Yunze City.
Having broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, both Jiang Dad and his wife stood at the entrance of their community, a bit embarrassed by the gifts sent from various families in the area.
Although the gifts were not expensive, they demonstrated sincere intentions.
This made both of them sowhat embarrassed.
Normally, the birth of a Fourth Layer Heaven expert in an ordinary family would warrant a grand celebration inviting the surrounding neighbors.
But it was not enough to cause the clans of the entire Yunze City to co to congratulate.
The intention to forge connections was indeed obvious.
But such is the world of cultivation.
As long as you have strength and background, you live with significance!
"Thank you, thank you, it has been a bother, our humble ho might have shortcomings, for which I am very sorry."
"Please take care, and co visit us again when you have ti."
Jiang’s parents were busy attending to guests, making tea, and chatting, before they saw off another group of visitors.
On a usual day, their Jiang Family would hardly see these city clans.
Outside, the community neighbors were craning their necks looking towards Jiang’s place, eagerly wanting to get acquainted with these clans.
However, the Jiang Family, though busy, only let Chen Ke’s parents co over to help entertain the guests.
The community neighbors who couldn’t take advantage of this opportunity were quite envious.
When Chen Ke’s parents ca out, the community neighbors imdiately pulled Chen Ke’s mother aside, asking,
"Weren’t those two supposed to be jobless? How co all the city clans, including the leading Liu Family, are coming over to give gifts?"
"Yeah, wasn’t Bai Suo supposed to take revenge on Jiang Ruolin? What happened?"
Chen Ke’s mother couldn’t help but roll her eyes at these people, "Don’t you know Ruolin’s partner seems related to the Gu Family who is descended from a Taoist Ancestor? Gu Family has now replaced the Murong Family as the global city managent leader. Today Lord Gu personally ca to construct a Teleportation Array, supposedly for Ruolin’s partner’s face, and even gave Ruolin’s parents a Nascent Soul Pill each. Today’s event is because they both broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, so those big families sent gifts as congratulations."
Soone exclaid, "Jiang’s couple broke through to the Nascent Soul? When did that happen? Wasn’t Liu i just in the early stages of Core Formation? I rember Jiang Linfeng was in the middle stage of Core Formation."
Chen’s mother scoffed lightly, "You guys are really out of the loop. They reached the late stage of Core Formation a while ago, seemingly helped by Ruolin’s partner. Now they are equivalent to a community district mayor."
The community neighbors exchanged looks, their expressions turned sour.
On the other side, Bai Suo was scolded severely by his father upon returning.
He was directly taken to the Star System Family headquarters.
There, the current Bai Family Patriarch at the peak of the Fifth Layer Heaven, and the high echelons decided to put him on trial.
"With so many won around, why must you fixate on Jiang Ruolin? Since she has rejected you, it ans she has a better option. Do you think our fifth-tier cultivation family is the strongest in this world?"
Bai Suo, pale-faced, knelt before the Patriarch, head bowed, daring not to speak.
He had never expected Jiang Ruolin to have such good fortune to find a high-level cultivator as a partner.
The Bai Family Patriarch sat there with a stern face, silent.
Just then, the butler led several people in.
The Bai Family Patriarch quickly stood up and greeted with a fist salute, "Brother Shangguan."
He intended to exchange pleasantries, but the representative from Shangguan waved his hand, "Young Brother Bai, let’s skip the formalities. This ti, on behalf of the Shangguan Clan, I am here to cancel the betrothal between Bai Suo and our clan’s second daughter from the third house. As for the reason, I think you know why. It involves the Gu Family, we are truly powerless and do not dare to take the risk, so I am truly sorry."
"We won’t sit for long. This is so compensation for calling off the engagent."
After speaking, the people from the Shangguan Clan quickly left with a salute, fearing staying longer might attract those with other intentions to drag them into trouble.
Once they had left, the Bai Family Patriarch could no longer restrain himself, smashing the teacup to pieces.
"Do you realize you’ve ruined our entire family’s fortune!" The Bai Family Patriarch, unable to contain his fury, slapped Bai Suo across the face, shouting, "Don’t you understand what the marriage alliance with Shangguan was for? Now because of you, the alliance is gone, and our family has lost the chance to rely on Shangguan Family to go on missions."
"Disappear! The further you go, the better, don’t let see you, you completely useless loser!"

anwhile, Jiang Ruolin and Gu Feng were shopping in the supermarket, purchasing so household items, most of which were n’s products.
Her parents had already called from her hotown.
They had relayed what had happened at ho.
This greatly surprised Jiang Ruolin.
She rembered Gu Feng ntioning his relatives were from the Gu Family descended from a Taoist Ancestor, but she hadn’t taken it seriously, even thought it was a joke.
After all, although the Gu Family’s status in the entire Cultivation World wasn’t anything special, they were still a level 10 Cultivation Family with a profound historical background overseas.
Thus, who would associate a random person with such a legendary family?
But it turned out to be true!
This put even more pressure on Jiang Ruolin.
She sneakily glanced at Gu Feng, who was helping to push the shopping cart, and said, "So you really are a descendant of a Taoist Ancestor?"
"Then you chose a woman like ; do your family mbers say nothing?"
Gu Feng shook his head, "Who would say anything?"
Jiang Ruolin, "Your elders?"
Gu Feng, "My elders are no longer here."
"No wonder," Jiang Ruolin realized, mistakenly thinking Gu Feng was from a collateral line and not from Gu Weimin’s branch, "If your elders were still here, they definitely wouldn’t allow you to casually marry a woman like ."
Saying this, Jiang Ruolin, feeling the support Gu Feng had provided for her and her family lately, mustered the courage to say, "Actually, I know your intention in marrying is to make your Furnace Tripod, to help you break through after making powerful by sacrificing ."
Gu Feng wanted to object, but Jiang Ruolin hurriedly said, "You don’t have to try so hard to cover it up, I’ve thought it through, this is indeed a fair trade, as long as you make powerful, I am willing."
"The Secret Technique you gave is for sacrifice, right?" Jiang Ruolin opened her heart, "I’ve decided to study it, but you have to promise , when I’ve achieved my goals, I will willingly sacrifice myself without you forcing ."
Saying this, she smiled and voluntarily looped her arm through Gu Feng’s, "Let’s go, since we’ve made things clear, from now on, I will accept all your kindness without any burden."
Gu Feng pondered for a mont, feeling like explaining himself was pointless.
He simply said, "Alright, then whatever you need to do next, just tell , I’ll help you beco powerful."
Jiang Ruolin, "My first priority is to prepare for the National War, then to break through to the Nascent Soul and go to the Original World for missions to beco stronger."
Gu Feng, "Okay."
