Starry Elder and the others, upon hearing this, looked toward their junior sister, Heavenly Pond Immortal Venerable; they too wanted to know whether this was one of the conditions for the alliance.
Heavenly Pond Immortal Venerable had already anticipated this would come to light; she knew she couldn't keep it hidden, nor avoid being questioned. Her senior brothers were all discerning individuals.
"Yes, it is indeed one of the conditions," Heavenly Pond Immortal Venerable replied honestly. "Doesn't Senior Brother already know what An Lan possesses?"
The Crescent Moon Sage was being scrutinized by his junior sister. During the negotiation, they had explicitly demanded An Lan's marriage as a condition. Without settling this matter, even Hong Yan would seek him for closure, demanding custody of her daughter.
Not a single condition could be compromised; if even one were missing, the alliance would fall apart, and Ling Tianyu's threat would remain unchecked.
