Cang Ru continued her verbal barrage. Even though she saw Xu Yi boiling with rage and seemingly about to strike with Zhao Hanfeng's Profound Heaven Emperor Realm cultivation, she did not stop.

After all, Xu Yi was merely present as a consciousness. No matter how he utilized Zhao Hanfeng's body, he could not exert much power, and she could immobilize Zhao Hanfeng's body with just a single thought.

Knowing that his consciousness could not remain here for much longer, Xu Yi had no choice but to swallow this suffocating grievance. He quickly turned to Xu Qingying and said via Sound Transmission, "Cousin, my consciousness doesn't have much time left, so I must depart first. I will definitely come to this continent to find you later. Do not leave this continent lightly during this time!"

He was worried that Xu Qingying and the others would leave in the meantime.

Xu Qingying quickly replied via Sound Transmission, "Alright!"

Afterward, Xu Yi looked coldly at Lu Qing'an and Cang Ru, barking sternly, "Before long, I shall come in person! I hope you can still put on such a show then!"

"What, you can't out-curse your mother, so you're running away? Don't leave! Whoever leaves is my son!!" Cang Ru sneered.

"You motherf—!" Xu Yi wanted to curse back before leaving, but in the next instant, a wave of weakness washed over him.

Damn it!!!

The final curse he wanted to spit out was cut short!!

Zhao Hanfeng's eyes closed weakly. Just a moment later, as if fainting, his body fell backward.

At this moment, Li Yunshuang broke free from that layer of restraint as well. With a flicker of movement, she arrived beside Zhao Hanfeng and caught him.

Her expression was filled with worry, and her eyes were even somewhat red.

That fellow possessed her husband's body—could it have caused any harm to him?!

"Huh? Wife, why am I here? And why is everyone staring at me?" Zhao Hanfeng soon woke up, looking around dazedly and scratching his head in confusion.

He had no idea what was going on, but he could actually feel malice in the gazes of many people!

Yes, utter malice!

"Husband, you're back?!" Li Yunshuang asked hastily.

Li Feiyu also approached by this time and said, "Brother-in-law, your body was possessed by a scoundrel just now!"

After learning what had just transpired, Zhao Hanfeng felt terrible all over and quickly looked toward Lu Qing'an and the others.

Good grief, would this sour Lu Qing'an's attitude toward him again?!

That damned bastard! To actually possess his body! Wait! Could this kind of thing happen again in the future?!

Especially when he and his wife were doing certain things?!

No!!! Absolutely not!!!!

Seeing Zhao Hanfeng's reaction, Lu Qing'an spoke up, "The matter had nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself too much. Alright, everyone, just treat what happened earlier as a performance. Let the wedding continue!"

Cang Ru instantly reverted to her reserved little girl persona, smiling as she looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, haha, let's put what happened just now behind us. Continue eating, drinking, and merrymaking late into the night!!"

The crowd nodded repeatedly, returning to their respective seats to drink and chat.

However, what had just occurred still weighed heavily on many people's minds.

Especially Xu Yunyi and Xu Xuanyu.

They both felt there was something wrong with Xu Yi. Perhaps he truly was their cousin, but even if he was, that didn't mean he was a good person!

The impression Xu Yi gave them was like a cousin who harbored malicious intentions toward them!

Xu Yunyi looked at Lu Qing'an and said, "Brother-in-law, I keep feeling something is off with this Xu Yi. Little Brother and I don't want to pay him any mind, and we don't care at all about returning to some Xu Family."

They didn't even care who their parents were. If their parents returned, they might go see them, as they were the ones who gave birth to them after all. But if they were expected to exhaust everything to search for them, they would never do so.

Lu Qing'an said, "He indeed doesn't seem like a good person. My advice to you is also to ignore him, and certainly don't follow him to any Xu Family. As long as you are unwilling, with me around, no one can force you."

Saying this, Lu Qing'an looked at the three children with a smile.

Lu Zixuan and the other two looked at their father with utter adoration; they would never leave him!

Xu Xuanyu and Xu Yunyi both smiled and nodded.

With these words from their brother-in-law, they had nothing to fear!

"By the way, Brother-in-law, that Xu Yi said his own cultivation is at the Peak Creation Realm, half-step Imperishable Realm. Wouldn't that mean his elders, like his father, are Imperishable Realm Experts? And even higher elders might truly be in the Sovereign Realm. Against such a Realm, can you really face them alone? Earlier, you even said you could only exchange a single move with someone in the Imperishable Realm," Xu Yunyi pursed her lips.

Xu Xuanyu chuckled, "Yeah, Brother-in-law, since you dare say such things, the implication is already crystal clear: you aren't even afraid of the Sovereign Realm! So you were tricking me last time, weren't you? If you can say such things now, what does the Imperishable Realm even count for to you?"

It had caused him to cultivate desperately with all his might during this time.

Lu Qing'an pondered for a moment, then smiled, "A person must always make progress. I've made some progress during this time too, and now I can exchange a move with the Sovereign Realm. So there wasn't really anything wrong with what I said before, was there?"

Xu Xuanyu and Xu Yunyi blinked in unison.

Snow Heavenly Consort and the others were also left at a loss for words by Lu Qing'an's shifting claim.

Why did it feel like next time a Sovereign Realm showed up and threatened him, he still wouldn't be afraid, and in the end, he'd say he could exchange a move with an Eternal Realm Expert...

When Cang Ru and Zheng Miaoyin heard Lu Qing'an's words, they were both utterly convinced of one thing.

Namely, could that'single move' mean blasting the opponent into smithereens with a single move?!

The Black Dragon had watched the entire scene in silence, and hearing this now, he was filled with boundless emotion.

After meeting Zhu Qingtian, he had harbored a dream of the Six Heavens Continent in his heart, thinking that once he reached the Divine Continent of the Six Heavens Continent, he could soar straight up by relying on his special Talent.

Back then, the Six Heavens Continent was his Spirit home.

Now, looking back on the past, he finally realized how absurdly mistaken he had been.

A Expert from the Seven Heavens Continent had arrived, yet his master Lu Qing'an still dealt with him like a fool!

The other party had already declared his name and strength, and an Imperishable Realm Expert was a top-tier existence even on the Divine Continent, yet now, his master treated even a Expert from the Seven Heavens Continent like a dog!

It turned out that the best Spirit home had been by his side all along...

"Fortunately, fortunately!!! Though I was confused for a while in between, I ended up returning to the right path in the end..." he thought with lingering fear.

However, there was still one question he couldn't figure out.

They had clearly only been separated for a thousand years, so how had Lu Qing'an become like this after just a thousand years?!

Just what had happened during these thousand years?!

Why did it feel like a hundred billion years had passed???

Lu Qing'an paid no more mind to Xu Yi's matter. He only needed to wait quietly for that fellow to arrive, and then decide how to deal with him depending on the situation. At this moment, he looked at Cang Ru, who was still standing nearby, and said, "Sit down, let's talk about something."

He wanted to talk to Cang Ru about speeding up the rate at which one refined Divine Crystals.

Could it be done for everyone including Snow Heavenly Consort to increase their Divine Crystal refining speed?

"Alright, Master!" Cang Ru grinned.

"Big Sister, sit here with me!" Lu Miaomiao's large eyes were filled with intense curiosity as she stared at Cang Ru, vacating her seat and speaking with a smile.

Cang Ru glanced at Lu Miaomiao, who was roughly the same size as her but vastly younger, her expression turning peculiar.

Could this child actually think she was a peer?

"Sit down," Lu Qing'an said.

"Okay!" Cang Ru hurriedly sat down beside Lu Qing'an.
