"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. There's nothing interesting to see anymore," Zhang Ran waved his hand to dismiss the crowd of women.

"My lord, will you be refining pills later?" Miss Wan asked leisurely, blinking her bright eyes in a seductive manner, as if she had learned it from somewhere. Her eyes became even more captivating.

"Of course we'll be refining pills. But from now on, no more explosions in the furnace. The pill furnace is very expensive, and I can't afford to keep doing this," Zhang Ran said seriously.

Miss Wan couldn't help but chuckle. "My lord, are you unable to perform?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran couldn't bear it. "What did you say? How dare you say I can't perform? If you don't beg for mercy ten thousand times, you won't be able to escape from my clutches."

"Ah~" With a cry of surprise, a streak of light instantly appeared in the alchemy room, and the door slammed shut.

Before long, the temperature in the alchemy room began to rise.

Days passed one by one.

The deeds of Zhang Ran in the Million Mountains had not dissipated, and many people were analyzing the true extent of his strength.

In the middle of the Great Qian Dynasty, there was a beautiful lake, spanning millions of square meters. In the center of the lake, there was a small island.

From the outside, the island appeared pink, but it was only when one got closer that they could see the peach trees covering the island.

This was the residence of the Seventh Prince. The entire island belonged to him. The Seventh Prince didn't like to establish a family, so there were less than a hundred people living in this vast residence.

These people were responsible for taking care of the peach trees and maintaining the cleanliness of the island. Their cultivation levels were only at Qi Refining and Foundation Building.

In a loft deep within the island, the Seventh Prince sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion.

He had also heard of the deeds of the Ninth Prince and his gaze revealed a hint of satisfaction. "Well, I initially thought you had found an ordinary person, but it turns out he is such a genius. He is indeed much better than me, but..."

As he spoke, his originally gentle expression gradually turned cold.

"But, this Ninth Prince is so promiscuous. Why do you have to follow him, Yu Yan? It has been so many years since we last parted, why do I miss you more and more?"

He sighed, feeling unwilling, but love was not something that could be forced.

It was precisely because his heart had always been with Yu Yan that it led to the madness of the Holy Maiden of the Jun Family.

On the night of their marriage, he was thinking of the person in his heart even on the bed. He couldn't help but call out the wrong name. That night, he called out Yu Yan's name, so it was no wonder that the Holy Maiden of the Jun Family resented Yu Yan so much.

And after giving birth to Li Qiushui, she never shared a bed with the Seventh Prince again, because every time the Holy Maiden of the Jun Family saw the longing gaze in the Seventh Prince's eyes, she couldn't help but want to kill him.

Li Canghai walked out of the door and saw the sea of peach blossoms, revealing a trace of reminiscence.

Muttering to himself, "Back then, you said you liked peach blossoms, so I planted nine million peach trees here. Unfortunately, you never came to see them."

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly as he looked up at the sky. A rainbow was rapidly approaching from the horizon.

"Prince Zhu Lintian? What is he here for?" The Seventh Prince furrowed his brows. He had never had any dealings with this person before.

"Seventh Lord, I apologize for the intrusion today. I came uninvited and I ask for your forgiveness," Zhu Lintian's figure descended.

This island, the Seventh Lord did not set up any formations. Even an ordinary person could land here by rowing a boat.

Feeling the unfathomable aura of the Fifth Lord, Li Canghai's pupils slightly contracted. It was clear that he couldn't see through this person at all.

In his heart, he thought, 'They say the Third Lord and the Great Lord have the highest cultivation, but the cultivation of this Fifth Lord is also completely unfathomable to me.'

The Seventh Lord's expression remained indifferent as he said, "Fifth Lord, I have never liked noise or excessive interaction with outsiders. What is the matter? Speak quickly."

The Fifth Lord didn't mind Li Canghai's coldness and smiled as he said, "I came here to discuss with you about your daughter and the matter with the Jun family's Holy Maiden. Do you know that a few days ago, the Jun family's Holy Maiden had a fight with the Ninth Lord? However, no one knows the outcome of that battle."

Li Canghai's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing the Jun family's Holy Maiden's name. He clearly didn't want to hear about this woman, but how could he have fought with the Ninth Lord? "How do you know about this? Why did she fight with the Ninth Lord? They don't have any grudges, do they?"

"Seventh Lord, don't tell me you don't even know that your daughter has gotten close to the Ninth Lord," Zhu Lintian said in astonishment. He realized that the Seventh Lord seemed to be unaware of external matters.

Indeed, the Seventh Lord was completely ignorant of external matters. If it weren't for the commotion caused by Zhang Ran, his servants wouldn't have known about it either. They discussed it among themselves while taking care of the Peach Blossom Forest, and Li Canghai overheard them. Otherwise, he would have had no idea.

Mainly, fifteen years ago, when he learned that Yu Yan had already married, he completely secluded himself and stopped caring about external matters. He even neglected his own daughter.

He had completely forgotten about the woman he had only slept with once.

Li Canghai's hand trembled upon hearing that Li Qiushui had gotten close to the Ninth Lord. "What? Are you sure?"

The Fifth Lord said strangely, "Do we still need to confirm this? Judging by the speed at which the Ninth Lord sows his seeds, she's probably already pregnant."

"Boom!"...

After hearing this, the Seventh Lord's anger surged, and a terrifying aura erupted on the island.

But even so, he directed all his anger towards the sky, not allowing the peach trees to be affected.

The clouds in the sky were dispersed by the force of his anger, and even the sky dimmed because of his furious radiance.

"Seventh Lord, calm down first. Let me finish what I have to say," the Fifth Lord stood in front of Li Canghai and was not concerned about this aura at all. He slowly persuaded him.

"How can I calm down?!" The Seventh Lord was about to go to the Ninth Lord's residence. His beloved woman was following Zhang Ran. He had nothing to say. A woman's feelings couldn't be controlled.

But now, his daughter had also run off with someone. He couldn't bear it. The two most important people in his heart were now following Zhang Ran. He couldn't tolerate this humiliation.

"Lord, please calm down," the Fifth Lord hurriedly held Li Canghai back. A fluorescent halo scattered from Zhu Lintian's hand and slowly dissipated. This halo touched the Seventh Lord and unexpectedly calmed down his anger.

After a while, Li Canghai looked at the usually low-key Fifth Lord with a strange gaze, shocked by his strength.

"Seventh Lord, there's no need to rush. Let me tell you what I know, and after we finish talking, what you do is up to you," the Fifth Lord said, spreading his hands.

The Seventh Lord glanced at him and walked into the attic. The originally empty hall slowly rose with a jade square table and two milky-white stone stools.

"Please sit," the Seventh Lord poured a cup of tea and handed it over. "Fifth Lord, speak quickly."

"Alright, what I want to talk about is still related to the battle between the Jun family's Holy Maiden and the Ninth Lord. I don't know the details or the outcome of that battle, but your daughter, Li Qiu, was also there. The place where they fought was in the territory of the Six Sects."
