Chapter 291: The Xiao Family
This handsome young prince naturally didn’t know what Han Li was thinking at this moment, but instead warmly and courteously climbed into a conversation with a few old acquaintances of the Qin Clan’s children, causing two of the young ladies to have flushed blushes, which appeared to be the appearance of a fangirl’s heart.
Seeing this, Han Li secretly sneered.
This little prince was a big problem, and if these Qin Clan women really threw themselves at him, they definitely wouldn’t have any good fruit to eat.
Even if they were swallowed by this little prince with his skin and bones, Han Li would not find it strange!
After a short while, King Xin greeted Qin Yan and the other two with a humble greeting, and led the young prince to the next table to be entertained. This caused those few sons and daughters of the Qin Clan and the pair of grandsons and granddaughters of the old man surnamed Hua, who were having a good conversation with the young prince, to be a bit disappointed.
Han Li, on the other hand, took advantage of people’s inattention to gaze at the young prince’s back, a pensive gaze flashing in his eyes.
The banquet finally ended after more than an hour.
The guests who had already had their fill of fun began to bid farewell to King Xin’s father and son.
Qin Yan also led Han Li and the others, sandwiched between them as they uttered their farewells, and directly left the gates of King Xin’s residence.
But it was when Elder Qin just wanted to get in the same carriage as Han Li when he came up that Han Li suddenly opened his mouth and asked a question that left Qin Yan stunned.
”Uncle Qin, what are those two people? Can you tell me about them!”
Although Han Li spoke politely, Elder Qin didn’t dare to take it lightly and hurriedly turned his face to look away and said, “Which two people is Xian Nephew Han talking about? Huh, this is not the old man of the Xiao family! He is the owner of the famous Leisurely Cloud Restaurant in the city of Yuejing, people are very low-key, Qin Mou and its not too familiar. As for the young man beside him who looks very familiar, he should be one of his grandsons!”
After Qin Yan saw the old and young duo Han Li was looking at, a look of surprise appeared on his face, wondering why Han Li was interested in these two.
”Oh, in that case! Uncle Qin, you go ahead! I’ll be walking for a while, so I’ll return to the house later.” Han Li nodded thoughtfully and said casually. Then, without waiting for Qin Yan to say anything, he slowly walked around towards the path on the side of the mansion wall.
Qin Yan looked at Han Li’s back somewhat blankly, and then looked at the distant gaze of the Xiao family’s old man who was evasively looking this way, and was a bit puzzled in his heart. But after he thought about it for a moment, he decisively got into the carriage and ordered the driving beloved to drive away.
Thus, the Qin family’s several carriages left the front gate of the Xin Wang Mansion and rushed towards the Qin Residence in the eastern district.
As for those few young masters and young ladies of the Qin family, they hadn’t even noticed Han Li’s disappearance and were still discussing what they had seen and heard in the Xin Wang Mansion today in the latter two carriages.
They were excited beyond measure! Feeling that although they hadn’t formed an immortal bond, this was definitely capital to show off to their other companions when they returned.
At this time, Han Li, after walking for about a tea time, finally arrived at the back door of the Royal Palace along the tall walls of the Royal Palace.
At this time, the tall back door was tightly closed, and there was not a single silhouette.
Han Li smiled and felt that it was just right, saving him from having to use any more spells to hide his movements. His entire person stood at the back door in a grand manner, idly looking up at the sky in boredom.
After a while, Han Li was a bit dazed and out of his mind, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, Han Li felt someone cowering from afar, and only then did he lower his head and give a cold glance.
Only to see that the Xiao family’s old man and that tomboyish girl, coming around from the other side of the royal residence. When he saw Han Li, the old man’s figure stalled, revealing a hesitant expression. The young girl, on the other hand, had a curious look on her face, with no fear at all.
The old man might have figured something out and immediately calmed down, taking big steps over, with the young girl following behind.
”Senior Xiao Zhen, thank you senior for showing mercy within the king’s mansion! If there was any offense, senior is willing to thank senior for his sins.”
After walking in front of Han Li, this Senior Xiao still couldn’t see the depth of Han Li’s cultivation at all, and under the shock in his heart, he was even more in awe of Han Li, so before opening his mouth, he snatched a salute and respectfully apologized.
Han Li’s expression remained unchanged as he withstood the other’s salute, and then faintly said: ”You’re not in a place with abundant spiritual qi, why did you show up in Yuejing City? Could it be that you are attached to the worldly glory of the red dust and are not willing to cultivate anymore?”
Han Li didn’t care, he first put a big hat on this old man before saying anything, so that he could easily overwhelm the other party in terms of aura and make the later things a bit better.
”Senior is mistaken. Late generation, because he is too old and basically hopeless in building the foundation, is the steward assigned by the family to be in charge of the secular financial resources, and is not privately stranded in the secular world without returning.” Once the green-robed old man heard this, his heart was relieved, and he replied with a slightly peaceful expression.
”Which family’s disciple are you?” Han Li did not let his mouth go easily and asked after him.
Han Li naturally had to feel out the details of these two grandchildren. If it was a few famous Immortal Cultivation clans, Han Li wouldn’t want to easily mess with them. However, the Xiao surname didn’t seem to have any famous Immortal cultivation clans!
Hearing this question from Han Li, the old man hesitated for a moment, looked back at the young girl on his side, and still answered honestly, “The latecomer is from the Xiao family of Fenghejian in Yunzhou!”
”Fenghejian Xiao Family?” Han Li frowned and thought carefully, certain that he definitely hadn’t heard of this name.
”Senior doesn’t need to think too much, the Xiao Family that junior is a member of is only a small family, it’s only natural that senior hasn’t heard of it.” Elder Xiao’s face darkened as he said in a self-deprecating manner.
Han Li was a bit surprised to hear this and re-surveyed Elder Xiao for a few moments before asking slowly with an unchanged expression, “You say it so painfully, aren’t you afraid that I’ll lose my scruples and immediately roll over and exterminate the two of you?”
When Han Li said this, the old man did not do anything. But that young girl is like stepping on the tail of the kitten, immediately look tight will be a hand panicked to the waist, where bulging, no need to ask is definitely hidden storage bag.
But then, the young girl will see their grandfather and Han Li are not really want to do it look, on the face of a red hand will be withdrawn back, and at a loss for words do not know where to put it is good, the appearance looks cute extremely!
Seeing this, the old man looked at the young girl once more with pity, then turned back to Han Li with a bitter smile and said, “Although I am unable to tell the depth of Your Excellency’s cultivation, you are definitely a senior after Foundation Establishment, this is something that I am still very clear about.”
”I do not believe that there can be any treasures such as magic artifacts, pills, or the like on one’s body that could be coveted by a cultivator with a great accomplishment in his feats such as senior.”
”If senior is really this kind of person, senior has nothing to say. With this point of cultivation mana under me, it’s useless to try to run or resist, so it’s better to surrender and let senior do what he wants, saving the anger of the entire family! The senior only wants to ask the senior to be merciful and let my granddaughter go, she is the only blood of the senior.”
The old man’s last few words, spoken in a desolate manner, caused the young girl to listen in shock and anger, and hurriedly and indignantly said repeatedly, “Grandpa, there is no need to be afraid! If he really wants to lay his hands on us, we’ll fight it out, I won’t be afraid of him!”
Han Li was stunned at first when he heard the words of Old Master Xiao and the young girl, but then after scrutinizing the two men, his heart became angry and amused.
Don’t look at the old man said sadly, a look of self-sacrifice, but Han Li did not see the slightest intention of death from its eyes. It is its outward mana fluctuations, is also ready to go look, which has a little bit of hand to catch the meaning!
Clearly playing is, in case really want to kill to take the treasure, he will immediately fight to the death of the idea.
And that young girl is even more interesting.
Although the words said angry, but a pair of black eyes like jewels, but while Han Li did not pay attention to when, drip drip turn around, from time to time showed a few points of cunning eyes.
But what this little girl doesn’t know is that Han Li, who has practiced the first layer of the “Great Diffusion Technique”, has a much stronger divine sense than the average Foundation Stage cultivator, and all of her little movements have fallen into Han Li’s grasp.
Han Li secretly thought: “I’m afraid that what these two said about the ‘Seal River Stream Xiao family’ is just a casual remark. Whether or not there is such a family, he is deeply skeptical!”
Thus, Han Li’s face revealed a smirking expression, and without a word, he looked straight at these two without saying a word.
Neither said that the two could leave, nor did he immediately turn over his face to make a move, going so far as to cool this old and young duo here for a moment.
At first the old man and the young girl two people can still maintain a sad expression.
But as a little bit of time passed, and Han Li’s lazy expression and impassive watching gaze, the old man surnamed Xiao and the young girl finally looked at each other in dismay.
”As a senior, what exactly are you planning to do?” The young girl finally couldn’t help herself. Not caring about the old man’s eyes to stop her, she jumped in front of Han Li at once, pointing at him with one hand on her waist as she asked loudly, her face full of aggravation.
