The Shadow Clone dispersed, and Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Yue Kingdom's capital, just outside the Prince's Residence.
Following the towering walls of the Xin Prince's Residence, he made his way to the rear entrance.
The tall rear gates were tightly shut. Han Li stood brazenly in front of them, gazing up at the sky out of boredom.
Naruto walked over and asked, "The grandfather and granddaughter still haven't arrived?"
Han Li shook his head. "Not yet, but they'll be here soon. They wouldn't dare break their promise."
At the banquet in the Prince's Residence earlier, the pair had tried to play a trick on Han Li, only to discover that he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, above their own cultivation levels.
Not only had their prank failed, but they had also exposed their identities as cultivators.
Originally, their Qi Concealment Art had completely concealed their identities as cultivators, so much so that neither Han Li nor Naruto's Shadow Clone had noticed them before.
Thus, when they revealed themselves, Naruto's Shadow Clone had been delighted. These two were exactly whom he had been waiting for!
Han Li had likewise taken an interest in their concealment method. He had spared their lives but told them to meet him at the rear entrance of the Prince's Residence after the banquet.
"Did you take Qin Yan back to the Qin Residence?" Han Li asked Naruto.
"I secretly left a protective talisman on him. It'll automatically protect him if he's in danger. Its defense isn't very strong, but it'll alert me."
Naruto spoke with a smile.
Just then, the elderly man from the Xiao Family and his granddaughter finally approached from the distance. Naruto and Han Li immediately stopped talking and turned their attention to them.
