Here, the Heshenghe team is already on the road, and the debate in the online chat room hasn't ceased. Meanwhile, outside the Bai Villa, on the lawn near the airport, the spirited Bai Shiyi is already seated at the table with several big shots from the Cultivation World.

Beside them, a delicate beauty is brewing tea.

A magical treasure, hanging like a mosquito net, cleanly blocks out the chaotic laughter of three to four hundred cultivators who came to offer their congratulations outside.

"In today's world, speaking of young heroes, Shen Qiang undoubtedly stands out as one of the best," an elderly man said with a chuckle, "So congratulations to Villa Master Bai for finding such a wonderful son-in-law."

Hearing this, Bai Shiyi, brimming with pride, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh, please, you're too kind. Shen Qiang is still young, a bit inexperienced, but Ma Ziyan from your sect, not only ranks among the five tigers of cultivation, but is also humble and peaceful, a truly refined gentleman."

The old man smiled, "Villa Master Bai, you're being too polite. While Ma Ziyan has some skills, in your heart, there must be not a small gap compared to Shen Qiang. Otherwise, when I repeatedly came to propose marriage before, you wouldn't have turned me down flatly."

Noticing the old man's clearly sarcastic tone, Bai Shiyi laughed and said, "If you think that way, Ma old brother, you're being too cynical. Honestly, I've lived my whole life acting on personal preference, quite capricious. Shen Qiang happens to remind me a bit of my younger self. Besides, my daughter fell in love with him at first sight. As her father, how could I stop her?"

The old man's gaze turned chilly, "In the end, Villa Master Bai still thinks Ma Ziyan is inferior to Shen Qiang."

Seeing the old man displeased, a man who bore some resemblance to the Ji brothers, Ji Liangchuan and Ji Liangyuan, smiled, calmly setting down his teacup and said, "Ma Daoist, talking like this makes you seem argumentative. Your Ma Ziyan is excellent in cultivation and knowledge, but his mind is too scheming, like an old yellow dog waiting to bite under the millstone. So it's not just Villa Master Bai. I, too, do not favor him."

"Ji, what do you mean?" Ma Daoist furrowed his brows.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haiyang, the current head of Long Chang, nonchalantly raised an eyebrow and said, "I mean no offense, just that it's laughable how blindly you defend Ma Ziyan when the entire cultivation world sees through his scheming ways except for you."

"Ji, don't speak nonsense," Ma Daoist said.

"If you're upset, I'll stop," Ji Haiyang casually raised an eyebrow, "Moreover, let me remind you, today is a joyous day for the Bai Villa, so don't speak with excess emotion, lest you make a scene and let the youngsters outside have a laugh."

Ma Daoist fell silent.

Bai Shiyi smiled, "Alright, when it involves interests, we seem to have a messy account. However, on the surface, we should appear decent, so today, let's let those sect interests and business dealings go to hell. Let's just chat casually, after all, such opportunities are rare."

Glancing at his phone, Ji Haiyang smiled at Bai Shiyi, "Have you seen this? People from the cultivation world are discussing in the forum live chat that Shen Qiang is with Bai Jiao for money and status."

"Better to have a reason than none," Bai Shiyi gave Ji Haiyang a smile that hid a knife, "Besides, I heard your fourth son's fiancée called off the engagement, saying she wouldn't marry into your Ji Family no matter what and even went to work at Shen Qiang's bun shop?"

Seeing Ji Haiyang, who was smiling a moment ago, now with his face turned somber, Bai Shiyi chuckled, "She's said to be one of today's bridesmaids and seems quite happy."

Seeing Ji Haiyang's increasingly unpleasant expression, Ma Daoist barely smiled, "A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, that girl isn't foolish."

In an instant, Ji Haiyang's face turned ashen, "That Liangyuan kid is too capricious and doesn't listen to advice, but luckily I have many sons. Our youngest, Ji Liangchuan, gets along with Shen Qiang, so Villa Master Bai, don't let a whim disrupt the youngsters' friendships."

Bai Shiyi laughed, "Oh, Ji Liangchuan, tall and handsome. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. His previous girlfriend, that rather beautiful female teacher, is also one of the bridesmaids."

Bang!

Hearing this, Ji Haiyang slammed the table in anger and stood up.

Ma Daoist laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes blossomed like chrysanthemums.

"Young Ji, your temper is too poor, you need to change. Sit down, sit down, we agreed to chat casually, why such a temper?"

Listening to Ma Daoist's obvious mocking tone, Ji Haiyang suppressed his rage, sitting down, and sneered, "Bai Shiyi, don't get too complacent. No matter how impressive Shen Qiang is, his surname is Shen. No matter how inferior Ji Liangchuan or Ji Liangyuan may be, their surname is Ji."

Bai Shiyi frowned, his eyes turning slightly cold.

Seeing he seemed upset, Ji Haiyang smiled, "Moreover, it's already being said online that as excellent as Shen Qiang is, he doesn't even have a plane and is being mocked by cultivators. Aren't you, Bai Shiyi, the one who loves face the most?"

"If you were to gift a small plane as dowry and arrange for a team to build him an airport, then Shen Qiang might not be laughed at."

Hearing this, Bai Shiyi laughed, "Children have their own blessings; who gets them horses and cows?" His gaze turned cold, "The person I, Bai Shiyi, value, isn't some mere mortal who only recognizes money, but someone brave and resourceful, the strongest of our time."

Seeing Bai Shiyi's anger rising, Ji Haiyang smiled, teasingly, "Sounds impressive, but from when the Bai Family announced this until now, quite some time has passed, hasn't it? If Shen Qiang doesn't look down on the Bai Family, then he must be a brainless fellow."

Watching Bai Shiyi's gaze that seemed ready to ignite.

Ji Haiyang lightly laughed, "Otherwise, how could he not have made any preparations when coming to fetch Bai Jiao? At the very least, if he couldn't buy a near-sound speed aircraft, he should get a small plane, right?"

"Even if he doesn't buy a small plane, an airport should be built, shouldn't it? Otherwise, even if the Bai Family sends a thousand miles to give a beauty, they can't just park the plane on the rooftop, can they?"

Watching Ji Haiyang's teasing remarks, Bai Shiyi's face turned extremely grim.

Ma Daoist picked up his tea, smiling calmly, "It's said that Shen Qiang possesses divine strength; perhaps he might catch the plane by hand."

At that moment, Bai Shiyi felt as if his lungs would explode with anger.

Just then, Bai Jiao, dressed in traditional red attire, charmingly broke in, shaking her phone, and sweetly laughed to the nearly infuriated Bai Shiyi, "Dad, Shen Qiang just called, saying they'll probably arrive in about three minutes and wants you to maintain order to avoid chaos."

Bai Shiyi, knowing Shen Qiang was coming but unaware of the details, thought Shen Qiang might have organized some sort of convoy, and was instantly furious. With a journey of over a thousand kilometers, even at a mad dash, it would not reach the Provincial City in less than a dozen hours by car.

Especially seeing Ji Haiyang's teasing look and Ma Daoist's furtive smile, he was inexplicably angry, "Maintain what order? What scene haven't we seen in the Bai Family? Get out!"
