As the group ate and talked cheerfully, the mood in the hall was a little strange. For it was heavy and depressing because of the resentful looks of the Ling older couple, but that did not last long.

"Reporting, the couple and the grandson of the Ling family have arrived, they are being brought into the hall." A guard appeared outside the hall and spoke.

"Alright, you can go"

"Yes"

The matriarch and her husband had strange faces, and they knew something unpleasant would happen. The two did not care about the mother, for she was a more pleasant person and had a good temperament, but the double father and son of the Ling family were known to be arrogant and unbridled, but they only behaved in the face of weaker groups than they, for if they found more influential groups, the two were polite.

The door to the hall was opened and three people showed up, one of them was young and appeared to be about 25-27 years old, the other a middle-aged man, the two were alike and emanated an arrogant and proud aura. The third person was a middle-aged woman, she was beautiful, but her face had a few traces of age.

They came in front of the table and greeted the group that was sitting and eating.

"Nice to see you again, big brother, sister-in-law." The middle-aged man clasped his hands and spoke in a respectful manner, he did not dare to be arrogant or impolite before the Xiao couple, even though they were linked by marriage, their status was totally different. The woman and the young man also greeted the Xiao clan couple.

"It is very good to see you again too" The matriarch waved her hand and three chairs were placed on the side of the Ling older couple.

The chairs were in the following order, the matriarch and her husband side by side, next to the matriarch was Xiao Hong, Xiao Xi and Fang Luoyang with their daughters, then was Song Hanying, and her daughter, Liu Yang, the maternal and paternal grandparents of Song Hanying and Xiao Xi, and later was the couple of the clan Song that was next to the couple of clan Xiao.

The three new chairs were placed between the Song clan couple and Xiao Xi's paternal grandparents, the emperor was next to the matriarch's brother-in-law, while his son was sitting next to Xiao Xi's grandparents.

This disrespectful attitude towards Ling Li left the elderly Ling clan couple disgruntled, even the son of Ling Li was angry with Liu Yang for the way he was treating Ling Li. But none of them could do anything about it, for Liu Yang's status and strength were too great for them.

For only the hundred bodyguards of Liu Yang were enough to destroy the main branch of the Ling clan, even though they have millions of years of stories, they did not have as many people at level 900 and rank 9 as Liu Yang at most they were only thirty or forty, that was a considerable amount for a great clan.

But in the case of Liu Yang, a hundred people at that level were just his bodyguards, what would be the total number of specialists if all of the Explorers' Factions left? They had no idea about it, many powerful clans and sects did not want to do anything about Liu Yang because of this fear.

And besides, Liu Yang was at level 900 and rank 9 and was also the son-in-law of the Xiao clan and the Song clan, these two statuses were like three plus weights. Who was stupid enough to try to do anything against Liu Yang? Only idiots would do this, or those who had confidence in doing so had that kind of thinking.

...

"Luoyang, congratulations on getting to level 500 and rank 5, I know I'm a bit late, but I still wanted to congratulate you for this achievement." The person who spoke was Ling Lie, he was the son of Ling Li. He had a youthful appearance of a 25-year-old, despite the appearance, he had been more than almost three hundred years. Ling Lie was a few tens of years older than Fang Luoyang.

"Young of the Ling family, please do not call me by my name, we are just known. You do not call me so intimately. "Fang Luoyang did not like the way Ling Lie called her, the two were only known and only met one time or another. The two were not familiar with each other to the point of calling their own names.

These words left Ling Lie with a dark and hateful face, he never imagined that Fang Luoyang would embarrass him in front of the five most influential people of the Nine Worlds.

Ling Lie began chasing Fang Luoyang after he met her when he visited the Xiao clan hundreds of years ago. Ling Lie's parents and paternal grandparents tried to tie them both up, but it was a pity that Fang Luoyang did not accept it, and the matriarch followed her desire and also made it difficult.

Although he had tried several times to catch the attention of Fang Luoyang, she had never been interested in him, Ling Lie never understood why he thought he was influential and powerful enough to be her match.

When he received the news that Fang Luoyang was engaged to someone from a mysterious background, he went into despair. For the woman he wanted was taken by another man, Ling Lie did not know the strength of this man, his background was extraordinary because they took five drops of juice as a wedding dowry, this proved his power.
