Chapter 1560


    Severin chuckled awkwardly and replied, “Oh, you jest. I’d be ufortable if you, my father–in-w,


    addressed me as senior.”


    Birk joined in theughter and said, “You’re quite the joker! Just like I am. Haha!*


    ncing at the elders and Grand elders, Birk continued, “I guess it’s no longer necessary to continue


    with today’s meeting then. I will hand each of you a third–grade high–rank pill, and we’ll gather tonight


    for a toast to my son–inw–our guest of honor! When tomorrowes, we’ll focus on our training


    and do our best to secure a breakthrough in our attainment.”


    He then said to Severin, “I won’t have a lot of free time tomorrow, but Sofia will be with you and she can


    show you around the sect too. When I’m avable, we can grab a drink or two. Do enjoy


    your stay here!”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Severin nodded with a smile. “Of course. I’ll make the most of my time here. You and the rest of


    the sect can focus on advancing your attainment. Don’t worry about me.


    Sofia yfully interjected with a grin, “Are you satisfied with the betrothal gift, Dad?” Her hands


    were sped behind her back.


    Birkughed heartily and said, “You bet I am! These precious pills are something I can’t even


    begin to ask for ”


    He paused for a moment and frowned, saying, “But I’d be even more delighted if there were a few


    fourth–grade low–rank pills.”


    “You’re getting greedy, Dad. Fourth–grade pills are highly sought after even by saints,” Sofia


    teased


    Sheter turned to Severin and the others, saying, “Shall we? It’s gettingte, so I’ll show you to


    your rooms.”


    Word quickly spread within the sect about Sofia’s return with her husband, with her as his third


    wife.


    “You can’t be serious. How did she be a third wife?” Meldrick clenched his fists in horror, and


    his face twisted in disbelief. He had recently reached level four warrior emperor and was hoping to


    impress Sofia with his progress upon her return. The unexpected news of Sofia being someone


    else’s third wife almost made him vomit blood.

    Draven, who by then had reached level one warrior emperor, flew over andmented. “I don’t


    know if you’ve heard this, but Miss Sofia came back with a man. She became his third wife, which


    I think isn’t befitting of a sect leader’s daughter. She ought to have married someone more


    reputable. Even if the guy has a good attainment, it’s still unlikely that he might be fit to be the


    sect leader’s daughter.”


    Meldrick’s face soured as he said, “I’ve heard. I’ll check this with our sect leader.”


    He flew to Birk’s residence without a second to waste.


    Meanwhile, Birk was in high spirits as he lounged in his yard.


    “I heard that Sofia returned, and she’s now the third wife of an unaffiliated practitioner. Is that


    true? Meldrick posed the question to Birk immediately after arriving.


    Birk nced at Meldrick and nodded, saying. “That’s right. I’m impressed by how swiftly you’ve


    gotten that information when it’s only been less than half an hour since she arrived!”
