The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

When Jiang Ming returned to Chaohui Sect, Fang Zhao was already standing at the sect's entrance waiting for him, and the Feng family disciple who had delivered the invitation was also there.

When Wang Xu saw Fang Zhao guarding the door, he went up to him and teased him: "Oh, Senior Brother Fang, why aren't you the senior brother today, but the Tiger Gate Envoy instead?"

Fang Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and his smile did not diminish: "Wang Xianfan is joking. This disciple is indeed waiting for Hall Master Jiang."

After speaking, he bowed to Jiang Ming and handed him the invitation.

Jiang Ming ignored him, only glancing at Wang Xu. Wang Xu immediately understood and asked Fang Zhao, "Who told you to deliver this?"

Fang Zhao said respectfully, "It was sent by the Feng family of Qiwu City. They obtained the Ten Thousand Year Twin Fruit and, knowing that Hall Master Jiang was inspecting the Chaohui Sect, specially delivered it to us."

Jiang Ming walked past Fang Zhao and continued inside.

Wang Xu accepted the invitation, ignored Fang Zhao, and strode after Jiang Ming, following behind him.

Seeing that the mission was complete, the Feng family disciple bid farewell to Fang Zhao: "Senior Brother Fang, now that the invitation has been delivered, I will be heading back now."

Fang Zhao returned the greeting and handed over a brocade bag: "Junior brother, you've worked hard. Hall Master Jiang has accepted this invitation. I can't guarantee whether Hall Master will attend or not. I hope you will report back to Patriarch Feng after you return."

The Feng family disciple accepted the brocade pouch and returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I've seen everything and will definitely report back to the family head truthfully."

Fang Zhao's smile deepened: "Then thank you very much, junior brother. Take care, junior brother."

The Feng family disciple said, "Senior Brother, you're too kind!" After saying that, he turned and left.

Fang Zhao watched the Feng family disciples leave, then turned around with a faint smile and walked towards Lin Chaoyang's study.

……

Chaohui Garden, Chenxi Pavilion.

Wang Xu closed the door to the outer hall, took out the invitation, and respectfully handed it to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming took the invitation, opened it, and glanced at it: "Heh, the Twin Fruit of Ten Thousand Years, it's not that great."

He casually tossed the invitation onto the table and glanced at the line on it: "Invitation to all major sects and immortal families."

Major sects and immortal clans?

Suddenly, I remembered that familiar fairy.

'Could it be that she's also going to Qiwu City?'

Wang Xu was flattering him: "What the hall master says is true. What good things haven't you seen? You dare to bring this ten-thousand-year twin fruit here to show off?"

"Hmm." Jiang Ming didn't listen to what Wang Xu was saying at all.

Jiang Ming picked up the invitation from the table and handed it to Wang Xu: "Keep it safe. We're going to Qiwu City tomorrow."

Wang Xu accepted the invitation in a daze: "Your subordinate obeys."

Once outside, Wang Xu still felt a bit unreal, wondering if he was hallucinating.

'You gave it to me again? You should keep it safe, or I might lose it?'

'Isn't the "Twin Fruit of Ten Thousand Years" supposed to be a very good thing?'

Wang Xu shook his head: 'I don't understand, I really don't understand.'

……

Qiwu City is quite far from Xianmu City. Shen Yao's small team flew around almost non-stop, and it took them four days to travel that distance.

When they arrived at the east gate of Qiwu City, there was another long queue.

The procession was moving too slowly, and Shen Yao couldn't help but mutter, "There are so many guest cultivators in Qiwu City? More than in Xianmu City."

The elegantly dressed middle-aged man in front turned around, saw that it was a female cultivator with an eighth-grade spiritual root, and then turned his head back.

A young female cultivator standing next to the uncle was very beautiful and bright. When she heard this, she turned around and looked back.

Upon seeing that it was a female cultivator with a cool and aloof demeanor, Zhao Hua's eyes lit up: A mature and elegant woman! Her temperament, her figure, her looks—everything about her is exactly what I'm looking for!

Zhao Hua gave Shen Yao a bright smile, and Shen Yao returned the smile.

"She's a kind older sister!" Zhao Hua smiled even more brightly, ignoring her father beside her, and pushed herself back, pushing Bai Song to the back so she could stand next to Shen Yao.

Zhao Hua introduced himself familiarly: "Beautiful sister, I am a disciple of the Wanhua Sect in Qijiang City, Fenzhou. My name is Zhao Hua."

Shen Yao politely replied, "Hello, Zhaohua, my name is Shen Yao."

Zhao Hua wasn't angry that he had mentioned his connections while Shen Yao hadn't. Instead, he leaned closer and said, "Sister Yao Yao."

Upon hearing the word "Sister Yao Yao," Xianyu's eyes widened as she looked over: Oh no! A wicked cultivator is trying to steal Yao Yao from her.

He immediately pushed past Wan Li behind Shen Yao, moved closer to Yao Yao, and took her arm.

When Zhao Hua took one look, wow! What a beautiful little girl! She's so gorgeous! Those eyes, that face, that adorable charm—she's got it all!

Zhao Hua gave Xianyu a bright smile: "Hello, little sister! My name is Zhao Hua, and I am a disciple of the Wanhua Sect in Fenzhou. You are so beautiful, little sister! I have never seen such a beautiful girl!"

Zhao Hua's elaborate praise made Xianyu blush, and he loosened his grip on Shen Yao's arm.

Xianyu blushed and remained silent. Zhaohua thought to himself: She gets shy as soon as she's praised, which makes her even cuter. He then said to Shen Yao, "Sister, there are many guests in Qiwu City recently because the Feng family is holding an appraisal event. We are close by and arrived early. In a few days, even more guests will come."

"I see." Shen Yao said, "Thank you, Fairy Zhaohua. It's just a treasure appraisal event by the Feng family. What kind of treasures are being appraised? Where is it held? Could you please clarify that for me?"

Zhao Hua: "The Feng family is the largest family in Qiwu City. The Feng family is large and its members are all very talented. There are no children in the Feng family below the eighth rank."

"Especially the direct descendants of the Feng family, once they awaken, even the worst ones have a sixth-grade five-elemental root."

"Because of this characteristic of the Feng family, all the major sects and families of the Immortal Clan want to form a marriage alliance with them."

Zhao Hua had no sense of propriety when it came to his words, and the older man in front of him couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to stop him: "Zhao Hua!"

Zhao Hua smiled awkwardly and said goodbye to Shen Yao and Xianyu: "Sister Yao Yao, pretty little sister, Father is calling me. Let's talk again when we get to the city!"

The older man pulled Zhaohua back.

Bai Song returned to his position.

Interrupted by the man in front of him, Zhao Hua was unable to talk about the appraisal event and could only inquire about it again in the city.

Shen Yao silently thought about the Feng family.

'There are no children below the eighth rank; even the lowest-ranking direct descendants are at least sixth rank with five spiritual roots.'

'In terms of genetic inheritance on Earth, if spiritual roots are a form of heredity, then the Feng family's genetic makeup is remarkably stable.'

'The Feng family has no low-level cultivators; no wonder major sects and families all want to form marriage alliances with them.'

'Once a marriage is arranged, it means the next generation will have at least three spiritual roots.'

'Thinking about it this way, the Feng family's influence must extend throughout the entire Immortal Clan, and it will only grow stronger in the future.'

Having figured this out, Shen Yao immediately decided that she absolutely had to find a way to attend the Feng family's treasure appraisal event, no matter what.

After observing the visiting cultivators in line again, it was clear that almost all of them were dressed in fine clothes, and their ranks were indistinguishable. They must be elders from major sects or senior members of large families who had come to keep their appointments.

An appraisal event, an appraisal of treasures—it sounds like something amazing, maybe even a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual fruit.

Thinking of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Yang Fruit, Shen Yao decided that she must find a way to sneak in. If she couldn't sneak in, she would use the Perfection Stone to smash herself in.
