Chapter 965 - Secret
Chapter 965: Secret
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 seemed 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 me 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 me?”
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. Come 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 time 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 immediately. 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 some reason, he felt that something 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 me, those people in the Thousand Star City may not target you.”
Han Fei grasped something keenly. He frowned and said, “Showing fangs? What do you mean?”
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 means that you’ve got the opportunity to become a king, so they won’t just let you develop and grow stronger. Just imagine, if you become a king, what will happen?”
Han Fei frowned. Becoming king? I’m going to become the Ninth Heavenly Lord, and the entire 8 million kilometers 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 became a king...
These big clans would worry that if he became their masters, he could take revenge on them, deprive them of their rights, and contain them.
If he were a member of these big clans, he would probably have had the same 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 men to kill me at any time?”
Han Guanshu shook his head slightly. “With me, they dare not do that for the time being. Even if a Venerable comes to kill you in person, I will discover it. However, this is only before you become an Explorer.”
Han Fei grinned. “Then how will they deal with me?”
Han Guanshu said, “They will give you certain privileges.”
Han Fei: “???”
Han Fei was surprised. “What do you mean?”
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 become 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 time, 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 become an Explorer?”
Han Guanshu shook his head. “Don’t make the breakthrough to become 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 become the target of the public in this territory, so you can’t hide it from their eyes. At that time, 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. “Shameless.”
Han Guanshu glanced at Tang Ge and said, “Tang Ge, since they know that you’re my foster son, they won’t let you become 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 member 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 immediately 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 me for a while.”
Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to see Han Fei often now, Tang Ge decided to find a way to become 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 something 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 something, 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 me?”
Han Fei glanced at him. “Will you answer any questions I ask?”
Then he said, “Since you said that I shouldn’t become an Explorer here, do you mean 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 mean 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 me, 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 me?”
Han Guanshu was puzzled for a moment. “Oh! It seems you haven’t seen the whole picture...”
“What do you mean?”
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 mentality.”
Han Fei looked at Old Han speechlessly. “Don’t hold me in suspense, OK? You might as well tell me now.”
Han Guanshu shook his head. “Not now.”
Han Fei was discouraged. “Then can you at least tell me who she was?”
This time, Han Guanshu was surprised. “You don’t know who she was?”
Han Fei was dumbfounded. Why give me this look? Am I supposed to know who she was?
Han Guanshu said, “Whatever, I can’t tell you now. Okay, let me tell you another thing. Something 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 mean? 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...”
