helped—but he was convinced Fang Ting’s hard work played a major role.
On that point…
he was completely wrong.
Fang Ting quickly shifted the topic.
“Chenlong’s co a long way.
Last ti I saw him he was still building his foundation—now he’s at the Spirit Gathering realm.
You’ve got a solid successor, Brother Lü.” “He’s still far behind your nephew Fang Mu Ge,” Lü Zhen replied.
If anyone else had complinted Lü Chenlong, he would’ve been happy.
But coming from Fang Ting, he couldn’t smile at all.
Lü Chenlong and Fang Mu Ge had joined the Lingyue Sect at the sa ti, two years ago.
Now Fang Mu Ge was already mid-Core Formation, and had beco the youngest personal disciple in the sect’s history.
anwhile, Lü Chenlong was still just at Spirit Gathering.
To be fair, that was still impressive.
He had a spiritual body, after all.
If not for Fang Mu Ge, he would’ve been the brightest disciple in the last few years.
Alas—if there’s a Yu, there’s a Liang.
(i.e., when one star rises, it eclipses the others.) Thankfully, Lü Chenlong had self-awareness.
He never tried to compete with Fang Mu Ge.
Thanks to the family’s relationship with the Fang Clan, he could still speak to Fang Mu Ge occasionally.
Sotis Fang Mu Ge even asked him to help with errands—and he was more than happy to oblige.
All in all, Lü Zhen had raised him well.
Lü Chenlong had perspective and vision.
Suddenly, Fang Ting asked, “You didn’t co to Lingyue City just to visit, did you?” Lü Zhen laughed.
“I knew you’d be unaware of current events, always locked in cultivation!” “Oh?” Fang Ting smiled.
“So sothing big happened in Lingyue City recently?” He was indeed out of the loop—but not because of cultivation.
Lü Zhen explained: “Have you heard of Shangguan Zhuo?” Fang Ting shook his head.
Lü Zhen put down his cup and reminisced.
“Ninety years ago, this man was arguably the greatest genius in the Great Qi Dynasty.
I’m about his age…
but could never even see his shadow, much less catch up.” ‘Greatest’ ant that even other top-tier talents of his era fell short.
“That incredible?
What faction does he belong to?” Fang Ting asked curiously.
Back in the backwater city of Yunshan, the Fang family didn’t know much about top figures unless they were truly famous.
Lü Zhen smiled.
“That’s the amazing part—he was a rogue cultivator.” “What?” Fang Ting was stunned.
A loose cultivator reaching such heights?
Did he have a golden finger (system)?
Lü Zhen continued, “So say he inherited the legacy of a great figure, but no one knows for sure.
The point is: he’s in Lingyue City right now.” “What’s he doing here?” Fang Ting asked, intrigued.
Lü Zhen straightened up.
“Actually, he’s also been to Taixu City and the imperial capital.
He might even travel to other kingdoms—or further.” Fang Ting asked, “Is he looking for sothing?” Lü Zhen nodded.
“He’s looking for soone who can save his wife.” “What happened to her?” Fang Ting asked, now feeling like a sidekick feeding lines.
Can’t this guy just finish his story in one go?
He decided to stop interrupting.
Lü Zhen explained calmly: “Back before Shangguan Zhuo made a na for himself, he t his wife.
They hit it off instantly and pledged themselves to each other.” “But she ca from a small clan.
Her family wanted to marry her into a larger power to elevate their status.” “Helpless, the couple eloped.
This angered the other power—they’re all about face, as you know—so they wiped out her family and sent people to kill the pair.” “Devastated, she and Shangguan Zhuo fought while fleeing.
During a fierce battle, she was gravely wounded and fell into a false-death state.” “To preserve her, Shangguan Zhuo sealed her away using a secret thod.
While cultivating and evading pursuit, he also searched for a way to revive her.” “You can probably guess the rest—he rose in power, shook the Great Qi Dynasty, and eventually destroyed that faction.” “But to this day, he’s still searching for a way to save her.” “He’s already been to the Great Chu Dynasty and the Black Feather Dynasty.
Now he’s back in Great Qi.
If he can’t find an answer here, he’ll go further still.” “He’s said: Anyone who can revive his wife—he’ll serve them, without question, for a full century.” “So everywhere he goes, all kinds of factions and cultivators try to help.
If they succeed, they’ll gain a peak Nascent Soul realm follower.” “Shangguan Zhuo is late Nascent Soul—invincible at his level, able to challenge above his realm, and he’s still full of potential.” Fang Ting clicked his tongue in amazent.
His first thought was: “Falling in love is dangerous.” In this world, if you didn’t have strength, you couldn’t even choose who to love.
He also silently thanked the heavens that his father-in-law, Su Xin, genuinely loved his daughter.
Otherwise, he might’ve beco the next Shangguan Zhuo.
