Chad was not particularly interested in antiques and calligraphy. Since childhood, he had accompanied his father to various elite families and understood that these items were primarily used as gifts.Without that attribute, antiques and calligraphy had little economic value, serving mainly for research purposes. The Long family's treasure appraisal event was more like a high-end market.Participants wandered in groups, admiring the antiques and calligraphy while engaging in conversations. They could move to the banquet area for further discussion if they hit it off.That day, the entire Long family was present, offering their younger generation an opportunity to build their networks."Why are you still interested in this? You should be thinking about when to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!" Youlee tugged on Chad's arm, trailing behind him."Why the Civil Affairs Bureau?""To get married, of course.""I'm not going.""What do you mean, Chad?" Youlee released his arm, h

Chad's father was the eldest of the ten brothers, with Samuel as the second and Esther's husband as the third. They were all Mystic practitioners, ranked according to their years as Mystics. Chad's father, born into a Mystic family, had the longest tenure, hence his position as the eldest.After his initial outburst, Samuel tried to comfort Chad. "Chad, listen to me. It's just a divorce. There are plenty of women out there. You can marry someone else."Chad pushed his uncle's hand, replying coldly, "Are you trying to arrange my life again? Who do you want me to marry this time? Youlee, Nancy, Fifi, or..." Chad was at a loss for words, recalling a name that left him speechless.Finally, Chad stood up straight, facing Samuel, and declared loudly, "I will never marry again in this lifetime!"His voice was loud enough for the onlookers to hear. Among them was Youlee, whose expression darkened upon hearing his words. Chad was not someone who would submit easily; such scheming against hi

The only place with light was Chad's Hall of Herbs. As Chad walked onto Temple Road, the car following him continued to tail him. Without turning around, Chad headed toward the Hall of Herbs.When Chad reached the entrance, the car stopped in front of the Hall of Herbs. Samuel stepped out alone, and the driver drove off once he was out.Chad looked at him. "Why are you here?"With a somber expression, Samuel followed Chad into the Hall of Herbs. Seeing Chad with a guest, Willow wanted to make tea, but Chad waved her away.Samuel sat down and immediately noticed the Yggdrasil seed by the rock garden in the backyard. "I came to tell you something. Your third uncle has also fallen in battle."Chad's body stiffened as he remembered Esther, his aunt, mentioning that his third uncle had gone to find Chad's parents after arriving in Bloomington.It seemed that his third uncle had gone to the place beyond the sky. Given the recent upheavals there, his uncle's death was not surprising.C

An assassin's unique attack methods made it easy for Willow to cross boundaries and launch an ambush. Having successfully struck once, Willow did not linger, quickly carrying Chad away.However...Temple Road suddenly lit up with numerous intricate patterns, activating its formation."Trying to escape? Not so easy!" Samuel formed a hand seal and pointed at Chad and Willow, immobilizing them. Glowing silver lines crawled up Willow's body from the ground."Jasmine, catch him!" Willow, determined, covered herself in golden light and mustered all her strength to throw Chad into the Hall of Herbs. Jasmine barely managed to catch Chad, and they both fell to the ground."Hide! Don't worry about me!" Chad immediately instructed Jasmine to hide upon seeing her.However, Jasmine took out a small jade bottle and fed Chad a rebirth elixir. That was the elixir Chad had given her during their mission in Haron City to kill Marshawn, which she had not used.Swish!At the same time, Willow swun

Samue laughed and said, "I'm telling the truth!""You're asking for death!"Chad flew into a rage and swung his palm toward Samuel!Bang!Samuel tried to muster his inner energy to resist but could not feel any.Shocked, he noticed that the wound inflicted by Willow's sneak attack had turned black.Willow's knife was poisoned with the Inkwell Clan's secret venom, which specifically targeted the cultivation of those with Mystic abilities.Thus, Samuel could only watch helplessly as Chad's palm, filled with immense power, struck his chest.The massive force shredded all his clothes.Severely injured, Samuel knelt on the ground, barely lifting his head to look at Chad with a playful smile on his face."So this is the power of the Mountain Fists! Turns out it grows stronger with each battle!"Chad, via his Clairvoyant Eye, saw the golden glow on Samuel's body fade away and finally relaxed.However, as Chad relaxed, his skin began to crack, and his veins swelled with excess bloo
