Night fell, and the moonlight was hazy.
The Han Family had already tacitly approved the relationship between Han Yue and Xiao Li.
It was an honor for their Han Family to be able to associate with a powerhouse like Xiao Li, whose strength was unfathomable.
As for the matter between him and Han Yue, since the parties involved had no objections, others naturally had no objections either.
And tonight, Han Yue came to Young Master Xiao Li's room again.
Only this time, she wasn't alone; Han Xue was with her!
"Yue'er, you two came together, is there something you need?"
"Xiao Li, Xiao Xue has something to ask you," Han Yue said with a smile, pushing Han Xue forward.
"What is it?"
"Young Master Xiao..."
Han Xue had already mentally prepared herself, but when she truly stood before Young Master Xiao Li, she immediately became nervous again.
She stammered, unsure how to speak.
Seeing this, Han Yue took the initiative to speak for Han Xue: "Xiao Li, ever since you saved my sister in Ten Thousand Snake Gorge, she has fallen in love with you at first sight."
"So, Xiao Xue wants to know your feelings for her."
After Han Yue finished speaking for her, Han Xue looked at Young Master Xiao Li, her face flushed with shyness and nervousness.
Young Master Xiao Li was momentarily stunned.
Although he had long taken a liking to Han Xue, and the reason he remained in the Han Family and hadn't left yet was because of Han Xue.
He had already planned his moves, but he didn't expect Han Xue to come to him proactively.
Since she was so proactive, how could Young Master Xiao Li give up?
He walked up to Han Xue and took her small hand.
"Actually, the moment I first saw you, I also fell for you, after all, Xiao Xue is so adorable."
These words instantly made Han Xue's cheeks turn crimson, and her mind went blank, unable to process anything.
Then, Young Master Xiao Li led her by the hand to the bed.
With her hand held by him, Han Xue felt her mind go completely blank, utterly unaware of what to do.
Although she had already gone through the process once with Han Yue during the day, when it truly came to this moment, she was still somewhat at a loss.
She could only let Young Master Xiao Li guide her.
And Han Yue, as an older sister, was very dutiful, personally guiding them from the side.
Soon, the room was filled with spring... [Ding! Successfully taken in Han Xue!]
[Reward: Heaven-tier Mid-grade Dou Technique · Heaven and Earth Annihilation Spear!]
...With the reward in hand, Han Xue also began her intermission.
But Young Master Xiao Li was far from reaching a state of rest.
He decisively shifted his gaze to Han Yue, who was guiding them from the side.
Seeing his gaze, the latter immediately understood.
"Yue'er, come here, it's your turn."
Han Yue's cheeks were flushed, but she still obediently walked over.
Although she had been quite exhausted yesterday, she still cooperated fully.
After all, she herself had a taste for it and was quite addicted to the feeling.
And so, Han Yue and Han Xue took turns, unable to sleep all night...
After the Hong Family was annihilated, the Han Family took over the entire Tianbei City, becoming the sole dominant power.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
Because everyone knew that this was merely the calm before the storm.
Although the Hong Family was annihilated, they had the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion backing them, and their strength was not something the Hong Family could compare to.
Hong Chen was an inner disciple of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion. If he was killed and the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion showed no reaction, then they would lose face in the North Region of the Central Plains.
For these powers, face was very important!
People could die, but face must never be lost!
So, many people in Tianbei City wondered when the people from the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion would arrive.
And the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion indeed came.
On the fifth day after the Hong Family's annihilation.
Early in the morning, the people of Tianbei City felt that the atmosphere today was not quite right.
Outside the city, many disciples of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion had appeared.
And leading them were the Four Great Elders of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion!
As well as the Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion — Fei Tian!
The Pavilion Master and the Four Great Elders were all present; such a scene was rarely seen on ordinary days.
While everyone was astonished, they were also filled with worry.
Because they all knew why the people from the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion had come — for the Han Family!
Once the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion made a move against the Han Family, the people of Tianbei City also ran a certain risk of being caught in the crossfire.
The Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion also considered this factor, which is why they did not directly charge in.
After all, indiscriminate killing would greatly affect their reputation.
But the Han Family did not hide; instead, they came to the city gate.
"I didn't expect Pavilion Master Fei Tian and the Four Great Elders to all come; I apologize for not welcoming you sooner," Han Chi said, cupping his hands in a bow.
"Are you Han Chi, the Patriarch of the Han Family? Then you should know why we are here today," Fei Tian said expressionlessly.
Han Chi's expression was solemn: "The battle between us and the Hong Family was a matter of life and death. If we hadn't acted, then we would be the ones annihilated now. We had no choice."
"If Pavilion Master Fei Tian doesn't mind, my Han Family is willing to offer a generous gift to resolve the grievances between us."
Fei Tian, however, shook his head: "This Pavilion Master doesn't care for anything from your Han Family."
"Hong Chen was a disciple of my Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion, and also the successor this Pavilion Master favored, yet he died at your hands."
"Don't say that this Pavilion Master is heartless; if you want to preserve the Han Family, you can. If you commit suicide alone, it can save the lives of the others in the Han Family."
Fei Tian's tone was very direct, without any room for discussion.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Han Family changed their expressions.
To demand that Han Chi, the Patriarch, commit suicide before they would let them go—truly worthy of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion.
Before Han Chi could answer, Han Yue and Han Xue rushed forward, "Father, absolutely not!"
They couldn't possibly watch Han Chi commit suicide.
"Otherwise, not a single person from your Han Family will survive," Fei Tian said.
As the Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion, he had to offer this choice; he couldn't just directly annihilate the Han Family, which would seem petty.
However, neither of these two choices was viable for the Han Family.
So, they chose a third option.
"Pavilion Master Fei Tian is quite overbearing. Just being the Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion makes you this arrogant. If you were to become the Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder Eastern Pavilion, wouldn't you be walking sideways?"
A mocking voice rang out.
Fei Tian and the others looked over, only to see a young man stepping through the air.
"Who are you?"
"Xiao Li."
"You are Xiao Li, the one who annihilated the entire Hong Family by himself?" Fei Tian clearly knew about Young Master Xiao Li.
"That's right, it's me," Young Master Xiao Li admitted openly, saying,
"I also heard what Pavilion Master Fei Tian just said."
"The demands you put forth are quite inhumane. I'll answer for the Han Family: we choose neither."
"As for Hong Chen and the Hong Family's matter, I, Xiao Li, am stating it here today: anyone who wishes to avenge the Hong Family can come find me."
"But I must also warn you in advance, if you choose to act, you will bear the consequences."
Young Master Xiao Li faced the entire Pavilion Master, Elders, and numerous disciples of the Wind Thunder Northern Pavilion alone, without the slightest fear.
He even exuded an aura of dominance, as if to say, 'Whoever comes, dies!'
...
