“You don’t need to worry about this matter.”

Han Li waved his hand, encouraged Han Shigao a bit, and after rewarding him, Han Shigao left contentedly, his face flushed with joy.

Of course, such a matter required his personal attention!

If he sent a Guest Elder from Myriad Phenomena Realm, Han Li was certain that Lin Xiao would definitely be able to escape. Didn’t having that kind of capability make one deserving of the title ‘Child of Destiny’?

……..

Meanwhile, in the Da Liang Empire.

In a range of endless mountains, Lin Xiao, who had betrayed his Sect and escaped from the pursuit, hid here to heal his wounds.

He was only in the mid stages of the Hollow Void Stage, but his body was used by someone to fight against two Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Although he didn’t suffer any external injuries, he did sustain some internal ones.

“Hu~”

After circulating his Cultivation Technique through many heavenly cycles and successfully resolving his internal injuries, Lin Xiao’s breathing returned to its peak condition, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Tian Ya Sect!”

The thought of his beloved Sister Qingxuan being forced to marry an old ancestor from Han Mansion ignited a fiery blaze in Lin Xiao’s eyes, and rage surged within him.

“I won’t let you go!” Lin Xiao whispered fiercely.

When he rose to power, he vowed to personally destroy Tian Ya Sect. He even hated Chengsheng Mountain and Han Mansion; if not for the lecherous old ancestor of Han Mansion, the higher-ups of Tian Ya Sect wouldn’t have thought about offering up a girl in exchange for great benefits.

After standing quietly for a while, Lin Xiao prepared to leave. He needed to gather information and find out when Tian Ya Sect’s wedding procession would leave and what route they would take to Chengsheng Mountain.

Only then could he seize the opportunity to ambush them on their way and unexpectedly whisk away Sister Qingxuan.

“Stop!” A voice suddenly echoed in Lin Xiao’s mind.

Lin Xiao halted and said discontentedly, “Brother Hu, even you won’t help me?”

Brother Hu was his closest companion, who had accompanied him in his growth up to this point. His achievements today could be said to be inseparable from Brother Hu.

“Sigh~”

A sigh emerged from Lin Xiao’s chest where, if one were to strip away the clothing, a mark could be found, beautifully crafted like a small Jade Talisman.

Following that, the mark of the Jade Talisman glowed, and a hazy figure appeared beside Lin Xiao, that of a handsome young man dressed in yellow and white garments.

“Lin Xiao, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. Do you really know what you’re doing?” the handsome young man said gravely to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao snorted, “Of course, I do.”

Seeing his disgruntled face, the handsome young man gave a bitter smile and said with seriousness, “Lin Xiao, you don’t understand.”

“If you go through with this bride snatching, you will undoubtedly offend Tian Ya Sect and Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain. This is simply foolhardy.”

“Tian Ya Sect is not much of an issue; I can protect you. But as for Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain, that’s a different story. That Han Li, he’s the reincarnation of an old monster and is stronger than I was at my peak.”

“Brother Hu, you’re overthinking it. I’ll make my move before Tian Ya Sect’s wedding convoy leaves the Da Liang Empire, then flee far away with Sister Qingxuan. If it really comes to it, we’ll just take refuge in the territories of Yinyang Sect or Kurong Sect. Would Han Li dare to come after me to kill me then?”

“Tian Ya Sect wants to form a marital alliance with Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain. If the bride doesn’t reach them, it’s no big deal to Han Li. Besides, Han Li has countless wives and concubines, surely he won’t miss Sister Qingxuan.”

Lin Xiao shook his head confidently. He had already thought it through and felt that Han Li probably wouldn’t pursue him. Even in the worst-case scenario, if he just fled into the territories of Yinyang Sect or Kurong Sect, he would be fine.

“Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, Han Li is not as simple as you think,” the handsome young man continued to persuade.

“Despite Han Li’s low profile, he conceals great depth. His strength is definitely not just mid True Martial Realm, and his actions are notoriously ruthless. Just take Dugu Bing as a warning. We really can’t afford to provoke him now.”

“With Han Li taking so many wives, even powers of the True Martial Realm try to ingratiate themselves with him. It has never gone wrong. If you go through with this bride-snatching, it would be a slap in his face, and Han Li will not let you off easily.”

Seeing that Lin Xiao was dismissive and not taking his words to heart, the handsome young man sighed helplessly and decided to try a different angle. He said again,

“Lu Qingxuan doesn’t even like you. No matter what you do, it’s useless. Otherwise, why didn’t Lu Qingxuan speak up before?”

“She’s afraid to speak…” Lin Xiao said with less conviction.

“Marrying into Han Mansion on Chengsheng Mountain was Lu Qingxuan’s idea to begin with. She wanted to use it as a springboard to attempt breaking into the True Martial Realm. If you snatch her away, she will definitely not follow you but will hate you instead for your willful obstruction,” the handsome young man sighed.

Ever since he became bonded with Lin Xiao through the Jade Talisman, he had always been with Lin Xiao, residing within the Jade Charm Space, silently observing the outside world from within.

As the saying goes, those directly involved can’t see as clearly as those watching. From his observations, Lu Qingxuan indeed had no feelings for Lin Xiao; it was all one-sided on Lin Xiao’s part.

Lin Xiao was naive and fell for Lu Qingxuan at first sight, and her mere conversation with him caused his feelings for her to grow continuously.

He had told Lin Xiao this before, but Lin Xiao hadn’t taken him seriously, so he did not press further. After all, once Lin Xiao grew up, he would be capable of winning his ladylove.

But now, things are different, little brother.

Lin Xiao’s face turned red and his fists clenched. He wanted to argue back, but he felt so powerless. The truth was exactly as Brother Hu described.

Lin Xiao opened his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke, “That was before. Now that I have shown my strength and potential, Sister Qingxuan will choose me, because I can provide her with a better future.”

Even though Han Li is a reincarnated powerhouse, the True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, his future would at most revert to his peak strength, reaching the heights of a Tongxuan Realm power.

With Han Li already having countless wives and concubines, Lu Qingxuan won’t be given much attention if she marries into his household, and whether she can be trained into the True Martial Realm by Han Li remains uncertain.
