“Ahem- I’m not quite sure about that,” Murong Ba coughed lightly and whispered, “But I know that Steward Qin performed quite well in the Sect’s Grand Competition, and even the Lingxiao Sect Leader has personally praised him!”

The family heads’ gazes sharpened.

The Lingxiao Sect Leader was someone they could only look up to but never meet.

Would such a figure actually personally praise Qin Changqing?

However, they weren’t completely convinced.

After all, it’s only wise to take Murong Ba’s words with a grain of salt.

Just then, the butler at the entrance suddenly shouted with all his might—”The Mu Family is here to congratulate Steward Qin on his wedding!!

Instantly, the entire banquet hall fell silent.

The Mu Family, a Tier 7 family force in Yinxu Prefecture.

The Mu Family’s head, Mu Xiaoge, had a cultivation base of Half-step Golden Elixir, and his father was Mu Yuntao, the Outer Sect Elder of the Lingxiao Sect who was in charge of managing Yinxu Prefecture affairs! “The Mu Family is here to congratulate too!?”

Murong Ba was so excited that he nearly jumped up!

The surrounding family heads were also so astounded that their mouths held agape.

Although the Mu Family did not send someone to attend, they sent a congratulatory gift, which obviously indicated their intention to befriend Qin.

From the perspective of the Lingxiao Sect, it might seem reasonable for fellow disciples to take care of each other, but considering the regional situation and interests, fratricide among disciples wasn’t uncommon, and an elder had no reason to congratulate a steward.

For a moment, everyone had a myriad of thoughts swirling in their minds.

At this moment, the bridal sedan stopped outside the Qin Mansion.

The firecrackers’ noise attracted everyone’s attention, and with the welcoming, lifting the sedan, and the ritual exchange of cups...Qin Changqing had already grown accustomed to the secular wedding customs after going through them all.

“To think that even the Mu Family is here, that’s really unexpected.”

“These family heads must be having sleepless nights now.”

Qin Changqing saw everyone’s reactions clearly.

He was somewhat puzzled and amused.

Such entanglements among family forces were intricate and interconnected.

When the banquet ended and night fell over the Qin Mansion, Qin Changqing, slightly tipsy, headed for the bridal chamber.

Under the glow of the red lanterns, he reached the door and waved the maids away with a flick of his hand.

“Xue’er, your husband is here.”

This time, Liu Mengxian mainly wanted to venture out and search for opportunities for a breakthrough.

Right now, she was merely passing by Yinxu Prefecture and remembered the dual cultivation technique she had learned before.

Yes, she was indeed here to give wedding gifts.

However, it didn’t mean she approved of Qin Changqing’s cultivation method. “Hm?” Liu Mengxian raised an eyebrow, staring at Qin Changqing curiously,

“You... reached Tier 3 Foundation Establishment?”

“Yes.”

Qin Changqing nodded, not hiding anything.

Of course, he couldn’t hide it anyway.

“How did you do it?”

Liu Mengxian was very curious, extremely curious.

With Qin Changqing’s spiritual root, she thought it would be normal for him to advance one level every twenty years after establishing the foundation.

But how long had it been?

It had only been two years since the Sect’s Grand Competition ended, hadn’t it?

Qin Changqing said naturally, “Just by practicing and practicing, I managed to break through. I didn’t do anything special.”

Liu Mengxian furrowed her brows, “It’s that simple?”

“Yes, what else do you think, Sect Leader? It’s strange, though. Something special seemed to have happened during my foundation establishment, but I can’t put my finger on it. Afterward, my master remarked that my foundation was solid, and I’ve found my cultivation speed to have increased significantly ever since.”

“Sect Leader, you’re well-versed in many things. What’s happening with my situation? Is it a second chance at cultivation?”

Qin Changqing directly threw the question to Liu Mengxian.

“I know about such matters, of course,” Liu Mengxian said indifferently, “I’m far more knowledgeable about cultivation than you. As for your situation, I presume it might be a stroke of serendipity from the Heaven and Earth, having connected with the Heaven Bridge and Earth Bridge. By fusing your heart with Heaven and Earth, your cultivation has become smoother than before.”

“Heaven Bridge and Earth Bridge? What are they?”

“No need to ask more, just know that this opportunity is a gift from Heaven, and don’t waste it.”

Qin Changqing hesitated, “You, Sect Leader don’t know either?”

“Ridiculous!” Liu Mengxian’s beautiful eyes widened, “Do you think everyone is as lacking in ambition as you!?”

“Yes, yes, you’re right, Sect Leader. I will redouble my efforts from now on, work tirelessly, and contribute to the development and construction of our sect! Long live the Sect Leader, long live Lingxiao Sect!”

Liu Mengxian’s mouth twitched slightly.

Where did this guy learn all these catchphrases?

Well, she really didn’t know what cultivation was like for someone who established their foundation with heavenly blessings..
