Chapter 356: The Hong Family Grows Suspicious! Iigating Ziyan!

  After Ziyan and Hauro the Han family estate, nothing signifit occurred throughout the day. Despite the otion that had taken p the bustling market earlier, the Hong family did not send ao the Han family to demand an expnation.

  In the evening, Han Yue’s father, Han Chi, summoned her aloo his study.

  "Yue'er, you've been back for a few days, but we haven’t had a proper versation. Now, you share with your father some of the experiences you've had over the years while you were away?" Han Chi asked kindly iudy.

  "Father, I've already told you about being a disciple at Jia Nan Academy. However, there are still many things about my master that I ’t yet disclose..." Seeing the expet look on Han Chi's face, Han Yue spoke cautiously.

  Upon hearing her response, Han Chi was clearly displeased, but he didn’t press further. Instead, he sighed and said, "Yue'er, we've analyzed the strength of your senior sister, and it seems her bat pht not be inferior to mine. For your master to be able to produce such a disciple, their power must be terrifying!"

  "Indeed, my master's strength is terrifying!" Han Yue nodded in agreement.

  "Yue'er, there's no one else here right now, so I'll ask you just ohing. What level has your master's cultivation reached? How does it pare to the Grand Elder?" Han Chi asked gravely.

  "As for my master's exact strength... I’m not too sure. But based on my intuition and some of the teiques I’ve seen, I say with certainty that eve-grandfather wouldn’t be a maty master!"

  Though Han Yue’s words were vague, they provided the exaswer Han Chi had been hoping for.

  After hearing this, Han Chi’s expression suddenly rexed, and he said joyfully, "Yue'er, it seems sending you all the way to Jia Nan Academy was a very wise decision!"

  Although Han Yue could have stayed with the Han family to receive nearly the same cultivation resources, she had beehousands of miles away to Jia Nan Academy at a young age. This decision had puzzled many people.

  What they didn’t know was that while the Han family might be sidered promi in Tianbei City, in the grand scheme of the Northern Region or even Zhongzhou, it was rather insignifit.

  Han Chi’s decision was in lih the thinking of many families from Zhongzhou. Sending their people to a pce like Jia Nan Academy had two purposes: first, to temper and improve their abilities, and sed, to make es with talented individuals. Additionally, they hoped to establish some retionship with the semi-saint dean of Jia Nan Academy, who was as elusive as a dragon, in hopes of gaining his prote.

  Clearly, the results of Han Yue's journey had greatly satisfied Han Chi, both as a father and as the head of the family.

  "Yue'er, that's all I wao ask. You go rest now," Han Chi said with satisfa.

  "Then I’ll take my leave," Han Yue said, maintaining a calm expression as she borepared to leave the study. Just as she turo go, Han Chi spoke again, "Yue'er, don't worry about what happened earlier today. Hong Tao provoked first, and your senior sister merely taught him a lesson without taking his life. Even if the Hong family es looking for trouble, your father won't back down an inch!"

  …

  At the same time, in Tianbei City, in a manor evehan the Han family estate, several high-ranking members of the Hong family were gathered in a grand hall.

  In the hall, Hong Tao, who had been severely injured by Ziyan earlier, was lying on a soft stretcher carried by four servants.

  o Hong Tao stood a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes, his face filled with sorrow as he pio another middle-aged man sitting at the head of the hall.

  "Family head, how could the Han family dare to act so violently on our Hong family’s territory? If we let this go, won’t the other families ugh at us?"

  The man sitting at the head of the hall was Hong Li, the head of the Hong family. His cultivation had long reached the peak of the Dou Huang stage, and he was only oep away from entering the Dou Zong realm.

  "Hong Liang, do you realize that the young dy from the Han family is the one 'er has taken a liking to? Yet Hong Tao dared to harass her. Is he disregarding the direct line of the family head?"

  At this moment, rather than saying anything about seeking justice for Hong Tao, Hong Li harshly reprimahe middle-aged man in front of him without any trace of sympathy.

  "Hong Li!"

  Hearing Hong Li show sudiffereoward his son's life ah, Hong Liang’s face turned ashen with anger. Grinding his teeth, he retorted, "Enough of this! If you're not going to step in, don't bme me for taking matters into my own hands!"

  "Fourth Brother, how you speak to Big Brother like that?"

  Another elder from the Hong family, who had been sitting in the hall, g Hong Li’s expression and quickly tried to mediate. "We all feel deeply for what happeo nephew Hong Tao, but you don’t o react so harshly."

  "Hmph, it's not your son who's beeen like this. Of course, you're not upset!" Hong Liang, ed by rage, ighe elder's attempt to calm him down.

  "Very well, I’d like to see how you hahis, Hong Liang!"

  inally, Hong Li inteo warn Hong Liang before discussing how to resolve the situation, but Hong Liang's attitude only further displeased him. He immediately ordered, "Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, none of you are allowed to interfere in this matter!"

  "We're leaving!"

  Furious and having pletely fallen out with Hong Li, Hong Liang angrily waved his sleeve and anded his servants to carry the severely injured Hong Tao out of the hall.

  "Big Brother, are we really going to ighis?"

  After Hong Lia, the other elders hesitated before voig their s to Hong Li.

  After a moment of ption, Hong Li suddenly said in a deep voice, "Let him stir up a little trouble for now... I’ve heard that the eldest daughter of the Han family has ged signifitly since her return. Not only has her strength improved dramatically, but she’s also acquired a fifth-rank peak flying magical beast. Most importantly, the young girl who apanied her is said to be her senior sister and possesses the bat power of a Dou Emperor."

  "A Dou Emperor!"

  Everyone in the hall was shocked upon hearing Hong Li's words.

  "Yes, someone who instantly defeat a peak Dou King expert and trol their power so precisely that they ihout killing must be at least a three-star Dou Emperor," Hong Li fidently cluded, having examihe injuries of the elder who had protected Hong Tao.

  "She and Han Yue share the same master. It seems we o iigate this matter thhly!"

  "Han Yue came from Jia Nan Academy. Perhaps we should send someoo the Bck-er Region!"
