148: Can’t say, dare not say!

Hearing Han Fu's question, Han Qian eagerly said, "From a young age, Old Ancestor and Father have doted on Xi'er!"

"All resources were prioritized for Xi'er!"

"Especially when that bully Jiang Lin wanted to take over Xi'er, pushing the entire Han Family to such a desperate situation, Old Ancestor still told Xi'er to protect herself and not care about the outside world!"

"The Han Family's kindness to Xi'er is as heavy as a mountain; Xi'er will never forget it!"

Han Fu nodded, his eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at Han Qian, saying very seriously, "Now the Han Family is facing a catastrophe; Xi'er needs to make some sacrifices. Are you willing?"

Han Qian replied without hesitation, "I am willing, Old Ancestor. Please tell me, what do you want Xi'er to do?"

Han Fu turned around, no longer looking at Han Qian, and his voice was slightly gloomy as he said, "Go accompany Jiang Lin..."

Upon hearing this, Han Qian's body trembled, somewhat disbelieving her own ears.

Old Ancestor wants her to accompany Jiang Lin?

No, originally, when her father and clansmen were all captured,

Old Ancestor had repeatedly warned her to protect herself!

Now her father and clansmen are back!

Why does she have to go accompany that scoundrel?

Although, for her mother and the Han Family's female relatives, she had already given herself to Jiang Lin,

She still didn't understand.

What exactly made her most doting Old Ancestor choose to push her into the fire pit?

Suddenly, she remembered what Jiang Lin had said when she left the Jiang Family in the morning:

"Tonight, I want to try a different flavor..."

A chill couldn't help but surge from the bottom of her heart.

He already knew it would be like this!

She simply couldn't escape his grasp...

Then she thought of yesterday, when Jiang Lin readily agreed to release the people and even promised to return the supplies!

He tricked her into opening her heart, making her use all her strength to serve and please him...

Jiang Lin, you truly are a scoundrel!

After a long while,

Han Qian bit her lip, saying somewhat mournfully, "Can I know why?"

She had already decided in her heart to accompany Jiang Lin.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time!

For the sake of the Han Family, she was willing to sacrifice everything!

The reason she asked was simply to know the reason; she wanted to see some hope in her despair.

Han Fu shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I can't tell you!"

"It's not even allowed to be spoken!"

"Once it's spoken, the Han Family will immediately be ruined!"

Han Qian was startled, stuttering slightly, "Not even in the Secret Realm?"

Han Fu gave a bitter smile and said, "You were born in an era of restraint, so it's normal for you not to know!"

"You haven't seen the great era of cultivation; you don't know the power of the Great divine and the Great Terror!"

"Some things, once we speak them, will be perceived and targeted by those existences, and the Han Family will surely be finished!"

Han Qian's heart trembled.

What exactly is it?

It's actually related to the Great divine and the Great Terror?

What Jiang Lin holds is actually such a secret of the Han Family!

Han Qian still tried to struggle, saying, "Didn't they say that those existences have all been annihilated by the three great immortal calamities, the 'River of Time'?"

Han Fu shook his head, self-mockingly, "How could such existences be willing to just disappear like that?"

"They have always been waiting for an opportunity to revive and descend upon the world!"

"Xi'er, you know the Han Family's expectations for you!"

"The so-called 'Han Family's Twin Talents' was merely to conceal your abilities!"

"Although there's been a slight accident now, this is only temporary!"

"For cultivators, some things don't need to be too concerned about; it's merely superficial!"

"Jiang Lin is just for a temporary desire; maybe things will be fine in a few days!"

Han Qian's eyes dimmed, and she already knew what her future life would be like.

She could only wait for Jiang Lin to get tired of her and discard her.

"I understand, Old Ancestor. For the Han Family, I am willing to accompany Jiang Lin..."

......

Sima Family.

Beside the brazier,

Sima Changfeng was dressed in mink fur, his face deathly pale.

"Luo Tang, she... she has lost her autonomous will!"

"The Sima Family's blood altar has completely disconnected from her!"

Looking at the bell that had turned to dust in his hand, he trembled all over, and his eyes began to fill with bloodshot lines.

"Who?"

"Who is it?"

"I will make them wish they were dead!"

The next moment,

A terrifying Aura appeared in the enormous palace.

The fire in the brazier danced wildly, as if extremely agitated and restless, and as if greatly terrified.

Just then,

A white-haired, hunched old man, leaning on a Dragon-coiled staff, quickly appeared in the space and cast a spell.

Below the entire main hall, a Formation suddenly lit up, continuously sending white light towards Sima Changfeng.

"Feng Shi, do not be angry. As long as Young Miss Luo Tang is not dead, there is still a chance!"

Bathed in the white light, the bloodshot lines in Sima Changfeng's eyes gradually receded, and his Aura also slowly diminished.

"Didn't Dragon Zhiyang say to let us emerge?"

The voice rang out, and it was even colder than the Extreme Cold Land outside.

Hearing Sima Changfeng's words, the middle-aged man who had been cowering in the corner immediately stepped forward and replied, "Yes, Feng Shi!"

Sima Changfeng's eyes were like venomous snakes as he said, "Starting tomorrow, my Sima Family will announce our emergence!"

"We will establish our main Family in Liangyuan Province, let Sima Yi serve as the secular Family Head, and have him meet Dragon Zhiyang!"

"My Sima Family can help him resolve the Cloud Marsh matter, but we require the use of the Celestial Mystery Pavilion once!"

"Luo Tang, wait for me. Soon, I will be able to rescue you..."

His voice grew weaker and weaker, as if the speaker had fallen asleep.

A quarter of an hour later, the faint voice sounded again.

"How are things on the Han Family's side? Lend them a hand!"

"When the Sima Family officially emerges later, their support will make things much more convenient..."

The person reporting paused slightly, then said tremblingly, "The Han... the Han Family is already fine, but the Han Family has announced a complete break... a complete break with my Sima Family, and all those in the Han Manor who were close to the Sima Family have also been exiled to the Nansha Islands!"

"Cough, cough cough!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Changfeng coughed several times, then said calmly:

"Han Fu is not a fool. Jiang Lin clearly just wanted to establish his authority; it won't last long, and he wouldn't dare to make a big fuss. The Han Family just needs to endure and suffer a little. "

"My Sima Family is not petty; we will definitely compensate him!"

"Breaking ties at this time is too irrational. There's more to this than meets the eye. Go investigate!"

"However, this matter is harmless. It's just a Han Family; later, they would only be a burden anyway!"

"Let them be!"

......

Imperial Palace.

Dragon Zhiyang lay on the Dragon Throne, and after listening to the eunuch's report, he asked:

"Has the Han Family been released?"

Eunuch Rong quickly said, "They have been released. After Your Majesty issued the imperial decree to Director Jiang, Director Jiang released everyone the very next day."

Dragon Zhiyang smiled with satisfaction, "I like smart people like Jiang Lin, but this matter was still too excessive. We need to compensate the Han Family!"

"After all, the Han Family is a thousand-year-old Family; we still need to save face!"

Eunuch Rong smiled, "Your Majesty, Director Jiang has submitted a letter of commendation, aiming to praise the Han Family for cooperating with the Demon Suppression Division in uncovering the secrets of the Dark Demonic Calamity!"

Dragon Zhiyang laughed, "Jiang Lin also thinks it was too much? That's not like his usual actions!"

Eunuch Rong's face showed a surprised expression, "Your Majesty truly sees into people's hearts! It was Right Chancellor Jiang who wrote it for his son!"

Dragon Zhiyang glanced at the letter of commendation, shook his head, and smiled, "A letter of commendation is not enough!"

Then, he looked to the west and changed the subject, "I heard that Old Ancestor Zhang's Lifespan only has one month left?"
