Chapter 199

He chatted casually in the society for a moment, and Su Han was soon startled by a knock at the door.

Su Han walked to the door, opened it, and saw Lei Mu standing outside.

Seeing Su Han appear, Lei Mu's eyes flickered with a hint of delight, but she suppressed her emotions well.

She gently lifted the hem of her dress and bowed slightly to Su Han.

"Master, welcome back!"

Su Han smiled and reached out to ruffle Lei Mu's hair.

"Mm, I'm back."

As Su Han led Lei Mu into his room, he asked casually, "Did anything happen while I was away?"

"Mm! There was indeed something."

Hearing Su Han ask about the matter, Lei Mu's expression turned serious at once. After hesitating, she whispered, "Yesterday, Han Li Zong Shi came to Zhaoshang Sect."

"Mm."

Su Han's smile faded. He glanced at Lei Mu thoughtfully. "And then? Didn't you send him away?"

"I originally planned to send him away."

Lei Mu clenched her Yaguan. Her eyes revealed faint anger, resentment, and a touch of shame.

"But I didn't expect him to bring another extremely powerful human… that human, 460—I wasn't a match."

So I couldn't drive them away.

It was Su Han's own order that Han Li must not disturb him.

Yet now, she had failed to stop Han Li.

That meant she had betrayed Su Han's trust in her.

This made Lei Mu feel utterly wretched.

"Don't worry too much. I already said before! If Han Li comes to Zhaoshang Sect, hold him off. But if someone stronger comes with him, and you can't stop them, it's no big deal."

Su Han's Observation Haki heard Lei Mu's thoughts and comforted her.

Yet thoughts flickered in his mind.

Lei Mu's strength was immense. After consuming the Mera Mera no Mi, her combat power was unquestionably at the peak of Zong Shi level.

If she had no confidence in defeating him, that meant… a Da Sect? "I misunderstood!"

At this moment, Su Han understood: "The power I displayed was undeniably Da Sect level. If they want to recruit me, they must send someone of equal rank."

Only someone of equal rank can engage in equal dialogue.

And the arrival of a Da Sect proves the sincerity of the Huaxia side.

After a moment of thought, Su Han asked, "What happened after that?"

Hearing this, Lei Mu hesitated, glancing at Su Han, then whispered, "I told that human warrior…"

"The Master is currently away."

"That fellow, though extremely powerful, has a good temper."

"He said he's been in Jianghai City these days."

"He'll come to visit the Master every day."

"A modern-day Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage."

Su Han pondered.

Then he chuckled.

But even if he came ten times, it wouldn't matter—Su Han had no intention of serving.

He spent his days lying in his room, chilling in Shuishuigong Society, chatting.

He couldn't be more relaxed.

Why would he go out and seek trouble himself? It might seem Su Han had no ambition, but his strength was immense.

So if others knew his situation, they wouldn't call him aimless—they'd call him a reclusive master.

"According to yesterday's arrangement, they should arrive in a little over two hours!"

Lei Mu whispered.

Su Han nodded. "Then come get me later."

Time flew by.

Su Han was chilling in the society, occasionally glancing at Bai Hu Zi's photos.

These… photos showed Bai Hu Zi's sons manning the aircraft carrier, yet somehow ending up in bizarre accidents—either shutting down the nuclear engine, accidentally smashing the compass, or once even blowing up a reactor.

Su Han thought these… photos could be published.

The book's title could be: *Illustrated Examples of Aircraft Carrier Mismanagement*.

Truly, the problems exposed by Bai Hu Zi's fleet in operating aircraft carriers left Marquis Wo Ban stunned.

All sorts of strange, bizarre problems emerged.

Problems that could happen, problems that couldn't possibly happen—all appeared.

Just then,

Han Li Zong Shi arrived with the powerful warrior who had made Lei Mu wary.

In Su Han's parlor,

Han Li Zong Shi wiped the sweat from his brow, offering a bright smile to Lei Mu, who stood before him, staring sternly.

But Lei Mu remained unmoved.
