Just as he was pondering, the Ning Clan Leader began to speak.
"Heh heh, I've heard that the Song Family recently produced two Divinity Transformation cultivators in a single day. We are truly envious!"
"Especially Young Daoist Song—to have advanced to Divinity Transformation at such a young age. Your future is surely limitless!"
He spouted one pleasantry after another, and the other two clan leaders chimed in with agreement, yet they deliberately avoided mentioning the division of benefits.
Song Qingyun listened with a half-smile, but his fingers were curled into tight fists, suppressing his inner dissatisfaction.
'I'd like to see how they're going to spin this.'
Sure enough, after a short while, the Ning Clan Leader said, "We know why the Song Family has come today, but..."
"Alas, it's a long story. You don't know this, but in reality, the resources of us top-tier families have been nearly depleted over the years. That includes the Secret Realms—many have not reappeared."
