Chapter 182 Fu Xue's Wavering
Just then, Fu Xue clearly saw the young man behind her. She suddenly felt as if a spring breeze had caressed her face, and a secret tenderness arose. The anger in her heart dissipated by more than half.
With her rich life experience, she was actually moved.
"Wait!"
Her hand, which she had swung out, paused midway and changed to a gesture of restraint, stopping the three bodyguards who were rushing forward.
Fu Xue was astonished.
Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning? Fu Xue turned around in anger and swung another slap. The several bodyguards she had brought surged forward together.
Just then, Fu Xue clearly saw the young man behind her. She suddenly felt as if a spring breeze had caressed her face, and a secret tenderness arose. The anger in her heart dissipated by more than half.
With her rich life experience, she was actually moved.
Wait!
Her hand, which she had swung out, paused midway and changed to a gesture of restraint, stopping the three bodyguards who were rushing forward.
Fu Xue examined the young man before her with admiration. "You are the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning?"
As she asked this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
She had seen photos of the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning and knew what he looked like, but only now that she saw him in person did she realize that he really didn't photograph well.
The Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning before her had a handsome face, calm eyes, and a mysterious and ethereal temperament. His eyebrows and eyes hid nobility, and he possessed an unusual charm. Just standing there without saying a word made Fu Xue feel a strong sense of goodwill in her heart.
"It is I," Zhang Yuanqing slightly nodded, releasing his mother-in-law's wrist, his face full of gentleness, courtesy, frugality, and humility, and said, "Aunt, seeing you, I finally understand why Guan Ya is so beautiful.
It turns out it's because you have good genes. I think Guan Ya is still a little inferior compared to you."
That was the truth. His mother-in-law's appearance surprised him a little. She was too beautiful and too young. Standing with Guan Ya...
He figured that a woman praised as "beautiful" by Ling Jun wouldn't be bad.
Guan Ya's habit of wearing suits and white shirts turned out to be learned from her mother. "How eloquent." Fu Xue said with a smile. The beautiful and charming woman raised her hand and gently patted Zhang Yuanqing's face.
"Now I understand why Guan Ya is so fond of you. Tsk tsk, looking so pitiful and charming, any woman would be moved."
She glanced at Guan Ya. "Indeed not bad."
Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, fortunately, I am not the Devil Monarch; otherwise, Aunt, you would be in danger.
What's going on?
Guan Ya was stunned. Yuan Shi's flattering was within her expectations and matched his character, but her mother's reaction was truly unexpected. Although, in her eyes, Yuan Shi was very charming and handsome, that was because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Guan Ya was aware of that.
The name of the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning was indeed difficult to seduce young girls, such as the two concubines in the villa who had not given up. But her mother, an experienced older woman, shouldn't show this kind of expression.
What kind of men hadn't she seen?
Amidst her doubts, Guan Ya's eyes flashed with vigilance, and anger welled up in her heart because she saw a trace of interest in her mother's eyes.
Her mother had a trace of interest in her man.
Fu Qingyang's expression was slightly dazed, but he quickly recovered, and after examining the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning, he seemed to understand something.
"Aunt has good taste," Zhang Yuanqing gave a thumbs up, and seizing the opportunity, he pleaded,
"Aunt, Guan Ya and I are truly in love. I beg you to be merciful and help us achieve our happiness. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Fu Xue "tsk tsk" again and affectionately patted the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning's face, then her face turned stern: "No way!"
As expected, it's not that easy. The Peach Blossom Talisman only enhanced her goodwill towards me and didn't reach the point of being blinded by lust. Zhang Yuanqing sighed secretly, unwilling to give up, and said: "Aunt, how should I prove my ability? Perhaps, what do you want? Just say it, as long as you don't take Guan Ya away, I will do everything to satisfy you."
"Guan Ya felt a warmth in her heart. As a Scout, she could read Yuan Shi's mind. He was saying that he would kill his mother-in-law, but in fact, he was thinking of her everywhere.
"There is no room for maneuver in this matter," Fu Xue coldly
coldly refused, then her expression turned gentle, and she said with a smile: "Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning, you are a genius who is cultivated by the officialdom as a priority. You will have limitless prospects in the future. Why bother thinking about the Foxtail Grass of my family?
Auntie won't dwell on what happened between you and Guan Ya. Of course, Auntie can compensate..."
She glanced at Fu Qingyang and Guan Ya, and then took her words back.
Without saying any more nonsense, Fu Xue took a step back, clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, stood elegantly, and said indifferently:
"Take Miss Guan Ya away."
The three bodyguards immediately approached Guan Ya.
Guan Ya quickly retreated, grabbed into the void with her right hand, and the sound of a dragon's roar echoed. A three-foot bronze sword appeared in her palm.
The Han Bafang that Fu Qingyang had given her. Guan Ya looked at her mother in the distance, and there was no more hesitation or weakness in her heart. "Obviously, you didn't take my words to heart, Fu Xue. I am ready to be an orphan, are you ready?
Ready for what?" Fu's mother frowned and said.
Guan Ya pointed her sword straight ahead, and the sword energy forced back a formal bodyguard who stepped forward, and said calmly: "Loss of a child!" The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Fu Xue's pretty face froze, her phoenix eyes widened, and her beautiful fingers, which had never touched the mundane world, clenched into fists, trembling slightly. She was already on the verge of rage.
"A conflict is still unavoidable." Zhang Yuanqing sighed and was about to walk towards Guan Ya and fight alongside her.
At this time, Fu Qingyang's cold and calm voice broke the imminent situation. "Yuan Shi, Guan Ya, you two go out first. I have something to say to my aunt."
Fu Qingyang glanced at them.
The boss has a way to deal with this insane mother-in-law? I thought he would stand idly by. The boss really loves me. Zhang Yuanqing understood Fu Qingyang's hint and was overjoyed.
He had blind faith in Young Master Qian's methods.
Zhang Yuanqing didn't hesitate, grabbed his girlfriend's hand and left, not forgetting to turn back and flatter Fu Xue, "Aunt, you and the boss can chat slowly. Guan Ya and I will wait downstairs."
Fu Xue really didn't refuse, and gave a lukewarm "hmm" sound.
She had plenty of time. Guan Ya could run away for a while, but she couldn't run away forever.
After the two left, Fu Qingyang slowly said:
"The Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning is different from you trash. He has extremely strong potential and a strong heart that surges forward in adversity. His promotion to Ruler is only a
matter of time, Aunt. What you are rejecting is an Elder."
"He is indeed different," Fu Xue walked back to her desk, sat down lazily, and curled her lips. "He is a very charismatic young man. I admit he is very charming.
After a slight pause, she put away her seductive posture, placed her jade fingers on her lower abdomen, and said seriously:
"Before I came, I investigated his information. Although his promotion speed in the Extraordinary stage is comparable to Xuan Xuan's, and although the officialdom calls him a potential Alliance Leader, you and I both know
how difficult the Demi-God stage is. Performance in the Extraordinary stage doesn't mean anything. Only if he maintains such a terrifying rate of promotion in the Saint stage will I admit his potential.
"And that can only show that he will become a Ruler. As for the potential of an Alliance Leader, since the first batch of The Way of the Extraordinary were born, there have been not
a few who have progressed as rapidly as the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning, but how many are like Xuan Xuan?
The Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning may really become an Elder. Heh, does our Fu family lack an official Elder?
The Miller family can give us more. The gains of a century-old
family lie in connections, commercial resources, intelligence channels, and every industry, in every aspect."
She was like a strong career woman at a business negotiation table, with clear logic and powerful language.
Fu Qingyang gave a concise evaluation of his aunt's long speech: "Stupid!"
"Haven't you noticed that since the battle for the Light Compass, the Fu family has gradually shifted its foundation to the country? When Fu Qingxuan challenged the trial, she faced nine deaths and one survival. Why didn't the family
elders stop her?
"I chose to join the White Tiger Army and chose to work in Songhai. Why did the family elders still agree? According to the habits of the past few years, they prefer to throw
the The Way of the Extraordinary in the family to the Heavenly Punishment to train.
"At worst, it is investing on both sides, but in recent years, young people in the family with qualifications and talents have been arranged into the Five Elements Alliance.
Have you ever thought about why?"
Fu Xue's delicate eyebrows slowly furrowed.
In recent years, she had gradually moved away from the Fu family's power core and was sent by the family elders to manage the family's industry. Because of the information gap, she had become slow
and insensitive in many things. It was precisely because of this that she was eager to marry Guan Ya into the Miller family, so as to return to the Fu family's power core.
Fu Xue pursed her red and sexy lips and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say."
"In a few years, the Fu family's power will completely transfer back from abroad. If they want to take root locally, there will inevitably be a series of power struggles. Relying on Fu Qingxuan alone is not
enough. The Alliance Leader doesn't handle affairs. She can only act as a deterrent and cannot produce practical effects." Fu Qingyang said eloquently:
"Therefore, the family elders will definitely support me in entering headquarters and let me act as the family's spokesperson. The process will not be smooth. At this time, having a New Elder with unlimited potential
supporting me, what does that mean? You should be able to understand."
Fu Qingyang supported the table, leaned over, and faced his aunt closely, saying indifferently:
"In a few years, once the family elders decide to sell off overseas assets and shift their focus to domestic development, what is the point of you clinging to the Miller family?
"Don't think that this is just a failed investment. It's not that simple. By then, you've already married Guan Ya out, and the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning will hate you and take
revenge on you.
Do you think the family elders will choose to sacrifice you to quell his anger?"
Fu Xue's face changed.
She took a deep breath and questioned, almost touching faces with her nephew:
"Fu Qingyang, stop trying to fool me. The marriage is arranged by the family elders and concerns the family's development plan. The family has many layouts overseas, how can it
be transferred just like that?"
Fu Qingyang straightened up, looked down at his aunt's beautiful face, and said indifferently: "The family elders just want to make another fortune before transferring assets. Anyway, what loss is there to the family in marrying off Guan Ya? But Aunt, you only have one
daughter. Or," Fu Qingyang used the most expressionless face to say the most venomous words, "You can consider marrying yourself to the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning."
He was mocking Fu Xue's attitude change just now when facing the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning.
Fu Xue didn't care about her nephew's venomous words, she fell into deep thought.
She had to admit that Fu Qingyang's words hit her weakness every sentence, making her unable to ignore them. Fu Xue suddenly doubted, "I didn't expect you to waste so much time and words with me for Guan Ya's sake, this doesn't seem like you."
Fu Qingyang's statement was fine, but he was too active. This was too much of a contrast from the impression of her heartless, full of bad ideas, and naturally indifferent nephew.
This kid was cold and mean to his clansmen, calling them trash at every turn. When he saw his peers who had bullied him in the past, he casually broke their legs, and his methods were extremely cruel.
He was only a little nicer to Guan Ya, but only a little nicer.
When has Fu Qingyang ever been so helpful?
Fu Xue had reason to suspect that her nephew was fooling her.
"That weak trash of course doesn't deserve me wasting my breath," Fu Qingyang said indifferently: "I'm doing it for the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning."
"For the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning?" A look of astonishment flashed across Fu Xue's face.
She couldn't understand this reason even more.

Fu Qingyang glanced at the three bodyguards standing by, "You guys go out first."
The three bodyguards looked at Fu Xue, and after getting her nod, they turned and left.
Fu Qingyang stood upright by the table and said:
"I value the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning very much. He and I are of the same kind, and we both have the heart of a strong person.
I am also very optimistic about him. He is my confidant and will become my help in reaching the peak in the future. I think this friendship needs to be carefully cultivated, so
please don't ruin my affairs.
Of course, helping him deal with emotional problems is my little reward."
Speaking of this, Fu Qingyang grabbed a black cloak embroidered with gold thread and cloud patterns, gently placed it on the table, and looked at Fu Xue and said:
"The Miller family can give you connections and commercial resources, but they can't give you this. You can touch it, but I only allow you to touch a corner."
"A defensive item?" Fu Xue frowned, stretched out a jade finger, and pressed it on a corner of the cloak.
The next second, the item information appeared.
Fu Xue only glanced at it, and her whole body trembled, trembling with emotional excitement, her beautiful eyes flashing with greed, and her face was in a daze, as if she couldn't believe that there were
props with such attributes in the world.
For a Scout, this was a treasure that surpassed rule-based props.
While she was still immersed in shock, Fu Qingyang had already put away the Court Swordsman Cloak. Even Qian Gongzi, who was extremely wealthy, treasured this prop.
"You, how do you have this kind of prop?" Fu Xue breathed heavily and stared at him fiercely: "How could you have this kind of prop?"
Fu Qingyang said indifferently: "The Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning gave it to me."
"Given by the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning..." Fu Xue was instantly dumbfounded and slumped in the back of her chair.
She understood what Fu Qingyang meant by reward and understood why the dignified Young Master Fu would condescend to care about the emotional problems of his subordinates.
What did the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning give?
He gave a treasure that would cause a bloody storm in the Scout family. Compared with this prop, the benefits obtained from the Miller family marriage were simply a joke.
"The Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning is indeed a grassroots and doesn't have assets or connections in every industry, but his foundation is deeper than you think. If you just
treat him as a young man with good potential, you will definitely regret it," Fu Qingyang said indifferently:
Of course, I am not implying that the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning will also give you similar props. I am just letting you correctly evaluate his value, and then think carefully,
whether to accept their relationship or to go all the way to the Miller family."
At this point, Fu Qingyang's mental attack was basically completed, with only the last step remaining:
"You don't have to give an answer now, you can observe for a few more months. Investing is not urgent."
He turned and left chicly, leaving Fu Xue alone sitting by the table, staring blankly.
Since deciding to get married, for many years, she had been shaken and hesitant for the first time.
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the study was pushed open, and a formal bodyguard strode in and stopped by the table, offering a phone: "Boss, your phone."
Fu Xue then came back to her senses, her empty pupils regained their brilliance, and she looked at the phone. The caller was: Chen Shu.
Fu Xue took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, kept her voice from sounding abnormal, and then answered the phone:
"Hello!" "You said we were going to play sailing on Lake Wilga, where are you?" A mature and feminine voice came from the phone.
