Xiao Yan Doesn't Even Spare the Small Ones?

A few days later.

"We've arrived at Tianbei City."

With a flick of his sleeve, Venerable Skyfire revealed an exit in the Space Channel.

The five people stepped out one by one, and the view before them suddenly opened up.

Tianbei City is a sizable city in the Northern Region of the Central Plains, where the Han Family is located.

Unlike the last time I came, looking down from above, it's not hard to see that the clear division of power between the Hong Family and the Han Family in the city has disappeared.

Instead, a network of influence radiating throughout Tianbei City was established, centered on the newly built Han Family Manor in the city center.

With the Earth Demon Puppet left behind by Xiao Yan and the presence of two Dou Zong powerhouses, the Han Family patriarch, such development is to be expected.

The fact that Xiao Yan and the others directly tore through space caused quite a stir in the city. After all, while Dou Zong experts were not uncommon in Central Plains, Dou Zun level experts were rare.

The unparalleled beauty and elegance of Queen Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian also attracted a lot of subtle attention.

"It seems the Han Family has been doing quite well over the past year or so."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

The Xiao Yi Xian had already visited the Han Family once, nodded in agreement upon hearing this:

"Hmm, it seems Uncle Han has also broken through to the Dou Zong realm."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback and quickly used his soul perception to scan Tianbei City. Sure enough, he discovered that Han Chi had broken through to the Dou Zong realm.

"Strange, he broke through so quickly?"

Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled.

When they last met, Han Chi was only Seven-Star Dou Emperor. According to the normal timeline, in another six or seven years, Han Chi's realm would only be at the Peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor, which is considered to be half a step into the Dou Zong realm.

In just over a year, Han Chi has actually become Dou Zong powerhouse?

Although judging from his aura, he probably only broke through a couple of days ago, this speed is clearly abnormal.

"Let's go down and take a look."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and led the other four directly towards the Manor in the center of the city below.

The five figures landed gracefully, heading straight into the Han Family Manor.

Because the method of directly opening Space Channel is too special, it is a method that only Dou Zun expert can possess. Therefore, even though the five people swaggered down, no one dared to try to stop them or question them.

Some guards simply surrounded them, but before they could speak, several figures emerged from the depths of the Manor, led by Han Chi, the head of the Han Family.

Dressed in a brocade robe, he exuded a calm and composed aura. Upon seeing Xiao Yan standing in the center, a deep joy immediately appeared between his brows.

"So it's my son-in-law who's back!" Han Chi laughed loudly and strode forward to greet him. "I sensed some spatial fluctuations just now, and I thought it was some senior passing by. I didn't expect it to be you who's returned!"

Xiao Yan cupped his hands and smiled:

"Uncle Han, congratulations on breaking through to the Dou Zong realm!"

Han Chi waved his hand, his face full of gratitude.

"Thanks to my son-in-law for sending me pills over the past year, and with the guidance of the ancestor, I was fortunate enough to break through."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled.

Although he did leave some pills for the Han Family before he left, it wasn't a lot. They were mainly for improving the strength of some of the family's younger members and core members. He had already given away all the pills he had given to Han Chi before, so there weren't enough for Han Chi.

In short, no matter how you look at it, it's not enough for Han Chi to break through to the Dou Zong in such a short time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan remained calm, smiled and nodded casually, saying:

"Oh, I've been quite busy. I've been assigning some things and haven't been paying attention to them since. I only heard from my subordinates that things have been taken care of, but I don't know the specifics. Uncle Han, you might as well tell me. If my subordinates have been negligent or acted improperly, please let me know."

Queen Medusa and the others were not very familiar with this matter, so they did not speak and simply watched from the sidelines.

"Oh, it was a senior named Elder Sheng who brought the pills. He was very kind to our Han Family and even gave some pointers to the alchemist our family has been honored with."

Han Chi, unsuspecting, smiled and praised him.

Previously, the Han Family would never have had any contact with someone of Elder Sheng's level, but ever since they got in touch with Xiao Yan, Elder Sheng has even taken the initiative to run errands to deliver pills to them!

This made the Han Family extremely happy.

"Oh, so Elder Sheng went in person? I was thinking of having one of his stewards make the trip. Looks like I'll have to reward him handsomely later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, and his tone quite casual.

The Han Family members weren't surprised by Xiao Yan's superior tone, because they already knew that this good son-in-law of the Han Family was the crown prince of the Danta. His Alchemy were even more powerful than those of veteran alchemists like Elder Sheng.

When they asked Elder Sheng about Xiao Yan, Elder Sheng held Xiao Yan in the highest esteem and showed him great respect. The loyalty in his eyes was practically visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was also making plans in his mind.

He didn't ask Elder Sheng to do this.

Within the Danta, only Elder Sheng himself and the Three Great Elders have the authority to command him to do such a thing.

However, since the instructors only teach Dou Qi cultivation and are all women, Han Yue and Han Xue usually consult Xuan Yi when they encounter problems in their cultivation.

Therefore, this matter was most likely orchestrated by Xuan Ma.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

If it weren't for his father Xiao Zhan's thoughts, Xiao Yan wouldn't even want to use the character "Xuan" in his name; he would just call her "Mom" directly.

Although Xiao Yan was born with the wisdom of his past life, he still had a deep impression of his biological mother.

But at the time, he truly couldn't find any way to save her life.

If Old Yao had awakened ten years earlier, perhaps there would still have been a chance to save him.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Strictly speaking, Xiao Yan did experience three years of maternal love.

She was a gentle woman who, while not exceptionally beautiful, was still quite pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, three years was too short, especially for Xiao Yan, who was still a child at the time.

Now, from Xuan Yi, he rediscovered that unconditional love that belonged to a mother.

But things aren't so bad for now; calling him "Xuan Ma" will definitely bring him more peace of mind than calling him "Master's Wife."

However, given the circumstances, Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry to find himself another master's wife.

At least let Xuan Ma enjoy her teacher's company to the fullest first, and secure her position as the main wife, before discussing the other teachers' wives.

Hmm... how can this not be considered a mother gaining status through her son?

As Xiao Yan pondered, Han Chi also began to observe the people behind him.

Xiao Yan's group consisted of only five people, so Han Chi only glanced around briefly and didn't look closely after not seeing his two little girls.

Upon closer inspection, however, I was startled.

Apart from the Xiao Yi Xian girl he already knew from last time, who possessed the Dou Zun, he couldn't see through any of the remaining three people. In particular, he couldn't sense the presence of the handsome man with a fire mark between his eyebrows, even though the man was standing right there.

As for the alluring woman standing beside Xiao Yan, just like Xiao Yi Xian, she exuded a terrifying aura of oppression. Needless to say, her strength was certainly no less than that of Xiao Yi Xian, and she seemed to be one of her husband's women as well.

But what about that little girl who was sitting on her son-in-law's shoulders the whole time, only jumping down after we landed?

He couldn't even sense her aura? Could it be that this little girl, who looked only a few years older than his own Xue'er, was actually a Dou Zong expert whose strength surpassed his own?

Moreover, judging from her somewhat intimate posture with Xiao Yan, she might also be one of his women!

But if that's the case, then the son-in-law's hobbies are a bit too wide-ranging, and my Xue'er is still just a child!

Although Han Chi, as the father-in-law, had long understood that his two precious daughters would eventually belong to Xiao Yan, he still felt a pang of sadness at the thought of them suffering such a terrible fate at such a young age.

But there was nothing he could do; Elder Han just happened to have two beautiful and adorable daughters.

The key point is that both daughters like Xiao Yan, and it's not the kind of relationship that can be forced.

Furthermore, there's no need to worry about Xiao Yan coveting the Han Family's wealth, because the Crown Prince of Danta wouldn't even consider such a paltry sum.

They even proactively provided resources to help the Han Family develop!

Noticing Han Chi's gaze, Xiao Yan snapped out of his reverie and quickly began to introduce himself:

"Uncle Han, you've already met Xiao Yi Xian last time, so I won't say more. This is my fiancée Medusa, and this is my senior, Zi Yan."

Han Chi greeted each of them:

"Xiao Yi Xian is as charming as ever, and Medusa is also stunningly beautiful. Your son-in-law is truly blessed. Since Miss Zi Yan is Xiao Yan's senior, she must also be Yue'er's senior. Thank you, Miss Zi Yan, for taking care of Yue'er at the academy."

Upon hearing this, knowing that this was their sister's elder, the women, despite their formidable strength and diverse personalities, all nodded in greeting and said hello to Han Chi.

"As for this person, he is considered an elder of mine. Uncle Han can call him Venerable Skyfire!"

Xiao Yan continued.

"So it is Venerable Skyfire has graced us with his presence. I, Han, have failed to greet you properly. I am truly ashamed!"

Upon hearing this, Han Chi immediately cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Given that both parties are elders, it's clear that the Dou Zun expert holds a higher status.

"No need for formalities."

Venerable Skyfire nodded slightly upon hearing this.

It wasn't that he was putting on airs; it was simply that with his current strength, even a normal reply would be enough to make Han Chi and the others feel flattered.

This is Peak Dou Zun expert who has already begun to compress his Dou Qi; a top-tier existence that is rarely seen in Central Plains.

"Hehe, look at my brain, I've actually started exchanging pleasantries here. My dear son-in-law, gentlemen, please move to the hall to have a talk."

Han Chi slapped his forehead, quickly said something, and then turned to lead the way.

Xiao Yan nodded and led everyone into the hall.

After the maidservant served the fragrant tea, Han Chi asked with concern:

"My dear son-in-law, are Yue'er and Xue'er doing well in Danta? These two girls haven't even sent a letter back. Yue'er has only been back for a few days and she's already leaving home again. Xue'er is so young, I wonder if she'll be used to going so far away, or if she'll miss home."

Xiao Yan took out the letter and handed it over:

"Uncle, rest assured, they are all well and diligent in their cultivation. They have already made some progress. This is a letter they asked me to bring back home."

Han Chi took the letter and, without any formalities with Xiao Yan, immediately opened it and began to read. After a moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face:

"Since it's for their arduous cultivation, let them stay in the Danta a few more days. Thanks to my son-in-law for taking care of them, it's their blessing to be by your side."

Seeing that Han Xue, who used to be quite playful at home, was now unwilling to go home and rest for a while because of her cultivation, Han Chi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It seems this little girl is truly moved; otherwise, her father couldn't think of any other reason to support his Xue'er's diligent and arduous cultivation.

After all, a girl her age should be at her most carefree and romantic.

But no matter what, this is a good thing.

After all, the Dou Qi Continent is not a harmonious society governed by law, and the Han Family is not at the level where they can easily protect their disciples in the face of any force on the Dou Qi Continent.

In such a situation, it would be a bad thing if talented members of the family didn't cultivate properly and Fei Tian.

This is because it often leads to the gradual decline or even extinction of the family.

"It's also because Yue'er and Xue'er are hardworking enough, they know what they want and what they want to do. I often have to go out, and I can't take care of them most of the time. Fortunately, the elders in the sect will help me guide their cultivation, which allows me to have no worries."

Xiao Yan smiled, not taking credit for himself, but rather laying the groundwork for what he was about to say.

"We have urgent business to attend to this time. We need to go to the Southern Region as soon as possible. If we come to Tianbei City, firstly, we can pass on a message to Uncle so that he won't worry about Yue'er and Xue'er. Secondly, we need to use the Space Wormhole in Tianbei City to go directly to the Heavenly Star Mountain Range in the Southern Region."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Han Chi immediately understood that Xiao Yan and his group would not stay long. Since they had made it clear that they had important business to attend to, then the Han Family had truly only come to deliver a message.

However, this also brought him considerable joy.

The fact that he made a special trip to Tianbei City to personally deliver the letter and visit his future father-in-law shows that his character is truly impeccable. He can rest assured that his two daughters are in his care.

As for Xiao Yan's statement about going the same way?

Just listen to it; if you actually think it's on your way, you'd be a fool.

Tianbei City is located in the Northern Region of the Central Plains, while the Danta is in the Central Region. Xiao Yan's destination is the Southern Region. These are completely opposite routes, so how can they possibly follow the same path?

"Since that's the case, son-in-law, you're already here. Why not have a meal before you set off? You've finally come home; how can we let you travel on an empty stomach?"

Han Chi smiled and immediately arranged for people to prepare a banquet and also prepared Space Wormhole in advance.
