“Miss Szar is no slouch either. She’s already at the pinnacle of the War Emperor realm, with one foot into the next!” Ian de replied.


    He had already probed her cultivation level. Reaching theter stage of the War Emperor was quitemendable among peers.


    “Not bad at all!” Pandora Szar’s eyes gleamed with a hint of pride.


    “Both of you are exceptional. With such skills at a young age, the future is boundless!” Homer Szar smiled again. After a brief pause, he turned to Clive de. “Clive, I wonder where de Lord is now. I came this time not only to congratte the old man but also to discuss something with him.”


    “Homer, I apologize, my brother is dealing with some matters with the old man and will be out soon. Please wait a moment,” Clive de said apologetically.


    “No problem, I’ll wait.” Homer Szar responded.


    “Hahaha… Homer, I apologize, there was something going on just now. Please forgive the dy!” At this moment, a hearty voice sounded at the door, and then a middle-aged man walked in.


    The person who entered was the current Sect Master of de Sect, Ronald de.


    “Ronald!”


    “Father!”


    Clive de and Ian de stood up to greet him.


    “Ronald, it’s been a long time. You’re looking better and better!” Homer Szar and his daughter stood up, full of vitality.


    “I can’tpare with you, Homer. It’s been a few years, and you haven’t changed a bit!” Ronald de continued to smile. Then, he looked at Pandora Szar and said, “Is this Pandora? She’s grown so tall!”


    “Uncle Ronald, hello!” Pandora Szar greeted.


    “Haha, good, everyone is good. Sit down, let’s chat!” Ronald deughed again.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    After everyone sat down again, Ronald looked at Homer and asked, “I heard you say you have something to discuss with me?”


    “Yes, indeed. I want to discuss a joyous event with you.” Homer Szar smiled and said, “And it’s a big joyous event!”


    “Oh? I wonder what joyous event you’re referring to?” Ronald de asked with a smile.


    “I wonder if you still remember the agreement between the two old masters back then?” Homer Szar said.


    “Agreement?” Ronald was slightly stunned. “Homer, are you talking about the matter between Ian and Pandora?”


    “Exactly!” Homer Szar replied, “The two old masters mentioned back then that when Ian and Pandora reach the age of marriage, we can consider…”


    “Uncle Homer, I already have someone in my heart!” Before Homer Szar finished speaking, Ian interrupted him.


    “Huh?” Homer Szar was slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise shed in his eyes.


    Meanwhile, Pandora Szar, upon hearing Ian’s words, revealed a rxed expression, as if a burden had been lifted.


    “I don’t know which youngdy has caught Ian’s eye? ” Homer Szar asked with a smile. “How does her familypare to the Szar family?”


    “I don’t know!” Ian shook his head in response.


    He really didn’t know. He didn’t even know if Night Orchid had any romantic feelings for him, let alone her background. The reason he imed to have someone in his heart was just to dodge the topic.


    The Szar father and daughter, who hadn’t been in contact with them for several years, brought up the topic of marriage as soon as they arrived. Even someone with a low intelligence could tell that things were not that simple.


    Homer Szar furrowed his brows slightly. “Ian, does that mean you don’t have a good impression of Pandora?”


    Ian’s words elicited a sh of displeasure in Pandora Szar’s eyes. Just like her father, she could tell that Ian’s words were just a convenient excuse to look down on her. For her, even though she had no intention of being in a romantic rtionship with Ian de, it didn’t mean she could ept his disregard. As the young mistress of the Szar family and considering her current status, she no longer cared about de Sect. Among the young masters she knew, several had family backgrounds no less impressive than the de Sect. What was more important, these young masters were outstanding individuals, far surpassing Ian de in martial arts cultivation. Two of them, who had expressed interest in her, were already at the level of Half-Step War God-Emperor, and in a few months, they would likely break through to God-Emperor realm. With such outstanding suitors around her, how could she possibly consider Ian de, who had only reached the War Emperor realm?


    “Homer, you’re being too harsh. Ian didn’t mean that!” Ronald deughed and said, “You know this kid’s personality. Even though he’s in a rtionship, he never bothers to inquire about the other person’s background.”


    After taking a sip of tea, he continued, “Homer, in my opinion, let the young people decide their own matters. With Pandora’s outstanding qualities, there must be plenty of suitors. It’s just that Ian is not fortunate enough!”


    “If that’s the case, let’s drop the matter,” Homer Szar responded with a sip of tea, a trace of displeasure flickering in his eyes. Then, he stood up and said, “I don’t know if it’s convenient now, but I’d like to introduce an esteemed guest to you.”


    “Of course it’s convenient.” Ronald de nodded with a smile.


    Soon, a group of people walked out of the house. In the lively courtyard, many greeted the de brothers, and they responded warmly.


    A few minutester, Homer Szar led the group to a pavilion near the entrance of the courtyard. Ronald de scanned the area and saw a woman who appeared to be in her fifties or sixties sitting in the pavilion, with four young men and women standing behind her.


    “Master!” Pandora walked quickly towards the woman.


    “So, you’ve finished so quickly?” the woman asked.


    “I embarrassed you. He don’t appreciate me!” Pandora replied.


    “Oh?” The woman’s eyes narrowed slightly.


    “Really, they are shameless!” the grey-robed man behind the woman said in a deep voice. As he spoke, his eyes towards Pandora showed a hint of joy.


    “Vice Dean Hale, let me introduce you. This is de Sect’s leader, Ronald de!” Homer Szar spoke when they were about ten meters away from the woman. Then, he turned to Ronald and said, “Ronald, this is the esteemed guest I mentioned. You can call her Vice Dean Hale!”


    “Haha, wee Vice Dean Hale to the feast at my father’s house. It’s an honor!” Ronald deughed heartily. As he spoke, a hint of surprise shed across his face, as he had vaguely guessed the identity of the other party.


    “I’m fortunate toe for a cup of de Lord’s birthday wine. It’s a rare opportunity in life!” Fawn Hale, the woman, smiled lightly.


    “If I’m not mistaken, Vice Dean Hale should be the famous Needlework Sorceress in the martial arts world, right?” Ronald de smiled again and said.


    “Hmm?” Upon hearing this, both Clive de and Ian de’s pupils contracted slightly. Neither of them had expected the other party to be this person!


    Needlework Sorceress, renowned decades ago, terrified people with her embroidery needle skills. It was said that twenty years ago, she could already kill pseudo God-Emperor realm powerhouses with her embroidery needle. After two decades, her cultivation level was anyone’s guess.


    In the past twenty years, Needlework Sorceress had rarely appeared in the martial arts world. Some said she had retired, some said she joined a sect, and others imed she had been killed by enemies. But unexpectedly, twenty yearster, she reappeared today!
