Translator: 549690339

As for his senior apprentice sister, he had no choice but to take care in advance.

“All right then.”

Han Li glanced at Gongsun Yun, his eyes hinting at an unfathomable smile.

After another forty minutes, Han Li patiently waited for Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Yun to finish speaking. Gongsun Yun, as a father, kept giving instructions, which made Han Li want to say:

“Father-in-law, please be assured, your son-in-law will take good care of the senior apprentice sister.”

When their conversation ended, Han Li flicked his sleeve, enveloping Gongsun Yue and vanishing from sight.

Almost two hours had passed since they left Chengsheng Mountain. Han Li was feeling homesick for his loving wives and beautiful concubines at home. It had been a long time since he had been away from Han Mansion for so long.

Traveling at lightning speed, Han Li flew at his fastest pace. He could now traverse 390,000 miles in the blink of an eye, incredibly swift.

Gongsun Yue was only at the peak of Gangyuan Realm, her body too delicate to withstand such vigorous fast travel. Han Li continuously protected her with his Divine Yuan, lest she accidentally die en route.

Gongsun Yue had wanted to communicate with this senior, to inquire about his name, background, and other details, asking where they were heading, and how to address him… But the senior never gave her a chance to speak.

All she could feel was the scenery outside changing at breakneck speed, covering vast distances in the blink of an eye. Without the protection of a Divine Yuan barrier, Gongsun Yue felt she would have been torn apart by the Gang wind instantly.

Gongsun Yue could tell that this senior seemed eager to return, fully focused on the journey and not in the mood to speak with her. Thus, she patiently waited, planning to ask her questions once they arrived at their destination.

She also wanted to know the background of this senior. Perhaps upon reaching the destination, everything would become clear.

Soon, the two descended on a majestic and uniquely scenic mountain peak. Gongsun Yue looked at the landscape and the bustling crowd within these mountains with a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.

Where was this place, after all?

Gongsun Yue sneaked a peek at the senior with his back to her, and carefully released her Spiritual Sense, attempting to listen to the conversations of the people below to figure out their location.

As she listened for a while, her expression suddenly became odd, and then more and more astonished. Her bright eyes filled with disbelief, and in her heart, a very bold speculation took shape.

Could this senior in front of her be Han Li?

Her Spiritual Sense had seen the stone stele of Han Mansion and heard the conversations of Han Mansion’s people. They mentioned that the most powerful person in Han Mansion was Old Ancestor Han, though no one mentioned his full name.

Furthermore, she overheard some familiar names while in a certain region of Chengdao Peak, only some of them, like Yueyao, Mingmeng, Yuexin, and so on.

She had seen those names before when she collected information on Han Li. She knew that Han Li had many concubines, including names like Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, and others.

Moreover, the title “Old Ancestor Han” seemed to have been recorded in the intelligence as well, a term of reverence used for Han Li by those from Lingjun City.

Gulu~

Gongsun Yue swallowed nervously. She felt her speculation might very well be true.

It couldn’t be a coincidence that this senior held the same surname as Han, was revered as Old Ancestor Han, and shared the same names of some concubines, could it?

Such coincidences did not exist in this world.

Although this senior did not look the same as Han Li and appeared to be of a different age, Gongsun Yue knew these things could be disguised.

If it were Han Li, it would also explain why he came to assist Tianxuan Mountain, escorted Tianxuan Mountain to Qitian Teaching, and was reluctant to accept her as his disciple.

However, if he was Han Li, why would he take her as a maid and bring her back to Han Mansion?

Gongsun Yue felt a flurry of anxiety. With various conjectures flooding her mind, she took several deep breaths to compose herself before cautiously asking:

“Are you… Han Li, Junior Brother Han?”

Gongsun Yue fixed her gaze on the figure ahead, her heart pounding. She didn’t know what she was hoping for.

“Senior apprentice sister, you’re well, I see.”

Just as Gongsun Yue’s heart was in her throat, Han Li spoke with a smile and turned to face her, looking at this strikingly beautiful senior sister with purple hair and a purple dress.

Gongsun Yue’s pupils shrank abruptly, her stunningly beautiful face filled with shock, her bright eyes brimming with disbelief as she fell into a daze.

Although she had already speculated, Han Li’s confession of identity still gave Gongsun Yue an immense shock, indeed a great surprise to her.

She couldn’t help but recall the only time she had met Han Li, after she had visited him several times, and Han Li had met her only out of impatience.

She also thought of the words her father, Gongsun Yun, had said to her. Indeed, Gongsun Yun had an excellent eye, considering Han Li was indeed the best choice to inherit Tianxuan Mountain.

In just a short decade or so, Han Li had cultivated from the Peak of Gangyuan Realm to the True Martial Realm, crossing over numerous Big Realms such as the God Refining Realm, Hollow Void Stage, and Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Han Li’s strength within the True Martial Realm was also extremely strong; otherwise, he could not have heavily injured that Yinyang Sect’s True Martial Realm Emperor Wu with just a few sword strikes, forcing him to flee in a sorry state.

In just over a decade, he had reached the pinnacle of Xuan Domain, becoming one of the top ten superpowers; what exactly was Han Li’s method of cultivation?

Wasn’t he the old ancestor known for taking concubines frequently, wasting his cultivation? Yet, Han Li’s cultivation speed was terrifying, and if he had cultivated seriously, wouldn’t he have broken through to the Divine Yuan Realm or even higher realms by now?

Gongsun Yue took a deep breath and then exhaled, her red lips opening and closing several times, yet she didn’t know what to say.

Remembering how she had once thought Han Li had too low a cultivation and was not suitable to inherit Tianxuan Mountain, and did not qualify to be taken as her father’s personal disciple, Gongsun Yue felt embarrassed, her beautiful face blushing with shame.

Thinking of her past evaluations and opinions of Han Li, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Han Li was no mediocre individual; he was a prodigy whose talent shone brightly in Xuan Domain, whose speed of realm advancement broke the record in both Xuan Domain and Qianyuan Divine Province, by many multiples.

After a long while, Gongsun Yue’s emotions finally calmed somewhat, and she asked, “Han… Junior Brother, why didn’t you tell father the truth?”

With Han Li’s current strength, there was no need to hide any longer; he could have acted under his real identity, but Han Li had always hidden it, not revealing a thing to Gongsun Yun.

Looking at this somewhat naive senior sister, Han Li shook his head slightly and said, “It’s not that I didn’t want to, but that I couldn’t.”

He had many enemies, both overt and potential, and with his current strength, he was still unable to contend with them, naturally, he could not expose his identity.

Otherwise, it would bring great disaster to Han Mansion and Tianxuan Mountain and would become a vulnerability for him.

As long as the enemy did not know his true identity, they wouldn’t know his vulnerabilities, hence couldn’t exploit them against him.

Han Li still preferred to remain low-key, using alts to act out was fine, but his identity must never be exposed.

“Then why did you tell me?”

After hesitating, Gongsun Yue still asked the question, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. Why did Han Li tell her all this? Could it really be what she thought?

Her innocent senior sister’s thoughts were clearly written on her face, and seeing this, Han Li said earnestly, “It’s just as you imagined.”

Gongsun Yue’s beautiful face flushed with two blossoms of red, as she lowered her head, appearing somewhat at a loss.

She had previously guessed why Han Li had made her disguise as a maid to follow him, and she hadn’t expected her guess to be correct.

In the past, she naturally looked down upon Han Li; she disliked his womanizing ways, especially since her father took him as a personal disciple and had great expectations for him, yet he did not strive for progress, and indulged in pleasures of the flesh, which made Gongsun Yue frustrated.

But now Han Li’s strength and his actions had caused Gongsun Yue’s heart to flutter.

Han Li, now a highly skilled and top-ranking Emperor Wu within the True Martial Realm, had saved everyone on Tianxuan Mountain, and it seemed he also had feelings for her…

Additionally, Han Li was handsome and to her preference, giving her one more reason to favor him.

As the famous old ancestor known for taking numerous concubines, Han Li knew this was the perfect opportunity to capture her heart. The naive and pure senior sister had undergone such upheavals, and her heart was now open to him.

“Senior Sister, do you remember the words I once said to you?”

PS: I’m speechless; I was just writing when a friend messaged me that my book had been plagiarized on another site, with identical chapter titles and content, directly copied and pasted.

This is just too damn infuriating!
