Seeing Lin Fan's expression, Wang Lin was a bit surprised.

"Young Master Lin, could it be that Su Qiong you mentioned is truly the Su Qiong from the Huang Clan?"

"It should be." Lin Fan nodded without hiding anything—Su Qiong was his woman. How could he just watch her marry someone else? Even if Su Qiong belonged to one of the Twelve Ancient Clans, so what? Lin Fan could not give up.

Wang Lin looked at Lin Fan's expression, though he didn't know what the relationship was between Su Qiong and Lin Fan.

But.

Judging from Lin Fan's behavior, their relationship was definitely not ordinary.

Wang Lin hurriedly advised, "Young Master Lin, don't be impulsive. The Twelve Ancient Clans are not to be trifled with, and the Eight Ancient Clans of the Heavenly Earth Xuanhuang, Cosmic Primordial, even less so! If you know Miss Su Qiong, you should offer her your blessings. After all, she's marrying someone from the Xuan Clan, a clan ranked third among the Twelve Ancient Clans, just after the Heavenly Clan and Earth Clan."

Wang Lin briefly introduced the matters of the Twelve Ancient Clans to Lin Fan.

In the end.

He analyzed the risks for Lin Fan.

With Lin Fan's cultivation, it was simply impossible to oppose the Twelve Ancient Clans.

"You don't need to worry about this. I'll go to the Xuan Clan myself." Lin Fan's face darkened.

Wang Lin looked at Lin Fan and sighed, "Alright, Young Master Lin, if you must go, I won't stop you. The Transmission Array in the city can directly send you within the Xuan Clan's range; many people have been going to the Xuan Clan to offer congratulations these days. You can join the birthday celebration group to enter the Xuan Clan's range."

"But the Xuan Clan's main city is very special. Unless the Xuan Clan actively opens it, any outsider who enters will be discovered!"

"Got it. Thanks for the warning."

Lin Fan didn't stay long.

Wang Lin escorted Lin Fan to the Transmission Square.

Then, Lin Fan stepped onto the Transmission Array, making his way to the Xuan Clan.

One day later, Lin Fan appeared within the Xuan Clan's range.

It was a small city, about ten thousand miles away from the Xuan Clan's main city.

Near the Xuan Clan's main city, there were a total of twelve similar cities. Guests coming to congratulate the Xuan Clan were temporarily staying in these cities until the day of the grand wedding when the Xuan Clan would open the main city and invite millions of guests to enter for the ceremony.

Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry; there were still ten days until the wedding.

Therefore.

Su Qiong should be safe during these ten days.

Lin Fan had two plans. The first was to enter the Xuan Clan's main city now and take Su Qiong away.

The second plan was to crash the wedding publicly ten days later and steal the bride.

As Lin Fan pondered how to enter the Xuan Clan's main city, a group of people's voices drifted over from the street: "Have you heard? Tonight there's a birthday banquet for a Xuan Clan Princess, and the Xuan Clan has decided to make an exception. Tonight, they're allowing a select group of younger generation talents to enter the Xuan Clan's main city to celebrate the little princess's birthday."

"Oh? What conditions are needed to enter the Xuan Clan's main city?"

"Hehe! Well, I hear that as long as you have a commendable gift, you can get in."

"Such an opportunity? If I could get into the Xuan Clan's main city and meet the Xuan Clan's little princess, I might even get to know other powerful young experts!"

"What if I catch the eye of a nobleman or a young master? I might just soar to great heights!"

"Humph! Keep dreaming. I heard this time the birthday banquet seats for the Xuan Clan's little princess are divided into three tiers. The top tier! Anyone whose cultivation surpasses the Ninth Layer of the Path-Breaking Realm and is a talented genius can get in and interact closely with the Xuan Clan's little princess. There are a total of a hundred seats for the top tier!"

"The second tier, the middle tier, is in the central region of the great hall, with one thousand seats. The middle tier's minimum requirement is an Integration Realm Ninth Layer Dao Venerate, and the gift must be worth at least a hundred million essence weight!"

"The third tier, the lower tier, has a total of one hundred thousand seats, almost at the outer perimeter of the great hall, with no cultivation limit. The minimum requirement for a lower tier seat is a one million essence weight or an equivalent gift!"

"A million essence weight, just for a glimpse of the Xuan Clan's little princess?"

"Hehe! For a million essence weight, even seeing her is great!"

...

People on the street began discussing intently.

Lin Fan's eyes brightened, and he quickly walked over, politely asking, "Excuse me, if I want to attend this Xuan Clan little princess's birthday banquet, where should I sign up?"

The two people glanced at Lin Fan and sneered, "You're just a Second Rank Saint Emperor. Why join in the fun?"

"Hehe, I just want to see what the Xuan Clan's little princess looks like." Lin Fan feigned a honest expression.

"Friend, it's not that we're looking down on you, but the Xuan Clan's little princess has eyes set high above. It's unlikely she'll notice you," one of them shook his head.

"Exactly! Plus, your cultivation is only at the Second Rank Saint Emperor Realm. Even if you spend a million essence weight to get into the birthday banquet, the Xuan Clan's little princess won't even see you!" another reminded.

Isn't having a million essence weight better used to enhance your cultivation?

Why bother joining the crowd?

"I just want to see the Xuan Clan's little princess!" Lin Fan continued, deliberately refusing to change his obsessed expression.

The two saw they couldn't dissuade Lin Fan and pointed toward the Xuan Clan's main city, "Just head directly outside the Xuan Clan's main city, there's a registration area. As long as you have enough essence weight, you can attend the Xuan Clan's little princess's birthday banquet tonight."

"Thank you very much."

Lin Fan casually replied and then used Instant Escape, vanishing.

"Whoa!"

"Where'd he go?"

"Did we just see a ghost?"

The two cultivators looked at each other incredulously.

A quarter-hour later, Lin Fan had already arrived outside the Xuan Clan's main city.

Indeed.

There were dozens of huge tables at the city gate entrance, with countless people queueing in lines, numbering in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, all looking to see the Xuan Clan's little princess.

Lin Fan picked a line and stood at the back, just as mocking voices came from behind him.

"So many people! I didn't expect so many to want to see the Xuan Clan's little princess! Tsk tsk! This must be over a hundred thousand people, right?"

A group of young men and women approached.

One young man raised an eyebrow, "Whoa, didn't expect to see a Second Rank Saint Emperor here, seriously? A Second Rank Saint Emperor also wants to see the Xuan Clan's little princess?"

Among the people in line, the majority were of the Eighth and Ninth Rank Saint Emperor Realm, with a tenth of them at the Supreme level, and one percent at the Dao Venerate level.

A Second Rank Saint Emperor like Lin Fan was truly the only one.

"Alright, Feng Jian, what's wrong with wanting to see the Xuan Clan's little princess? Aren't you also here to see her?" a female companion couldn't help but chime in.

The young man named Feng Jian, whose cultivation was at the Eighth Layer of the Harmonization Realm Dao Venerate, arrogantly said, "Wan'er, you're mistaken. I can enter the middle tier seats for the Xuan Clan's little princess, among the thousand inside. Not like these people here settled for the lower tier seats, ten thousand people… haha, all queued at the very back? Can they even see the Xuan Clan's little princess?"

Feng Jian's tone carried undisguised mockery.

He deliberately glanced at Lin Fan: "In such a setting, there's really all sorts of people coming out of the woodwork, huh! The most important thing in life is to have self-awareness!"

"Feng Jian, what are you saying? His cultivation might be low, but didn't you also rise from the Saint Emperor Realm?" Mu Wan'er remarked angrily.

In the next moment.

Her gaze fell upon Lin Fan, and she said, "My apologies, sir! My junior is just like this."
