Refining the Mountains and Rivers

take a turn around him and get in touch with the mountain behind him.

Just this point alone was enough for some people to make their own attempts.
They were willing to take some risks, even if it meant getting their wrists broken by the East Zhou Family.

After all, as influences that had the qualifications to obtain a spot in the Path of 10,000 Souls, they were all somewhat confident in themselves.

It was said that the East Zhou Family’s Fourth Miss was a genuine beauty…

It was said that East Zhou Duly was an old acquaintance of Qin Yu…

It was said that both sides spoke to each other often and their behavior was close and intimate…

Know thyself and know thy enemy, only then would one be undefeated.
If there was an influence that could rise up from the infinite realms and myriad worlds, becoming a powerful force in their own right, they would certainly understand this truth.

Since it was decided that they would compete with the East Zhou Family for Qin Yu, they had to seek out the key to the entire matter in order to get twice the results with half the effort.

And now, as news spread out through various secret channels, the various influences came to the same conclusion as if by prior agreement – the reason that Qin Yu went to the East Zhou Family was East Zhou Duly.

If it was said that they didn’t feel envy then that would be a lie.
After all, the East Zhou Family didn’t do anything at all; they only had the good luck of giving birth to such a beautiful and outstanding young woman.
With that, they were able to form relations with Qin Yu first.
In the future, they might even obtain bigger benefits.

Luckily, we are also large families and we also have many outstanding daughters.
There will always be a chance in the future.

The problem is, what excuse do we make to approach Qin Yu without being loathed by him? And how do we tear open all the hindrances and barriers that the East Zhou Family put up?

Flies could always find cracks on the surface of an egg no matter how small they were.
This description might not be appropriate, but it was enough to express the approximate intent and meaning of the other influences.

As long as they wanted to find a reason, they would always manage to find one.
For instance, within the East Zhou Family, there was a certain Elder who was going to be holding his 3000 year birthday celebration.

As for us, we have always been on good terms with the East Zhou Family.
Since we know about this, it’s completely reasonable for us to visit to pay our respects and offer congratulations.
It wouldn’t be considered rude at all.

We took the initiative to celebrate a person’s birthday.
With so much courtesy and thoughtfulness, no matter how reluctant the East Zhou Family was, they couldn’t push people away, right?

Of course, it is only the 3000 year birthday celebration of an Elder, so it isn’t enough for the high-level figures to go.
In that case, it’s appropriate to dispatch some outstanding juniors.

As a result, a certain not well-known Elder of the East Zhou Family was left dumbfounded as he received countless birthday greeting jade slips.
The youths on the list all had immense backgrounds too.

If this were any other time, then receiving these jade slips would certainly cause one’s honor to rise dramatically and it would be enough for a person to brag about for hundreds of years.

But now, even an idiot knew what sort of game these guests were trying to play.
All of them were hurrying over for this celebration with dark intentions in mind.

Otherwise, why would so many cultivators and young ladies renowned for their beauty appear on the list of guests?

This was just so…ridiculous!

A certain Elder of the East Zhou Family cried without tears.
He never imagined he would be a raft that others would take advantage of to cause trouble.
In particular, when he saw the discontented eyes aimed at him from the Council of Elders, he felt even more anxious.

Hey, I am just a new and ordinary young Elder without any influence.
If I offend any of these big brothers here, my future will certainly be pitiful to the extreme.

But I have already replied and said that the birthday banquet was cancelled for some reason, yet those people didn’t answer back at all.
They are clearly pretending that they don’t know anything, so what am I supposed to do? I am also feeling helpless here!

The East Zhou Patriarch was expressionless, “Since they are so enthusiastic, my East Zhou Family will not refuse them.
If they want to come then let them come.
After all, they’ll find an excuse as long as they want one.
We cannot avoid this in the end.”

He had already left seclusion.
Although he had only vanished briefly, the feeling he gave off had changed immensely.

The ubiquitous oppression that used to linger around his entire body had disappeared.
Now there was only a loose calmness and carefreeness.

Even if one stood in front of him he seemed far away in the distance.
His aura was unsteady and couldn’t be captured at all.

Everyone knew that the Patriarch had made harvests during his seclusion.
Even if he didn’t make a breakthrough, his cultivation bottleneck had loosened.

As long as he was given enough time, there was a high chance he could break through his current cultivation and reach the boundary of strongest beneath a Ruler!

And this was all thanks to the advantages that Qin Yu brought to the East Zhou Family after coming here.
As long as they remained on good terms with him, there would be even more benefits in the future.

How could they let such a Qin Yu be stolen by others? Hum hum, so what if there are beautiful women? Do you think my East Zhou Family doesn’t have any? Don’t even think of taking him from us!
