It has been more than two years since Han Cai's father dropped his son. After spending so much money bribing the sect, he had to work twice as hard to make up for it. But the business was back on track.
Today when Han Dai woke up, he heard from a servant inford that his mother had called a family eting. Han Dai's mother was also the matriarch of the Han household. She rarely participated in any family business. But when she ordered, everyone responded imdiately.
Family hall of Han household. There were more than fifty mbers in the Han household. They were all present in the hall where the Matriarch sat on the main seat while elders who were Han Dai's uncles sat around her. Han Dai sat a bit far. The young generation of Han Family Han Cai's cousins stood around their parents.
When everyone joined the hall, it was quiet for a while, then the Matriarch spoke in a soft, loving voice,"Daier, did you receive any letter from Caier about the sect he joined?"
Han Dai and Han family mbers were a little confused. Han Dai's mother, who managed the family after his father's death, was very strict with family mbers to make sure they did not get conceited because of the booming business. Why was she being so gentle right now?
She was still staring at Han Dai. Han Dai got out of his stupor and spoke, "No, mother, I haven't heard from him yet. But I had made arrangents for him so that he was not treated badly. Why, you ask?"
Lady Jin, the Matriarch, smiled. All the family mbers almost fell down to the floor. What was going on? She never smiles.
One of the elders couldn't take it, and he spoke, "lady Jin what is going on? Do you have news?"
Lady Jin gave another charming smile and spoke, "Yes, I received a letter from the patriarch of the Hong family. His grand-nephew is the Mayor of Cloud Mountain City. He is also an elder of the inner sect of the Sky soaring sect."
Family mbers were wide-eyed. An elder from the inner sect sent a letter to the Matriarch! How powerful was an elder of the inner sect? His one word could destroy their whole town.
Lady Jin spoke this ti. She had a serious face. "What I am going to say is very important. And no one is allowed to speak about it outside the family."
Everyone nodded seriously.
Lady Jin continued, the smile on her face was back, "Heaven has eyes. Han Cai, My grandson, has been accepted by the sect master of the Sky Soaring sect as his personal disciple. He has beco a core disciple of the sect. And the sect master dotes on him very much and treats him as his own son."
Everyone in the Han Family looked agape. Personal disciple of the sect master, no wonder the inner sect elder sent a letter. Sky soaring controlled half of the northern region of Yin country.
Han Dai's eyes twinkled as his son was chosen as a disciple of the sect master.
Han Dai was overwheld with pride and joy when he received the news that his son, Han Cai, had been chosen by the sect master of Sky Soaring Sect to be his personal disciple. As a father, he had always dread of seeing his son succeed in life, and this was a mont that he had been waiting for.
Han Dai had worked hard to establish a relationship with the mayor and gain his favor so Han Cai could enter the sect. He had done everything in his power to ensure that his son had the best possible chance of success, and seeing his hard work pay off in this way was a mont of imnse satisfaction for him.
As he sat down, Han Dai couldn't help but smile as he thought about his son's accomplishnt. He had always known that Han Cai was talented and hardworking, but to be chosen as the personal disciple of the sect master was an achievent that he could hardly have imagined.
Seeing Han Dai's cheerful chubby face, lady Jin smiled. He was her son, after all, and the one who got accepted was her grandson. No one was as happy as her.
One of the other family elders spoke, "Lady Jin. Isn't this very good news? We should celebrate and feed the whole town. Why are we trying to keep it a secret?"
Lady Jin spoke, "You do not understand the implications of it. Han Cai is now a personal disciple of the sect master. The sect master dotes on him a lot. It is also ntioned in the letter that Han Cai has a Heaven-defying talent in cultivation. What do you think enemies of the sky-soaring sect will do when they want to hurt the sect? They will try to hurt Han Cai as he is a disciple the sect master dotes on. If they are not able to hurt him, who will they hurt? Han Cai's family."
Hearing this, everyone in the family sweated.
Lady Jin spoke again, "But you don't have to worry about it for long. Caier, that filial child, when the sect master asked what he wanted, he requested that the sect should take care of his family. He was worried about his father and family. So sect master promised him he would take care of Caier's family."
All the elders nodded at one after other and whispered
"Good Child"
"Very Filial'
One of the elders spoke to Han Dai, "Daier, you have qilin of a Son."
Han Dai bowed happily. He was so happy that he might cry. His son really made it. His son is going to be immortal. He did not say it, but even after settling everything, he worried about how Han Cai would be treated in the sect.
Lady Jin Continued, "Reason the sect master agreed to take care of our family was that he is afraid Caier might lose his cultivation heart if anything happens to Caier's family. So the sect master asked all the elders of the sect for help. The sect elders decided to move our Han Family to Cloud mountain city. The sect will help us settle down, even take care of our residences and expenses, and also help us set up new trading channels and businesses in cloud mountain city. The mayor of Cloud Mountain city, Outer sect elders of Sky Soaring Sect, and Hong family mbers will be visiting our town soon. They left Cloud Mountain City a few months ago. They will stay here with us until all the Han Family mbers are safely moved to the cloud mountain city."
Everyone went into deep thought moving the whole family to a new city was a very big decision.
