Ye Shuang and Ye Tian would never have guessed.
The two guards they looked down upon were actually looking down on their mid-grade magic artifact.
The Second Elder originally felt a bit annoyed when he heard the name Ye Shuang.
However, once the guard started speaking, he instead broke into a smile, "Alright, alright, alright, you all are very clever, go on in. Have the Great Elder get ready to emerge from seclusion—I’ll go arrange matters."
Having received the praise, the guards went inside, feeling elated.

Here, Shaohua had finally completed the last step of crafting, inscribing the array.
But after playing with the array, the suspended silver shortsword emitted a light hum and then fell into her palm.
Shaohua looked at it with disdain and tossed it onto the ground.
When the shortsword hit the ground, it trembled slightly, as if it felt aggrieved.
The simple bamboo house door was pushed open.
The visitor did not seem to have any intention of concealing his presence; his white robes fell to the ground as he bent slightly to pick up the silver shortsword that Shaohua had discarded.
His dark, profound eyes narrowed slightly, and a clear voice emerged from the bamboo house, "A top-grade spiritual artifact that has developed spiritual intelligence... In any of the three great sects, it would be an object coveted by all, and even this you find unworthy?"
"Give it to Aunt Liao," Shaohua said, patting her sleeves and standing up. "I intended to try crafting an immortal artifact, but legendary immortal artifacts are indeed difficult to make. I’m stuck at the level 6 array and can’t break through for now, so I might as well go home and take a look first. There’s no rush to make a breakthrough."
Liao Yunchen paused for a moment with the shortsword in his hand upon hearing Shaohua’s words.
A top-grade spiritual artifact, while not at the level of an immortal artifact, is nevertheless comparable to the most low-grade of immortal artifacts.
Liao Yunchen was not joking.
Should such a top-grade spiritual artifact fall into outsider hands, it would indeed cause chaos in the Cultivation World—those major sects would sacrifice a divine realm cultivator if they had to, just to seize this top-grade spiritual artifact!
The gift was, by any measure, exceedingly generous.
Then, glancing sideways with a lazy tone in his voice, "... A dowry?"
"You return it to me, thanks," Shaohua replied indifferently, having traversed so many worlds.
In the time flow of this world, counting the acceleration, she had stayed for nearly thirty years, and there was still no sign of completing her mission.
However, now for Shaohua, Ye Yuan no longer posed any threat, and the main mission, along with artifact crafting, had become the simplest task for her.
Her main focus was now divided between the Ye Family and artifact crafting.
What Shaohua had taken, Liao Yunchen would not think to return to her.
Instead, he casually tossed a Space Ring her way.
"The things you asked for last time are all in this Space Ring," said Liao Yunchen, who had gone to great lengths to fulfill her requests. "Your Great Elder is waiting for you outside. I am going to head home to rest for a couple of days and will come to the Ye Residence looking for you tomorrow."
Upon hearing that Shaohua had given her another gift, Liao’s mother was stunned for a moment.
Then she accepted it with joy, "Shaohua has given me another gift? Is she still blacksmithing now? But why hasn’t she sent me hairpins or something?"
Over the past two years, Shaohua had also sent her several gifts.
Items such as hairpins, bracelets, and belts of unidentifiable material.
Without going into details, everything Shaohua gifted was not only precious but also extremely attractive. Liao’s mother felt that wearing these items made her seem shrewder in her card games with other noblewomen than in previous times.
And somehow, her friends had been telling her that she seemed younger these past few years, even asking if she had bought expensive Face-preserving Pills from an auction house.
But this time, it was peculiar to receive a shortsword.
Though she didn’t understand, given that the shortsword also looked exquisitely crafted and different from what could be bought outside, she was pleased nonetheless.
"Son, you better get ready. We should set up a Blacksmith Shop for our home. Otherwise, when Shaohua marries into our family, she won’t have her hobby of smithing anymore." Thinking of that, Liao’s mother cast a glance at Liao Yunchen.
If the Ye Family could indulge Shaohua’s hobbies, there was no reason they couldn’t do the same at the Liao Family.
When Liao Yunchen first delivered that hairpin on behalf of Shaohua, Liao’s mother asked him a question.
Liao Yunchen didn’t directly mention crafting at the time; he said it was still too soon to let the secret out and only mentioned that Shaohua enjoyed smithing as a hobby.
Unexpectedly, the word spread... and now everyone in town was aware.
He: "... Sure."
