Battle Through the Heavens: I Am Han Feng, Respect the Teacher and Value the Dao

Her intuition told her that this woman was anything but ordinary.

Was she Master Han's... lover?

"Eileen, where is Elder Hai? I'm going to let him know, then I'll be leaving."

"Master Han, you're leaving already? So soon?"

There was a trace of regret in Eileen's voice.

"Yes. I've already stayed in the Jia Ma Empire for many days. Thank you to the Mite'er Family for their hospitality."

"Master Han, please don't say that. I know that even the clan head has to listen to you now."

Eileen smiled as she led Han Feng onward.

Han Feng shook his head.

He had no interest in managing the Mite'er Family.

They arrived at Hai Bodong's residence.

Sensing their arrival, he came outside.

"Master Han... Hm?"

Hai Bodong had been greeting him, but when his gaze swept over the lovely figure beside Han Feng, his body gave a violent, instinctive shudder.

Eileen

"Y-You!"

Hai Bodong was at a loss for words as he staggered back again and again.

Such strange behavior drew everyone's attention toward him.

Now that they had returned to the Mite'er Family, Cai'er felt that it was safe. Seeing the old gentleman pointing at her, she removed her veil and asked innocently, "Old sir, were you calling me?"

"Ah!!!"

The moment Hai Bodong saw that face, which had appeared in his nightmares countless times, he immediately snapped.

With a furious shout, Ice Dou Qi rapidly spread out and formed a protective ice mirror.

Yet no one present made a move. They merely watched Hai Bodong perform by himself in silence.

A few seconds later.

The scene fell utterly silent.

Eileen looked somewhat awkwardly at both sides, gave a slight bow, then quietly withdrew.

She vaguely sensed that it would be better not to know what came next.

Seeing Hai Bodong like this, Han Feng recalled that he had previously been wounded by Medusa.

Just as he was about to explain, Medusa beside him removed her mask as well and gave a cold snort.

"Old geezer, you're not dead yet!"

Hearing that familiar tone, Hai Bodong gritted his teeth.

"Medusa!"

"Master Han, how did you...?"

Han Feng glared at Medusa. She pursed her lips and turned her head away.

"Elder Hai, come out. It's fine."

With Han Feng's reassurance, Hai Bodong cautiously emerged.

He would never forget the shadow Medusa had cast over him.

Decades!

It had nearly become a Demonic Thought.

Cai'er gave Hai Bodong a friendly smile and waved at him, nearly waving his soul right out of his body.

Seeing the terror on Hai Bodong's face, Han Feng waved his hand and had the older and younger women return first.

"Elder Hai, they're gone."

Hai Bodong took several deep breaths, like someone who had just escaped drowning.

"I've made a fool of myself before Master Han."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and mocked himself helplessly.

Who would have thought that he would be frightened so badly by someone's name alone?

Even if she truly was Medusa, he was in the Imperial Capital now. Why should he fear her?

"I understand."

Han Feng nodded slightly.

Even some gifted youths who prided themselves on their steadfast minds could develop Demonic Thoughts from a single defeat. Hai Bodong's tortuous experiences were indeed more than most people could endure.

"Master Han, Medusa and the others...?"

Having calmed down, Hai Bodong regained his ability to think.

"They work for me now,"

Han Feng said.

"More importantly, I came this time to say goodbye. I'm returning to the Black Corner Region."

"The Black Corner Region?"

Hai Bodong swallowed.

"Yes, so you don't need to worry anymore."

Han Feng smiled.

Hai Bodong shook his head.

"It was mainly too sudden this time. Actually, I didn't..."

"Han Feng! Give me a storage ring."

Cai'er suddenly came back.

Without drawing attention to himself, Hai Bodong slipped behind Han Feng.

"What is it?"

Han Feng took out an ordinary storage ring and handed it to Cai'er.

"I want to pack some things. Eileen said I can take lots of books with me."

Han Feng smiled. After Cai'er left, he looked at Hai Bodong.

"Elder Hai, what were you saying just now?"

Hai Bodong fell silent for a while.

"Nothing."

"Then I'll be leaving first. If anything comes up in the future, remember to contact me using the token."

Hai Bodong nodded and watched Han Feng leave.

He stood there for a long time before sighing. "I've really embarrassed myself this time."

After Han Feng returned to his room, the women had already packed their luggage and were ready to depart.

He spread out his soul force and checked the entire room. Once he made sure nothing had been left behind, Han Feng headed for the door.

"Let's go."

At the intersection of the winding paths, Eileen was waiting. When she saw Han Feng emerge, she stepped forward with a smile. "Mr. Han, the Flying Magical Beast is ready."

This girl had taken the initiative to handle everything for him again.

Han Feng sighed inwardly and said to Eileen, "Sorry to trouble you again."

"It's what I should do."

Eileen smiled softly, then turned and led the way.

The group arrived at an open area of the Mite'er Family grounds, where a massive Cloud Patterned Eagle stood waiting, large enough to carry Han Feng and the others.

"Mr. Han, have a safe journey."

After Han Feng stepped onto the Cloud Patterned Eagle, Eileen offered her final farewell from below.

She slightly raised her lovely head, her snow-white back straight, her hands poised gracefully before her abdomen. Her bright red dress was radiant yet dignified, just as she had been when Han Feng first met her.

Han Feng nodded gently and bade her farewell.

Hai Bodong and Teng Shan also appeared at this time and respectfully bowed to Han Feng.

The Cloud Patterned Eagle beat its wings, and a burst of Wind Attribute Dou Qi rebounded against the ground as it shot into the sky.

The Mite'er Family's territory grew smaller and smaller in Han Feng's eyes. The Cloud Patterned Eagle was far faster than the Thick-winged Bird.

Han Feng gave the city behind him one last look, then took a deep breath and turned his gaze ahead.

It was time to begin the next leg of his journey.

Jia Nan Academy not only concealed the secret of the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion, but according to the intelligence gathered by the previous owner of this body, the academy might also be hiding a Heavenly Flame!

Though he could not be certain, Han Feng could still go and take a look.

As for how to obtain it, forcing the issue was definitely not an option.

The forces behind the academy were connected to the Lei Clan. Leaving aside the low chance of success, offending the Lei Clan did not fit Han Feng's future plans.

In short, this matter required careful consideration.

At the very least, he needed to establish contact with Jia Nan Academy first.

As Han Feng guided the Cloud Patterned Eagle toward the Black Corner Region, he planned out what to do next.

About half an hour later.

Cai'er suddenly took out a storage ring and handed it to Han Feng.

"You don't need to return the storage ring. Keep it for yourself."

Han Feng thought it was the one he had given Cai'er before.

But Cai'er said, "Eileen gave this to you. She asked me to pass it on after I left the Mite'er Family."

Han Feng froze for a moment, then accepted the storage ring. Inside were five Heavenly Origin Flowers, along with a letter.

He took out the letter and opened it to read.

"Master Han, these five Heavenly Origin Flowers were the last batch Black Rock City gave me, and they are also the final batch. Our previous dealings may have to end here. Master Han, there are actually some things Eileen wants to tell you, but she is too embarrassed to say them in person, so she can only convey them through this letter..."

Han Feng looked at Eileen's naive words about love written on the paper and fell silent.

After a while, Han Feng put the letter away.

Eileen... a woman so shrewd and capable in her career was so humble when it came to expressing her love.

This was a letter confessing her feelings, and also a letter of farewell.

The end of their dealings also meant the end of the connection between them.

Han Feng smiled faintly and looked down at the clouds beneath his feet, recalling his past life.

Given his identity, strength, and status, there had naturally been no shortage of outstanding women who had taken the initiative to pursue him.

But Han Feng had rejected them all. Seeing there was no hope with him, those exceptional women could only give up.

When they occasionally met again afterward, most of those women had found suitable Dao Companions.

Eileen, when we meet again, you should have found a partner suited to you as well, right?

When that time comes, I will bless you both.
