118: Chapter 118 The Shock of Li Xuewei's Family
"Thank you, Brother Han Ming." After the few of them ran away, Lin Xiaoyu looked at Han Ming gratefully.
"It's nothing. Your brother and I are friends, so his younger sister is my younger sister." Han Ming patted her head and said with a smile.
He sensed her cultivation level; this girl was already an Eight-star Martial Artist, much stronger than the likes of Xie Yunpeng from the First High School back then.
"Brother Han Ming, how is my brother doing at Modu Martial Arts University?" Lin Xiaoyu's little face turned red, but she didn't shy away, looking up at Han Ming to ask.
Having just heard what Jiang Mingyue and the others said, she was a bit suspicious about whether her brother had really achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Ancestor.
"Don't worry! Your brother is doing great at school! He has already achieved a Breakthrough to Four-star Martial Ancestor, is ranked in the top ten among the freshmen at Modu Martial Arts University, and his talent has also been upgraded to A-grade." Han Ming saw what she was thinking and smiled as he told her about Lin Fan's situation.
"Really? My brother's talent has been upgraded to A-grade?" Lin Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised to hear this.
What her brother said was actually true; not only had he achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Ancestor, but even his talent had improved.
"Yes. This is something your brother asked me to bring back for you." Han Ming nodded and took out a Storage Ring from his Cave Heaven World and handed it to Lin Xiaoyu.
In fact, these were just some low-grade Medicinal Pills he had previously, which were of no use to him now, so it was perfect to give them to Lin Xiaoyu.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Han Ming." Lin Xiaoyu didn't think too much and took the ring.
"Well, if you encounter any problems you can't solve in the future, you can seek help from the Han Family." Han Ming gave her some more instructions before leaving with Ji Lingyue.
At the beginning, he had thought about binding Lin Xiaoyu, but now that he was at the Martial Emperor Realm, binding Lin Xiaoyu no longer had any significance.
Soon, the news of Han Ming standing up for Lin Xiaoyu and slapping Jiang Mingyue spread throughout Third Martial Arts High School.
"Did you hear? Just now at the school gate, Han Ming stood up for Lin Xiaoyu and slapped Jiang Mingyue flying with one strike."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Young Master Han to stand up for Lin Xiaoyu as soon as he came back. Could it be that he has taken a liking to Lin Xiaoyu?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Young Master Han used to like Li Xuewei."
"So what? He even liked Su Wanning before! Isn't it normal for a Genius with a background like Young Master Han to have a few women?"
"That's true. Lin Xiaoyu has flown up to the branches and turned into a Phoenix. I'll see if Jiang Mingyue dares to bully her in the future."
Lin Xiaoyu also heard the gossip from those people. Her face flushed, but she didn't refute it.
"Young Master, do you like that girl just now?" After separating from Lin Xiaoyu, Ji Lingyue looked at Han Ming and asked cautiously. Her tone felt a bit sour.
"No, she is the younger sister of a friend of mine, so I helped her out along the way. Why? Are you jealous?" Han Ming also heard the sourness in Ji Lingyue's tone, looked at her with interest, and teased her.
He was indeed not interested in the current Lin Xiaoyu; he still preferred someone more mature. For example, the Ji Lingyue before him, or his own Master, Teacher Xue Muhan.
"Yes, seeing Young Master being good to other women makes me feel uncomfortable." Ji Lingyue's little face turned red, and she didn't deny it.
However, seeing that Han Ming said he didn't like that girl, she felt much better.
Han Ming was slightly taken aback when he heard this; he didn't expect this little fox to be so direct.
But thinking that she was originally a Yao Beast and her way of communicating was different from humans, he felt relieved.
Moreover, because of the Soul contract, Ji Lingyue's thoughts could not escape his perception. He couldn't help but feel a bit more pity for this beautiful little fox and patted her silver hair: "Alright, let's go!"
"Young Master, where are we going?" Ji Lingyue also felt Han Ming's doting towards her, and she felt quite good, so she asked curiously.
"Going to visit a friend's house." Han Ming didn't explain and led Ji Lingyue towards an old building in the north of the city.
"Knock, knock, knock." Coming to a room door, Han Ming knocked gently. He didn't use his Divine Sense, but he had already sensed that there were three people inside.
"Who is it!" A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside, and as soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened with a "click."
"Who are you?" A plainly dressed middle-aged woman looked at Han Ming and Ji Lingyue. Seeing two young people she didn't recognize, she asked suspiciously.
"Auntie, hello! My name is Han Ming. I am a classmate of Li Xuewei. I just returned from Modu Martial Arts University and came back to see you on behalf of Li Xuewei." Han Ming looked at the woman who looked somewhat similar to Li Xuewei and said politely.
"Ah... You are Young Master Han? Quick, please come in! We heard Li Xuewei mention you before, but we didn't expect you to actually come."
Upon hearing that the person in front of her was Han Ming, Li Xuewei's mother was flustered and hurriedly invited the two inside.
Her daughter had often spoken about how Han Ming helped her at school and gave her a lot of resources. Later, she heard some deeds about the Han Family, which was an unattainable existence for ordinary people like them. She didn't expect that Han Ming would come to visit them in person today, which made her feel flattered.
Han Ming followed them into the room and took a simple look; it wasn't very big, just a normal three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.
There were two other people inside, who should be Li Xuewei's older brother and sister-in-law. Their Realm wasn't high; they were both Martial Artist strength.
Han Ming nodded at them, which counted as a greeting.
"Young... Young Master Han, h-hello!" The two also knew Han Ming's identity and hurriedly stood up, feeling restrained.
"Auntie, don't be so polite. I just stopped by to see you. Is there anything you need help with?" Seeing Li Xuewei's mother moving stools and pouring water, Han Ming stopped her and asked.
"No, there is nothing we need help with. We are all doing well. After Li Xuewei went to Modu Martial Arts University, the Alliance has taken good care of us. They arranged a good job for her father, and no one dares to bully our family."
Li Xuewei's mother waved her hands repeatedly, her face a mix of restraint and gratitude.
"Alright then. This is something Li Xuewei asked me to bring back for you. If you encounter anything you can't solve in the future, you can seek help from the Han Family."
Seeing them so restrained, Han Ming didn't want to stay too long. He took a Storage Ring from his space, placed it on the table, and after saying that, he left with Ji Lingyue.
"This... this, thank you, Young Master Han. Take care, Young Master Han." Li Xuewei's mother hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to accept it or not, but since Han Ming said it was from her daughter, she had to accept it and politely saw Han Ming out.
"Mom, quickly see what good things Young Master Han gave us!" After Han Ming left, Li Xuewei's sister-in-law looked at the space ring on the table with shining eyes.
"Didn't he say that Little Sister asked him to bring it back?" Li Xuewei's older brother scratched his head honestly and asked in confusion.
"Are you stupid! Li Xuewei just went to Modu to Cultivate, how could she have anything to bring back? She doesn't even have enough for her own Cultivation!"
"I heard before that this Young Master Han likes our Li Xuewei. The rumors are true. This thing must have been sent to us by him specifically." Li Xuewei's sister-in-law rolled her eyes at her husband and said.
"Alright, Yanzi is right. It's just that Han Ming's identity is unusual. The girl just now was even more beautiful than Li Xuewei. I don't know if it's good or bad if Li Xuewei follows him." Li Xuewei's mother said with a hint of worry on her face.
At this time, Li Xuewei's older brother, Li Feng, had already opened the space ring. Seeing the things inside, he was dumbfounded and shouted in shock: "This... how is this possible? Isn't this too much?"
