  He came out of the Qingxia Garden, looked at the pile of dan medicine in his hand, and closed his eyes to calm down for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, everything was still there, confirming that what happened earlier wasn't just a dream.

  Watching his nephew bid farewell to the elder of Qingxia Sect behind him, Xu Han felt a sense of pride and satisfaction for having a junior for the first time.

  He let out a gentle sigh of relief, now he could finally stop worrying about his daughter's affairs.

  This sigh seemed to be letting out all the depression. The pressure they had endured during this period was really too great. Xu Han and his wife had thought of countless ways, but none of them worked, and even their family began to force themselves, but who knew it would end like this in the end?

  After saying goodbye, Cang Ye didn't mention continuing to stroll through the night market again, although it was now the most lively time. However, seeing his brother-in-law's relaxed and urgent expression, Cang Ye knew he must have a thousand words to say to Xiao Shi. So, they directly returned to the Xu residence.

  As soon as he entered Xu Han's residence, Cang Ye was about to turn around and bid farewell to return to his room. However, he was pulled back by this aunt's husband.

  "Yèr, come over with your uncle for a moment. Your uncle has something to ask of you. I don't know if you have the time?" The question is whether or not he has time, not whether or not he's willing. This kind of questioning is really meaningful. If Cāng Yè is willing to help, then naturally he has the time; but if he doesn't want to help, it also leaves him a way out. After all, this nephew of his, in terms of status, is far higher than Xu Jia San Shao!"

  With a faint smile, he knew that after seeing all this, his uncle would definitely tell his own wife about his cousin's affair.

  "Aunt's husband, I understand what you mean. No matter what happens, I will do my best! So please rest assured and don't worry that I'll just stand by and do nothing."

  Hearing Cang Ye's response, Xu Han nodded in relief. As long as he was willing to help, this matter wasn't a big deal at all!

  "Thanks, brother-in-law! Come over here. I'll get your younger sister to tell you all about it!"

  After finishing speaking, he walked towards the living room first. He knew that at this time, his wife would definitely be waiting for him to return there.

  She said a word to the feather spirit beside her and followed Xu Han's footsteps towards the main hall.

  Looking at the departing figure of Cang Ye, Yu Ling smiled lightly. As for Xu Han not calling her to go together, she didn't mind at all. As long as her own Night Brother could treat her sincerely, that was enough!

  "How come you're back so early? Are you tired?" Asked Shangguan Yu, who was sitting in the hall and stood up to ask when he saw the two of them arrive.

  Xu Han didn't respond to Shangguan Yu's question, but instead looked at his wife with a relaxed and excited expression. Beside him, Cang Ye still had the same gentle smile as when he first arrived, standing quietly by their side.

  Xu Han stared at her like that, and Shangguan Yu's face also started to turn red, not understanding what was wrong with her husband. And besides, there was still a nephew staring over there.

  Just as she was about to speak, Xu Han spoke first.

  "Yu'er, something has changed for the better in Meimei's situation!"

  When Shangguan Yu heard her husband's words, she was initially disbelieving, but then became excited. For the sake of their daughter, they had almost lost hope recently. Even their family had come to pressure them into making a decision, and although they withstood the first wave of pressure, there would definitely be even more intense second and third waves later on. If it weren't for the fact that their daughter was their everything, the two of them would have given up long ago. So until now, they had persisted, uncompromisingly! Originally, these past few days were when they were supposed to make a decision, and for the sake of their daughter, the two of them were already exhausted. But now, her husband was saying that their daughter's situation had taken a turn for the better! This news thoroughly excited Shangguan Yu!

  "Old master, what's going on after all? What is meant by 'there's a turn for the better'?"

  Shaking Xu Han's shoulder, she couldn't wait to know everything. Her daughter was her everything, and now that she had suddenly heard the word "turning point", how could she not be excited?!

  Smiled slightly, gently took out those shaking hands of mine, and shifted my gaze to the smiling Cang Ye on the side. Said with a hint of emotion.

  "Thanks to you having a good sister!"

  Upon hearing her husband's words, Shangguan Yu seemed to have understood as well. Previously, for such a long time, there was no progress or hope at all, but now that her nephew had arrived, a turning point appeared. It must be related to Cang Ye.

  "Yèr, can you tell Auntie what's going on?"

  Seeing that the target was not her husband, but rather Cang Ye on the side, Shangguan Yu immediately threw Xu Han to one side. Cang Ye looked at him with a hint of helplessness.

  "Auntie, it's like this. My master has some status in the Qingxia Sect, so I can also mobilize some of the sect's power along with him. If you really have any trouble that needs help, I'm happy to assist you anytime."

  Upon hearing Cang Ye's words, Shangguan Yu was also slightly shocked. What concept is Qingxia Sect? Even if she didn't ask about worldly affairs, she would still know! That's a huge sect that controls the entire eastern continent. Compared to it, the entire Dreamfall Empire probably doesn't even count as anything!

  However, the nephew in front of him can actually mobilize the power of this massive object. Although it may only be a little bit, this little bit is enough to make the entire Dreamfall Empire dare not oppose! I'm afraid his master is not just someone with some status, but rather someone with very high status!

  If Xu Han hadn't seen the attitude of the Seventeenth Prince, he would have thought that it was because Cang Ye had a good master that he could get respect from others. However, seeing the unparalleled prince slap his own face after hearing Cang Ye's name made him realize that things were absolutely not that simple!

  Can someone who can be recognized as a "Night Sword Sect" disciple be an ignorant disciple who relies on his master for everything?

  Just by looking at this nephew's attitude, it seems that he is not willing to deeply reveal some things. Since he doesn't want to, there's no need for me to take the risk of making him resentful by saying something irrelevant.

  "Yè ér, actually this matter wasn't that your aunt and uncle didn't tell you, it's just that previously they hadn't thought of your background, afraid that you would rashly get involved and end up harming yourself. Since you have the entire Qingxia Sect as a backing, then your aunt can also be at ease and say..."

  Shangguan Yu didn't tell him the reason before, and Cang Ye could also guess some of it himself. So, he didn't have much opinion on the original who only told him now.

  Listening to the whole story, Cang Ye also had some regrets about its complexity, but fortunately, there were no emotional entanglements in between, otherwise it would have been even harder for him to intervene.

  Shangguan Yu's daughter, also known as Cang Ye's cousin Xu MoMo, had received a life-destined spiritual energy from Shangguan Jinghong, Cang Ye's grandfather, at birth. Originally intended to ensure the healthy growth of his daughter's child, but who knew that as Xu MoMo grew up, the spiritual energy that was supposed to constantly adjust her body underwent a strange transformation.

  Before Xu Mo learned martial arts, this spiritual energy had always existed in her body. Not only did it not help her purify her body, but it also absorbed a lot of life energy, which led to Xu Mo's body being as weak as Cang Ye's back then. Later, in order to ensure that his daughter could survive, Xu Han used the family's status and spared no expense in inviting a powerful master from the imperial family who had a good relationship with the Xu family to treat Xu Mo.

  However, the problem lies in this treatment. After a diagnosis, the master discovered that the spiritual energy inside Xu Momo was growing along with her growth! When she becomes an adult, if she absorbs this spiritual energy, she can completely upgrade one rank below the main rank!

  What a rank! Not everyone is like Cang Ye, breaking through as easily as drinking water. Often, a small rank, for those warriors who are not particularly gifted, may need years or even decades of time! And now, relying solely on absorbing a ball of spiritual energy, one can advance in rank with ease, what a great temptation this is.

  Of course, that Venerable One doesn't need this Spiritual Energy. He doesn't need it, but that doesn't mean others don't need it. At the very least, his great-grandson, the Eighth Imperial Prince of the Empire, needs it!

  The struggle for the throne has always been cruel, in this world where martial arts reign supreme, without a good cultivation foundation, there is no chance at all. And those princes who want to contend for the throne have to spend their energy gathering talents and calculating each other, so they don't have much time to cultivate. Therefore, various shortcuts become their first choice to enhance their strength. However, the cost of forcibly taking those spiritual medicines is that future breakthroughs will be even more difficult.

  But now, there is actually a living elixir like Xu Momo, who can let go of whom?

  That year, a strong master of the sect had proposed to take Xu Mo as a concubine for the Eighth Prince, but Xu Han and his wife refused.

  Others may not know, but Xu Han and Shangguan Yu do. Years ago, when Shangguan Xinghong left the Yan Tian Empire, he had already broken through to become a powerful master of his generation, so they have every reason to refuse.

  But as time passed, Shangguan Xinghong never appeared again. Not until ten years later, when the Palace Master had broken through to become a mid-tier Spirit Venerable and confirmed that Shangguan Yu's father was still nowhere to be found, did he begin to constantly pressure him.

  For this, even the entire Xu family was oppressed by the forces of the Eighth Prince. Years later, today, in a family that was originally united, there were also voices wanting to force the couple to hand over Xu Mo. However, for these years, Xu Han's position in the Xu family has been extremely high, and it didn't take much effort to suppress this voice.

  But as the blow deepened, this voice within the family became stronger and stronger, and now it was almost unbearable. Xu Han was also anxious at this time. If the eighth prince was a good prince and could be a good husband, then so be it.

  However, the eighth prince married Xu Momo just for that ball of spiritual energy. Therefore, following his daughter will absolutely not have a good outcome. For this reason, the couple would rather die than marry their daughter to the eighth prince.

  If he were just the Eighth Prince, Xu Han was confident that relying on the entire Xu family's status would prevent the other party from acting rashly. Forcing him would definitely lead to dissatisfaction among all families within the Dreamfall Empire. For a prince who had sworn to ascend to the throne, this situation was absolutely undesirable.

  Unfortunately, Xu's family enemy is not just this one!

  The 17th prince's faction has never gotten along with the Xu family. If they join forces with the 8th prince now, the entire Xu family will be in danger!

  After listening to Shangguan Yu's detailed account of all the events, Cang Ye also understood. Actually, this matter was indeed a big trouble for others.

  It involves not only the struggle between the royal family and the world, but also the contention for the future emperor. Moreover, due to a super strong man, the whole thing is confusing and difficult to distinguish.

  But for Cang Ye, these were no big deal.

  Just a mere Eighth Prince, he didn't even take him seriously. After what happened in the Qingxia Garden, it's likely that the Seventeenth Prince's line won't come to bother the Xu family again. The most difficult one is still that powerful Sect Master.

  If it were an ordinary low-level cultivator, he wouldn't mind that much. But a mid-level Spirit Cultivator is different! The further one goes in martial arts training, the greater the gap between each level becomes!

  Although he was a loose cultivator's sect master, the middle-grade Spirit Sect still had to surpass the initial sect masters of the five major sects. At that time, he used one against three, opposing three super strong demon sects, and it wasn't until after using the wheel of reincarnation's blessing that he barely managed to achieve a double defeat.

  However, if you were to face a mid-tier master alone, the difficulty would be no less than facing those three.

  Fortunately, he is alone. After ten cycles of reincarnation, he should be able to win in one battle.

  Thinking of this, Cang Ye felt a surge of urgent battle intent rising up within him once again.

  "If you really don't give up, then take this chance to break through to the peak!"

  A faint cold smile hung at the corner of his mouth, muttering a few words. Looking at the two relatives with eyes full of expectation. In an instant, it turned into a warm and inviting smile.

  "Auntie, uncle. This isn't a big deal, tomorrow I'll go to the academy and take a look at my younger cousin, and I'll resolve this matter while I'm at it."

  Upon hearing Cang Ye's affirmative response, the two of them were overjoyed once again. The title of a Venerable Master was truly too terrifying.

  Under the gaze of two dear ones, Cang Ye left the hall.
