“Chief Yue, long time no see.”
Zhang Han gave him a slight smile and landed beside him. He studied him briefly and suddenly said, “It turns out that you were not half a step away from the Elixir. Chief Yue, you are more mysterious than I had thought.”
“There’s no mystery to talk about.” Yue Wuwei looked at the waterfall, caressed his beard, and said calmly, “Riding the wind, there I would fly, Yet I’m afraid the crystalline palace would be too high and cold for me.”
In response to Yue Wuwei’s refined elegance, Zhang Han replied faintly, “Following your heart is the most real you can be. How can there possibly be so many shackles in this world?”
“But sometimes, you can’t help it. There are very few people who can be as carefree as you.” Yue Wuwei chuckled, then he turned around. He looked at Zhang Han with a calm gaze and said, “Your progress is very intense, just like how you can’t see through me, I can’t see through you as well.”
“Is that a compliment?” Zhang Han said with a smile.
He sensed that Yue Wuwei was most probably a real cultivator and his potential was unknown.
Last time, he was able to sense a bit of his potential, but now, Yue Wuwei was as mysterious as at the bottom of the sea. He could not sense his potential.
That made Zhang Han feel as if he was talking to an old friend.
“As I travel across the world, I was interested in Immortal King Zhang’s talent when I saw him the last time. It is really something else for someone to be this strong in this secular world. And you, Zhang Hanyang, in my opinion, you’re the best I’ve seen in the past hundred years.” Yue Wuwei said slowly, “Do you know of some secrets about this place?”
“Oh?”
Zhang Han was shocked for a moment and he said in a low voice, “Are you talking about Saint Warrior Planet?”
Yue Wuwei’s gaze flickered.
“It seems that I have underestimated you.”
“Me too,” Zhang Han responded.
“Hahahaha…”
Yue Wuwei laughed heartily. When he retraced his smile, he suddenly said, “Your wife is very special, I think she is more mysterious than you.”
“Really?” Zhang Han’s heart skipped a beat and he did not say too much. He could talk more about himself, but he did not want others to find out Zi Yan’s secret.
Unfortunately, there were still some people who knew about the boat of curse.
“The boat of curse has been active for a hundred years. I didn’t expect that it would eventually recognize Zi Yan as its master. After all, it’s an Ancient curse roc!” Yue Wuwei sighed softly.
Zhang Han remained silent.
“Your child’s aptitude may also be very good. Why don’t you plan to involve Mengmeng in cultivation?” Yue Wuwei asked casually as if they were just chit-chatting about their family.
“She’s not in a hurry. We’ll talk about it in a few years’ time.” Zhang Han shook his head with a smile. “Are you planning to leave?”
“I’m not leaving. I’m just going out to take care of something.”
“Go out?”
“To the Cultivation World?” Zhang Han asked.
“No.” Yue Wuwei shook his head. “It seems that you know more than I had thought. Your eyes are very sharp. In that case, I’ll have to remind you of this.”
Speaking until here, Yue Wuwei became silent for a long while. Then, he looked at the waterfall again. The floating water vapor formed a small rainbow.
He said slowly, “There are some things where you need to know where to draw the line. The shackles of this world are difficult to break through even at the Heaven Peak Stage. I don’t think it’s a problem for you, but I still trust you. I rarely see cultivators who care so much about their families. You are an alien, but you are one that I am very optimistic about. Your opportunity to breakthrough should probably be in the Ancient Mine. That is where the real danger is. The talents of today, such as those on the Divine List, are also very promising. When they enter the Ancient Mine in the future, their cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds. Danger and opportunity coexist. But I think that the Ancient Mine is not going to pose as a problem for you at all. Let me remind you, be careful of some people inside, for they are very difficult to deal with.”
“Oh, the Ancient Mine? I won’t go there for the time being.” Zhang Han nodded.
He had several questions in his heart, but he did not ask them. There were some things that should be kept to himself.
This was especially so for the Saint Warrior Planet that had been sealed. Who did it?
Could this be the rite of some powerful figure? Or his back garden?
If it was true, then what kind of role was Yue Wuwei playing here?
He specifically mentioned the Ancient Mine, so what secrets were in there? Needless to say, Zhang Han knew that the Ancient Mine was the manifestation of the Saint Warrior Planet. There must be a lot of opportunities and spirit treasures in it.
All of these did not matter. It seemed that Yue Wuwei was reminding him that he should break through the Heaven Peak Stage after the Innateness Last-Stage? Apparently not.
Perhaps he was saying that if he broke through to a higher level, he would pose as a threat to the seal of the Saint Warrior Planet?
Zhang Han thought that it should be the latter. Although his conversation with Yue Wuwei was rather relaxed, both of them still had their own secrets and no one would reveal the secret in the bottom of their hearts.
“Right now, I really want to accompany Mengmeng as she grows up. Because of this, I have been very tolerant of some things.”
A trace of coldness emerged on the corners of Zhang Han’s lips.
“Now I can’t do anything about them. Soon, even if they don’t come, I will still take time off to find them. I just want to lead a peaceful life, but those people always don’t go according to what I want, so… anyone who stands in my way will have to die.”
This sentence expressed his attitude. “You may remind me that I should not go too far in some things, but my attitude is going to be firm. If anyone dares to provoke me in the future, I will kill him without hesitation. By then, do not say that I did not treat you with respect.”
It was considered as a warning in advance. Zhang Han could feel that Yue Wuwei was different. In addition to his kindness, he still said what he had to say.
“I know.” Yue Wuwei burst out laughing. “What has the life and death of those people have to do with me? People live their lives anyhow they like, and I, Yue Wuwei…”
“It’s almost time. My daughter may wake up soon. I have to go now.”
Zhang Han did not have the luxury of time to listen to Yue Wuwei’s sentimental speech. After informing, he rose into the air directly and flew quickly to Li Jiang.
He left behind a dumbfounded Chief Yue.
Looking at Zhang Han’s back view, he remained silent for a long while. Finally, he shook his head and smiled.
“Interesting fella.”
After that, he stretched out his right hand and waved it casually. A door appeared in front of him, and he entered it in a flash. After he disappeared, the door slowly dissipated.
If Zhang Han had seen this scene, he would have figured out something.
Zhang Han went home very quickly.
It seemed that he was eager to return home. Just like that, he arrived at the hotel room.
When Mengmeng saw Zhang Han, she immediately stopped drinking her milk. She stood on the ground with her bare feet and stuck her hands on her waist.
She pouted and said, “Humph! PaPa, why did you go out again? I’m not happy. I cried just now, but no one cared.”
Zi Yan’s face almost darkened after hearing this.
No one cared? I simply could not stop you!
After thinking about it, Zi Yan rolled her eyes at Zhang Han. “Take care of this mess you have caused.”
Hence, Zhang Han replied with a look. Easy!
“Oh my little darling.”
Zhang Han reached his right hand to his back and took out an ice cream cone that Mengmeng liked.
“I just went out to buy ice cream for you. I was thinking that the atmosphere here is quite good. After having breakfast, we can then have some ice cream. Am I right? I saw that Mengmeng was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you up. Otherwise…”
In just half a minute, Mengmeng was already blinking her big sparkling eyes and she squeezed herself into Zhang Han’s arms with a chuckle.
Zi Yan was quite dissatisfied.
“This naughty girl, you only care about your father now!”
“No, MaMa is also super good.”
“Then why didn’t you say that when you were crying just now?”
“I didn’t! ”
In response to this difficult situation, Mengmeng could only pretend to be dumb.
“Where are we going today?”
Zhang Han asked casually during the meal.
“Let’s not go to the famous ruins today.” Zi Yan smiled and said, “I’ve changed my plan. Let’s go shopping today. We’ve seen so many ancient cities, mountains, and seas. This time around, we have to experience the culture of the minority ethnicities. We’ve even picked the place to shop. We’ll rest up a while after breakfast and leave after that.”
“Oh, okay.” Zhang Han smiled.
Mengmeng was happy no matter where she went. However, she had traveled to many amazing places, so it was not bad for her to experience the cultures.
“We’ll go to Mona Town and Anhu Street in the morning. At noon, we will have lunch at the Resting Shadow Villa. Xiaofeng had already placed a reservation. That place is famous for the Nakhi Three Layers of Water. Apparently, it is the highest level of etiquette of the Nakhi people. It was used by big families to entertain guests in ancient times, especially for the third stack of water, which is the pork ribs hot pot. It looks delicious.”
Zi Yan became a little hungry as she spoke.
She and Mengmeng loved hotpot. It is a delicacy that they would never grow tired of eating.
After hearing that, Mengmeng mumbled, “We’re going to eat hotpot again.”
As a result, the one-day schedule was settled.
Zhang Han felt blessed to be able to bring Mengmeng to experience different aspects of life.
This time around, Jiang Yanlan, who was dressed in leather, led the team, and Instructor Liu was beside them. With Zhang Han around, he had the confidence to tease Jiang Yanlan. Looking at her sharp gaze, he knew that Instructor Liu was not far from his next beating.
As for Mu Xue, she also followed them the entire day. The three little maids around her were very thoughtful in their service. She was also staring at Zhang Han’s side the whole day, but unfortunately, she did not have a chance to do something.
The reason why she was able to kill Barger today was not only because of those substantial reasons but also because of her hiding skill and the secret skill of a fatal strike. She felt powerful and really wanted to learn more powerful moves.
“Humph, three days is enough for one to change drastically… You little brats of the Luo Fu Sword Sect, wait for me to go back and beat you up one by one!”
Time passed very quickly, and the October First Holidays came to an end in the blink of an eye.
On the afternoon of the seventh day, Zhang Han and the rest took the plane and returned back to Xiangjiang.
That night, Mengmeng said proudly, “School is starting again. PaPa, I have 45 little red flowers now. You have to promise me forty-five things.”
“That’s amazing. I already owe Mengmeng 45 things.”
Zhang Han smiled and caressed her small head.
“Teacher Lu gave us homework. She wants us to go to the podium and give a speech about where we went during the holidays. I can have another little red flower tomorrow. That will be 45 plus one… 46!”
“…”
Mengmeng was looking forward to the little red flower tomorrow, so she was very happy when she went to school the next day.
This was what most of the other students were looking forward to. Many parents cooperated with the teacher, and the children would be rewarded when they brought home a little red flower.
After sending Mengmeng to kindergarten, Zi Yan and Zhang Han headed to the company. They rode the helicopter and flew towards the sea area.
In front of an island.
There was a group of huge ships.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was about to start filming as well.
The director was still the same one, and Jiang Yanlan, who was in charge of the camera, was also there.
Apparently, this was going to be a very relaxing shoot.
