In Lin Lang’s eyes, the Second Elder was like a jester, for no one here had any intention of paying him any heed, and the Second Elder, feeling disgraced, withdrew in displeasure.
After Huangpu Xian’er bid farewell to her family, the group finally departed from the Huangpu Clan. At this time, the Heaven Alliance members were already waiting outside the hidden boundaries of the Huangpu Clan…
Seeing the Heaven Alliance’s formidable lineup, Xiao Yufan’s eyelid twitched violently. He had never expected that behind his grandfather there was such a powerful force. No wonder even the hidden Huangpu Clan held it in great fear.
“Haha, Yufan, let me introduce—these are many of the Heaven Alliance’s powerful experts. Due to Grandfather’s restraint over the past decade, they had been scattered across various regions. Now, we have reunited once again. It’s time for me, Silver Fox, to accomplish something significant!”
Seeing the confusion in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Situ Lingyu laughed heartily and explained.
“Yufan pays respects to all seniors!”
Although Xiao Yufan was greatly shocked, he still maintained basic etiquette. Although the Heaven Alliance was his grandfather’s force, nearly everyone here was his senior and possessed formidable strength.
“Master Yufan jokes with us. How dare we be called seniors…”
The three figures standing at the forefront smiled slightly. Xiao Yufan did not carry the arrogance typical of young nobles; instead, he was very approachable, which naturally made them take a liking to him. Moreover, he was Situ Lingyu’s grandson, so they couldn’t afford to act condescendingly.
“Technically speaking, all of you are indeed seniors to Yufan, so there’s no need to be modest.”
Situ Lingyu was very satisfied with Xiao Yufan’s behavior. These people were all veteran members of the Heaven Alliance who had made great contributions over the years. Calling them seniors was entirely appropriate.
“If the Alliance Leader says so, then we’d be unreasonable to keep refusing!”
Wu Feng, the Heavy Sword Master, laughed. Although the massive sword on his back made him appear quite unusual, everyone in the Heaven Alliance knew that aside from the transcendent Silver Fox Lingyu, he was considered the most amiable among the three Supreme Elders.
“Wu Senior has been of the same generation as my father. Even I must respectfully address him as ‘Senior,’ so naturally this young man must show proper respect!”
Situ Yonghui, never one to miss a chance to speak up, said without hesitation. He had a great relationship with the Heaven Alliance’s experts and thus spoke freely. Moreover, with his strength, he indeed had the capital to sit side by side with the Heaven Alliance’s Supreme Elders.
“Your strength might even surpass ours three old men. So calling us seniors is actually a gain for us. After all, we’ve watched you grow up from a bare-bottomed child!”
Looking at Situ Yonghui with an amused expression, Holy Hand Yi Chen spoke, instantly causing Situ Yonghui to look awkward.
Xiao Yufan tried hard to suppress a smile. These three Heaven Alliance seniors were indeed formidable. They didn’t even spare his father’s dignity, speaking so openly in front of him—it was clearly making his father uncomfortable. Indeed, masters could be as capricious as they pleased!
“If you want to laugh, just laugh! Why hold it in?”
Situ Yonghui was quite annoyed, but how could he possibly get angry at Holy Hand Yi Chen? Naturally, he redirected his ‘frustration’ toward Xiao Yufan. Poor Xiao Yufan had been caught in the crossfire yet again—these days, when luck runs out, even cold water can get stuck in your teeth.
“Alright, alright. Xian’er is still here. You two father and son should stop playing around…”
Seeing the two reconciling, Situ Lingyu’s smile grew warmer. He had been most afraid that Xiao Yufan might develop a heart demon, which could hinder his martial cultivation. But now, such worries seemed unnecessary.
“If Xian’er weren’t here, just see if I’d dare to beat you!”
Looking at Holy Hand Yi Chen, Situ Yonghui felt even more depressed. In terms of strength, he certainly wouldn’t be weaker than the three Supreme Elders, but with the generational hierarchy in place, he couldn’t show any disrespect. Under such circumstances, he could only take it out on Xiao Yufan.
Amidst laughter, the group grandly set off toward the capital. With so many experts appearing together, it would inevitably cause panic among some people. Therefore, everyone concealed their oppressive auras, appearing like ordinary individuals.
“Grandfather, may I ask you one question?”
Feeling the Heaven Alliance members’ pressure dissipate, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smirk slightly. Only now did he realize that his strength wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined. Compared to some of the Heaven Alliance’s experts, his power was still lacking.
“You’ve suddenly become so hesitant—this isn’t like you at all. Just ask whatever you want…”
Situ Lingyu was very pleased that Xiao Yufan was fine and had even brought back a woman from the hidden Huangpu Clan as his wife. The more grandsons and daughters-in-law he had, the faster the Situ family would grow. How could he not be excited?
In Lin Lang’s eyes, the Second Elder was like a clown, as no one here intended to pay him any further attention. The Second Elder, feeling disgruntled, eventually retreated.
After Huangpu Xian’er bid farewell to her family, the group finally left the Huangpu family. By then, the members of the Tian Alliance were already waiting outside the hidden Huangpu estate…
Seeing the formidable lineup of the Tian Alliance, Xiao Yufan’s eyelids twitched violently. He had never imagined that behind his grandfather, there was such a powerful force. No wonder even the hidden Huangpu family was quite wary of them.
“Haha, Yufan, let me introduce you. These are the many strong warriors of our Tian Alliance. Because your grandfather has been lying low for over a decade, they were scattered across various places. But now they have gathered once again, and I, Silver Fox, am ready to make some big moves!”
Seeing the confusion in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Situ Lingyu laughed heartily and explained…
“Yufan greets all the seniors!”
Although Xiao Yufan was extremely surprised, basic etiquette was still necessary. Although the Tian Alliance was his grandfather’s power, almost everyone here was his elder, and their strength was formidable.
“Young master, you jest. How could we dare to be called seniors…”
The three men at the front smiled faintly. Xiao Yufan didn’t have the arrogance typical of spoiled young masters; he appeared very amiable, which naturally made them feel favorable towards him. Moreover, the person before them was Situ Lingyu’s grandson, so they couldn’t act superior.
“All of you are considered Yufan’s seniors, so it’s only fitting, only fitting!”
Situ Lingyu was also very satisfied with Xiao Yufan’s performance. These people were all veterans of the Tian Alliance, having made significant contributions to the alliance. It was not at all excessive for Xiao Yufan to call them seniors.
“If the alliance leader says so, it would be inappropriate for us old folks to refuse!”
Heavy Sword Wu Feng said with a smile. Although the heavy sword on his back made him look quite peculiar, everyone in the Tian Alliance knew that, apart from the transcendent Silver Fox Lingyu, he was the most good-natured among the three supreme experts.
“Senior Wu is of the same generation as my father. Even I have to respectfully call him senior, so of course, this kid cannot be impolite!”
Situ Yonghui chimed in, unwilling to be left out. He had a close relationship with the strong warriors of the Tian Alliance, so he could joke around without any reservations. Moreover, with his strength, he indeed had the capital to stand on equal footing with the supreme experts of the Tian Alliance.
“Your strength might even surpass us three old fellows. This title of ‘senior’ is something we’ve earned, especially since we’ve watched you grow up from your diaper days!”
Sage Hand Yichen looked at Situ Yonghui with a playful expression, but his words instantly made Situ Yonghui’s face turn awkward…
Xiao Yufan also struggled to suppress his laughter. These three seniors of the Tian Alliance were truly formidable. They didn’t even spare his father’s dignity, openly saying such things in front of him. It was clear they were making his father uncomfortable. Experts, they were just that capricious!
“If you want to laugh, just laugh. Why hold it in?”
Situ Yonghui was quite displeased, but he couldn’t vent his anger on Sage Hand Yichen. Naturally, he directed his ‘frustration’ towards Xiao Yufan. Poor Xiao Yufan was caught in the crossfire. When you’re unlucky, even drinking cold water can choke you.
“Alright, alright, Xian’er is still here. You two, father and son, should stop fooling around…”
Seeing the father and son reconcile, Situ Lingyu’s smile grew even more content. He had been most worried that a mental block might form in Xiao Yufan’s heart, hindering his progress in strength. But now, it seemed that worry was unnecessary.
“If Xian’er weren’t here, I’d dare to hit you!”
Looking at Sage Hand Yichen’s expression, Situ Yonghui felt even more frustrated. In terms of strength, he was naturally not weaker than the three supreme experts, but the generational hierarchy was there. He couldn’t show any disrespect, and in such situations, he could only pick on Xiao Yufan.
Amidst the laughter, the group marched towards the capital. With so many strong warriors appearing simultaneously, it was bound to cause some panic among certain people. Thus, everyone restrained their imposing auras, appearing as ordinary people.
“Grandfather, can I ask you something?”
Feeling the pressure from the Tian Alliance members dissipate, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smirk. Only now did he realize that his strength wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined. At least compared to some of the Tian Alliance’s strong warriors, his strength still fell short.
“Why are you suddenly so hesitant? This isn’t like you. Just ask whatever you want to know…”
Xiao Yufan was fine, and he had even brought back a woman from the hidden Huangpu family as his wife. Situ Lingyu was overjoyed. The more grandchildren he had, the faster the Situ family would expand. How could he not be excited?
“I wanted to ask, what is your current strength? Ever since I was injured by that old scoundrel from the hidden Guo family, I’ve felt that the so-called internal energy isn’t as simple as it seems. I know there are even stronger warriors beyond the peak of Condensed Power!”
Having voiced his doubts, Xiao Yufan felt somewhat relieved. Whether it was from Elder Huangpu, his grandfather, or his master from the Cold Water Ravine, he had sensed an extremely powerful aura. Such strength likely far surpassed that of peak Condensed Power experts.
“It seems your comprehension is quite high. I thought it would take you a few more years to realize this. Indeed, my strength has long surpassed the peak of Condensed Power. Not just me, but your father and the three Tian Alliance experts have also crossed that threshold.”
Even though Xiao Yufan had prepared himself, he was still somewhat shocked. There were so many strong warriors around him. Such experts were rare even among the hidden families!
“After the peak of Condensed Power comes the realm of Postnatal Experts, followed by Innate Experts. Beyond that, there is an even higher realm, which I have yet to touch. My current strength should be considered at the peak of the Innate realm.”
As Xiao Yufan stood dumbfounded, Situ Lingyu slowly explained. He hadn’t told Xiao Yufan too much before because his strength hadn’t reached that level. But now, revealing this was meant to help Xiao Yufan grow faster.
As certain events came to light, Situ Lingyu increasingly felt that some things were too bizarre. He had more tasks to accomplish, and if Xiao Yufan’s strength could grow, he would undoubtedly be a significant asset…
In Lin Lang’s eyes, the Second Elder was nothing more than a clown, as no one here intended to pay him any further attention. The Second Elder, feeling disgruntled, eventually retreated.
After Huangpu Xian’er bid farewell to her family, the group finally left the Huangpu family. By then, the members of the Tian Alliance were already waiting outside the hidden Huangpu estate…

“Haha, Yufan, let me introduce you. These are the many strong individuals of our Tian Alliance. For over a decade, your grandfather has been lying low, which is why they were scattered across various places. But now, they have gathered once again, and it’s time for me, Silver Fox, to make some big moves!”
Seeing the confusion in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Situ Lingyu laughed heartily and explained…

Heavy Sword Wu Feng said with a smile. Although the massive sword on his back made him look quite peculiar, everyone in the Tian Alliance knew that, apart from the transcendent Silver Fox Lingyu, he was one of the three supreme experts with the best temper.
“Senior Wu is of the same generation as my father. Even I have to respectfully call him senior, so of course, this young man cannot be impolite!”
Situ Yonghui chimed in, unwilling to be left out. He had a close relationship with the strong members of the Tian Alliance, so he naturally had no reservations about joking around. Moreover, with his strength, he certainly had the capital to stand on equal footing with the supreme experts of the Tian Alliance.
“Your strength might even surpass us three old men. We’re the ones who benefit from being called seniors, since we’ve watched you grow up from a bare-bottomed kid!”
Holy Hand Yi Chen looked at Situ Yonghui with a playful expression, but his words instantly made Situ Yonghui’s face turn awkward…
Xiao Yufan also struggled to suppress his laughter. These three seniors of the Tian Alliance were indeed formidable. They didn’t even spare his father’s dignity, saying such things right in front of him. It was as if they were deliberately making his father uncomfortable. Experts, they were just that capricious!
“Go ahead and laugh, why are you holding it in?”
Situ Yonghui was clearly displeased, but he couldn’t possibly vent his frustration on Holy Hand Yi Chen. Naturally, he directed his ‘anger’ towards Xiao Yufan, who unfortunately became the scapegoat. In these times, when you’re unlucky, even drinking cold water can choke you.
“Alright, alright, Xian’er is still here. You two, father and son, should stop fooling around…”
Seeing the two of them reconcile, Situ Lingyu’s smile grew even more content. He had been most worried that a mental block would form in Xiao Yufan’s heart, hindering his progress in strength. But now, it seemed that such concerns were unnecessary.

In such a situation, he could only take it out on Xiao Yufan.
Amidst the laughter, the group set off towards the capital in a grand procession. With so many strong individuals appearing simultaneously, it was bound to cause some panic among certain people. Therefore, everyone restrained their imposing auras, appearing as ordinary as possible.
“Grandfather, can I ask you something?”
Feeling the pressure from the Tian Alliance members dissipate, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smirk. Only now did he realize that his strength wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined. At least compared to some of the strong members of the Tian Alliance, he still had a long way to go.

“I wanted to ask, what is your current strength? Ever since I was injured by that old scoundrel from the hidden Guo family, I’ve felt that so-called internal energy isn’t as simple as it seems. Moreover, I know that beyond the peak of Condensing Power, there are even stronger individuals!”
Having voiced his doubts, Xiao Yufan felt somewhat relieved. Whether it was from Huangpu’s grandfather, his own grandfather, or his master from the Cold Water Gorge, he had sensed an incredibly powerful aura. Such strength was likely far beyond that of a peak Condensing Power expert.
“It seems your comprehension is quite high. I thought it would take you a few more years to realize this. Indeed, my strength has long surpassed the peak of Condensing Power. Not just me, but your father and the three Tian Alliance experts have also transcended that level.”
Even though Xiao Yufan was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked. There were so many strong individuals around him. Such experts were rare even among the hidden families!

“Yufan greets all the seniors!”
Although Xiao Yufan was extremely surprised, he still maintained basic etiquette. Even though the Tian Alliance was his grandfather’s power, almost everyone here was his elder, and their strength was nothing to scoff at.
“Young Master, you jest. How could we dare to be called seniors…”
The three men at the front smiled faintly. Xiao Yufan didn’t carry the arrogance typical of spoiled young masters; instead, he appeared very amiable, which naturally made them feel favorable towards him. Moreover, the person before them was Situ Lingyu’s grandson, so they couldn’t act superior based on their age.
“Considering your seniority, it’s only fitting to call you seniors, absolutely fitting!”
Situ Lingyu was also very satisfied with Xiao Yufan’s demeanor. These people were all veterans of the Tian Alliance, having made significant contributions to the alliance. It was not at all excessive for Xiao Yufan to address them as seniors.
“If the Alliance Leader says so, it would be inappropriate for us old folks to decline any further!”
Wu Feng, the Heavy Sword, said with a smile. Although the massive sword on his back made him look rather peculiar, everyone in the Tian Alliance knew that, aside from the transcendent Silver Fox Lingyu, he was the most good-natured among the three supreme experts.

Situ Yonghui chimed in, unwilling to be left out. He had a close relationship with the strong members of the Tian Alliance and joked without any reservations. Given his strength, he certainly had the capital to stand on equal footing with the Tian Alliance’s supreme experts.
“Your strength might even surpass us three old men. We’re the ones gaining from being called ‘seniors,’ especially since we’ve watched you grow up from your diaper days!”
Shengshou Yichen looked at Situ Yonghui with a playful expression, but his words instantly made Situ Yonghui’s face turn awkward…
Xiao Yufan also struggled to suppress his laughter. These three seniors from the Tian Alliance were indeed formidable. They didn’t even spare his father’s dignity, openly making such remarks in front of him. It was clear they were deliberately making his father uncomfortable. Experts could be so capricious!
“Go ahead and laugh. Why are you holding it in?”
Situ Yonghui was clearly annoyed, but he couldn’t vent his frustration on Shengshou Yichen. Naturally, he directed his ‘anger’ towards Xiao Yufan, who ended up being the unfortunate scapegoat. As the saying goes, when you’re unlucky, even drinking cold water can choke you.
“Alright, alright, Xian’er is still here. You two, father and son, should stop fooling around…”
Seeing the father and son reconcile, Situ Lingyu’s smile grew even more content. He had been most worried that a psychological barrier might form in Xiao Yufan’s heart, hindering his progress. But now, it seemed that concern was unnecessary.
“If Xian’er weren’t here, I’d dare to hit you!”
Looking at Shengshou Yichen’s expression, Situ Yonghui felt even more frustrated. In terms of strength, he was certainly not inferior to the three supreme experts, but given the seniority, he couldn’t show any disrespect. In such a situation, he could only take it out on Xiao Yufan.
Amidst the laughter, the group set off towards the capital in a grand procession. With so many strong individuals appearing simultaneously, it was bound to cause panic among some. Therefore, everyone toned down their imposing auras, appearing as ordinary people.
“Grandfather, may I ask you something?”
Feeling the pressure from the Tian Alliance members dissipate, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smirk. Only now did he realize that his strength wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined. At least compared to some of the Tian Alliance’s experts, he still had a long way to go.

Having voiced his doubts, Xiao Yufan felt somewhat relieved. Whether it was from the Huangpu family patriarch, his grandfather, or his master from the Cold Water Gorge, he had sensed an extremely powerful aura. Such strength likely far surpassed that of a peak Condensing Power expert.
“It seems your insight is quite sharp. I thought it would take you a few more years to realize this. Indeed, my strength has long surpassed the peak of the Condensing Power stage. Not just me, but your father and the three Tian Alliance experts have also crossed that threshold.”
Even though Xiao Yufan had mentally prepared himself, he was still somewhat shocked. There were so many strong individuals around him. Such experts were rare even among the hidden families.
“Beyond the peak of Condensing Power lies the Postnatal Expert stage, followed by the Innate Expert stage, and then an even higher realm, which I have yet to touch. My current strength should be considered at the peak of the Innate Expert stage.”

As certain events came to light, Situ Lingyu increasingly felt that some things were too bizarre. He had more tasks to accomplish, and if Xiao Yufan’s strength could improve, he would undoubtedly become a significant asset…
Hiss…
Even though Xiao Yufan had mentally prepared himself, he still felt shocked. There were so many experts around him! Such power would be rare even among the hidden clans!
In Lin Lang’s eyes, the Second Elder was nothing more than a clown, as no one here intended to pay him any further attention. The Second Elder, disgruntled, eventually retreated.

“Haha, Yufan, let me introduce you. These are the many powerful members of our Tian Alliance. Due to my grandfather’s decade-long restraint, they have been scattered across various places. But now, they have gathered once again, and I, Silver Fox, am ready to make some big moves!”
Seeing the confusion in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Situ Lingyu laughed heartily and explained…
“Yufan greets all the seniors!”
Although Xiao Yufan was extremely surprised, basic etiquette was still necessary. Even though the Tian Alliance was his grandfather’s power, almost everyone here was his elder, and their strength was not to be underestimated.
“Young master, you jest. How could we dare to be called seniors…”
The three men at the forefront smiled faintly. Xiao Yufan did not carry the arrogance typical of spoiled young masters; he appeared very amiable, which naturally made it easy for them to develop a favorable impression. Moreover, the person before them was Situ Lingyu’s grandson, so they couldn’t act superior.
“All of you are indeed Yufan’s seniors, so it’s only fitting, only fitting!”
Situ Lingyu was also extremely satisfied with Xiao Yufan’s performance. These people were all veterans of the Tian Alliance, having made significant contributions to the alliance. It was not at all excessive for Xiao Yufan to address them as seniors.

“Your strength might even surpass us three old fellows. This title of senior is something we’ve earned, considering we’ve watched you grow up from diapers!”
Sage Hand Yichen looked at Situ Yonghui with a playful expression, but his words instantly made Situ Yonghui’s face turn awkward…
Xiao Yufan also struggled to suppress his laughter. These three seniors of the Tian Alliance were truly formidable, not even sparing his father’s dignity. They openly said such things in front of him, clearly making his father uncomfortable. Experts, they are just that capricious!
“If you want to laugh, just laugh. Why are you holding it in?”
Situ Yonghui was quite displeased, but he couldn’t vent his anger on Sage Hand Yichen. Naturally, he directed his ‘frustration’ towards Xiao Yufan, who ended up being the unfortunate victim. In these times, when one is unlucky, even drinking cold water can choke you.
“Alright, alright, Xian’er is still here. You two should stop bickering…”
Seeing the father and son reconcile, Situ Lingyu’s smile grew even more content. He had been most afraid that a demon would take root in Xiao Yufan’s heart, hindering his progress. But now, it seemed such worries were unnecessary.
“If Xian’er weren’t here, I’d dare to hit you!”
Looking at Sage Hand Yichen’s expression, Situ Yonghui felt even more frustrated.

In such situations, he could only take it out on Xiao Yufan.

“Grandfather, may I ask you something?”
Feeling the oppressive aura of the Tian Alliance members dissipate, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smirk. Only now did he realize that his strength wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined. At least compared to some of the Tian Alliance’s strong members, his strength still fell short.

As Xiao Yufan stared in astonishment, Situ Lingyu slowly explained. Previously, he hadn’t told Xiao Yufan much because his strength had not yet reached that level. Now, he revealed this hoping it would accelerate Xiao Yufan’s growth.
With certain matters coming to light, Situ Lingyu increasingly felt that some things were too strange and suspicious. He still had much to accomplish. If Xiao Yufan could grow stronger, it would certainly be a great help…
