Chapter 302: Shock

Although the Meng Mountain Five Friends were very surprised by Han Li's decision, they also felt that what Han Li said made some sense, so they didn't object.

It was just that the middle-aged woman seemed curious and asked about the true identities of the two Black Fiend Sect people, but she was met with a cold shoulder from Han Li. Han Li just smiled faintly and said that when they acted at night, everyone would naturally know.

This left the middle-aged woman with no choice but to stop asking, revealing an indifferent expression.

Soon, Qin Ping brought Qin Yan's message and took the Meng Mountain Five Friends to another courtyard nearby to settle them in.

When Han Li watched their figures walk away, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly muttered something to himself, but no one heard what it was.

After everyone had eaten dinner that night, the Meng Mountain Five Friends gathered together in the Qinyin Courtyard's living room, preparing to wait until the late night hours Han Li had mentioned before taking action.

"Strange! Why can't I remember!" The thirty-something-year-old youth, Fourth Brother, was pacing back and forth in the hall, his face full of confusion.

"Fourth Brother! Still haven't remembered?"

The youngest young woman was sitting lazily in a chair, revealing a half-smiling expression.

"Fourth Brother, you keep saying that Senior Han looks familiar, that you must have seen him somewhere before. But you can't remember when or where at all. This makes Little Sister not believe you. You aren't trying to climb up to Senior Han, are you, and having an illusion yourself!"

Clearly, the young woman's words were full of teasing.

"Hmm, that's very possible. After all, this senior's appearance is too ordinary; it's very normal for Fourth Brother to feel he looks familiar!" The tall, thin second brother also teased while tasting the fragrant tea.

However, his eyes never left the middle-aged woman beside him, constantly looking back and forth at her still-charming face and her abdomen, which looked normal, with a look of happiness.

But this middle-aged woman, who was third in rank, was annoyed by his looking and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him several times, but all she got was his silly smile. His usual shrewdness and depth had long been thrown to who knows where.

"Hmph, say whatever you want. I'm sure I've seen him, but it doesn't seem to be a recent thing; it should have been some years ago, otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten so thoroughly." The youth glared at the young woman and the tall, thin man, somewhat unwillingly.

"Some years ago? Fourth Brother, we have been bitterly cultivating in Meng Mountain for years and have never left the mountain. Then how could you have seen Senior Han? Don't tell me you saw him when you were still wearing split-crotch pants?" The middle-aged woman also joked with the youth.

"Third Sister, you..." The youth was flushed red and embarrassed by the middle-aged woman.

"Some years ago, Fourth Brother wasn't just bitterly cultivating in the mountains. Have you forgotten? Before we knew Fifth Sister, we participated in an Immortal Ascension Assembly, and we went on a long trip for two or three months. But unfortunately, we all returned in defeat, but fortunately, no one suffered any serious injuries!" The black-faced old man added a few words faintly.

"What, everyone participated in the Immortal Ascension Assembly!" Fifth Sister blinked, revealing a curious expression. The second brother and the middle-aged woman revealed bitter smiles.

"Nothing to say, that was the first time we few knew what it meant to be a frog in a well!" The middle-aged woman sighed and said.

"What's the matter! Fourth Brother, tell me about it, at that time... wait!"

The young woman's curiosity was even greater. She turned her head and wanted to ask the young man about the Immortal Ascension Assembly, but what met her eyes was a face full of shock.

"Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you?"

The others also noticed the youth's expression was wrong and asked in surprise.

"Second Brother, do you remember when we participated in the Immortal Ascension Assembly and separated from Big Brother and Third Sister, I was greedy for a moment and went to a restaurant in Jiayuan City to steal food and drink?" The youth didn't answer the other party's confusion but suddenly brought up old matters, which made the tall, thin man somewhat confused.

"Of course I remember. Although I helped you cover it up at the time, Big Brother still scolded you severely afterward!" The second brother answered somewhat puzzled.

"That's right. When I came back, didn't I tell you that I met a small cultivator who also seemed to be participating in the Immortal Ascension Assembly at the restaurant? His cultivation technique was only at the seventh or eighth layer of Qi Condensation. We even thought this person was overestimating his own abilities." The youth said with a bitter laugh.

"It's been too long, I don't remember clearly, but there should have been such a thing!" The second brother said hesitantly.

He truly didn't know why this Fourth Brother suddenly brought this up.

The other few were also listening to the conversation between the two, feeling extremely strange.

"But that small cultivator from back then is today's Senior Han!" The youth said dryly, a sentence that left everyone in the room stunned.

"What, Senior Han was that small cultivator with low cultivation?" The tall, thin man stood up from his chair, his face full of disbelief.

"What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail!" After the shock, the black-faced old man frowned and asked.

"It's like this, Big Brother!" The tall, thin man hurriedly gave a rough account of what happened back then, which left the others feeling it was incredible.

"Fourth Brother said, Senior Han was only a seventh or eighth layer Qi Condensation cultivator back then?" The young woman swallowed, saying, then realized her behavior was unrefined and blushed.

But the others were all in shock, and no one noticed her small action.

"Fourth Brother couldn't have recognized the wrong person, could he? After all, that was over ten years ago; Senior Han's appearance and age should be different!" The black-faced old man touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"No, that person is definitely Senior Han! His appearance is exactly the same as back then, except his age looks a little bit older!" The youth was startled first, but after thinking about it, he said affirmatively.

Hearing the youth speak so decisively, the others looked at each other.

In just over ten years, a cultivator with such low cultivation had become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. This made the hearts of the few feel bitter.

For a time, no one had the heart to speak anymore.

"Alright, regardless of whether Senior Han is that person from back then, now he is a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator, and we still can't lose any etiquette. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, understand?" The old man pondered for a while before speaking first.

"I understand." The youth hesitated before answering honestly, his expression finally returning to normal.

"Alright, everyone go back to your rooms to cultivate and rest! Prepare yourselves; I don't know what kind of fierce battle there will be tonight?" The old man said to the crowd.

Hearing this, the others looked at each other and went back to their rooms one by one.

Instantly, the Qinyin Courtyard became silent.

About half an hour later, the sky turned completely dark.

In a room in the Qinyin Courtyard, a person suddenly walked out.

This person carefully left the door ajar and looked around before walking out of the small courtyard silently.

Taking advantage of the pitch-black night, he walked to a corner of the wall further away. A look of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but it immediately became determined.

He nervously pulled a small box from his robes and was just about to open it.

Suddenly, a sigh came from behind him, which made this person's body tremble, almost scaring him into throwing the box in his hand to the ground. Because the voice sounded exactly like Han Li's.

"Why do you want to do this?" Another voice, which he knew incomparably well, came almost at the same time, filled with grief.

Then, the area lit up, and several people holding moonstones walked out from nearby. Under the faint white light, they were all filled with disbelief.

"Why are you doing this?" The black-faced old man asked with great pain.

"What why? I just came out to test a magic tool!" This person's expression recovered from its original paleness, and he said as if nothing had happened.

"Then can you hand over the thing in your hand for me to see!" From the pitch-black night, Han Li descended lightly from the air and said with his usual expression.

"Strange, how could my magic tool be shown to outsiders! Of course not, right Fourth Brother!"

This person who was sneaking around was actually the young woman among the Meng Mountain Five Friends.

At this time, although she was trying hard to maintain a normal expression, her hands were uncontrollably clutching the small box tightly, looking like she wouldn't let go for anything.

"Fifth Sister, hand over the thing in your hand to Senior Han!" The black-faced old man said with a gloomy face, his voice full of coldness.
