"Calm down, Grandma," Sam gently patted her, as if trying to soothe her anger. "Getting worked up over this now would do you no good."

Sam\'s eyes revealed a cold killing intent, "And don\'t worry; they will be punished for their crimes soon. I will make sure of that."

Adriana didn\'t pay much attention to his declaration, as she was too busy enjoying his spoiling. Sophia, still in his hands, appeared annoyed that her grandma was stealing his attention from her.

\'This old bitch!\' Sophia grumbled in her mind.

While Adriana was enjoying his pampering, a beast resembling a pigeon that was 2 meters tall flew through a small window from the top corner of the mansion, appearing to be constructed on purpose.

It landed before the clan leader.

Adriana raised an eyebrow, grabbed the flask attached to its back, opened the flask cap, and yanked the letter inside out.

Her brows furrowed a little as she read the letter. "Those scheming old foxes, just what are they trying to achieve by this?"

"What is it, Mother?" Helena asked, observing the paper in her mother\'s hand. She recognized the symbol on its back—it belonged to one of the five Celestial Dragon clans, The Solheart Clan.

The main bloodline of the Solheart Clan is the Aurum Radiance dragon bloodline. The most unique trait of this bloodline is that everyone who awakens it has shimmering golden scales.

They also possess a racial ability to harness a certain type of energy directly from the sun, manifesting it in the form of golden flames.

The Hailstorm Clan\'s relationship with the Solheart Clan is neither good nor bad; they maintain a political relationship.

"As you already know, we\'ve sent invitations to the major leaders of forces in the Azure Dragon Continent for Sam\'s upcoming battle against Tomas Wichura."

"A battle?" Mia looked at Sam, seemingly asking for an explanation.

"Long story short, Sam is set to marry the second daughter of Nicholas Scarlett, but he must defeat his love rival, the young master of the Wichura Vampires Clan. The face-off is planned to take place in 2 days in Nightingale," Helena explained to Mia before turning her gaze back to her mother.

"The patriarch of the Solheart Clan feels that this battle is not worthy enough for him to show up in person. So, he suggests that instead of a single battle between you and Tomas, he wants all the younger generation cultivators to duke it out," Adriana replied, looking at the letter.

"Other leaders of the other three Dragon Clans, including the Flareheart Clan, have agreed to send their youngsters in the upcoming battle," Adriana lowered the letter, revealing the crests of four Dragon Clans: Solheart Clan, Flareheart Clan, Cristallini Clan, and Mistheart Clan.

Helena frowned, "Can\'t we just reject this idea?"

"We can\'t. It will be seen as us disrespecting the other Dragon Clans." Hailstorm Clan might be one of the strongest clans on the continent, but even it could be in jeopardy if four other clans with similar power targeted it.

"What do you think about this, dear?" All of them turned their gaze towards Sam.

"It doesn\'t matter how many geniuses I have to face because it will be I who will stand at the top. I\'m not scared."

"This is actually a good idea. This way, I can finally gauge my strength by comparing with others from the same generation as me," Sam said indifferently, as if stating an unchangeable truth.

"It\'s good to be confident, but you have to understand what these letters state. The young masters and young princesses of all the major forces on the continent have to duke it out. Some of these forces have produced talents so powerful that they were able to defeat cultivators of higher levels than them," Adriana said worriedly.

"Grandma, did you forget?" Sam\'s expression changed into disbelief, as if he couldn\'t believe that his grandma was doubting his strength.

His aura condensed around him before specks of very small, baseball-sized lights shot out from his body, revealing 9 Daoist foundations, 11 different-colored Daoist cores, and 11 different-colored Nascent Souls.

"I\'m a supreme cultivator. Do you think I will lose to these so-called geniuses who can fight against opponents with higher-level cultivation than them?" His stern voice sounded a little intimidating, though it was not directed at anyone—it was just how they perceived it.

"You give them titles like geniuses and talents. Why? Because they can fight against opponents with higher-level cultivation than them? Or because they break through realms much faster than an ordinary person? Or is it because they possess extraordinary abilities?"

"If possessing one of these things can grant them such titles, then what about me?"

"I possess all those things. Am I a talent too?"

Adriana gently cradled his handsome face with both hands. "No, my dear, you already hold an unparalleled title—a Supreme Path Cultivator. These arrogant brats may bask in their pride, but in the end, against a Supreme Cultivator, they are nothing more than small stepping stones toward invincibility."

"These meager titles are not worthy of you."

"I don\'t doubt you; I just don\'t want to reveal your excellence to the world when you haven\'t reached Sagehood."

"These old fools are cunning and heartless. If they feel threatened by your existence, they will resort to any despicable means to eliminate you," Adriana said, looking directly into his shimmering deep blue eyes that seemed deeper than the great ocean itself.

"Is that what concerns you?" Sam smirked as if finding it amusing.

"Just a meager Sage Realm?" Sam grinned confidently. "It won\'t take long before I reach Sagehood, so don\'t worry unnecessarily."

Sam gently rubbed her jade like white face.

"Let the geniuses come; I will step on their faces one after another and show them that before me, a Supreme Path Cultivator, they are nothing."

...

In the garden, two figures stood with an appropriate distance between them—Sam and Mia Hasegawa.

They appeared to be engaged in a casual conversation.

Observing the scene, annoyance crossed Sophia\'s gorgeous face. "Who is that fox bitch? Why is she talking with my dearest brother ALONE? If she is trying to seduce him, I will kill her right now."

"Sophia, please don\'t do anything like that. She\'s a friend of your brother, just here to talk. She won\'t do anything to him," Helena sighed, pleading with her daughter.

"Hmph," Sophia snorted and looked away in irritation. It seemed she didn\'t appreciate the vixen being alone with her sweet brother.

"My daughter, you have to work on your manners. I won\'t have you appear with that carefree and rogue attitude in the presence of the public," Helena said in a serious tone.

But Sophia, of course, received her advice in one ear and let it fall out of the other.

"Sophia," Helena rolled her eyes, looking very tired.

No matter how much advice or lessons Helena provided, she couldn\'t get her daughter to change her attitude. Helena wanted Sophia to be more feminine, to instill some etiquette into her daughter.

Sophia had always been an antisocial person, not the type scared or uncomfortable in social environments, but one who simply refused to participate in any social interaction.

It all started when Helena lied to her about Sam.

Her interactions with her own family dwindled, and at one point, she completely stopped even the remaining social relationships within her family.

She chose to stay inside the Eight Peaks of the Jade White Mountain and cultivate, seemingly attempting to run away from the pain known as relationships.

Things took a positive turn when she reunited with Helena and got to know Sam, someone she had imprinted on partially when he was still in Helena\'s womb.

Sophia began spending almost all her time with Sam, growing remarkably close in a short span.

Even Helena, while happy that her two children were getting along, couldn\'t help but feel a tinge of jealousy over Sophia\'s exclusive focus on Sam.

It seemed as though only Sam and Sophia were alive, and others were mere background.

As time passed, Sam officially got engaged to Amelia, Lenora, Yuna, and Ophelia, and Sophia, with some initial struggle, started to open up to more family members.

She began treating them as family, a significant change that pleased Helena immensely. However, there was one lingering issue that needed addressing – Sophia\'s carefree and rogue attitude.

No matter what method Helena employed to change Sophia\'s behavior, it yielded no results. Recognizing her daughter\'s concern, Adriana sighed and decided to have a heart-to-heart with Sophia.

"Sophia, my granddaughter, there\'s something I have to tell you," Adriana began.

"What?" Sophia asked, not bothering to turn her head.

Undeterred, Adriana continued, "In the future, your brother will become a major powerhouse. Naturally, he will inherit all the responsibilities, and he\'ll need someone by his side to support him."

Sophia turned her face in curiosity when Sam was mentioned in the conversation.

"As his older sister, it should be you who stands with him in the not-so-distant future. Can I trust you with this?" Adriana asked with a small smile.

"Yes, yes, yes! You can trust me. I will forever support my dearest brother," Sophia exclaimed excitedly.

The idea of supporting her dear brother for life? Count her in.

"But you can\'t do that if you don\'t grow out of your current carefree life, and I might have to appoint someone else for that position," Adriana said, shaking her head dramatically, which successfully caught Sophia\'s attention.

"Why... W-Why not?"

"There, there. Don\'t worry; it\'s not that bad. You can still have the spot as long as you pass some tests," Adriana continued.

"W-What kinds of tests?"

"Nothing much. I\'ll give you three weeks. Learn everything about our clan, from history to finance, and familiarize yourself with our subordinate clans too."

"When you feel confident about your knowledge, prepare me a report on all the things you learned. Just the important stuff would be enough. Once you complete this task, I\'ll assign you the next one," Adriana explained before Sophia, without waiting, darted off to the clan library.

Adriana and Helena watched her go with bewilderment.

"Seriously? Is that all it took to motivate her? Why didn\'t I think of using Sam\'s name to spur her?" Helena facepalmed, realizing the answer was right in front of her.

"Listen, daughter, Sophia loves Sam a little too much. Use that to train her. Even though it might seem like I said those things to motivate her, it was genuinely my intention. She is smart and talented, the best candidate to support Sam in the future," Adriana said.

"I understand, Mother. I also want what\'s best for her," Helena replied, looking back at the garden.
