158: The Han family's plan

In the capital, the Han Family.

At this moment, the Han Family was holding a reception banquet.

This banquet could be described as bustling with guests, quite lively!

Originally, most people thought that when the Han Family directly confronted the Jiang Family, they were doomed to lose.

Unexpectedly, after being locked up for a few days, nothing happened,

Instead, they were appointed as the Left Prime Minister with real power by His Majesty, and were even directly designated as the sixth of the Ten Great Families!

The most dramatic thing was that the Jiang Family took the lead in coming to congratulate them!

Originally, you seemed intent on destroying the Han Family, scaring everyone away from them.

Goodness, now they've done a 180-degree turn and made up?

But no one dared to say anything; instead, they wanted to curry favor with the Jiang Family.

Today, the new rules for the Ten Great Families came down, making Jiang Haoyuan responsible for selecting the seventh to tenth ranked families.

What did this mean?

His Majesty was clearly encouraging people to be close to the Jiang Family!

Supreme power!

In any case, the protagonist in the venue at this moment was Han Yuan Yue.

Even the Sima Family, with whom the Han Family had already announced a break, also came.

After all, it was because of your matter that they offended the Jiang Family,

And after being locked up for three days, you didn't even make a peep!

If you don't come now and put on a show, who would dare to be close to you?

Sima Huai sat distractedly in a corner of the main hall, looking left and right, as if searching for something.

“Young Master, stop looking!”

“The Han Family has already sided with the Jiang Family. No matter what, you and Han Qian have no chance!”

The old man beside him advised.

Sima Huai shook his head and said seriously, “The Jiang Family is nothing but a clown; it won’t be long before the Sima Family will trample them underfoot!”

“At that time, the Han Family will naturally come back to us!”

“It’s fine for the Han Family to have a bit of a temper now…”

His voice suddenly trailed off, and he froze there.

Following his gaze, the old man saw a fleeting figure pass by in a hurry.

It was Han Qian.

Just then, the old man clearly felt an extremely gloomy Qi appear beside him.

“The Han Family truly has no backbone!”

“They actually chose to sacrifice a girl’s happiness for their own future!”

In the gritting of teeth, boundless rage seemed to be contained.

Sima Huai had visited the Han Family half a month ago to discuss matters concerning the position of Jiang Lin.

He accidentally saw Han Qian and became completely infatuated.

He had already thought of every method.

No matter what, he wanted to marry this girl!

But, it hadn’t even started yet, he hadn’t even spoken a word to her,

And she was already someone else’s?

Thinking of the situation a few days ago, Sima Huai’s face turned red, and he said fiercely, “I want Jiang Lin to die!”

The old man quickly advised, “Young Master, please don’t be impulsive. Jiang Lin is now the Director of the Demon Suppression Division, an official appointed by the court!”

“Now that our Sima Family has emerged, we must abide by those rules!”

Sima Huai’s expression continuously grew colder, saying, “I am not those idiots; I know what I’m doing!”

“I will kill him without anyone knowing, and no one will find any handle!”

“Let’s go, I don’t want to stay in this cowardly Han Family for another moment!”

The Han Family completely ignored the Sima Family’s departure, as if it were an insignificant matter.

And there was one person in the main hall who was very puzzled.

This person was the other of the Han Family’s Twin Stars, Han Wen.

He frowned tightly and asked in confusion, “Why are we so extreme? We could clearly waver between the Jiang Family and the Sima Family to gain more benefits!”

Han Renlao, who was beside him, shook his head, indicating that he also didn’t know.

It was just overnight,

The Han Family’s stance completely changed.

All the Family members who still sided with the Sima Family were exiled to the Nansha Islands.

They openly befriended the Jiang Family, showing clear signs of submission.

Moreover, Han Qian had already styled her hair today, the meaning of which was already self-evident.

Soon, Han Qian might no longer be seen!

She would slowly become Jiang Lin’s concubine.

After the banquet, in the Han Family Secret Realm.

Han Yuan Yue, the Han Family Patriarch, stood beside the short, stout Han Family Old Ancestor, Han Fu.

“Xi’er has truly been wronged!”

Han Fu’s eyes narrowed into a slit, and he sighed with emotion.

Han Yuan Yue replied, “From the looks of it, Jiang Lin won’t let Xi’er go anytime soon!”

Han Fu sighed, “It’s a good thing we haven’t taught Xi’er the ‘Mozi Organ Record’ yet, otherwise we might have lost both the wife and the army!”

Han Yuan Yue was startled and asked in surprise, “Old Ancestor intends to give up on Xi’er?”

Han Fu said helplessly, “I don’t want to either. It’s not easy for such a good plant-type Bloodline to appear, and to give it up just like that…”

“But the Mo Family’s ultimate techniques are absolutely not allowed to be cultivated by outsiders!”

“As soon as we retrieve the Ink Realm, we will start preparing to cultivate the next seedling!”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Han Yuan Yue’s eyes: “That’s the only way!”

Suddenly, he remembered something else and asked, “Old Ancestor, do you think the Jiang Family will discover those things inside the Ink Realm?”

Han Fu sneered, “How could that be? Apart from members of the Han Family, no one in the world can use that thing!”

“And once it’s unearthed, without the Han Family’s secret art, those divine wills in the world will definitely snatch it directly!”

“Besides, can the Jiang Family even enter the Ink Realm?”

“Even if they do, it’s full of mechanisms, and without the blueprints, even an Immortal would only find death!”

Han Yuan Yue nodded and then asked, “What about Xi’er then…”

Han Fu waved his hand, yawning, “Core Disciple status, but the original Heaven And Earth Treasure will no longer be supplied!”

“It’s not bad to have her stabilize the Jiang Family. With the help of the Jiang Family’s momentum, we can properly develop our Family’s external forces!”

“Then, when the time is right, we’ll use a grand method to retrieve the Ink Realm!”

…

Myriad Sins Island.

When Cai Yu left, her legs were trembling, and she could barely walk, barely managing to fly away and disappear into the sky.

“Young Master, she just left like that?”

Shangguan Yaoyao asked in confusion.

Jiang Lin smiled, “She was cultivated by the Light Society since she was young; I’m afraid she won’t leave the Light Society anytime soon!”

Shangguan Yaoyao pouted, “Then won’t Young Master have to save her every time?”

Shangguan Yaoyao probably didn’t even realize it herself at this moment,

She was constantly thinking from Jiang Lin’s perspective.

She would feel that Cai Yu was in the way because she wasted Jiang Lin’s time, she would think about doing everything perfectly, she would actively think about creating one surprise after another…

Many times, when she was doing a task, what she thought about was not the reward for the task,

But Jiang Lin’s shocked, emotional, and captivated expression upon completing the task, and the rising favorability in her mind.

Unknowingly, these things had made her fascinated from the inside out.

It had been a very, very long time since Xiao Dong’s shadow appeared in her mind…

Listening to Shangguan Yaoyao’s complaints, Jiang Lin explained, “No need. She can now use the Rakshasa Realm to teleport, and with the Rakshasa Demon Soldiers to cover her retreat, her life is basically safe!”

“Now, Qiao Ran can’t take her life!”

“Only a Body Integration stage setup can truly threaten her!”

Shangguan Yaoyao frowned, “Then what Young Master said earlier, about having the Light Society abandon her, isn’t that a distant prospect?”

Jiang Lin shook his head and said, “Rakshasa are naturally bloodthirsty. Before reaching tens of millions of demon soldiers in the Rakshasa Realm, she won’t be able to control her killing desire!”

“Even for a small matter, she will prioritize killing over anything else!”

Shangguan Yaoyao’s eyes lit up, and she quickly followed up, “In that case, the Light Society will only continuously offend external forces!”

“And when she loses control, she will even kill people from the Light Society!”

“By then, Young Master can also take advantage of the situation to kick the Light Society when it’s down, or even devour it!”

“Killing two birds with one stone!”

Jiang Lin stroked Shangguan Yaoyao’s head and smiled, “The Light Society is not that simple. Xiao Zhan back then was just a spokesperson; there are many deeper terrors!”

“Let’s go, back to the capital!”

Shangguan Yaoyao suddenly remembered something and said, “Young Master, you go back first. Yao’er plans to return to the Shangguan Family to get some things for Young Master, to make up for the Materials I promised Young Master for achieving Nascent Soul previously!”

Jiang Lin asked in confusion, “Return to the Shangguan Family?”

Shangguan Yaoyao nodded, “Yes, it’s a good time while Shangguan Youyou is in the capital. I’ll go back so she doesn’t say I affected her star luck when we meet!”

Jiang Lin nodded.

That also made sense!

“Then you go. Resources aren’t too scarce now, so prioritize safety!”

Hearing Jiang Lin’s concern, Shangguan Yaoyao felt an inexplicable happiness in her heart.

“Okay, Yao’er will be careful!”

“Young Master, save Acquired for Yao’er, I want the whole day!”
