The voice echoed twice in the room, and the green light on the little paper crane quickly dimmed.

"Yes, Master, your disciple will come right away."

Brian Young spoke to the paper crane with a look of reverence.

In the next moment, the green light on the little paper crane completely vanished, suddenly ignited, and in an instant turned to ashes.

To this, Brian Young was not surprised at all.

This paper crane was a low-level communication tool in the cultivation world, and it was single-use. As soon as the message was delivered, it would immediately self-ignite and turn to ashes.

"Master is looking for me at this critical moment; it must be for tomorrow's 'Wen Tian Assembly.'"

Brian Young let out a light sigh, glanced at the mysterious ring in his hand, and then got up and left the room.

Stepping onto the low-grade spiritual artifact "Qingfeng Sword," Brian Young flew unhurriedly above "Yang Family Fortress," heading toward his master's residence.

Brian Young's master’s surname was Liu, the chief elder of the Southern Ridge Yang family, possessing late-stage Spirit Concentration cultivation. Although Elder Clark was an elder of an outside surname, his strength was unfathomable, and his relationship with the family head was extraordinary, which was why he could become the chief elder of the Yang family.

During his flight, Brian Young quietly looked down at the Yang Family Fortress, shrouded in night, its lights twinkling.

At this moment, in the entire Yang Family Fortress, only Brian Young could fly on a sword.

Here lived a large number of mortals, as well as a few cultivators. The Yang family was the ruler here, with a family history of four to five hundred years.

Just as Brian Young flew to a certain spot, a pleasant female voice suddenly called from below:

"Brian Young big brother!! Wait!"

Brian Young instinctively stopped and immediately identified the owner of the voice.

"Amanda Young junior sister, it's you, and Gregory Young senior brother."

Brian Young descended from the sky, smiling as he looked at the young man and woman before him.

The young man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, dressed in a purple brocade robe, with thick eyebrows and a square face, appearing rather steady. He was the family head's personal disciple, named Gregory Young, who had already reached the peak of Qi Refining two years ago.

Gregory Young was the family's second most talented cultivator after Brian Young, and among the third generation, he was the most likely to reach the Spirit Concentration stage after Brian Young.

The young woman was about twenty, dressed in a moon-white long dress, as beautiful as a flower, with bright eyes like water and skin as white as snow with a luminous glow. When she saw Brian Young, her pretty face blushed, her eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but call out to Brian Young.

This woman was the family head's daughter, Amanda Young. She was naturally beautiful and quite gifted, admired by many of the family's disciples.

Just imagine, Amanda Young was the family head's daughter, beautiful as a flower, and had good talent. If anyone could become her dual cultivation partner, wouldn't that mean gaining both beauty and the vast Yang family fortune?

However, Amanda Young's standards were extremely high; ordinary people were simply beneath her notice.

"Brian Young big brother, where are you going? It's rare to see you flying on your sword inside the Yang Family Fortress."

Amanda Young walked over happily, coming to Brian Young's side, her words gentle.

"It's been a while since we last met. How have you been, junior sister?"

Brian Young replied calmly. Toward this proud junior sister, he didn't have much affection, but his impression of her wasn't bad either.

Seeing Amanda Young and Brian Young chatting so warmly, leaving him aside, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in Gregory Young's eyes.

Most of the family disciples knew that he, Gregory Young, was pursuing the family head's daughter, Amanda Young.

However, anyone with a keen eye could see that Amanda Young seemed quite fond of Brian Young.

It should be explained: in the Southern Ridge Yang family, although many disciples bore the surname Yang, most were not related by blood. Quite a few disciples originally did not have the Yang surname; they changed it after joining the family.

For example, Gregory Young was an orphan since childhood, with excellent aptitude, so the family head took him as a personal disciple and changed his surname to Yang.

Similarly, Brian Young took his father's surname, but his ancestral family name was not Yang either.

"Heh, Brian Young junior brother, everyone in the Southern Ridge Yang family knows you're a genius. The night in the Yang Family Fortress is so enchanting, so why do you need to fly on your sword in the sky and attract attention?"

Gregory Young's words carried a hint of sarcasm, but could not hide the jealousy in his heart.

You should know, only cultivators who reached the Spirit Concentration stage could fly on swords.

In the entire Yang Family Fortress, apart from Brian Young, none of the third-generation disciples could fly.

Gregory Young mocked Brian Young for showing off in the sky, but it also revealed his own jealousy.

"Right, I almost forgot. Master is looking for me, so I can't chat with you any longer. Junior sister, I'm off..."

Brian Young greeted Amanda Young and then flew away on his sword, not even glancing at Gregory Young.

"Take care, big brother Yang!"

Amanda Young said with a grin, watching Brian Young's graceful figure flying on his sword, her eyes full of longing and admiration, her heart filled with envy, and she murmured, "If only I could reach the Spirit Concentration stage too, flying on a sword and roaming the skies—how wonderful that would be."

"Hmph, it's just sword flying. Junior sister, as long as you work hard at your cultivation, in less than ten years, you'll definitely reach the Spirit Concentration stage too."
