Han Family received Lu Li and the other two with great respect!
Lu Li had made the matter public. If Han Family didn’t act graciously, people would say that the Han Family was being short of manners. Han Yue’s story had been widespread. Han Yue really was treasured at the Han Family. Her savior had come so the Han Family must take the visit seriously.
Han Wuxin came out with Han Yue in person to greet Lu Li, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu in their courtyard. Han Wuxin seemed to be only about 40 years old. He was at the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm. He had a fine look and he seemed to be a romantic person. It was understandable that he would leave after having a one night stand with Han Yue’s mother.
Han Yue was glad to see Lu Li. She bowed and shyly said, “Greetings, Young Master Lu and my lords.”
“An eighth-rank Bloodline indeed.” Lu Li and the other two took a look at Han Yue’s neck. They were surprised to see a black mark.
“Ha, ha, ha~”
Han Wuxin laughed, cupped his fists and said, “I have heard that my Yue-er was saved. I have been searching for you. I didn’t expect that you will be here. You must stay a while at the Mystic Fire City and give me a chance to entertain you.”
Han Wuxin took Lu Li’s hands and went inside gladly. The scouts of the Song Family on the plaza became disappointed. How come Lu Li could find such a good help as the Han Family? If the Song Family still wanted to do something, they must consider about how the Han Family would react.
This was not something the scouts could decide. The three scouts quietly left and sent back the information back to the Song Family for the big shots to decide.
…
The Han Family really showed their respect. There were seven or eight patriarchs at the welcome dinner in addition to Han Wuxin, but the Family Patriarch, i.e. Han Yue’s grandpa, was not here. Lu Li hadn’t shown his identity. No wonder the Family Patriarch of the Han Family was not present.
There were so many people toasting at the dinner that Lu Li had a hard time and he was drunk. Han Wuxin tried to ask Lu Li’s identity but Ming Yu and Yu Huashen helped Lu Li to dodge the question since the two were not drunk.
Han Family was kind of a big deal at the northeastern Central Plains. They were weaker than the Song Family, however, with Han Yue and her eighth-rank Bloodline, it was possible that the Han Family could rise up in decades and the Han Family might become a seventh-rank Family.
Lu Li was sent back to a guest room. When he woke up, another party began. Lu Li found it hard to refuse. They were here to seek help. They couldn’t afford to offend the Han Family.
What came next…
What came next made Lu Li more miserable. The Han Family would throw several parties per day. Every time, Lu Li would be drunk. When another day started, he would have to drink. When he was drunk, he slept and he had to start drinking again after he woke up…
On the fourth day, Lu Li finally could not take it any longer.
Han Wuxin came again to invite Lu Li to a boite in the city to enjoy themselves. Lu Li refused. He shook his head and said, “I cannot drink. I really cannot drink anymore.”
“You don’t want to drink?”
Han Wuxin thought about it and said, “Then how about we go to the auction house. There is an auction going on tonight at the Green Water City. The largest of its kind in three years. Let’s go over there and have some fun, huh? You can buy anything you want as long as it is below two billion Xuan Crystals, just a small gesture from us.”
Lu Li had seen a map. He had some knowledge of the forces at this part of the Central Plains. The Green Water City was where the Pavilion of Green Water headquartered. This was a seventh-rank Force. Han Family was affiliated with the Pavilion of Green Water.
What Han Wuxin meant was clear—Lu Li had saved Han Yue, and Han Family wanted to return the favor by giving Lu Li two billion Xuan Crystals. But it was weird to give him the Xuan Crystals directly. It would be better for Lu Li to bid for some treasures and it would make the Han Family look better.
“Two billion?”
Lu Li nodded to himself. Han Family really valued Han Yue. It was very generous to give him two billion Xuan Crystals.
“Lord Wuxin, this is too much.”
Lu Li shook his head and said, “I don’t want to go to the auction. I am here because I have a favor to ask, actually. It would appear that I am too petty but I really don’t have any other choices. Please forgive me, Lord Wuxin.”
Han Wuxin became nervous. Lu Li wanted something else, but he would not take the two billion? Would he demand an exorbitant price ? Lu Li came here in person and he shouted that he saved Han Yue publicly. It already made Han Wuxin feel Lu Li as someone petty.
Of course, Han Wuxin said with a smile, “We are greatly indebted to you, Young Master Lu. Tell us. As long as I can do it, I will not say another word.”
“Thank you, Lord Wuxin.”
Lu Li came straight to his point, “We want to go to the Mystic Armor Region. Truth be told, I am a distant-related disciple of the Lu Family. I want to go to one of my uncles for shelter, but we have some enemies chasing us. So… we wonder if the Han Family can ask a warrior at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm to protect us, just until we get to the Mystic Armor Region.”
“Oh, I see…”
Han Wuxin was relieved. He thought Lu Li was going to name something outrageous. What Lu Li wanted was a piece of cake.
Lu Li had made open of his identity. Han Wuxin had resolved many doubts, such as why there were two Noble Lord Realm warriors with him and how come Little White was such a powerful little beast. It all made sense now that Lu Li was a disciple of the Lu Family. It was not unusual for a distant-related disciple of the Lu Family to want to go back to the Mystic Armor Region.
“Disciple of the Lu Family?”
Han Wuxin’s smile was blooming. Even a distant-related disciple was still one that came from the Lu Family. Han Wuxin confidently said, “Young Master Lu, put your mind at ease. I will ask our Third Patriarch to protect you in person. Hmm… I will go with you as well. It will not take a long time anyways, piece of cake. Let’s go. Let’s go to the Green Water City and have some fun. We will talk about it when we get back.”
“Thank you, Lord Wuxin!”
Lu Li was overjoyed. The Third Patriarch of the Han Family was at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. Han Wuxin, son of the Family Patriarch of the Han Family, would go as well. How could the Song Family do anything now?
As long as they could arrive at the Mystic Armor Region, Lu Li would stop worrying about the Song Family. When he stated that he came from the Lu Family, who dared to lay a hand on him?
Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were next to them. Hearing Han Wuxin’s promises, they were relieved. They were not so powerful to confront with the Song Family yet.
Lu Li was relieved to have the burden unloaded. Han Wuxin dragged Lu Li outside and said, “Young Master Lu, later when we get to the auction, you can bid on anything less than two billion Xuan Crystals. It’s a simple gesture. Don’t refuse now.”
Lu Li didn’t care if he could get any treasures anymore!
Nothing was more important than Han Wuxin sending him to the Mystic Armor Region. But how could he refuse Han Wuxin’s generosity? He had to go to the Green Water City and then he could randomly bid on something worth of several hundreds of millions of Xuan Crystals.
Three Patriarchs of the Noble Lord Realm were outside with Han Yue in the middle. It was a testimony of how much the Han Family valued her.
“Young Master Lu.”
Han Yue shyly looked at Lu Li. The girl was only 13 or 14 in age and she hadn’t fully blossomed yet. But she had Han Wuxin’s handsome face. She looked very pretty with delicate features and very lovely.
“Come with me, Xiao Yue. If you find something you like, tell me and I will buy it for you!”
Han Wuxin took Han Yue’s hand. He seemed to be very fond of her. Lu Li secretly rolled his eyes. If it were not for the fact that Han Yue had awoken eighth-rank Bloodline, Han Wuxin would pay no attention to her.
They walked to the plaza and stepped into the Teleportation Formation. The Mystic Fire City was a Region City so it was linked to many other Region Cities. The Green Water City was not far away. The Han Family was affiliated with the Pavilion of Green Water so people could teleport between the two cities.
With a glare, they arrived. Lu Li and Han Yue were dizzy. They took some rest to recover.
Lu Li glanced over and found themselves in a very magnificent city. This must be the Green Water City where the seventh-rank Pavilion of Green Water was at.
“Buzzing~”
Right as they walked out from the Teleportation Formation, another one lit up and then five people came out. Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Lu Li instantly felt they were stared upon coldly. They looked back at once.
“Oh? Song He?”
Han Wuxin was about the show them to the east when he saw who stepped out from another Teleportation Formation. He smiled, walked over and said, “Brother Song He, Brother Song Qi, you are here for the auction as well? Do you find something you fancy here?”
“Song He? Song Qi? Song Family!”
Lu Li, Ming Yu and Yu Huashen looked at each other. Their minds were weighed down with anxiety. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu were preparing to fight till their last breaths.
Song Family had sent over people so quickly and the five were all at the Noble Lord Realms. They came with ill intentions.
