The Qiu Family had long held a grudge against the Xu Family over the affair with the Chen Family. They later occupied the Chen Family's former lands, increasing the daily friction with the Xu Family. Then, by plotting to sabotage the Xu Family's Foundation Establishment plans, they tore away all pretense of peace, their conflict turning to open hostility.
It was only after the Xu Family's Xu Xujun successfully achieved Foundation Establishment that the Qiu Family grew more restrained.
The Xu Family, however, did not choose immediate revenge. Instead, they patiently endured, accelerating their development to strengthen their foundation.
The prosperity of the Cyan Spirit District, in particular, made the Qiu Family both envious and alarmed. The Qiu Family's leadership knew full well that if they allowed the Xu Family to continue developing in peace, their progress would be incredibly rapid.
