Inside the exquisite garden pavilion, Qiu Yaoyao, Su Jingzhen, and two others sat across from each other.
Ji Qinghe had not invited any other high-ranking members of the Ji Clan.
Because now, she and Shen Yifeng alone could fully represent all the decisions of the Ji Clan.
“Brat, let me give you some good news first.
All the members of the Yan Clan’s Yan Ling lineage have been deliberately taken care of by your master over the past month.
They have been almost completely wiped out.
The remaining core members are mostly loyal to their Water Spirit Saint Body, which is your servant girl, Yan Xia.
Once Yan Xia reaches a sufficient cultivation level, she will almost certainly become the leader of the Yan Clan.
And the only leader!
At that time, the Yan Clan will practically be in your hands, won’t it?”
Upon hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, Su Jingzhen felt a surge of excitement.
Previously, Su Jingzhen had only asked them to go easy on the Yan Clan, never expecting Shen Yifeng and the others to be so thorough in their considerations.
Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “Although Yan Xia is a Water Spirit Saint Body, it will still take some time for her to grow to the level where she can lead the entire Yan Clan.”
They were aware of the general situation regarding the previous battle between the Yan Clan and the Ji Clan.
At this moment, they did not dwell on the topic any further.
“Master, Mistress, are you planning to participate in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition this time?”
This was the main reason why Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao had come to visit Ji Qinghe, aside from paying their respects.
After all, Shen Yifeng’s current realm was only the Divine Intent Realm, but his martial strength was probably far above the Ascendant level.
If he were to participate, it would be like cheating.
He would be invincible in the Luo River Basin.
However, Shen Yifeng shook his head with a smile, “The Great War has just ended, and everything is in disarray. This time, the Ji Clan will not participate.
And with my current strength, it would indeed be pointless to participate.”
Although Shen Yifeng was technically of the younger generation, his mindset had gradually aged over the past few decades.
He was not particularly interested in such grand events that belonged to the younger generation.
For Shen Yifeng, it was better to spend more time in the Luo River basin with Ji Qinghe.
They had not seen each other for decades, and just one or two months would not be enough to catch up.
Upon hearing this answer, Su Jingzhen was not surprised.
Before he could say more, Shen Yifeng continued, “Not only will we not go, but the Ji Clan will not send anyone this time.
I think the Yan Clan will probably do the same, but that girl needs to grow up. Maybe she will go with you this time.
However, I suspect that it will only be her.
The other sects, Heavenly Sword Sect, Earth Fiend Sect, and the like will probably send their usual participants.
Actually, in my opinion, with you and Yaoyao, you two should be able to sweep the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition.”
As Shen Yifeng spoke, he exuded an unparalleled confidence in Su Jingzhen.
At this moment, Ji Qinghe smiled and said, “Since this is your first visit, I don’t have any gifts to offer you, but how about you go to the Ji Clan’s treasure vault and pick out something you like?”
Shen Yifeng’s words were rather dry, but Ji Qinghe’s suggestion immediately brightened Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
Now that’s more like it.
“Thank you, Mistress!”
He wouldn’t be polite to Ji Qinghe.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yifeng’s eyes widened. “You really are not shy, are you? The Heavenly Dragon Race is richer than the Ji Clan. Are you trying to swindle us?”
However, Su Jingzhen smiled and replied, “This is our first official meeting, and Mistress is giving us a gift. As a disciple, I can’t refuse such a gesture.
Ji Qinghe was very pleased with this disciple.
Then she stood up and smiled at Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao. “Yaoyao, come with us. Even though the Ji Clan is not as rich as the Heavenly Dragon Race, we still have many fine treasures.”
Ji Qinghe was now one of the highest-ranking figures in the Ji Clan.
Naturally, she had the highest access to the clan’s treasure vault.
Soon, she led the two of them to the Ji Clan’s treasure vault. To Su Jingzhen’s surprise, the treasure vault was also a small room.
Ji Qinghe took out a token and opened the vault door, and an ancient aura immediately enveloped them.
“Mistress, can I take anything I want?”
Su Jingzhen was rubbing his hands together in excitement.
Ji Qinghe nodded in agreement. “If it catches your eye, it’s a fortunate day for those treasures. You and Yaoyao can choose together.”
“As the saying goes, when an elder offers a gift, it must not be refused. Yaoyao, let’s go.”
He was in dire need of treasures containing Dao essence to help Little Green awaken from its slumber.
As the top power in the Luo River Basin, the Ji Clan must have many such treasures.
Qiu Yaoyao also felt a tinge of anticipation.
The Heavenly Dragon Race truly had everything, and as a top-tier clan, they enjoyed the best resources.
However, she was naturally curious about the treasure vault of such an ancient and prestigious clan.
The two of them entered the treasure vault, and the door slowly closed behind them.
Ji Qinghe and Shen Yifeng did not follow them inside.
As the door closed, Ji Qinghe leaned against Shen Yifeng’s shoulder, her face radiating unparalleled happiness.
Even though she was one of the most powerful individuals in the Luo River Basin, she still displayed a touch of girlish softness at this moment.
“Brother Feng, I never imagined that we would reach this level again.
Looking at Su Jingzhen and Yaoyao now, they are so much like us back then. However, they are much luckier than we were.”
Ji Qinghe said with a sigh.
However, Shen Yifeng smiled and replied, “You might not believe me, but when I took this young man as my disciple, he had just transcended the realm of mortal flesh.
At that time his Dantian was shattered, and he began his body cultivation from scratch in the most remote city of a barbaric land.
He did it in less than a year. Can you imagine what could possibly stand in his way after accomplishing such a feat?
From Linjiang City to here, I am fully aware of everything he has done. Throughout his journey, the only word that comes to mind to describe him is ‘miracle’.

So with him participating in the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition, it is destined that everyone else will only serve as his supporting cast.”
As he spoke, Shen Yifeng’s eyes were filled with pride.
In his view, taking Su Jingzhen as his disciple was the best decision he had ever made.
Of course, Ji Qinghe had gathered some information about Su Jingzhen, but not as much as Shen Yifeng.
Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“I once read in an ancient text that some people are born to astonish the world,
And such individuals are often described with a special term: ‘Sons of Destiny’.
Maybe Su Jingzhen is one of those people.”
