Su Yuanyuan lowered her head, quickly reading the thoughts of this Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

There wasn’t much she knew, primarily because once one’s cultivation reached this point, one’s mindset could be controlled unless one got agitated.

Bai Fengjiao sat above, "Everyone, please be seated."

"Thank you, Matriarch."

Everyone sat down with a bit of restraint.

"Welcome everyone to our Independent Practitioner Alliance. Please make yourselves comfortable."

Bai Fengjiao had already noticed Su Yuanyuan; she was indeed extraordinary. Undoubtedly, she incited envy.

"And who are these two young ones?"

Tan Shaoting stood up, his head bowed slightly, "Matriarch, this is my son. We brought him along to broaden his horizons with this opportunity."

"A very beautiful child, you and your wife are indeed quite outstanding."

"Thank you for the praise, Matriarch."

"To have children so young and reach Mid-stage Foundation Establishment already."

Bai Fengjiao was also envious of Su Yuanyuan; she kept an eye on her using her Divine Sense, without finding anything amiss.

Su Yuanyuan endured it, feeling it was humiliating. This person was too impolite.

"I’m a bit jealous of this young friend."

Su Yuanyuan stood up, her head also slightly bowed, "Matriarch overpraises me."

"Hehe, you indeed are the leaders of the new generation."

Such actions would deny them peace, as many were envious of them. It’s never easy being in the spotlight.

At this moment, the Third Elder chuckled, signaling the start of the banquet, yet the couple remained unchanged.

Although they hadn’t experienced anything too grand in the Cultivation World, in her past life, Su Yuanyuan stood at the pinnacle. Such matters truly did not concern her.

Bai Fengjiao scanned everyone here, seeing that they were new arrivals and had nothing to do with Bai Yiran. Thus, someone they had wronged previously survived, seeking revenge this time.

The banquet was so oppressive that even the most indifferent felt on edge.

Upon seeing the Third Elder pause, everyone else stopped as well.

Bai Fengjiao let out a haughty hum and left.

After she left, the banquet hall noticeably relaxed.

The family returned to their residence, settling in the two children, and the couple sat closely together, with Su Yuanyuan writing on Tan Shaoting’s palm.

Tan Shaoting shook his head, disagreeing, feeling it was too risky.

Su Yuanyuan merely nodded. Tan Shaoting, seeing her squinting expression, knew she wasn’t listening to him at all. She had already made up her mind.

Both of them felt they were being monitored. However, this was to their advantage. Once the Dual Cultivation Ceremony ended and they separated from the sect, they would send a message to that despicable old witch.

Even the Divinity Transformation Stage Demon Cultivator had been dealt with, and knowing what this woman cared about, Su Yuanyuan was confident she could capture her instantly.

As long as she entered her own space, everything would be in her control.

The family of four did not leave the headquarters of the Independent Practitioner Alliance.

Tan Shaoting received a Sound Transmission Talisman from Liu Xiaozhu, inviting the family over to his place.

"After the Dual Cultivation Ceremony, there’s going to be an auction."

Everyone nodded, "Uncle, are there any good items? Is the Duobao Pavilion hosting this time? Are they not hiding anymore?"

Recalling the incident at the last Duobao Pavilion auction, one would think they wouldn’t dare come to the headquarters of the Independent Practitioner Alliance.

"No, it’s organized by the Independent Practitioner Alliance. Here are some of the items up for auction this time, and more is said to be added. Have a look if you need anything."

Their master knew this would happen, so he instructed that the sect didn’t need anything, only to return safely.

Tan Shaoting flipped through the catalog; truthfully, as a Sword Cultivator, he didn’t have much need for those Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Su Yuanyuan also didn’t need anything particular, although everything was quite good. However, she didn’t have anything she particularly desired.

Yet, others seemed quite passionate about these things. Being late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, they all sought to progress further, with these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures being quite beneficial and effective.

"Uncle, isn’t there anything here that attracts you?" Pan Xiu Chen asked with a smile.

"I don’t need anything. If you want something, go for it."

"Uncle, as a Sword Cultivator, I don’t really need anything from this."

"Brother Pan, we can’t do it. I just want the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grass and the Golden Core Pill."

Several others nodded, and Liu Xiaozhu naturally had no objections. Since they were out here, letting them broaden their horizons was a good idea.

Xu Ying asked Su Yuanyuan, who was beside her, "Junior Sister Su, do you have any thoughts?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, "I don’t need anything in particular. Although Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are good, our strength doesn’t allow it."

"No worries, uncle has Spirit Stones," Xu Ying said with a laugh.

Liu Xiaozhu nodded, "I have some Spirit Stones in hand; if you need anything, just tell me."

With a smile, Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Both of us are Sword Cultivators, so we don’t need much."

"Sword Cultivation is great; it saves Spirit Stones," Xu Ying said with a laugh.

"And it’s poor," Pan Xiu Chen laughed loudly afterward.

The day after tomorrow is the Dual Cultivation Ceremony, and the auction is in the evening, celebrating the Young Alliance Leader.

The Bai Family is still investigating Bai Yiran’s incident, without any leads. Her death is kept secret, as it is a joyous occasion.

Bai Fengjiao also hadn’t gone into seclusion, unable to settle without avenging Bai Yiran.

"Matriarch, there is news. That day, the two from the Xuantian Sect left for some time."

"So it was them; I’ll find out through Soul Search."

"Matriarch, please calm your anger. I already asked the maid attending to them, and the couple won’t leave with the Xuantian Sect. That’s an opportunity."

"Hmph, do you think I’d fear the Xuantian Sect? Fine, I won’t trouble you. I’ll make my move once the Xuantian Sect leaves."

On the day of the Dual Cultivation Ceremony, everyone wore the disciple robes of the Xuantian Sect.

The couple appeared, hand in hand with their two children, indeed astounding outsiders. Though the Cultivation World is filled with handsome men and beautiful women, this couple was exceptionally outstanding.

They entered following Liu Xiaozhu.

This time, Su Yuanyuan saw the Young Alliance Leader of the Independent Practitioner Alliance and was immediately disgusted.

His dual cultivation partner was actually his mother’s half-sister, a single Water Spirit Root Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator.

This news was quite sensational, wasn’t it? Outsiders were unaware because, after measuring her Water Spirit Root, it was said she died.

The current Alliance Leader’s Wife had lost to her half-sister. Originally, she was meant to be a furnace for her son, but unexpectedly, this one was so capable as to hold a Dual Cultivation Ceremony with the Young Alliance Leader.

This was an announcement to the world: they were husband and wife.

The Alliance Leader of the Independent Practitioner Alliance seemed like a middle-aged scholar. His wife was a great beauty, but with an intimidating gaze that made her seem difficult to interact with.

Su Yuanyuan was truly surprised; she hadn’t expected such a thing was possible. Truly, the world is vast with wonders aplenty; she was learning much.
