Sleep, Sleep, Sleep

"What?"

Not only Xiao Han's father, Xiao Long, but even his mother, Chen Susu, stared at Xiao Han with blank expressions.

"Wait, let me process this!"

Xiao Long clutched his chest, his eyes filled with excitement as he asked again, "Father, are you saying Han'er is already a Dou Zhe?"

"Yes." Xiao Dingtian nodded heavily.

"Uh!"

Having received Xiao Dingtian's confirmation, Xiao Long laughed and scolded, "You little brat, tell me—yesterday, you didn't have a trace of Dou Qi. How did you become a Dou Zhe overnight?"

"What? A Dou Zhe?"

Xiao Han feigned surprise. "Oh, my heavens, aren't I just too amazing? I actually slept and slept and slept, and not only opened up all the Qi Seas throughout my body, but also condensed a Dou Qi Cyclone in one go, becoming a glorious Dou Zhe!"

"Cut the nonsense. Hurry up and tell us, how did you do it?" Xiao Long looked proud as he continued questioning Xiao Han.

Any cultivator knew that upon reaching the peak of the Nine Stages of Dou Qi, one would condense a Dou Qi Cyclone within the Dantian. Only after succeeding could one truly be considered to have entered the great path of cultivation.

Condensing a Dou Qi Cyclone sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult in practice.

Take Xiao Clan's Patriarch, Xiao Zhan, or the highly respected Three Great Elders of the Xiao Clan—back then, each of them had failed to condense a Dou Qi Cyclone at least twice.

As for Xiao Han, not only had all the Qi Seas in his body been opened, but he had also condensed a Dou Qi Cyclone. Such an achievement was truly the mark of a genius.

In a single night, he had gone from possessing no Dou Qi at all, skipped past the entire Dou Qi stage, and directly condensed a Dou Qi Cyclone. Such talent had never appeared in the known history of the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Long and Chen Susu could not have been happier. Because of Xiao Han's unusual physique, they had tried countless methods and worried themselves gray, only for every attempt to end in failure.

In Xiao Han's parents' hearts, they had already accepted the fact that Xiao Han would be a cripple for the rest of his life.

Yet unexpectedly, the heavens had allowed Xiao Han to condense a Dou Qi Cyclone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Long, Chen Susu, and Third Elder Xiao Dingtian were all immensely curious.

Under the gaze of the three of them, Xiao Han smiled slightly. "Father, Mother, Grandfather, I really did just sleep and sleep and sleep, then suddenly break through!"

"You little rascal..."

Seeing Xiao Han's smug, grinning expression, Xiao Long wanted to laugh and scold him a few times.

At the side, Xiao Dingtian, the Third Elder of the Xiao Clan, waved his hand and stopped him. "Enough. Let's leave it at that. Now, Han'er, tell us: why did you appear at the Back Mountain in the first place? And what exactly happened with that huge fire at the Back Mountain last night?"

At Xiao Dingtian's words, Chen Susu and Xiao Long also looked curiously at Xiao Han.

Seeing his three closest relatives asking about last night, Xiao Han was well prepared. He said calmly, "What? You still haven't found out what happened?"

"No!" Xiao Dingtian stared intently at Xiao Han, not letting a single detail of his body language escape him.

"What exactly happened? That was our Xiao Clan's Back Mountain. How could you not figure it out?"

Xiao Han feigned confusion and furrowed his brow slightly. Meeting the gazes of his three relatives, he hurriedly waved his hands. "Father, Mother, Grandfather, don't look at me like that. I don't know what happened yesterday either. I happened to be passing by the Foot of the Mountain when I saw a Mysterious Person enter our Xiao Clan's Back Mountain. I followed him, but I was still too inexperienced and he eventually discovered me. After that, he knocked me out. I really don't know anything!"

Xiao Han wore a puzzled expression, but inwardly he was quite pleased as he delivered the explanation he had prepared long ago.

As a transmigrator, Xiao Han's mentality was already far beyond that of his peers. He possessed at least this much cunning and composure.

Things like the Hongmeng System, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, and the rest would be far too troublesome to explain. For now, Xiao Han could only tell a well-intentioned lie.

Xiao Long and Chen Susu had held a sliver of hope that Xiao Han could clear up the mystery. Hearing this, they still questioned him. "Other than that, didn't you notice anything else?"

"What does Father hope I noticed?" Xiao Han asked in return.

"Enough."

At that moment, Xiao Dingtian stroked his goatee. His profound eyes seemed to have seen through Xiao Han's little trick. As Xiao Han's grandfather, he was even more satisfied with his grandson's maturity. He said calmly, "If my grandson says he doesn't know, then he doesn't know. If anyone else asks, we'll also say we don't know. After all, we truly don't know. Xiao Long, Susu, our grandson has only just awakened from unconsciousness. Let him rest properly. We should leave first!"

Without waiting for a response, Xiao Dingtian turned and strode out of Xiao Han's room.

Faced with Xiao Dingtian's words, Xiao Long as his son and Chen Susu as his daughter-in-law did not dare disobey. They followed Xiao Dingtian out of Xiao Han's room.

After Chen Susu shut the door to Xiao Han's room, Xiao Dingtian spoke again. "Xiao Long, Susu, remember what I just said. No matter how outsiders question us, we will say we don't know."

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Father."

Xiao Long and Chen Susu both nodded in agreement. After a pause, Xiao Long added, "But Father, Han'er is clearly hiding something about this matter. And the opening of his Qi Seas, as well as his condensation of a Dou Qi Cyclone, are most likely connected to what happened last night!"

"Mm."

Xiao Dingtian nodded, stroking his snow-white goatee. "I also suspect that some expert may be guiding my grandson from behind the scenes. However, based on the current situation, this expert bears no ill will toward our Xiao Clan. Fortunately, our grandson's physical problem has finally been resolved. Next year, we also won't have to worry about him being assigned to one of the family's businesses. Since our grandson does not wish to speak of any of this, then from now on, we should not ask about it again."

"Yes, Father." Xiao Long nodded in agreement.

Xiao Long and Xiao Dingtian, who were talking in the courtyard, likely did not know that after the souls of Xiao Han from the China Plane and Xiao Han from the Doupo World had fused, Xiao Han's perception had become far keener than that of an ordinary person. He heard every word of their conversation.

Xiao Long and Xiao Dingtian's attitude toward yesterday's events was precisely what Xiao Han needed.

"Having transmigrated, who exactly am I now?"

Confusion flashed through Xiao Han's eyes. A moment later, his gaze became resolute. "I am now Xiao Han of the China Plane, and also Xiao Han of the Xiao Clan in Wutan City. Mm, there was no opportunity before, but now that I've transmigrated here and been given one, in this life, I will definitely become the greatest man in all the worlds—the brightest star in the sky."

Xiao Han gently clenched his fists, and the heart of a powerhouse rose within him.
