When she heard his slightly agitated words, Bai Jiao found it a bit baffling. But when she glanced at Ji Haiyang and Old Daoist Ma, both of whom were sneakily glancing at Bai Shiyi with smug expressions, she knew they hadn't said anything good.

"Okay." Bai Jiao answered, turned around, and left.

After Bai Jiao left, Ji Haiyang laughed and said, "This Shen Qiang is really an interesting guy; he still needs you guys to maintain order. Maybe he's prepared a luxury car for your Bai Jiao, afraid others haven't seen one before, hahaha, it's really amusing. So many cultivators here, which one isn't a famous, renowned strong figure? What kind of scene haven't they seen? Not to mention luxury cars, even if he studded the car with diamonds, no one would bother to look twice."

"That's not necessarily true." Old Daoist Ma chuckled teasingly, "What if Shen Qiang is worried about someone stealing his car lights?"

Listening to these two's veiled sarcasm, Bai Shiyi grew increasingly displeased as if a giant stone was blocking his chest.

After all, in every aspect, he was very satisfied and highly regarded Shen Qiang—appearance, wisdom, ability—it was simply flawless.

But in the matter of coming to pick up Bai Jiao, he seemed a bit lacking in attention to detail. First, Shen Qiang had mentioned before that his parents wouldn't show up. While Bai Shiyi understood that two ordinary elderly appearing in the unpredictable cultivation world would certainly be targeted by those with ulterior motives.

So, Shen Qiang's parents not showing up was understandable to Bai Shiyi.

After all, safety is more important than anything.

However, upon hearing Ji Haiyang's words, Bai Shiyi's dissatisfaction was due to Shen Qiang having visited Bai Manor, knowing Bai Family had an airport and airplane, but throughout he never discussed how he planned to pick up Bai Jiao.

Moreover, if no one mentions it, of course, it doesn't matter.

Now, everyone is seizing on the fact that Shen Qiang doesn't have a plane to stir up trouble. Even if Shen Qiang were to bring the best car in the world, he would still be mocked.

And there would be no way to refute it.

"These young people still don't consider things thoroughly when getting things done!" Bai Shiyi took a deep breath, thought to himself, then calmly smiled at Ji Haiyang and Old Daoist Ma, saying, "From the way you're talking, I doubt you'll be able to buy the Jiazi Pill anytime soon."

Ji Haiyang and Old Daoist Ma were immediately stunned.

"Old Bai, that's not fair. We're just joking with you; you're not a three-year-old child. You can't just flip at a moment's notice!" Ji Haiyang looked perplexed.

Old Daoist Ma was a bit anxious too, "Hey! Bai, if you can't take a joke, you should have said so earlier."

Seeing their somewhat anxious expressions, Bai Shiyi smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Oh? Haha, I was just joking with you guys too."

Outside the tent isolated by the gauzy magical treasure.

At this moment, the sky had already brightened.

Hundreds of cultivators from various places sat quietly by the table, drinking tea.

"Heehee, it's hilarious. Look, there's a storm brewing online. They're all saying Shen Qiang can't afford a plane, can't build an airport, and is staying together with the Bai Family's young lady to climb high branches." A young cultivator lowered his voice.

Next to him, another cultivator laughed, his eyes filled with ridicule as he transmitted his voice, "Isn't it obvious? Look at Bai Family's power and Shen Qiang's capability; they're simply not on the same level. Who would believe that Shen Qiang isn't with her for climbing high branches?"

"Isn't that obvious? What status does Shen Qiang have now? A big shot at Heshenghe, he's definitely considered a powerful wealthy figure in the cultivation world. A typical person getting married, arranging a luxury car fleet would be quite prestigious, but if the King of Demons prepared a car fleet, that would be embarrassing. Even if he can't afford it, doesn't have the budget, he should at least rent a plane, right? After all, the journey isn't short, over a thousand kilometers."

"Exactly, exactly, did you see the plane over there? Those cultivation world people always boast about how powerful Shen Qiang is, haha. Without Bai Family's plane, I reckon they wouldn't be able to get back by nightfall, so don't guess anymore. Shen Qiang will definitely set up a car fleet, then return with Bai Jiao on Bai Family's plane."

"Mm-hmm, that's definitely the case."

Hundreds of cultivators sat at tables, whispering to each other. Bai Jiao, dressed in traditional attire of Red Robe, was playfully complaining to her grandmother, "Grandma, look at my dad, honestly, Shen Qiang asked me to tell him, but he ignores me."

The old lady kindly held Bai Jiao's hand and said, "Silly girl, your dad has no good people around him. Those are all scheming, smiling but plotting types. If he ignores, he must have his reasons, so don't think too much about it. You, today, don't need to care about anything, just wait for Shen Qiang to take you away."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jiao sighed with relief, held her grandmother's hand, and said playfully, "These past few months, I've been thinking about today every day, even dreaming that Shen Qiang would come to pick me up riding on auspicious clouds. But now..."

Looking at the phone placed beside her, Bai Jiao felt a bit disappointed and said, "Those people online are saying that Shen Qiang is only with me for the Bai Family's money and status, also mocking him, saying he'll surely arrange a rustic car fleet."

The old lady laughed, "Just follow your own path, live your own life, let others say what they want."

Bai Jiao sighed, then said with a sweet grin, "I won't overthink it. I'm not one of those insecure girls who are scared into believing anything people say. I know Shen Qiang likes me, and that's enough."

Just then, Bai Jiao's phone rang.

Bai Jiao picked up her phone and immediately saw the message from Shen Qiang: "Arriving in ten seconds."

Instantly, Bai Jiao froze, astonished, she said to the assistant next to her, "Go tell my Dad, Shen Qiang is here."

After speaking, Bai Jiao looked with wide eyes at the old lady, saying, "Arriving in ten seconds, aren't there people from our family at every intersection? How has no one reported back anything?"

The old lady smiled, "Just wait for him to arrive calmly; you're not allowed to be clumsy today, young lady."

Bai Jiao nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, inside the gauzy magical treasure tent, Bai Shiyi exclaimed, "Shen Qiang is here?"

Bai Jiao's assistant replied, "It seems so."

Upon hearing this, Ji Haiyang laughed, "Really joking around, I've been using my divine sense to monitor the surroundings, there isn't any movement at all."

Old Daoist Ma also laughed and spread his divine sense, then said, "Old Bai, your son-in-law isn't being honest. In Fangyuan City, there's absolutely no sign of him."

Bai Shiyi frowned.

Yet, just at this moment, Ji Haiyang and Old Daoist Ma's expressions changed drastically, both of them suddenly looked up.

"So fast!" Ji Haiyang was amazed.

Old Daoist Ma immediately stood up, stunned, and said, "What is this!"

And almost at the same time.

Everyone at Bai Manor heard a proud voice coming from the sky: "I, Shen Qiang, have come to marry Miss Bai Jiao. If there's a ceremony, it can begin!"
