"No." The middle-aged man answered with certainty.
"Other forces have never had any dealings with Qiongtian, so why would they lower their status to welcome them?"
There are many forces in Shouyun Continent, but there are three top families that stand above all other forces, reaching a height that ordinary forces cannot reach.
As for the other two continents, the selection process was to be done by drawing lots. However, the three top families did not participate in the drawing.
His Qu family happened to draw the sky.
The so-called welcoming does not only mean bringing them over, but also arranging their accommodation and introducing them to the local customs and practices of Shouyun.
The middle-aged man smiled with an ambiguous smile, "Letting Qiongtian's people stay in the Guye Forest for a few days is exactly what the other forces want to see."
"Master, I was ignorant." The old man with the hooked nose suddenly realized and showed the same smile.
While they were talking, other forces in Shouyun also learned that Qiongtian's people had arrived in Guye Forest. Seeing that the Qu family had not sent anyone out to welcome Qiongtian's people, they immediately guessed what the Qu family was intending to do.
Other forces also remained silent.
This behavior seems to be accepted by default.
This news was also heard by Yaoguang's people. They felt that Qiongtian was too cowardly and were unwilling to associate with him.
…

Shouyun Imperial Capital, Feng Family.
In the study, an old man with half-white hair sat in the main seat. He raised his cloudy old eyes and looked at the young man standing in front of the table.
The young man had eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as ink painting, and was extraordinarily handsome. He wore a dark purple brocade robe with a waistband and a delicate flower pinned around his waist. His almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, making him look nonchalant and lazy.
"Is there something?" The old man stopped writing, slowly clasped his hands together, and looked at him indifferently.
The young man said directly: "My niece is here, I want to pick her up."
The old man looked at him with deep eyes, emitting an extreme majesty, as if he could tear a person's body into pieces at the next moment.
The young man was not afraid at all and continued to look at the old man with a smile.
In this silent contest, the old man was finally defeated. He asked, "Is she Lan'er's daughter?"
The young man smiled and replied, "Yes, that's your great-granddaughter."
When the old man heard the word 'great-granddaughter', his cloudy eyes flickered slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and said, "If our Feng family shows up, it will disrupt the existing situation. Do you know..."
"Old man, what do you have to worry about? Her great-granddaughter is so outstanding. Even if you go to welcome her with drums and gongs, what can others do?" Di Nian looked impatient.
The old man lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment.
Then, the old man sighed, as if to compromise, and said, "I am your real grandfather, not some old man. If you want to go, let Feng Da and the others go with you. I also want to see the little girl."
"Okay." Di Nian smiled and nodded.
Just as Di Nian was about to step out of the study, a voice came from behind him.
"When did Lan'er say she would be back?"
Di Nian paused, raised an eyebrow and replied, "It should be a few days."
After Di Nian left, the butler who was guarding outside the study walked in with a respectful look. The butler looked at the old man, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and his face looked quite embarrassed.
"Just tell me what you have to say." The old man glanced at him.
The housekeeper carefully considered his words and said, "Master, Miss Di Lan's daughter is representing the young geniuses of Qiongtian. This may cause misunderstandings among the forces guarding the Clouds, and our Feng family will also suffer from public pressure."
The old man opened his eyelids and looked at the butler intently for a while.
The housekeeper felt the pressure and broke out in a cold sweat.
The old man said calmly, "What does my Feng family have to fear?"
As one of the three top families in Shouyun Continent, what's the harm in his Feng family enduring some pressure from public opinion?
"Do they dare to say anything wrong about my Feng family?" the old man said in a deep voice.
"The master is right." The butler lowered his head even more, trembling with fear, obviously not daring to offend the old man.
The old man frowned. He felt sorry for Di Yuan... the father of Di Nian and Di Lan, because more than a hundred years ago, he and his pregnant wife suffered a serious attack. When they fled to the Yunshuang Continent, his wife's amniotic fluid suddenly broke, and she forced herself to give birth to Di Yuan.
Later, his wife was killed by the attacking enemy while escaping with him.
He was filled with grief, seriously injured, and ran away and hid with the young baby in his arms.
Fate did not stop him. He saw someone from the side branch of the Tongshu Clan and then temporarily entrusted Di Yuan to an older woman. He thought that after avoiding this disaster, he would go back to take Di Yuan back to the Feng Family.
However, fate always plays tricks on people. He hit his head, which affected his nerves and caused him to forget the memory of his escape.
This forgetfulness lasted for more than a hundred years.
It wasn't until he saw Di Lan that he suddenly remembered. Filled with guilt, he wanted to go and fetch Di Yuan, but Di Yuan shook his head and said, "Father, I'm living well here now. I'm old, so there's no need to fight for anything. I know how fierce the struggles are within the big families. I might be assassinated as soon as I return."
"I have no desire to fight for anything, but I only ask for one thing. Father, can you please protect my Lan'er and Nian'er?"
Emperor Yuan lifted up his clothes and kowtowed to him several times.
He will never forget that scene.
He couldn't make up for Di Yuan, so he could only transfer his love to Di Nian and Di Lan.
The Feng family has many descendants, but the two siblings are exceptionally gifted in pupil skills, especially Di Lan. Di Lan's strength is definitely not much lower than his.
The old man, Feng Xiuyuan, sighed deeply.
Just as he picked up the pen and was about to write something, a guard came hurriedly from outside, and he immediately half-knelt outside the study.
"Master, I have something important to report!"
Feng Xiuyuan raised his eyes and said, "Speak."
"The Qu family was bombed by Qiongtian's people!"
"Aren't the people from Qiongtian in Guye Forest?" Feng Xiuyuan frowned suddenly and asked.
The guard quickly said, "It was an old man in a white robe who brought eight young geniuses. They found the location of the Qu family and then blew it up. Now the people of the Qu family are facing off with the people of Qiongtian."
The guard hesitated for a moment and reported, "When Young Master Di Nian heard the news, he immediately changed direction with his men and headed towards the Qu family."
The butler was shocked. "How dare someone from Qiongtian be so bold?"
Feng Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "Send someone to investigate the situation, and tell Young Master Di Nian not to act recklessly."
"Yes, Master!" the guard nodded in response.
…
And a quarter of an hour ago.
Zong Renwu led the Fengyun team to tear through the void and accurately found the location of the Qu family.
