Chapter 331: Old Place

Once Han Li's words were out, he felt a bit of regret.

He had clearly made up his mind long ago not to get entangled with this woman, yet now he had inexplicably agreed to her. It seemed his mental fortitude was still lacking!

Thinking this, Han Li shook his head secretly, but replied:

"Fine, then Senior Sister, let's take my Divine Wind Boat; that way we can go and return quickly!"

After Han Li finished speaking, he released the snow-white Divine Wind Boat and invited Chen Chen Qiaoqian to board.

Chen Chen Qiaoqian smiled beautifully and boarded the boat without ceremony.

Thus, Han Li took Chen Chen Qiaoqian and flew away, arriving at the White Chrysanthemum Mountain, which had quite a reputation in Yuejing, after a while.

The mountain was covered in all kinds of chrysanthemums, mostly white, and the scenery was indeed incomparably charming.

Much to Han Li's surprise, after arriving at the mountain, Chen Chen Qiaoqian didn't say anything to him, just walking up the mountain along the small path on her own, occasionally stopping to stay a while longer when she encountered scenery she particularly liked.

Han Li, following behind, also didn't speak, but looking at her moving figure, he felt a bit dazed, looking completely unromantic.

An hour later, Chen Chen Qiaoqian climbed to the top of the mountain and stood in a small pavilion, looking around. Han Li stood to one side.

At this time, apart from the two of them, there wasn't a single tourist on the mountaintop, and with neither of them willing to speak first, it was extremely quiet.

It was unknown how long this subtle atmosphere was maintained, but finally, a faint sentence came from Chen Chen Qiaoqian.

"Junior Brother Han, after the great battle ends, I'm afraid I'll be getting married!"

Hearing this, Han Li was startled and couldn't help but turn his head, showing a look of surprise.

"The other party is a direct descendant of the Qin family, another great cultivation clan, and is a disciple of the Heavenly Que Castle. He is also a cultivator who just reached Foundation Establishment not long ago! I've met him a few times, and he seems like a decent person. If there are no accidents, he will marry into our Chen family and become my cultivation partner from then on." Chen Chen Qiaoqian ignored Han Li's look of surprise and said indifferently, not fast or slow.

At this moment, Han Li's look of surprise gradually faded. He hesitated for a moment and said politely:

"Then congratulations to Senior Sister Chen on your happy union! Later, Junior Brother will definitely prepare a..."

Han Li only said the beginning, but clearly, this was not what the other party wanted to hear. She trembled, and without waiting for Han Li to finish, she turned cold, raised her hand, and threw out a disk-shaped magic treasure. She flew away on it on her own, as if there was nothing left to be nostalgic about.

Looking at the direction where Chen Chen Qiaoqian disappeared, Han Li stood motionless with a cold expression. After a long while, he let out a long breath and flew away listlessly.

Although he had made up his mind long ago, seeing a woman who had feelings for him become someone else's wife, Han Li still felt a sense of loss.

Perhaps this was a common ailment of all men! Although they were called cultivators, they were the same as mortals in terms of emotions.

Han Li thought to himself with self-mockery while flying back to the Qin Mansion.

But as soon as he returned to his residence, he learned from others that Chen Chen Qiaoqian had already left, taking a step ahead.

Hearing this, Han Li felt bitter in his heart. It seemed Chen Chen Qiaoqian was truly disappointed in him and was prepared to marry someone else with peace of mind.

Although somewhat melancholy, Han Li was not an ordinary person after all, so he just nodded as usual and spent half a day chatting and laughing with others.

Just like that, early the next morning, the others left the Qin Mansion one after another, and Han Li was the last to leave.

Only before setting off, he secretly took a look at Mo Mo Fengwu. After all, they had known each other, and he intended to say goodbye.

But when he truly saw Mo Mo Fengwu through the window in the air outside the pavilion, Han Li changed his mind about meeting her before leaving.

Because Mo Mo Fengwu, dressed as a young woman, was accompanying an old woman in her fifties inside the building, reading scriptures, her face full of peace and tranquility.

Han Li watched silently for a while, and in the end, he didn't disturb her, turning and leaving quietly.

For this woman, perhaps not seeing her would be better!

It would save her from recalling those painful things; perhaps this peaceful and uncontested life was what she longed for most! Han Li thought with some melancholy.

Han Li left Yuejing, took a slight detour, and went to Jiayuan City first. Regardless, since he had promised to help the Mo Mansion avenge themselves, he had to go and take a look anyway.

Now, although there were no demonic path people to stir up trouble, the great battle was imminent, and he estimated there wouldn't be any high-level cultivators stationed in the city. He only needed to kill the master of the Five Elements Sect without anyone knowing, and even if the Spirit Beast Mountain people were angry, they would never find it on his head.

However, besides wanting to trouble the Five Elements Sect, he also wanted to see how Sun Ergou had managed the Four Flat Gang. He estimated that over these years, with the assistance of Qu Hun, he should have achieved something.

And this backup plan he had left behind years ago now seemed to be of no use.

With this plan in mind, Han Li sat on the Divine Wind Boat and headed straight for Jiayuan City.

Speaking of which, the last time he came to Jiayuan City was more than ten years ago, but many things were still vivid in his mind and left a deep impression.

Five days later, a young man in a green shirt arrived in front of the "Xiang Family Restaurant," an old-established restaurant in Jiayuan City.

This person stood on the street in front of the restaurant, squinting at the restaurant's signboard, his expression quite strange; it was Han Li, who had just entered the city.

Han Li stood there, sighing with emotion, before lifting his legs and walking in unhurriedly.

It was a coincidence that as soon as he went to the second floor, he saw the table by the window where he had sat that day, and it was actually empty.

Han Li was overjoyed and walked over without hesitation.

As soon as he sat down, the waiter of the restaurant came up diligently to wipe the table and asked Han Li what wine and dishes he wanted.

Han Li smiled slightly, ordered a few delicious side dishes at random, and let the waiter go down. He didn't come here just to satisfy his appetite.

Thinking of this, Han Li's gaze looked out the window.

The giant mansion of the Mo Mansion from that day still existed, and there were still some burly men standing in front of the gate. However, the giant plaque on the gate was no longer "Mo Mansion" but had become the two golden characters "Li Mansion."

Han Li looked at the "Li Mansion" plaque shining in the sun, and his eyebrows wrinkled unintentionally.

As far as he knew, the master of the Five Elements Sect seemed to be surnamed "Li." It seemed they had directly taken over the nest.

For some reason, Han Li looked at the two characters "Li Mansion" on the plaque and felt they were particularly eyesore, as if the old Mo Mansion signboard was more pleasing to his eyes.

Just as Han Li was thinking, the waiter brought the wine and dishes quickly. And just then, a burst of laughter came from downstairs, and then several young men walked up from the stairs, all dressed in brocade and silk, looking like noble young masters, followed by several burly servants.

These young masters glanced around the second floor, and one of them, who looked so thin that a gust of wind could blow him away, beckoned to the waiter unceremoniously.

The waiter immediately ran over diligently and said with a fawning smile:

"Young Master Xia, what are your orders?"

"Call your manager here. Today we are treating a distinguished guest to wine. Tell the irrelevant people on the third floor to leave quickly; we will cover any losses." This person looked so thin, but his tone was quite big.

But the waiter didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, nodding repeatedly and busily going to notify the manager.

A moment later, a man in his forties came upstairs.

Upon seeing these people, he accompanied them with a smile and immediately agreed to their request, then took the waiter to apologize to the third floor.

It was unknown whether this manager was shrewd and capable, or if the reputations of these young masters were truly not small.

Before long, some guests who were eating on the third floor left one after another, and not a single one dared to show any resentment.

Seeing this, Han Li just looked at them lazily for a few times, then continued to cast his gaze toward the street outside the window.

They were just some young masters among mortals. In the mortal world, people who relied on their family's power to be arrogant and domineering were everywhere. Han Li had no intention of paying attention to them.

At this moment, the young men led by Young Master Xia nodded with satisfaction, and then went downstairs to pick up someone.

After a while, footsteps sounded from downstairs again, and this time Han Li was slightly startled, couldn't help but turn his head to look back a few times.

Because, among those heavy footsteps, there was clearly one that was light, as if it were there or not. This was clearly a person from the Jianghu, who could only have such a performance after their light-body technique had reached a certain level of proficiency.

This made Han Li a bit curious.
