"Let's go, to the Gathering of Sages Pavilion. I happen to have something to discuss with you." The Third Young Master of the You Family pulled Yang Quan along and headed toward the Gathering of Sages Pavilion in the city.

The Gathering of Sages Pavilion in Yan City was located in the center of the city and was jointly established by their Five Great Families. With its complete selection of dishes and luxurious decor, it was the favorite place for various Major Powers to gather.

On the top floor of the Gathering of Sages Pavilion, Yang Quan and the Third Young Master of the You Family sat opposite each other, with steaming wine and dishes in front of them.

"Brother Yang, what did you need to find me for when you went to my Family?" The Third Young Master of the You Family took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of meat, put it into his mouth, and looked at Yang Quan curiously.

"How did that matter of yours go?" Yang Quan lowered his head, leaned in, and asked in a low voice.

In fact, every room in the Gathering of Sages Pavilion was soundproof, making it impossible for anyone to overhear them. However, the matter was so confidential that he couldn't help but lower his voice.

"Are you referring to that matter?" Seeing Yang Quan nod, the Third Young Master of the You Family smiled and said, "That matter has already been resolved. The Old Ancestor has agreed."

"He agreed just like that?" Yang Quan's eyes widened in disbelief. His own Old Ancestor had agreed more readily because Qin Ming had done him a favor, but what was the Old Ancestor You thinking? How could he have agreed so easily?

"Indeed." The Third Young Master of the You Family smiled triumphantly and said, "I just mentioned it to the Old Ancestor, and he agreed."

"Why?" Yang Quan felt his head buzzing. He had originally thought that things would go much smoother on his end, and he wasn't sure if the Third Young Master of the You Family could even get it done.

He hadn't expected that not only did he succeed, but he was no slower than him.

"It's very simple: interests. Although the Five Great Families of Yan City seem united, there are already rifts now. Especially after the last trip to the Ancient Secret Realm, we all obtained Venerable Qin's perfect elixir, and our Family's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. Now, everyone is restless." The Third Young Master of the You Family sighed and said.

Yang Quan understood. Since the last trip to the Ancient Secret Realm, the strength of the several Families had improved to varying degrees.

With improved strength, they naturally wanted more. One direction was internal strife, and the other direction was naturally looking toward those Major Powers.

The Pill Alliance and the Feather Transformation Sect were among them. Clearly, the Old Ancestor You favored the Feather Transformation Sect more, choosing to become enemies with the Pill Alliance.

"The Pill Alliance is an established Power. Why would your Old Ancestor choose Qin Ming?" Yang Quan asked, somewhat curious.

"Because Qin Ming is young. The Old Ancestor intends to take a risk. If we win, what we gain will definitely be better than following the Pill Alliance. If we lose, at worst, we just won't leave the Secret Realm." The Third Young Master of the You Family curled his lips and said.

"Free-spirited." Yang Quan was speechless. He was beyond speechless. Why was the Old Ancestor You's personality so similar to the Third Young Master of the You Family's? They were truly from the same Family.

"Come, let's toast to our free-spirited nature!" The Third Young Master of the You Family raised his wine glass and laughed loudly.

"Cheers!"

…

Qin Ming's Secret Realm.

"What did you say? The You Family and the Yang Family want to form an alliance with us?" Qin Ming looked shocked as he stared at the Disciple reporting the intelligence in front of him.

"Yes, Sect Master. This is the news transmitted from Yan City. They also sent an invitation, inviting you to go over." The Disciple of the Feather Transformation Sect bowed and reported.

"I didn't expect that they would really be able to persuade their respective Family Martial Venerables to form an alliance with me." Qin Ming was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that while he was enemies with the Power of the Pill Alliance, someone would still come over to actively form an alliance.
