In the struggle between the common people and the officials, the Han Residence held a decent position in Flame Sun City. However, to thrive better in this small territory, maintaining a good relationship with the lord of Flame Sun City became crucial. In an attempt to curry favor with the lord, the elder of the Han Residence, Han Liu, made a foolish decision to promise his daughter, Han Xuan, in marriage to the lord's inept son, Qin Hu.
Unlike Wei Yang, Qin Hu was clearly the type of fool who was obsessed with beauty and had long dreamed of marrying Han Xuan. When he learned that Han Xuan was unwilling to marry him, he was filled with resentment and even sent people to keep watch at the Han family’s door.
When his subordinates reported that Han Xuan had returned with two men, Qin Hu's anger erupted. Without a second thought, he led a group of Town Enforcers into the Han Residence and headed straight for the courtyard where Han Xuan was. He sought trouble with Ye Huan, but unexpectedly, Han Xuan smashed a table to intimidate him. Furious, Qin Hu wished he could pin Han Xuan down right then and there to show her his power.
Noticing the expression in the fat man's eyes, Han Xuan stomped her foot in anger. With a swift motion, she produced a short sword and joined the fray. In just a few moves, she took down one of Qin Hu's Second-Level Warriors and charged at the next opponent, leaving Ye Huan watching from behind.
Wondering if he should help out, Ye Huan flipped through his Summoning Book. After scanning through it and finding only some firearms and grenades, he abandoned that idea. After all, this was the Han Residence; if someone were killed here, it would all fall on him. If that happened, how could he expect the Han family to help him find his own family?
Fortunately, the Han family had been established for a long time and had many skilled fighters. Upon hearing about the disturbance at their residence, several Professionals rushed to the scene and jumped over the walls. As soon as someone shouted to protect "the young lady," these Professionals immediately joined the battle.
"Capture these people alive!" As more of the Han family's experts arrived and after knocking out a sixth opponent, Han Xuan sheathed her short sword and gracefully stepped back from the fight. She quickly approached Ye Huan and coldly glared at Qin Hu.
Before long, aside from Qin Hu himself, all of his subordinates were tied up. Han Xuan walked over to Qin Hu and delivered a crisp slap across his face.
"You filthy bitch! How dare you hit me?" Qin Hu stared at Han Xuan in disbelief; his eyes nearly popped out of his head. It was no wonder—being the son of Flame Sun City's lord, he had never been struck by anyone before. His words turned increasingly foul as he spoke. Just then, an elderly man slowly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard—it was none other than Han Liu, the current head of the Han family!
Years ago, during battles against Huaxia Nation, Han Liu had built an impressive reputation on the battlefield and was bestowed with the title of General of Northern Pacification by the Southern Xiongnu Empire. One could only imagine how such a figure would react upon hearing someone insult his descendant.
In an instant, he left behind an afterimage as he appeared directly in front of Qin Hu and slapped him hard across the face. This slap was significantly heavier than what Han Xuan had delivered; it knocked out two of Qin Hu's front teeth, blood trickling from his mouth.
"Advanced Warrior?"
From behind everyone else, Ye Huan observed this newly arrived elder. Although he didn't know who Han Liu was, calculating that there were no less than six meters between him and Qin Hu made Ye Huan conclude that this man was undoubtedly an Advanced Warrior—one who could easily rival Ye Tian. Startled by this realization, Ye Huan instinctively summoned a Desert Eagle into his hand.
"Father?" "Uncle Han..."
Upon recognizing who had arrived, both Han Xuan and Qin Hu called out simultaneously—Han Xuan's face lit up with excitement while fear etched itself onto Qin Hu's expression.
“Uncle Han? You bring people to my old home and still call me uncle? Get lost! Go back and tell Qin Tian that the engagement with my daughter is off!” Han Liu's gaze was icy as he looked at Qin Hu, his posture straight and showing no signs of aging.
Upon hearing Han Liu's words, Qin Hu seemed to want to say something more, but when he saw Han Liu's expression, he could only swallow his words and cover his face as he walked out. However, he had barely taken two steps when Han Xuan added, “Wait, take your people with you.”
Turning back, Qin Hu shot a resentful glare at Ye Huan for some reason. Without saying a word, he gestured to his subordinates and left the courtyard like a defeated dog.
After Qin Hu left, Ye Huan clearly sensed that something was off. The reason was that aside from Zhang Ren, the formidable senior warrior Han Liu, Han Xuan, and the other professionals from the Han family were all looking at Ye Huan with curiosity.
Ye Huan could understand the worried look in Han Xuan's eyes, but he couldn't tolerate the inquisitive gazes from Han Liu and the other professionals. He tightened his grip on the Desert Eagle.
As if noticing Ye Huan's movement, Han Liu suddenly smiled and asked, “You are Ye Huan, Han Xuan's friend, right? A Fourth-Level Summoner?”
Nodding slightly, Ye Huan didn’t speak; in this situation, he didn’t know what to say.
“A summoner is quite a rare profession,” Han Liu said softly, almost to himself but also directed at Ye Huan. He then looked up and continued, “Stay in my Han family, and I promise you future glory and a bright path. What do you say?”
Feeling inexplicably drawn into someone else's plans made Ye Huan uneasy. He could only respond helplessly, “I’m sorry, I have no such intention.”
“No such intention? Then I can only say sorry; I can’t help you find your family anymore. Someone! Throw him out of the Han Residence!” Suddenly, Han Liu made a move, waving his hand to signal the professionals from the Han family to drag Ye Huan out.
Stunned by Han Liu’s words, Ye Huan doubted whether he had misheard. Hadn’t Han Xuan already promised to help him find his family? What was happening?
Unconsciously, Ye Huan turned his gaze to Han Xuan, hoping to get an answer from her.
To his disappointment, Han Xuan looked just as confused and even spoke up to Han Liu, “Father, didn’t we agree on this? What are you doing?”
“If he doesn’t agree to my request, then forget about anything else!” Pointing at Ye Huan with a smile directed at Han Xuan, Han Liu answered before turning away. A group of professionals from the Han family approached Ye Huan and seized his arms; Zhang Ren faced the same treatment.
At that moment, Ye Huan wanted nothing more than to use his Desert Eagle to blow Han Liu’s head off. But remembering Han Liu's status as a senior warrior, Ye Huan repeatedly told himself not to act impulsively. Suppressing the anger of being deceived, he transformed the Desert Eagle into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and returned it to the Summoning Book as he was dragged outside by those professionals along with Zhang Ren.
As Ye Huan's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Han Xuan could no longer bear the confusion in his heart. He turned to Han Liu and asked, "Father, what exactly are you doing? How am I supposed to face Ye Huan now?"
"Foolish child, don't you and your brother want to win over this fellow named Ye Huan? Think about it, in Flame Sun City, as long as we don't help him, who else can he turn to? Besides, did you notice that when Qin Hu just left, he looked at Ye Huan with a strange expression? Clearly, he has misunderstood him. Once Ye Huan leaves Han Residence, I can guarantee that Qin Hu will take out his grievances on him. By then, whether Ye Huan wants to come back or not, he will have to return!"
With a smile, Han Liu spoke as he walked outside. By the time he finished his last sentence, he had already left the courtyard, leaving Han Xuan alone to ponder over what Han Liu had just said.
After a long while, Han Xuan had to admit that experience does matter; what Han Liu had done was indeed the best way for Ye Huan to temporarily attach himself to the Southern Xiongnu Empire. Just thinking about how Ye Huan could stay in the Southern Xiongnu Empire brought a happy smile to Han Xuan's face.
However, could everything really go according to Han Liu's plan?
At the entrance of Han Residence, after being chased out by a group of professionals, Zhang Ren looked bewildered and exclaimed at Ye Huan, "Are we really just kicked out like this? Wasn't it pointless for Weiyang to go to Huaxia to find that Lin Yuyong?"
"I know, but what do you want me to do? Am I supposed to fight that old fellow?"
Glaring angrily at the plaque of Han Residence, Ye Huan felt an intense rage with nowhere to vent it. He sat down on the ground in frustration, for the first time strongly desiring greater power. If he had strength, he wouldn't have been driven out of Han Residence, and the Ye Family wouldn't have had to flee from the Huaxia Empire. Ultimately, it all came down to power! Only with power could he, Ye Huan, have more say in this world!
Understanding this point, Ye Huan stood up and turned in a specific direction. Seeing this, Zhang Ren was puzzled and called out to his back, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to become a Tenth Level Summoner!" With determined steps, Ye Huan slowly voiced a goal he had set for himself since arriving in this world.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren was taken aback and remained silent for a while before chasing after him. He didn't notice that not far from the entrance of Han Residence, a person with shifty eyes was watching them. Once they were far away, this person quickly ran toward the city lord's mansion...
