Chapter 1609: The Relationship Between Han Que and Han Zichen

Xiao Feng and the others arrived at Xuan Yuan City; just after stepping out of the teleportation array, they saw a familiar figure waiting there.

He wore a swordsman's robe and carried an ancient longsword, looking like an ancient swordsman.

Besides him were a few friends, all from the Blue Star No. 1 War Zone.

Xiao Feng stepped forward and laughed loudly: "Old Shen, hey, congratulations on leaving the hospital."

Hearing this, Shen Chuo's old face darkened: "This joke is getting old, right?"

"There's nothing like that; it's just been years since we last saw each other, so I'm offering congratulations in person." Xiao Feng said with a sincere expression.

"I'm really impressed with you; I hope your planet also has a strong expert who can find time to give you a beating." Shen Chuo said glumly.

"I've already been beaten." Xiao Feng chuckled, but did not explain the specific reason.

The people who came with Shen Chuo were also familiar faces, all having been seen before in the Primeval World. Xing Yun Miao and the others had also participated, so there was no need to reintroduce themselves.

Only He Xianzi was special; besides being beautiful, her name information carried the suffix "Xiao Feng's mount," making everyone exchange odd looks.

A player named "Sao hai shi ni sao" gave a hehe laugh and said: "The great god's mount is indeed unique; look at the name on my head—these are the words I want to say to you."

Xiao Feng: ……

He Xianzi was thick-skinned and didn't think there was any problem.

But after receiving a hint from Xiao Feng's gaze, she quickly obediently turned into a small immortal crane—a miniature white crane only 30 centimeters tall—that landed on Xiao Feng's shoulder.

Everyone seeing this miraculous mount felt it was quite interesting.

At that moment, another acquaintance arrived.

Xu DanYang, He YuRuo and other Primeval World competitors from the Nine Provinces War Zone teleported here; seeing Xiao Feng and the others, they immediately ran over.

"Brother Xiao Feng, Brother Shen, everyone, have you all been well?"

"Haha, this time everyone is green-named, so there's no need to compete with each other—how relaxing!"

"Come on, Zichen is already waiting for us at the tavern; let's go straight there."

Xu DanYang and the others greeted them and led Xiao Feng's group to the agreed meeting place.

Nobody used flight ability; they walked on the ground.

The main street of Xuan Yuan City is long, but the Seek Immortal Tavern is nearby—less than five minutes away.

It is a grand and imposing high-end tavern with the aura of heavenly palaces; its decoration resembles a divine abode, the floor paved directly with white jade, and the walls adorned with exquisite carvings of wandering dragons.

Even the waitstaff inside are players over level 400, wearing specially made ancient-style attire as they serve tea and water.

Xu DanYang led the crowd straight to the top floor of the tavern.

The top floor is an open-air space, very spacious, resembling a garden with artificial hills and ponds, completely unlike being inside a building.

The garden was set with many tables and chairs; food and drinks were being brought out successively, and quite a few people had arrived early, moving about and chatting.

"Brother Xiao Feng! Brother Shen Chuo!"

Han Zichen's voice came from beside them.

This female sword immortal today dressed casually, wearing no sword, a white shirt with an outer layer of purple gauze, her bearing graceful.

Accompanying her was Xue Ningzhen; both come from the Nine Provinces, though one is the Nine Provinces in the game and the other the real-world Nine Provinces.

Although their locations differ, their world cultures are actually the same—both are worlds opened up by the ancestors of human civilization, influenced by strong figures such as Fu Xi, Da Yi, Xuan Yuan, Chi You, and Da Yu, sharing the same origin and lineage.

"It's been years since we last met; everyone's strength has increased a lot, and their levels are all higher than mine."

Xiao Feng said with a smile.

Among those present, his level belongs to the medium-low tier.

Shen Chuo is level 545, ranking first, and Xue Ningzhen is also level 542.

Jiang Ning, Han Zichen and the others are mostly around level 540, with very few below level 530.

"You stay still and it's fine, but once you move you shake the heavens. I don't think it'll be long before you climb to the top again." Shen Chuo said, paying close attention to Xiao Feng, knowing he had not leveled up for two years, which caused his drop.

"Yeah, in the Nine Provinces for over a year, nobody paid attention to me; I thought Brother Dao must have encountered something." Xue Ningzhen also said.

The people chatted a few sentences and became acquainted.

Although most of the people here have been to the Primeval World, back then they all saw each other as red-named, so opportunities to communicate were actually few.

This time everyone is allies, positions differ, there is no conflict of interest, so we can sit down and chat calmly.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Feng then asked Han Zichen: "Brother Han, what was it you wanted to tell me earlier?"

Han Zichen pursed her lips and smiled, bowed slightly, and said: "I want to thank you in person. Thank you, Brother Xiao Feng, for rescuing my clan's ancestor; Han Que the Old Ancestor has returned, giving my clan a powerful protector and sparing us much trouble."

"Um……"

Xiao Feng froze; the others were also surprised, not knowing what had happened.

Xiao Feng felt a bit dazed; he never expected that Han Que and Han Zichen would have such a relationship!

Although they share the same surname, the human population is huge, with many people surnamed Han. In the vast sea of humanity, for two random people to meet and turn out to be ancestor and descendant—what a coincidence!

Originally he had wanted to let Han Que seek Han Zichen's thigh to cling to.

He never expected that Han Que himself would be that thigh!

Han Que possesses the strength of an Intermediate Chief God, which is the God Transformation stage.

Bringing that strength back to the real world would indeed be quite formidable!

However, Xiao Feng then thought of another problem!

He asked: "How many generations ago is he your ancestor?"

The Storm Chief God lived for over ten thousand years in the game; if that were ten thousand years in the real world, he could no longer be called an "Old Ancestor" but an "Ancient Ancestor"!

So this time period is definitely problematic.

Han Zichen said: "Han Que the Old Ancestor is my great-grandfather generation's uncle; although he left no descendants, tracing the roots shows he is direct line. Our family had already become ordinary commoners by my father's generation; although I have achieved some minor accomplishments in the myriad heavens, in the Nine Provinces world cultivation is what matters most—without cultivation, being bullied is common. Only recently did the great-grandfather return, and our small family's life has improved somewhat."

As she spoke, her tone was full of emotion.

Xiao Feng had heard before that in the real world, the Nine Provinces' strong experts are as numerous as clouds, but those who come to play the game are few, almost all commoners.

True masters don't care about such virtual world things; they constantly pursue their own cultivation.

Therefore, the achievements of Han Zichen and others in the game only have some deterrent power over ordinary people; before true cultivation experts, they are utterly insignificant.

They might even be targeted and threatened because of their weakness in the real world.

"Han... uh, your great ancestor, has he come into the game? If there's a chance, I'd like to meet him and have a couple of drinks." Xiao Feng inquired.

I originally wanted to call him "Han Brother", but after thinking, calling him that would make Han Zichen's generation seem especially low, as if taking advantage, so I changed it.

Han Zichen shook his head and said: "After our great ancestor settled our family affairs, he was taken away by a blue-robed expert, who said he was going into seclusion to cultivate for a period; I also don't know when he'll return."

"A blue-robed expert? Could it be..."

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be startled, and the two characters "Xi Ancestor" popped into his mind.

Just then, a cry of alarm came from nearby.

"Feng Feng Shi has arrived!"
