Chapter 290: The Xiao Family

~10 min read 1,822 words

This handsome little prince naturally didn't know what Han Li was thinking at this time, but was chatting with several Qin family disciples he knew well in a gentle and polite manner, making the faces of two of the young ladies flush red, looking like their hearts were fluttering. Net

Han Li saw this and sneered inwardly.

This little prince had big problems, and if these Qin family women really threw themselves into his arms, they definitely wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.

Even if they were swallowed skin and bones by this little prince, Han Li wouldn't feel it was strange at all!

After a while, Prince Xin apologized to Qin Yan and the others and took the little prince to socialize at the next table. This made the few Qin family disciples who were chatting happily with the little prince and the grandson and granddaughter of the Hua-surnamed old man somewhat disappointed.

And Han Li took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention and stared at the little prince's back, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

The banquet finally ended after more than an hour.

The satisfied guests started to say goodbye to Prince Xin and his son.

Qin Yan also took Han Li and others, saying goodbye among them, and went straight out of the Prince Xin Mansion's main gate.

But just as Old Master Qin wanted to get into the carriage Han Li had come in, Han Li suddenly asked a question that made Qin Yan stunned.

"Uncle Qin, who are those two people? Can you tell me about them!"

Although Han Li spoke politely, Old Master Qin didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly turned his head to look, and said in his mouth:

"Which two people is Nephew Han talking about? Hey, isn't this the old master of the Xiao family! He is the owner of the famous Xianyun Restaurant in the Yue capital, and he is very low-key. Qin and he are not very familiar. As for the young man beside him, he looks very strange, he should be one of his grandsons!"

Qin Yan saw the old and young pair Han Li was staring at, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, not knowing why Han Li was interested in these two people.

"Oh, I see! Uncle Qin, you go first! I'll walk for a while and return to the residence late." Han Li nodded thoughtfully and said casually.

Then, without waiting for Qin Yan to say anything, he bypassed the high mansion wall of the Prince Xin Mansion and walked toward a small path.

Qin Yan looked at Han Li's back somewhat blankly, then looked at the old master of the Xiao family in the distance who was looking toward this side with dodging eyes, and felt somewhat confused in his heart.

But after thinking for a while, he decisively got into the carriage and ordered the trusted driver to drive away.

Thus, the Qin family's carriages left the front gate of the Prince Xin Mansion and rushed toward the Qin residence in the Eastern District.

And those few young masters and young ladies of the Qin family didn't notice Han Li's disappearance at all and were still discussing what they saw and heard in the Prince Xin Mansion in the last two carriages.

They were extremely excited! They felt that although they didn't form an immortal fate, this was definitely capital to show off to other companions when they returned.

And at this time, Han Li walked for about the time of a cup of tea and finally followed the high mansion wall of the Prince Xin Mansion to the back door of the mansion.

At this time, the high back door was tightly closed, and there was no one around.

Han Li smiled, feeling it was just right, saving him from using any spells to hide his tracks.

He stood grandly at the back door, looking up at the sky out of boredom.

After a while, Han Li was somewhat lost in thought, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, Han Li felt someone walking over timidly from afar, so he lowered his head and glanced coldly.

Only then did the old master of the Xiao family and the male-disguised girl walk around from the other side of the mansion. Seeing Han Li, the old man's body paused, revealing a hesitant expression, while the girl had a curious expression, without any fear at all.

The old man perhaps thought through something, immediately calmed down, took big steps over, and the girl followed behind.

"Junior Xiao Zhen, thank you, Senior, for showing mercy in the Prince's Mansion! If there is any offense, Junior is willing to apologize to Senior."

After walking to Han Li, this old master of the Xiao family still couldn't see Han Li's cultivation level, and in shock, he was even more in awe of Han Li, so he took the lead to salute before speaking, respectfully apologizing.

Han Li's expression didn't change as he accepted this salute from the other party, then said lightly:

"You don't cultivate in a place with abundant spiritual energy, why do you appear in the Yue capital? Could it be that you are attached to the glory and wealth of the mortal world and don't want to cultivate anymore?"

Han Li didn't care about anything and first put a big hat on the old man, so that he could easily suppress the other party in momentum, making the following things easier to handle.

"Senior misunderstood. Junior is because my age is too old, and Foundation Establishment is basically hopeless, so I was assigned by the family to be responsible for the worldly financial resources. It's not that I am staying in the mortal world without returning." The green-robed old man heard Han Li's words, but his heart relaxed, and he answered with a somewhat calm expression.

"Which family's disciple are you?" Han Li didn't let go easily and asked again.

Han Li naturally had to figure out the background of these two people. If they were from some famous big cultivation families, Han Li wouldn't want to provoke them easily. However, the Xiao surname didn't seem to have any very famous big cultivation families!

Hearing this question, the old man hesitated for a while, looked back at the girl beside him, and answered honestly:

"Junior is from the Xiao family of Fenghejian in Yunzhou!"

"Fenghejian Xiao family?" Han Li frowned and thought for a while, confirming that he definitely hadn't heard this name.

"Senior doesn't need to think more, the Xiao family where Junior is is just a small family, it's normal that Senior hasn't heard of it." The green-robed old man's face darkened, and he said self-deprecatingly.

Han Li heard this and was somewhat surprised, looked at the old master of the Xiao family a few times, and then said slowly with an unchanging expression:

"You speak so readily, aren't you afraid that I will lose my scruples and immediately turn against you and kill you two?"

When Han Li said this, the old man didn't do anything. But the girl was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately tightening her expression and hurriedly reaching a hand to her waist, where it was bulging; there was no need to ask, it must be hiding a storage bag.

But afterward, the girl saw that her grandfather and Han Li didn't really want to make a move, so she blushed and withdrew her hand, and didn't know where to put it, looking extremely cute!

The old man saw this, looked at the girl with extreme love, and then smiled bitterly and turned back to say to Han Li:

"Although I can't see the cultivation level of the Senior, I am still very clear that you are definitely a Senior after Foundation Establishment."

"Junior doesn't believe that there are any magic tools, pills, or other treasures on me that can be coveted by a cultivator like Senior whose cultivation technique is complete."

"If Senior is really this kind of person, Junior has nothing to say. With my little cultivation and magic power, even if I want to run or resist, it will be of no use, so it's better to let Senior have his way, so as not to anger the whole family! Junior just wants to ask Senior to show mercy and let my granddaughter go; she is Junior's only bone and blood."

The old man's last few words were extremely desolate, making the girl hear it and be extremely angry, hurriedly saying repeatedly:

"Grandfather, don't be afraid! If he really wants to make a move on us, we will fight him, I won't be afraid of him!"

Han Li heard the words of the old master of the Xiao family and the girl, and was stunned at first, but then looked at the two of them carefully, and his heart was both angry and amused.

Don't look at this old master's tragic and sacrificial appearance, but Han Li didn't see the slightest intention of seeking death in his eyes. Even the spiritual power fluctuation he released was in a state of readiness, not looking like he was ready to be captured at all!

Clearly, he was planning that if he really wanted to kill and seize treasures, he would immediately fight to the death.

And that girl was even more interesting.

Although her words were angry, a pair of black-as-gemstone eyeballs turned around non-stop when Han Li wasn't paying attention, occasionally revealing a few cunning looks.

But what this little girl didn't know was that Han Li, who had practiced the first layer of "Great Expansion Technique," had a spiritual sense far stronger than ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, and all these little actions of hers fell into Han Li's grasp.

Han Li thought secretly:

"I'm afraid that the 'Fenghejian Xiao family' they mentioned was also said casually! Whether this family exists, he is deeply skeptical!"

Thus, a smiling expression appeared on Han Li's face, and he stared at the two of them without saying a word.

He didn't say the two could leave, nor did he immediately turn against them and want to make a move, actually leaving this old and young pair there for a while.

At first, the old master and the girl could still maintain a tragic expression.

But as time passed bit by bit, and Han Li's lazy expression and indifferent gaze, the old master of the Xiao family and the girl finally looked at each other.

"You are a Senior, what exactly do you intend to do?" The girl finally couldn't hold it anymore. She ignored the old man's eye restraint, jumped in front of Han Li, put one hand on her waist and pointed at Han Li, asking loudly, her face full of grievance.
