Just as Shen Qiang was engaging in intimate discussions with the Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing and the beautiful heroic thief Jiang Hanyang, on the Immortal Realm Forum, many cultivators were talking about the Hundred Flowers Palace's treasure exhibition.

"The treasure exhibition of the Hundred Flowers Palace is obviously a challenge to Heshenghe, can't you see that? Otherwise, why hold it now when they could have chosen an earlier or later time?"

"Exactly, holding the treasure exhibition so suddenly is certainly a spontaneous decision. Otherwise, with the influence of the Hundred Flowers Palace, they would have notified the cultivation world six months in advance. Now, there are only three days left until the exhibition, and it's bound to be small in scale."

"Yes, this is to embarrass Heshenghe. But to be honest, Heshenghe has been very high profile recently. The idol-level beauty Kang Luoying has joined, and one of the Five Tigers of Cultivation, Zuo Lianghao, has also joined. If they don't teach them a lesson, Heshenghe is going to become extremely arrogant."

"Hmm, I've heard that recently, it seems like Shen Qiang from Heshenghe is trying to reconcile, wanting to collaborate with several families, so it might be related to their cooperation."

"Tch, isn't it because they lack the capability? If they have the capability, why reconcile? Just fight, and take them all down!"

While many cultivators were making sarcastic remarks.

More cultivators were paying attention to which clans were participating in the treasure exhibition.

"Looking at the participant list announced by the Hundred Flowers Palace, the only first-class sects and families are Hidden Sword Villa, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Carefree Valley, and the Hundred Flowers Palace. They have sent invitations to other families, but most of them have not responded yet."

"Haha, I bet Long Chang will definitely go. Their family relies on selling flying swords, and this kind of treasure exhibition is their favorite, so for sure they will attend."

"Right, previously the Kunlun Sword Sect had a quarrel with Shen Qiang over the Dragon Group Security Advisor issue, making a fool of themselves, so I think they will also attend."

"Yes, besides them, other definite attendees of the treasure exhibition include Wanxin Hesheng and Cheng Xinyi. These two also make their living selling magical treasures, so they'll definitely be there."

"Then Heshenghe is finished. With so many first-class and super first-class sects challenging him, won't Shen Qiang have to tuck his tail between his legs?"

Such remarks filled the Immortal Realm Forum, as there were hardly any people in the cultivation world who believed that Shen Qiang's Heshenghe could resist the pressure of the treasure exhibition.

After all, in their opinion, the Hundred Flowers Palace, this family composed entirely of female disciples, though not outstandingly combat-capable, is actually the uncrowned king with the greatest secular influence in the cultivation world.

Because the Hundred Flowers Palace has many female disciples,

And they are taught elegant arts like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Those who can go to study there are mostly privileged and beautiful women.

So even though not many among them are explosively powerful with high martial skills, they often find good husbands.

Not only that, the precious daughters of various cultivator families, if they want to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or dance, their first choice is to apprentice at the Hundred Flowers Palace.

In terms of influence, the Hundred Flowers Palace, which isn't prominently combat-capable, is definitely second to none in the cultivation world.

Moreover.

With so many beauties, there naturally isn't a lack of foolishly generous suitors.

There are plenty who send magical treasures to the Hundred Flowers Palace.

To win a beauty's smile, there's truly nothing that hot-blooded cultivators wouldn't dare do.

So in the entire cultivation world, there is basically no one willing to become enemies with the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Over time, this naturally nurtured the habit and demeanor of the women of the Hundred Flowers Palace being haughty and self-important.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to throw a ladle at Shen Qiang in his own shop.

A thousand miles away.

Bai Mansion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The time was nearing midnight.

In Bai Shiyi's room, a few people were seated.

"Family Head, the Hundred Flowers Palace is urging us to attend their treasure exhibition quite urgently. What do you think about this?"

Bai Shiyi raised an eyebrow coldly, "Do you even need to ask me about this? That Hundred Flowers Palace clearly wants to use this treasure exhibition to intimidate our Bai family's son-in-law Shen Qiang. We, Cheng Xinyi, would only attend if we had water in our brains."

The man said, "Family Head, we understand your point. Actually, what we really want to ask is, since there's only a little over a month until Shen Qiang comes to marry the eldest lady, should we publicly announce this matter?"

Bai Shiyi raised an eyebrow, "Announce Shen Qiang and Bai Jiao's matter at this critical moment? Do you want the Bai family to support Shen Qiang?"

The man hesitated, startled, "Family Head, so what do you mean?"

Bai Shiyi said without thinking, "Send an elite team to attend, symbolically carry something so we don't lose face. If the Hundred Flowers Palace tries to take action against Shen Qiang during the treasure exhibition, save Shen Qiang for me. Otherwise, just enjoy the show."

The man was dazed for a moment before saying, "Okay, I understand what you mean."

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away.

Xu Family.

The Xu Family's Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder were sitting at a table.

Beside them, Xu's father, in pajamas, lay lazily on the sofa, watching the commercial-break soap opera.

"The Hundred Flowers Palace, Qingyun Sword Pavilion, Hidden Sword Villa, and Carefree Valley have purchased a large amount of pharmaceuticals and lots of mid-quality low-rank magical treasures from our Wanxin Hesheng. It seems they intend to act against Heshenghe."

Upon hearing this, Xu's father sat up abruptly, angrily saying, "How dare they even think of targeting my daughter's husband. They must not be forgiven, fight, fight, beat them to death."

The three Great Elders looked at him with disdain, as if looking at a fool.

Then the three of them discussed among themselves.

"The women of the Hundred Flowers Palace are too self-absorbed. They clearly know Shen Qiang is our Wanxin Hesheng Jiazi Pill supplier, yet they use the excuse of the treasure exhibition to have us stand by them."

The Second Elder smiled, looking at his phone, "As long as there isn't a better lifespan extension pill than the Jiazi Pill in the cultivation world, as long as Shen Qiang is around, our Wanxin Hesheng will never fall. Those self-absorbed women, relying on their slight beauty, think all cultivators will revolve around their skirts. Why don't we send a team to see what they really intend to do?"

The Third Elder laughed, "I agree. If they dare try anything against Shen Qiang, then let's take action."
