Chapter 555 – Recognizing the Breakthrough
Han Li looked at the two women’s expressions and stroked his chin, revealing a hint of thoughtfulness as he nodded without saying a word.
After one of the female cultivators reached out and touched the wall, green light rippled out and a stone door appeared.
”Elder can only lead senior here, so I’ll take my leave first.”
The old man took this opportunity and hurriedly excused himself.
Han Li didn’t care and walked into the house with large strides. After passing through a short corridor, Han Li walked into a hall.
Dressed in a light green dress with a lightly made-up face, Mrs. Fan stood waiting in the middle of the room, her face full of smiles.
”Concubine did not greet from afar, I hope senior will forgive me.”
This woman cherry mouth one, a smile of scopolamine obeisance, followed by a delicate body, please Han Li into the seat.
Han Li looked at the sandalwood chair behind the woman, eyebrows raised, did not politely walk over to sit down. Then, after turning his gaze around on the other party’s moth-eyebrow knitted delicate features, he calmly said, “It seems that the lady is not at all worried that I have come to be detrimental to your sect.”
”Senior is joking. With senior’s cultivation, how could it be difficult for my concubine, a latecomer to the Foundation Establishment stage.”
Mrs. Fan lightly moved her lotus steps, and after sitting down on one side of Han Li, she covered her mouth and lightly laughed.
At this moment, the beautiful woman was only about ten feet away from Han Li, and a burst of ethereal fragrance came to her nose. Han Li slightly frowned, but also look as usual. However, after sitting down, the woman’s face revealed a trace of unintentional surprise, and suddenly surveyed Han Li with a strange gaze.
With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Han Li was about to ask the other party what he meant. A clear-eyed young female cultivator, holding a light red tea tray, quietly walked in. She put a cup of tea in front of each of the two, after a cup of fragrant tea, even stood behind Mrs. Fan on her own.
Mrs. Fan’s face appeared to be as normal, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes that flashed by, but she did not say anything.
Seeing this, Han Li looked at the two women, and his heart couldn’t help but stir.
”Seniors have come this time, is there anything that requires the effectiveness of this sect? If it is possible to help, my Sect will definitely do its best.”
Lady Fan held the clear tea in front of her and took a small sip before. Quite calmly, she asked.
”Since Sect Master Fan has said so, Mister Li doesn’t want to beat around the bush. I wonder if your sect’s transmission array back to the Inner Sea has been completed, and Mister Li would like to borrow it for a bit.”
Han Li said without changing his color, as if the mention was just a trivial matter.
”A transmission array?”
Lady Fan was first stunned, then her beautiful eyes flicked around for a few moments before revealing an expression that seemed like a smile.
”I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint senior. This teleportation array has not yet been fully repaired, but it might be close, just need to wait for some more time ……”
”How much longer do I have to wait?”
Han Li coldly interrupted without waiting for this woman to finish.
”This is hard to say! Senior also knows that right now, this spell formation is just short of those Illusory Dream Stones. Last time, Elder Yun and the other seniors went to the Illusory Dream Stone origin to retrieve this stone, but the result was that the demonic beasts there were still startled. After a big battle, they only managed to retrieve a little bit of this material and lost several seniors. In desperation, Elder Yun is planning his next action and is about to ……”
Mrs. Fan slightly showed hesitation, after placing the teacup in her hand back on the table, she still explained to Han Li.
”Cough ……”
The female cultivator standing behind Lady Fan suddenly coughed lightly.
A hint of sulkiness flashed across Lady Fan’s delicate flower-like face, but then, as if she had some scruples, her words stopped there.
A trace of color appeared on Han Li’s face, and then he raised his head and coldly stared at the female cultivator, causing the woman to hurriedly lower her head in some fear.
”Since, within a short period of time, it is impossible to use the teleportation array, then the following words, Mister Li also has no need to say. I take my leave.”
Han Li pondered briefly and stood up without the intention of staying long.
Seeing this, a complex color flashed across Lady Fan’s face, and after hesitating for a moment, she slowly uttered a sentence that caused Han Li to freeze for a moment.
”Although my concubine is unable to assist in the matter of teleportation. However, my Sect has always held all of you JieDan stage seniors in high esteem! Seniors should just rest here for the night and leave tomorrow!”
”Spend the night here? Fine! Rest for the night before moving on.”
Han Li originally frowned and wanted to balk, but after locking eyes with the other party’s beautiful eyes for a moment, he changed his mind.
”Hee hee! This Sect will definitely treat senior well. Someone come, take Senior Knight to the best room.”
Lady Fan said with a delicate smile as a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Instantly, another young female cultivator walked in in response.
Without any nonsense, Han Li stood up and followed this woman outside.
However, before leaving the hall, he seemed to want to confirm something as if he was trying to confirm something, and glanced back with great meaning before leaving without any panic.
”Sect Master! Why did you leave this person here? Isn’t it a bit presumptuous? This cultivator surnamed Li, last time, could have flatly refused our solicitation.”
As soon as Han Li’s silhouette disappeared from outside the hall, the young female cultivator behind Lady Fan opened her mouth. The voice was soft, but there was an indescribably charming meaning in it, and her clear face was very different, men heard, nine times out of ten would thump their hearts. However, although this woman’s tone was still quite respectful, it vaguely leaked out a flavor of questioning.
”Yunqin! You’re getting bolder and bolder! This Senior Knight’s cultivation is amazing, so what’s wrong with me deliberately befriending him. Since when is it your turn to be in charge of the Myriad Sound Sect?”
Lady Fan’s face sank when she heard this.
”Don’t dare. My disciple was only instructed by Elder Yun before she left, and I hope that the Sect Master won’t do something that will make things difficult for my disciple.”
This young woman was humble in her mouth, but there was no meaning to back down at all in her words, and moved Yun Tian Xiao out.
”Humph! I will tell Yun Tian Xiao about this matter when he returns. This Sect Master also has other important matters, so I apologize for not accompanying him!”
Lady Fan’s face became even colder, and after flinging her long sleeves, she walked away without looking back.
Inside the hall, only the young woman with a cloudy face was left behind.
Inside the cozy house, Han Li lay on the wooden bed, not blinking as he thought about something.
He had ventured to spend the night in this marketplace, but he didn’t have any worries in his heart. The situation of this place had long since been scanned by him with his powerful divine sense.
The highest cultivation level here was Lady Fan and a few other late Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there were no JieDan stage cultivators here, not to mention those YuanYing stage old monsters. Therefore, unless there were any shocking changes, he could be safe and sound here.
However, he was already thinking about whether he really wanted to spend a few years flying back to the inner sea from the sea road.
Just then, a few knocks sounded outside the door.
”Come in.”
Han Li’s body didn’t move a bit as he said faintly from the bed, as if he already knew who the visitor was.
As a result, a delicate light laugh came from outside the house, and Mrs. Fan pushed the door in all her finery. She walked to the center of the room with her lotus steps moving at first, her cloud temples dipped in ink, a hundred winks and a thousand daughters.
”Senior hasn’t even rested in peace so late, it seems that she knew that my concubine was coming.”
The fragrant wind came together, and this woman sat down unapologetically close to the head of Han Li’s bed, looking at Han Li with a smile.
”With Sect Master Fan hinting so obviously, I would also like to know exactly what secret matters the lady needs to talk about with Mister Li alone. To be clear beforehand, it’s not something related to the teleportation array that I’m not interested in knowing.”
Han Li did not even look at the other party and said indifferently with his eyes closed.
”This is natural. Having been chased by so many multiple Infant Stage old monsters to the Outer Star Sea, it’s only natural for Elder Han to want to go back again.”
”What did you say? Who is Elder Han!”
Han Li’s lying body stiffened up a bit. All at once, he opened his eyes and stared at the voluptuous woman in front of him with a brilliant light, his voice chilling in vain as he asked in a drunken manner.
”The concubine is naturally talking about Elder Han of my sect.”
Lady Fan was stared at by Han Li in such a manner, but her expression remained unchanged as she leisurely said, not revealing the slightest hint of panic.
Han Li coldly stared at this woman for a moment and sat up at once.
”How do you recognize me? With your cultivation, it’s impossible to tell my true appearance.”
Han Li regained his composure and slowly asked.
”Concubine didn’t see it, but smelled it.”
Lady Fan stretched out her white jade-like white wrist and pulled a strand of hair in front of her forehead, her beautiful eyes flashed with a wry color as she said back.
”Smell out?”
Han Li was stunned for a moment at his words, his face revealing a look of dazed and puzzled mingling together.
As if she could see that Han Li still had a trace of puzzlement, Mrs. Fan’s small mouth pursed, and lightly smiled as she explained, “Since I was a child, I’ve never been the same as normal people, and I’m able to clearly distinguish between different body odors on people’s bodies, and I can permanently remember some of those odors that I want to remember in my heart. Unluckily, at first, my concubine was quite interested in Elder Han, and she memorized the scent of her predecessor a long time ago, and hasn’t forgotten it so far! The last time in the market, Elder Han was too far away from my daughter, and there were too many people, so I didn’t realize the identity of the elder. Now that we’re in the hall during the day, so close, Elder Han naturally can’t hide it from my concubine.”
At this moment, Mrs. Fan’s eyes seemed as if they could drip water at any time, looking at Han Li with flair and pursing her lips in a low smile.
