Han Feng chuckled and remained silent. Although he had only learned of the news yesterday, not refuting it now would conveniently cover up his lie about "special channels."

"Perhaps, the only mistake lies with the other party."

Han Feng pointed out.

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan should not have any interest in my Xiao clan's ancient jade."

Xiao Zhan said.

Although he is only a Battle Master now, he is one of the few people who knows the name of the ancient clan chief.

In terms of status, one is the patriarch of the Xiao clan, and the other is the patriarch of the Gu clan; the two are equals.

When Gu Xun'er was settled in the Xiao family, Gu Yuan also met with Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan's statement suggests that he sensed the unfathomable power of the other party, implying that seizing the ancient jade would be effortless.

"Although the ancient clans have no intention of doing this, if someone with ulterior motives finds out, this will be the fatal weakness that exposes the Xiao family."

"Um......"

Xiao Zhan remained silent.

"I can guarantee that the information will not be leaked, but Clan Chief Xiao should think about how to handle Miss Gu's matter."

At this point, Han Feng suddenly spoke.

"Last night, Xiao Yan attempted to break into Miss Gu's room."

"What? This happened!"

Xiao Zhan looked up abruptly, his expression one of shock, which was genuine and not feigned.

Han Feng nodded slightly and continued, "Fortunately, I was there at the time and made up an excuse to get away with it, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable."

Han Feng deliberately exaggerated the situation, otherwise, if Xiao Yan were really arrested as a lecher, the ancient clans wouldn't joke with him.

Xiao Zhan's expression was rather unpleasant, as if he was genuinely angry.

"I understand. Yan'er has only just learned the Battle Qi, yet she is already acting so recklessly. It seems she still needs to be properly disciplined."

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Han."

Xiao Zhan bowed to Han Feng, feeling embarrassed.

"It's alright. Children are naturally like this; they probably mean no harm. A little guidance will suffice."

Han Feng responded with a smile.

Xiao Zhan nodded.

"Yan'er has been without a mother since she was a child, and she has a somewhat withdrawn personality, so I have spoiled her a bit. She has only recently started to improve, but I never expected her to do something like this."

Han Feng lightly brushed aside this painful topic and said, "In short, Clan Chief Xiao should try to treat Miss Gu as an ordinary member of the Xiao family in the future, and take good care of her on a regular basis. When she grows up, the Gu Clan will naturally send someone to pick her up and take her back."

"That's all it can do."

Xiao Zhan sighed. He couldn't very well tell the ancient clans to take the people back now.

We lack both the ability and the confidence.

Han Feng then took out a token with a sea pattern on it and handed it to Xiao Zhan.

"This is?"

"Although the cause of my contact token has been found, it can still be used to contact me in case of any unexpected events. If I am near the Gama Empire, I will definitely come. If I cannot come in time, Chief Xiao can also use the energy in the token to protect the clansmen."

"Is Mr. Han leaving?"

"There's no rush, we can stay for two more days."

After Han Feng finished speaking, he carefully explained to Xiao Zhan how to use the token, and Xiao Zhan solemnly accepted it.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Han. I will always remember your kindness."

------

After leaving Xiao Zhan's residence, Han Feng returned to his guest room to rest.

When I went for a walk in the afternoon, I saw Xiao Yan squatting in a horse stance at Xiao Zhan's house, looking miserable, and his little face looked like he was about to cry.

Han Feng smiled and shook his head, heartlessly choosing to ignore it.

It's good to teach this kid a lesson, so he won't become a spoiled brat and go around harming respectable women.

At the Xiao family's training ground, clansmen were diligently practicing.

Although most of them were only at the Dou Zhe level, their fighting spirit was evident.

Even if the Xiao family has declined, they are still a cultivator class that is above ordinary people.

In this remote city of Wutan, they belonged to a large and prominent family.

Han Feng doesn't need to worry about them too much.

After walking around for most of the way, Han Feng arrived at the garden again. Miss Gu was sitting in the garden, flipping through a book.

"Da da!"

He gently knocked on the courtyard gate. The little girl looked up, saw it was Han Feng, and smiled.

"Mr. Han! You've arrived!"

Han Feng smiled and nodded.

"Miss Gu, how are you feeling? The strange fire should be calm now, right?"

"It's completely healed!"

Gu Xun'er said happily.

Seeing that the little girl was quite enthusiastic towards him, Han Feng patted her head.

"It's only temporary. The strange fire is inside your body, and sooner or later you will face this challenge."

"Don't be afraid of the pain then."

Gu Xun'er didn't seem to care: "I'm not afraid!"

"Well, I believe you."

Han Feng said with a smile, while taking out a jade bottle in his hand.

"I refined some pills last night. If Miss Gu encounters a similar situation as last night in the future, she can take one to relieve the symptoms."

Gu Xun'er took the jade bottle and blinked.

Is Mr. Han leaving?

"Well, I still have some things to do, so I can't stay at the Xiao family forever."

Gu Xun'er lowered her head slightly, holding the jade bottle without saying a word.

"However, before I leave, I will prepare a gift for Miss Gu. You can guess what it is."

"Is Mr. Han leaving tomorrow?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Then I'll also prepare a gift for Mr. Han. Mr. Han, guess what it is!"

Han Feng chuckled to himself.

"Okay, let's see who guesses correctly then."

After saying that, he prepared to take his leave, but Gu Xun'er called him back.

"Mr. Han, do you have anything else to do next?"

Han Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Gu Xun'er looked at the sky; it was still early before evening.

"Mr. Han, this is your first time visiting Wutan City, you probably haven't had a proper chance to explore it yet, have you?"

"Hmm, we haven't visited yet. How about we take a walk together?"

Han Feng said somewhat uncertainly.

Is that what Xiao Nizi meant?

A triumphant smile flashed in Gu Xun'er's eyes, and she nodded.

"Okay!"

And so, the two, one big and one small, walked out of the Xiao residence.

When the servant went to report to Xiao Zhan, he heard that Han Feng was also there. Xiao Zhan smiled indifferently.

"Let them be."

After their detailed discussion this morning, Xiao Zhan completely came to believe in Mr. Han.

If the target is ancient jade, then this morning is the best time to make a move.

But Han Feng did not do that.

If the Xiao family really encounters trouble in the future, perhaps this Mr. Han is someone they can entrust with their affairs.

Putting these "far-sighted plans" aside, Xiao Zhan smiled helplessly and continued to handle official business.

He still needs to cultivate after he finishes his official duties.

Nothing is better than relying on yourself.

Instead of thinking about those things, it's better to break through to the Great Dou Master level as soon as possible, so that the Xiao family can truly gain a foothold in Wutan City.

----

On the main street of Wutan City, Han Feng held Gu Xun'er's little hand and strolled through Xiao Family Market.

Although Gu Xun'er invited Han Feng out shopping, she herself had never shopped before and curiously looked around at everything.

Seeing that the little girl was very interested, Han Feng patiently accompanied her, buying things as they looked around, which greatly boosted the sales of Xiao Family Market.

To be honest, he still doesn't understand why the ancient clan sent their princess to the Xiao family.

Alone in a foreign land, Gu Xun'er must be very homesick.

Han Feng was very lucky. He was adopted by Yao Chen when he was an infant and enjoyed Yao Chen's fatherly care until adulthood.

Although his teachers were sometimes strict with him, Han Feng now feels nothing but happiness when he looks back on the past.

This is also the driving force that has enabled him to continue on this path in this life.

Therefore, Han Feng was not stingy in giving Gu Xun'er some care.

Unfortunately, the other party's identity is special. I can take care of them for a short time, but I can forget about doing so for a long time.

We still need to have this sense of proportion.

When Gu Xun'er grows up, she will become the most powerful person on this continent.

And this Wutan City will forever remain just a small town on the border of the Gama Empire.

What is the difference between immortals and mortals? This is the difference between immortals and mortals!

Chapter 8 Nalan

Outside Wutan City, mangrove forest.

Han Feng and Gu Xun'er strolled out of Wutan City and arrived at this place.

As autumn deepened, Han Feng looked at the red maple leaves covering the ground and a smile appeared on his lips.

Red leaves are the most sentimental, a single word conveys longing.

Han Feng picked a red maple leaf, held it between his fingers and examined it for a moment, then a gust of wind came, and he gently released his fingers, letting it drift away with the wind.

Gu Xun'er curiously looked around at the maple forest, her small hand holding a maple leaf.

As the setting sun hung on the branches, its lingering glow was the most beautiful picture. Han Feng took out his photographic jade to record this wonderful moment.

In his previous life, he liked to carry a photographic jade with him. This small piece of jade could record the little moments of beauty in life.

Han Feng and Yao Chen both appreciate this simple, natural beauty, which others may not understand, but they find joy in it.
