In the following days, Qi Lin spent a few peaceful days at the Han Family.
He accompanied the two women, chatting and playing chess in the bamboo forest, occasionally cooking for Qian Renxue and Hu Liena to satisfy their appetites.
During this time, Han Xue also visited a few times, but her expression was off; there was a hint of bashfulness in her gaze towards Qi Lin.
Both Qi Lin and the two women guessed her thoughts.
When Qi Lin was playing with the two women, Hu Liena would even tease him, suggesting he just take Han Xue in.
In truth, Han Xue's beauty wasn't exceptionally top-tier, far from comparable to the two women who had undergone multiple transformations.
However, her cold personality, combined with her current bashful demeanor, did possess a unique charm.
But Qi Lin merely smiled and never took any actual action.
Until Han Xue consistently ran to Qi Lin's bedroom door in the middle of the night, always choosing times when Qi Lin was playing with the two women.
Although Qi Lin didn't deliberately use his divine sense to observe the movements outside, Han Xue, whether due to carelessness or some other reason, would always inadvertently make a small sound.
With Qi Lin's five senses, it was naturally impossible for him not to detect these movements.
At first, Qi Lin didn't pay any attention.
Everyone tacitly pretended nothing had happened.
But unexpectedly, Han Xue grew bolder and even dared to open a crack in the bedroom door.
Until one time, Qian Renxue was exhausted, and Hu Liena, seeing that if they continued, she alone would be worn out, simply pulled Han Xue in to be their 'firefighter'.
Ultimately,
Han Xue got her wish, the burden on Hu Liena and Qian Renxue was lessened, and Qi Lin also enjoyed himself.
A three-way win!
As for the Han Family... it wasn't easy raising Han Xue for so long.
And Qi Lin was never a stingy person.
Although he only casually took out some leftover elixirs, the Han Family still underwent earth-shattering changes.
Only then did they realize why Alchemists were so revered.
In just a few days, Han Chi, the head of the Han Family, broke through from the peak of Dou Huang to a five-star Dou Zong.
Han Xiu broke through from a four-star Dou Zong to an eight-star Dou Zong.
And Han Xue's maternal uncle, Han Tian, also broke through to a three-star Dou Zong.
In addition, the elixirs produced by Qi Lin all had the effect of improving one's innate talent.
It could be said that the Han Family had soared to great heights.
Moreover, this didn't even account for the benefits Han Xue's future breakthrough to Dou Di would bring to the Han Family members.
Of course, such an improvement was, to some extent, not glorious, with a hint of selling one's daughter.
However, as Han Chi watched the increasing smiles on his daughter's face, the trace of guilt in his heart also dissipated considerably.
At least his daughter was happy.
In fact, Han Tian even privately sought out Han Chi to discuss something.
"Big brother, look how happy Xue'er is now, but Yue'er's future is still uncertain.
She's lonely by herself at Canaan Academy now; why not call her back?
If she stays by Xue'er's side in the future, the two sisters can look out for each other."
Han Tian's words made Han Chi a bit hesitant.
Although Han Xue seemed happy now, seeing Qi Lin's demeanor, he certainly had more women than just Qian Renxue and Hu Liena.
With more women, the competition would be greater.
Han Xue alone might not have much of an advantage.
But if his sister was added... Soon, a letter was sent from the Han Family to Canaan Academy... Several hundred li outside Tianbei City, two figures swiftly streaked across the sky.
One of the dark figures suddenly accelerated, instantly leaving the green figure behind.
Only after completely shaking off his pursuer did the dark figure slow down, revealing his disheveled appearance.
He was covered in wounds, and fresh red blood still flowed from his tattered black robe.
"Damn that Feng Xian, he's a madman, chasing me all the way from the Southern Region of Central State to the Northern Region of Central State."
"I originally wanted to take refuge in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but I didn't expect the Wind and Thunder Pavilion to have been destroyed."
The black-robed man cursed under his breath, especially when he mentioned Feng Xian, his gaunt face revealing a venomous expression.
This person was none other than Yao Chen's fellow disciple, Mu Gu.
Back then, Mu Gu, in collusion with the Hall of Souls and Han Feng, killed Yao Chen and pledged allegiance to the Hall of Souls, receiving significant attention from the Hall of Souls's Hall Master, Hun Miesheng.
However, unexpectedly, bad news suddenly came from the Hall of Souls a few days ago.
The Hall of Souls's patron, the Soul Clan, had been annihilated.
It was said that several other Dou Di bloodline families had jointly taken action.
Only a few individuals from the entire Soul Clan managed to escape from the Soul Realm.
And as a subordinate force of the Soul Clan, after the Soul Clan's destruction, various forces came one after another to intercept and kill them.
As an Elder of the Hall of Souls, Mu Gu was naturally a target for various forces.
The Earth Fiend Hall where he resided was breached, forcing him to flee in desperation, pursued by several vengeful Dou Zuns all the way to the Southern Region of Central State.
Just when he finally managed to shake off those vengeful Dou Zuns, he was caught red-handed by Venerable Feng, who had heard the news.
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red with fury.
When Yao Chen went missing, his primary suspects were Han Feng and Mu Gu.
Therefore, Venerable Feng immediately moved to capture Mu Gu, intending to interrogate him about Yao Chen's whereabouts.
Although Mu Gu's realm was one star lower than Venerable Feng's, as an eighth-grade Alchemist, Mu Gu had no shortage of elixirs.
Thus, relying on the elixirs he carried, Mu Gu escaped Venerable Feng's relentless pursuit, fleeing all the way from the Southern Region of Central State to the Northern Region of Central State.
As a result, Venerable Feng still refused to give up.
Mu Gu originally wanted to flee to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, where Venerable Lei was, to avoid the limelight, but he didn't expect the Wind and Thunder Pavilion to have already been destroyed.
And the person who destroyed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion came from an unknown small force.
Such situations were actually not uncommon on the continent, so Mu Gu didn't pay it much mind.
After all, the continent was full of hidden masters; perhaps some small force would suddenly soar to prominence because a peerless expert emerged from it.
The destruction of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion most likely meant they had provoked such a force, and it was simply their bad luck.
Thinking of this, Mu Gu didn't continue to ponder; he saw a city in the distance, and his spirit power swept over it.
The strongest person was only an eight-star Dou Zong.
There were quite a few Dou Zong experts, about seven or eight.
However, for Mu Gu, this posed no threat whatsoever!
It was a good place to settle down.
With this thought, Mu Gu immediately restrained his aura and instantly flew into the city, infiltrating the family with numerous Dou Zongs, landing in a serene bamboo forest.
"The environment here is quite nice; perhaps I can settle down here for a while."
Mu Gu thought this to himself and continued deeper into the bamboo forest.
He sensed three Dou Zong auras in the bamboo forest, but he didn't take them seriously.
Mere Dou Zongs!
Before long, four figures appeared in Mu Gu's line of sight.
Seeing this, Mu Gu was stunned.
Wrong!
He had clearly only sensed three auras just now, so why were there four figures?
The next second, Mu Gu's hair stood on end, a sense of horror rushing to his mind, leaving him with only one thought.
Not good!
