Chapter 3 A Space That Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

Chu Chenyin was quite surprised. She cautiously approached the entrance of the stairs and looked up. A blue glowing word suddenly appeared on the glass door. It read: Upgrading.

Then, there was a row of small characters and a progress bar below, with the words next to the progress bar: 1 hour remaining until the fourth-floor space upgrade is complete.

In other words, her space could be upgraded infinitely over time.

Chu Chenyin was startled and quickly rubbed her eyes and pinched her face. The door was still there.

It wasn’t a dream, it was real!

Chu Chenyin quickly recovered from her astonishment. She had lost her parents at a young age and had come out of an orphanage to become a mercenary. She had earned enough money to retire in her twenties, relying on her excellent skills and medical expertise. She used her retirement money to build this three-story building in a small town and opened a supermarket. Although she was young, she had seen all sorts of storms and wouldn’t be scared by something like this.

She left the space with her thoughts and returned to the Fu family.

At this time, Fu Yanting returned.

He was accompanied by the Lady Fu, Qu Yan, and the third Miss Fu, Fu Jianghong.

Lady Fu and Marquis Fu had been married for decades and had always been deeply in love. They had two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Fu Yanting, the second son, Fu Xingcheng, and the third daughter, Fu Jianghong.

The three children were about the same age and had been fighting on the battlefield with the Marquis since childhood, developing their skills. They were not as weak and delicate as other young masters from noble families.

Fu Jianghong, the third Miss Fu, was wearing a dark blue riding outfit, her long hair tied into a high ponytail, like a man, and she walked towards Chu Chenyin with a dashing air, asking, “Sister-in-law, are you sure you heard correctly? It was the emperor who arranged the secret letter, he wants to exterminate our Fu family?”

Chu Chenyin nodded firmly. The historical records wouldn’t be wrong.

Fu Jianghong turned to Lady Fu, “Mother, what should we do? If Sister-in-law is telling the truth, then our Fu family is in real danger.”

Lady Fu, Qu Yan, pondered for a moment and said, “If that’s the case, then everything makes sense. Why did the emperor rush to summon your elder brother and second brother back from the border? Why did he order them not to bring any soldiers when they returned to the city? Why did he choose this time to arrange a marriage for your elder brother? It seems the emperor wants to catch us in a trap!”

Fu Jianghong frowned and said fiercely, “That dog emperor is doing this to us, why don’t we just rebel against him!”

Fu Yanting clasped his hands, his eyes fixed on the distance, and he said with a slight smile, “Rebel? Our Fu family’s soldiers are all in the far north of Mobei.”

Chu Chenyin quickly said, “Escape! Let’s leave here before the emperor takes action!”

Ten days later, fire stones will fall from the sky in the capital, and then spread from there to over twenty states, entering a drought unseen in a hundred years. Within three months, the entire Dayong Kingdom will also experience an earthquake unseen in a thousand years.

The only safe place in the entire Dayong Dynasty is to the north.

However, Mobei is a vast desert of wind and sand. To make a living, you have to go further, to find a suitable place to live.

If they could leave the capital before the natural disaster and then catch up with the army in Mobei, it would be the best outcome.

Fu Yanting looked at Chu Chenyin, his bright black eyes twirled, and he nodded with a smile, “Mother, I think my wife makes a lot of sense!”

If it were ordinary people, they wouldn’t believe Chu Chenyin’s words.

Who would be willing to abandon their current wealth for an unknown event?

But Fu Yanting was no ordinary person. It was not surprising that Lady Fu and Fu Jianghong would say such things to him. They trusted the general’s judgment very much and followed him to the front hall.

At this time, Marquis Fu also returned. After hearing about the secret letter from Fu Yanting, he immediately sent his trusted aides to investigate. As Chu Chenyin said, the emperor wanted to kill them.

Otherwise, how could a noble marquis mansion be so easily convinced by a little girl’s words to determine the emperor’s murderous intent.

Marquis Fu was an extremely calm person. After deep thought, he immediately called his family together to discuss the matter.

“The envoy from the Fan Kingdom is fake, the treason is just an excuse. No matter what we do this time, the emperor only has one thought, and that is to take the lives of all of us in the Fu family.”

Fu Xingcheng, with a rough personality, slammed his long sword on the table, “I’m going to the palace to kill that dog emperor now!”

Fu Jianghong stood on a chair, holding a long spear, her long ponytail swaying, “Second brother, I have the same intention!”

Marquis Fu frowned, unusually calm. He sat in the main hall and pondered for a moment before making the most difficult decision, “Second son, you send someone to control the entire marquis mansion now, don’t let anyone leave.”

“Yes, Father.” Fu Xingcheng immediately responded, putting away his long sword.

“Eldest, you find a way to pack as much of the family’s wealth as you can, travel light, and we’ll take it with us!” Marquis Fu turned to Fu Yanting and instructed.

Fu Yanting clasped his arms and responded solemnly, “Yes, Father.”

Marquis Fu turned to Lady Fu and the third Miss Fu, Fu Jianghong, and instructed, “You and our third daughter send a few trusted aides to pack up the family’s valuables, and send another trusted aide to stay behind and immediately dismiss all the servants in the mansion after we leave!”

Lady Fu looked up at him in a daze, “Marquis, what do you mean?”

Marquis Fu slowly stood up, looking at the court he had served for most of his life, and said solemnly, “The envoy from the Fan Kingdom has already entered the palace today, we have at most one night. So we have to leave the capital before dawn!”

Lady Fu was startled, but the shock quickly disappeared, and her elegant and noble face was only left with composure and calmness. She responded decisively, “Good!”

Chu Chenyin watched silently from the side, shocked by the decisive and calm Fu family members.

Indeed, a family of military officials is different. They do things without hesitation, they are a good team.
