The middle-aged woman nodded in satisfaction and warned, "You'd better not play tricks on me, otherwise you will die a miserable death. Don't think he is sincere to you. Which of these children of the immortal cultivation families doesn't have many wives and concubines? You are still young now, so of course he will say that he will stay with you forever. But when you are old and ugly, he will not say that anymore."
"The younger generation understands and knows what to do."
Lu Yue agreed repeatedly with a respectful look.
If it were in the past, she would have believed it without a doubt, but after all these years of getting along, and with the existence of Han Xian, it was impossible for her to believe the other party's nonsense. From the beginning, she was just a pawn, and the other party was using her to murder Han Changjiong. When Han Changjiong died, that would be the time of her death.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, go back first!"
The middle-aged young woman waved her hand and ordered them to leave.
Lu Yue quickly agreed and bowed before leaving.
As soon as she left, a scholar with a fair face and a green robe walked out of a guest room with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"As we expected, she has really fallen in love. We must act as soon as possible. It doesn't matter whether we get rid of Han Changjiong or not. We just need to blame the Chen family for this. It will be fine as long as the Chen and Han families are at odds. If we continue to drag it out, I'm afraid she will betray us directly."
The scholar in green robes frowned and said, Lu Yue didn't dare to disobey before, but now he started to talk back, which is very telling.
In fact, they have been trying every means to deal with Han Changjiong, but they have not succeeded. Han Changjiong is very vigilant and his whereabouts are erratic, so they have not yet found an opportunity to attack him.
When Lu Yue returned to her residence, her face was full of worry. She could see that the other party had lost his patience and was going to take action against Han Changjiong in the near future.
In fact, ever since she confessed to Han Changjiong, Han Changjiong has become more vigilant and will not easily reveal his whereabouts. Even Han Dehao is not clear about Han Changjiong's whereabouts.
Not long after, Han Changjiong came back. Seeing Lu Yue with a worried look on her face, he frowned and asked, "Madam, what happened?"
Lu Yue sighed softly and told the whole story truthfully without hiding anything.
"Husband, there are spies around you. Besides, they can't hold their temper and are about to attack you."
Lu Yue's face was full of worry, which meant that Han Changjiong had been targeted. Apart from being a little lustful, Han Changjiong had never done anything to offend anyone. His enemies were either enemies of the Han family or competitors of the Han family.
Ever since Lu Yue confessed, Han Changjiong's first suspect was the Chen family. After all, the Chen and Han families were sworn enemies. However, the clan leader Han Zhangxiang denied this and believed that the real culprit behind the manipulation of Lu Yue was not the Chen family, otherwise the Chen family would not have suffered such heavy losses.
It is not ruled out that some other members of the Han family have been bribed, but they have not yet revealed their tracks.
Han Changjiong frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I understand. I will not leave the market in the near future. You should also be more careful and don't show your true colors."
He took out a green communication disk, typed in a spell, and made some gestures.
"Okay, don't worry too much. I have already sent someone to inform the clan leader. I believe the clan leader will handle this matter. It's fine if they don't take action. As long as they take action, it will be easy to handle."
Han Changjiong said slowly, his face full of murderous intent.
If conditions permit, you can lure the snake out of its hole.
Lu Yue nodded and sighed, "I don't know how Xian'er is doing? I don't know if he's been naughty."
"Don't worry! My sister-in-law will help us take good care of Xian'er. Let's get through this difficult time first."
Han Changjing smiled and comforted him.
······
Huludao, a quiet courtyard.
Han Changming's family was having dinner. They were all having a great time, with joyful expressions on their faces. Ye Xue was holding a chubby boy in her arms.
This is Han Changjing’s son Han Xian. For various reasons, Han Xian is temporarily handed over to Ye Xue for raising.
Han Changming looked Han Xian up and down and chuckled. Han Xian and Han Changjing could be said to be cut from the same mold.
"Xian'er's physique is a bit strong, but it's not good for him to be too strong, after all, he is still young."
Ye Xin was hinting at something. Han Benzhi and Han Benyong were not as strong as Han Xian when they were young.
Ye Xue smiled bitterly and explained, "This child has had this physique since he was young, and his appetite is also relatively large. I also want to control it, but he often says he is hungry."
Han Changjiong came back once in a while, and each time he came back he brought back some resources for cultivating immortals, such as spiritual grain elixirs and so on.
Of course, Han Xian, like Han Changjing, is prone to obesity. His parents are not in Huludao. Han Xian told Ye Xue that he was hungry, and Ye Xue couldn't just not give him food!
"You still have to be more restrained. After all, he is still young. It's not easy for Seventh Brother either. Xue'er, you have to work harder and take good care of Xian'er."
Han Changming reminded that Han Changjiong only had this one son, and Han Changjiong entrusted Han Xian to Ye Xue's care, so Ye Xue should take good care of Han Xian.
"I will. By the way, husband, you and sister should go to Qianhu Peak!"
Han Daohe's life span is not long, and he will probably pass away in the next few years. Han Changming and Ye Xin have been out for too long this time. Han Daohe often thinks about Han Changming and Ye Xin, fearing that he will not be able to wait for Han Changming and Ye Xin to come back.
Ye Xin didn't know about Han Daohe's existence. This time she followed Han Changming to the Jinlong Sea and brought back the Golden Elixir and Jade Liquid, and she had already gained the complete trust of the Han family. In fact, if she was not Han Daohe's granddaughter-in-law, she would have no right to know about Han Daohe's existence. Han Debiao even thought that Han Daohe had met with death.
"It's time to go to Qianhu Peak to take a look. Thank you for your hard work over the years, ma'am."
Han Changming held Ye Xue's thin hand tightly, his face full of tenderness.
To be honest, it is really not easy for Ye Xue to take care of Han Daohe, supervise the cultivation of Han Benfu and the other two, and also refine talismans to earn some spirit stones to supplement the family income.
"Hehe, Dad, Mom is recognized by the elders as a good wife and mother. Uncle Twelve and his friends often use Mom as an example and ask Aunt Twelve and the others to learn from her."
Han Benfu giggled, a smug look on her face.
Ye Xue has a gentle temper, respects the elderly and loves the young. If anyone has trouble, Ye Xue will help if she can. All the clan members like Ye Xue very much.
Ye Xue smiled dumbly and said sympathetically: "This is what I should do. There is nothing to brag about. Speaking of which, my sister and husband are the hardest working. It is not easy for you to work outside."
After they left the Red Algae Sea, they had to rely on themselves for everything, which made them not much different from independent cultivators.
Han Changming smiled slightly, put his arms around Ye Xin and Ye Xue, and said solemnly: "We are a family. Without anyone, this family is incomplete. It's not easy for anyone. We must help each other and go further on the immortal path together."
Ye Xin and others nodded at the same time, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
After dinner, Han Changming took Ye Xin to Qianhu Peak. On the way, Han Changming told Ye Xin about the existence of Han Daohe.
Ye Xin was extremely shocked to learn that Han Daohe was still alive.
"Husband, why didn't you tell me earlier! We've been married for so many years, and Benzhi and Benyong are already in their twenties, but I just learned about my grandfather's existence."
Ye Xin said with some resentment. She was not really blaming Han Changming. She had asked Han Changxin, and Han Changxin thought that Han Daohe was dead. Obviously, Han Daohe's existence was related to some secret matters and needed to be kept strictly confidential.
"This involves some secrets of our clan. Uncle Wu and Uncle Jiu don't know about it. Most of the clan members don't know about it. It's not intentional to hide it from you. Grandpa knows about your existence. He always told me that I am blessed to marry you and asked me to cherish you."
Han Changming explained with a wry smile that he had already made up his mind not to leave the Red Algae Sea within ten years and would wait until he saw Han Daohe off to his final resting place.
Not long after, they arrived at Qianhu Peak.
Han Changming used the token to open the ban and just in time saw Han Changxin walking down from the top of the mountain.
"Hey, Brother Nine, Sister Nine, you're back?"
Han Changxin has been staying in Qianhu Peak these days. She didn't know that Han Changming and Ye Xin were back.
Han Changxin is proficient in the art of planting. After entering the foundation-building stage, she is responsible for taking care of the many gourd vines on Qianhulu Peak.
She is currently a first-grade top-quality alchemist and has not yet been able to refine second-grade pills. Currently, only Han Changming and Han Changlu in the clan are able to refine second-grade pills. Without anyone to teach her, Han Changxin's progress is relatively slow.
Han Changming nodded and said, "We just came back today. Long time no see! Eighteenth sister."
After a few pleasantries, Han Changxin said, "Brother Jiu, I still have things to do. Please come to my place in a couple of days. I have some questions about alchemy that I would like to ask you."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work."
After watching Han Changxin leave, Han Changming and Ye Xin walked up the mountain.
Before long, they reached the top of the mountain and the Thousand Gourd Palace was not far away.
Ye Xin's curious eyes quickly swept across the Thousand Gourd Hall, but did not find any cultivators. The hall door was closed.
