Chapter 302 – Countermeasures
In the evening, Qin Yan was walking back and forth in the Qin Mansion’s living room, his face all anxious.
Early this morning, the servant who had gone to deliver Han Li’s meal came to report that Han Li was surprisingly not in the house, as if he had not returned overnight. This caused this person to become greatly worried, he wasn’t worried about Han Li’s safety, but he was afraid that this bodyguard would suddenly leave without saying goodbye, how would this allow their Qin family to cope with the demonic path’s aggravation ah?
”Qin Ping, go see if Young Master Han has returned again, and report back as soon as you have any news!” Qin Yan ordered with some impatience.
”Yes, Master.” Qin Ping replied respectfully with joy in his heart. Then, in a flash, he ran out from the hall.
In his opinion, the more Qin Yan cared about this Young Master Han, the more it meant that he hadn’t hugged the wrong thigh, and it looked like the time for him to soar within the Qin Mansion was just around the corner.
”Why is your lordship being like this? It’s normal for young people to go out for a spin once in a while, why be so anxious and angry!” That Qin Yan’s most favored third wife was also in this hall, and although the words that came out of her mouth were words of justification for Han Li, the sour taste in her voice was still obvious.
This is no wonder, since Han Li to the Qin residence, the Qin family’s master always inch by inch to bring Han Li in the side, the original very favored some of the Qin family young masters and young ladies, but a no longer carry, which has this third lady’s children, now can not help but jealousy.
”Hmph, what does a woman’s family know?” Qin Yan of course heard the meaning of the third lady’s words, but his heart hangs on the life and death of the whole family, that still cares about these small matters of jealousy, after glaring at her, he no longer pays attention to it.
Qin Yan’s attitude naturally made this Third Lady feel even more aggrieved, but also knowing that this husband of his hated when women spilled their guts, he could only forcefully swallow this resentment and stopped speaking, but added a few more points of irritation to Han Li’s heart.
I don’t know how long, Qin Ping suddenly ran back with a happy face. And as soon as he entered the house, he shouted, ”Master, Young Master Han has returned, and has brought a few guests back to the house with him. Young Master Han wishes that your lordship would arrange for these people to stay close to his residence.”
Once Qin Yan heard this, his lifted heart was finally put back into his stomach, as long as this Great God didn’t leave without saying goodbye, not to mention bringing a few friends, even if he brought back a dozen or dozens of people. He wouldn’t even have any complaints.
”Since Xian Nephew Han said so, just let them stay at the nearby Qing Yin Courtyard. Don’t slow down Xian Nephew Han Li’s guests.” Qin Yan said without thinking, which caused that third madam’s face to look increasingly ugly.
”Yes, I’ll go and do it now!” Qin Ping once again ran out in a flurry of energy.
”Master, this is a bit improper! Our Qin Mansion is a large family, letting a few strangers suddenly live in. Isn’t it a bit too presumptuous!” The Third Mistress still couldn’t help but say carefully.
Her words weren’t entirely directed at Han Li anymore, but she truly felt a bit uneasy.
Qin Yan heard these words. He was slightly stunned, but after hesitating for a moment, he said with a wave of his hand, “It won’t be a problem, there won’t be any problems with Xian Nephew Han’s friend.”
Hearing Qin Yan dote on Han Li’s words so much, the Third Lady was completely speechless.
……
At this moment, Han Li was sitting on a chair in his residence with five other people sitting in front of him. It was none other than the Five Friends of Mengshan.
The youth among them was gushing about something, while the other few were occasionally adding a few sentences from the sidelines, and Han Li revealed a thoughtful expression.
On the wilderness land outside of Yuejing City, Han Li relied on his powerful divine sense and actually managed to erase the blood spells of the four people from earlier, and then he brought these people to sneak in to the only middle-aged woman who had stayed behind.
Surprisingly, they were able to pick her up very smoothly without the slightest difficulty. Though slightly surprised, Han Li similarly resolved the blood spell for her, and took them back to the Qin Residence with him.
In fact, it wasn’t impossible for these few people to find another place to stay, but Han Li did feel a bit uneasy about these few people.
In the absence of his own eyes, he can not guarantee that the five friends of the Mengshan Mountain will really be honest and their own common enemy, even if they have the grace of the curse, the hearts of the most difficult to predict ah!
Today he may be grateful to you, willing to die for you, but tomorrow may feel that his own life is more important, can do any ungrateful and despicable things, this Han Li is not surprised!
Moreover, they don’t have much of a bond with themselves, and most likely still value their own lives more!
Of course, if one were to similarly place a ban on them and use poison, it would not be impossible to forcibly control them. But if you do this, in their minds, I’m afraid they are no different from those people. A little bit of time would definitely suffer their backlash.
If only to leave a bad impression on the other side, Han Li would no longer almost use this means. But deep down, Han Li still has some other ideas.
If the seven sects really resisted the invasion of the Devil’s Way this time, and resumed their previous cultivation careers, Han Li planned to find some people who would specialize in helping him collect Dan formulas and medicinal ingredients. This way, he wouldn’t have to work so hard to run east and west, and could spend all of his time practicing hard, so his cultivation progress could definitely be greatly improved.
And this Mengshan five friends of the mana cultivation is not too weak nor much high, is the best suitable candidate. Therefore, Han Li did not intend to use some unseemly means to forcibly control them.
However, Han Li was also self-aware. Without enough benefits, it was the cultivators with even lower cultivation levels that would not give other cultivators the chance to be errand boys all the time, and he would have to contact these people for a while longer before he could be assured of what their hearts were really like. Everything would also have to wait for this matter to end before making a decision.
”…… Shame on you! The few of us up to now, apart from recognizing a few Immortal cultivators who are being held hostage like us, the real faces of the two people who are giving the orders haven’t seen half of them yet! We really don’t know much!” The youth smiled bitterly after finishing everything.
”It’s nothing, it’s already known that the other party is a cult called the Black Fiend Sect, and that the other party is capturing people mainly for the purpose of practicing evil arts, that’s enough.” Han Li smiled bashfully after hearing this.
”However, Senior Han! Are we just going to keep hiding here and wait for Hou’s reinforcements to come before we act.” The newly rescued middle-aged woman suddenly asked this tentatively.
Hearing this, the other four similarly revealed a concerned expression as they looked towards Han Li to see how he would answer this matter.
Han Li laughed coldly in his heart when he heard this, these few people all looked like they couldn’t wait to not have to come into contact with the Black Fiend Sect’s people anymore. However, the seven sects had no reinforcements to send! Now, in order to fight against the people of the Devil’s Way, even the strength of the remaining forces are greatly insufficient, he is trying to find a way to truthfully report up, surely there will not be any people to come.
But the good thing is that when he returned just now, he through the Yellow Maple Valley contacts within the Yuejing, to Li Huayuan went to a letter of request for assistance, will be the matter slightly told some.
The sect did not ask about this matter, but this master would not ignore it. He was the one who caused such a big trouble in order to do work for it, and he had to hold on for dear life and not run away! Otherwise, if he couldn’t afford to mess with it, he couldn’t afford to hide from it? Long ago slipped away!
But in the end there will be what reinforcements to come, Han Li really do not have much of a bottom, it is estimated that he will send him a few under the door of the brother of the heart of this thought, on the surface of the surface of the Han Li look relaxed back: “Of course not, at the very least, we should be in the reinforcements to come before, more to find out the other side of the stronghold and the situation of the important people, which can be a net. Otherwise, just staying in the Qin Mansion and waiting is a bit too passive. It also gives them time to track us down, which is bad for us. We must not allow the other party to set up everything with ease!”
Hearing Han Li’s words, the five friends of Mengshan looked at each other in dismay, while the black-faced old man stroked the beard on his chin and said in a hushed voice, “Senior’s words are very reasonable, but with just this bit of clues we have at hand, we simply won’t be able to catch their tails! The original stronghold where we stayed must have been abandoned by them, we seem to have nowhere to start!”
The tall and thin second man silently nodded his head in agreement.
”Don’t worry, from your descriptions of the two Black Fiend Cultists giving orders, I already know who those two are. As long as we capture them alive, we’ll be able to figure out more than half of the things about the Black Fiend Sect.” Han Li seemed to have anticipated this and said without panic.
These words caused a few people to first freeze, then they all revealed expressions of surprise, and had an even more inscrutable feeling towards Han Li!
”Good! Since Senior Han already has a plan, we’ll just do everything at Senior’s command.” The black-faced old man said flatly.
Hearing this, Han Li nodded in satisfaction.
”Take action tonight. Only the quicker we do it, the less wary the other side will be.” Han Li narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
”Tonight?” The five friends of Mengshan couldn’t help but all reveal a look of surprise.
