Xu Zimei encounters Jiang Jing, the second brother, and Jiang Shidai, the sister, along with her friends from the Ancient Academy. Jiang Jing is focused on martial arts, while Jiang Shidai's affiliation with the prestigious Ancient Academy grants her significant status. The arrival of Jiang Shidai and her companions on Dragon Horned Beasts draws attention, highlighting the influence of the Ancient Academy.

Generally speaking, we all know that major powers often produce spoiled children.

The arrogant ones who cause trouble for their fathers.

But in fact, besides spoiled children, these major powers cultivate more talented disciples.

Because they have vast resources and control the discourse, their chances of nurturing talented disciples are greater.

It's akin to ancient times.

Looking back across the five thousand years of historical rivers.

How many Prime Ministers came from poor families?

How many Prime Ministers were born into influential families?

The proportional representation is obvious.

It's not that children from poor families are stupid, but they lack resources, support, and avenues for advancement.

Thus, within the Ancient Academy.

Even for regular examination students.

Basically, ninety percent of the students have backing from major powers.

And the remaining ten percent of students from poor families are true prodigies.

Even without support, they can still surpass their peers.

Just like Yue Hongshuang among these four.

There's no power supporting her.

The Yue Family she belongs to is merely a small clan.

In fact, after she entered the Ancient Academy, the clan survived by relying on her name.

Otherwise, in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

Every day, some families are annihilated.

Even small worlds are frequently wiped out.

The high-level individuals are indifferent to such matters, but those at the bottom see it clearer than anyone.

And Wang Xin himself comes from a decent background, with some power in his family.

Although the Wang Family is not considered a top-tier power.

His father knows how to win people over, handling interpersonal relationships well, to the point where he sees everyone as brothers worldwide.

So the Wang Family has some small renown.

But compared to the Hidden Immortal Clan that Zang Nanqing belongs to, they are far apart.

Precisely because of this, Wang Xin has some thoughts of seeking Zang Nanqing's favor.

Hoping to establish good relations and leverage the might of the Hidden Immortal Clan.

Both Wang Xin and his father belong to those who know how to get things done.

This time at the Xuntian Clan's birthday banquet.

Wang Xin actually didn't want to attend initially.

But knowing that Zang Nanqing likes Jiang Shidai, coupled with his desire to mediate and win Zang Nanqing's favor.

He followed along.

In fact, when Jiang Shidai returned home this time, she originally only invited Yue Hongshuang.

Because Yue Hongshuang is a Loose Cultivator, with no entangled interests behind, their relationship at the academy is the best.

Later, Zang Nanqing learned of this and insisted on coming along.

Due to the power behind Zang Nanqing, Jiang Shidai couldn't refuse.

Thus, it resulted in the four of them coming together.

......

Before entering the Xuntian Mansion, Jiang Shidai first set expectations for everyone.

It's alright to offend others, but not the Old Lady.

Nor should they disrupt the atmosphere of the birthday banquet.

Otherwise, no one will be able to protect them at that time.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this time, the news of Jiang Shidai's return home also reached inside the Xuntian Mansion.

Suddenly, Jiang Shoutian laughed heartily as he came out from the mansion.

Personally leading a big group to welcome them.

This daughter is his pride.

Knowledgeable and courteous, with extraordinary talent, possessing all virtues.

Jiang Shoutian even thought about giving Jiang Shidai the position of Young Clan Leader of Xuntian Mansion.

But unfortunately, Jiang Shidai's heart was not set on this, she focused solely on seeking the Dao.

Jiang Shoutian had no choice but to give up.

......

"Look at who has returned," Jiang Shoutian said with a laugh as he stepped out.

"Greetings, father," Jiang Shidai stepped down from the Dragon Horned Horse and bowed to Jiang Shoutian.

Jiang Shoutian lifted her up.

Smiling, he said, "Why such formalities between us father and daughter."

"You've rarely returned home these years, father has been very worried about you outside!"

"Father, the path of seeking the Dao is arduous, if there's an accident, I would die without regret," Jiang Shidai said calmly.

Her tone was placid but powerful.

Symbolizing her determination in seeking the Dao.

At this moment, Jiang Shidai introduced her fellow students behind her to Jiang Shoutian.

"Father, these are my classmates from the academy, they've come back with me for the birthday celebration, I hope that's okay!"

"Welcome, welcome," Jiang Shoutian greeted with a smile.

"All of you coming has made the Xuntian Mansion's birthday banquet even more splendid."

"Feel free to make any requests."

"Greetings, Clan Leader Jiang, sorry for the disturbance," several people hurriedly responded.

Meanwhile, on one side.

Xu Zimei, Jiang Bin, and Jiang Jing had also been called out to join in welcoming their sister.

Indeed, Jiang Shidai was the youngest among the siblings.

But her strength was the greatest.

Even her character was the most mature.

Sometimes without considering age, it's hard to discern whether they were siblings or elder sisters and younger brothers.

Mainly because Jiang Shoutian's three sons truly couldn't compare to his daughter.

"Sister, you're back," Jiang Bin took a step forward to greet her proactively.

Jiang Shidai finally turned her gaze towards the three.

Slightly nodding.

She said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother."

She felt no particular affection for these three brothers.

Especially for Jiang Rui, the eldest brother who was extremely idle and spoiled, which she greatly disdained.

Thus, when greeting her brothers, her tone was much cooler.

At this point, Jiang Shoutian hurriedly ushered everyone inside.

The entire Xuntian Mansion was bustling with activity.

The birthday banquet was set for the next day.

Nearly all relatives, direct lineage disciples, and collateral lineage disciples.

Had returned today.

Moreover, not only the Xuntian Clan, but many members of the Zhou Di Clan had also come here.

It was at this time that Xu Zimei finally learned from some people's casual conversations the identity of this Old Lady.

It turned out that the Xuntian Clan and the Zhou Di Clan were originally one clan a long time ago.

The two clans did not initially reside in the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

But were on the Immortal Star.

That is, the sole Giant World in the Third Star System.

They were collectively known as the Heaven and Earth Clan.

This clan had many branches.

Simply put, it consisted of the Main Sect and the branches.

Both the Xuntian Clan and the Zhou Di Clan were considered one of the branches.

It's crucial to understand that outside the Main Sect, the Heaven and Earth Clan had over a hundred branches.

Each branch's strength was only stronger, not weaker than the Xuntian Clan.

It's easy to imagine how powerful the true Heaven and Earth Clan was.

And because the Xuntian Clan and the Zhou Di Clan made certain mistakes, they were exiled to the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

The two clans have been here for countless years.

And the Old Lady at the birthday banquet is said to be from the Main Sect of the Heaven and Earth Clan.

If they could please the Old Lady, there might be hope for the two clans to return to the Immortal Star.

After all, no matter how great the Heavenly Burial Grounds are, being the local ruler at Sky View Corner is nothing compared to the Giant World.

Those who have truly been to the Giant World will forever remember it.

The goal for everyone in the Xuntian Clan's efforts is to return to the Main Sect.

This is what Xu Zimei learned from some people's conversations.
