The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 289: Boss 278, you’ve fallen off the horse [3 updates]

“Ask them if they dare.”

“!”

Di Wu Hui’s scalp practically exploded.

Fu Yunshen always managed to keep his anger hidden, appearing ever graceful and smiling.

With the gentlest voice, he uttered the cruelest words.

An oppressive sensation was overwhelming.

It was like a wheel rolling over one’s nerves, buzzing incessantly.

Finally, Di Wu Hui’s expression shattered, revealing unstoppable terror on his face.

“You… who the hell are you?!”

He never expected, even after bringing up the Lin Family, that this man would show no signs of backing down.

Naturally, Di Wu Hui could discern the meaning of “the entire Imperial Capital” in those words.

To the commoner, the top-tier families of the Imperial Capital were the Nie Family, Mu Family, and Xiu Family.

Even a direct lineage family member like Mu Weifeng from the Mu Family would think so.

But the reality was different.

The Ancient Martial World and Ancient Medical Field were both situated within the Imperial Capital.

If there were a true ranking of the Imperial Capital’s families by strength, no matter how massive the Mu Family’s business empire was, Ancient Medicine Families and Ancient Martial Families would still overshadow the Mu Family.

Because wealth had lost its allure for Ancient Medicine Families and Ancient Martial Families.

In the Ancient Medical Field and Ancient Martial World, strength was the absolute symbol.

The Di Wu Clan was precisely situated between these two worlds.

They had connections with the mundane world as well as ties to the Ancient Medical Field and Ancient Martial World.

If we’re talking about overall strength, the Di Wu Clan could rank ahead of the Mu Family.

Di Wu Hui clearly understood that when Fu Yunshen spoke of “the entire Imperial Capital,” he included the Ancient Medical Field and Ancient Martial World!

Just who was this man?

How could he dare say such things?

But Di Wu Hui had no way to voice his doubts because a golden thread had pierced right through his shoulder.

Heart-wrenching pain flooded in instantly, and Di Wu Hui let out another agonizing scream.

Fu Yunshen didn’t even glance at the golden thread in his hand, his voice indifferent, “Did you use this hand to touch her just now?”

Di Wu Hui couldn’t respond.

The next second, every one of his fingers was penetrated by the golden thread.

Not a drop of blood seeped out, but the pain was unmitigated.

This was exactly what Di Wu Hui had intended to do to Ying Zijin.

Such golden threads were a specialty tool of Ancient Medicine, procured specifically from the Ancient Medical Field.

Di Wu Hui’s face turned deathly pale, sweat pouring down as he was in so much pain that he couldn’t even utter a sound.

After Fu Yunshen threaded all the golden threads through Di Wu Hui’s body,

he stood up and turned his head, “Call the Ancient Medical Field, have Di Wu Fan and the others return immediately.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Yun Shan took a glance at Di Wu Hui, who was rolling in agony, before putting down the gun and stepping outside to make the call.

The Di Wu Family was rife with factions.

This matter was also connected to other members of the Di Wu Family, and Yun Shan believed that his young master truly could make this last remaining Divination Family disappear from the Imperial Capital.

**

Ten minutes later, Nie Yi and members of the Yi Character Team arrived too.

But since the Di Wu Family Ancestral Home was very peculiar, the captain of the fourth team and the other members couldn’t enter and had to wait outside.

Nie Yi went in alone.

He saw Yun Shan, “Where’s your young master?”

“Oh right.” Yun Shan snapped back to reality, with a hint of pride, “The young master went to cook porridge for Miss Ying.”

Nie Yi shook his head and made his way to the kitchen.

Upon entering, he saw Fu Yunshen letting his own blood.

“Your blood…” Seeing what he was doing, Nie Yi couldn’t help but feel a slight shock, “Doing this will deplete your body’s essence.”

“Expendable,” Fu Yunshen said flatly, “It’s not anything important.”

Nie Yi didn’t say anything else.

He knew that Fu Yunshen’s blood was very special, more effective than some rare medicinal materials.

Although it couldn’t neutralize all poisons, consuming it like this could indeed help someone recover their vitality.

He had never seen Fu Yunshen feed his blood to anyone before.

“You and her…” Nie Yi pondered for a moment, “I remember The Star’s diagnosis report for you stated it was difficult for you to completely trust anyone, let alone be emotionally involved.”

Even as brothers for so many years, Fu Yunshen had never fully trusted him.

It was a psychological knot, an emotional ailment.

Without addressing the events from twenty years ago, Fu Yunshen couldn’t engage in emotions like a normal person.

He found it hard to invest deeply in anyone emotionally.

In the past, only Old Master Fu could touch Fu Yunshen’s soul.

Now, there was another.

Nie Yi thought this was a good sign.

At least it indicated that Fu Yunshen was gradually healing.

“It’s not what you think,” Fu Yunshen casually bandaged the wound, “I certainly don’t want to be arrested by the Yi Character Team on charges of abducting an underage girl.”

In his view, Ying Zijin was still young and needed his care like a sister.

Nie Yi fell silent, then after a long while, “So what exactly is she to you—”

Fu Yunshen turned off the stove, his smile gentle, “As long as I’m alive, I can protect her.”

It’s about neither romance nor the secular world.

This was a promise.

A promise for a lifetime.

“However, in the future, once my illness is completely cured—” Fu Yunshen picked up the bowl of porridge, his peach blossom eyes lifting, “I might need to ask you for some advice.”

He paused, then asked, “And what about your little girlfriend?”

Nie Yi: “…”

**

On the other side.

After receiving the notice, Di Wu Fan hurried back without fully understanding the situation.

Although the Ancient Medical Field is located in the Imperial Capital, it would take at least two hours to actually travel there from the city center.

By the time Di Wu Fan rushed back to the Di Wu Family Ancestral Home, it was already eleven o’clock at night.

The lights were still brightly shining.

Di Wu Fan walked in to see Di Wu Yue squatting at the entrance of the west courtyard, sighing deeply.

The person was fine, though.

Di Wu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and called out, “Yueyue.”

Di Wu Yue shuddered and immediately jumped up, “Grandfather!”

Her grandfather, due to his poor health, rarely left his bed, so why had he arrived this time, leaning on a cane?

“Yueyue,” as soon as Di Wu Fan caught a glimpse of Di Wu Yue, his expression changed abruptly, “You—”

He took a few more steps forward, grabbed Di Wu Yue’s hand, and spread it open to look.

The more he looked, the graver his expression became.

Di Wu Yue did not understand the meaning of Di Wu Fan’s actions, “Grandfather? What’s wrong with my hand?”

“A Life Pattern change…” Di Wu Fan murmured as he looked, his demeanor suddenly becoming agitated, “It has to be her, it can only be her!”

Di Wu Yue was taken aback, “Grandfather, what do you mean ‘it has to be her’?”

“Yueyue, you really are blessed with great fortune,” Di Wu Fan said, too hurried to explain, “Where is the Miss you brought back home? Where is she now? Is she alright?”

“Miss just woke up,” Di Wu Yue wiped off sweat, “Her brother came, she’s fine now.”

Otherwise, she would really have become a sinner.

“That’s good, that’s very good,” Di Wu Fan gave a long sigh of relief, “Yueyue, wait here, Grandfather will go have a look.”

He leaned on his cane and walked inside.

Yun Shan was waiting outside. Upon seeing Di Wu Fan approach, he rolled his eyes, “Old Patriarch, you finally arrived. How exactly are you managing the house?”

He said as much.

But Yun Shan also knew that Di Wu Hui and Di Wu Fan were not from the same line, with Di Wu Hui having long sought to ascend to power.

Di Wu Fan had become like this, with the spirit willing but the flesh weak.

“No, please let me see that Miss,” Di Wu Fan then realized that his emotions were overly intense, so he calmed himself a bit, “She saved Yueyue, and I would like to express my gratitude to her.”

Yun Shan was about to say something else when the door behind him opened.

Fu Yunshen walked out.

He raised his hand, stopping Yun Shan, and looked at Di Wu Fan, “Ten minutes, her health isn’t very good.”

“Thank you, thank you so much,” Di Wu Fan said his thanks repeatedly, leaning on his cane, he trembled as he walked into the room.

Yun Shan glanced at the closed door, “Young Master, is Miss Ying alright?”

“There is a problem,” Fu Yunshen’s gaze paused, “You who practice ancient martial arts, you know how important the body’s source is, right?”

Yun Shan’s expression turned solemn, “Miss Ying’s body source has been damaged? Young Master, haven’t you asked her what she did?”

Fu Yunshen glanced at him, indifferent, “No need.”

Just like Ying Zijin wouldn’t ask who wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t ask this.

He just needed to help her recover, and that was enough.

Yun Shan: “…”

He probably understood. Was this the trust and understanding between magnates?

**

Inside the room.

Ying Zijin sat at the bedside, looking at the stars outside the window.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her head to look at the newcomer.

It was an elderly man.

She didn’t need to guess to know that this elder was the current patriarch of the Di Wu Family and also Di Wu Yue’s grandfather, Di Wu Fan.

Ying Zijin coughed a few times and her eyes became more focused, “You—”

Di Wu Fan adjusted his clothes.

Despite his legs being feeble and his body having been weakened for many years,

Even so, even if he had to use a cane, he knelt down with a trembling body.

Kneeling down, bowing his head, performing a salute, he paid his grand respects.

His aged voice was filled with reverence.

“Di Wu Shaoxian, the 11th generation descendant Di Wu Fan, greets the Ancestor Master.”
