In a dilapidated secret realm, there was a chair with a hot pot on it, and Han Guanshu and his sons were eating around the chair.
Before Han Guanshu could speak, Han Fei asked, “Let’s talk about your daughter-in-law first. You’re a Venerable! Why don’t you save your daughter-in-law?”
Han Guanshu put a piece of fish into his mouth and seed very satisfied with the food. “It’s her fate. Xia Xiaochan’s identity is not simple. If she stays here, it’s not good for her. The Thousand Star City doesn’t have space for her to grow.”
Han Fei was speechless. “Okay, that makes sense, but why didn’t you save back then?”
Han Guanshu smiled and looked at Han Fei. “Are you dead?”
Han Fei’s eyelids twitched. “You had calculated what would happen to ?”
Han Guanshu shook his head slightly. “I’m not omnipotent. I couldn’t know for sure, but I could figure out that you wouldn’t die. You were in a crisis, but it couldn’t kill you.”
Han Fei was speechless. Co on, I’m your son!
Tang Ge was surprised. “Father, what are you discussing? What happened to Han Fei before?”
Han Guanshu smiled. “Nothing. Tang Ge, you must have had a hard ti in those years when I was away.”
Tang Ge shook his head. “Father, Han Fei and I are brothers and looked out for one another.”
Han Guanshu smiled and said, “OK, good. Since you are in the Heavenly Sword Sect and I think Mu Ling is very suitable for you, I’m going to talk to Mu Tianfang about your marriage.”
“Huh?”
Tang Ge blushed imdiately. Marriage?
He was still young. Wouldn’t it be too early?
Han Fei also looked at Han Guanshu in surprise but then his heart did a flip. No! It definitely wasn’t that simple. Cultivators’ lives are so long, and now is a critical period for Tang Ge’s cultivation. Why did Old Han want Tang Ge to marry now?
For so reason, he felt that sothing was wrong.
However, if Tang Ge and Mu Ling were married, it would not be bad. At least Tang Ge would live much more comfortably than him.
Han Fei was thinking about what it would be like if he asked Xia Xiaochan’s family to marry Xia Xiaochan off to him. He might be beaten to death and thrown out!
Han Fei said, “It’s OK! You two will marry anyway. But Old Han, since I’ve grabbed the painting, can I go to the Thousand Star City in the future?”
Han Guanshu nodded. “Yes, but a year from now.”
“Why?”
Han Guanshu said indifferently, “A Venerable is not enough to overawe them. Not only do you have to go to the Thousand Star City, but the Thug Academy may also choose to return. Before you show your fangs, because of , those people in the Thousand Star City may not target you.”
Han Fei grasped sothing keenly. He frowned and said, “Showing fangs? What do you an?”
Han Guanshu said, “No matter what era or group, high-ranking people always value what benefits you bring to the table. You’ve taken the Sea Quelling Painting, which ans that you’ve got the opportunity to beco a king, so they won’t just let you develop and grow stronger. Just imagine, if you beco a king, what will happen?”
Han Fei frowned. Becoming king? I’m going to beco the Ninth Heavenly Lord, and the entire 8 million kiloters will be mine...
Thinking of this, Han Fei took a breath.
Yes, the Thousand Star City hadn’t had a king-level powerhouse yet, so whichever family was the strongest had the most say.
But once he beca a king...
These big clans would worry that if he beca their masters, he could take revenge on them, deprive them of their rights, and contain them.
If he were a mber of these big clans, he would probably have had the sa idea.
Han Guanshu looked at Han Fei with a smile. “Have you figured it out?”
Han Fei frowned. “So they are likely to send strong n to kill at any ti?”
Han Guanshu shook his head slightly. “With , they dare not do that for the ti being. Even if a Venerable cos to kill you in person, I will discover it. However, this is only before you beco an Explorer.”
Han Fei grinned. “Then how will they deal with ?”
Han Guanshu said, “They will give you certain privileges.”
Han Fei: “???”
Han Fei was surprised. “What do you an?”
Han Guanshu said, “Perhaps they will give you a certain amount of power, which is why I think the Thug Academy will return.”
“Why would they do that?”
Han Guanshu said, “There are still many unresolved mysteries in this sea. For example, the Ten Thousand Demon Valley is still there. If you can beco a king, it’ll be your business to solve the problems of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. Although they can’t kill you, they will try to make as many troubles as possible for you. I will not intervene in this.”
Han Fei took a breath. Will these people be so insidious?
Although the Ten Thousand Demon Valley was defeated this ti, there were still countless sea demons. The world at the other end of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley was also a territory that was difficult for humans to explore. Han Fei knew that there were still many dangers there. Moreover, there was the mysterious royal city.
Han Fei asked casually, “What will happen if I beco an Explorer?”
Han Guanshu shook his head. “Don’t make the breakthrough to beco an Explorer here.”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “Why?”
Han Guanshu said leisurely, “To make the breakthrough, you’ll have to survive a terrifying thunderstorm. You have beco the target of the public in this territory, so you can’t hide it from their eyes. At that ti, even I can’t guarantee that you can survive this thunderstorm. They wouldn’t even need to kill you. All they would need to do is to make you unable to survive the thunder.”
Han Fei took a deep breath. Yes, that makes sense!
Tang Ge’s face was dark. “Shaless.”
Han Guanshu glanced at Tang Ge and said, “Tang Ge, since they know that you’re my foster son, they won’t let you beco an Explorer either, so you’ll have to marry Mu Ling as soon as possible.”
Han Fei patted his thigh. “No wonder... If Tang Ge marries Mu Ling, Tang Ge will be regarded as a mber of the Heavenly Sword Sect that is the head of the seven major sects. Then those people will hesitate to attack you.”
Han Guanshu nodded. “Yes, smart boy.”
Tang Ge’s face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth. “These big clans have been such bullies for too long.”
Han Guanshu laughed and said, “Ge’er, from today on, before Han Fei returns as an Explorer, you two had better not see each other too much.”
Tang Ge imdiately said, “Father, where is Han Fei going?”
Han Guanshu smiled. “Not now, but in the future.”
After telling Tang Ge what he wanted to tell him, Han Guanshu said, “Ge’er, I will send you back first. Ask Mu Tianfang to wait for for a while.”
Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to see Han Fei often now, Tang Ge decided to find a way to beco an Explorer as soon as possible under the cover of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“OK.”
With a wave of Han Guanshu’s hand, Tang Ge disappeared.
On the sea.
Mu Tianfang hadn’t left, and the other major sects had taken their long-lost disciples back and were thinking about whether to leave.
Tang Ge suddenly appeared on the sea.
Mu Tian said with a smile, “How is it going? What did you talk about?”
Tang Ge’s face turned red. “Master, my Foster Father said he had sothing to talk to you about later.”
“Oh?”
Mu Tianfang was a little surprised. What did Han Guanshu want to talk to him about? They didn’t know each other well...
Mu Ling blushed instantly and widened her eyes. She knew Tang Ge better than her father, so when she saw Tang Ge blushing, she had guessed sothing, and she was a little nervous now.
...
In the secret realm.
Han Fei looked at Old Han and asked, “Why did you ask Tang Ge to leave?”
Han Guanshu smiled. “Don’t you have anything to ask ?”
Han Fei glanced at him. “Will you answer any questions I ask?”
Then he said, “Since you said that I shouldn’t beco an Explorer here, do you an I should go to the other side through the Demon Plant Forest?”
Han Guanshu nodded.
Han Fei said, “Is the other side the Water Wood World? I an the Water Wood Heavenly Palace?”
Han Feishu smiled and nodded again.
Han Fei took a breath. As expected, Old Han had already known about the Heavenly Palaces. He suddenly changed the topic. “How did my mother die?”
Han Guanshu paused. “Because of you.”
“Huh?”
Han Guanshu said, “Didn’t you see it?”
Han Fei’s eyes widened. How did Old Han know what I saw?
Han Guanshu said, “Because not everyone can go into that place. When I was holding the knife, I was hesitating and guessing who you were. Apart from her and , it could only be you.”
Han Fei felt a chill down his spine. So he had guessed it was him?
Han Fei asked, “Then... Why did you kill her? And why did she want to kill ?”
Han Guanshu was puzzled for a mont. “Oh! It seems you haven’t seen the whole picture...”
“What do you an?”
Han Guanshu smiled. “Who said she wanted to kill you? And who said I killed her?”
Han Fei was speechless. “I thought I saw it all... You stabbed...”
Han Guanshu shook his head slightly. “No. I will tell you the answer in the future, but not now because it will affect your cultivation ntality.”
Han Fei looked at Old Han speechlessly. “Don’t hold in suspense, OK? You might as well tell now.”
Han Guanshu shook his head. “Not now.”
Han Fei was discouraged. “Then can you at least tell who she was?”
This ti, Han Guanshu was surprised. “You don’t know who she was?”
Han Fei was dumbfounded. Why give this look? Am I supposed to know who she was?
Han Guanshu said, “Whatever, I can’t tell you now. Okay, let tell you another thing. Sothing disastrous is going to happen to the Thug Academy. If you’re involved in it, you will also suffer, but if you stay out of it, you’ll be safe.”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. “What do you an? Can’t you help them out?”
Han Guanshu shook his head. “No, as I said, I’m not omnipotent. You know, changing the course of one thing may change the course of countless things. Besides, I’ve calculated that the result of this catastrophe will be good and bad...”
