After completing his marriage agreement with Xiao Yixian, Fang Yu prepared to settle down temporarily in the Xiao Family and wait for the academy to arrive. Then he could simply join the academy, whether as a student or an instructor.
At least, that was how Fang Yu saw it.
However, on the third day after the wedding, someone from the imperial family arrived. It was none other than Yaoye, the imperial family's eldest princess.
Fang Yu naturally had a favorable impression of Yaoye, the imperial family's eldest princess, but no amount of fondness could compare to his own wife. Rather than being pleased by her arrival, he was somewhat annoyed. Her timing was utterly inappropriate—they had just gotten married, so what was she doing here to stir up trouble? Most importantly, Yaoye had brought along an old man.
He was the imperial family's ancestor, a peak nine-star Dou Emperor.
A supreme expert only one step away from breaking through to the Dou Sect realm. Yet that one step had plagued him for many years, and he had been unable to cross it. Without some great opportunity, he would never break through in this lifetime. If he failed to break through soon, his lifespan would run out. Once he was gone, the imperial family would lose one of its pillars—and an exceptionally thick pillar at that.
The imperial family's sixth-tier magical beast was much the same. That beast was also extraordinarily important to the imperial family, but it had suffered severe injuries.

Thus, one of the imperial family's two pillars had already fallen, while the other was rotten beyond repair.
Therefore, Fang Yu was not particularly alarmed by the imperial family's arrival
