Unexpectedly, Quentin acted humbly, a rare occurrence indeed. He glanced at Nash and said, "Oh, what do you mean you're relieved to hear this from me? The Woods family are the same as ours and other first-class aristocratic families; we have the same position and there's not much difference in our status, be it high or low. The Hunts were somewhat stronger back then as compared to other first-class aristocratic families, but this may very well have changed as of late. I'd say the Woods family is progressing quite nicely!”
Nash knew this man did not mean what he said, thus he immediately waved his hand and interjected, "No, no, no... Your Hunt family cannot be so easily surpassed. Your inheritance isn't something we can
compare to. After all, your Hunt family has such an established inheritance!"
Nash then looked forward and, in an attempt to shift the conversation, then spoke, “We're here, we're here... The Skies Pavilion has quite a large piece of territory. There are so many plazas and mountains around the area. Tsk, tsk! The Chi here is also very rich, and training here is definitely guaranteed. The Chi is much thicker compared to where our reclusive families are located!"
“That's for sure. This is how the world is. They are strong, and there are more than a dozen masters in the peak stage of the true-god level. They also have a huge amount of masters in the final and intermediate stages of the true-god level. Our families can't simply compare to these ancient clans!”
Quentin smiled bitterly before he glanced at Nash and added, "So, you're forced to come here even if the person marrying pavilion master Collins is your ex-wife, and you're extremely embarrassed?"
"What else is there to say? I can only hate myself for being not strong enough." Nash could only offer an awkward smile— everything was proven by a person’s strength, after all. The Four Ancients Clans was not something a reclusive family could contend against.
Quentin drove his flying sword when he suddenly stopped. He turned to Nash and Shirley with a frown on his solemn face." By the way, family masters, I suddenly recalled something rather worrying.”
"Worried? Master Hunt, what do you have to worry about?" asked the curious Shirley after she thought about it.
"Don't you think it's a bit too sudden for Lily to marry Joel Collins? I've been thinking about it, and they shouldn't have known one another previously, right? Why did they suddenly announce that they're getting married? There must be something hidden here, am I right?" fretted Quentin as he looked far away, airing his worries." Apart from that, if Lily Lagorio becomes the ninth wife, would she tell Joel information about the ultimate-god level fighting prowess? That doesn't look too favorable for us."
Nash and Shirley exchanged glances as their expressions instantly turned grave. After all, everything had indeed happened so suddenly. Apart from that, with Lily and Joel getting married, this woman might tell the old man about the ultimate-god level to further strengthen the Skies Pavilion.
Nash was quiet momentarily before he said, "I had always felt that Lily got together with Joel because the woman had obviously seduced the other party, never expecting to succeed. Her main goal is to revolt against the Woods family. However, I forgot about this. This woman might've told that old guy about going into the dangerous areas, and that’s surely no good for us!"
"Sigh! There's nothing we can do about it,” muttered Shirley with a bitter smile. "We only have a very, very small chance if she talks about it, but we don't know who'll break through into the ultimate-god level first!"
