Chapter 354: Han Xue!

  “Father, there’s a long story behind all this. I’ll expihing wheurn!”

  “Oh, by the way, I haven’t introduced you yet. This is my senior sister, Zi Yan.”

  “Senior sister Zi Yan, this is my father. Over there is my sed uncle, and that person is…”

  Han Yue smiled as she introduced Zi Yan to each member of her family.

  “Hello, everyone!”

  After Han Yue fihe introdus, Zi Yan waved her hand towards the Han family with a bright smile, showing a row of pearly white teeth.

  Although Zi Yan’s way of greeting seemed rather casual, which could be perceived as disrespectful by more particur individuals, Han Yue was quite satisfied with her behavior. At the very least, Zi Yan wasn’t calling them “old geezers” like she did with the elders at the academy.

  Upon hearing Zi Yan’s youthful voice, both Han Yue’s father and her sed uncle were somewhat surprised, but their faces were filled with smiles.

  Zi Yan’s cultivation level was somewhat cealed, but the family members could still sehe powerful force hidden within her.

  “Haha, since Miss Zi Yan is Yue’er’s senior sister, please feel at home here, just as if it were your own!” Han Yue’s father said kindly after Zi Yaed them.

  “Thank you!” Zi Yan politely nodded in response.

  “Father, I’ll take senior sister to go ahead first. We’ll talk more ter!” Han Yue said cheerfully to the man in the brocade robe before the purple magic eagle to desd.

  ...

  “Sister, you’re back!”

  Just as they nded in a spacious courtyard, a crisp voice echoed from the entrance.

  Hearing this familiar voice, a joyful expression immediately appeared on Han Yue’s face.

  When she looked toward the entrance, she saw a graceful young girl quickly running toward her.

  The girl, aroueen years old, had eyebrows as delicate as willow leaves and skin as fair as snow. She was tall, wearing a purple dress that atuated her curvy figure. Even at such a young age, she already showed the elegance of a blossomiy.

  “Sister, Xue’er missed you so much!”

  Despite being curious about the enormous purple magic eagle, the girl in the purple dress first rushed to embrace Han Yue.

  “Xue’er, you little rascal, you’ve grown into such a beauty in just a few years!” Han Yue said affeately, her eyes filled with a doting expression.

  “Ah, no way! Xue’er isn’t half as beautiful as you, sister!”

  Hearing Han Yue’s words, Han Xue’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she shyly responded.

  However, after saying that, Haiced the little girl in white standing beside Han Yue. She had seen this little girl dismount the purple magic eagle with her sister, so she curiously asked, “Sister, who is this little girl? She’s so cute and pretty!”

  Upon hearing Han Xue’s words, the smile on Han Yue’s face suddenly froze. She then seriously introduced, “Xue’er, don’t be rude. This is my senior sister! You should address her as Sister Zi Yan!”

  “Ah!”

  Hearing Han Yue’s suddenly stern tone, Han Xue, who was familiar with her sister’s temperament, uzzled but quickly felt like a child who had made a mistake. She hurriedly apologized to Zi Yan, saying, “Sister Zi Yan… I’m so sorry for earlier…”

  Back at Jia Nan Academy, Zi Yan would have been furious whenever someone called her “little girl” or simir terms. But today, when Han Xue said it, Zi Yan didn’t feel any anger; in fact, she eve someleased.

  Before Han Xue could finish her apology, Zi Yan interrupted her with her childish voice.

  "Hehe, do you really mean it? Am I truly both pretty and cute?"

  Hearing Zi Yan's tone, both Han Yue and Han Xue immediately felt relieved.

  "Of course it’s true, Sister Zi Yan!" Han Xue smiled sweetly, calling out to Zi Yan.

  "Hehe, I like hearing what you say, little sister Xue’er. Sihis is our first time meeting, I’ll give you a gift!" Zi Yan chuckled again, then pulled out a white jade bottle from her ste ring and ha to Han Xue.

  "Xue’er, Senior Sister Zi Yan is giving you something. Why aren't you saying thank you?" Han Yue reminded her, notig Han Xue’s hesitation.

  Upon hearing Han Yue’s words, Han Xue no longer hesitated. She reached out, took the white jade bottle from Zi Yan, and said happily, "Thank you, Sister Zi Yan!"

  "You're wele! Hurry up and take a look inside!" Zi Yan waved her hand casually.

  inally, out of politeness, Han Xue wasn’t pnning to check the gift right then, but since Zi Yan had suggested it, she didn’t hold back. She immediately opehe jade bottle.

  As soon as it ened, a rich fragranedial herbs filled the air, intoxig Hah its aroma.

  "Sister Zi Yan, what kind of pill is this?" Han Xue asked excitedly.

  "Hehe, Master said it's a sixth-grade pill. I ’t quite remember its exaame," Zi Yan replied with a slightly embarrassed smile. She had assumed Han Xue would reize it.

  "A sixth-grade pill!"

  Upon hearing Zi Yan’s words, Han Xue became thrilled. After all, the alchemist the Han family revered could only craft fifth-grade pills. Pills of the sixth grade were extremely rare, and the Han family barely had a few in their possession. The fact that Zi Yan had casually given such a valuable pill as a meeting gift left Haonished.

  "Sister Zi Yan, this gift is too precious! I ’t accept it!" Han Xue quickly put the cap ba the bottle and tried to return it to Zi Yan.

  "It’s no big deal, just a sixth-grade pill. I have plenty of them! I also have seventh-grade pills if you prefer. If you don't want this one, you take one of these!" Zi Yan pulled out two more jade bottles from her ste ring, each tainih-grade pills.

  "Seventh...grade…pills…"

  At this point, Han Xue began to stammer in shock, clearly overwhelmed.

  After a moment, when she had finally processed everything, Han Xue decided to accept the inal sixth-grade pill Zi Yan had first offered.

  After that, Han Yue softly suggested to Zi Yan, "Senior sister, how about I apany you over the few days to explore the city a you experiehe atmosphere of my hometown?"

  "A few days of fun?" Zi Yan was tempted by the offer but hesitated as she remembered her task.

  "Sister Zi Yan, I know this pce well. Before, when my sister wasn’t home, I had no i in going out. But now, it’s perfect! The three of us go out together!" Han Xue excitedly chimed in, eager for the adventure.
