Chapter 303 – Shock
Although the Five Friends of Mengshan were greatly surprised by Han Li’s decision, they also felt that what Han Li said was somewhat reasonable, so they didn’t object.
It was only when the middle-aged woman seemed to be curious and asked about the true identities of the two men from that Black Fiend Sect that she touched a soft nail in Han Li’s coffin. Han Li only smiled faintly and said that everyone would naturally know by the time they acted at night.
This made the middle-aged woman feel bad about pursuing the matter further, revealing a look of indifference.
Soon after, Qin Ping brought the five friends of Mengshan to another nearby courtyard with Qin Yan’s message and settled them down.
While Han Li looked at the several people’s distant figures, an odd look appeared in his eyes and suddenly muttered something, saying something that no one could hear clearly.
In the evening, after the crowd had had their meal, within the living room of the Qing Yin Courtyard, the five friends of Mengshan all gathered together, preparing to begin their actions only when it was late at night as Han Li had said.
”Strange! How is it that I just can’t remember!” That thirty-ish year old youth, Fourth Brother, shook his head and kept circling around the hall with a perplexed look on his face.
”Fourth brother! Haven’t you thought of it yet?” The youngest young woman, however, sat lazily on a chair, revealing a smiley expression.
”Fourth brother, you keep saying that you look familiar with Senior Han, saying that you must have met him somewhere before. But you can’t recall when or where at all, which makes my little sister not quite believe it. It can’t be that you’re trying too hard to climb into a relationship with someone else, Senior Han, that you’re creating an illusion yourself!”
It was obvious that the young woman’s words were filled with flirtatious intentions.
”Well, that could be quite possible. After all, this senior’s appearance is too average, and it’s only natural for Fourth Brother to feel facetious!” The tall and thin second brother also sipped his fragrant tea while saying in a joking manner.
However, his eyes never left the middle-aged woman on his side for a moment, and he kept looking back and forth at the other party’s charming face and what still looked like a normal abdomen, with a blissful look on his face.
But the third in line of the middle-aged woman, but he was distracted by the look, could not help but vigorously white him a few eyes. But get is indeed his “hehehe” silly smile color, usually the shrewd deep strength, early do not know where thrown.
”Hmph, whatever you guys say. I’m sure I’ve seen it myself, but it doesn’t seem to be a recent event, there should be some years, otherwise I wouldn’t have forgotten it so completely.” The youth glared at the young woman and the tall and thin man without any good humor, and said somewhat unwillingly.
”Some years? Fourth brother, we had been cultivating hard in Meng Mountain a few years ago and never left the mountain. Then how did you see Elder Han, could it be that you saw him when you were still wearing open pants?” The middle-aged woman also smiled and joked about the youth.
”Third sister, you ……” The youth was blushed by the middle-aged woman and had an embarrassed look on his face.
”A few years ago, fourth brother wasn’t always in the mountains for hard training. Have you guys forgotten that when we didn’t know the fifth sister yet, we could have participated in an Immortal Ascension Conference. It was a two to three month long trip, but unfortunately several of us returned in defeat. But fortunately no one was too seriously injured!” The black-faced old man faintly interjected these words.
”What, everyone has participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference!” The fifth sister, on the other hand, blinked her eyes. A curious look was revealed. On the other hand, the oldest two and the middle-aged woman, on the contrary, revealed a bitter smile.
”There’s nothing to say, that was the first time a few of us learned what it meant to sit around and watch the sky!” The middle-aged woman said with a sigh.
”What the heck! Fourth brother, tell me about it. At that time …… Huh!”
The young woman’s curiosity grew even more, she turned around and wanted the male youth to speak about the Immortal Ascension Conference, but what came into her eyes was a face full of shock.
”Fourth brother, what’s wrong with you?” The others also noticed that the youth’s complexion was not right. Surprised, they asked.
”Second brother, do you still remember that day when we participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference and we left separately from big brother and third sister, I once had a momentary craving and privately went to the Jia Yuan City restaurant to steal the use of wine and food?” The youth didn’t answer the other party’s doubts, instead he suddenly talked about the old events of the past, which made the tall and thin man a bit puzzled.
”Of course I remember, at that time, although I hid the matter for you, but afterwards, my elder brother still knew about it, and severely reprimanded you!” The second oldest replied with some confusion.
”That’s right. Did I mention to you when I came back at that time that I bumped into a small cultivator suspected of also participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference in the restaurant, whose Kung Fu was only at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and that we still felt that this person looked like he didn’t know what he was doing?”
”It’s been too long, I don’t remember too well, but there should be something about this!” The oldest two said hesitantly.
He really didn’t know why this fourth brother suddenly brought up this matter. The other few people were equally puzzled as they listened to the conversation between the two of them, greatly wondering.
”But that young cultivator from back then is this Senior Han today!” The youth, dryly, uttered a sentence that left everyone present dumbfounded.
”What, Senior Han is that little cultivator with a low cultivation level?” The tall and thin man stood up from his chair in a flash, his face filled with a refusal to believe, “What’s going on? Speak in detail!” After the shock passed, the black-faced old man frowned and opened his mouth to ask.
”It’s like this, big brother!” The tall and thin man hurriedly spoke roughly about the events of that year, causing the other few people to feel incredulous as they listened.
”Fourth brother said that Elder Han was only an Immortal Cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage back then?” The young woman said as she swallowed her saliva, and then realized that her demeanor was indecent and couldn’t help but blush.
But the other few people, all of them were in shock, and no one paid attention to this small action of hers.
”Fourth brother wouldn’t have recognized the wrong person, after all, that was more than ten years ago, senior Han’s appearance and age should be different!” The black-faced old man stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.
”No, that person is definitely Senior Han! He looks exactly the same as he did back then, except that his age looks a little bit older!” The youth was first startled, then thought about it and said with certainty.
Hearing this youth speak so decisively made the other few people look at each other in disbelief. In just ten years or so, an Immortal Cultivator with such a low cultivation level had become a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, which made the hearts of several people bitter.
For a while, no one actually had the heart to speak again.
”Alright, no matter if Senior Han is that person back then, but nowadays people are genuine Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, still a little bit of etiquette can’t be lost. Don’t ask something you shouldn’t, understand?” The old man pondered for a while before opening his mouth first.
”I understand.” After hesitating for a moment, the youth honestly agreed, his face finally returning to normal.
”Alright, everyone go back to the house to recuperate and refine your qi! Make some preparations, we still don’t know what kind of vicious fight we’ll have tonight?” The old man said to the crowd.
After hearing this, the others looked at each other for a few moments, and all of them really went back to their rooms one by one. All of a sudden, the Clear Sound Courtyard became silent.
About half an hour later, when the sky had darkened, a person suddenly walked out of one of the rooms in the Qingyin Courtyard.
This person carefully closed the door of the house, looked around for a while, and then walked out of the small courtyard without a sound. He took advantage of the darkness of the night to walk to the edge of a faraway corner, his eyes flashed with a few moments of hesitation, but then immediately became resolute.
He somewhat nervously pulled out a small box from within his arms, and was just about to open it up when suddenly a sigh came from behind him, which caused this person’s body to shiver, and he was almost so shocked that he threw the box in his hands, onto the ground, because by the sound of the voice, it actually sounded like Han Li’s voice.
”Why?” The voice of another person he was incomparably familiar with came almost simultaneously, filled with grief.
Then the eyes brightened, and from nearby came out several people with their hands on the Moonstone at the same time, and under the faint white light, they all looked incredulous.
”What are you doing this for?” The black-faced old man said in a pained voice.
”What for? I just came out to try out the magic weapon!” The man’s complexion gradually regained its normalcy from being incredibly pale, and he even said as if nothing had happened.
”Then can you hand over what you’re holding to me for a look!” From the darkness of the night, Han Li lightly descended from the air and said with a normal expression.
”Strange, how can I show my magic weapon to an outsider! Of course not, isn’t it Fourth Brother!”
This sneaky person was actually the young woman among the Five Friends of Mengshan. At this moment, although she was trying hard to maintain her usual demeanor, one of her hands was uncontrollably holding onto the small box, refusing to let go of her hand for half a second.
”Fifth sister, hand over what you’re holding to Senior Han!” The black-faced old man said with a gloomy face, his voice filled with coldness.
